Bylaws (as defined in Section 3(r)) of the Company or the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other governing documents of any of its Subsidiaries or any capital stock of the Company or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or

preceding sentence have been obtained or effected on or prior to the Closing Date, and the Company and its Subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or circumstances which might prevent the Company from obtaining or effecting any of the registration,
application or filings pursuant to the preceding sentence. The Company is not in violation of the listing requirements of the Principal Market and other than the potential delisting if the Company’s share price falls below $1.00 per share, has
no knowledge of any facts which would reasonably lead to delisting or suspension of the Common Stock in the foreseeable future. 
 (f) Acknowledgment Regarding Buyer’s Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees based, in part, on the Buyer’s representations in Section 2, that the Buyer is acting solely in the capacity of an
arm’s length purchaser with respect to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and that the Buyer is not (i) an officer or director of the Company, (ii) an
“affiliate” of the Company (as defined in Rule 144) or (iii) to the knowledge of the Company, a “beneficial owner” of more than 10% of the shares of Common Stock (as defined for purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the 1934 Act). The
Company further acknowledges that the Buyer is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby, and any advice given by the Buyer or any of its representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to the Buyer’s purchase
of the Securities. The Company further represents to the Buyer that the Company’s decision to enter into the Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation by the Company and its representatives. 
 (g) No General Solicitation; Placement Agent’s Fees. Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any Person acting on
its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities. The Company shall be responsible for the payment of any
placement agent’s fees, financial advisory fees, or brokers’ commissions (other than for Persons engaged by the Buyer or its investment advisor) relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall pay, and
hold the Buyer harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection with any such claim. The Company acknowledges that it has engaged Ardour Capital
Investments, LLC as placement agent (the “Agent”) in connection with the sale of the Securities. Other than the Agent, the Company has not engaged any placement agent or other agent in connection with the sale of the Securities.

 (h) No Integrated Offering. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, any of their affiliates or any Person acting on
its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require registration of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act or cause this
offering of the Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the 1933 Act or any applicable stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any exchange or
automated quotation system on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, their 

  

 - 8 - 








 
affiliates or any Person acting on its or their behalf will take any action or steps referred to in the preceding sentence that would require registration of
any of the Securities under the 1933 Act or cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings. 
 (i)
Dilutive Effect. The Company understands and acknowledges that the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, will increase in certain circumstances. The
Company further acknowledges that its obligation to issue Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with this Agreement and the Notes and its obligation to issue the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with
this Agreement and the Warrants is, in each case, absolute and unconditional, regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders of the Company. 
 (j) Application of Takeover Protections; Rights Agreement. The Company and its 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 Certificate of Incorporation or the
laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation which is or could become applicable to the Buyer as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the
Buyer’s ownership of the Securities. The Company has not adopted a stockholder rights plan or similar arrangement relating to accumulations of beneficial ownership of Common Stock or a change in control of the Company. 
 (k) SEC Documents; Financial Statements. The Company is a “Small Business Issuer” and has filed all reports, schedules,
forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act since its initial public offering (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof and all exhibits included
therein and financial statements, notes and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein being hereinafter referred to herein as the “SEC Documents”). The Company has delivered to the Buyer or its
representatives true, correct and complete copies of any SEC Documents not available on the EDGAR system. As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and
regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents
complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they
may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended

any contract, agreement or instrument relating to any Indebtedness, has given notice to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of, or made a claim with respect to, any breach or default thereunder, or of a desire or intention to exercise any
optional termination right thereunder and there is no notice of or claim with respect to any such breach, default, desire or intention. For purposes of this Agreement: (x) ”Indebtedness” of any Person means, without duplication
(A) all indebtedness for borrowed money, (B) all obligations issued, undertaken or assumed as the deferred purchase price of property or services (including, without limitation, “capital leases” in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principals) (other than trade payables entered into in the ordinary course of business), (C) all reimbursement or payment obligations with respect to letters of credit, surety bonds and other similar instruments,
(D) all obligations evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or similar instruments, including obligations so evidenced incurred in connection with the acquisition of property, assets or businesses, (E) all monetary obligations under any
leasing or similar arrangement which, in connection with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied for the periods covered thereby, is classified as a capital lease, (F) all indebtedness referred to in clauses

property or assets (including accounts and contract rights) owned by any Person, even though the Person which owns such assets or property has not assumed or become liable for the payment of such indebtedness and (G) all Contingent Obligations
in respect of indebtedness or obligations of others of the kinds referred to in clauses (A) through (F) above; (y) “Contingent Obligation” means, as to any Person, any direct or indirect liability, contingent or
otherwise, of that Person with respect to any indebtedness, lease, dividend or other obligation of another Person if the primary purpose or intent of the Person incurring such liability, or the primary effect thereof, is to provide assurance to the
obligee of such liability that such liability will be paid or discharged, or that any agreements relating thereto will be complied with, or that the holders of such liability will be protected (in whole or in part) against loss with respect thereto;
and (z) “Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization or other entity and a government or any department or agency thereof.

 (t) Absence of Litigation. Except as set forth in Schedule 3(t), there is no action, suit, proceeding,
inquiry or investigation before or by the Principal Market, any court, public board, government agency, arbitrator, mediator, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the
Company, the Common Stock or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ officers or directors. 
 (u) Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to
be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for and neither the Company nor any such
Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will 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 at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (v) Employee Relations. (i) Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any collective bargaining agreement or
employs any member of a union. The Company and its Subsidiaries believe that their relations with their employees are good. No executive officer (as defined in Rule 501(f) of the 1933 Act) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has notified the
Company or any such Subsidiary that such officer intends to leave the Company or any such Subsidiary or otherwise terminate such officer’s employment with the Company or any such Subsidiary. To the best knowledge of the Company, no executive
officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, to the knowledge of the Company or any such Subsidiary, is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary
information agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant, and the continued employment of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any such Subsidiary to any liability with
respect to any of the foregoing matters. 
 (ii) The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all federal, state,
local and foreign laws and regulations respecting labor, employment and employment practices and benefits, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where failure to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (w) Title. The Company and its
Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property and good and marketable title to all personal property owned by them which is material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of
all liens, encumbrances and defects, except such as do not materially affect the value of such property and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries. Any real property and
facilities held under lease by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such
property and facilities by the Company and its Subsidiaries. 
 (x) Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its
Subsidiaries own or possess adequate rights or licenses to use all trademarks, trade names, service marks, service mark registrations, service names, patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions, licenses, approvals, governmental authorizations,
trade secrets and other intellectual property rights (“Intellectual Property Rights”) necessary to conduct their respective businesses as now conducted. None of the Company’s Intellectual Property Rights have expired or
terminated, or are expected to expire or terminate, within three years from the date of this Agreement. The Company does not have any knowledge of any infringement by the Company or its Subsidiaries of Intellectual Property Rights of others. There
is no claim, action or proceeding pending, or to the knowledge of the Company, being threatened, against the Company or its Subsidiaries regarding its Intellectual Property Rights. The Company is unaware of any facts or circumstances which might
give rise to any of the foregoing infringements or claims, actions or proceedings. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their Intellectual Property Rights.

 (y) Environmental Laws. The Company and its Subsidiaries (i) are in
compliance with any and all Environmental Laws (as hereinafter defined), (ii) have received all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses and (iii) are
in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval where, in each of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the failure to so comply could be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a
Material Adverse Effect. The term “Environmental Laws” means all federal, state, local or foreign laws relating to pollution or protection of human health or the environment (including, without limitation, ambient air, surface
water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata), including, without limitation, laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of chemicals, pollutants, contaminants, or toxic or hazardous substances or wastes
(collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) into the environment, or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials, as well as all
authorizations, codes, decrees, demands or demand letters, injunctions, judgments, licenses, notices or notice letters, orders, permits, plans or regulations issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder. 
 (z) Subsidiary Rights. Except as set forth in Schedule 3(z), the Company or one of its Subsidiaries has the unrestricted
right to vote, and (subject to limitations imposed by applicable law) to receive dividends and distributions on, all capital securities of its Subsidiaries as owned by the Company or such Subsidiary. 
 (aa) Investment Company. The Company is not, and is not an affiliate of, an “investment company” within the meaning of
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations, except those being contested in good faith and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all
taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company know of
no basis for any such claim. 
 (cc) Internal Accounting and Disclosure Controls. The Company maintains 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 generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset and liability accountability, (iii) access to assets or incurrence of liabilities is permitted only in accordance with
management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets and liabilities is compared with the existing assets and liabilities at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any
difference. The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-14 under the 1934 Act) that are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the 

  

 - 15 - 








 
reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms
of the SEC, including, without limitation, controls and procedures designed in to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is accumulated and communicated to the
Company’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and its principal financial officer or officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the twelve months prior to the date
hereof neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice or correspondence from any accountant relating to any potential material weakness in any part of the system of internal accounting controls of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries. 
 (dd) Off Balance Sheet Arrangements. There is no transaction, arrangement or other relationship
between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and an unconsolidated or other off balance sheet entity that is required to be disclosed by the Company in its 1934 Act filings and is not so disclosed or that otherwise would be reasonably likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (ee) Ranking of Note. Except as set forth on Schedule (ee), no Indebtedness
of the Company is senior to or ranks pari passu with the Note in right of payment, whether with respect of payment of redemptions, interest, damages or upon liquidation or dissolution or otherwise. 
 (ff) Form S-3 Eligibility. The Company is eligible to register the Conversion Shares, the Warrant Shares and the Interest Shares
for resale by the Buyer using Form S-3 promulgated under the 1933 Act.

stock transfer or other taxes (other than income or similar taxes) which are required to be paid in connection with the sale and transfer of the Securities to be sold to the Buyer hereunder will be, or will have been, fully paid or provided for by
the Company, and all laws imposing such taxes will be or will have been complied with. 
 (hh) Manipulation of Price.
The Company and its Subsidiaries have not, and to its knowledge no one acting on its or their 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) other than the Agent, sold, bid for, purchased, or paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the Securities or (iii) other than the
Agent, paid or agreed to pay to any Person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other securities of the Company.

confirms that the Buyer will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All disclosure provided to the Buyer regarding the Company, its business and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents, including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and thereto, furnished by or on behalf of the Company is true and correct 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 herein or therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each press release issued by the Company during the twelve (12) months preceding the date of
this Agreement did not at the time of release contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they are made, not misleading. No event or circumstance has occurred or information exists with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their business, assets, liabilities, properties, prospects, operations or
condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations, which, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or announcement by the Company, but which has not been so publicly announced or disclosed. 
 4. COVENANTS. 
 (a)
Blue Sky. The Company shall, on or before the Closing Date, take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for or to qualify the Securities for sale to the Buyer at the Closing pursuant

time to time issuable under the terms of the Transaction Documents. The Company shall maintain the Common Stock’s authorization for quotation on the Principal Market. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action which
would be reasonably expected to result in the delisting or suspension of the Common Stock on the Principal Market. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section 4(e). 
 (f) Fees. The Company shall reimburse the Buyer or its designee(s) for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection

 (g) Pledge of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Securities may be pledged by an Investor (as defined in the
Registration Rights Agreement) in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Securities. The pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the

the provisions of Section 2(f) hereof, in order to effect a sale, transfer or assignment of Securities to such pledgee. The Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Securities may reasonably request in
connection with a pledge of the Securities to such pledgee by an Investor.

directors, employees, stockholders, representatives and agents, in addition to any other remedy provided herein or in the other Transaction Documents, the Buyer, upon five (5) business days’ notice to the Company, shall have the right to
make a public disclosure, in the form of a press release, public advertisement or otherwise, of such material, nonpublic information without the prior approval by the Company or its Subsidiaries or any of its or their respective officers, directors,
employees, stockholders, representatives or agents. The Buyer shall not have any liability to the Company or its Subsidiaries or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, representatives or agents, for any such
disclosure. Subject to the foregoing, none of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or the Buyer shall issue any press releases or any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that
the Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of the Buyer, to make any press release or other public disclosure with respect to such transactions (i) in substantial conformity with the 8-K Filings and contemporaneously therewith
and (ii) as is required by applicable law and regulations (provided, that in the case of clause (i) the Buyer shall be consulted by the Company in connection with any such press release or other public disclosure prior to its
release). Without the prior written consent of the Buyer, the Company shall not disclose the name of the Buyer in any filing, announcement, release or otherwise. 
 (i) Restriction on Redemption and Cash Dividends. Except in connection with any Soft Call of Warrants (as defined below) by the
Company, and in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, redeem, purchase, repurchase, retire or otherwise acquire for value, or declare or pay any

Closing Date, the Company shall not, in any manner, enter into or effect any Dilutive Issuance (as defined in the Notes) if the effect of such Dilutive Issuance is to cause the Company to be required to issue upon conversion of any Note or exercise

regulations of the Principal Market.

approve such resolutions. The Company shall be obligated to use its best efforts to obtain the Stockholder Approval by the Stockholder Meeting Deadline. If, despite the Company’s best efforts, the Stockholder Approval is not obtained on or
prior to the Stockholder Meeting Deadline, the Company shall cause an additional Stockholder Meeting to be held every three (3) months thereafter until such Stockholder Approval is obtained, the Notes are no longer outstanding, or

 (a) Register. The Company shall maintain at its principal executive office (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may
designate by notice to each holder of Securities), a register for the Note (and any Notes issued in exchange, transfer or replacement of the Note, which shall collectively be referred to as the “Notes”) and the Warrants in which the
Company shall record the name and address of the Person in whose name the Notes and the Warrants have been issued (including the name and address of each transferee), the principal amount of Notes held by such Person, the number of Conversion Shares
issuable upon conversion of the Notes and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by such Person. The Company shall keep the register open and available at all times during business hours for inspection of the Buyer
or its legal representatives. 
 (b) Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to
its transfer agent, and any subsequent transfer agent, to issue certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), registered in the name of the Buyer or its nominee, for the
Conversion Shares, the Interest Shares, if any, and the Warrant Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Buyer to the Company upon conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants in the form of Exhibit D attached
hereto (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”). The Company warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5(b), and stop transfer instructions to give
effect to Section 2(g) hereof, will be given by the Company to its transfer agent with respect to the Securities, and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company, as applicable, and to the
extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. If the Buyer effects a sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities in accordance with Section 2(g), the Company shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct its
transfer agent to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Buyer to effect such sale, transfer or assignment. In the event 

  

 - 21 - 








 
that such sale, assignment or transfer involves Conversion Shares, Interest Shares or Warrant Shares sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an effective
registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144, the transfer agent shall issue such Securities to the Buyer, assignee or transferee, as the case may be, without any restrictive legend upon receipt of reasonably requested documentation and an opinion
of counsel in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyer. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a
breach of its obligations under this Section 5(b) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 5(b), that the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all
other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. 
 6. CONDITIONS TO THE COMPANY’S OBLIGATION TO SELL. 
 (a) The obligation of the Company hereunder to issue and sell the Note and the related Warrants to the Buyer at the Closing is subject to
the satisfaction, at or before the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions; provided, that these conditions are for the Company’s sole benefit and may be waived by the Company at any time in its sole discretion by providing the

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

MISCELLANEOUS. 
 (a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction,
validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any
other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New
York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or
proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party
hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such
service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY
RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.  
 (b) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and
the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party; provided, that a facsimile signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory
thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original, not a facsimile signature. 
 (c)
Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement. 
 (d) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or
unenforceability shall not affect the validity 

  

 - 24 - 








 
or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other
jurisdiction. 
 (e) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents supersede all
other prior oral or written agreements between the Buyer, the Company, their Affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the instruments
referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor the Buyer makes any representation,
warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate number of Registrable
Securities issued and issuable hereunder, and any amendment to this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 8(e) shall be binding on the Buyer and holders of Securities, as applicable. No provision hereof may be waived
other than by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the applicable Securities then outstanding. No
consideration 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 also is offered to all of the parties to the Transaction
Documents, holders of Notes or holders of the Warrants, as the case may be. The Company has not, directly or indirectly, made any agreements with the Buyer relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents except as set forth in the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company confirms that, except as set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer has not made any commitment or promise or has any other obligation to provide any
financing to the Company or otherwise. 
 (f) Notices. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required
or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided, confirmation
of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party); or (iii) one Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same. The

 (g) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any purchasers of the Note or the Warrants. The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the
holders of at least a majority of the aggregate number of Registrable Securities issued and issuable hereunder, including by way of a Fundamental Transaction (unless the Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental
Transactions set forth in the Note and the Warrants). The Buyer may assign some or all of its rights hereunder in connection with transfer of any of its Securities without the consent of the Company, in which event such assignee shall be deemed to
be a Buyer hereunder with respect to such assigned rights. 
 (h) No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is
intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person. 
 (i) Survival. The representations and warranties of the Company and the Buyer contained in Sections 2 and 3 and the agreements and
covenants set forth in Sections 4, 5 and 8 shall survive the Closing. 
 (j) Further Assurances. Each party shall do
and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the
intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 (k)
Indemnification. In consideration of the Buyer’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents,
the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer and each other holder of the Securities and all of their partners, members, managers, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing
Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions,
causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and
including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation
or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company
contained in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party
(including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company) and arising out of or resulting from (i) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or any other
certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, 

  

 - 27 - 








 
with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, (iii) any disclosure made by the Buyer pursuant to Section 4(h), or (iv) the status of
the Buyer or holder of the Securities as an investor in the Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company
shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the mechanics and procedures with respect to the rights and
obligations under this Section 8(k) shall be the same as those set forth in Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement. 
 (l) Remedies. The Buyer and each holder of the Securities and the Company shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been
granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without
posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, the Company recognizes that in the event that it fails to perform, observe
or discharge any or all of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Buyer. The Company therefore agrees that the Buyer shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive
relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security. 
 (m)
Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Buyer hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or the Buyer enforces or exercises its rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment
or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise
restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration
the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
