      Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc.

        640 5th Avenue, 4th Floor

        New York, New York 10019

       

      Ladies and Gentlemen:

       

      STRATA Skin Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), confirms its agreement (this “Agreement”) with Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., as
        follows:

       

      1.          Issuance and Sale of Shares.  The Company agrees that, from time to time during the term of this Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions
          set forth herein, it may issue and sell to or through Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., acting as agent and/or principal (the “Sales Agent”),
          shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), having an aggregate offering price of up
          to $11,000,000 (the “Maximum Amount”), subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3(b) hereof.  The issuance and sale of shares of Common Stock to or through the Sales Agent will be effected pursuant to the Registration Statement (as defined below) filed, or to
          be filed, by the Company, and after such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), although nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring the Company to use the Registration Statement (as defined below) to issue the Common Stock.

       

      On the date of this Agreement, the Company has filed, or will file, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933,
        as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”), with the Commission, a registration
        statement on Form S-3, including a base prospectus, relating to certain securities, including the Common Stock, to be issued from time to time
        by the Company, and which incorporates by reference documents that the Company has filed or will file in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the
        “Exchange Act”).  The Company has prepared a prospectus supplement specifically relating to the offer and sale of Placement Shares
        (as defined below) pursuant to this Agreement included as part of such registration statement (the “ATM Prospectus”). The Company
        will furnish to the Sales Agent, for use by the Sales Agent, copies of the ATM Prospectus included as part of such registration statement, relating to the Placement Shares. Except where the context otherwise requires, such registration statement,
        as amended when it becomes effective, including all documents filed as part thereof or incorporated by reference therein, and including any information contained in a Prospectus (as defined below) subsequently filed with the Commission pursuant to
        Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act or deemed to be a part of such registration statement pursuant to Rule 

      

       

      
        
          

        

        
          


        

      

      
      

      

      430B or 462(b) of the Securities Act, is herein called the “Registration Statement.”  The base prospectus, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, and the ATM Prospectus, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, each of which is included in the
        Registration Statement, as it or they may be supplemented by any additional prospectus supplement, in the form in which such prospectus and/or ATM Prospectus have most recently been filed by the Company with the Commission, is herein called the “Prospectus.” Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to
        refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein, and any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include
        the filing after the execution hereof of any document with the Commission deemed to be incorporated by reference therein. For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or to any amendment or supplement
        thereto shall be deemed to include any copy filed with the Commission pursuant to the Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval System or any successor thereto (collectively “EDGAR”).

       

      2.          Placements.  Each time that the Company wishes to issue and sell the Common Stock through the Sales Agent, as agent, hereunder (each, a “Placement”), it will notify the Sales Agent by email notice (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties) (a “Placement Notice”) containing the parameters in accordance with which it desires the Common Stock to be sold, which shall at a
          minimum include the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued (the “Placement Shares”), the time period during which sales
          are requested to be made, any limitation on the number of shares of Common Stock that may be sold in any one Trading Day (as defined in Section 3)
          and any minimum price below which sales may not be made, a form of which containing such minimum sales parameters necessary is attached hereto as Schedule 1.  The Placement Notice shall originate from any of the individuals from the Company set forth on Schedule 2
          (with a copy to each of the other individuals from the Company listed on such schedule), and shall be addressed to each of the individuals from the Sales Agent set forth on Schedule 2, as such Schedule 2 may be amended from time to time. 
          The Placement Notice shall be effective upon receipt by the Sales Agent unless and until (i) in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in Section 4,
          the Sales Agent declines to accept the terms contained therein for any reason, in its sole discretion, (ii) the entire amount of the Placement Shares have been sold, (iii) in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in Section 4, the Company suspends or terminates the Placement Notice, (iv) the Company issues a subsequent Placement Notice with parameters superseding
          those on the earlier dated Placement Notice, or (v) this Agreement has been terminated under the provisions of Section 11.  The amount of any
          discount, commission or other compensation to be paid by the Company to the Sales Agent in connection with the sale of the Placement Shares through the Sales Agent, as agent, shall be as set forth in Schedule 3.  It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that neither the Company nor the Sales Agent will have any obligation whatsoever with respect to a Placement or any
          Placement Shares unless and until the Company delivers a Placement Notice to the Sales Agent and the Sales Agent does not decline such Placement Notice pursuant to the terms set forth above, and then only upon the terms specified therein and
          herein.  In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of a Placement Notice, the terms of the Placement Notice will control.

       

      

        

       

      
        
          

        

        2

        
          


        

      

      
        3.          Sale of Placement Shares by the Sales Agent.

      

      

      

      

      

      (a)          Subject
          to the terms and conditions herein set forth, upon the Company’s issuance of a Placement Notice, and unless the sale of the Placement Shares described therein has been declined, suspended, or otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of
          this Agreement, the Sales Agent, as agent for the Company, will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations and the rules of The
          Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Exchange”), for the period specified in the Placement Notice, to sell such Placement Shares up to
          the amount specified by the Company in, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of such Placement Notice.  If acting as agent hereunder, the Sales Agent will provide written confirmation to the Company (including by email correspondence to
          each of the individuals of the Company set forth on Schedule 2, if receipt of such correspondence is actually acknowledged by
          any of the individuals to whom the notice is sent, other than via auto-reply) no later than the opening of the Trading Day (as defined below) immediately following the Trading Day on which it has made sales of Placement Shares hereunder setting
          forth the number of Placement Shares sold on such day, the compensation payable by the Company to the Sales Agent pursuant to Section 2 with
          respect to such sales, and the Net Proceeds (as defined below) payable to the Company, with an itemization of the deductions made by the Sales Agent (as set forth in Section 5(a)) from the gross proceeds that it receives from such sales.  Subject to the terms of the Placement Notice, the Sales Agent may sell Placement Shares by any method permitted by law deemed to be
          an “at the market” offering as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, including without limitation sales made directly on the Exchange, on any other existing trading market for the Common Stock or to or through a market maker.  If
          expressly authorized by the Company in a Placement Notice, the Sales Agent may also sell Placement Shares in privately negotiated transactions. Subject to Section 3(c)
          below, the Sales Agent shall not purchase Placement Shares for its own account as principal unless expressly authorized to do so by the Company in a Placement Notice.  The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) there can be no assurance that
          the Sales Agent will be successful in selling Placement Shares, and (ii) the Sales Agent will incur no liability or obligation to the Company or any other person or entity if it does not sell Placement Shares for any reason other than a failure
          by the Sales Agent to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable law and regulations to sell such Placement Shares as required under this Section 3.  For the purposes hereof, “Trading Day” means
          any day on which the Company’s Common Stock is purchased and sold on the principal market on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted.

       

      (b)          Under
          no circumstances shall the Company cause or request the offer or sale of any Placement Shares if, after giving effect to the sale of such Placement Shares, the aggregate number or gross sales proceeds of Placement Shares sold pursuant to this
          Agreement would exceed the lesser of: (i) the number or dollar amount of shares of Common Stock registered pursuant to the Registration Statement pursuant to which the offering hereunder is being made, (ii) the number of authorized but unissued
          and unreserved shares of Common Stock, (iii) the number or dollar amount of shares of Common Stock permitted to be offered and sold by the Company under Form S-3 (including General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3, if and for so long as
          applicable), (iv) the number or dollar amount of shares of Common Stock authorized from time to time to be issued and sold under this Agreement by the Company’s board of directors, a duly authorized committee thereof or a duly authorized
          executive committee, and notified to the Sales Agent in writing, or (v) the number or dollar amount of shares of Common Stock for which the Company has filed the ATM Prospectus or other prospectus or prospectus supplement thereto specifically
          relating to the offering of the Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement. Under no circumstances shall the Company cause or request the offer or sale of any Placement Shares pursuant to

       

      
        
          

        

        3

        
          


        

      

      

      

      this Agreement at a price lower than the minimum price authorized from time to time by the Company’s board of directors, a duly authorized committee
        thereof or a duly authorized executive committee, and notified to the Sales Agent in writing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that compliance with the limitations set forth in this
        Section 3(b) on the number or dollar amount of Placement Shares that may be issued and sold under this Agreement from time to time shall be the sole
        responsibility of the Company, and that the Sales Agent shall have no obligation in connection with such compliance.

       

      (c)          The
          Company acknowledges and agrees that the Sales Agent has informed the Company that the Sales Agent may, to the extent permitted under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (including, without limitation, Regulation M promulgated thereunder),
          purchase and sell shares of Common Stock for its own account while this Agreement is in effect, and shall be under no obligation to purchase Placement Shares on a principal basis pursuant to this Agreement, except as otherwise agreed by the Sales
          Agent in a Placement Notice; provided, that no such purchase or sales shall take place while a Placement Notice is in effect (except
          (i) as agreed by the Company and the Sales Agent in the Placement Notice or (ii) to the extent the Sales Agent may engage in sales of Placement Shares purchased or deemed purchased from the Company as a “riskless principal” or in a similar
          capacity); and, provided, further, that the Sales Agent acknowledges and agrees that, except as expressly set forth in a Placement
          Notice, any such transactions are not being, and shall not be deemed to have been, undertaken at the request or direction of, or for the account of, the Company, and that the Company has and shall have no control over any decision by the Sales
          Agent to enter into any such transactions.

       

      (d)          During the term of this Agreement and
          notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Sales Agent agrees that in no event will the Sales Agent or its affiliates engage in any market making, bidding, stabilization or other trading activity with regard to the Common Stock or
          related derivative securities if such activity would be prohibited under Regulation M or other anti-manipulation rules under the Exchange Act.

       

      4.          Suspension of Sales.

       

      (a)          The
          Company or the Sales Agent may, upon notice to the other party in writing (including by email correspondence to each of the individuals of the other party set forth on Schedule 2, if receipt of such correspondence is actually acknowledged by any of the individuals to whom the notice is sent, other than via auto-reply) or by telephone (confirmed
          immediately by verifiable facsimile transmission or email correspondence to each of the individuals of the other party set forth on Schedule 2),
          suspend any sale of Placement Shares for a period of time (a “Suspension Period”); provided, however, that such suspension shall not affect or
          impair either party’s obligations with respect to any Placement Shares sold hereunder prior to the receipt of such notice.  Each of the parties agrees that no such notice under this Section 4 shall be effective against the other unless it is made to one of the individuals named on Schedule 2
          hereto, as such schedule may be amended from time to time.  During a Suspension Period, the Company shall not issue any Placement Notices and the Sales Agent shall not sell any Placement Shares hereunder.  The party that issued a suspension
          notice shall notify the other party in writing of the Trading Day on which the Suspension Period shall expire not later than twenty-four (24) hours prior to such Trading Day.

       

      
        
          

        

        4

        
          


        

      

      

      

      (b)          Notwithstanding
          any other provision of this Agreement, during any period in which the Company is in possession of material non-public information, the Company and the Sales Agent agree that (i) no sale of Placement Shares will take place, (ii) the Company shall
          not request the sale of any Placement Shares, and (iii) the Sales Agent shall not be obligated to sell or offer to sell any Placement Shares.

       

      5.          Settlement.

       

      (a)          Settlement of Placement Shares.  Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Placement Notice, settlement for sales of Placement Shares will occur on
          the second (2nd) Trading Day (or such earlier day as is industry practice for regular-way trading) following the respective Point of Sale (as defined below) (each, a “Settlement Date”).  The amount of proceeds to be delivered to the Company on a Settlement Date against receipt of the Placement Shares sold (the “Net Proceeds”) will be equal to the aggregate sales price received by the Sales Agent at which such Placement Shares were sold, after deduction for (i) the
          Sales Agent’s discount, commission or other compensation for such sales payable by the Company pursuant to Section 2 hereof, (ii) any other
          amounts due and payable by the Company to the Sales Agent hereunder pursuant to Section 7(g) (Expenses) hereof and (iii) any transaction fees
          imposed by any governmental or self-regulatory organization in respect of such sales. “Point of Sale” means, for a Placement,
          the time at which an acquiror of Placement Shares entered into a contract, binding upon such acquiror, to acquire such Placement Shares.

       

      (b)          Delivery of Placement Shares.  On each Settlement Date, the Company will, or will cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer the Placement
          Shares being sold by crediting the Sales Agent’s or its designee’s account (provided the Sales Agent shall have given the Company written notice of such designee prior to the Settlement Date) at The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit
          and Withdrawal at Custodian System or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto which in all cases shall be freely tradable, transferable, registered shares in good deliverable form.  On each Settlement
          Date, the Sales Agent will deliver the related Net Proceeds in same day funds to an account designated by the Company on, or prior to, the Settlement Date.  The Company agrees that if the Company, or its transfer agent (if applicable), defaults
          in its obligation to deliver duly authorized Placement Shares on a Settlement Date, in addition to and in no way limiting the rights and obligations set forth in Section 9(a) (Indemnification and Contribution) hereto, the Company will (i) hold the Sales Agent, its directors, officers, members, partners, employees and agents of the Sales Agent, each broker dealer
          affiliate of the Sales Agent, and each person, if any, who (A) controls the Sales Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act or (B) is controlled by or is under common control with the Sales
          Agent (each, a “Sales Agent Affiliate”), harmless against any loss, claim, damage, or expense (including reasonable legal fees
          and expenses), as incurred, arising out of or in connection with such default by the Company or its transfer agent (if applicable) and (ii) pay to the Sales Agent any commission, discount, or other compensation to which it would otherwise have
          been entitled absent such default.

       

      6.          Representations and Warranties of the Company.  The Company, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the
          Sales Agent that as of each Applicable Time (as defined in Section 22(a)):

       

      
        
          

        

        5

        
          


        

      

      

      

      (a)          Compliance with Registration Requirements.  As of each Applicable Time other than the date of this Agreement, the Registration Statement and any
          Rule 462(b) Registration Statement have been declared effective by the Commission under the Securities Act.  The Company has complied to the Commission’s satisfaction with all requests of the Commission for additional or supplemental information
          related to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.  No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement is in effect and no proceedings for such purpose have been instituted or
          are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, are contemplated or threatened by the Commission.  The Registration Statement and the offer and sale of the Placement Shares as contemplated hereby meet the requirements of Rule 415 under the
          Securities Act and comply in all material respects with said Rule.  In the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” in the ATM Prospectus, the Company has named Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. as an agent that the Company has engaged in
          connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  The Company was not and is not an “ineligible issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

       

      (b)          No Misstatement or Omission.  As of (i) the time of filing of the Registration Statement and (ii) as of the date of this Agreement, the Company was not
          an “ineligible issuer” in connection with the offering of the Placement Shares pursuant to Rules 164, 405 and 433 under the Securities Act.  The Company agrees to notify the Sales Agent promptly upon the Company becoming an “ineligible issuer.”
          The Prospectus when filed will comply or complied and, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will comply in all material respects with the Securities Act.  Each of the Registration Statement, any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement and any
          post-effective amendment thereto, at the time it becomes effective, and as of each Applicable Time, if any, will comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and did not and, as of each Applicable Time, if any, will not contain any
          untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, as of its date, did not and, as of each
          Applicable Time, if any, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
          The representations and warranties set forth in the two immediately preceding sentences do not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement, any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, or any post-effective amendment thereto,
          or the Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto, made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company in writing by the Sale Agent expressly for use therein.  The parties hereto agree that the information
          provided in writing by or on behalf of the Sales Agent expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, or any post-effective amendment thereto, or the Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto,
          consists solely of the material referred to in Schedule 5 hereto, as updated from time to time. There are no contracts or other
          documents required to be described in the Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement which have not been described or filed as required.

       

      (c)          S-3 Eligibility. At the time the Registration Statement and any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement was or will be filed with the Commission, at the
          time the Registration Statement and any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement was or will be declared effective by the Commission, and at the time the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K was filed with the Commission, the Company met or
          will meet the then applicable

       

      
        
          

        

        6

        
          


        

      

      

      

      (d)          requirements
          for the use of Form S-3 under the Securities Act, including, but not limited to, General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3, if and for so long as applicable. As of the close of trading on the Exchange on October 6, 2021, the aggregate market
          value of the outstanding voting and non-voting common equity (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the Company held by persons other than affiliates of the Company (pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, those that
          directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, control, or are controlled by, or are under common control with, the Company)  (the “Non-Affiliate Shares”), was approximately $11.1 million (calculated by multiplying (x) the price at which the common equity of the Company was last sold on the Exchange on September 27, 2021 times (y) the number of
          Non-Affiliate Shares). The Company is not a shell company (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) and has not been a shell company for at least 12 calendar months previously and if it has been a shell company at any time previously, has
          filed current Form 10 information (as defined in General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3) with the Commission at least 12 calendar months previously reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

       

      (e)          Distribution of Offering Material By the Company.  The Company has not distributed and will not distribute, prior to the completion of the Sales Agent’s distribution of the Placement Shares, any
          offering material in connection with the offering and sale of the Placement Shares other than the Prospectus or the Registration Statement.

       

      (f)          The Equity Distribution Agreement.  This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, and constitutes a valid, legal, and
          binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as rights to indemnity hereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws and except as such enforceability may be limited by
          bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, and subject to general principles of equity.  The Company has full corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to
          authorize, issue and sell the Placement Shares as contemplated by this Agreement.  This Agreement conforms in all material respects to the descriptions thereof in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

       

      (g)          Authorization of the Placement Shares.  The Placement Shares to be sold by the Sales Agent, acting as agent and/or principal for the Company, have been
          duly authorized and when issued and paid for as contemplated herein will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.  The issuance of the Placement Shares is not subject to the preemptive or other similar rights of any stockholder of the
          Company.

       

      (h)          No Applicable Registration or Other Similar Rights.  There are no persons with registration or other similar rights to have any equity or debt
          securities registered for sale under the Registration Statement or included in the offering contemplated by this Agreement, except for such rights as have been duly waived.  No person has the right to act as an underwriter or as a financial
          advisor to the Company in connection with the offer and sale of the Placement Shares hereunder, whether as a result of the filing or effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the sale of the Placement Shares as contemplated hereby or
          otherwise.

       

      (i)          No Material Adverse Change.  Except as otherwise disclosed in the Prospectus, subsequent to the respective dates as of which information is given in

          or any of its subsidiaries of any class of capital stock.

          the Prospectus, are independent public accountants as required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

       

      (l)          Preparation of the Financial Statements.  The consolidated financial statements of the Company, together with related notes and schedules as
          incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, present fairly the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows of the Company, at the indicated dates and for the indicated periods.  Such financial
          statements and related schedules have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted principles of accounting, consistently applied throughout the periods involved, except as disclosed therein, and all adjustments necessary for a fair

          extent required.  The financial data set forth or incorporated in the Prospectus fairly present the information set forth therein at the indicated dates and for the indicated periods on a basis consistent with that of the audited financial

      balance sheet obligations or any “variable interest entities” as that term is used in Accounting Standards Codification Paragraph 810-10-25-20), not
        disclosed in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.  All disclosures contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus that contain “non-GAAP financial measures” (as such term is defined by the rules and regulations of the
        Commission) comply, in all material respects, with Regulation G under the Exchange Act and Item 10 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, to the extent applicable.

       

      (m)          XBRL.  The interactive data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement fairly

      (n)          Incorporation and Good Standing of the Company and its Subsidiaries.  The Company is a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing under the
          laws of the State of Delaware and is in good standing under such laws.  The Company has requisite corporate power to carry on its business as described in the Prospectus.  The Company is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing
          in all jurisdictions in which the conduct of its business requires such qualification; except where the failure to be so qualified or to be in good standing would not result in a Material Adverse Change.  The Company does not own or control,
          directly or indirectly, any corporation, association or other entity other than the subsidiaries listed on Schedule 4.  Each of
          the subsidiaries has requisite corporate power to carry on its business as described in the Prospectus.  Each of the subsidiaries is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in all jurisdictions in which the conduct of its
          business requires such qualification; except where the failure to be so qualified or to be in good standing would not result in a Material Adverse Change.

       

      (o)          Capital Stock Matters.  The Common Stock conforms in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the Prospectus.  The form of
          certificates for the Common Stock conforms to the corporate law of the jurisdiction of the Company’s incorporation.  All of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and
          nonassessable and have been issued in compliance with federal and state securities laws.  None of the outstanding shares of Common Stock were issued in violation of any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights to
          subscribe for or purchase securities of the Company.  There are no authorized or outstanding options, warrants, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other rights to purchase, or equity or debt securities convertible into or exchangeable
          or exercisable for, any capital stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than those disclosed in the Prospectus or in a document filed as an exhibit to or incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement.  All of the issued
          and outstanding capital stock of, or other ownership interests in, each subsidiary of the Company has been duly authorized and validly issued, is fully paid and non-assessable and, except for directors’ qualifying shares, is owned by the Company,
          directly or through subsidiaries, free and clear of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or claim.

       

      (p)          Non-Contravention of Existing Instruments; No Further Authorizations or Approvals Required.  Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is (i) in
          breach or violation of its certificate or articles of incorporation, charter, bylaws, limited liability company agreement, certificate or agreement of limited or general partnership, memorandum and articles of association, or other similar
          organizational

      documents, as the case may be, of such entity, (ii) in breach of or in default (or, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would be in
        default) (“Default”) under any indenture, mortgage, loan or credit agreement, deed of trust, note, contract, franchise, lease or other
        agreement, obligation, condition, covenant or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of them may be bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is
        subject (each, an “Existing Instrument”), or (iii) in violation of any statute, law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree of any
        court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body, arbitrator or other authority having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their properties, as applicable, except, with respect to clauses (ii) and
        (iii) only, for such breaches, violations or Defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change.  The Company’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions
        contemplated hereby or by the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (including the issuance and sale of the Placement Shares and the use of the proceeds from the sale of the Placement Shares as described in the Prospectus under the caption “Use
        of Proceeds”) (i) will not result in any breach or violation of the certificate or articles of incorporation, charter, bylaws, limited liability company agreement, certificate or agreement of limited or general partnership, memorandum and articles
        of association, or other similar organizational documents, as the case may be, of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) will not conflict with or constitute a breach of, or Default or a Debt Repayment Triggering Event (as defined below)
        under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge, claim or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to, or require the consent of any other party to, any Existing Instrument, and
        (iii) will not result in any violation of any statute, law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body, arbitrator or
        other authority having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of its or their properties, as applicable, except, with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii) only, for such conflicts, breaches, Defaults, Debt Repayment Triggering
        Events or violations that would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change.  As used herein, a “Debt Repayment
            Triggering Event” means any event or condition which gives, or with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would give, the holder of any note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such holder’s
        behalf), issued by the Company, the right to require the repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or a portion of such indebtedness by the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries.  Each approval, consent, order, authorization, designation,
        declaration or filing by or with any regulatory, administrative or other governmental body necessary in connection with the execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement and the performance of the Company of the transactions herein
        contemplated has been obtained or made and is in full force and effect, except (i) such additional steps as may be required by the bylaws and rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) or (ii) such additional steps as may be necessary to qualify the Common Stock for sale by the Sales Agent under state securities or Blue Sky laws.

       

      (q)          No Material Actions or Proceedings; Labor Disputes.  There is no action, suit, claim or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company,
          threatened against the Company before any court or administrative agency or otherwise (i) that is required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus and are not so described or (ii) which, if determined adversely to the
          Company, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change or prevent the

       

      
        
          

        

        10

        
          


        

      

      

      

      consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except as set forth in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.  The aggregate of all pending
        legal or governmental proceedings to which the Company and its subsidiaries is a party or of which any of their property or assets is the subject which are not described in the Prospectus, including ordinary routine litigation incidental to the
        business, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.  No labor dispute with the employees of the Company exists or, to the Company’s knowledge, is threatened or imminent, and the Company is not aware of any existing or
        imminent labor dispute by the employees of any of its principal suppliers, contractors or customers, that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.  None of the employees of the Company
        or any of its subsidiaries is represented by a union and, to the knowledge of the Company, no union organizing activities are taking place.  Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has violated any federal, state or local law or foreign law
        relating to the discrimination in hiring, promotion or pay of employees, nor any applicable wage or hour laws, or the rules and regulations thereunder, or analogous foreign laws and regulations, which might, individually or in the aggregate, result
        in a Material Adverse Change.

       

      (r)          All Necessary Permits, etc.  Each of the Company and its subsidiaries has all material licenses, certifications, permits, franchises, approvals,
          clearances and other regulatory authorizations (“Permits”) from governmental authorities as are necessary to (i) conduct its
          businesses as currently conducted and (ii) own, lease and operate its properties in the manner described in the Prospectus.  There is no claim or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, involving the status of or
          sanctions under any of the Permits.  Each of the Company and its subsidiaries has fulfilled and performed all of its material obligations with respect to the Permits, and the Company is not aware of the occurrence of any event which allows, or
          after notice or lapse of time would allow, the revocation, termination, or other impairment of the rights of the Company or any of its subsidiaries under such Permit.

       

      (s)          Tax Law Compliance.  All United States federal income tax returns of the Company and its subsidiaries required by law to be filed have been filed or
          extensions thereof have been requested, and all taxes shown by such returns or otherwise assessed, which are due and payable, have been paid, except assessments that are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been
          provided.  Each of the Company and its subsidiaries has filed all other tax returns that are required to have been filed by it pursuant to applicable foreign, state, provincial, local or other law except insofar as the failure to file such
          returns would not result in a Material Adverse Change, and has paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Company and its subsidiaries, except for such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good
          faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided and except for such taxes or assessments the nonpayment of which would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change.  The charges, accruals and reserves on
          the books of the Company and its subsidiaries in respect of any income and corporation tax liability for any years not finally determined are adequate to meet any assessments or re-assessments for additional tax for any years not finally
          determined, except to the extent of any inadequacy that would not result in a Material Adverse Change.  All material taxes which the Company and its subsidiaries are required by law to withhold or to collect for payment have been duly withheld
          and collected and have been paid to the appropriate governmental authority or agency or have been accrued, reserved against and entered on the books of the Company and its subsidiaries.  There are no transfer taxes or other

       

      
        
          

        

        11

        
          


        

      

      

      

      similar fees or charges under Federal law or the laws of any state, or any political subdivision thereof, required to be paid in connection with the
        execution and delivery of this Agreement or the issuance by the Company or sale by the Sales Agent of the Placement Shares, acting as agent and/or principal for the Company.

       

      (t)          Company Not an “Investment Company”.  The Company has been advised of the rules and requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
          (the “Investment Company Act”).  The Company is not, and after receipt of payment for the Placement Shares will not be, an
          “investment company” within the meaning of Investment Company Act and will conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment Company Act.

       

      (u)          Insurance.  Except as otherwise described in the Prospectus, the Company carries, or is covered by, insurance in such amounts and covering such risks
          as is generally considered adequate for the conduct of its business and the value of its properties and as is customary for companies engaged in similar industries.  All policies of insurance insuring the Company or its business, assets,
          employees, officers and directors are in full force and effect, and the Company is in compliance with the terms of such policies in all material respects.  There are no claims by the Company under any such policy or instrument as to which an
          insurance company is denying liability or defending under a reservation of rights clause.  The Company has no reason to believe that it will not be able (i) to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such policies expire or (ii) to
          obtain comparable coverage from similar institutions as may be necessary or appropriate to conduct its business as now conducted and at a cost that would not result in a Material Adverse Change.

       

      (v)          No Price Stabilization or Manipulation.  Neither the Company, nor any of its subsidiaries, nor any of its or their respective directors, officers or,
          to the knowledge of the Company, controlling persons has taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that might 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 the Common Stock.

       

      (w)          Related Party Transactions.  There are no business relationships or related-party transactions involving the Company or any subsidiary or any other person required to be described in the
          Prospectus which have not been described as required.

       

      (x)          Exchange Act Compliance.  The documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any
          amendment or supplement thereto, at the time they were or hereafter are filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act, complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act, and, when read together with
          the other information in the Prospectus, at each Point of Sale and each Settlement Date, will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the fact required
          to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

       

      (y)          Free Writing Prospectuses.  The Company represents and warrants to the Sales Agent that neither it nor any of its agents or representatives (other than
          the Sales Agent in its capacity as such) has made any offer relating to the Placement Shares that would constitute a “free writing prospectus” as

       

      
        
          

        

        12

        
          


        

      

      

      

      defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act and that it agrees with the Sales Agent that it will not make any offer relating to the Placement Shares
        that would constitute a “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

       

      (z)          Compliance with Environmental Laws.  To its knowledge, the Company is not in violation of any statute, any rule, regulation, decision or order of any
          governmental agency or body or any court, domestic or foreign, relating to the use, disposal or release of hazardous chemicals, toxic substances or radioactive and biological materials or relating to the protection or restoration of the
          environment or human exposure to hazardous chemicals, toxic substances or radioactive and biological materials (collectively, “Environmental
              Laws”).  The Company neither owns nor, to its knowledge, operates any real property contaminated with any substance that is subject to any Environmental Laws, is not liable for any off-site disposal or contamination pursuant to any
          Environmental Laws, nor is it subject to any claim relating to any Environmental Laws, which violation, contamination, liability or claim would individually or in the aggregate result in a Material Adverse Change; and the Company is not aware of
          any pending investigation which might lead to such a claim.

       

      (aa)          Intellectual Property.  Each of the Company and its subsidiaries owns and has full right, title and interest in and to, or has valid licenses to use,
          each material trade name, trademark, service mark, patent, copyright, approval, trade secret and other similar rights (collectively “Intellectual
              Property”) under which the Company and its subsidiaries conduct all or any material part of their respective businesses, and the Company has not created any lien or encumbrance on, or granted any right or license with respect to,
          any such Intellectual Property, except where the failure to own or obtain a license or right to use any such Intellectual Property could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change; there is no claim pending against the
          Company or its subsidiaries with respect to any Intellectual Property, and the Company and its subsidiaries have not received notice or otherwise become aware that any Intellectual Property that it uses or has used in the conduct of its business
          infringes upon or conflicts with the rights of any third party.

       

      (bb)          Brokers.  Other than the Sales Agent, there is no broker, finder or other party that is entitled to receive from the Company any brokerage or finder’s
          fee or other fee or commission as a result of any transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

       

      (cc)          No Outstanding Loans or Other Indebtedness.  There are no outstanding loans, advances (except normal advances for business expenses in the ordinary
          course of business) or guarantees of indebtedness by the Company to or for the benefit of any of the officers or directors of the Company or any of their respective family members, except as disclosed in the Prospectus.  The Company has not
          directly or indirectly extended or maintained credit, arranged for the extension of credit, or renewed an extension of credit, in the form of a personal loan to or for any director or executive officer of the Company.

       

      (dd)          No Reliance.  The Company has not relied upon the Sales Agent or legal counsel for the Sales Agent for any legal, tax or accounting advice in
          connection with the offering and sale of the Placement Shares.

       

      (ee)          Broker-Dealer Status.  Neither the Company nor any of its related entities (i) is required to register as a “broker” or “dealer” in accordance with the
          provisions of the Exchange Act or (ii)  directly

       

      
        
          

        

        13

        
          


        

      

      

      

      or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is a “person associated with a member” or “associated person of a member” (within the
        meaning of Article I of the NASD Manual administered by FINRA).  To the Company’s knowledge, there are no affiliations or associations between any member of FINRA and any of the Company’s officers, directors or 5% or greater security holders,
        except as set forth in the Registration Statement.  All of the information (including, but not limited to, information regarding affiliations, security ownership and trading activity) provided to the Sales Agent or its counsel by the Company, its
        officers and directors and the holders of any securities (debt or equity) or warrants, options or rights to acquire any securities of the Company in connection with the filing to be made and other supplemental information to be provided to FINRA
        pursuant to Rule 5110 of FINRA in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is true, complete and correct, and copies of any Company filings required to be filed with FINRA have been filed with the Commission or delivered to
        the Sales Agent for filing with FINRA.

       

      (ff)          Compliance with Laws.  The Company has not been advised, and has no reason to believe, that it and each of its subsidiaries are not conducting business
          in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations of the jurisdictions in which it is conducting business, except where failure to be so in compliance would not result in a Material Adverse Change.

       

      (gg)          Certain Regulations.  The studies, tests and clinical trials conducted by or on behalf of the Company and its subsidiaries were and, if still pending,
          are being conducted in compliance with experimental protocols, procedures and controls pursuant to accepted professional scientific standards and all applicable laws and authorizations, including, without limitation, the Federal Food, Drug and
          Cosmetic Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, except where the failure to be in compliance could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change; the descriptions of the results of such studies, tests and
          clinical trials contained in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus are accurate and complete in all material respects and fairly present the data derived from such studies, tests and clinical trials; except to the extent disclosed in the
          Registration Statement and the Prospectus, to the knowledge of the Company, there are no studies, tests or clinical trials, the results of which the Company believes reasonably call into question the study, test, or clinical trial results
          described or referred to in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus when viewed in the context in which such results are described; and, except to the extent disclosed in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, the Company and its
          subsidiaries have not received any notices or correspondence from any applicable governmental authority requiring the termination, suspension or material modification of any studies, tests or clinical trials conducted by or on behalf of the
          Company or its subsidiaries.

          Change; (B) have not received any warning letter or other correspondence or notice from the FDA, EMA or any other governmental authority alleging or asserting noncompliance with any

       

      
        
          

        

        14

        hearing, enforcement, investigation, arbitration or other action from any governmental authority or third party alleging that any product operation or activity is in violation of any Applicable Laws or Authorizations and have no knowledge that any

        party has initiated, conducted or intends to initiate any such notice or action.

       

      (ii)          Sarbanes–Oxley Act.  There is and has been no failure on the part of the Company or any of the Company’s directors or officers, in their capacities as
          such, to comply in all material respects with any applicable provision of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated in connection therewith (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), including Section 402 related to loans and Sections 302 and 906 related to certifications.

       

      (jj)          Disclosure Controls And Procedures.  The Company has established and maintains “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a–15(e) and
          15d–15(e) of the Exchange Act); the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” are reasonably designed to ensure that all information (both financial and non–financial) required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it will file
          or furnish under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations of the Commission, and that all such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s
          management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company required under the Exchange Act with respect to such
          reports.

       

      (kk)          Company’s Accounting System.  The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that
          (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
          and to maintain accountability for assets; (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 existing assets at reasonable
          intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

      (ll)          ERISA.  The Company is in compliance in all material respects with all presently applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
          of 1974, as amended, including the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (“ERISA”); no “reportable event” (as
          defined in ERISA) has occurred with respect to any “pension plan” (as defined in ERISA) for which the Company would have any liability; the Company has not incurred and does not expect to incur liability under (i) Title IV of ERISA with respect
          to termination of, or withdrawal from, any “pension plan” or (ii) Sections 412 or 4971 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (the “Code”); and each “pension plan” for which the Company would have any liability that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so
          qualified in all material respects and nothing has occurred, whether by action or by failure to act, which would cause the loss of such qualification.

       

      (mm)          Contracts and Agreements.  There are no contracts, agreements, instruments or other documents that are required to be described in the Registration
          Statement or the Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits thereto which have not been so described in all material respects and filed as required by Item 601(b) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.  The copies of all contracts, agreements,
          instruments and other documents (including governmental licenses, authorizations, permits, consents and approvals and all amendments or waivers relating to any of the foregoing) that have been furnished to the Sales Agent or its counsel are
          complete and genuine and include all material collateral and supplemental agreements thereto.  All contracts and agreements between the Company and third parties expressly referenced in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus are legal,
          valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except as rights to indemnity thereunder (as applicable) may be limited by federal or state securities laws and except as
          such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, and subject to general principles of equity.

       

      (nn)          Title to Properties.  Except as set forth in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, the Company and each of its subsidiaries have good and
          marketable title to all of the properties and assets reflected as owned in the financial statements referred to in Section 6(j) above (or elsewhere in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus), in each case free and clear of any security
          interests, mortgages, liens, encumbrances, equities, claims and other defects, except such as do not materially and adversely affect the value of such property or assets and do not materially interfere with the use made or proposed to be made of
          such property by the Company or any subsidiary.  The material real property, improvements, equipment and personal property held under lease by the Company or any of its subsidiaries are held under valid and enforceable leases, with such
          exceptions as are not material and do not materially interfere with the use made or proposed to be made of such real property, improvements, equipment or personal property by the Company or such subsidiary.  The Company and each of its
          subsidiaries have such consents, easements, rights-of-way or licenses from any person (“rights-of-way”) as are necessary to
          enable the Company and each of its subsidiaries to conduct its business in the manner described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and except for such rights-of-way the lack of which would not, individually or in the aggregate,
          result in a Material Adverse Change.

       

      (oo)          No Unlawful Contributions or Other Payments.  No payments or inducements have been made or given, directly or indirectly, to any federal or local
          official or candidate for, any federal or state

       

      
        
          

        

        16

        
          


        

      

      

      

      office in the United States or foreign offices by the Company or any of its officers or directors, or, to the knowledge of the Company, by any of its
        employees or agents or any other person in connection with any opportunity, contract, permit, certificate, consent, order, approval, waiver or other authorization relating to the business of the Company, except for such payments or inducements as
        were lawful under applicable laws, rules and regulations.  Neither the Company, nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, agent, employee or other person associated with or acting on behalf of the Company, (i) has used any
        corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expense relating to political activity; (ii) made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any government official or employee from corporate funds; or
        (iii) made any bribe, unlawful rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment in connection with the business of the Company.

       

      (pp)          Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.  None of the Company, any subsidiary or, to the knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, agent, employee,
          affiliate or other person acting on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, is aware of or has taken any action, directly or indirectly, that would result in a violation by such persons of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as
          amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “FCPA”), including, without limitation, making use of the
          mails or any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce corruptly in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization of the payment of any money, or other property, gift, promise to give, or authorization of the giving of
          anything of value to any “foreign official” (as such term is defined in the FCPA) or any foreign political party or official thereof or any candidate for foreign political office, in contravention of the FCPA.  The Company and its subsidiaries
          have conducted their respective businesses in compliance with the FCPA and have instituted and maintain policies and procedures designed to ensure, and which are reasonably expected to continue to ensure, continued compliance therewith.

       

      (qq)          Money Laundering Laws.  The operations of the Company and its subsidiaries are and have been conducted at all times in compliance with applicable
          financial recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, the money laundering statutes of all jurisdictions, the rules and regulations thereunder and any related or similar
          rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by any governmental agency (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”)
          and no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the knowledge of the
          Company, threatened.

       

      (rr)          OFAC.  None of the Company, any subsidiary or, to the knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, agent, employee, affiliate or person acting on
          behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”); and the Company will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the offering, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any subsidiary, joint venture
          partner or other person or entity, for the purpose of financing the activities of any person currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC.

       

      (ss)          Exchange Listing.  The Common Stock is currently listed on the Exchange under the trading symbol “SSKN”.  Except as disclosed in the Prospectus, the
          Company has not, in the 12 months

       

      
        
          

        

        17

        
          


        

      

      

      

      preceding the date the first Placement Notice is given hereunder, received notice from the Exchange to the effect that the Company is not in compliance
        with the listing or maintenance requirements.  Except as disclosed in the Prospectus, the Company has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements.

       

      (tt)          Margin Rules.  Neither the issuance, sale and delivery of the Placement Shares nor the application of the proceeds thereof by the Company as described
          in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus will violate Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other regulation of such Board of Governors.

       

      (uu)          Continuous Offering Agreements.  Except for this Agreement, the Company is not party to any other equity distribution or sales agency agreement or
          other similar arrangement with any other agent or any other representative in respect of any “at the market offering” or other continuous equity offering transaction.

       

      (vv)          No Material Defaults.  Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has defaulted on any installment on indebtedness for borrowed money or on any
          rental on one or more long-term leases, which defaults, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

       

      Any certificate signed by an officer of the Company and delivered to the Sales Agent or to counsel for the Sales Agent pursuant to or in connection with
        this Agreement shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Company to the Sales Agent as to the matters set forth therein.

       

      The Company acknowledges that the Sales Agent and, for purposes of the opinions to be delivered pursuant to Section 7 hereof, counsel to the Company and counsel to the Sales Agent, will rely upon the accuracy and truthfulness of the foregoing representations and hereby consents to such reliance.

       

      7.          Covenants of the Company.  The Company covenants and agrees with the Sales Agent that:

       

      (a)          Registration Statement Amendments.  After the date of this Agreement and during any period in which a Prospectus relating to any Placement Shares is
          required to be delivered by the Sales Agent under the Securities Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 under the Securities Act), (i) the Company will notify the Sales Agent promptly of the
          time when any subsequent amendment to the Registration Statement, other than documents incorporated by reference, has been filed with the Commission and/or has become effective or any subsequent supplement to the Prospectus has been filed and of
          any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information, (ii) the Company will prepare and file with the Commission, promptly upon the Sales Agent’s request, any
          amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus that, in the Sales Agent’s reasonable opinion, may be necessary or advisable in connection with the distribution of the Placement Shares by the Sales Agent (provided, however, that
          the failure of the Sales Agent to make such request shall not relieve the Company of any obligation or liability hereunder, or affect the Sales Agent’s right to rely on the representations and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement, and
          provided, further,

       

      
        
          

        

        18

        
          


        

      

      

      

      that the only remedy the Sales Agent shall have with respect to the failure to  make such filing shall be to cease making sales under this Agreement
        until such amendment or supplement is filed); (iii) the Company will not file any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus, other than documents incorporated by reference, relating to the Placement Shares or a security
        convertible into the Placement Shares unless a copy thereof has been submitted to the Sales Agent within a reasonable period of time before the filing and the Sales Agent has not reasonably objected thereto (provided, however, that the failure of the Sales Agent to make such
        objection shall not relieve the Company of any obligation or liability hereunder, or affect the Sales Agent’s right to rely on the representations and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement, and provided, further, that the only remedy the Sales Agent shall have with respect
        to the failure by the Company to obtain such consent shall be to cease making sales under this Agreement); (iv) the Company will furnish to the Sales Agent at the time of filing thereof a copy of any document that upon filing is deemed to be
        incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or Prospectus, except for those documents available via EDGAR; (v) the Company will cause each amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, other than documents incorporated by reference, to
        be filed with the Commission as required pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8) of the Securities Act) or, in the case of any documents incorporated by reference, to be filed
        with the Commission as required pursuant to the Exchange Act, within the time period prescribed.

       

      (b)          Notice of Commission Stop Orders.  The Company will advise the Sales Agent, promptly after it receives notice or obtains knowledge thereof, of the
          issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any notice objecting to, or other order preventing or suspending the use of, the Prospectus, of the suspension of the qualification of the
          Placement Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the initiation of any proceeding for any such purpose or any examination pursuant to Section 8(e) of the Securities Act, or if the Company becomes the subject of a proceeding under
          Section 8A of the Securities Act in connection with the offering of the Placement Shares; and it will promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such a stop order
          should be issued.  Until such time as any stop order is lifted, the Sales Agent shall cease making offers and sales under this Agreement.

       

      (c)          Delivery of Prospectus; Subsequent Changes.  During any period in which a Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares is required to be delivered by
          the Sales Agent under the Securities Act with respect to a pending sale of the Placement Shares (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 under the Securities Act), the Company will comply with all
          requirements imposed upon it by the Securities Act, as from time to time in force, and to file on or before their respective due dates all reports and any definitive proxy or information statements required to be filed by the Company with the
          Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, 15(d) or any other provision of or under the Exchange Act.  If during such period any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue
          statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then existing, not misleading, or if during such period it is necessary to amend or supplement the
          Registration Statement or Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act, the Company will promptly notify the Sales Agent to suspend the offering of Placement Shares during such period and the Company will promptly

       

      
        
          

        

        19

        
          


        

      

      

      

      amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus (at the expense of the Company) so as to correct such statement or omission or effect such
        compliance.

       

      (d)          Listing of Placement Shares.  During any period in which the Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares is required to be delivered by the Sales Agent
          under the Securities Act with respect to a pending sale of the Placement Shares (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 under the Securities Act), the Company will use its commercially reasonable
          efforts to cause the Placement Shares to be listed on the Exchange and to qualify the Placement Shares for sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions as the Sales Agent reasonably designates and to continue such qualifications in effect
          so long as required for the distribution of the Placement Shares; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith to qualify as a foreign corporation or dealer in securities or file a general consent to service of process in any
          jurisdiction.

       

      (e)          Delivery of Registration Statement and Prospectus.  The Company will furnish to the Sales Agent and its counsel (at the expense of the Company) copies
          of (i) the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (including all documents incorporated by reference therein) filed with the Commission on the date of this Agreement and (ii) all amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement or
          Prospectus that are filed with the Commission during any period in which a Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares is required to be delivered by the Sales Agent under the Securities Act (including all documents filed with the Commission
          during such period that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein), in each case as soon as reasonably practicable and in such quantities as the Sales Agent may from time to time reasonably request and, at the Sales Agent’s request, will
          also furnish copies of the Prospectus to each exchange or market on which sales of the Placement Shares may be made; provided, however,
          that the Company shall not be required to furnish any document (other than the Prospectus) to the Sales Agent to the extent such document is available on EDGAR.

       

      (f)          Earnings Statement.  The Company will make generally available to its security holders as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than 15
          months after the end of the Company’s current fiscal quarter, an earnings statement of the Company and its subsidiaries (which need not be audited) covering a 12-month period that complies with Section 11(a) and Rule 158 of the Securities Act. 
          The terms “earnings statement” and “make generally available to its security holders” shall have the meanings set forth in Rule 158 under the Securities Act.

       

      (g)          Expenses.  The Company, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereunder are consummated or this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the
          provisions of Section 11 hereunder, will pay the following expenses all incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder, including, but
          not limited to, expenses relating to (i) the preparation, printing and filing of the Registration Statement and each amendment and supplement thereto, of each Prospectus and of each amendment and supplement thereto, (ii) the preparation, issuance
          and delivery of the Placement Shares, including any stock or other transfer taxes and any stamp or other duties payable upon the sale, issuance or delivery of the Placement Shares to the Sales Agent, (iii) the fees and disbursements of the
          counsel, accountants and other advisors to the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (iv) the qualification of the Placement Shares under securities laws in accordance with the provisions of Section 7(d) of this

       

      
        
          

        

        20

        
          


        

      

      

      

      Agreement, including filing fees (provided, however, that any fees or disbursements of counsel for the Sales Agent in connection therewith shall be paid by the Sales Agent except as set forth
        in (ix) below), (v) the printing and delivery to the Sales Agent of copies of the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto, and of this Agreement, (vi) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing or qualification of
        the Placement Shares for trading on the Exchange, (vii) the fees and expenses of the transfer agent or registrar for the Common Stock; and (viii) the Company shall reimburse the Sales Agent for (a) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses for legal
        fees incident to the performance of the obligations of the Sales Agent under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of the Sales Agent’s outside attorneys); provided that, excluding expenses related to Blue Sky and
        FINRA filings, such costs and expenses shall not exceed $50,000 in connection with the establishment of this at-the-market offering and the filing of the related prospectus supplement, and (b) thereafter, an additional amount of up to a maximum of
        $4,000 per quarter for expenses associated with ongoing due diligence conducted during the term of this Agreement.

       

      (h)          Use of Proceeds.  The Company will use the Net Proceeds as described in the Prospectus in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds.”

       

      (i)          Notice of Other Sales.  During the pendency of any Placement Notice given hereunder, the Company shall provide the Sales Agent notice as promptly as
          reasonably possible before it offers to sell, contracts to sell, sells, grants any option to sell or otherwise disposes of any shares of Common Stock (other than Placement Shares offered pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement) or securities
          convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, warrants or any rights to purchase or acquire Common Stock; provided, that such
          notice shall not be required in connection with the (i) issuance, grant or sale of Common Stock, options or other rights to purchase or otherwise acquire Common Stock, or Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of options or other equity awards,
          in each case granted pursuant to any stock option, stock bonus or other stock or compensatory plan or arrangement, whether now in effect or hereafter implemented, (ii) issuance of securities in connection with an acquisition, merger or sale or
          purchase of assets which is described at the time of issuance in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, (iii) issuance or sale of Common Stock upon conversion of securities or the exercise of warrants, options or other rights then in
          effect or outstanding, and disclosed in filings by the Company available on EDGAR or otherwise in writing to the Sales Agent, and (iv) issuance or sale of Common Stock pursuant to any dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan that the Company
          has in effect or may adopt from time to time, provided that the implementation of such new plan is disclosed to the Sales Agent in
          advance. If the Company notifies the Sales Agent under this Section 7(i) of a proposed sale of shares of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents,
          the Sales Agent may suspend any offers and sales of Securities under this Agreement for a period of time deemed appropriate by the Sales Agent.

       

      (j)          Change of Circumstances.  The Company will, at any time during a fiscal quarter in which the Company intends to tender a Placement Notice or sell
          Placement Shares, advise the Sales Agent promptly after it shall have received notice or obtained knowledge thereof, of any information or fact that would alter or affect in any material respect any opinion, certificate, letter or other document
          provided to the Sales Agent pursuant to this Agreement.

       

      
        
          

        

        21

        
          


        

      

      

      

      (k)          Due Diligence Cooperation.  The Company will cooperate with any reasonable due diligence review conducted by the Sales Agent or its agents in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby,
          including, without limitation, providing information and making available documents and senior corporate officers, during regular business hours and at the Company’s principal offices, as the Sales Agent may reasonably request.

       

      (l)          Required Filings Relating to Placement of Placement Shares.  The Company shall set forth in each Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on
          Form 10-Q filed by the Company with the Commission in respect of any quarter in which sales of Placement Shares were made by or through the Sales Agent under this Agreement, with regard to the relevant period, the amount of Placement Shares sold
          to or through the Sales Agent, the Net Proceeds to the Company and the compensation payable by the Company to the Sales Agent with respect to such sales of Placement Shares.  To the extent that the filing of a prospectus supplement to the
          Prospectus with the Commission with respect to any sales of Placement Shares becomes required under Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, the Company agrees that, on or before such dates as the Securities Act shall require, the Company will
          (i) file a prospectus supplement to the Prospectus with the Commission under the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, which prospectus supplement will set forth, with regard to the relevant period, the amount of Placement
          Shares sold to or through the Sales Agent, the Net Proceeds to the Company and the compensation payable by the Company to the Sales Agent with respect to such Placement Shares, and (ii) deliver such number of copies of each such prospectus
          supplement to each exchange or market on which such sales were effected as may be required by the rules or regulations of such exchange or market.  The Company shall afford the Sales Agent and its counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review
          and comment upon, shall consult with the Sales Agent and its counsel on the form and substance of, and shall give due consideration to all such comments from the Sales Agent or its counsel on, any such filing prior to the issuance, filing or
          public disclosure thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to submit for review (A) any portion of any periodic reports filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act other than the specific disclosure relating to any
          sales of Placement Shares and (B) any disclosure contained in periodic reports filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act if it shall have previously provided the same disclosure for review in connection with a previous filing.

       

      (m)          Representation Dates; Certificate.  On or prior to the date the first Placement Notice is given hereunder and each time the Company subsequently
          thereafter (i) amends or supplements the Registration Statement or the Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares (other than (A) a prospectus supplement filed in accordance with Section 7(l) of this Agreement or (B) a supplement or amendment that relates to an offering of securities other than the Placement Shares) by means of a post-effective amendment, sticker, or supplement
          but not by means of incorporation of document(s) by reference to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares; (ii) files an annual report on Form 10-K under the Exchange Act (including any Form 10-K/A containing
          amended financial information or a material amendment to the previously filed Form 10-K); (iii) files a quarterly report on Form 10-Q under the Exchange Act; (iv) files a report on Form 8-K containing amended financial information (other than an
          earnings release, to “furnish” information pursuant to Items 2.02 or 7.01 of Form 8-K or to provide disclosure pursuant to Item 8.01 of Form 8-K relating to the reclassification of certain properties as discontinued operations in accordance with
          Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144) under the Exchange Act; or (v) sells Placement Shares to the Sales Agent as principal

      at the Point of Sale pursuant to the applicable Placement Notice (each date of filing of one or more of the documents and each other date referred to in
        clauses (i) through (v) shall be a “Representation Date”), the Company shall furnish the Sales Agent within three (3) Trading Days
        after each Representation Date with a certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 7(m).  The requirement to provide a certificate under this
        Section 7(m) shall be waived for any Representation Date occurring at a time at which no Placement Notice is pending, which waiver shall continue
        until the earlier to occur of the date the Company delivers a Placement Notice hereunder (which for such calendar quarter shall be considered a Representation Date) and the next occurring Representation Date; provided, however, that such waiver shall not apply
        for any Representation Date on which the Company files its annual report on Form 10-K.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company subsequently decides to sell Placement Shares following a Representation Date when the Company relied on such
        waiver and did not provide the Sales Agent with a certificate under this Section 7(m), then before the Company delivers the Placement Notice or the
        Sales Agent sells any Placement Shares, the Company shall provide the Sales Agent with a certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 7(m),
        dated the date of the Placement Notice.

       

      (n)          Legal Opinion.  On or prior to the date the first Placement Notice is given hereunder, the Company shall cause to be furnished to the Sales Agent (i)
          the written opinions and negative assurance of Stevens & Lee, P.C., counsel to the Company, or other counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Sales Agent (“Company Counsel”), and (ii) the written opinion of Gottlieb, Rackman & Reisman, P.C., intellectual property counsel to the Company, or other counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Sales Agent (“Company IP Counsel”), in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Sales Agent.  Thereafter, within three (3)
          Trading Days after each Representation Date with respect to which the Company is obligated to deliver a certificate pursuant to Section 7(m) for
          which no waiver is applicable pursuant to Section 7(m), and not more than once per calendar quarter, the Company shall cause to be furnished to
          the Sales Agent the written opinions and negative assurance of Company Counsel and Company IP Counsel substantially in the form previously agreed between the Company and the Sales Agent, modified, as necessary, to relate to the Registration
          Statement and the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented; provided, however, that if Company Counsel or Company IP Counsel has previously furnished to the Sales Agent such written opinions and negative assurance substantially in the form previously agreed
          between the Company and the Sales Agent, such counsel may, in respect of any future Representation Date, furnish the Sales Agent with a letter (a “Reliance Letter”) in lieu of such opinions and negative assurance to the effect that the Sales Agent may rely on the prior opinions and negative assurance of such counsel delivered pursuant to this Section 7(n) to the same extent as if it were dated the date of such Reliance Letter (except that statements in such prior opinion shall be deemed to relate to the
          Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to the date of such Reliance Letter).

       

      (o)          Comfort Letter.  On or prior to the date the first Placement Notice is given hereunder and within three (3) Trading Days after each subsequent
          Representation Date with respect to which the Company is obligated to deliver a certificate pursuant to Section 7(m) for which no waiver is
          applicable pursuant to Section 7(m), the Company shall cause its independent accountants to furnish the Sales Agent letters (the “Comfort Letters”), dated the date that the Comfort Letter is delivered, in form and substance satisfactory to the Sales Agent,
          (i) confirming that they are an independent registered public accounting firm within the meaning of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the

       

      
        
          

        

        23

        
          


        

      

      

      

      PCAOB and are in compliance with the applicable requirements relating to the qualification of accountants under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X of the
        Commission, (ii) stating, as of such date, the conclusions and findings of such firm with respect to the financial information and other matters ordinarily covered by accountants’ “comfort letters” to the Sales Agent in connection with registered
        public offerings (the first such letter, the “Initial Comfort Letter”) and (iii) updating the Initial Comfort Letter with any information
        that would have been included in the Initial Comfort Letter had it been given on such date and modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as amended and supplemented to the date of such letter.

       

      (p)          Market Activities.  The Company will not, directly or indirectly, (i) take any action designed to cause or result in, or that constitutes or might
          reasonably be expected to constitute, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Common Stock or (ii) sell, bid for, or purchase the Placement Shares to be issued and sold
          pursuant to this Agreement, or pay anyone any compensation for soliciting purchases of the Placement Shares other than the Sales Agent.

       

      (q)          Insurance.  The Company and its subsidiaries shall maintain, or caused to be maintained, insurance in such amounts and covering such risks as is
          reasonable and customary for the business in which it is engaged.

       

      (r)          Compliance with Laws.  The Company and each of its subsidiaries shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, all material environmental permits, licenses
          and other authorizations required by federal, state and local law in order to conduct their businesses as described in the Prospectus, and the Company and each of its subsidiaries shall conduct their businesses, or cause their businesses to be
          conducted, in substantial compliance with such permits, licenses and authorizations and with applicable environmental laws, except where the failure to maintain or be in compliance with such permits, licenses and authorizations could not
          reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

       

      (s)          Investment Company Act.  The Company will conduct its affairs in such a manner so as to reasonably ensure that neither it nor its subsidiaries is or,
          after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Placement Shares and the application of proceeds therefrom as described in the Prospectus, will be, an “investment company” within the meaning of such term under the Investment Company Act.

       

      (t)          Securities Act and Exchange Act.  The Company will use its best efforts to comply with all requirements imposed upon it by the Securities Act and the
          Exchange Act as from time to time in force, so far as necessary to permit the continuance of sales of, or dealings in, the Placement Shares as contemplated by the provisions hereof and the Prospectus.

       

      (u)          No Offer to Sell.  Other than the Prospectus, neither the Sales Agent nor the Company (including its agents and representatives, other than the Sales
          Agent in its capacity as such) will make, use, prepare, authorize, approve or refer to any written communication (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act), required to be filed with the Commission, that constitutes an offer to sell or
          solicitation of an offer to buy Placement Shares hereunder.

       

      
        
          

        

        24

        
          


        

      

      

      

      (v)          Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  The Company and its subsidiaries will use their best efforts to comply with all effective applicable provisions of the
          Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

       

      (w)          New Registration Statement.  If immediately prior to the third anniversary of the initial effective date of the Registration Statement, any of the
          Placement Shares remain unsold, the sale of the Placement Shares under this Agreement shall automatically be suspended unless and until the Company files a new shelf registration statement relating to the Placement Shares and such new
          registration statement is declared effective by the Commission.  References herein to the Registration Statement shall include such new shelf registration statement.  If any such new shelf registration statement becomes effective prior to the
          termination date of this Agreement, the Company agrees to notify the Sales Agent of such effective date.

       

      8.          Conditions to the Sales Agent’s Obligations.  The obligations of the Sales Agent hereunder with respect to a Placement will be subject to the
          continuing accuracy and completeness of the representations and warranties made by the Company herein, to the due performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder, to the completion by the Sales Agent of a due diligence review satisfactory
          to the Sales Agent in its reasonable judgment, and to the continuing satisfaction (or waiver by the Sales Agent in its sole discretion) of the following additional conditions:

       

      (a)          Registration Statement Effective.  The Registration Statement shall be effective and shall be available for the sale of all Placement Shares
          contemplated to be issued by any Placement Notice.

       

      (b)          Securities Act Filings Made.  The Company shall have filed with the Commission the ATM Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act
          within the applicable time period prescribed for such filing by Rule 424(b) (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8) of the Securities Act). All other filings with the Commission required by Rule 424 under the Securities Act to have been filed prior
          to the issuance of any Placement Notice hereunder shall have been made within the applicable time period prescribed for such filing by Rule 424.

       

      (c)          No Material Notices.  None of the following events shall have occurred and be continuing:  (i) receipt by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any
          request for additional information from the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the response to which would require any post-effective amendments or
          supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus; (ii) the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation
          of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Placement Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the
          initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; (iv) the occurrence of any event that makes any material statement made in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any material document incorporated or deemed to be
          incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement, related Prospectus or such documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not
          contain any materially untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and, that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain
          any materially untrue statement of a material fact or omit to

       

      
        
          

        

        25

        
          


        

      

      

      

      state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
        were made, not misleading.

       

      (d)          No Misstatement or Material Omission.  The Sales Agent shall not have advised the Company that the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any
          amendment or supplement thereto, contains an untrue statement of fact that in the Sales Agent’s reasonable opinion is material, or omits to state a fact that in the Sales Agent’s reasonable opinion is material and is required to be stated therein
          or is necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

       

      (e)          Material Changes.  Except as contemplated in the Prospectus, or disclosed in the Company’s reports filed with the Commission, there shall not have been
          any material adverse change in the authorized capital stock of the Company or any Material Adverse Change or any development that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change, or any downgrading in or withdrawal of the
          rating assigned to any of the Company’s securities (other than asset backed securities) by any rating organization or a public announcement by any rating organization that it has under surveillance or review its rating of any of the Company’s
          securities (other than asset backed securities), the effect of which, in the case of any such action by a rating organization described above, in the reasonable judgment of the Sales Agent (without relieving the Company of any obligation or
          liability it may otherwise have), is so material as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering of the Placement Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement and the Prospectus.

       

      (f)          Company Counsel Legal Opinion.  The Sales Agent shall have received the opinions and negative assurances of Company Counsel required to be delivered
          pursuant Section 7(n) on or before the date on which such delivery of such opinions and negative assurances is required pursuant to Section 7(n).

       

      (g)          Company IP Counsel Legal Opinion.  The Sales Agent shall have received the opinions and negative assurances of Company IP Counsel required to be
          delivered pursuant Section 7(n) on or before the date on which such delivery of such opinions and negative assurances is required pursuant to Section 7(n).

       

      (h)          Sales Agent Counsel Legal Opinion.  The Sales Agent shall have received from Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C., counsel to the Sales
          Agent, on or before the date on which the delivery of the Company Counsel legal opinion is required pursuant to Section 7(n), such opinions and
          negative assurances with respect to such matters as the Sales Agent may reasonably require, and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they request for enabling them to pass upon such matters.

       

      (i)          Comfort Letter.  The Sales Agent shall have received the Comfort Letter required to be delivered pursuant Section 7(o) on or before the date on which such delivery of such Comfort Letter is required pursuant to Section 7(o).

       

      (j)          Representation Certificate.  The Sales Agent shall have received the certificate required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7(m) on or before the date on which delivery of such certificate is required pursuant to Section 7(m).

       

      
        
          

        

        26

        
          


        

      

      

      

      (k)          Secretary’s Certificate.  On or prior to the date the first Placement Notice is given hereunder, the Sales Agent shall have received a certificate,
          signed on behalf of the Company by its corporate Secretary, certifying as to (i) the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, (ii) the By-laws of the Company, (iii) the resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company (or a committee
          thereof) authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the issuance of the Placement Shares and (iv) the incumbency of the officers duly authorized to execute this Agreement and the other documents contemplated by this
          Agreement.

       

      (l)          No Suspension.  Trading in the Common Stock shall not have been suspended on the Exchange and the Common Stock shall not have been delisted from the
          Exchange.

       

      (m)          Other Materials.  On each date on which the Company is required to deliver a certificate pursuant to Section 7(m), the Company shall have furnished to the Sales Agent such appropriate further opinions, certificates, letters and documents as the Sales Agent may have reasonably requested. 
          All such opinions, certificates, letters and other documents shall have been in compliance with the provisions hereof.  The Company will furnish the Sales Agent with such conformed copies of such opinions, certificates, letters and other
          documents as the Sales Agent shall have reasonably requested.

       

      (n)          Approval for Listing.  The Placement Shares shall have been approved for listing on the Exchange, subject only to notice of issuance.

       

      (o)          No Termination Event.  There shall not have occurred any event that would permit the Sales Agent to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11(a).

       

      (p)          FINRA.  The Sales Agent shall have received a letter from the Corporate Financing Department of FINRA confirming that such department has determined to
          raise no objection with respect to the fairness or reasonableness of the terms and arrangements related to the sale of the Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement.

       

      9.          Indemnification and Contribution.

       

      (a)          Company Indemnification.  The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Sales Agent, the directors, officers, members, partners, employees and
          agents of the Sales Agent each broker dealer affiliate of the Sales Agent, and each the Sales Agent Affiliate, if any, from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages (including, but not limited to, any and all
          reasonable investigative, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any and all amounts paid in settlement (in accordance with Section 9(c))
          of, any action, suit or proceeding between any of the indemnified parties and any indemnifying parties or between any indemnified party and any third party, or otherwise, or any claim asserted), as and when incurred, to which the Sales Agent, or
          any such person, may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, liabilities, expenses or damages arise out of or are
          based, directly or indirectly, on (x) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or in any free writing prospectus or in any
          application or other document executed by or on behalf of the Company or based on written information furnished by or on behalf of the Company filed in any

       

      
        
          

        

        27

        
          


        

      

      

      

      jurisdiction in order to qualify the Common Stock under the securities laws thereof or filed with the Commission, (y) the omission or alleged omission to
        state in any such document a material fact required to be stated in it or necessary to make the statements in it not misleading or (z) any breach by any of the indemnifying parties of any of their respective representations, warranties and
        agreements contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to the extent that such loss,
        claim, liability, expense or damage arises from the sale of the Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement and is caused directly by an untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in strict conformity with written information relating
        to the Sales Agent and furnished to the Company by the Sales Agent expressly for inclusion in any document as described in clause (x) of this Section 9(a). 
        This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company might otherwise have.

       

      (b)          The Sales Agent Indemnification.  The Sales Agent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors and each officer of the Company
          that signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who (i) controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act or (ii) is controlled by or is under common control with the
          Company (each, a “Company Affiliate”) from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages (including,
          but not limited to, any and all reasonable investigative, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any and all amounts paid in settlement (in accordance with Section 9(c)) of, any action, suit or proceeding between any of the indemnified parties and any indemnifying parties or between any indemnified party and any third party, or otherwise, or any claim
          asserted), as and when incurred, to which any such Company Affiliate, may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
          liabilities, expenses or damages arise out of or are based, directly or indirectly, on (x) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any amendment or
          supplement thereto, or (y) the omission or alleged omission to state in any such document a material fact required to be stated in it or necessary to make the statements in it not misleading; provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall apply
          only to the extent that such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage is caused directly by an untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in strict conformity with written information relating to the Sales Agent and furnished to the
          Company by the Sales Agent expressly for inclusion in any document as described in clause (x) of this Section 9(b), which the Company acknowledges
          consists solely of the material referred to in Schedule 5 hereto, as updated from time to time.

       

      (c)          Procedure.  Any party that proposes to assert the right to be indemnified under this Section 9 will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party or parties under this Section 9, notify each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action, enclosing a copy of all papers served, but the omission so to notify
          such indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from (i) any liability that it might have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 9
          and (ii) any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under the foregoing provision of this Section 9 unless, and only to the extent
          that, such omission results in the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party.  If any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of its commencement, the indemnifying
          party will be entitled to participate in and, to

       

      
        
          

        

        28

        
          


        

      

      

      

      the extent that it elects by delivering written notice to the indemnified party promptly after receiving notice of the commencement of the action from
        the indemnified party, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense of the action, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified
        party of its election to assume the defense, the indemnifying party will not be liable to the indemnified party for any legal or other expenses except as provided below and except for the reasonable costs of investigation subsequently incurred by
        the indemnified party in connection with the defense.  The indemnified party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel will be at the expense of such indemnified party
        unless (1) the employment of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (2) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it
        or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, (3) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified party and
        the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party) or (4) the indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of
        such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel will be at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties.  It
        is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm
        admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time for all such indemnified party or parties.  All such fees, disbursements and other charges will be reimbursed by the indemnifying party promptly as they are incurred.  An indemnifying party
        will not, in any event, be liable for any settlement of any action or claim effected without its written consent.  No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of each indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the
        entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to the matters contemplated by this Section 9 (whether or
        not any indemnified party is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising or that may arise out of such claim, action or proceeding.

       

      (d)          Contribution.  In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in the foregoing
          paragraphs of this Section 9 is applicable in accordance with its terms but for any reason is held to be unavailable from the Company or the Sales
          Agent, the Company and the Sales Agent will contribute to the total losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages (including any investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement
          of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted, but after deducting any contribution received by the Company from persons other than the Sales Agent, such as persons who control the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act,
          officers of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and directors of the Company, who also may be liable for contribution) to which the Company and the Sales Agent may be subject in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the
          relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Sales Agent on the other.  The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Sales Agent on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the
          total Net Proceeds from the sale of the Placement Shares (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total compensation received by

       

      
        
          

        

        29

        
          


        

      

      

      

      the Sales Agent from the sale of Placement Shares on behalf of the Company.  If, but only if, the allocation provided by the foregoing sentence is not
        permitted by applicable law, the allocation of contribution shall be made in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in the foregoing sentence but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one
        hand, and the Sales Agent, on the other, with respect to the statements or omission that resulted in such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations with respect
        to such offering.  Such relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
        supplied by the Company or the Sales Agent, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  The Company and the Sales Agent agree that it would not be
        just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 9(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that
        does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein.  The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, liability, expense, or damage, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 9(d) shall be deemed to include, for the purpose of this Section 9(d),
        any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim to the extent consistent with Section 9(c) hereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9(d), the Sales Agent shall not be required to
        contribute any amount in excess of the commissions received by it under this Agreement and no person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any
        person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  For purposes of this Section 9(d), any person who controls a party to this Agreement within
        the meaning of the Securities Act will have the same rights to contribution as that party (and any officers, directors, members, partners, employees or agents of the Sales Agent and each broker dealer affiliate of the Sales Agent will have the same
        rights to contribution as the Sales Agent), and each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company will have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the provisions
        hereof.  Any party entitled to contribution, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made under this Section 9(d), will notify any such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify will not relieve that party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any
        other obligation it or they may have under this Section 9(d) except to the extent that the failure to so notify such other party materially prejudiced the
        substantive rights or defenses of the party from whom contribution is sought.  Except for a settlement entered into pursuant to the last sentence of Section 9(c)
        hereof, no party will be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its written consent if such consent is required pursuant to Section 9(c)
        hereof.

       

      10.          Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery.  The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in Section 9 of this Agreement and all representations and warranties of the Company herein or in certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive, as of their respective dates,
          regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Sales Agent, any controlling person of the Sales Agent, or the Company (or any of their respective officers, directors, members or controlling persons), (ii) delivery and acceptance
          of the Placement Shares and payment therefor or (iii) any termination of this Agreement.

      11.          Termination.

       

      (a)          The
          Sales Agent shall have the right by giving notice as hereinafter specified at any time to terminate this Agreement if (i) any Material Adverse Change, or any development that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change has
          occurred that, in the reasonable judgment of the Sales Agent, may materially impair the ability of the Sales Agent to sell the Placement Shares hereunder, (ii) the Company shall have failed, refused or been unable to perform any agreement on its
          part to be performed hereunder; provided, however, in the case of any failure of the Company to deliver (or cause another person to deliver) any certification, opinion, or letter required under Sections 7(m), 7(n), or 7(o), the Sales Agent’s right to terminate shall not arise unless such failure to deliver (or cause to be delivered) continues for more than thirty (30) days from the date such delivery was required,
          (iii) any other condition of the Sales Agent’s obligations hereunder is not fulfilled, or (iv) any suspension or limitation of trading in the Placement Shares or in securities generally on the Exchange shall have occurred (including automatic
          halt in trading pursuant to market-decline triggers, other than those in which solely program trading is temporarily halted), or a major disruption of securities settlements or clearing services in the United States shall have occurred, or
          minimum prices for trading have been fixed on the Exchange.  Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 7(g) (Expenses), Section 9 (Indemnification and Contribution), Section 10 (Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery), Section 11(f),
          Section 16 (Applicable Law; Consent to Jurisdiction) and Section 17
          (Waiver of Jury Trial) hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.  If the Sales Agent elects to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 11(a), the Sales Agent shall provide the required notice as specified in Section 12 (Notices).

       

      (b)          The
          Company shall have the right, by giving ten (10) days’ notice as hereinafter specified in Section 12, to terminate this Agreement in its sole
          discretion at any time after the date of this Agreement.  Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 7(g), Section 9, Section 10, Section 11(f), Section 16 and Section 17 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

       

      (c)          The
          Sales Agent shall have the right, by giving ten (10) days’ notice as hereinafter specified in Section 12, to terminate this Agreement in its sole
          discretion at any time after the date of this Agreement.  Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 7(g), Section 9, Section 10, Section 11(f), Section 16 and Section 17 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

       

      (d)          Unless
          earlier terminated pursuant to this Section 11, this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the issuance and sale of all of the Placement
          Shares to or through the Sales Agent on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; provided that the provisions of Section 7(g), Section 9, Section 10, Section 11(f), Section 16 and Section 17 hereof shall remain in full force and effect
          notwithstanding such termination.

       

      (e)          This
          Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless terminated pursuant to Sections 11(a), (b), (c) or (d) above or otherwise by mutual agreement of the parties; provided, however, that any such termination by mutual agreement shall in all cases be deemed to provide that Section 7(g),

       

      
        
          

        

        31

        
          


        

      

      

      

      Section 9, Section 10, Section 11(f), Section 16 and Section 17 shall remain in full force and effect.

       

      (f)          Any
          termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in such notice of termination; provided, however, that such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by the Sales Agent
          or the Company, as the case may be.  If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date for any sale of Placement Shares, such termination shall not become effective until the close of business on such Settlement Date and such Placement
          Shares shall settle in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

       

      12.          Notices.  All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given by any party to any other party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement

      Each party may change such address for notices by sending to the other party to this Agreement written notice of a new address for
        such purpose.  Each such notice or other communication shall be deemed given (i) when delivered personally or by verifiable facsimile transmission (with an original to follow) on or before 4:30 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day or, if
        such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day, (ii) on the next Business Day after timely delivery to a nationally-recognized overnight courier and (iii) on the Business Day actually received if deposited in the U.S. mail
        (certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid).  For purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” shall mean any
        day on which the Exchange and commercial banks in the City of New York are open for business.

       

      An electronic communication (“Electronic

            Notice”) shall be deemed written notice for purposes of this Section 12 if sent to the electronic mail address specified by the receiving
        party under separate cover.  Electronic Notice shall be deemed received at the time the party sending Electronic Notice receives confirmation of receipt by the receiving party (other than pursuant to auto-reply).  Any party receiving Electronic
        Notice may request and shall be entitled to receive the notice on paper, in a nonelectronic form (“Nonelectronic Notice”) which shall be
        sent to the requesting party within ten (10) days of receipt of the written request for Nonelectronic Notice.

       

      13.          Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and the Sales Agent and their respective
          successors and permitted assigns and, as to Sections 5(b) and 9, the other indemnified parties specified therein.  References to any of the parties contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to include the successors and permitted assigns of such party.  Nothing in
          this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other person any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.  Neither party may assign its
          rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that the Sales Agent may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to an affiliate of the Sales Agent without obtaining the Company’s consent.

       

      14.          Adjustments for Share Splits.  The parties acknowledge and agree that all share-related numbers contained in this Agreement shall be adjusted to take
          into account any share split, share dividend or similar event effected with respect to the Common Stock.

       

      15.          Entire Agreement; Amendment; Severability.  This Agreement (including all schedules and exhibits attached hereto and Placement Notices issued pursuant
          hereto) and any other writing entered into by the parties relating to this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all other prior and contemporaneous agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto
          with regard to the subject matter hereof.  Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended except pursuant to a written instrument executed by the Company and the Sales Agent.  In the event that any one or more of the provisions
          contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable as written by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such provision shall be given full force and effect to the fullest possible extent
          that it is valid, legal and enforceable, and the remainder of the terms and provisions herein shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable term or provision was not contained herein, but only to the extent that giving effect to
          such provision and

       

      
        
          

        

        33

        
          


        

      

      

      

      the remainder of the terms and provisions hereof shall be in accordance with the intent of the parties as reflected in this Agreement.

       

      16.          Applicable Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New
          York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws.  Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the non-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 with any transaction contemplated hereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any
          such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.  Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being
          served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof (certified or registered mail, return receipt requested) 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 manner permitted by law.

       

      17.          Waiver of Jury Trial.  The Company and the Sales Agent each hereby irrevocably waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any claim
          based upon or arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby.

       

      18.          Absence of Fiduciary Relationship.  The Company acknowledges and agrees that:

       

      (a)          the
          Sales Agent is acting solely as agent in connection with the sale of the Placement Shares contemplated by this Agreement and the process leading to such transactions, and no fiduciary or advisory relationship between the Company or any of its
          respective affiliates, stockholders (or other equity holders), creditors or employees or any other party, on the one hand, and the Sales Agent, on the other hand, has been or will be created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by
          this Agreement, irrespective of whether the Sales Agent has advised or is advising the Company on other matters, and the Sales Agent has no obligation to the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except the
          obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement;

       

      (b)          the
          Company is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

       

      (c)          the
          Sales Agent has not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the Company has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it
          has deemed appropriate;

       

      (d)          the
          Company has been advised and is aware that the Sales Agent and its affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions which may involve interests that differ from those of the Company and that the Sales Agent has no obligation to disclose
          such interests and transactions to the Company by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship; and

       

      (e)          the
          Company waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against the Sales Agent, for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agrees that the Sales

       

      
        
          

        

        34

        
          


        

      

      

      

      Agent shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to the Company in respect of such a fiduciary claim or to any
        person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of the Company, including stockholders, partners, employees or creditors of the Company.

       

      19.          Use of Information.  The Sales Agent may not provide any information gained in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this
          Agreement, including due diligence, to any third party other than its legal counsel advising it on this Agreement unless expressly approved by the Company in writing.

       

      20.          Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall
          constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of an executed Agreement by one party to the other may be made by facsimile transmission.

       

      21.          Effect of Headings; Knowledge of the Company.  The section and Exhibit headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction
          hereof.  All references in this Agreement to the “knowledge of the Company” or the “Company’s knowledge” or similar qualifiers shall mean the actual knowledge of the directors and officers of the Company, after due inquiry.

       

      22.          Definitions.  As used in this Agreement, the following term has the meaning set forth below:

       

      (a)          “Applicable Time” means the date of this Agreement, each Representation Date, each date on which a Placement Notice is given, each
          Point of Sale, and each Settlement Date.
