ARTICLE

BUYERS’
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES


 


Each
Buyer represents and warrants to the Company, that:


 


5.1.
Investment Purpose. Each Buyer is acquiring the Securities for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards,
or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under
the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, each Buyer reserves the right to dispose of
the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to an effective registration statement covering such Securities or an
available exemption under the Securities Act. The Buyer acknowledges that the Securities are “restricted securities”
and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and accordingly, a legend will be
placed on the certificates and book entries representing the Securities in the following form:


 




    	6



     


    

 


THESE
SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND
ARE “RESTRICTED SECURITIES” AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT
BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER, THE AVAILABILITY OF WHICH
IS TO BE ESTABLISHED TO THE REASONABLE SATISFACTION OF COUNSEL TO THE ISSUER.


 


5.2.
Accredited Investor Status. Each Buyer is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation
D, as promulgated under the Securities Act.


 


5.3.
Reliance on Exemptions. Each Buyer understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions
from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities Laws and that the Company is relying in part
upon the truth and accuracy of, and each Buyer’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments
and understandings of each Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility
of each Buyer to acquire the Securities.


 


5.4.
Information. Each Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and
operations of the Company and other information each Buyer deemed material to making an informed investment decision regarding
its purchase of Preferred Stock and Warrants hereunder, which have been requested by such Buyer (including the Transaction Documents)
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. Each Buyer acknowledges that it has received and reviewed a copy of the SEC
Documents, which are available on the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov) at no charge to Buyers. Buyers acknowledge that each of
them may retrieve all SEC Documents from such website and each Buyer’s access to such SEC Documents through such website
shall constitute delivery of the SEC Documents to Buyers. Each Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity
to ask questions of the Company and its management. Each Buyer understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high
degree of risk. Each Buyer, 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. Each Buyer is in a position regarding the Company, which,
based upon employment, family relationship or economic bargaining power, enabled and enables such Buyer to obtain information
from the Company in order to evaluate the merits and risks of this investment. Each Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and
tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities.
Without limiting the foregoing, each Buyer has carefully considered the potential risks relating to the Company and a purchase
of Preferred Stock and Warrants hereunder, and fully understands that the Securities are a speculative investment that involves
a high degree of risk of loss of the Buyer’s entire investment and each such Buyer 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. Among other things,
each Buyer has carefully considered each of the risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s
Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 18, 2020 (the “Form 10-K”) and its other SEC Documents (including, most recently,
the Company’s prospectus dated [ ], 2020 filed with the SEC on [ ], 2020).

partnership, limited liability company or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement and the other applicable Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder.
This Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents to which a Buyer is a party has been duly and validly authorized, executed
and delivered on behalf of each Buyer and is a valid and binding agreement of each Buyer, enforceable in accordance with its terms,
except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’
rights and remedies. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the applicable Transaction Documents and performance by
each Buyer of the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership,
limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of such Buyer.


 


5.8.
No General Solicitation. No Buyer is purchasing any Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication
published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any
other general solicitation or general advertisement. Each Buyer represents that it has a relationship with the Placement Agent
or the Company preceding the offering of the Preferred Stock and Warrants hereunder.


 


5.9.
Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Buyer has not,
nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Buyer, directly or indirectly executed any purchases
or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Buyer

partners, legal and other advisors, employees, agents and Affiliates, such Buyer has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures
made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). For purposes of this Section
5.9, “Short Sales” means all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange
Act (but shall not be deemed to include locating and/or borrowing shares of Common Stock).


 


5.10.
Placement Agent. Such Buyer understands that the Placement Agent has acted solely as the agent of the Company in the placement
of the Securities, and that the Placement Agent makes no representation or warranty with regard to the merits of this transaction
or as to the accuracy of any information such Buyer may have received in connection therewith. Such Buyer acknowledges that it

or terminate as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company has complied with the provisions of such
Insurance Policies. The Company has not been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for and the Company does not have
any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing Insurance Policies as and when such Insurance Policies expire

such system. In this regard, upon each Buyer’s request, the Company shall have an affirmative obligation at its expense
to cause its counsel to promptly issue to the transfer agent a legal opinion providing that, based on the Rule 144 Certificate,
the Securities Being Sold were or may be sold, as applicable, pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144, even in the absence of an
effective registration statement (the “Rule 144 Opinion”). If the transfer agent requires any additional documentation
in connection with any proposed transfer by any Buyer of any Securities Being Sold, the Company shall promptly deliver or cause
to be delivered to the transfer agent or to any other Person, all such additional documentation as may be necessary to effectuate
the transfer of the Securities Being Sold and the issuance of an unlegended certificate to any transferee thereof, all at the
Company’s expense.


 


(c)
Matters With Respect to Shares and Transfer Agent.


 


(i)
Removal of Restrictive Legends. In the event that any Buyer has any Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares bearing any restrictive
legends, and such Buyer, through its counsel or other representatives, submits to the Company’s transfer agent (“Transfer
Agent”) any such shares for the removal of the restrictive legends thereon, whether in connection with a sale of such shares
pursuant to any exemption to the registration requirements under the Securities Act, or otherwise, and the Company and or its
counsel refuses or fails for any reason (except to the extent that such refusal or failure is based solely on applicable Law,
including SEC interpretive guidance, that would prevent the removal of such restrictive legends) to render an opinion of counsel
or any other documents or certificates required for the removal of the restrictive legends, then the Company hereby agrees and
acknowledges that such Buyer is hereby irrevocably and expressly authorized to have counsel to such Buyer render any and all opinions
and other certificates or instruments which may be required for purposes of removing such restrictive legends, and the Company
hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Transfer Agent to, without any further confirmation or instructions from the Company,
issue any such shares without restrictive legends as instructed by such Buyer, and, unless such shares are issued by book entry,
surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the address as specified by such Buyer, certificates, registered in the
name of such Buyer or its designees, representing the shares of Common Stock to which such Buyer is entitled, without any restrictive
legends and otherwise freely transferable on the books and records of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is acknowledged
and agreed that the Company shall not be required to comply with a request to remove any restrictive legend for any Buyer who
at the time of the request is an Affiliate of the Company other than in connection with the sale of the shares underlying the
applicable certificate(s) in accordance with Rule 144.


 




    	18



     


    

 


(ii)
Authorized Agent of the Company. The Company hereby irrevocably appoints each Buyer and each Buyer’s counsel and its representatives,
each as the Company’s duly authorized agent and attorney-in-fact for the Company solely for the purposes of authorizing
and instructing the Transfer Agent to process issuances, transfers and legend removals upon instructions from each Buyer, or any
counsel or representatives of each Buyer, in strict compliance with this Section 7.3(c). The authorization and power of attorney
granted hereby is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable so long as any Buyer owns or has the right to receive, any shares
of the Company’s Common Stock hereunder. In this regard, the Company hereby confirms to the Transfer Agent and each Buyer
that it can NOT and will NOT give instructions, including stop orders or otherwise, inconsistent with the terms of this Section
7.3(c) with regard to the matters contemplated herein, and that each Buyer shall have the absolute right to provide a copy of
this Agreement to the Transfer Agent as evidence of the Company’s irrevocable authority for each Buyer and Transfer Agent
to process issuances, transfers and legend removals upon instructions from each Buyer, or any counsel or representatives of each
Buyer, in each case as specifically contemplated in this Section 7.3(c), without any further instructions, orders or confirmations
from the Company.


 


(iii)
Injunction and Specific Performance. The Company specifically acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened
breach by the Company of any provision of this Section 7.3(c), each Buyer will be irreparably damaged and that damages at law
would be an inadequate remedy if this Agreement were not specifically enforced. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened
breach of any provision of this Section 7.3(c) by the Company, each Buyer shall be entitled to seek, in addition to all other
rights or remedies such Buyer may have, at law or in equity, an injunction restraining such breach, without being required to
show any actual damage or to post any bond or other security, and/or to a decree for specific performance of the provisions of
this Section 7.3(c).


 


7.4.
Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Preferred Stock and the Warrants for working capital
and general corporate purposes, including to repay Permitted Indebtedness, and payment of the fees and expenses of this offering.


 


7.5.
Fees and Expenses. The Company agrees to pay to each Buyer (or any designee or agent of the Buyers), upon demand, or to otherwise
be responsible for the payment of, any and all costs, fees, charges and expenses, including the reasonable fees, costs, expenses
and disbursements of counsel for any Buyer, and of any experts and agents, which any Buyer may incur or which may otherwise be
due and payable in connection with: (i) any documentary stamp taxes, intangibles taxes, recording fees, filing fees, or other
similar taxes, fees or charges imposed by or due to any Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement or any other
Transaction Documents; (ii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of any Buyer under this Agreement or the Transaction
Documents; or (iii) the failure by the Company to perform or observe any of the provisions of this Agreement or any of the Transaction
Documents. The provisions of this Subsection shall survive the termination of this Agreement.


 




    	19



     


    

 


7.6.
Public Disclosure of Buyers. The Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Buyer, or include the name of any Buyer in
any filing with the SEC or any regulatory agency or Principal Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Buyer
except: (a) as required by federal securities law in connection with any registration statement contemplated by the Registration
Rights Agreement or (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by Law or Principal Trading Market regulations, in which case
the Company shall provide Buyers with prior written notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b).


 


7.7.
[Reserved.]


 


7.8.
Stockholder Approval. The Company covenants that, promptly following the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall take all
corporate action necessary to call a meeting of its stockholders (the “Stockholders Meeting”) for the purpose
of seeking approval of the Company’s stockholders to either (i) increase the number of shares of Common Stock the Company
is authorized to issue or (ii) effect a reverse split of the Common Stock, in either event sufficient to permit the conversion
in full of the Preferred Stock and the exercise in full of the Warrants in accordance with their terms (a “Capital Event”).
If the Company does not obtain Authorized Share Approval at the first meeting, the Company shall call a meeting every four (4)
months thereafter to seek Authorized Share Approval until the earlier of the date on which Authorized Share Approval is obtained
or the Warrants are no longer outstanding. No later than five (5) business days following stockholder approval of the Capital
Event, the Company shall file with the Secretary of State of Delaware a certificate of amendment to the Company’s Certificate
of Incorporation to effect the Capital Event, which certificate of amendment shall provide that it shall become immediately effective
upon filing. The Company shall issue a press release or file a current report on Form 8-K announcing the effectiveness of the
Capital Event no later than four (4) business days after such filing. Following such Capital Event.


 


7.9.
Authorized Shares. The Preferred Stock and the Warrants shall not be convertible or exercisable, respectively, until the Authorized
Share Increase Date. In connection with the Stockholders Meeting to obtain the Authorized Share Approval, the Company shall provide
each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval
of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its Board of Directors to recommend to the stockholders that
they approve such proposal. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Company fails to obtain Authorized Share Approval, in
no event shall any cash be payable to the Buyers with respect to the Preferred Stock or Warrants.


 


The
Company covenants that, from and after the Authorized Share Increase Date, during the period the Warrants are outstanding, it
will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant
Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under the Warrants. The Company further covenants that its issuance of the Warrants
shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the
exercise of the purchase rights under the Warrants. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure
that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements
of the Trading Market (as defined in the Warrants) upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant
Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by the Warrants will, upon exercise of the purchase
rights represented by the Warrants and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof
(other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

Except
and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Buyers, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation,
amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution,
issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the
terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all
such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above
the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may
be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares
upon the exercise of the Warrants and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions
or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform
its obligations under the Warrants.


 


Before
taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which the Warrants is exercisable or
in the Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrants), the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or
consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.


 


7.10.
Buyer Consent and Proxy. Each Buyer, severally and not jointly, covenants and agrees to vote in favor of any proposal to consummate
a Capital Event at a Stockholders Meeting as described in Section 7.8 herein. In furtherance of such covenant, each Buyer, severally
and not jointly, hereby appoints Robert A. Berman as proxy and attorney-in-fact for the limited purpose of representing and voting
all of Buyer’s shares of Preferred Stock in favor of such proposal to consummate a Capital Event at a Stockholders Meeting.

10.1.
Company’s Obligation to Indemnify. In consideration of the Buyers’ execution and delivery of this Agreement, and in
addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to defend and indemnify
each Buyer and each Buyer’s Affiliates and subsidiaries, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and
representatives, and the successors and assigns of each of them (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) and
to hold the Buyer Indemnified Parties harmless, from and against any and all Claims made, brought or asserted against the Buyer
Indemnified Parties, or any one of them, and the Company hereby agrees to pay or reimburse the Buyer Indemnified Parties for any
and all Claims payable by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties to any Person, including reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’

MATTERS
RELATING TO THE BUYERS


 


11.1.
Independent Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Buyer under this Agreement and the Transaction
Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for
the performance of the obligations of any other Buyer under any one or more of the Transaction Documents. The decision of each
Buyer to purchase the Preferred Stock and the Warrants pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by each such Buyer
independently of any other Buyer and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs,
operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company
or of its subsidiaries, if any, which may have been made or given by any other Buyer or any of their respective officers, directors,
principals, employees, agents, counsel or representatives (collectively, including the Buyer in question, the “Buyer Representatives”).
No Buyer Representative shall have any liability to any other Buyer or the Company relating to or arising from any such information,
materials, statements or opinions, if any. Each Buyer acknowledges that no other Buyer has acted as agent for such Buyer in connection
with making its investment hereunder and that no Buyer will be acting as agent of such other Buyer in connection with monitoring
its investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. Each Buyer 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 Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose.
The Company and each of the Buyers acknowledge that, for reasons of administrative convenience the Company has elected to provide
each of the Buyers with the same Transaction Documents for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple Buyers and not because
it was required or requested to do so by any Buyer. In furtherance of the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, the Company
and the Buyers acknowledge that nothing contained in this Agreement or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any
Buyer pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute any two or more Buyers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture
or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect
to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

by either the Company or a Buyer (as to itself but no other Buyer) upon written notice to the other, if the Closing shall not
have taken place by [ ], 2020 (the “Termination Date”), provided that (x) the Termination Date may be extended until
[ ], 2020 upon the mutual consent of the Placement Agent and the Company and (y) in the event that there shall have occurred any
material adverse change in the financial markets of the United States, any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other national
or international calamity or crisis the effect of which is such to make it, in the judgment of the Placement Agent, impracticable
to market the securities offered hereby or enforce contracts for the sale of those securities, the Termination Date may be unilaterally
extended by the Placement Agent for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days from the later of [ ], 2020 or such later date as
may have been previously extended by the Placement Agent and the Company pursuant to clause (x) above (the “Outside Closing
Date”).

to any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 13.5 shall be binding on all Buyers
and holders of Securities, as applicable, provided that no such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it (1) applies
to less than all of the holders of the Securities then outstanding or (2) imposes any obligation or liability on any Buyer without
such Buyer’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Buyer’s sole discretion). No waiver of
any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving
party, provided that the Required Buyers may waive any provision of this Agreement, and any waiver of any provision of this Agreement
made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 13.5 shall be binding on all Buyers and holders of Securities, as applicable,
provided that no such waiver shall be effective to the extent that it (1) applies to less than all of the holders of the Securities
then outstanding (unless a party gives a waiver as to itself only) or (2) imposes any obligation or liability on any Buyer without
such Buyer’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Buyer’s sole discretion). No consideration
shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless
the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to the Agreement. The Company has not, directly or indirectly, made
any agreements with any Buyers relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents
except as set forth in the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company confirms that, except as set forth
in this Agreement, no Buyer has made any commitment or promise or has any other obligation to provide any financing to the Company
or otherwise. As a material inducement for each Buyer to enter into this Agreement, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees
that no due diligence or other investigation or inquiry conducted by a Buyer, any of its advisors or any of its representatives

representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. “Required Buyers” means

giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions)
that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. The Company 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,
and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally
subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that
the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right
to serve process in any manner permitted by law. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable
under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict
therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid
or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the
Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to the Holder, to realize on any collateral or
any other security for such obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of the Holder. EACH OF THE PARTIES

Joint Preparation. The preparation of this Agreement has been a joint effort of the parties and the resulting documents shall
not, solely as a matter of judicial construction, be construed more severely against one of the parties than the other.

6.16 – Labor and Employment Matters.


 


On
July 9, 2020, the Company was served with a civil complaint filed in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of
Orange by a former employee, Robert Rankin, who resigned his employment on or about March 30, 2020. The case is entitled Rankin
v. Hancock Jaffe Laboratories, Inc. et al., Case No. 30-2020-01146555-CU-WR-CJC and was filed on May 27, 2020. The complaint asserts
several causes of action, including a cause of action for failure to timely pay Mr. Rankin’s accrued and unused vacation
and three months’ severance under his July 16, 2018 employment agreement with the Company. Mr. Rankin alleges that he was
forced to resign, however, we believe that he did not give the Company notice or an opportunity to cure the allegations. The complaint
seeks, inter alia, back pay, unpaid wages, compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees, and costs. The Company
intends to vigorously defend the claims, investigate the allegations, and assert counterclaims. Mr. Rankin resigned as the Company’s
Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer on March 30, 2020.
