ARTICLE III.


REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES


 


3.1          Representations
and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with each of the Purchasers that as of the
date of this Agreement, unless such representation, warranty or agreement specifies a different time:


 


(a)           Registration
Statement and Prospectus. The Company and, assuming no act or omission on the part of a Purchaser that would make such statement
untrue, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement meet the requirements for and comply with the conditions for the use of
Form S-3 under the Securities Act. The Registration Statement has been filed with the Commission and has been declared effective
under the Securities Act. No stop order of the Commission preventing or suspending any Prospectus, or the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement, has been issued, and, to the Company’s knowledge, no proceedings for such purpose have been instituted
by the Commission. The Registration Statement and, assuming no act or omission on the part of a Purchaser that would make such
statement untrue, the offer and sale of Shares as contemplated hereby meet the requirements of Rule 415 under the Securities
Act and comply in all material respects with Rule 415. Any statutes, regulations, contracts or other documents that are required
to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement have been
so described or filed. Copies of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, and any such amendments or supplements and all documents
incorporated by reference therein that were filed with the Commission on or prior to the date of this Agreement have been delivered,
or are available through EDGAR, to each Purchaser and its counsel. The Company has not distributed and, prior to the Closing Date,
will not distribute any offering material in connection with the offering or sale of the Shares other than the Registration Statement
and the Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to which each Purchaser has consented, any such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Common Stock is currently listed on the Exchange under the trading symbol “TXCC”.
Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, including the Incorporated Documents, the Company has not, in the 12 months
preceding the date hereof, received notice from the Exchange to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing
or maintenance requirements. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, including the Incorporated Documents, or the Prospectus,
the Company 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.

(b)          No
Misstatement or Omission. The Registration Statement, when it became effective, and the Prospectus, and any amendment or supplement

requirements of the Securities Act. On the Closing Date, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as of such date, will conform
in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act. The Registration Statement, when it became effective, did
not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading. The Prospectus and any amendment and supplement thereto, on the date thereof and
on the Closing Date, did not or will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The documents incorporated
by reference in the Prospectus did not, and any further documents filed and incorporated by reference therein will not, when filed
with the Commission, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated in such
document or necessary to make the statements in such document, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
The foregoing shall not apply to statements in, or omissions from, any such document made in reliance upon, and in conformity with,
information furnished to the Company by a Purchaser expressly for use therein.


 


(c)          Conformity
with Exchange Act. The documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or
supplement thereto, when such documents were or are filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act, conformed or will conform

Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied,

the Company contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus are accurately and fairly presented

of organization. The Company is, and will be, duly qualified as a foreign corporation for transaction of business and in good standing
under the laws of each other jurisdiction in which its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its businesses requires
such qualification, and has all corporate power and authority necessary to own or hold its properties and to conduct its businesses
as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing
or have such power or authority would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to have, a material
adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, financial condition, prospects, stockholder’s equity or results of
operations of the Company taken as a whole, or prevent or materially interfere with consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby (a “Material Adverse Effect”).


 


(g)          Subsidiaries.

party or by which the Company is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company is subject; or (iii) in violation
of any law or statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority
having jurisdiction over the Company, except, in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for any such violation or default
that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The execution and delivery
of this Agreement by the Company and the performance of its obligations hereunder shall not cause a default under any agreement
or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the
Company is subject, except for any such default that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect.

fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission

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 a Purchaser 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, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser's representations, warranties or covenants under
the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser may have with any such stockholder or any violations
by such Purchaser of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser which is otherwise actionable). 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, (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.


 


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


 






    	20



    	 



    
 


4.9          Listing
of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on
the Exchange, and concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall apply to list or quote all of the Shares on the Exchange and
promptly secure the listing of all of the Shares on the Exchange. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the
Common Stock traded on any other trading market, it will include in such application all of the Shares, and will take such other
action as is necessary to cause all of the 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
such trading market.


 


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


 


4.11          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
all information provided in connection therewith. 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
to the Company 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 Securities covered by this Agreement.

or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay
or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

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


 


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


 


5.8          No
Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors
and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise
set forth in Section 4.7.


 


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, 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 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 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 Closing and the delivery of the Securities for the applicable
statute of limitations.


 






    	23



    	 



    
 


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 the other party, it being
understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission
or by e-mail delivery of a ".pdf" format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the
party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or ".pdf"
signature page 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          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.


 


5.14          Remedies.
In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of
the Purchsers 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.


 


5.15          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.


 






    	24



    	 



    
 


5.16          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 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 their review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. 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.


 


5.17          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.


 


5.18          Construction.
The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has 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 hereto. 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.


 


5.19          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.
