PURCHASE AND SALE


 





2.1          
Closing. On the Closing Date, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, substantially concurrent with
the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto, the Company agrees to sell, and the Purchasers, severally and
not jointly, agree to purchase, up to an aggregate of $6,000,000 of Class A Units as determined pursuant to Section 2.2(a); provided,
however, that, to the extent that a Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion, that such Purchaser (together with such Purchaser’s
Affiliates, and any Person acting as a group together with such purchaser or any of such Holder’s Affiliates) would beneficially
own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, or as such Purchaser may otherwise choose, in lieu of purchasing Class A
Units such Purchaser may elect to purchase Class B Units at the Class B Unit Purchase Price in lieu of Class A Units in such manner
to result in the same aggregate purchase price being paid by such Purchaser to the Company. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”
shall be 4.99% (or, at the election of the Purchaser, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately
after giving effect to the issuance of the Securities on the Closing Date. Each Purchaser’s Subscription Amount as set forth
on the signature page hereto executed by such Purchaser shall be made available for “Delivery Versus Payment” (“DVP”)
settlement with the Company or its designee. The Company shall deliver to each Purchaser its respective Shares and/or Pre-Funded
Warrants and a Common Warrant as determined pursuant to Section 2.2(a), and the Company and each Purchaser shall deliver the other
items set forth in Section 2.2 deliverable at the Closing. Upon satisfaction of the covenants and conditions set forth in Sections
2.2 and 2.3, the Closing shall occur at the offices of EGS or such other location as the parties shall mutually agree. Each Purchaser
acknowledges that, concurrently with the Closing and pursuant to the Prospectus, the Company may sell up to $6,000,000 of additional
Units to purchasers substantially concurrent with this Purchase Agreement, less the aggregate dollar amount of Units sold pursuant
to this Agreement; provided, the Company will issue to each other purchaser Units in the same form and at the same Class A Unit
Purchase Price or Class B Unit Purchase Price, as the case may be, as issued to a Purchaser hereunder. The Company covenants that,
if the Purchaser delivers a Notice of Exercise (as defined in the Pre-Funded Warrant) no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time)
on the Closing Date to exercise any Pre-Funded Warrants between the date hereof and the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver
Pre-Funded Warrant Shares to the Purchaser on the Closing Date in connection with such Notice of Exercise. Unless otherwise directed
by the Placement Agent, settlement of the Shares shall occur via DVP (i.e., on the Closing Date, the Company shall issue the Shares
registered in the Purchasers’ names and addresses and released by the Transfer Agent directly to the account(s) at the Placement
Agent identified by each Purchaser; upon receipt of such Shares, the Placement Agent shall promptly electronically deliver such
Shares to the applicable Purchaser, and payment therefor shall be made by the Placement Agent (or its clearing firm) by wire transfer
to the Company). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereunder, to the extent that a Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion,
that such Purchaser (together with such Purchaser's Affiliates, and any Person acting as a group together with such purchaser or
any of such Holder's Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of Beneficial Ownership Limitation on the Closing Date, such
Purchaser may elect to receive only the Beneficial Ownership Limitation at the Closing with the balance of any share purchased
hereunder, if any, held in abeyance for such Purchaser and issued immediately following the Closing provided in no event shall
such Purchaser's beneficial ownership ever exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where the failure to be in compliance

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

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.

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

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

designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the

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

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. The Common Stock is currently eligible
for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation and the Company is current
in payment of the fees to the Depository Trust Company (or such other established clearing corporation) in connection with such
electronic transfer.

(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
which is not otherwise disclosed in the Prospectus Supplement. 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 the
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 the 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 any applicable shareholder approval
provisions of any Trading Market on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.


 






    18


     


    

 


(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 $50,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in
the ordinary course of business), (y) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of
indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s consolidated 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 $50,000 due
under leases required to be capitalized in accordance with GAAP. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with
respect to any Indebtedness.

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


 


(cc)         Foreign
Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor to the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary, any

activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or
domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any contribution made by the

law, or (iv) violated in any material respect any provision of FCPA.

Exchange Act and (ii) shall express its opinion with respect to the financial statements to be included in the Company’s
Annual Report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019.


 


(ee)         Acknowledgment
Regarding Purchasers’ Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each of the Purchasers is acting
solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated
thereby. The Company further acknowledges that no Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in
any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby and any advice given
by any Purchaser or any of their respective representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions
contemplated thereby is merely incidental to the Purchasers’ purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents
to each Purchaser that the Company’s decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents has been
based solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company and its representatives.


 


(ff)        
Acknowledgment Regarding Purchaser’s Trading Activity. Anything
in this Agreement or elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding (except for Sections 3.2(f) and 4.12 hereof), it is understood
and acknowledged by the Company that: (i) none of the Purchasers has been asked by the Company to agree, nor has any Purchaser
agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling, long and/or short, securities of the Company, or “derivative” securities
based on securities issued by the Company or to hold the Securities for any specified term; (ii) past or future open market or
other transactions by any Purchaser, specifically including, without limitation, Short Sales or “derivative” transactions,
before or after the closing of this or future private placement transactions, may negatively impact the market price of the Company’s
publicly-traded securities; (iii) any Purchaser, and counter-parties in “derivative” transactions to which any such
Purchaser is a party, directly or indirectly, presently may have a “short” position in the Common Stock, and (iv)
each Purchaser shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counter-party in any “derivative”
transaction. The Company further understands and acknowledges that (y) one or more Purchasers may engage in hedging activities
at various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, including, without limitation, during the periods that
the value of the Warrant Shares deliverable with respect to Securities are being determined, and (z) such hedging activities (if
any) could reduce the value of the existing stockholders' equity interests in the Company at and after the time that the hedging
activities are being conducted. The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute a breach
of any of the Transaction Documents.

the Company’s placement agent in connection with the placement of the Securities and, in the case of clause (iii), compensation
paid with respect to prior completed offerings of the Company’s securities.

investigational use, premarket clearance, licensure, or application approval, good manufacturing practices, good laboratory practices,
good clinical practices, product listing, quotas, labeling, advertising, record keeping and filing of reports, except where the

threatened, action (including any lawsuit, arbitration, or legal or administrative or regulatory proceeding, charge, complaint,
or investigation) against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has received
any notice, warning letter or other communication from the FDA or any other governmental entity, which (i) contests the premarket

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,
in which case they shall be accurate as of such date):


 






    22


     


    

 


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


 


(c)              
Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is,
and on each date on which it exercises any Warrants, it will be 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)              
Access to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents
(including all exhibits and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded, (i) the opportunity to ask such questions
as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions
of the offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information about the
Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable
it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can
acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment.
Such Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that neither the Placement Agent nor any Affiliate of the Placement Agent has provided
such Purchaser with any information or advice with respect to the Securities nor is such information or advice necessary or desired.
Neither the Placement Agent nor any Affiliate has made or makes any representation as to the Company or the quality of the Securities
and the Placement Agent and any Affiliate may have acquired non-public information with respect to the Company which such Purchaser
agrees need not be provided to it. In connection with the issuance of the Securities to such Purchaser, neither the Placement
Agent nor any of its Affiliates has acted as a financial advisor or fiduciary to such Purchaser.


 






    23


     


    

 


(f)               
Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser
has not, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed
any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time
that such Purchaser first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company
setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio
managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment
decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth
above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision
to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement or to such Purchaser’s
representatives, including, without limitation, its officers, directors, partners, legal and other advisors, employees, agents
and Affiliates, 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 the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained
herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to locating or borrowing shares in
order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.


 


The Company acknowledges
and agrees that the representations contained in this 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 transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt,
nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to locating or borrowing
shares in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.

ARTICLE IV.


OTHER AGREEMENTS
OF THE PARTIES


 


4.1             
Warrant Shares. If all or any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration
statement to cover the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares or if the Warrant is exercised via cashless exercise, the Warrant
Shares issued pursuant to any such exercise shall be issued free of all legends. If at any time following the date hereof the Registration
Statement (or any subsequent registration statement registering the sale or resale of the Warrant Shares) is not effective or is
not otherwise available for the sale or resale of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall immediately notify the holders of the Warrants
in writing that such registration statement is not then effective and thereafter shall promptly notify such holders when the registration
statement is effective again and available for the sale or resale of the Warrant Shares (it being understood and agreed that the
foregoing shall not limit the ability of the Company to issue, or any Purchaser to sell, any of the Warrant Shares in compliance
with applicable federal and state securities laws). The Company shall use best efforts to keep a registration statement (including
the Registration Statement) registering the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares effective during the term of the Warrants.


 


4.2             
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
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.


 


4.3             
Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall (a) by the Disclosure Time, 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. In addition, effective upon
the issuance of such press release, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations
under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers,
directors, agents, employees or Affiliates on the one hand, and any of the Purchasers or any of their Affiliates on the other
hand, shall terminate. 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, unless such information has previously been disclosed
in accordance with this Section 4.3. 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 (a) as required by federal securities law in connection with the filing of final
Transaction Documents with the Commission and (b) 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).


 






    25


     


    

 


4.4             
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.


 


4.5             
Non-Public Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents, which shall be disclosed pursuant to Section 4.3, 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 constitutes,
or the Company reasonably believes constitutes, material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have
consented to the receipt of such information and agreed with the Company to keep such information confidential. The Company understands
and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
To the extent that the Company delivers any material, non-public information to a Purchaser without such Purchaser’s consent,
the Company hereby covenants and agrees that such Purchaser shall not have any duty of confidentiality to the Company, any of its
Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates, or a duty to the Company, any of
its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates not to trade on the basis of,
such material, non-public information, provided that the Purchaser shall remain subject to applicable law. To the extent that any
notice provided pursuant to any Transaction Document constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company
or any Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form
8-K. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions
in securities of the Company.


 


4.6             
Use of Proceeds. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.6 attached hereto, the Company shall use the net proceeds
from the sale of the Securities hereunder for working capital purposes 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.


 






    26


     


    

 


4.7             
Indemnification of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.7, 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 solely based upon a material 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 is finally judicially determined to constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct). 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 4.7 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.


 


4.8              Listing
of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Stock
on the Trading Market on which it is currently listed, and concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall apply to list or
quote all of the Shares and Warrant Shares on such Trading Market and promptly secure the listing of all of the Shares and
Warrant Shares on such Trading Market. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on
any other Trading Market, it will then include in such application all of the Shares and Warrant Shares, and will take
such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Shares and Warrant Shares to be listed or quoted on such other Trading
Market as promptly as possible. The Company will then take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and
trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing
and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market. The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the
Common Stock for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation,
including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing
corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.


 






    27


     


    

 


4.9             
Exercise Procedures. The form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants set forth the totality of the procedures
required of the Purchasers in order to exercise the Warrants. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall
be required of the Purchasers to exercise their Warrants. Without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original Notice of Exercise
shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form
be required in order to exercise the Warrants. The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and shall deliver Warrant Shares
in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.


 


4.10         
Subsequent Equity Sales.


 





(a)              
From the date hereof until the 90 Trading Day anniversary of the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall issue,
enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents,
which shall include the filing of any new registration statement other than the filing a registration statement, or amendment to
a registration statement, on Form S-4 or Form S-8.




 





(b)              
From the date hereof until the three (3) year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or
entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
(or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction
in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for,
or include the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange
rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at
any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that
is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence
of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock
or (ii) enters into, or effects a transaction under, any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby
the Company may issue securities at a future determined price; provided, however, that, after the ninetieth (90th)
Trading Day following the Closing Date, the Company’s issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to an at-the-market offering
facility shall not be deemed a Variable Rate Transaction hereunder. Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief
against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.




 






    28


     


    

 


(c)              
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.10 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable
Rate Transaction shall be an Exempt Issuance


 


4.11         
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 the Transaction Documents unless
the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to such Transaction Document. 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 Shares or otherwise.


 


4.12         
Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants
that neither it nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales,
including Short Sales of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement
and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial
press release as described in Section 4.3.  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 4.3, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality
of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in 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 4.3, (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from effecting
any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from and after the time that the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in
Section 4.3 and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality or duty not to trade in the securities of the Company
to the Company or its Subsidiaries after the issuance of the initial press release as described in Section 4.3.  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
Shares covered by this Agreement.


 


4.13         
Furnishing of Information. Until the earliest of the time that (i) no Purchaser owns Securities or (ii) the Warrants
have expired, the Company covenants 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.

8-K.

5.5             
Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a
written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and Purchasers which purchased at least 75% in interest
of the Shares based on the initial Subscription Amounts hereunder or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement
of any such waived provision is sought, provided that if any amendment, modification or waiver disproportionately and adversely
impacts a Purchaser (or group of Purchasers), the consent of such disproportionately impacted Purchaser (or group of Purchasers)
shall also be required. 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. Any proposed amendment or waiver that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the rights and obligations
of any Purchaser relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Purchasers shall require the prior written consent
of such adversely affected Purchaser. Any amendment effected in accordance with this Section 5.5 shall be binding upon each Purchaser
and holder of Securities and the Company.


 


5.6             
Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not

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


 


5.8             
No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Placement Agent shall be the third-party beneficiary of the representations and
warranties of the Company in Section 3.1 and the representations and warranties of the Purchasers in Section 3.2. This Agreement
is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit
of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.7 and this Section
5.8.


 


5.9              Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents
shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard
to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal Proceedings concerning the
interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction
Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners,
members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York.
Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of
New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any
transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction
Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Action or Proceeding, any claim that it is not
personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such 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 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 any party shall commence an
Action or Proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then, in addition to the obligations of the
Company under Section 4.7, the prevailing party in such Action or Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing 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 Closing and the delivery of the Securities.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 






    32


     


    

 


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


 






    33


     


    

 


5.18         
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.


 


5.19         
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.


 


5.20         
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.


 


5.21         
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.
