contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured or (iii) the Company and its Subsidiaries intend
to incur or believe that they will incur debts that would be beyond their ability to pay as such debts mature; and (II) with respect

(as the case may be) assets is less than the amount required to pay its respective total Indebtedness, (ii) the Company or such
Subsidiary (as the case may be) is unable to pay its respective debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as
such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured or (iii) the Company or such Subsidiary (as the case may be) intends to
incur or believes that it will incur debts that would be beyond its respective ability to pay as such debts mature. Neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in any business or in any transaction, and is not about to engage in any business
or in any transaction, for which the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s remaining assets constitute unreasonably small
capital.


 


(j)          No
Undisclosed Events, Liabilities, Developments or Circumstances. No event, liability, development or circumstance has occurred
or exists, or is reasonably expected to exist or occur with respect to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
businesses, properties, liabilities, prospects, operations (including results thereof) or condition (financial or otherwise), that
(i) would be required to be disclosed by the Company under applicable securities laws on a registration statement on Form S-1 filed
with the SEC relating to an issuance and sale by the Company of its Common Stock and which has not been publicly announced, (ii)

certificate of incorporation or bylaws, respectively. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any judgment,
decree or order or any statute, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will conduct its business in violation of any of the foregoing, except in all cases for
possible violations which could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Company is not in violation of any of the rules, regulations or requirements of the Principal Market and
has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances that could reasonably lead to delisting or suspension of the Common Stock by the
Principal Market in the foreseeable future. Since January 1, 2010, (i) the Common Stock has been listed or designated for quotation
on the Principal Market, (ii) trading in the Common Stock has not been suspended by the SEC or the Principal Market and (iii) the
Company has received no communication, written or oral, from the SEC or the Principal Market regarding the suspension or delisting
of the Common Stock from the Principal Market. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations
and permits issued by the appropriate regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses, except where the
failure to possess such certificates, authorizations or permits would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse

(o)          Litigation.
There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by the Principal Market, any court, public board, other
Governmental Entity, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Common Stock or any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ officers or directors
which is outside of the ordinary course of business or individually or in the aggregate material to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
No director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries has willfully violated 18 U.S.C. §1519 or engaged
in spoliation in reasonable anticipation of litigation. Without limitation of the foregoing, there has not been, and to the knowledge
of the Company, there is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the SEC involving the Company, any of its Subsidiaries
or any current or former director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The SEC has not issued any stop order or
other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act.


 


(p)          Insurance.
The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and
risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company
and its Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought or
applied for, and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will be unable to renew its existing
insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to
continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(q)          Employee
Relations. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any collective bargaining agreement or employs any
member of a union. The Company believes that its and its Subsidiaries’ relations with their respective employees are good.
No executive officer (as defined in Rule 501(f) promulgated under the 1933 Act) or other key employee of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries has notified the Company or any such Subsidiary that such officer intends to leave the Company or any such Subsidiary
or otherwise terminate such officer’s employment with the Company or any such Subsidiary. No executive officer or other key
employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment
contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other contract or
agreement or any restrictive covenant, and the continued employment of each such executive officer or other key employee (as the
case may be) does not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters.
The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting labor,
employment and employment practices and benefits, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where failure
to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.


 


(r)          Title.
The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property and have good and marketable
title to all personal property owned by them which is material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case,
free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects except such as do not materially affect the value of such property and do
not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries or as listed
on Schedule 3(w) hereto or with respect to the Machinery and Equipment Loan set forth in Schedule 3(r) hereto. Any real property
and facilities held under lease by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable
leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property
and buildings by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.


 


(s)          Intellectual
Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess adequate rights or licenses to use all trademarks, trade names,
service marks, service mark registrations, service names, patents, patent rights, copyrights, original works, inventions, licenses,
approvals, governmental authorizations, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights and all applications and registrations
therefor (“Intellectual Property Rights”) necessary to conduct their respective businesses as now conducted
and as presently proposed to be conducted. None of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ Intellectual Property Rights
have expired, terminated or been abandoned, or are expected to expire, terminate or be abandoned, within three years from the date
of this Agreement, except to the extent of Intellectual Property Rights no longer considered necessary for the operation of this
business. The Company has no knowledge of any infringement by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Intellectual Property Rights
of others. There is no material claim, action or proceeding being made or brought, or to the knowledge of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries, being threatened, against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries regarding their Intellectual Property Rights.
The Company is not aware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing infringements or claims, actions
or proceedings. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality
and value of all of their Intellectual Property Rights.


 




    	11



    	 



    

 


(t)          Environmental
Laws. The Company and its Subsidiaries (i) are in compliance with all Environmental Laws (as defined below), (ii) have received
all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses
and (iii) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval where, in each of the foregoing
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the failure to so comply could be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a
Material Adverse Effect. The term “Environmental Laws” means all federal, state, local or foreign laws relating
to pollution or protection of human health or the environment (including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater,
land surface or subsurface strata), including, without limitation, laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened
releases of chemicals, pollutants, contaminants, or toxic or hazardous substances or wastes (collectively, “Hazardous
Materials”) into the environment, or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment,
storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials, as well as all authorizations, codes, decrees, demands or demand
letters, injunctions, judgments, licenses, notices or notice letters, orders, permits, plans or regulations issued, entered, promulgated
or approved thereunder.


 


(u)          Subsidiary
Rights. The Company or one of its Subsidiaries has the unrestricted right to vote, and (subject to limitations imposed by applicable
law) to receive dividends and distributions on, all capital securities of its Subsidiaries as owned by the Company or such Subsidiary.


 


(v)          Tax
Status. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries (i) has timely made or filed all foreign, federal and state income and all
other tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has timely paid all taxes
and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports
and declarations, except those being contested in good faith and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate
for the payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There
are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the
Company and its Subsidiaries know of no basis for any such claim. The Company is not operated in such a manner as to qualify as
a passive foreign investment company, as defined in Section 1297 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.


 


(w)          Internal
Accounting and Disclosure Controls. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintains internal control over financial reporting
(as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the 1934 Act) that is effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, including that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific
authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset and liability accountability, (iii) access to assets or incurrence of liabilities
is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability
for assets and liabilities is compared with the existing assets and liabilities at reasonable intervals and appropriate action
is taken with respect to any difference. The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule
13a-15(e) under the 1934 Act) that are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports
that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified
in the rules and forms of the SEC, including, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required
to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is accumulated and communicated to the
Company’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and its principal financial officer or officers,
as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received
any notice or correspondence from any accountant or other Person relating to any potential material weakness or significant deficiency
in any part of the internal controls over financial reporting of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.


 




    	12



    	 



    

 


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


 


(y)          Investment
Company Status. The Company is not, and upon consummation of the sale of the Securities will not be, an “investment company,”
an affiliate of an “investment company,” a company controlled by an “investment company” or an “affiliated
person” of, or “promoter” or “principal underwriter” for, an “investment company” as
such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.


 


4.           [INTENTIONALLY
OMITTED]


 


5.           REGISTER;
LEGEND.


 


(a)          Register.
The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate
by notice to each holder of Securities), a register for the Notes and the Warrants in which the Company shall record the name and
address of the Person in whose name the Notes and the Warrants have been issued (including the name and address of each
transferee), the principal amount of the Notes held by such Person, the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of
the Notes, the number of Interest Shares issuable with respect to the Notes and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise
of the Warrants held by such Person. The Company shall keep the register open and available at all times during business hours
for inspection of any Buyer or its legal representatives upon reasonable prior notice.


 


(b)          Legends.
Each Buyer understands that the Securities have been issued (or will be issued in the case of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant
Shares) pursuant to an exemption from registration or qualification under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, and
except as set forth below, the Securities shall bear any legend as required by the “blue sky” laws of any state and
a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock
certificates):

[NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE
OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE [CONVERTIBLE] [EXERCISABLE]
HAVE BEEN][THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN] REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED,
OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE
OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER (IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY), IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED
UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD OR ELIGIBLE TO BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE
FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED
BY THE SECURITIES.


 


6.           CONDITIONS
TO THE COMPANY’S OBLIGATION TO SELL.


 


(a)          The
obligation of the Company hereunder to issue and sell the Notes and the related Warrants to each Buyer at the Closing is
subject to the satisfaction, at or before the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions, provided that these conditions
are for the Company’s sole benefit and may be waived by the Company at any time in its sole discretion by providing each
Buyer with prior written notice thereof:


 


(i)          Such
Buyer shall have executed each of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and delivered the same to the Company.


 


(ii)         Such
Buyer and each other Buyer shall have delivered to the Purchase Price for the Note and the related Warrants being purchased by
such Buyer at the Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds.


 


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


 


7.           CONDITIONS
TO EACH BUYER’S OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE.


 


(a)          The
obligation of each Buyer hereunder to purchase its Note and its related Warrants at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction,
at or before the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions, provided that these conditions are for each Buyer’s sole
benefit and may be waived by such Buyer at any time in its sole discretion by providing the Company with prior written notice thereof:


 




    	14



    	 



    

 


(i)          The
Company and each Subsidiary (as the case may be) shall have duly executed and delivered to such Buyer each of the Transaction Documents
to which it is a party and the Company shall have duly executed and delivered to such Buyer a Note (in such original principal
amount as is set forth across from such Buyer’s name in column (3) of the Schedule of Buyers) together with the related Warrants
(initially for such aggregate number of shares of Warrant Shares as is set forth across from such Buyer’s name in column
(4) of the Schedule of Buyers, respectively) being purchased by such Buyer at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement.


 


(ii)         Each
and every representation and warranty of the Company shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date when made
and as of the Closing Date as though originally made at that time (except for representations and warranties that speak as of a
specific date, which shall be true and correct as of such specific date) and the Company shall have performed, satisfied and complied
in all respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions required to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Company
at or prior to the Closing Date.


 


8.           TERMINATION.


 


In the event that the
Closing shall not have occurred with respect to a Buyer within ten (10) days of the date hereof, then such Buyer shall have the
right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement with respect to itself at any time on or after the close of business on
such date without liability of such Buyer to any other party; provided, however, (i) the right to terminate this Agreement under
this Section 8 shall not be available to such Buyer if the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to have
been consummated by such date is the result of such Buyer’s breach of this Agreement and (ii) the abandonment of the sale
and purchase of the Notes and the Warrants shall be applicable only to such Buyer providing such written notice. Nothing contained
in this Section 8 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions
of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any
other party of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.


 


9.           MISCELLANEOUS.


 


(a)          Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this
Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict
of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the
laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder
or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, 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 to such party at the address for such 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. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
or operate to preclude any Buyer from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction
to collect on the Company’s obligations to such Buyer or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of such Buyer.
EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF
ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.


 




    	15



    	 



    

 


(b)          Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement
and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. In the event that
any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an
executed signature page, such signature page shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf
such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.


 


(c)          Headings;
Gender. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation
of, this Agreement. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine,
feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include”
and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,”
“hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision
in which they are found.


 


(d)          Severability;
Maximum Payment Amounts. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable
by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed
amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such
provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified
continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited
nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations
or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the
parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s)
with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (and without implication
that the following is required or applicable), it is the intention of the parties that in no event shall amounts and value paid
by the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries (as the case may be), or payable to or received by any of the Buyers, under the Transaction
Documents (including without limitation, any amounts that would be characterized as “interest” under applicable law)
exceed amounts permitted under any applicable law. Accordingly, if any obligation to pay, payment made to any Buyer, or collection
by any Buyer pursuant the Transaction Documents is finally judicially determined to be contrary to any such applicable law, such
obligation to pay, payment or collection shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of such Buyer, the Company and its
Subsidiaries and such amount shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest,
as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by the applicable law. Such adjustment shall be effected, to the extent necessary,
by reducing or refunding, at the option of such Buyer, the amount of interest or any other amounts which would constitute unlawful
amounts required to be paid or actually paid to such Buyer under the Transaction Documents. For greater certainty, to the extent
that any interest, charges, fees, expenses or other amounts required to be paid to or received by such Buyer under any of the Transaction
Documents or related thereto are held to be within the meaning of “interest” or another applicable term to otherwise
be violative of applicable law, such amounts shall be pro-rated over the period of time to which they relate.

(e)          Entire
Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto
and the instruments referenced herein and therein supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Buyers, the
Company, its Subsidiaries, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf solely with respect to the matters contained herein
and therein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the
instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties solely with respect to the matters covered
herein and therein; provided, however, nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall (or shall be
deemed to) (i) have any effect on any agreements any Buyer has entered into with, or any instruments any Buyer has received from,
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof with respect to any prior investment made by such Buyer in the
Company or (ii) waive, alter, modify or amend in any respect any obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any
rights of or benefits to any Buyer or any other Person, in any agreement entered into prior to the date hereof between or among
the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries and any Buyer, or any instruments any Buyer received from the Company and/or any of
its Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof, and all such agreements and instruments shall continue in full force and effect. Except
as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor any Buyer makes any representation, warranty, covenant or
undertaking with respect to such matters. For clarification purposes, the Recitals are part of this Agreement. No provision of
this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Required Holders (as defined
below), and any amendment to any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 9(e) shall
be binding on all Buyers and holders of Securities, as applicable, provided that no such amendment shall be effective to the extent
that it (1) applies to less than all of the holders of the Securities then outstanding or (2) imposes any obligation or liability
on any Buyer without such Buyer’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Buyer’s sole discretion).
No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party, provided
that the Required Holders may waive any provision of this Agreement, and any waiver of any provision of this Agreement made in
conformity with the provisions of this Section 9(e) shall be binding on all Buyers and holders of Securities, as applicable,
provided that no such waiver shall be effective to the extent that it (1) applies to less than all of the holders of the Securities
then outstanding (unless a party gives a waiver as to itself only) or (2) imposes any obligation or liability on any Buyer without
such Buyer’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Buyer’s sole discretion). The Company
has not, directly or indirectly, made any agreements with any Buyers relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents except as set forth in the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company confirms
that, except as set forth in this Agreement, no Buyer has made any commitment or promise or has any other obligation to provide
any financing to the Company, any Subsidiary or otherwise. As a material inducement for each Buyer to enter into this Agreement,
the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no due diligence or other investigation or inquiry conducted by a Buyer,
any of its advisors or any of its representatives shall affect such Buyer’s right to rely on, or shall modify or qualify
in any manner or be an exception to any of, the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any
other Transaction Document and (ii) unless a provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document is expressly preceded
by the phrase “except as disclosed in the SEC Documents,” nothing contained in any of the SEC Documents shall affect
such Buyer’s right to rely on, or shall modify or qualify in any manner or be an exception to any of, the Company’s
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. “Required Holders”
means (i) prior to the Closing Date, each Buyer entitled to purchase Notes at the Closing and (ii) on or after the Closing Date,
holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities as of such time (excluding any Registrable Securities held by the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries as of such time) issued or issuable hereunder or pursuant to the Notes and/or the Warrants.

or applicability of a more general representation or warranty. Each and every reference to share prices, shares of Common Stock
and any other numbers in this Agreement that relate to the Common Stock shall be automatically adjusted for any stock splits, stock
dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions that occur with respect to the Common Stock after
the date of this Agreement

(l)          Remedies.
Each Buyer and in the event of assignment by Buyer of its rights and obligations hereunder, each holder of Securities, shall have
all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted
at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person having
any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond
or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights
granted by law. Furthermore, the Company recognizes that in the event that it or any Subsidiary fails to perform, observe, or discharge
any or all of its or such Subsidiary’s (as the case may be) obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law
may prove to be inadequate relief to the Buyers. The Company therefore agrees that the Buyers shall be entitled to seek specific
performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction
in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security.


 


(m)          Withdrawal
Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction
Documents, whenever any Buyer exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company or any
Subsidiary does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Buyer may rescind or
withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company or such Subsidiary (as the case may be),
any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.


 


(n)          Payment
Set Aside; Currency. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Buyer hereunder or pursuant to any of
the other Transaction Documents or any of the Buyers enforce or exercise their rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment
or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent
or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company,
a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal
law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally
intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement
or setoff had not occurred. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents are in United States Dollars (“U.S. Dollars”), and all amounts owing under this Agreement
and all other Transaction Documents shall be paid in U.S. Dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies (if any) shall be
converted into the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount in accordance with the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation. “Exchange
Rate” means, in relation to any amount of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant to this Agreement,
the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the relevant date of calculation.

(o)          Independent
Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Buyer under the Transaction Documents are several and
not joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations
of any other Buyer under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action
taken by any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Buyers as, and the Company acknowledges that the
Buyers do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption
that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents or any matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Buyers are not acting in concert or as a group,
and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents. The decision of each Buyer to purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Buyer
independently of any other Buyer. Each Buyer acknowledges that no other Buyer has acted as agent for such Buyer in connection with
such Buyer making its investment hereunder and that no other Buyer will be acting as agent of such Buyer in connection with monitoring
such Buyer’s investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. The Company and each Buyer
confirms that each Buyer has independently participated with the Company and its Subsidiaries in the negotiation of the transaction
contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Buyer shall be entitled to independently protect and
enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents,
and it shall not be necessary for any other Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use
of a single agreement to effectuate the purchase and sale of the Securities contemplated hereby was solely in the control of the
Company, not the action or decision of any Buyer, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and its Subsidiaries and
not because it was required or requested to do so by any Buyer. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained
in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company, each Subsidiary and a Buyer, solely, and not between
the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Buyers collectively and not between and among the Buyers.
