Article II. Advances


 


Section 2.01     Advances;
Mechanics. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions of Article VII
hereof), the Company, at its sole and exclusive option, may issue and sell to the Investor, and the Investor shall purchase from the Company,
Common Shares on the following terms:


 


		(a)	Advance Notice. At any time during the Commitment Period the Company may require the Investor to
purchase Shares by delivering an Advance Notice to the Investor, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 7.01, and in accordance
with the following provisions:



 


		(i)	The Company shall, in its sole discretion, select the amount of the Advance, not to exceed the Maximum
Advance Amount, it desires to issue and sell to the Investor in each Advance Notice and the time it desires to deliver each Advance Notice.



 


		(ii)	There shall be no mandatory minimum Advances and no non-usages fee for not utilizing the Commitment Amount
or any part thereof.



 


		(b)	Date of Delivery of Advance Notice. Advance
Notices shall be delivered in accordance with the instructions set forth on the bottom of Exhibit A. An Advance Notice shall
be deemed delivered on (i) the day it is received by the Investor if such notice is received by email prior on or before 8:30 a.m. Eastern
Time (or later if waived by the Investor in its sole discretion) in accordance with the instructions
set forth on the bottom of Exhibit A, or (ii) the immediately succeeding day if it is received by email after 8:30 a.m. Eastern
Time, in each case in accordance with the instructions set forth on the bottom of Exhibit A.



 


		(c)	Advance Limitations. Regardless of the amount of an Advance requested by the Company in the Advance
Notice, the final number of Shares to be issued and sold pursuant to an Advance Notice shall be reduced in accordance with each of the
following limitations:



 


		(i)	Ownership Limitation; Commitment Amount. In no event shall the number of Common Shares issuable
to the Investor pursuant to an Advance cause the aggregate number of Common Shares beneficially owned (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act) by the Investor and its Affiliates as a result of previous issuances and sales of Common Shares to Investor under this
Agreement to exceed 4.99% of the then outstanding Common Shares (the “Ownership Limitation”). In connection with each
Advance Notice delivered by the Company, any portion of the Advance that would (i) cause the Investor to exceed the Ownership Limitation
or (ii) cause the aggregate number of Shares issued and sold to the Investor hereunder to exceed the Commitment Amount shall automatically
be withdrawn with no further action required by the Company, and such Advance Notice shall be deemed automatically modified to reduce
the amount of the Advance requested by an amount equal to such withdrawn portion; provided that in the event of any such automatic withdrawal
and automatic modification, Investor will promptly notify the Company of such event.



 






     


     


    

 


		(ii)	Registration Limitation. In no event shall an Advance exceed the amount registered under the Registration
Statement then in effect (the “Registration Limitation”) or the Exchange Cap, to the extent applicable. In connection
with each Advance Notice, any portion of an Advance that would exceed the Registration Limitation or the Exchange Cap shall automatically
be withdrawn with no further action required by the Company and such Advance Notice shall be deemed automatically modified to reduce the
aggregate amount of the requested Advance by an amount equal to such withdrawn portion in respect of each Advance Notice; provided that
in the event of any such automatic withdrawal and automatic modification, Investor will promptly notify the Company of such event.



 


		(d)	Minimum Acceptable Price.



 


		(i)	With respect to each Advance Notice, the Company may notify the Investor of the MAP with respect to such
Advance by indicating a MAP on such Advance Notice. If no MAP is specified in an Advance Notice, then no MAP shall be in effect in connection
with such Advance. Each Trading Day during a Pricing Period for which (A) with respect to each Advance Notice with a MAP, the VWAP
of the Common Shares is below the Minimum Acceptable Price in effect with respect to such Advance Notice, or (B) there is no VWAP
(each such day, an “Excluded Day”), shall result in an automatic reduction to the amount of the Advance set forth in
such Advance Notice by one third (the resulting amount of each Advance being the “Adjusted Advance Amount”), and each
Excluded Day shall be excluded from the Pricing Period for purposes of determining the Market Price.



 


		(ii)	The total Shares in respect of each Advance (after reductions have been made to arrive at the Adjusted
Advance Amount) shall be increased by such number of Common Shares (the “Additional Shares”) equal to the number of
Common Shares sold by the Investor on such Excluded Day, if any, and the price paid per share for each Additional Share shall be equal
to the MAP in effect with respect to such Advance Notice (without any further discount), provided that this increase shall not cause the
total Advance Shares to exceed the amount set forth in the original Advance Notice or any limitations set forth in Section 2.01(c).



 






     


     


    

 


		(e)	Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Company and the Investor acknowledge and agree
that upon the Investor’s receipt of a valid Advance Notice the parties shall be deemed to have entered into an unconditional contract
binding on both parties for the purchase and sale of Shares pursuant to such Advance Notice in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
and (i) subject to Applicable Law and (ii) subject to Section 3.08 (Trading Activities), the Investor may sell Common Shares
during the Pricing Period.



 


Section 2.02     Closings.
The closing of each Advance and each sale and purchase of Advance Shares (each, a “Closing”) shall take place as soon
as practicable on or after each Advance Date in accordance with the procedures set forth below. The parties acknowledge that the Purchase
Price is not known at the time the Advance Notice is delivered (at which time the Investor is irrevocably bound) but shall be determined
on each Closing based on the daily prices of the Common Shares that are the inputs to the determination of the Purchase Price as set forth
further below. In connection with each Closing, the Company and the Investor shall fulfill each of its obligations as set forth below:


 


		(a)	On each Advance Date, the Investor shall deliver to the Company a written document, in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B (each a “Settlement Document”), setting forth the final number of Shares to be purchased by
the Investor (taking into account any adjustments pursuant to Section 2.01), the Market Price, the Purchase Price, the aggregate
proceeds to be paid by the Investor to the Company, and a report by Bloomberg, L.P. indicating the VWAP for each of the Trading Days during
the Pricing Period (or, if not reported on Bloomberg, L.P., another reporting service reasonably agreed to by the parties), in each case
in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The final number of Shares to be purchased by the Investor at the Closing
for such Advance shall equal the sum of (i) the Adjusted Advance Amount which shall be purchased at the Purchase Price, plus (ii) the
aggregate number of Additional Shares elected to be purchased by the Investor on Excluded Days during such Pricing Period (as contemplated
by Section 2.01(d)(ii)) which shall be purchased at the applicable MAP.



 


		(b)	Promptly after receipt of the Settlement Document
with respect to each Advance (and, in any event, not later than one Trading Day after such receipt), the Company will, or will cause its
transfer agent to, electronically transfer such number of Shares to be purchased by the Investor (as set forth in the Settlement Document)
by crediting the Investor’s account or its designee’s account at the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal
at Custodian System or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto, and transmit notification
to the Investor that such share transfer has been requested. Promptly upon receipt of such notification, the Investor shall pay
to the Company the aggregate purchase price of the Shares (as set forth in the Closing Statement) in cash in immediately available funds
to an account designated by the Company in writing and transmit notification to the Company that such funds transfer has been requested.
No fractional shares shall be issued, and any fractional amounts shall be rounded to the next higher whole number of shares. To facilitate
the transfer of the Common Shares by the Investor, the Common Shares will not bear any restrictive legends so long as there is an effective
Registration Statement covering such Common Shares (it being understood and agreed by the Investor that notwithstanding the lack of restrictive
legends, the Investor may only sell such Common Shares pursuant to the Plan of Distribution set forth in the prospectus included in the
Registration Statement and otherwise in compliance with the requirements of the Securities Act (including any applicable prospectus delivery
requirements) or pursuant to an available exemption).



 






     


     


    

 


		(c)	On or prior to the Advance Date, each of the Company and the Investor shall deliver to the other all documents,
instruments and writings expressly required to be delivered by either of them pursuant to this Agreement in order to implement and effect
the transactions contemplated herein.



 


		(d)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if on any day during the Pricing Period (i) the
Company notifies Investor that a Material Outside Event has occurred, or (ii) the Company notifies the Investor of a Black Out Period,
the parties agree that the pending Advance shall end and the final number of Shares to be purchased by the Investor at the Closing for
such Advance shall be equal to the number of Common Shares sold by the Investor during the applicable Pricing Period prior to the notification
from the Company of a Material Outside Event or Black Out Period.



 


Section 2.03     Hardship.


 


		(a)	In the event the Investor sells Common Shares of the Company after receipt of an Advance Notice and the
Company fails to perform its obligations as mandated in Section 2.02, the Company agrees that in addition to and in no way limiting
the rights and obligations set forth in Article V hereto and in addition to any other remedy to which the Investor is entitled at
law or in equity, including, without limitation, specific performance, it will hold the Investor harmless against any loss, claim, damage,
or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), as incurred, arising out of or in connection with such default by the Company
and acknowledges that irreparable damage may occur in the event of any such default. It is accordingly agreed that the Investor shall
be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent such breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce (subject to the Securities
Act and other rules of the Principal Market), without the posting of a bond or other security, the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

names, service marks, service mark registrations, service names, patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions, licenses, approvals,

property and facilities held under lease by the Company and its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable

The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks
and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its Subsidiaries
are engaged. The Company has no reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage
expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have
a Material Adverse Effect.


 


Section 4.16     Regulatory
Permits. Except as would not cause a Material Adverse Effect, the Company and its Subsidiaries possess all material certificates,
authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal, state or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to own their respective

recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to
maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific
authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate

self-regulatory organization or body pending against or affecting the Company, the Common Shares or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries,
wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would have a Material Adverse Effect.

corporation, partnership, association or other business entity.

tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has timely 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,
except those being contested in good faith and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of
all taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. The Company has not received written
notification any unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of
the Company and its Subsidiaries know of no basis for any such claim where failure to pay would cause a Material Adverse Effect.

to any third parties including, but not limited to, current or former shareholders of the Company, underwriters, brokers, agents or other
third parties.

Regarding Investor’s Purchase of Shares. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Investor is acting solely in the capacity
of an arm’s length investor with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder. The Company further acknowledges

is not effective or if any issuances of Common Shares pursuant to any Advances would violate any rules of the Principal Market. The
Company acknowledged and agrees that it is capable of evaluating and understanding, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and
conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Article V. Indemnification


 


The Investor and the Company
represent to the other the following with respect to itself:


 


Section 5.01     Indemnification
by the Company. In consideration of the Investor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, and in addition to all of the Company’s
other obligations under this Agreement, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Investor and its investment
manager, Yorkville Advisors Global, LP, and each of their respective officers, directors, managers, members, partners, employees and agents
(including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and each person who
controls the Investor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively,
the “Investor Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties,
fees, liabilities and damages, and reasonable and documented expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Investor
Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by the Investor Indemnitees or any of them as a result of,
or arising out of, or relating to (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement for the registration of the Shares as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any related prospectus, or in any
amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that the
Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon
any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity
with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Investor specifically for inclusion therein; (b) any material
misrepresentation or breach of any material representation or material warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or any other certificate,
instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby; or (c) any material breach of any material covenant, material agreement or
material obligation of the Company contained in this Agreement or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or
thereby. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable under Applicable Law, the Company shall make
the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities, which is permissible under Applicable
Law.


 






     


     


    

 


Section 5.02     Indemnification
by the Investor. In consideration of the Company’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, and in addition to all of the Investor’s
other obligations under this Agreement, the Investor shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and all of its officers,
directors, shareholders, employees and agents (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement) and each person who controls the Investor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20
of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Company Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities
incurred by the Company Indemnitees or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement for the registration of the Shares as originally filed
or in any amendment thereof, or in any related prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based
upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading; provided, however, that the Investor will only be liable for written information relating to the
Investor furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Investor specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing
indemnity, and will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based
upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity
with written information furnished to the Investor by or on behalf of the Company specifically for inclusion therein; (b) any misrepresentation
or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Investor in this Agreement or any instrument or document contemplated hereby or
thereby executed by the Investor; or (c) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Investor(s) contained in
this Agreement or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby executed by the Investor. To the extent
that the foregoing undertaking by the Investor may be unenforceable under Applicable Law, the Investor shall make the maximum contribution
to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities, which is permissible under Applicable Law.


 






     


     


    

 


Section 5.03     Notice
of Claim. Promptly after receipt by an Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding
(including any governmental action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee,
as applicable, shall, if a claim for an Indemnified Liability in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this
Article V, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof; but the failure to so notify the indemnifying
party will not relieve it of liability under this Article V except to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such failure.
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 reasonably satisfactory to
the indemnifying party and the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Investor Indemnitee
or Company Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the actual and reasonable third party fees and expenses of not
more than one counsel for such Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee 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 Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee and
the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Investor Indemnitee or Company
Indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee 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 Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee which
relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee reasonably apprised 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 prior written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not
unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Investor
Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee, 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 Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee 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 Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations
relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The indemnification required by this Article V shall be made by periodic
payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received and payment therefor
is due.


 


Section 5.04     Remedies.
The remedies provided for in this Article V are not exclusive and shall not limit any right or remedy which may be available to any
indemnified person at law or equity. The obligations of
the parties to indemnify or make contribution under this Article V shall survive expiration
or termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under this Agreement or Applicable Law, no party shall
be entitled to any indemnification pursuant to this Article V (other than claims for any damages resulting from fraud) until the
aggregate amount of all such damages that would otherwise be indemnifiable to such party equals or exceeds $25,000 (the “Basket”),
at which time such party shall be entitled to indemnification for the full amount of all damages (including all damages incurred prior
to exceeding the Basket).


 






     


     


    

 


Section 5.05     Limitation
of liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party shall be entitled to recover from the other party for punitive, indirect, incidental
or consequential damages.

contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall ensure that, when filed, each Registration Statement (including, without limitation,
all amendments and supplements thereto) and the prospectus (including, without limitation, all amendments and supplements thereto) used
in connection with such Registration Statement 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 the case of prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances
in which they were made) not misleading. During the Commitment Period, the Company shall notify the Investor promptly if (i) the
Registration Statement shall cease to be effective under the Securities Act, (ii) the Common Shares shall cease to be authorized
for listing on the Principal Market, (iii) the Common Shares cease to be registered under Section 12(b) or Section 12(g) of
the Exchange Act or (iv) the Company fails to file in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of it as a reporting
company under the Exchange Act.



 


		(d)	Filing Procedures. Not less than one business
days prior to the filing of a Registration Statement and not less than one business day prior to the filing of any related amendments
and supplements to any Registration Statements (except for any amendments or supplements caused by the filing of any annual reports on
Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and any similar or successor reports), the Company
shall furnish to the Investor copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other than those filed pursuant to Rule 424
promulgated under the Securities Act) will be subject to the reasonable and prompt review of the Investor (in each of which cases, if
such document contains material non-public information as consented to by the Investor pursuant to Section 6.13, the information
provided to Investor will be kept strictly confidential until filed and treated as subject to Section 6.08). The Investor shall furnish
comments on a Registration Statement and any related amendment and supplement to a Registration Statement to the Company within 24 hours
of the receipt thereof. If the Investor fails to provide comments to the Company within such
24-hour period, then the Registration Statement, related amendment or related supplement, as applicable, shall be deemed accepted by the
Investor in the form originally delivered by the Company to the Investor.



 


		(e)	Delivery of Final Documents. The Company shall furnish to the Investor without charge, (i) at
least one copy of each Registration Statement as declared effective by the SEC and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial
statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) at
the request of the Investor, at least one copy of the final prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and
supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as the Investor may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents as the
Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Common Shares owned by the Investor pursuant
to a Registration Statement. Filing of the forgoing with the SEC via its EDGAR system shall satisfy the requirements of this section.



 


		(f)	[RESERVED].



 






     


     


    

 


		(g)	Blue-Sky. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, if required by Applicable
Law, (i) register and qualify the Common Shares covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue sky”
laws of such 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 Commitment Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such
registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Commitment Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably
necessary or advisable to qualify the Common Shares for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required
in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (w) make any change to its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, (x) qualify
to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 6.01(f), (y) subject
itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.
The Company shall promptly notify the Investor of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
registration or qualification of any of the Common Shares 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 threat of any proceeding for such purpose.



 


Section 6.02     Suspension
of Registration Statement.


 


		(a)	Establishment of a Black Out Period. During the Commitment Period, the Company from time to time
may suspend the use of the Registration Statement by written notice to the Investor in the event that the Company determines in its sole
discretion in good faith that such suspension is necessary to (A) delay the disclosure of material nonpublic information concerning
the Company, the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best interests of the Company
or (B) amend or supplement the Registration Statement or prospectus so that such Registration Statement or prospectus shall not include
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, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (a “Black Out Period”).



 


		(b)	No Sales by Investor During the Black Out Period. During such Black Out Period, the Investor agrees
not to sell any Common Shares of the Company.



 


		(c)	Limitations on the Black Out Period. The Company shall not impose any Black Out Period that is
longer than 30 days or in a manner that is more restrictive (including, without limitation, as to duration) than the comparable restrictions
that the Company may impose on transfers of the Company’s equity securities by its directors and senior executive officers. In addition,
the Company shall not deliver any Advance Notice during any Black Out Period. If the public announcement of such material, nonpublic information
is made during a Black Out Period, the Black Out Period shall terminate immediately after such announcement, and the Company shall immediately
notify the Investor of the termination of the Black Out Period.



 






     


     


    

 


Section 6.03     Listing
of Common Shares. As of each Advance Date, the Shares to be sold by the Company from time to time hereunder will have been registered

of Counsel. Prior to the date of the delivery by the Company of the first Advance Notice, the Investor shall have received an opinion
letter from counsel to the Company in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Investor.

Act Registration. The Company will file in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of it as a reporting company under
the Exchange Act and will not take any action or file any document (whether or not permitted by Exchange Act or the rules thereunder)
to terminate or suspend its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act.


 


Section 6.06     Transfer
Agent Instructions. For any time while there is a Registration Statement in effect for this transaction, the Company shall (if required
by the transfer agent for the Common Shares) cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver to the transfer agent for the Common Shares
(with a copy to the Investor) instructions to issue Common Shares to the Investor free of restrictive legends upon each Advance if the
delivery of such instructions are consistent with Applicable Law.

authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any request for amendments or supplements to the Registration
Statement or related prospectus; (ii) the issuance by the SEC or any other Federal governmental authority of any stop order suspending
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) receipt of any notification
with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Common Shares for sale in any jurisdiction
or the initiation or written threat of any proceeding for such purpose; (iv) the happening of any event that makes any statement
made in the Registration Statement or related prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference
untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement, related prospectus or documents
so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the related prospectus,
it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or of the necessity to amend
the Registration Statement or supplement a related prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or any other law; and (v) the Company’s
reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement would be appropriate; and the Company will promptly
make available to the Investor any such supplement or amendment to the related prospectus. The Company shall not deliver to the Investor
any Advance Notice, and the Company shall not sell any Shares pursuant to any pending Advance Notice (other than as required pursuant
to Section 2.02(d)), during the continuation of any of the foregoing events (each of the events described in the immediately preceding
