MECHANICS OF PURCHASE OF SHARES BY INVESTOR. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 2.6, 7
and 8 of this Agreement, the closing of the purchase by the Investor of the Securities (a “Closing”) shall
occur on the date (each a “Closing Date”), provided that, the Company has delivered to the Investor pursuant
to this Agreement, certificates representing the Securities to be issued to the Investor on such date and registered in the name
of the Investor (the “Certificate”), and the Certificate is cleared for trading prior to 12:00 pm Eastern Time
on such date. If the Certificate is delivered and cleared for trading after 12:00 pm Eastern Time on a Trading Day, the Closing

2.6

the number of Shares issuable by the Company and purchasable by the Investor, shall not exceed that number of the Shares that
may be issuable without stockholder approval (the “Maximum Common Stock Issuance”). If such issuance of Shares
could cause a delisting on the Principal Market, then the Maximum Common Stock Issuance shall first be approved by the Company’s
stockholders in accordance with applicable law and the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company, if such issuance
of Shares could cause a delisting on the Principal Market. The parties understand and agree that the Company’s failure to
seek or obtain such stockholder approval shall in no way adversely affect the validity and due authorization of the issuance and
sale of Securities or the Investor’s obligation in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof to purchase a number
of Shares in the aggregate up to the Maximum Common Stock Issuance limitation, and that such approval pertains only to the applicability
of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance limitation provided in this Section 2.6.

be entitled to purchase that number of Shares, which when added to the sum of the number of Shares beneficially owned (as such
term is defined under Section 13(d) and Rule 13d-3 of the 1934 Act), by the Investor, would exceed 4.99% of the number of Shares
outstanding on the Closing Date, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-1(j) of the 1934 Act.

nor any such Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate,
approval, authorization or permit, except for such certificates, approvals, authorizations or permits which if not obtained, or
such revocations or modifications which would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

taxes) and has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined
to be due on such returns, reports and declarations, except those being contested in good faith and has set aside on its books
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,

officers and directors have studied and fully understand the nature of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and recognize

in its good faith business judgment, and with full understanding of the implications, that such issuance is in the best interests
of the Company. The Company specifically acknowledges that, subject to such limitations as are expressly set forth in the Financing
Agreements, its obligation to issue Shares upon purchases pursuant to this Agreement is absolute and unconditional regardless
of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders of the Company.

11.1         Law
Governing this Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought only in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts
located in the state and county of New York. The parties to this Agreement hereby irrevocably waive any objection to jurisdiction
and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based
upon forum non conveniens. The parties executing this Agreement and other agreements referred to herein or delivered
in connection herewith on behalf of the Company agree to submit to the in personam jurisdiction of such courts and hereby irrevocably
waive trial by jury. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney’s
fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid
or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that
it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may
prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement.
Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding
in connection with this Agreement or any other Financing Agreements by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail
or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement
and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.


 


11.2         LEGAL FEES;
AND MISCELLANEOUS FEES. Except as otherwise set forth in the Financing Agreements (including but not limited to Section V
of the Registration Rights Agreement), each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, the accountants and
other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery
and performance of this Agreement. Any attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by either the Company or the Investor in connection
with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of any amendments to this Agreement or relating to the enforcement of
the rights of any party, after the occurrence of any breach of the terms of this Agreement by another party or any default by
another party in respect of the transactions contemplated hereunder, shall be paid on demand by the party which breached the Agreement
and/or defaulted, as the case may be. The Company shall pay all stamp and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the
issuance of any Securities.


 


11.3         COUNTERPARTS.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different signatories hereto on separate counterparts,
each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same
instrument. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile transmission, PDF, electronic signature or other similar electronic means
with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.


 


11.4         HEADINGS;

interpretation of, this Agreement. Whenever required by the context of this Agreement, the singular shall include the plural and
masculine shall include the feminine.


 


11.5         SEVERABILITY.
If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability
of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.


 


11.6         ENTIRE AGREEMENT;
AMENDMENTS. This Agreement is the FINAL AGREEMENT between the Company and the Investor with respect to the terms and conditions
set forth herein, and, the terms of this Agreement may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent
oral agreements of the parties. No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by
the Company and the Investor, and no provision hereof may be waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by the party
against whom enforcement is sought. The execution and delivery of the Financing Agreements shall not alter the force and effect
of any other agreements between the parties, and the obligations under those agreements.

Each party shall provide five (5) days prior written notice to the other party of any change in address or email.


 


11.8         NO ASSIGNMENT.
This Agreement may not be assigned.


 


11.9         NO THIRD
PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and is not for the benefit of, nor may
any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person, except that the Company acknowledges that the rights of the Investor may
be enforced by its general partner.


 


11.10      SURVIVAL. The representations
and warranties of the Company and the Investor contained in Sections 3 and 4, the agreements and covenants set forth in Sections
5 and 6, and the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 10, shall survive until the termination of the Agreement.


 


11.11      PUBLICITY. The Company
and the Investor shall consult with each other in issuing any press releases or otherwise making public statements with respect
to the transactions contemplated hereby and no party shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any such public statement
without the prior consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except that no prior
consent shall be required if such disclosure is required by law, in which such case the disclosing party shall provide the other
party with prior notice of such public statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name
of the Investor without the prior consent of the Investor, except to the extent required by law. The Investor acknowledges that
this Agreement and all or part of the Financing Agreements may be deemed to be “material contracts” as that term is
defined by Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K, and that the Company may therefore be required to file such documents as exhibits
to reports or registration statements filed under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act. The Investor further agrees that the status of
such documents and materials as material contracts shall be determined solely by the Company, in consultation with its counsel.


 


11.12      FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each
party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver
all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry
out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

11.13      NO STRICT CONSTRUCTION.
The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and
no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party, as the parties mutually agree that each has had a full and
fair opportunity to review this Agreement and seek the advice of counsel on it.


 


11.14      REMEDIES. The Investor
shall have all rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement 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 the Investor
has by 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 default or breach of any provision of this Agreement,
including the recovery of reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, and to exercise all other rights granted by law.


 


11.15      PAYMENT SET ASIDE. To
the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Investor hereunder or under the Registration Rights Agreement or
the Investor enforces or exercises its 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, 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.


 


11.16      PRICING OF COMMON STOCK.
For purposes of this Agreement, the price of the Common Stock shall be as reported on Bloomberg, L.P or OTC Markets.


 


SECTION XII


NON-DISCLOSURE OF NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION


 


The Company shall not disclose non-public information to the Investor,
its advisors, or its representatives.


 


Nothing herein shall require the Company to disclose non-public
information to the Investor or its advisors or representatives, and the Company represents that it does not disseminate non-public
information to any investors who purchase stock in the Company in a public offering, to money managers or to securities analysts,
provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company will, as hereinabove provided, immediately
notify the advisors and representatives of the Investor and, if any, underwriters, of any event or the existence of any circumstance
(without any obligation to disclose the specific event or circumstance) of which it becomes aware, constituting non-public information
(whether or not requested of the Company specifically or generally during the course of due diligence by such persons or entities),
which, if not disclosed in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement would cause such prospectus to include a material
misstatement or to omit a material fact required to be stated therein in order to make the statements, therein, in light of the
circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. Nothing contained in this Section 12 shall be construed to mean
that such persons or entities other than the Investor (without the written consent of the Investor prior to disclosure of such
information) may not obtain non-public information in the course of conducting due diligence in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and nothing herein shall prevent any such persons or entities from notifying the Company of their opinion that based
on such due diligence by such persons or entities, that the Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of material fact
or omits a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or necessary to make the statements contained therein,
in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.
