furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers in this Agreement (including the schedules hereto) 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 in all material respects 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 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
information therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made and when made, not misleading. The Company acknowledges
and agrees that no Purchaser makes or has made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby
other than those specifically set forth in Section 3.2 hereof.

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

Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof, it is either: (i) an “accredited
investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional
buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.


 


(d) Experience
of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience
in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities,
and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the
Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.


 


(e) General Solicitation.
Purchaser represents that (i) Purchaser was contacted regarding the sale of the Securities by the Placement Agent or the Company (or authorized
representative thereof) and the Purchaser had a prior pre-existing relationship with the Company or the Placement Agent under the U.S.
securities laws and interpretations, (ii) to the knowledge of such Purchaser, no Securities were offered or sold to it by means of any
form of general solicitation, and such Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or
other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio
or presented at any seminar or, to the knowledge of such Purchaser, any other general solicitation or general advertisement.


 


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


 


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


 






     


     


    

 


The Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations
contained in this Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations
and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction Document or the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute
a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to locating or borrowing shares in order to effect Short Sales or
similar transactions in the future.


 


ARTICLE IV.

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES


 


4.1 Transfer Restrictions.


 


(a) The Securities
may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than
pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection with a
pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel
selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory
to the Company, to the effect that such transfer of such transferred Securities does not require registration under the Securities Act.
As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the Registration
Rights Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.


 


(b) The Purchasers
agree to the placement, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend or book entry notation on or with respect to any of the
Securities in the following form:


 


THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED
WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT
TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT
TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY MAY BE
PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT
IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.


 


The Company
acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered
broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited
investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such
Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be
subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required
in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the
Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in
connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities, including, if the Securities are subject to registration pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement, the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the
Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of Selling Shareholders (as
defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) thereunder.


 






     


     


    

 


(c) Certificates
evidencing the Securities shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (i) while a registration
statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following
any sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), (iii) if such Securities are eligible for
sale under Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants) without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, or (iv) if such legend
is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the
staff of the Commission). The Company shall, at its expense, cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent and/or any
Purchaser promptly after the Effective Date if required by the Transfer Agent or if requested by a Purchaser to effect the removal of
the legend hereunder or if requested by a Purchaser. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date or at such time as such legend
is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of
Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the
Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Securities, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered
to such Purchaser a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not
make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this
Section 4. Certificates for Securities subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser
by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by such Purchaser.
As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading
Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of a certificate
representing or DRS statements evidencing Securities issued with a restrictive legend.


 


(d) In addition
to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, (i) as partial liquidated damages and
not as a penalty, for each $5,000 of Shares or Warrant Shares (based on the average high and low prices of the Common Stock on the date
such Shares or Warrant Shares are submitted to the Transfer Agent) for which removal of the restrictive legend was requested and subject
to Section 4.1(c), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue)
for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend and (ii) if the Company fails
to (a) issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to a Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date a certificate (or book entry notation) representing
the Shares or Warrant Shares so delivered to the Company by such Purchaser that is free from all restrictive and other legends and (b)
if after the Legend Removal Date such Purchaser purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver
in satisfaction of a sale by such Purchaser of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares
of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock that such Purchaser anticipated receiving from the
Company without any restrictive legend, then, an amount equal to the excess of such Purchaser’s total purchase price (including
brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including brokerage commissions
and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) (the “Buy-In Price”) over the product of (x) such number of Shares or Warrant
Shares for which legend removal was requested by the Legend Removal Date multiplied by (y) the average of the high and low sales prices
of the Shares or Warrant Shares on the date on which the legend removal was requested.


 


(e) Each Purchaser,
severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees with the Company that such Purchaser will only sell any Securities pursuant
to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption
therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution
set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth
in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.


 






     


     


    

 


4.2 Furnishing of Information;
Public Information.





 


(a) If the Common
Stock is not registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act on the date hereof, the Company shall cause the Common Stock
to be registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act on or before the 60th calendar day following the date hereof. Until
the earliest of the time that no Purchaser owns Securities the Company covenants to maintain the registration of the Common Stock under
Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable
grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company is
not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.


 


(b) Provided that
the registration statement registering the Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement is not effective and
available for use, at any time during the period commencing from the six (6) month anniversary of the date hereof and ending at such time
that all of the Shares and Warrant Shares may be sold without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1)
and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if the Company (i) shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current
public information requirement under Rule 144(c) or (ii) has ever been an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) or becomes such an issuer
in the future, and the Company shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) (a “Public Information Failure”)
then, in addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated
damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Shares and Warrant Shares, an amount
in cash equal to one percent (1%) of the aggregate Subscription Amount of such Purchaser’s Securities remaining to be sold
on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth (30th) day (pro-rated for periods totaling less than thirty
days) thereafter until the earlier of (a) the date such Public Information Failure is cured, and (b) such time that such public information
is no longer required  for the Purchasers to transfer the Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144.  The payments to which
a Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.2(b) are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure Payments.” 
Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information
Failure Payments are incurred and (ii) the third (3rd) Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information
Failure Payments is cured.  In the event the Company fails to make Public Information Failure Payments in a timely manner, such Public
Information Failure Payments shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Nothing
herein shall limit such Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Public Information Failure, and such Purchaser shall
have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance
and/or injunctive relief. The parties agree that the maximum aggregate Public Information Failure Payments payable to a Purchaser under
this Agreement shall be 10% of the aggregate Subscription Amount paid by such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement.


 


4.3 Integration. The
Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section
2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration
under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes
of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder approval prior to the closing of such other
transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.


 


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


 






     


     


    

 


4.5 Securities Laws Disclosure;
Publicity. The Company shall (a) by the Disclosure Time, issue a press release disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated
hereby, and (b) file a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby and any other
material non-public information provided to the Purchasers by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers,
directors, employees or agents, if any, and any other material non-public information provided to the Purchasers by the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents, including the Transaction Documents as exhibits
thereto, with the Commission within the time required by the Exchange Act. From and after the issuance of such press release, the Company
represents to the Purchasers that it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to any of the Purchasers
by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents. In addition, effective
upon the issuance of such press release, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under
any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, agents,
employees or Affiliates on the one hand, and any of the Purchasers or any of their Affiliates on the other hand, shall terminate. The
Company and each Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby, and neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without
the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of any Purchaser, or without the prior consent of each Purchaser with
respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is
required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement
or communication. 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 (i) any registration statement contemplated by the Registration
Rights Agreement and (ii) 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).


 


4.6 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.


 


4.7 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 4.5, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide
any Purchaser (other than Purchasers who are then directors or officers of the Company) 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 or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents
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.


 






     


     


    

 





4.8 Use of

shall not use such proceeds in violation of FCPA or OFAC regulations.


 


4.9 Indemnification of
Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.9, 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 Parties, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or
covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Parties may have with any such stockholder
or any violations by such Purchaser Parties of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Parties which is finally
judicially determined to constitute fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). 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 such 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 such 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 4.9
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.


 


4.10 Listing of Shares
and Warrant Shares. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to, if applicable: (i) in the time and manner required by the principal
Trading Market, prepare and file with such Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering the Shares and Warrant Shares,
(ii) take all steps necessary to cause such Shares and Warrant Shares to be approved for listing or quotation on such Trading Market as
soon as possible thereafter, (iii) provide to the Purchasers evidence of such listing or quotation and (iv) maintain the listing or quotation
of such Common Stock on such Trading Market or another 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 Reservation of Common
Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times,
free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue Shares pursuant
to this Agreement and Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Warrants.


 


4.12 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.


 






     


     


    

 


4.13 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 4.5.  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 4.5, such Purchaser will
maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in the Transaction Documents
and 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 4.5, (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 4.5 and (iii) no Purchaser that is not a director, officer or employee of the Company 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 4.5.  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.


 


4.14 Form D; Blue Sky Filings.
The Company shall timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly
upon request of any Purchaser. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain
an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchasers at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky”
laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any Purchaser. Each Purchaser
acknowledges and agrees to promptly provide to the Company or its representatives any such information as may be reasonably requested
so as to allow the Company to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.14.


 


4.15 Capital Changes.
Until the ninetieth (90th) day following the Effective Date upon which all of the Shares and Warrant Shares were registered for resale
or, if earlier, the date on which all of the Securities have been sold pursuant to Rule 144, 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 then holding a majority
in interest of the Shares, unless such capital change becomes necessary to maintain listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.


 


4.16 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, subject to the terms and conditions
in the Transaction Documents, that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue
the Securities 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.


 






     


     


    

 





4.17 Lock-Up. The Company
shall not amend, modify, waive or terminate any provision of any of the Lock-Up Agreements except to extend the term of the lock-up period
and shall enforce the provisions of each Lock-Up Agreement in accordance with its terms. If any officer or director that is a party to
a Lock-Up Agreement breaches any provision of a Lock-Up Agreement, the Company shall promptly use its best efforts to seek specific performance
of the terms of such Lock-Up Agreement.


 


4.18       Participation
in Future Financing. 


 


(a)       From
the date hereof until the date that is the eighteen month anniversary of the Effective Date, upon any issuance by the Company of Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents for cash consideration, Indebtedness other than Indebtedness that is not convertible into Common Stock
or a combination of units thereof, but excluding any Exempt Issuance (a “Subsequent Financing”), each Purchaser shall
have the right to participate in up to an amount of the Subsequent Financing equal to 35% of the Subsequent Financing (the “Participation
Maximum”) on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing.


 


(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.


 


(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 more
than the aggregate amount of 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 4.18 and (y) the sum of the aggregate Subscription Amounts
of Securities purchased on the Closing Date by all Purchasers participating under this Section 4.18.


 


(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 4.18, 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, is principally 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 securities of the Company 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.


 


(h)       Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 4.18 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 4.18 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance.


 


4.19        Subsequent
Equity Sales. (a) From the date hereof until sixty (60) days after the Effective Date upon which all of the Shares and Warrant Shares
were registered for resale, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall (i) issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the
issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or (ii) file any registration statement or any
amendment or supplement thereto, except as required to be filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
this Section 4.19 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance.


 


(b) From the date hereof until
the eighteen month anniversary of the Effective Date upon which all of the Shares and Warrant Shares were registered for resale, 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 or “at the market”
offering, 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.


  


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 five (5) Trading Days following the date hereof; provided, however, that such
termination will not affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by any other party (or parties).


 






     


     


    

 


5.2 Fees and Expenses.
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.


 


5.3 Entire Agreement.
The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, 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 (email shall suffice)
and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of: (a) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered
via facsimile or email at the facsimile number or 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 date of transmission, if such notice or communication is
delivered via facsimile or email at the facsimile number or email address as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto on a day
that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (c) the second (2nd) Trading Day
following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service or (d) upon actual receipt by the party
to whom such notice is required to be given. The address for such notices and communications shall be as set forth on the signature pages
attached hereto. To the extent that any notice provided pursuant to any Transaction Document constitutes, or contains material, non-public
information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant
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 the Purchasers holding at least a majority in interest of the Shares based on the initial Subscription
Amounts hereunder (or, prior to the Closing, the Company and each Purchaser) 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 Shares,
provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Shares, by the provisions of the Transaction
Documents that apply to the “Purchasers.”


 






     


     


    

 





5.8 No Third-Party Beneficiaries.
The Placement Agent shall be the third party beneficiary of the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 3.1 hereof and
with respect to the representations and warranties of the Purchasers in Section 3.2 hereof. 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 4.9 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 hereto 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 4.9, the prevailing party in such Action or Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for its reasonable attorneys’
fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Action or Proceeding.


 


5.10 Survival. The
representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.


 


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


 


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


 


5.13 Rescission and Withdrawal
Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction
Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not
timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion
from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to
its future actions and rights.


 






     


     


    

 





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;
Currency. 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. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all dollar amounts referred
to in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are in United States Dollars (“U.S. Dollars”), and all amounts
owing under this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents shall be paid in U.S. Dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies
(if any) shall be converted into the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount in accordance with the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation. “Exchange
Rate” means, in relation to any amount of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant to this Agreement, the U.S. Dollar
exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the relevant date of calculation.


 


5.17 Usury. To the
extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist
any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in
force, in connection with any Action or Proceeding that may be brought by any Purchaser in order to enforce any right or remedy under
any Transaction Document. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed
and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not
exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and, without limiting the foregoing,
in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest
that the Company may be obligated to pay under the Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract
rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental
action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to
the Transaction Documents from the effective date thereof forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under any
circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to any Purchaser with respect to indebtedness
evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be applied by such Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness
or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at such Purchaser’s election.


 


5.18 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 the Placement Agent Counsel. The
Placement Agent Counsel does not represent any of the Purchasers and only represents the Placement Agent. The Company has elected to
provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was
required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this
Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the
Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.


 






     


     


    

 


5.19 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.


 


5.20 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.


 


5.21 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.


 


5.22 Judgment Currency.
(a) If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Company in any court in any jurisdiction it becomes necessary to
convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 5.21 referred to as the “Judgment Currency”)
an amount due in U.S. Dollars under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the conversion shall be made at the Exchange Rate
prevailing on the Trading Day immediately preceding: (A) the date actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the
courts of New York or in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date or (B)
the date on which the foreign court determines, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the date as of
which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 5.22 being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Conversion
Date”).


 


(b) If in the case of any
proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 5.22(a) above, there is a change in the Exchange Rate prevailing
between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the applicable party shall pay such adjusted amount
as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the date
of payment, will produce the amount of U.S. Dollars which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in
the judgment or judicial order at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date.


 


(c) Any amount due from the
Company under this provision shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts
due under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.


 


5.23 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.

Attention: Christopher Ianelli

Ladies and Gentlemen:


 


This Lock-Up Agreement is
being delivered to you in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of
November 28, 2021 by and among iSpecimen Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and the investors party thereto
(the “Purchasers”), with respect to the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value,
of the Company (the “Shares”) and common stock purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) in a private placement
transition (the “Private Placement”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
respective meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.


 


In order to induce the
Purchasers to enter into the Purchase Agreement, the undersigned agrees that, commencing on the date hereof and ending
on the date that is 60 (sixty) days from the Effective Date upon which all of the Shares and shares of common stock issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants are registered for resale (the “Lock-Up Period”), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract
to sell, grant, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Shares Warrants, or any securities
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares or Warrants, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned
or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition (collectively, the “Lock-Up
Securities”); (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the
economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is
to be settled by delivery of Lock-Up Securities, in cash or otherwise; (3) make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to
the registration of any Lock-Up Securities; or (4) publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge or disposition,
or to enter into any transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement relating to any Lock-Up Securities. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, and subject to the conditions below, the undersigned may transfer Lock-Up Securities without the prior written consent of
the Company in connection with (a) transactions relating to Lock-Up Securities acquired in open market transactions after the
completion of the transaction; provided that no filing under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
 “Exchange Act”), shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with subsequent sales of Lock-Up
Securities acquired in such open market transactions; (b) transfers of Lock-Up Securities as a bona fide gift, by will or intestacy
or to a family member or trust for the benefit of a family member (for purposes of this lock-up agreement, “family
member” means any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin); (c) transfers of Lock-Up
Securities to a charity or educational institution; or (d) if the undersigned, directly or indirectly, controls a corporation,
partnership, limited liability company or other business entity, any transfers of Lock-Up Securities to any shareholder, partner or
member of, or owner of similar equity interests in, the undersigned, as the case may be; provided that in the case of any transfer
pursuant to the foregoing clauses (b), (c) or (d), (i) any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (ii) each
transferee shall sign and deliver to the Company a lock-up agreement substantially in the form of this lock-up agreement and
(iii) no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall be required or shall be voluntarily made. The undersigned also agrees

No provision in this
agreement shall be deemed to restrict or prohibit the exercise, exchange or conversion by the undersigned of any securities
exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into Shares or Warrants, as applicable; provided that the undersigned does not
transfer the Shares or Warrants acquired on such exercise, exchange or conversion during the Lock-Up Period, unless otherwise
permitted pursuant to the terms of this lock-up agreement. In addition, no provision herein shall be deemed to restrict or prohibit
the entry into or modification of a so-called “10b5-1” plan at any time (other than the entry into or modification of
such a plan in such a manner as to cause the sale of any Lock-Up Securities within the Lock-Up Period).


 


The undersigned further understands
that this lock-up agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors
and assigns. 


 


This Lock-Up Agreement may
be executed in two counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but both of which shall be considered one and the same instrument.


 


This Lock-Up 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.


 


This Lock-Up Agreement will
be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflicting
provision or rule (whether of the State of New York, or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the laws of any jurisdiction other than
the State of New York to be applied. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal laws of the State of New York will control the interpretation
and construction of this Lock-Up Agreement, even if under such jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive
law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply.
