or order of any court, arbitrator or other governmental authority or (iii) is or has been in violation of any statute, rule, ordinance
or regulation of any governmental authority, including without limitation all foreign, federal, state and local laws relating to
taxes, environmental protection, occupational health and safety, product quality and safety and employment and labor matters, except
in each case as could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.


 


(m)
Regulatory Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the
appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described
in the SEC Reports, except where the failure to possess such permits could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect (“Material Permits”), and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings
relating to the revocation or modification of any Material Permit.

(n)
Title to Assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned
by them and good and marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company and
the Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for (i) Liens as do not materially affect the value of such
property and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and the Subsidiaries
and (ii) Liens for the payment of federal, state or other taxes, for which appropriate reserves have been made therefore in accordance
with GAAP and, the payment of which is neither delinquent nor subject to penalties. Any real property and facilities held under
lease by the Company and the Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with which the Company
and the Subsidiaries are in compliance.


 


(o)
Intellectual Property. The Company and the Subsidiaries have, or have rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks,
trademark applications, service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses and other intellectual property
rights and similar rights necessary or required for use in connection with their respective businesses as described in the Prospectus
or the SEC Reports and which the failure to so have could have a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual
Property Rights”). None of, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a notice (written or otherwise) that
any of, the Intellectual Property Rights has expired, terminated or been abandoned, or is expected to expire or terminate or be
abandoned, within two (2) years from the date of this Agreement. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received, since the
date of the latest audited financial statements included within the Prospectus, a written notice of a claim or otherwise has any
knowledge that the Intellectual Property Rights violate or infringe upon the rights of any Person, except as could not have or
reasonably be expected to not have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights
are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company
and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their
intellectual properties, except where failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect.


 


(p)
Insurance. The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such
losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are
engaged, including, but not limited to, directors and officers insurance coverage. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any
reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain
similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business without a significant increase in cost.


 


(q)
Transactions With Affiliates and Employees. Except as set forth in the Prospectus, none of the officers or directors of
the Company or any Subsidiary and, to the knowledge of the Company, none of the employees of the Company or any Subsidiary is presently

in excess of $120,000 other than for (i) payment of salary or consulting fees for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for expenses

of the Company.

Sarbanes-Oxley; Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and the Subsidiaries is in compliance with any and all requirements
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that are applicable to the Company and effective as of the date hereof, and any and all rules
and regulations promulgated by the Commission thereunder that are applicable to the Company and effective as of the date hereof
and as of the Closing Date. The Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting
controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that: (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 GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s
general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable
intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The Company and the Subsidiaries have established disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and the Subsidiaries and designed
such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files
or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s
rules and forms. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures
of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange
Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under
the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based
on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the internal control over
financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) of the Company and its Subsidiaries that have materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting of the Company and its Subsidiaries.


 


(s)
Certain Fees. Except as set forth in the Prospectus and Prospectus Supplements, no brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions

investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Purchasers
shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees
of a type contemplated in this Section that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

as amended. The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become an “investment company” subject
to registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.


 


(u)
Registration Rights. No Person has any right to cause the Company or any Subsidiary to effect the registration under the

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


 


(w)
Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and the Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in
order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under
a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s certificate of incorporation (or similar
charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of
the Purchasers and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including
without limitation as a result of the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the Purchasers’ ownership of the Securities.


 


(x)
Disclosure. The Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers
or their agents or counsel with any information that it believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information
which is not otherwise disclosed in the Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplements. The Company understands and confirms that the
Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All of the disclosure
furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries, their respective businesses
and the transactions contemplated hereby, is true and correct in all material respects and does not contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser makes or has made any representations
or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 3.2 hereof.

(y)
Solvency. Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the
receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder, (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s
assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities
(including known contingent liabilities) as they mature and (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small
capital to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account
the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements and
capital availability thereof. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking
into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any facts
or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization
laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date (it being understood that the Company may require additional capital
to continue its operations during such period). The Prospectus sets forth as of the date hereof all outstanding secured and unsecured
Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments. For the purposes of
this Agreement, “Indebtedness” means (x) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $50,000
(other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business), (y) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent
obligations in respect of indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s consolidated

transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (z) the present value of any lease payments in excess of $50,000 due under
leases required to be capitalized in accordance with GAAP. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to
any Indebtedness.


 


(z)
Tax Status. Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect, the Company and its Subsidiaries each (i) has made or filed all United States federal, state and
local income and all foreign income and franchise tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it
is subject, (ii) has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined
to be due on such returns, reports and declarations and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the
payment of all material taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There
are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the
Company or of any Subsidiary know of no basis for any such claim.


 


(aa)
Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor to the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary,
any agent or other person acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary, has (i) directly or indirectly, used any funds for
unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii)
made any unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties
or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any contribution made by the Company or any Subsidiary (or made

respect any provision of FCPA.

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

has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company and its representatives.

is understood and acknowledged by the Company that: (i) none of the Purchasers has been asked by the Company to agree, nor has
any Purchaser agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling, long and/or short, securities of the Company, or “derivative”
securities based on securities issued by the Company or to hold the Securities for any specified term; (ii) past or future open
market or other transactions by any Purchaser, specifically including, without limitation, Short Sales or “derivative”
transactions, before or after the closing of this or future private placement transactions, may negatively impact the market price

to which any such Purchaser is a party, directly or indirectly, presently may have a “short” position in the Common
Stock, and (iv) each Purchaser shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counter-party
in any “derivative” transaction. The Company further understands and acknowledges that (y) one or more Purchasers
may engage in hedging activities at various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, including, without limitation,
during the periods that the value of the Warrant Shares deliverable with respect to Securities are being determined, and (z) such
hedging activities (if any) could reduce the value of the existing stockholders' equity interests in the Company at and after
the time that the hedging activities are being conducted.  The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities
do not constitute a breach of any of the Transaction Documents.


 


(dd)
Regulation M Compliance.  The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting on its behalf has, (i) taken, directly
or indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the
Company to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Securities, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or, paid any compensation for
soliciting purchases of, any of the Securities, or (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any Person any compensation for soliciting another
to purchase any other securities of the Company, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), compensation paid to the Company’s
placement agent in connection with the placement of the Securities.

3.2
Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser, for itself
and for no other Purchaser, hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows
(unless as of a specific date therein):


 


(a)
Organization; Authority. Such Purchaser is either an individual or an entity
duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation
with full right, corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution
and delivery of this Agreement and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of
such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by
such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser,
enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally,
(ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and
(iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.


 


(b)
Understandings or Arrangements. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities
as principal for its own account and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute
or regarding the distribution of such Securities (this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to
sell the Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities
laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.


 






    	19



    	 



    
 


(c)
Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities,
it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it exercises any Warrants, it will be either: (a) a resident
of the state of Wisconsin and either (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7)
or (a)(8) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities
Act or (b) an “institutional investor” as defined within the meaning of the Blue Sky
law of its principal place of business. Such Purchaser is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer under Section
15 of the Exchange Act. 


 


(d)
Experience of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with
its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such
investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able
to afford a complete loss of such investment.


 


(e)
Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions
contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such
Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company
during the period commencing as of the time that such Purchaser first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company
or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending
immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment
vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers
have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s
assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager
that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons party to this
Agreement, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction
(including the existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for avoidance of doubt, nothing contained
herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to the identification of the availability
of, or securing of, available shares to borrow in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.


 


The Company acknowledges
and agrees that the representations contained in Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to
rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained
in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement
or the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby.

such action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction
Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such
Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which constitutes fraud, gross negligence,
willful misconduct or malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may
be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall
have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any
Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but
the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment
thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time
to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material
conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the
Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not
be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s
prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a
loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties,
covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification
required by this Section 4.8 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or
defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any
cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject
to pursuant to law.

4.9
Reservation of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved
and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares
of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue Shares pursuant to this Agreement and Warrant Shares pursuant
to any exercise of the Warrants. 


 


4.10
Quotation of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use best efforts
to maintain the quotation of the Common Stock on the Trading Market on which it is currently quoted, and concurrently with the
Closing, the Company shall promptly secure the quotation of all of the Shares and Warrant Shares on such Trading Market. The Company
further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will then include in such
application all of the Shares and Warrant Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Shares and
Warrant Shares to be listed or quoted on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The Company will then take all action
reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects
with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market. 


 


4.11
[Reserved]. 


 


4.12
Subsequent Equity Sales. 


 


(a)
From the date hereof until 30 days after the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall issue, enter into any agreement
to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents.


 


(b)
From the date hereof until the second anniversary of the closing, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into
an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or a
combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction
in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for,
or include the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange
rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at
any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that
is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence
of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock
or (ii) enters into any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may issue securities
at a future determined price. Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such
issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.


 






    	23



    	 



    
 


(c)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.12 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable Rate
Transaction shall be an Exempt Issuance.


 


4.13
Equal Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification
of any Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision
of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents.
For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated
separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed
as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.


 


4.14
Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and
not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding
with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing
with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly
announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4.  Each
Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4, such
Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in the
this Agreement and otherwise provided to the Purchasers in connection with this transaction.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges and
agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions
in any securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced
pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4, (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from effecting
any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from and after the time that the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in
Section 4.4 and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality to the Company or its Subsidiaries after the issuance
of the initial press release as described in Section 4.4.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser
that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s
assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing
other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets
managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.

5.5
Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified,
supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, by the Company and the Purchasers holding at least majority in interest
of the Shares based on the initial Subscription Amounts hereunder, with any such waiver, modification, supplement or amendment
to be binding on all parties hereto. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement
shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision,
condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair
the exercise of any such right.


 


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


 


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


 


5.8
No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision
hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.8.


 


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

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


 


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


 


5.12
Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement
is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions,
covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or
invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to
achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is
hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions,
covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.


 


5.13
Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises
a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations
within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon
written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions
and rights; provided, however,
that in the case of a rescission of an exercise of a Warrant, the applicable Purchaser shall be required to return any shares of
Common Stock subject to any such rescinded exercise notice concurrently with the return to such Purchaser of the aggregate exercise
price paid to the Company for such shares and the restoration of such Purchaser’s right to acquire such shares pursuant to
such Purchaser’s Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).


 


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


 






    	27



    	 



    
 


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


 


5.16
Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments
to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment
or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent
or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company,
a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law,
common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally
intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement
or setoff had not occurred.


 


5.17
Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations
of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no
Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under
any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant
hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other
kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such
obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect
and enforce its rights including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction
Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such
purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction
Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience only, each Purchaser and its respective counsel have chosen to communicate
with the Company through EGS. EGS does not represent any of the Purchasers and only represents Rodman & Renshaw, LLC, the placement
agent for the offering. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the
convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood
and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a
Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.


 






    	28



    	 



    
 


5.18
Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the
taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may
be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.


 


5.19
Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective
counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction
to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of
the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common
Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations
and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement.


 


5.20
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN
ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.
