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

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

(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 $200,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary
course of business), 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.
Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.

(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.

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

that such registration statement is not then effective and thereafter shall promptly notify such holders when the registration

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 (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).

4.5 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.


 


4.6 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 4.4, 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.


 


4.7 Use
of Proceeds. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.7 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.


 




    23


     


    

 


4.8 Indemnification
of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.8, 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 4.8 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.


 


4.9 Reservation
of Common Stock. The Company shall maintain a reserve of the Required Minimum 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.


 




    24


     


    

 


4.10 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.


 


4.11 Participation
in Future Financing.


 


(a) From
the date hereof until the date that is the 12-month anniversary of the Closing Date, upon any issuance by the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents for cash consideration, Indebtedness or a combination of units thereof
(a “Subsequent Financing”), each Purchaser shall have the right to participate in up to an amount of the Subsequent
Financing equal to 50% of the Subsequent Financing (the “Participation Maximum”) on the same terms, conditions
and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing, subject to Section 4.11(e). For the avoidance of doubt, the Participation
Maximum applies to each Purchaser individually and all Purchasers collectively.


 


(b) Between
the time period of 4:00 pm (New York City time) and 6:00 pm (New York City time) on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Trading
Day of the expected announcement of the Subsequent Financing (or, if the Trading Day of the expected announcement of the Subsequent
Financing is the first Trading Day following a holiday or a weekend (including a holiday weekend), between the time period of 4:00
pm (New York City time) on the Trading Day immediately prior to such holiday or weekend and 2:00 pm (New York City time) on the
day immediately prior to the Trading Day of the expected announcement of the Subsequent Financing), the Company shall deliver to
each Purchaser a written notice of the Company’s intention to effect a Subsequent Financing (a “Subsequent Financing
Notice”), which 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 and transaction documents relating thereto as an attachment.


 




    25


     


    

 


(c) Any
Purchaser desiring to participate in such Subsequent Financing must provide written notice to the Company by 6:30 am (New York
City time) on the Trading Day following the date on which the Subsequent Financing Notice is delivered to such Purchaser (the “Notice
Termination Time”) 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. If the Company receives no such notice from a Purchaser as of such Notice
Termination Time, such Purchaser shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it does not elect to participate in such Subsequent
Financing.


 


(d) If,
by the Notice Termination Time, 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.


 


(e) If,
by the Notice Termination Time, the Company receives responses to a Subsequent Financing Notice from Purchasers seeking to purchase,
in the aggregate, more than 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 on the Closing Date by a Purchaser participating under this Section 4.11 and (y) the sum of the
aggregate Subscription Amounts of Securities purchased on the Closing Date by all Purchasers participating under this Section 4.11.


 


(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 4.11, if the definitive agreement related to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice
is not entered into for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within two (2) Trading Days after
the date of delivery 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 that, directly or indirectly, will, or is intended
to, exclude one or more of the Purchasers from participating in a Subsequent Financing, including, but not limited to, provisions
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. In addition, the Company and each Purchaser agree that,
in connection with a Subsequent Financing, the transaction documents related to the Subsequent Financing shall include a requirement
for the Company to issue a widely disseminated press release by 9:30 am (New York City time) on the Trading Day of execution of
the transaction documents in such Subsequent Financing (or, if the date of execution is not a Trading Day, on the immediately following
Trading Day) that discloses the material terms of the transactions contemplated by the transaction documents in such Subsequent
Financing.


 




    26


     


    

 


(h) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 4.11 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 9:30 am (New York City time) on the second (2nd) Trading
Day following date of delivery of the Subsequent Financing Notice. If by 9:30 am (New York City time) on such second (2nd) Trading
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 4.11 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance.


 


4.12 Subsequent
Equity Sales.


 


(a) From
the date hereof until 180 days after 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.


 


(b) From
the date hereof until such time as no Purchaser holds any of the Warrants, 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. 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.


 




    27


     


    

 


(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 4.12 shall not apply in respect of (i) an Exempt Issuance, (ii) an issuance of Common Stock for a fixed
price of at least $1.50 per share, subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits and the like, (iii) an underwritten
fully marketed public offering of the Company’s securities that closes contemporaneous with the listing of the Common Stock
on the NYSE American, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, or the New York Stock
Exchange (iv) an unregistered offering of debt or equity provided that such issuance does not have any registration rights and
is not registered for resale thereafter. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall any of the aforementioned
exceptions allow for a Variable Rate Transaction.


 


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 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.


 


4.14 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 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 4.4. Following such public announcement until such date that such Purchaser no longer holds and Shares
or Warrant, such 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 Short Sales of any of the Company’s securities. 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 4.4, 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 4.4, (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 4.4 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 4.4.  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.


 




    28


     


    

 


4.15 Capital
Changes. Until the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company shall not undertake a reverse or forward stock split
or reclassification of the Common Stock without the prior written consent of the Purchasers holding a majority in interest of the
Shares, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld in the event of a proposed uplisting to a national exchange.


 


4.16 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.


 


4.17 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 Shares and Warrant 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.


 


ARTICLE V.

MISCELLANEOUS


 


5.1 Termination. 
This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder only and without any effect
whatsoever on the obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other parties, if the Closing
has not been consummated on or before the fifth (5th) Trading Day following the date hereof; provided, however,
that no such termination will affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by any other party (or parties).


 


5.2 Fees
and Expenses. At the Closing, the Company has agreed to reimburse Ionic Ventures LLC (“Ionic”) the non-accountable
sum of $25,000 for its legal fees and expenses, $10,000 of which has been paid prior to the Closing. Accordingly, in lieu of the
foregoing payments, the aggregate amount that Ionic is to pay for the Securities at the Closing shall be reduced by $15,000 in
lieu thereof. The Company shall deliver to each Purchaser, prior to the Closing, a completed and executed copy of the Closing Statement,
attached hereto as Annex A. Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall
pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such
party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all
Transfer Agent fees (including, without limitation, any fees required for same-day processing of any instruction letter delivered
by the Company and any exercise notice delivered by a Purchaser), stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with
the delivery of any Securities to the Purchasers.


 




    29


     


    

 


5.3 Entire
Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement,
contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements
and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents,
exhibits and schedules.


 


5.4 Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and

via email attachment at the email address as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto at or prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York
City time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered

to a Current Report on Form 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 50.1% 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 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.”


 




    30


     


    

 


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 4.8 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 4.8, 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.


 




    31


     


    

 


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).


 


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 Ionic. 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.


 


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.
