ARTICLE III.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

3.1 Representations
and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with each of the Purchasers that as of the date
of this Agreement, unless such representation, warranty or agreement specifies a different time:

 

(a) Registration
Statement and Prospectus. The Company and, assuming no act or omission on the part of a Purchaser that would make such statement untrue,
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement meet the requirements for and comply with the conditions for the use of Form S-3 under
the Securities Act. The Registration Statement has been filed with the Commission and has been declared effective under the Securities
Act. No stop order of the Commission preventing or suspending any Prospectus, or the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, has
been issued, and, to the Company’s knowledge, no proceedings for such purpose have been instituted by the Commission. The Registration
Statement and, assuming no act or omission on the part of a Purchaser that would make such statement untrue, the offer and sale of Shares
as contemplated hereby meet the requirements of Rule 415 under the Securities Act and comply in all material respects with Rule 415. Any
statutes, regulations, contracts or other documents that are required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus
or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement have been so described or filed. Copies of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus,
and any such amendments or supplements and all documents incorporated by reference therein that were filed with the Commission on or prior
to the date of this Agreement have been delivered, or are available through EDGAR, to each Purchaser and its counsel. The Company has
not distributed and, prior to the Closing Date, will not distribute any offering material in connection with the offering or sale of the
Shares other than the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to which each Purchaser has consented,
any such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Common Stock is currently listed on the Exchange under the
trading symbol “ICCC”. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, including the Incorporated Documents, the Company
has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received notice from the Exchange to the effect that the Company is not in compliance
with the listing or maintenance requirements. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, including the Incorporated Documents,
or the Prospectus, the Company has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be in compliance with all
such listing and maintenance requirements.

 

(b) No
Misstatement or Omission. The Registration Statement, when it became effective, and the Prospectus, and any amendment or
supplement thereto, on the date of such Prospectus or amendment or supplement, conformed and will conform in all material respects
with the requirements of the Securities Act. On the Closing Date, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as of such date,
will conform in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act. The Registration Statement, when it became
effective, did not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The Prospectus and any amendment and supplement thereto, on the date
thereof and on the Closing Date, did not or will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The documents
incorporated by reference in the Prospectus did not, and any further documents filed and incorporated by reference therein will not,
when filed with the Commission, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
stated in such document or necessary to make the statements in such document, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading. The foregoing shall not apply to statements in, or omissions from, any such document made in reliance upon,
and in conformity with, information furnished to the Company by a Purchaser expressly for use therein.

 

    5

    

    

 

(c) Conformity
with Exchange Act. The documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto, when such documents were or are filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act, conformed or will conform in all material respects
with the requirements of the Exchange Act, as applicable.

to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the financial
position of the Company as of the dates indicated and the results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods specified
(subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments); the other financial data with respect to the Company
contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus are accurately and fairly presented and prepared
on a basis consistent with the financial statements and books and records of the Company; there are no financial statements (historical
or pro forma) that are required to be included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus that are not
included or incorporated by reference as required; the Company does not have any material liabilities or obligations, direct or contingent
(including any off-balance sheet obligations), not described in the Registration Statement (including the exhibits thereto), and the Prospectus

and all disclosures contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus regarding “non-GAAP
financial measures” (as such term is defined by the rules and regulations of the Commission) comply in all material respects with
Regulation G of the Exchange Act and Item 10 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, to the extent applicable.

under the laws of each other jurisdiction in which its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its businesses requires such qualification,
and has all corporate power and authority necessary to own or hold its properties and to conduct its businesses as described in the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing or have such power or authority would not,
individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties,
financial condition, prospects, stockholder’s equity or results of operations of the Company taken as a whole, or prevent or materially
interfere with consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

 

(g) Subsidiaries.

which any of the property or assets of the Company is subject; or (iii) in violation of any law or statute or any judgment, order, rule
or regulation of any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Company, except, in the
case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for any such violation or default that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the performance of its
obligations hereunder shall not cause a default under any agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company
is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company is subject, except for any such default that would not, individually
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

ordinary course of business, (B) as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement or Prospectus (including any document deemed

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

 

4.1 Integration.
The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate any transaction 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 for purposes of the
rules and regulations of the Exchange 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.

 

4.2 Securities
Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall, by 4:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Trading Day immediately following the date
hereof, issue a press release disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, and within the time required by such
form issue a Current Report on Form 8-K including the Transaction Documents as exhibits thereto. From and after the issuance of such Current
Report on Form 8-K, the Company shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to any of the Purchasers
by the Company, or any of their respective officers or directors, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents. 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 the Exchange, without the prior written consent of such
Purchaser, except (a) as required by federal securities law in connection with the filing of final Transaction Documents (including signature
pages thereto) with the Commission and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Exchange regulations, in which case the
Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure permitted hereunder.

 

4.3 Non-Public
Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents,
the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide any Purchaser or its agents or
counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material nonpublic information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser
shall have executed a written agreement with the Company regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands
and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

 

4.4 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.

 

4.5 Listing of Common
Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on the Exchange, and
concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall apply to list or quote all of the Shares on the Exchange and promptly secure the listing
of all of the Shares on the Exchange. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other
trading market, it will include in such application all of the Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of
the Shares to be listed or quoted on such other trading market as promptly as possible. The Company will then take all action reasonably
necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a trading market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s
reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of such trading market.

 

    13

    

    

 

4.6 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 any 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.

 

4.7 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
4.2. 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 4.2, such Purchaser
will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and all information provided in connection therewith.
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 4.2, (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 4.2 and (iii) no Purchaser
shall have any duty of confidentiality to the Company after the issuance of the initial press release as described in Section 4.2. 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.

case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought. 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.

 

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

Third-Party Beneficiaries. 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.

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, 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 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 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 suit, 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 either party
shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then, in addition to the obligations of
the Company under Section 4.7, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other 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.

of limitations.

 

    15

    

    

 

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 the other party, it being
understood that both 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 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.

 

5.14 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.

 

5.15 Payment
Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser
enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part
thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required
to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without
limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration
the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such
payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 

5.16 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 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 their review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. 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.

 

5.17 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.

 

    16

    

    

 

5.18 Construction.
The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has 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 hereto. 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.

 

5.19 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
