RECITALS


 


WHEREAS,
the Company has agreed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, among other things, to issue to
the Sellers that number of newly issued shares of the common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common
Stock”), equal to 19.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the Closing Date, and to induce the
Sellers to enter into the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide certain registration rights under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, or any similar successor statute (collectively, the “Securities
Act”), and applicable state securities laws.


 


NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Sellers hereby agree as follows:


 


AGREEMENT


 


1.
DEFINITIONS.


 


As
used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:


 


a.
“Investor” means a Seller, any transferee or assignee thereof to whom such Seller assigns its rights under
this Agreement in accordance with Section 9 and who agrees to become bound by the provisions of this Agreement, and any
transferee or assignee thereof to whom a transferee or assignee assigns its rights under this Agreement in accordance with Section
9 and who agrees to become bound by the provisions of this Agreement.


 


b.
“Person” means any individual or entity including but not limited to any corporation, a limited liability company,
an association, a partnership, an organization, a business, an individual, a governmental or political subdivision thereof or
a governmental agency.


 


c.
“Register,” “registered,” and “registration” refer to a registration
effected by preparing and filing one or more registration statements of the Company in compliance with the Securities Act and
pursuant to Rule 415 or staff policy under the Securities Act or any successor rule providing for offering securities on a continuous
basis (“Rule 415”), and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such registration statement(s) by the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).


 


d. “Registrable

Trigger Milestones, and such shares are not issuable without legends and freely tradable under Rule 144 at the time of issuance
(without the need for the Company to be current in its SEC reporting requirements), then such 750,000 shares shall also be deemed
to be Registrable Securities and the Company shall register those shares for resale within 30 days of the issuance of such shares
on the same terms and conditions as are applicable to the shares issued as Common Stock Consideration.

e.
“Registration Statement” means one or more registration statements of the Company covering the sale of the
Registrable Securities.


 


2.
REGISTRATION.


 


a.
Mandatory Registration. The Company shall by the 30th day following the Closing, file with the SEC an initial Registration
Statement on Form S-3 (if such form is available for use by the Company at such time) or, otherwise, on Form S-1, covering all
of the Registrable Securities, or such amount as otherwise shall be permitted to be included thereon in accordance with applicable
SEC rules, regulations and interpretations so as to permit the resale of such Registrable Securities by the Investor under Rule
415 under the Securities Act at then prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices), as mutually determined by both the Company
and the Investors in consultation with their respective legal counsel. The Investors and their counsel shall have a reasonable
opportunity to review and comment upon such Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement
and any related prospectus prior to its filing with the SEC, and the Company shall give due consideration to all reasonable comments.
Each Investor shall furnish all information reasonably requested by the Company for inclusion therein. The Company shall use its
reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement and any amendments thereof declared effective by the SEC at the earliest
possible date. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415
promulgated under the Securities Act and available for the resale by the Investors of all of the Registrable Securities covered
thereby at all times from the initial filing date of the Registration Statement until the earlier of (i) the date on which the
Investors shall have sold all the Registrable Securities covered thereby (the “Registration Period”) and (ii)
the date that all Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any public information requirements or volume
or manner of sale limitations, all without limitations under Rule 144(i). The Registration Statement (including any amendments
or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any 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, in light of the circumstances
in which they were made, not misleading.


 


b.
Rule 424 Prospectus. The Company shall, as required by applicable securities regulations, from time to time file with the
SEC, pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, the prospectus and prospectus supplements, if any, to be used
in connection with sales of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement. Investors and their counsel shall have
a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such prospectus prior to its filing with the SEC, and the Company shall give
due consideration to all such comments. The Investors shall use their reasonable best efforts to comment upon such prospectus
within two (2) Business Days from the date the Investors receives the final pre-filing version of such prospectus.


 


c. Sufficient
Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of shares available under the Registration Statement is insufficient
to cover all of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall amend the Registration Statement or file a new Registration Statement
(a “New Registration Statement”), so as to cover all of such Registrable Securities (subject to the limitations
set forth in Section 2(a)) as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than forty-five (45) calendar days after
the necessity therefor arises, subject to any limits that may be imposed by the SEC pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities
Act. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause such amendment and/or New Registration Statement to become effective as soon
as practicable following the filing thereof.


 


d.
Offering. If the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) or the SEC seeks to characterize any offering pursuant
to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement as constituting an offering of securities that does not permit such
Registration Statement to become effective and be used for resales by the Investors under Rule 415 at then-prevailing market prices
(and not fixed prices), or if after the filing of the initial Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a),
the Company is otherwise required by the Staff or the SEC to reduce the number of Registrable Securities included in such initial
Registration Statement, then the Company shall reduce the number of Registerable Securities to be included in such initial Registration
Statement (with the prior consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, of the Investors and their legal counsel as to the
specific Registrable Securities to be removed therefrom) until such time as the Staff and the SEC shall so permit such Registration
Statement to become effective and be used as aforesaid. In the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this
paragraph, the Company shall file one or more New Registration Statements in accordance with Section 2(c) until such time
as all Registrable Securities have been included in Registration Statements that have been declared effective and the prospectus
contained therein is available for use by the Investors. Notwithstanding any provision herein or in the Purchase Agreement to
the contrary, the Company’s obligations to register Registrable Securities (and any related conditions to the Investor’s
obligations) shall be qualified as necessary to comport with any requirement of the SEC or the Staff as addressed in this Section
2(d).

3.
RELATED OBLIGATIONS.


 


With
respect to the Registration Statement and whenever any Registrable Securities are to be registered pursuant to Section 2

Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following
obligations:


 


a. The
Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to any Registration
Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to
Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement or any New Registration
Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the Securities
Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by the Registration Statement or any
New Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with
the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such registration statement.


 


b.

and all amendments and supplements thereto at least two (2) Business Days prior to their filing with the SEC, and not file any

of copies as the Investor may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any preliminary or final
prospectus, as any Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable
Securities owned by the Investor. For the avoidance of doubt, any filing available to the Investor via the SEC’s live EDGAR

    	3



    	 



    

 


d. The
Company shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a registration statement
under such other securities or “blue sky” laws including New York, New Jersey and Florida and other jurisdictions
in the United States as the Investor reasonably requests, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including
post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness
thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications
in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify

consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify each Investor who holds Registrable
Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification
of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United
States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.


 


e.
As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event or facts, the Company shall notify the Investors in writing of the
happening of any event or existence of such facts as a result of which the prospectus included in any registration statement,
as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and promptly
prepare a supplement or amendment to such registration statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver a copy
of such supplement or amendment to the Investor (or such other number of copies as the Investor may reasonably request). The Company
shall also promptly notify the Investors in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment
has been filed, and when a registration statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness
shall be delivered to the Investors by email or facsimile on the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight mail), (ii) of
any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any registration statement or related prospectus or related information,
and (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a registration statement would be
appropriate.


 


f.
The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness
of any registration statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction
and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment
and to notify the Investors of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation
or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.


 


g.
The Company shall (i) cause all the Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the
same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted
under the rules of such exchange, or (ii) secure designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities on the Nasdaq Stock
Market (or any other primary exchange or trading market the Common Stock is listed or quoted). The Company shall pay all fees
and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section 3(g).


 


h.
The Company shall cooperate with the Investors to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing
any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to any Registration Statement and enable
such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts as each Investor may reasonably request and registered in such names
as the Investor may request.


 




    	4



    	 



    

 


i.
The Company shall at all times provide a transfer agent and registrar with respect to its Common Stock.


 


j.
If reasonably requested by an Investor, the Company shall (i) immediately incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment such information as the Investor believes should be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable
Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being sold, the purchase
price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities; (ii) make all required filings of
such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable upon notification of the matters to be incorporated
in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any registration statement.


 


k.
The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by any Registration Statement to
be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition
of such Registrable Securities.


 


l.
Within one (1) Business Day after any registration statement which includes the Registrable Securities is ordered effective by
the SEC, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable
Securities (with copies to the Investor) confirmation that such registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC.
Thereafter, if requested by any Investor at any time, the Company shall require its counsel to deliver to each Investor a written
confirmation whether or not the effectiveness of such registration statement has lapsed at any time for any reason (including,
without limitation, the issuance of a stop order) and whether or not the registration statement is current and available to the
Investor for sale of all of the Registrable Securities.


 


m.
The Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by the Investor of Registrable
Securities pursuant to any registration statement, including the removal of legends from any share certificates and permitting
such shares to be held electronically in the Investor’s brokerage accounts.


 


4.
OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTOR.


 


a.
The Company shall notify each Investor in writing of the information the Company reasonably requires from the Investor in connection
with any Registration Statement hereunder. The Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable
Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required
to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration
as the Company may reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Registration Statement shall contain the “Plan
of Distribution” section in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.


 


b.
Each Investor agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and
filing of any registration statement hereunder.


 


c.
Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event or existence of facts of
the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of 3(e), the Investor will immediately discontinue disposition
of Registrable Securities pursuant to any registration statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until the Investor’s
receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(f) or the first sentence of 3(e).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to promptly deliver shares of Common Stock
without any restrictive legend in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable
Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s receipt of a notice
from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of Section
3(e) and for which the Investor has not yet settled.

5.
EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.


 


All
reasonable expenses, other than sales or brokerage commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications
pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees,
printers and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be paid by the Company.


 


6.
INDEMNIFICATION.


 


a.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Investor,
each Person, if any, who controls each Investor, the members, the directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives
of each Investor and each Person, if any, who controls each Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against
any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in
settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”) incurred in investigating, preparing or
defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court
or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an
indemnified party is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject
insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the Registration Statement, any New Registration
Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under
the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue
Sky Filing”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the
SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in
light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged violation
by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law,
or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration
Statement or any New Registration Statement or (iv) any material violation by the Company of this Agreement (the matters in the
foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, “Violations”). The Company shall reimburse each Indemnified
Person promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified
Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information about the Investor
furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration
Statement, any New Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made
available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); (ii) with respect to any superseded prospectus,
shall not inure to the benefit of any such person from whom the person asserting any such Claim purchased the Registrable Securities
that are the subject thereof (or to the benefit of any person controlling such person) if the untrue statement or omission of
material fact contained in the superseded prospectus was corrected in the revised prospectus, as then amended or supplemented,
if such revised prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e), and
the Indemnified Person was promptly advised in writing not to use the incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a violation
and such Indemnified Person, notwithstanding such advice, used it; (iii) shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based
on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company, if such prospectus
was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); and (iv) shall not apply to amounts
paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made
by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant
to Section 9.


 




    	6



    	 



    

 


b. In
connection with the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement, each Investor, severally and not jointly with respect
to its own underlying actions, agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is
set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement
or any New Registration Statement, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act, and all other non-violating Investors (collectively and together with an Indemnified Person, an “Indemnified
Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act,
the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each
case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
about that specific Investor and furnished to the Company by the Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration
Statement; and, subject to Section 6(d), the Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in
this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts
paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Investor, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b)
for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to the Investor as a result of the
sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless
of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities
by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.


 


c.
Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement
of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified
Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to
the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate
in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume
control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the
Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right
to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel
retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the
indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified
Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate
fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying
party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified
Person which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully
apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party
shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its written consent, provided, however,
that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without
the consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other
compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification
as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person
with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure
to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not
relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except
to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.


 




    	7



    	 



    

 


d.
The indemnification required by this Section 6 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 Indemnified Damages are incurred.


 


e.
The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject
to pursuant to the law.


 


7.
CONTRIBUTION.


 


To
the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make
the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest
extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities
who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited
in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.


 


8.
REPORTS AND DISCLOSURE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACTS.


 


With
a view to making available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar
rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investor to sell securities of the Company to the public without
registration (“Rule 144”), the Company agrees, at the Company’s sole expense, to:


 


a.
make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;


 


b.
file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is
required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144;


 


c.
furnish to each Investor so long as the Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by
the Company that it has complied with the reporting and or disclosure provisions of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by
the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investor to sell such securities pursuant
to Rule 144 without registration; and


 




    	8



    	 



    

 


d.
take such additional action as is requested by each Investor to enable the Investor to sell the Registrable Securities pursuant
to Rule 144, including, without limitation, delivering all such legal opinions, consents, certificates, resolutions and instructions
to the Company’s Transfer Agent as may be requested from time to time by the Investor and otherwise fully cooperate with
Investor and Investor’s broker to effect such sale of securities pursuant to Rule 144.


 


The
Company agrees that damages may be an inadequate remedy for any breach of the terms and provisions of this Section 8 and
each Investor shall, whether or not it is pursuing any remedies at law, be entitled to equitable relief in the form of a preliminary
or permanent injunctions, without having to post any bond or other security, upon any breach or threatened breach of any such
terms or provisions.


 


9.
ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.



 


The
Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Investor.
The Investor may not assign its rights under this Agreement without the written consent of the Company, other than to an Affiliate
of the Investor.


 


10.
AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.


 


No
provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived by the parties from and after the date that is one Business Day immediately
preceding the initial filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, no provision
of this Agreement may be (i) amended other than by a written instrument signed by both parties hereto or (ii) waived other than
in a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. Failure of any party to exercise
any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate
as a waiver thereof.


 


11.
MISCELLANEOUS.


 


a.
A Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns or is deemed to own of record such Registrable

EXHIBIT
A


 


PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION


 


We
are registering the shares of Common Stock to permit the resale of these shares of Common Stock by the selling shareholders from
time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling shareholders
of the shares of Common Stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of Common
Stock.


 


The
selling shareholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from
time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of Common Stock are sold through
underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling shareholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s
commissions. The shares of Common Stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at
the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in
transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions,


 


	 	○	on
    any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;
	 	 	 
	 	○	in
    the over-the-counter market;
	 	 	 
	 	○	in
    transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;
	 	 	 
	 	○	through
    the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;
	 	 	 
	 	○	ordinary
    brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
	 	 	 
	 	○	block
    trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block
    as principal to facilitate the transaction;
	 	 	 
	 	○	purchases
    by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
	 	 	 
	 	○	an
    exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
	 	 	 
	 	○	privately
    negotiated transactions;
	 	 	 
	 	○	short
    sales;
	 	 	 
	 	○	sales
    pursuant to Rule 144;
	 	 	 
	 	○	broker-dealers
    may agree with the selling security holders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
	 	 	 
	 	○	a
    combination of any such methods of sale; and
	 	 	 
	 	○	any
    other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


If
the selling shareholders effect such transactions by selling shares of Common Stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers
or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions
from the selling shareholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of Common Stock for whom they may act as agent or to
whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or
agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of Common
Stock or otherwise, the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage
in short sales of the shares of Common Stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling shareholders may also
sell shares of Common Stock short and deliver shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and
to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling shareholders may also loan or pledge shares of Common
Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.


 


The
selling shareholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of Common Stock owned by them and, if
they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of
Common Stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable
provision of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, amending, if necessary, the list of selling shareholders to include the pledgee,
transferee or other successors in interest as selling shareholders under this prospectus. The selling shareholders also may transfer
and donate the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors
in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.


 


The
selling shareholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of Common Stock may be deemed to be
“underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions
allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the
time a particular offering of the shares of Common Stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which
will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of Common Stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name
or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling
shareholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.


 


Under
the securities laws of some states, the shares of Common Stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed
brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of Common Stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered
or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.


 


There
can be no assurance that any selling shareholder will sell any or all of the shares of Common Stock registered pursuant to the
shelf registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.


 


The
selling shareholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the
Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of Common Stock by the selling shareholders
and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the
shares of Common Stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock. All of the foregoing
may affect the marketability of the shares of Common Stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making
activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock.


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


We
will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the registration rights agreement, estimated
to be [ ] in total, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with
state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, that a selling shareholder will pay all underwriting discounts
and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the selling shareholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under
the Securities Act, in accordance with the registration rights agreements, or the selling shareholders will be entitled to contribution.
We may be indemnified by the selling shareholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, that
may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling shareholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in
accordance with the related registration rights agreement, or we may be entitled to contribution.


 


Once
sold under the shelf registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of Common Stock will be freely
tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.
