or prior to each Filing Deadline, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement covering the resale
of all of the Registrable Securities that are not then registered on an effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on
a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. Each Registration Statement filed hereunder shall be on Form S-1 (or Form S-3, if available to
register for resale the Registrable Securities, or such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities) and shall
contain substantially the “Plan of Distribution” attached hereto as Annex A. Subject to the terms of this Agreement,
the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause a Registration Statement filed under this Agreement to be declared
effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than the applicable Effectiveness
Deadline, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities
Act until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (i) have been sold, thereunder or pursuant to Rule 144, or
(ii) may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Company to be
in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144, as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to
a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Transfer Agent and the affected Holders (the “Effectiveness
Period”). The Company shall promptly notify the Holders of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement. The Company shall
file a final Prospectus with the Commission as required by Rule 424.


 




    3


    


    

 


(b)
Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in Section 2(a), if the Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable
Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration
statement, the Company agrees to promptly inform each of the Holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments
to the Initial Registration Statement as required by the Commission, covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to
be registered by the Commission, on Form S-1 or such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary
offering.


 


(c) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, if the Commission or any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities
permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used commercially
reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater portion of Registrable Securities), unless
otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such
Registration Statement will be reduced first to reduce or eliminate any securities to be included by any Person other than a Holder. In
the event of a cutback hereunder, the Company shall give the Holder at least two (2) Trading Days prior written notice along with the
calculations as to such Holder’s allotment. In the event the Company amends the Initial Registration Statement in accordance with
the foregoing, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission
or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-1 or
such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Initial Registration
Statement, as amended.


 


(d) Each
Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed Selling Stockholder Questionnaire within ten (10) Business Days following the date
of this Agreement. Each Holder further agrees that it shall not be entitled to be named as a selling security holder in the Registration
Statement or use the Prospectus for offers and resales of Registrable Securities at any time, unless such Holder has returned to the Company
a completed and signed Selling Stockholder Questionnaire. If a Holder of Registrable Securities returns a Selling Stockholder Questionnaire
after the deadline specified in this Section 2(d), the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as are
required to name such Holder as a selling security holder in the Registration Statement or any pre-effective or post-effective amendment
thereto and to include (to the extent not theretofore included) in the Registration Statement the Registrable Securities identified in
such late Selling Stockholder Questionnaire; provided that the Company shall not be required to file an additional Registration Statement
solely for such shares. Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that the information in the Selling Stockholder Questionnaire will be used
and relied upon by the Company in the preparation of the Registration Statement and hereby consents to the inclusion of such information
in the Registration Statement.


 




    4


    


    

 


3.  Registration
Procedures. In connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:


 


(a) Not
less than five (5) Trading Days prior to the filing of each Registration Statement and not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to the
filing of any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, the Company shall: (i) furnish to each Holder copies of all such
documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the reasonable review of such Holders, and (ii) use its commercially
reasonable efforts to cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent registered public accountants to respond to such inquiries
as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of respective counsel to each Holder, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the
meaning of the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to provide the Holders advanced copies
of any proposed universal shelf registration statement registering securities in addition to those securities required to be registered
hereunder, or any Prospectus prepared thereto.


 


(b) (i)
Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to a Registration Statement and any Prospectus
used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep a Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable
Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statement(s) in order to
register for resale under the Securities Act any and all of the Registrable Securities, (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended
or supplemented, from time to time, by any required Prospectus supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and, as so supplemented
or amended, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424, (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments received from the Commission
with respect to a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and provide as promptly as reasonably practicable to the Holders true,
accurate and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission related to and/or applicable to a Holder in the reasonable
opinion of the Company relating to a Registration Statement (provided that, the Company shall excise its business judgment with regard
to any information contained therein which would constitute material non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries),
and (iv) comply in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the
disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement during the Effectiveness Period in accordance (subject to
the terms of this Agreement) with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in such Registration Statement
as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.


 




    5


    


    

 


(c) Notify
the Holders of Registrable Securities intended to be sold (which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vi) hereof, be accompanied
by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably possible
(and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm
such notice in writing no later than one (1) Trading Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed, (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review”
of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement, and (C) with respect to
a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission or
any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional
information, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending
the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for
that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption
from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding
for such purpose, and (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration
Statement stale or otherwise ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any material revisions
to a Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of a Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the
case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, provided, however,
in no event shall any such notice contain any information which would constitute material, non-public information regarding the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries.


 


(d) Use
its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order stopping or suspending
the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of
the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.


 


(e) Subject
to the terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by
each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any
amendment or supplement thereto, except after the giving of any notice pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vi) of Section 3(c).


 


(f)
Prior to any resale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate
with the selling Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from the Registration or qualification) of
such Registrable Securities for the resale by the Holder under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United
States as any Holder reasonably requests in writing, to keep each registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during
the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions
of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement; provided, that, the Company shall not be required to qualify generally
to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction
where it is not then so subject or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.


 




    6


    


    

 


(g) If
requested by a Holder, cooperate with such Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates or direct registration
statements in book entry form representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement,
which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement (solely with respect to Holders a party thereto) and
applicable securities laws, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered
in such names as any such Holder may reasonably request.


 


(h) Upon
the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(c), as promptly as reasonably practicable under the circumstances taking into account
the Company’s good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to the Company and its stockholders of the premature disclosure
of any such event, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement or a supplement
to any related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required
document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither a Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading at the time made. If the Company notifies the Holders in accordance with
clauses (iii) through (vi) of Section 3(c) above to suspend the use of any Prospectus until the requisite changes to such Prospectus have
been made, then the Holders shall suspend use of such Prospectus. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that
the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable. In addition, if (i) there is material non-public information regarding
the Company which the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) determines not to be in the Company’s
best interest to disclose and which the Company is not otherwise required to disclose, or (ii) there is a significant business opportunity
(including, but not limited to, the acquisition or disposition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any merger,
consolidation, tender offer or other similar transaction) available to the Company which the Board determines not to be in the Company’s
best interest to disclose, then the Company may (x) postpone or suspend filing of a registration statement for a period not to exceed
forty-five (45) consecutive days or (y) postpone or suspend effectiveness of a registration statement for a period not to exceed forty-five
(45) consecutive days; provided, that the Company may not postpone or suspend effectiveness of a registration statement under this Section
for more than ninety (90) days in the aggregate during any three hundred sixty (360) day period; provided, however, that no such postponement
or suspension shall be permitted for consecutive twenty (20) day periods arising out of the same set of facts, circumstances or transactions.


 


(i) Comply
in all material respects with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission.


 


(j) The
Company shall require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company a certified statement as to the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially
owned by such Holder and, if required by the Commission, the natural persons thereof that have voting and dispositive control over the
shares, pursuant to the Selling Stockholder Questionnaire.


 




    7


    


    

 


4.  Registration
Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by
the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to
in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees
and expenses of the Company’s counsel and independent registered public accountants) (A) with respect to filings made with the Commission,
(B) with respect to filings required to be made with any Principal Market on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading, (C) in
compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws reasonably agreed to by the Company in writing (including, without limitation,
fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company in connection with Blue Sky qualifications or exemptions of the Registrable Securities)
and (D) if not previously paid by the Company in connection with an issuer filing, with respect to any filing that may be required to
be made by any broker through which a Holder intends to make sales of Registrable Securities with FINRA pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110, so
long as the broker is receiving no more than a customary brokerage commission in connection with such sale, (ii) printing expenses (including,
without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv)
fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, and
(vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees
performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing
of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder. In no event shall the Company be responsible for any broker
or similar commissions of any Holder or any legal fees, or other costs of the Holders.


 


5.  Indemnification.


 


(a) Indemnification
by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the
officers, directors, members, partners, agents, brokers (including brokers who offer and sell Registrable Securities as principal as a
result of a pledge or any failure to perform under a margin call of Common Stock), investment advisors and employees (and any other Persons
with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of each
of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act) and the officers, directors, members, stockholders, partners, agents and employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent
role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of each such controlling Person, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or
relating to (1) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any
form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission
or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus
or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (2) any violation or alleged violation
by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection
with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements
or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for
use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable
Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement, such Prospectus
or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose) or (ii) in
the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(c)(iii)-(vi), the use by such Holder of an outdated, defective
or otherwise unavailable Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated, defective or
otherwise unavailable for use by such Holder and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(d). The Company
shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement of which the Company is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of such indemnified person and shall survive the transfer of any Registrable Securities by any of the Holders in
accordance with Section 6(h).


 




    8


    


    

 


(b) Indemnification
by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents
and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange
Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
from and against all Losses, as incurred, to the extent arising out of or based solely upon: any untrue or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary
prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made) not misleading (i) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information
so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company expressly for inclusion in such Registration Statement or such Prospectus or (ii)
to the extent, but only to the extent, that such information relates to such Holder’s information provided in the Selling Stockholder
Questionnaire or the proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such
Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose),
such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability of a selling Holder be greater in amount than
the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such Holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5 and
the amount of any damages such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission) received by such
Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.


 


(c) Conduct
of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder
(an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the
“Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including
the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection
with defense thereof; provided, that, the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party
of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have materially
and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.


 


An Indemnified
Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and
expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in
writing to pay such fees and expenses, (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding
and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding, or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding
(including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and counsel to the Indemnified Party
shall reasonably believe that a material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified
Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to
employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense
thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party).
The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party,
effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes
an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.


 


Subject to the terms
of this Agreement, all reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred
in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid
to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided, that, the
Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions
for which such Indemnified Party is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal
or further review) not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.


 




    9


    


    

 


(d) Contribution.
If the indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party
harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions,
statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such
Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including
any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by,
or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party
as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’
or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified
for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.


 


The parties hereto
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or
by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a Holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount
of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such Holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5 and the amount of any
damages such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission)
received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.


 


The indemnity and
contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified
Parties.


 


6.  Miscellaneous.


 


(a) Remedies.
In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the
Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery
of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. Each of the Company and each Holder agrees that
monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions
of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall
not assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(b) No
Piggyback on Registrations; Prohibition on Filing Other Registration Statements. Except as contemplated by Section 6(e) herein, neither
the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company
in any Registration Statements other than the Registrable Securities. The Company shall not file any other registration statements until
a Registration Statement has been filed with the Commission covering all of the Registrable Securities, provided that this Section 6(b),
(i) shall not prohibit the Company from filing amendments to registration statements filed prior to the date of this Agreement and (ii)
shall not prohibit the Company from filing a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 for a primary offering by the Company, provided
that the Company makes no offering of securities pursuant to such shelf registration statement prior to the effective date of the Registration
Statement required hereunder that includes all of the Registrable Securities; provided, however, that upon the filing of a Registration
Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall be permitted to file any other registration statements in connection
with a primary offering regardless of whether a Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities has been declared effective
by the Commission; provided, further, that once all Registrable Securities are registered pursuant to a Registration Statement that is
declared effective by the Commission, the Company shall be permitted to file any other registration statements.


 


(c) Compliance.
Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to
it (unless an exemption therefrom is available) in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.


 


(d) Discontinued
Disposition. By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the
occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(c)(iii) through (vi), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of
such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company
that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed. The Company will use its commercially
reasonable efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable.


 




    11


    


    

 


(e) Piggy-Back
Registrations. If, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of
the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating
to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form
S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely
in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s stock
option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall deliver to each Holder a written notice of such determination and, if
within ten (10) days after the date of the delivery of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include
in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be registered; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 6(e) that are eligible for resale
pursuant to Rule 144 (without volume restrictions or current public information requirements) promulgated by the Commission pursuant
to the Securities Act or that are the subject of a then effective Registration Statement. In connection with any offering involving an
underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock, the Company shall not be required to include any of the Registrable Securities
in such underwriting unless the Holder accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its underwriters,
and then only in such quantity as the underwriters in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering
by the Company. If the total number of securities, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the number of securities
to be sold (other than by the Company) that the underwriters in their reasonable discretion determine is compatible with the success
of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable
Securities, which the underwriters and the Company in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering.
If the underwriters determine that less than all of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered can be included in such offering,
then the Registrable Securities that are included in such offering shall be allocated
among the Holders of Registrable Securities in proportion (as nearly as practicable to) the number of Registrable Securities owned
by each Holder requesting registration.


 


(f) Amendments
and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented,
and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
Company and the Holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. If a Registration Statement does not register
all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a waiver or amendment done in compliance with the previous sentence, then the number of
Registrable Securities to be registered for each Holder shall be reduced pro rata among all Holders and each Holder shall have the right
to designate which of its Registrable Securities shall be omitted from such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver
or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of a Holder or some Holders
and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given only by such Holder or Holders of all of the
Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent
to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to
this Agreement.


 


(g) Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be delivered as set forth
in the Purchase Agreement.


 




    12


    


    

 


(h) Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the
parties and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder. The Company may not assign (except by merger) its rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of all of the Holders of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. Each Holder may assign their respective
rights hereunder to any Person to whom such Buyer assigns or transfers any Registrable Securities, provided that such transferee agrees
in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Registrable Securities, by the provisions of this Agreement and any other Transaction
Document that applies to the Buyers.


 


(i) No
Inconsistent Agreements. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would
have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts in any material respect with the
provisions hereof. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has previously entered into any agreement granting any registration
rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person that have not been satisfied in full.


 


(j) Execution
and Counterparts. 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 the other party,
it being understood that both 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 was an original thereof.


 


(k) Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be determined in
accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.


 


(l) Cumulative
Remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.


 


(m) 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.


 


(n) Headings.
The headings in this Agreement 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.


 




    13


    


    

 


(o) Independent
Nature of Holders’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations
of any other Holder hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder
hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Holder
pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind
of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to
such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other matters. Each Holder shall be entitled to protect and
enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other
Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision
contained in this Agreement is between the Company and a Holder, solely, and not between the Company and the Holders collectively and
not between and among Holders.

Annex A


 


Plan of Distribution


 


Each Selling Stockholder (the
“Selling Stockholders”) of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from
time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the Principal Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading
facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder
may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:


 


		●	ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;



 


		●	block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the
block as principal to facilitate the transaction;



 


		●	purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;



 


		●	an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;



 


		●	privately negotiated transactions;



 


		●	settlement of short sales;



 


		●	in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a
stipulated price per security;



 


		●	through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;



 


		●	a combination of any such methods of sale; or



 


		●	any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.



 


The Selling Stockholders may
also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.


 




     


    


    

 


Broker-dealers engaged by
the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts
from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts
to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a
customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in
compliance with FINRA IM-2440.


 


In connection with the sale
of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial
institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling
Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities
to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with
broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer
or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution
may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).


 


The Selling Stockholders and
any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning
of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any
profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities
Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly
or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.


 


The Company is required to
pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify
the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.


 


We agreed to keep this prospectus
effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and
without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance
with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities
have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities
will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in
certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable
state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.


 


Under applicable rules and
regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market
making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement
of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the Selling
Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them
of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule
172 under the Securities Act).
