(k)                Labor Relations. No labor dispute exists or, to the knowledge of the Company, is imminent with respect to any of
the employees of the Company, which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Company’s

or such Subsidiary, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to a collective bargaining agreement, and the
Company and its Subsidiaries believe that their relationships with their employees are good. To the knowledge of the Company, no

contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement or non-competition agreement, or any other contract
or agreement or any restrictive covenant in favor of any third party, and the continued employment of each such executive officer
does not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The Company
and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to employment
and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where the failure to be in compliance
could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


(l)                
Compliance. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary: (i) is in default under or in violation of (and no event has
occurred that has not been waived that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a default by the Company or any Subsidiary
under), nor has the Company or any Subsidiary received notice of a claim that it is in default under or that it is in violation
of, any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of
its properties is bound (whether or not such default or violation has been waived), (ii) is in violation of any judgment, decree
or order of any court, arbitrator or other governmental authority or (iii) is or has been in violation of any statute, rule, ordinance
or regulation of any governmental authority, including without limitation all foreign, federal, state and local laws relating to

in each case as could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.


 


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


 


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

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


 


(p)

such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries
are engaged, including, but not limited to, directors and officers insurance coverage at least equal to the aggregate Subscription
Amount. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance
coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue
its business without a significant increase in cost.


 


(q)              
Transactions With Affiliates and Employees. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, none of the officers or directors

including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental

payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any entity in which any officer,
director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee, stockholder, member or partner,
in each case in excess of $120,000 other than for: (i) payment of salary or consulting fees for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement
for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company and (iii) other employee benefits, including stock option agreements under any stock

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


 


(s)                Certain
Fees. Other than as set forth on Schedule 3.1(s), no brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will
be payable by the Company or any Subsidiaries to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement
agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
The Purchasers shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other
Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this Section that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by
the Transaction Documents.


 


(t)                Private
Placement. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2, no registration
under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Securities by the Company to the Purchasers as contemplated
hereby. The issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder does not contravene the rules and regulations of the Trading Market.


 


(u)               Investment
Company. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Securities, will
not be or be an Affiliate of, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become an “investment company” subject
to registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.


 


(v)              
Registration Rights. Other than as disclosed on Schedule 3.1(v), no Person has any right to cause the Company
to effect the registration under the Securities Act of any securities of the Company or any Subsidiaries.


 


(w)           
   Listing and Maintenance Requirements. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange
Act, and the Company has taken no action designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the
registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission is contemplating
terminating such registration. The Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received notice from any Trading
Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing
or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable
future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements.


 






    	13



    	 



    

  


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


 


(y)               Disclosure. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents, the Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers or
their agents or counsel with any information that it believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information.
The Company understands and confirms that the Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting transactions in
securities of the Company. All of the disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers regarding the Company
and its Subsidiaries, their respective businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Disclosure Schedules
to this Agreement, 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 therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
The press releases disseminated by the Company during the twelve months preceding the date of this Agreement taken as a whole do
not 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made and when made, not misleading.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser makes or has made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 3.2 hereof.


 


(z)               
No Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in
Section 3.2, neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor 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 cause this
offering of the Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of (i) the Securities Act which would
require the registration of any such securities under the Securities Act, or (ii) any applicable shareholder approval provisions
of any Trading Market on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated. 


 


(aa)             
Solvency. Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, after giving effect
to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder: (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s
assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities
(including known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital
to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular
capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital availability
thereof, and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate
all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in
respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability
to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).
The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation
under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date. Schedule 3.1(aa)
sets forth as of the date hereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which
the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness” means (x)
any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $250,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary
course of business), (y) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of indebtedness of others, whether
or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties
by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business;
and (z) the present value of any lease payments in excess of $250,000 due under leases required to be capitalized in accordance
with GAAP. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.

are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of
the Company or of any Subsidiary know of no basis for any such claim.

General Solicitation. Neither the Company nor any person acting on behalf of the Company has offered or sold any of the Securities
by any form of general solicitation or general advertising. The Company has offered the Securities for sale only to the Purchasers
and certain other “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act.

Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor to the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary, any agent

unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns

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


 


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


 


(b)              
 Own Account. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not
been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for
its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the
Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation
of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any
other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable
state securities law (this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities in compliance
with applicable federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course
of its business.


 


(c)               
Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is,
and on each date on which it converts any Notes it will be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2),
(a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act.


 


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


 


(e)                General Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article,
notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over
television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

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


 


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

other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in
connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company
an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred
Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the
terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement.


 


(b)              
The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Securities
in the following form:


 






    	19



    	 



    

 


 


[NEITHER] THIS SECURITY [NOR THE SECURITIES
INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS CONVERTIBLE] HAS [NOT] BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES
COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES
ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH
EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THIS SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION
OF THIS SECURITY] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH
A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER
LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.


 


The Company acknowledges
and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer
or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor”
as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and, if required
under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties.
Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee,
secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the
appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured
party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities.


 


(c)               
Certificates evidencing the Underlying Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b)
hereof): (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of the Underlying Shares is effective under the Securities Act,
(ii) following any sale of such Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements
of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company
shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly after any of the events described in (i)-(iii)
in the preceding sentence if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder (with a copy to the applicable
Purchaser and its broker). If all or any portion of the Notes is converted or Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective
registration statement to cover the resale of the Underlying Shares, or if such Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule 144 or
if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations
and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such Underlying Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The
Company agrees that following such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than
three (3) Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing
Underlying Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”),
deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and
other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the
restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4. Certificates for Underlying Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall
be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository
Trust Company System as directed by such Purchaser.

(d)               
In addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, as partial
liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Underlying Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date
such Securities are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.1(c),
$10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each
Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend. Nothing herein shall limit such
Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing any Securities
as required by the Transaction Documents, and such Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law
or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.


 


4.2             
 Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further
acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Underlying
Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim,
delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against any Purchaser and regardless
of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.


 


4.3              
Furnishing of Information; Public Information.


 


(a)               
Until the earliest of the time that no Purchaser owns Securities, the Company covenants to maintain the registration of
the Common Stock under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and
file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the
Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.


 


(b)               At any time
during the period commencing from the six (6) month anniversary of the date hereof and ending at such time that all of the Securities
may be sold without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without restriction or
limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if the Company shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement
under Rule 144(c) (a “Public Information Failure”) then, in addition to such Purchaser’s other available
remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such
delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Securities, an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate Subscription
Amount of such Purchaser’s Securities on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth (30th)
day (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the earlier of (a) the date such Public Information
Failure is cured and (b) such time that such public information is no longer required  for the Purchasers to transfer the
Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144.  The payments to which a Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.3(b)
are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure Payments.”  Public Information Failure Payments
shall be paid on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure Payments
are incurred and (ii) the third (3rd) Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information
Failure Payments is cured.  In the event the Company fails to make Public Information Failure Payments in a
timely manner, such Public Information Failure Payments shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (prorated for
partial months) until paid in full. Nothing herein shall limit such Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Public
Information Failure, and such Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including,
without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.


 






    	21



    	 



    

  


4.4             
Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect
of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities
in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities or that would be integrated
with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require
shareholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing
of such subsequent transaction.


 


4.5             
Conversion Procedures. Each of the form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants and the form of Notice of
Conversion included in the Notes sets forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to exercise
the Warrants or convert the Notes. Without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original Notice of Conversion shall be required,
nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be required in
order to exercise the Warrants or convert the Notes. Except as provided in Section 4.1(c), no additional legal opinion, other information
or instructions shall be required of the Purchasers to exercise their Warrants or convert their Notes. The Company shall honor
exercises of the Warrants and conversions of the Notes and shall deliver Underlying Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions
and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents..


 


4.6             
Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall (a) by 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Trading
Day immediately following the Closing, issue a press release disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby
and (b) file a Current Report on Form 8-K, including the Transaction Documents as exhibits thereto, with the Commission within
the time required by the Exchange Act. From and after the issuance of such press release, the Company represents to the Purchasers
that it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to any of the Purchasers by the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company and each Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any other press
releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any such press
release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release
of any Purchaser, or without the prior consent of each Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent
shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party
shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the
Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except to the extent
such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior
notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b).


 






    	22



    	 



    

  


4.7             
Shareholder Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any
other Person, that any Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination,
poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter
adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue
of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers.


 


4.8             
Non-Public Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf, will
provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information,
unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have entered into a written agreement with the Company regarding the confidentiality
and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant
in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.


 


4.9             
Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds hereunder as set forth on Schedule 4.9 attached hereto,
and shall not use such proceeds: (a) for the satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s debt (other than payment of trade
payables in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and prior practices), (b) for the redemption of any Common Stock
or Common Stock Equivalents, (c) for the settlement of any outstanding litigation or (d) in violation of FCPA or OFAC regulations.


 


 






    	23



    	 



    

 


4.10         
Indemnification of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Company will indemnify and hold
each Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (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), each Person
who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the
directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or 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 such controlling persons (each,
a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages,
costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and
costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of
the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents
or (b) any action instituted against the Purchaser Parties in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any
stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties
or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such stockholder
or any violations by such Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which constitutes
fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect
of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing,
and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the
Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the
defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent
that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a
reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion
of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party,
in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel.
The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected
without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but
only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction
Documents. The indemnification required by this Section 4.10 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the
course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein
shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities
the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.


 


4.11           
Reservation and Listing of Securities.


 


(a)               The Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction
Documents in such amount as may then be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents.


 


(b)               
If, on any date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) shares of Common Stock is less than 200%
of the Required Minimum on such date, then the Board of Directors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Company’s
certificate or articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock so that at least
200% of the Required Minimum shares of Common Stock are available for issuance upon conversion of this Note and payment of interest
on this Note at such time at such time, as soon as possible and in any event not later than the 75th day after such date.


 






    	24



    	 



    

 


 


(c)              
The Company shall, if applicable: (i) in the time and manner required by the principal Trading Market, prepare and file
with such Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to
the Required Minimum on the date of such application, (ii) take all steps necessary to cause such shares of Common Stock to be
approved for listing or quotation on such Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter, (iii) provide to the Purchasers evidence
of such listing or quotation and (iv) maintain the listing or quotation of such Common Stock on any date at least equal to the
Required Minimum on such date on such Trading Market or another Trading Market.


 


4.12            
Participation in Future Financing.


 


(a)                Subject
to any existing obligations of the Company, from the date hereof until the date that is the 12-month anniversary of the Closing,
upon any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock, Common Stock Equivalents or debt for cash consideration,
Indebtedness or a combination of units hereof, other than any issuance that is through a public underwritten offering or to an
investor or a group of investors that already own Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (a “Subsequent Financing”),
each Purchaser shall have the right to participate in the Subsequent Financing in an amount up to 100% of such Purchaser’s
Subscription Amount (the “Participation Maximum”) on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the
Subsequent Financing.


 


(b)                At least five (5) Trading Days prior to the closing of the Subsequent Financing, the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser
a written notice of its intention to effect a Subsequent Financing (“Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall ask
such Purchaser if it wants to review the details of such financing (such additional notice, a “Subsequent Financing Notice”).
Upon the request of a Purchaser within two (2) Trading Days after the Pre-Notice, and only upon a request by such Purchaser, for
a Subsequent Financing Notice, the Company shall promptly, but no later than one (1) Trading Day after such request, deliver a
Subsequent Financing Notice to such Purchaser. The Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed
terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder and the Person or Persons through or
with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected and shall include a term sheet or similar document relating thereto
as an attachment.


 


(c)               
Any Purchaser desiring to participate in such Subsequent Financing must provide written notice to the Company no later than
two (2) Trading Days after delivery of such Subsequent Financing Notice that such Purchaser is willing to participate in the Subsequent
Financing, the amount of such Purchaser’s participation, and representing and warranting that such Purchaser has such funds
ready, willing, and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.


 


(d)               
If notifications by the Purchasers of their willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing (or to cause their designees
to participate) is, in the aggregate, less than the total amount of the Subsequent Financing, then the Company may effect the remaining
portion of such Subsequent Financing on the terms and with the Persons set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.


 






    	25



    	 



    

  


(e)               
If the Company receives responses to a Subsequent Financing Notice from Purchasers seeking to purchase more than the aggregate
amount of the Participation Maximum, each such Purchaser shall have the right to purchase its Pro Rata Portion (as defined below)
of the Participation Maximum.  “Pro Rata Portion” means the ratio of (x) the Subscription Amount of Securities
purchased by a Purchaser participating under this Section 4.12 and (y) the sum of the aggregate Subscription Amounts of Securities
purchased by all Purchasers participating under this Section 4.12.


 


(f)                
The Company must provide the Purchasers with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and the Purchasers will again have the
right of participation set forth above in this Section 4.12, if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent Financing
Notice is not consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within thirty (30) Trading
Days after the date of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice.


 


(g)             
  The Company and each Purchaser agree that if any Purchaser elects to participate in the Subsequent Financing,
the transaction documents related to the Subsequent Financing shall not include any term or provision whereby such Purchaser
shall be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any of the Securities purchased hereunder or be required to
consent to any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver, release or the like under or in connection with, this
Agreement, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser.


 


(h)                 Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 4.12 and unless otherwise agreed to by such Purchaser, the Company shall either
confirm in writing to such Purchaser that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been abandoned or
shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the securities in the Subsequent Financing, in either case in such a
manner such that such Purchaser will not be in possession of any material, non-public information, by the tenth (10th)
Business Day following delivery of the Subsequent Financing Notice. If by such tenth (10th) Business Day, no public
disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been made, and no notice regarding the
abandonment of such transaction has been received by such Purchaser, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned
and such Purchaser shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 


 


(i)             
    Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.12 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance.


 


4.13             
Equal Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) shall be
offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same
consideration is also offered to all of the parties to this Agreement. Further, the Company shall not make any payment of principal
or interest on the Notes in amounts which are disproportionate to the respective principal amounts outstanding on the Notes at
any applicable time. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company
and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in
any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities
or otherwise.






    	26



    	 



    

 


 


4.14             
Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants
that neither it, nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will (i) execute any Short Sales,
of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time
that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described
in Section 4.6 and (ii) execute any Short Sales of the Common Stock from the date hereof until the earlier of (x) the 12 month
anniversary of the date hereof and (y) the date that the Notes are no longer outstanding (provided that this provision shall not
prohibit any sales made where a corresponding Notice of Conversion is tendered to the Company and the shares received upon such
conversion are used to close out such sale) (a “Prohibited Short Sale”).  Each Purchaser, severally and
not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly
disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.6, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality
of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in the Transaction Documents and the Disclosure Schedules.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company expressly
acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in
effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are
first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.6, (ii) except for a Prohibited Short
Sale, no Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance
with applicable securities laws from and after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly
announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.6 and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality
to the Company or its Subsidiaries after the issuance of the initial press release as described in Section 4.6.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage
separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions
made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only
apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the
Securities covered by this Agreement.


 


4.15             
Form D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under
Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of any Purchaser. The Company shall 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 Purchasers
at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide
evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any Purchaser.

only and without any effect whatsoever on the obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the

Securities then outstanding or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is
sought. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be
a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement
hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such
right.

and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of each Purchaser (other than by merger). Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any

No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective

Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction
Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without
regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations,
enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought
against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents)
shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits
to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication
of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with
respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any
suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit,
action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal
service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered
or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under
this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If either
party shall commence an action, suit or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then, in addition to
the obligations of the Company under Section 4.10, the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed
by the other party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation
and prosecution of such action or proceeding.


 


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


 


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

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


 


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


 


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


 


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

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


 


5.17         
Usury. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner
whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever
enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any claim, action or proceeding that may be brought by any Purchaser
in order to enforce any right or remedy under any Transaction Document. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained
in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction
Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the
“Maximum Rate”), and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest,
or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the
Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable
to the Transaction Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof,
the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents from
the effective date thereof forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under any circumstances whatsoever,
interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to any Purchaser with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction
Documents, such excess shall be applied by such Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded
to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at such Purchaser’s election.


 


5.18         
Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction
Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way
for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained
herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to
constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption
that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without
limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for
any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented
by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience
only, each Purchaser and its respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company through Robinson Brog. The Company
has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not
because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers.

5.19         
Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing
under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated
damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial
liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.


 


5.20         
Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc.If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration
of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised
on the next succeeding Business Day.


 


5.21         
Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity
to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be
resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments
thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be
subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions
of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement.


 


5.22         
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY
OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY,
UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.
