2.           Registration.

Registration. The Company shall prepare and, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Filing Deadline, file with
the SEC an initial Registration Statement on Form S-1 covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities, provided that such
initial Registration Statement shall register for resale at least the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Registration
Amount as of the date such Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC. Such initial Registration Statement, and each
other Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, shall contain (except if otherwise directed
by the Required Holders) the “Selling Stockholders” and “Plan of Distribution” sections in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Company shall use its best efforts to have such initial Registration
Statement, and each other Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, declared effective
by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the applicable Effectiveness Deadline for such Registration Statement.

 

    	3

    	 

    

  

(b)          Legal
Counsel. Subject to Section 5 hereof, Greenberg Traurig, LLP, counsel solely to the lead investor (“Legal Counsel”)
shall review and oversee any registration, solely on behalf of the lead investor, pursuant to this Section 2.

 

(c)          [Intentionally
Omitted].

 

(d)          Sufficient
Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of shares available under any Registration Statement is insufficient to
cover all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement or an Investor’s allocated
portion of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(h), the Company shall amend such Registration Statement (if permissible),
or file with the SEC a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover
at least the Required Registration Amount as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the filing of such amendment
or new Registration Statement, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than fifteen (15) days after the
necessity therefor arises (but taking account of any Staff position with respect to the date on which the Staff will permit such
amendment to the Registration Statement and/or such new Registration Statement (as the case may be) to be filed with the SEC).
The Company shall use its best efforts to cause such amendment to such Registration Statement and/or such new Registration Statement
(as the case may be) to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof with the SEC, but in no event later
than the applicable Effectiveness Deadline for such Registration Statement. For purposes of the foregoing provision, the number
of shares available under a Registration Statement shall be deemed “insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities”
if at any time the number of shares of Common Stock available for resale under the applicable Registration Statement is less than
the product determined by multiplying (i) the Required Registration Amount as of such time by (ii) 0.90. The calculation set forth
in the foregoing sentence shall be made without regard to any limitations on (i) conversion of the Notes (and such calculation
shall assume that the Notes are then fully convertible into shares of Common Stock at the then-prevailing applicable Conversion
Price) and (ii) exercise of the Warrants (and such calculation shall assume that the Warrants are then fully exercisable for shares
of Common Stock at the then-prevailing applicable Exercise Price).

 

    	4

    	 

    

 

(e)          Effect
of Failure to File and Obtain and Maintain Effectiveness of any Registration Statement. If (i) a Registration Statement covering
the resale of all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered thereby and required to be filed by the Company pursuant
to this Agreement is (A) not filed with the SEC on or before the Filing Deadline for such Registration Statement (a “Filing
Failure”) (it being understood that if the Company files a Registration Statement without affording each Investor and
Legal Counsel the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section 3(c) hereof, the Company shall be deemed
to not have satisfied this clause (i)(A) and such event shall be deemed to be a Filing Failure) or (B) not declared effective
by the SEC on or before the Effectiveness Deadline for such Registration Statement (an “Effectiveness Failure”)
(it being understood that if on the Business Day immediately following the Effective Date for such Registration Statement the Company
shall not have filed a “final” prospectus for such Registration Statement with the SEC under Rule 424(b) in accordance
with Section 3(b) (whether or not such a prospectus is technically required by such rule), the Company shall be deemed to
not have satisfied this clause (i)(B) and such event shall be deemed to be an Effectiveness Failure), (ii) other than during an
Allowable Grace Period (as defined below), on any day after the Effective Date of a Registration Statement sales of all of the
Registrable Securities required to be included on such Registration Statement (disregarding any reduction pursuant to Section 2(f))
cannot be made pursuant to such Registration Statement (including, without limitation, because of a failure to keep such Registration
Statement effective, a failure to disclose such information as is necessary for sales to be made pursuant to such Registration
Statement, a suspension or delisting of (or a failure to timely list) the shares of Common Stock on an Eligible Market (as defined
in the Securities Purchase Agreement), or a failure to register a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock or by reason of a
stop order) or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use for any reason (a “Maintenance Failure”),
or (iii) if a Registration Statement is not effective for any reason or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use
for any reason, the Company fails to file with the SEC any required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act such that
it is not in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) (a “Current Public Information Failure”)
as a result of which any of the Investors are unable to sell Registrable Securities without restriction under Rule 144 (including,
without limitation, volume restrictions), then, as partial relief for the damages to any holder by reason of any such delay in,
or reduction of, its ability to sell the underlying shares of Common Stock (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies
available at law or in equity), the Company shall pay to each holder of Registrable Securities relating to such Registration Statement
an amount in cash equal to one percent (1%) of such Investor’s original principal amount stated in such Investor’s
Note on the Closing Date on every thirty (30) day anniversary of (I) a Filing Failure until such Filing Failure is cured; (II)
an Effectiveness Failure until such Effectiveness Failure is cured; (III) a Maintenance Failure until such Maintenance Failure
is cured; and (IV) a Current Public Information Failure until the earlier of (i) the date such Current Public Information Failure
is cured and (ii) such time that such public information is no longer required pursuant to Rule 144 (in each case, pro rated
for periods totaling less than thirty (30) days). The payments to which a holder of Registrable Securities shall be entitled pursuant
to this Section 2(e) are referred to herein as “Registration Delay Payments.” Following the initial Registration
Delay Payment for any particular event or failure (which shall be paid on the date of such event or failure, as set forth above),
without limiting the foregoing, if an event or failure giving rise to the Registration Delay Payments is cured prior to any thirty
(30) day anniversary of such event or failure, then such Registration Delay Payment shall be made on the third (3rd)
Business Day after such cure. In the event the Company fails to make Registration Delay Payments in a timely manner in accordance
with the foregoing, such Registration Delay Payments shall bear interest at the rate of one percent (1%) per month (prorated for
partial months) until paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Registration Delay Payments shall be owed to an Investor
(other than with respect to a Maintenance Failure resulting from a suspension or delisting of (or a failure to timely list) the
shares of Common Stock on the Principal Market) with respect to any period during which all of such Investor’s Registrable
Securities may be sold by such Investor without restriction under Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions)
and without the need for current public information required by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable).

 

    	5

    	 

    

 

(f)          Offering.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”)
or the SEC seeks to characterize any offering pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement as constituting
an offering of securities by, or on behalf of, the Company, or in any other manner, such that the Staff or the SEC
do not permit such Registration Statement to become effective and used for resales in a manner that does not constitute such
an offering and that permits the continuous resale at the market by the Investors participating therein (or as otherwise
may be acceptable to each Investor) without being named therein as an “underwriter,” then the Company shall reduce
the number of shares to be included in such Registration Statement by all Investors until such time as the Staff and the SEC
shall so permit such Registration Statement to become effective as aforesaid. In making such reduction, the Company shall reduce
the number of shares to be included by all Investors on a pro rata basis (based upon the number of Registrable Securities otherwise
required to be included for each Investor) unless the inclusion of shares by a particular Investor or a particular set of Investors
are resulting in the Staff or the SEC’s “by or on behalf of the Company” offering position, in which event the
shares held by such Investor or set of Investors shall be the only shares subject to reduction (and if by a set of Investors on
a pro rata basis by such Investors or on such other basis as would result in the exclusion of the least number of shares by all
such Investors); provided, that, with respect to such pro rata portion allocated to any Investor, such Investor may elect the allocation
of such pro rata portion among the Registrable Securities of such Investor. In addition, in the event that the Staff or the SEC
requires any Investor seeking to sell securities under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement to be
specifically identified as an ”underwriter” in order to permit such Registration Statement to become effective,
and such Investor does not consent to being so named as an underwriter in such Registration Statement, then, in each such
case, the Company shall reduce the total number of Registrable Securities to be registered on behalf of such Investor, until
such time as the Staff or the SEC does not require such identification or until such Investor accepts such identification and the
manner thereof. Any reduction pursuant to this paragraph will first reduce all Registrable Securities other than those issued
pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. In the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this
paragraph, an affected Investor shall have the right to require, upon delivery of a written request to the Company signed
by such Investor, the Company to file a registration statement within twenty (20) days of such request (subject to any restrictions
imposed by Rule 415 or required by the Staff or the SEC) for resale by such Investor in a manner acceptable to such Investor,
and the Company shall following such request cause to be and keep effective such registration statement in the same manner
as otherwise contemplated in this Agreement for registration statements hereunder, in each case until such time as: (i)
all Registrable Securities held by such Investor have been registered and sold pursuant to an effective Registration Statement
in a manner acceptable to such Investor or (ii) all Registrable Securities may be resold by such Investor without restriction
(including, without limitation, volume limitations) pursuant to Rule 144 (taking account of any Staff position with respect to
“affiliate” status) and without the need for current public information required by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2),
if applicable) or (iii) such Investor agrees to be named as an underwriter in any such Registration Statement in a manner acceptable
to such Investor as to all Registrable Securities held by such Investor and that have not theretofore been included in a Registration
Statement under this Agreement (it being understood that the special demand right under this sentence may be exercised by an Investor
multiple times and with respect to limited amounts of Registrable Securities in order to permit the resale thereof by such Investor
as contemplated above).

 

    	6

    	 

    

 

(g)          Piggyback
Registrations. Without limiting any obligation of the Company hereunder or under the Securities Purchase Agreement, if there
is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities or the prospectus contained therein is not
available for use and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement relating to an offering
for its own account or the account of others under the 1933 Act of any of its equity securities (other than on Form S-4 or Form
S-8 (each as promulgated under the 1933 Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection
with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s stock option
or other employee benefit plans), then the Company shall deliver to each Investor a written notice of such determination and, if
within fifteen (15) days after the date of the delivery of such notice, any such Investor shall so request in writing, the
Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Investor requests to be
registered; provided, however, the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2(g)
that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 without restriction (including, without limitation, volume restrictions) and
without the need for current public information required by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) or that are
the subject of a then-effective Registration Statement.

 

(h)          Allocation
of Registrable Securities. The initial number of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement and any increase
in the number of Registrable Securities included therein shall be allocated pro rata among the Investors based on the number of
Registrable Securities held by each Investor at the time such Registration Statement covering such initial number of Registrable
Securities or increase thereof is declared effective by the SEC. In the event that an Investor sells or otherwise transfers any
of such Investor’s Registrable Securities, each transferee or assignee (as the case may be) that becomes an Investor shall
be allocated a pro rata portion of the then-remaining number of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement
for such transferor or assignee (as the case may be). Any shares of Common Stock included in a Registration Statement and which
remain allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement shall be
allocated to the remaining Investors, pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities then held by such Investors which
are covered by such Registration Statement.

 

(i)          No
Inclusion of Other Securities. The Company shall in no event include any securities other than Registrable Securities on any
Registration Statement filed in accordance herewith without the prior written consent of the Required Holders. Until the Applicable
Date (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), the Company shall not enter into any agreement providing any registration
rights to any of its security holders, except as otherwise permitted under the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

3.           Related
Obligations.

 

The Company shall use
its best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition
thereof, and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:

 

    	7

    	 

    

 

(a)          The
Company shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to all the Registrable Securities (but
in no event later than the applicable Filing Deadline) and use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become
effective as soon as practicable after such filing (but in no event later than the Effectiveness Deadline). Subject to Allowable
Grace Periods, the Company shall keep each Registration Statement effective (and the prospectus contained therein available for
use) pursuant to Rule 415 for resales by the Investors on a delayed or continuous basis at then-prevailing market prices (and not
fixed prices) at all times until the earlier of (i) the date as of which all of the Investors may sell all of the Registrable Securities
required to be covered by such Registration Statement (disregarding any reduction pursuant to Section 2(f)) without restriction
pursuant to Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions) and without the need for current public information required
by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) or (ii) the date on which the Investors shall have sold all of the Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement (the “Registration Period”). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall ensure that, when filed and at all times while effective, each Registration
Statement (including, without limitation, all amendments and supplements thereto) and the prospectus (including, without limitation,
all amendments and supplements thereto) used in connection with such Registration Statement (1) shall not contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein
(in the case of prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading and (2) will disclose (whether
directly or through incorporation by reference to other SEC filings to the extent permitted) all material information regarding
the Company and its securities. The Company shall submit to the SEC, within two (2) Business Days after the later of the date that
(i) the Company learns that no review of a particular Registration Statement will be made by the Staff or that the Staff has no
further comments on a particular Registration Statement (as the case may be) and (ii) the consent of Legal Counsel is obtained
pursuant to Section 3(c) (which consent shall be immediately sought), a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such
Registration Statement to a time and date not later than twenty-four (24) hours after the submission of such request.

 

(b)          Subject
to Section 3(r) of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including, without limitation,
post-effective amendments) and supplements to each Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with each such
Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary
to keep each such Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period for such Registration Statement,
and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities
of the Company required to be covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall
have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such
Registration Statement; provided, however, by 8:30 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately following each Effective
Date, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in
connection with sales pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement (whether or not such a prospectus is technically required
by such rule). In the case of amendments and supplements to any Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant
to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to this Section 3(b)) by reason of the Company filing a report
on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K or any analogous report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”),
the Company shall, if permitted under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, have incorporated such report by reference
into such Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the SEC on the same day on which
the 1934 Act report is filed which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement such Registration Statement.

 

    	8

    	 

    

 

(c)          The
Company shall (A) permit Legal Counsel and legal counsel for each other Investor to review and comment upon (i) each Registration
Statement at least three (3) Business Days prior to its filing with the SEC and (ii) all amendments and supplements to each Registration
Statement (including, without limitation, the prospectus contained therein) (except for Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and any similar or successor reports) within a reasonable number of days prior
to their filing with the SEC, and (B) not file any Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto in a form to which
Legal Counsel or any legal counsel for any other Investor reasonably objects. The Company shall not submit a request for acceleration
of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto or to any prospectus contained therein
without the prior consent of Legal Counsel, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall promptly furnish
to Legal Counsel and legal counsel for each other Investor, without charge, (i) copies of any correspondence from the SEC or the
Staff to the Company or its representatives relating to each Registration Statement, provided that such correspondence shall not
contain any material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreement), (ii) after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, one (1) copy of each Registration Statement and any amendment(s)
and supplement(s) thereto, including, without limitation, financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein
by reference, if requested by an Investor, and all exhibits and (iii) upon the effectiveness of each Registration Statement,
one (1) copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto. The Company
shall reasonably cooperate with Legal Counsel and legal counsel for each other Investor in performing the Company’s obligations
pursuant to this Section 3.

 

(d)          The
Company shall promptly furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement, without
charge, (i) after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, at least one (1) copy of each Registration Statement and any amendment(s)
and supplement(s) thereto, including, without limitation, financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein
by reference, if requested by an Investor, all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) upon the effectiveness of each Registration
Statement, ten (10) copies of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto
(or such other number of copies as such Investor may reasonably request from time to time) and (iii) such other documents, including,
without limitation, copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as such Investor may reasonably request from time to time in
order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor.

 

(e)          The
Company shall use its best efforts to (i) register and qualify, unless an exemption from registration and qualification applies,
the resale by Investors of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue
sky” laws of all applicable jurisdictions in the United States, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments
(including, without limitation, post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary
to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain
such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably
necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, the Company shall
not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would
not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(e), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction,
or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify Legal Counsel,
legal counsel for each other Investor and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification
with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities
or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening
of any proceeding for such purpose.

 

    	9

    	 

    

 

(f)          The
Company shall notify Legal Counsel, legal counsel for each other Investor and each Investor in writing of the happening of any
event, as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration
Statement, as then in effect, may include an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material, non-public information regarding the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries), and, subject to Section 3(r), promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration
Statement and such prospectus contained therein to correct such untrue statement or omission and deliver ten (10) copies of such
supplement or amendment to Legal Counsel, legal counsel for each other Investor and each Investor (or such other number of copies
as Legal Counsel, legal counsel for each other Investor or such Investor may reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly
notify Legal Counsel, legal counsel for each other Investor and each Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become
effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to Legal Counsel, legal counsel for each other Investor and each
Investor by facsimile or e-mail on the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight mail), and when the Company receives written
notice from the SEC that a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment will be reviewed by the SEC, (ii) of any request
by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus or related information, (iii) of the
Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate; and
(iv) of the receipt of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority for any additional information
relating to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto or any related prospectus. The Company shall respond
as promptly as practicable to any comments received from the SEC with respect to each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto
(it being understood and agreed that the Company’s response to any such comments shall be delivered to the SEC no later than
fifteen (15) Business Days after the receipt thereof).

 

(g)          The
Company shall (i) use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of each Registration
Statement or the use of any prospectus contained therein, or the suspension of the qualification, or the loss of an exemption from
qualification, of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued,
to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and (ii) notify Legal Counsel, legal counsel
for each other Investor and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof
or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

(h)          If
any Investor may be required under applicable securities law to be described in any Registration Statement as an underwriter and
such Investor consents to so being named an underwriter, at the request of any Investor, the Company shall furnish to such Investor,
on the date of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as an Investor may
reasonably request (i) a letter, dated such date, from the Company’s independent certified public accountants in form and
substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering,
addressed to the Investors, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Company for purposes of such
Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the
Investors.

 

(i)          If
any Investor may be required under applicable securities law to be described in any Registration Statement as an underwriter and
such Investor consents to so being named an underwriter, upon the written request of such Investor, the Company shall make available
for inspection by (i) such Investor, (ii) legal counsel for such Investor and (iii) one (1) firm of accountants or other agents
retained by such Investor (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent
corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably deemed
necessary by each Inspector, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any
Inspector may reasonably request; provided, however, each Inspector shall agree in writing to hold in strict confidence and not
to make any disclosure (except to such Investor) or use of any Record or other information which the Company’s board of directors
determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (1) the disclosure
of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required
under the 1933 Act, (2) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court
or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (3) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the public
other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreement). Such Investor agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental
body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense,
to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential.
Nothing herein (or in any other confidentiality agreement between the Company and such Investor, if any) shall be deemed to limit
any Investor’s ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner which is otherwise consistent with applicable laws and
regulations.

 

(j)          The
Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning an Investor provided to the Company unless
(i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information
is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required to be disclosed
in such Registration Statement pursuant to the 1933 Act, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena
or other final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has
been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning an Investor is sought in or by a
court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to such Investor and allow
such Investor, at such Investor’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective
order for, such information.

(k)          Without
limiting any obligation of the Company under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts either to
(i) cause all of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on
which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable
Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, (ii) secure designation and quotation of all of the Registrable
Securities covered by each Registration Statement on an Eligible Market (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), or (iii)
if, despite the Company’s best efforts to satisfy the preceding clauses (i) or (ii) the Company is unsuccessful in satisfying
the preceding clauses (i) or (ii), without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to use its best efforts to arrange for at
least two market makers to register with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) as such with
respect to such Registrable Securities. In addition, the Company shall cooperate with each Investor and any broker or dealer through
which any such Investor proposes to sell its Registrable Securities in effecting a filing with FINRA pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110
as requested by such Investor. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under
this Section 3(k).

 

(l)          The
Company shall cooperate with the Investors who hold Registrable Securities being offered and, to the extent applicable, facilitate
the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities
to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts (as the
case may be) as the Investors may reasonably request from time to time and registered in such names as the Investors may request.

 

(m)          If
requested by an Investor, the Company shall as soon as practicable after receipt of notice from such Investor and subject to Section 3(r)
hereof, (i) incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as an Investor reasonably requests
to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information
with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other
terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement or prospectus contained therein
if reasonably requested by an Investor holding any Registrable Securities.

 

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

 

    	12

    	 

    

 

(o)          The
Company shall make generally available to its security holders as soon as practical, but not later than ninety (90) days after
the close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying with, and in the manner provided by, the provisions
of Rule 158 under the 1933 Act) covering a twelve-month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company’s
fiscal quarter next following the applicable Effective Date of each Registration Statement.

 

(p)          The
Company shall otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with
any registration hereunder.

 

(q)          Within
one (1) Business Day after a Registration Statement which covers Registrable Securities is declared effective by the SEC, the Company
shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities
(with copies to the Investors whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement) confirmation that such
Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 

(r)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein (but subject to the last sentence of this Section 3(r)), at any time after the Effective Date
of a particular Registration Statement, the Company may delay the disclosure of material, non-public information concerning the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the board of directors
of the Company, in the best interest of the Company and, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, otherwise required (a “Grace
Period”), provided that the Company shall promptly notify the Investors in writing of the (i) existence of material,
non-public information giving rise to a Grace Period (provided that in each such notice the Company shall not disclose the content
of such material, non-public information to any of the Investors) and the date on which such Grace Period will begin and (ii) date
on which such Grace Period ends, provided further that (I) no Grace Period shall exceed ten (10) consecutive days and during any
three hundred sixty five (365) day period all such Grace Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of thirty (30) days, (II) the first
day of any Grace Period must be at least five (5) Trading Days after the last day of any prior Grace Period and (III) no Grace
Period may exist during the sixty (60) Trading Day period immediately following the Effective Date of such Registration Statement
(provided that such sixty (60) Trading Day period shall be extended by the number of Trading Days during such period and any extension
thereof contemplated by this proviso during which such Registration Statement is not effective or the prospectus contained therein
is not available for use) (each, an “Allowable Grace Period”). “Allowable Grace Period” shall also
mean up to thirty (30) calendar days after the Company files its Form 10-K so long as it files its Post-Effective Amendment to
any Registration Statement within ten days after the date on which it files its Form 10-K. Any Allowable Grace Period under the
preceding sentence shall not be counted against the period set forth in (I) in the preceding sentence. For purposes of determining
the length of a Grace Period above, such Grace Period shall begin on and include the date the Investors receive the notice referred
to in clause (i) above and shall end on and include the later of the date the Investors receive the notice referred to in clause
(ii) above and the date referred to in such notice. The provisions of Section 3(g) hereof shall not be applicable during the
period of any Allowable Grace Period. Upon expiration of each Grace Period, the Company shall again be bound by the first sentence
of Section 3(f) with respect to the information giving rise thereto unless such material, non-public information is no longer
applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3(r), the Company shall cause its transfer
agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of the Securities
Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which such Investor has entered into a
contract for sale, and delivered a copy of the prospectus included as part of the particular Registration Statement to the extent
applicable, prior to such Investor’s receipt of the notice of a Grace Period and for which the Investor has not yet settled.

 

    	13

    	 

    

 

(s)          The
Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by each Investors of its Registrable
Securities pursuant to each Registration Statement.

 

4.           Obligations
of the Investors.

 

(a)          At
least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of each Registration Statement, the Company shall notify
each Investor in writing of the information the Company requires from each such Investor with respect to such Registration Statement.
It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with
respect to the Registrable Securities of a particular Investor that such Investor shall furnish to the Company such information
regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held
by it, as shall be reasonably required to effect and maintain the effectiveness of the registration of such Registrable Securities
and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.

 

(b)          Each
Investor, by such Investor’s acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably
requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of each Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor
has notified the Company in writing of such Investor’s election to exclude all of such Investor’s Registrable Securities
from such Registration Statement.

 

(c)          Each
Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(g)
or the first sentence of 3(f), such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any
Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until such Investor’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented
or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(g) or the first sentence of Section 3(f) or receipt of notice that no
supplement or amendment is required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(c), the Company shall cause
its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of
the Securities Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which such Investor has
entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event
of the kind described in Section 3(g) or the first sentence of Section 3(f) and for which such Investor has not yet settled.

 

    	14

    	 

    

 

(d)          Each
Investor acknowledges and agrees that any Registrable Securities to be resold pursuant to any Registration Statement may only be
resold (i) at such times after such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC and to the extent at such time
such Registration Statement continues to be effective, (ii) pursuant to and in the manner contemplated by such Registration Statement,
including the “Plan of Distribution” set forth therein and (iii) in compliance with those
provisions of the 1933 Act reasonably related to a resale by such Investor of such Registrable
Securities pursuant to the prospectus included in such Registration Statement, including, but not limited to, the prospectus delivery
requirements of the 1933 Act.

 

(e)          Each
Investor covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the 1933 Act as applicable to it
in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.

 

5.           Expenses
of Registration.

 

All reasonable expenses,
other than underwriting discounts and commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant
to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting
fees, FINRA filing fees (if any) and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be paid by the Company. The Company
shall engage and utilize Foley & Lardner LLP as special securities counsel to the Company with respect to disclosures related
specifically to self amortizing debt transactions, in connection with registration, filing or qualification pursuant to Sections 2
and 3 of this Agreement; provided, that the Company shall not be required under this Agreement to pay any fees and expenses of
Foley & Lardner LLP in excess of $50,000. The Company shall also reimburse Legal Counsel for its fees and disbursements in
connection with registration, filing or qualification pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement which amount shall be
limited to $5,000.

6.           Indemnification.

 

(a)          To
the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Investor and each
of its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, agents, advisors, representatives (and any other Persons
with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title)
and each Person, if any, who controls such Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act and each of the directors,
officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, agents, advisors, representatives (and any other Persons with a functionally
equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling
Persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses, obligations, claims, damages, liabilities, contingencies,
judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs (including, without limitation, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs
of defense and investigation), amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”)
incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from
the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending
or threatened, whether or not an Indemnified Person is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to
which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration
Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under
the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue
Sky Filing”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus
(as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or
alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances
under which the statements therein were made, not misleading or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the
1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder
relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement (the matters in the foregoing
clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, “Violations”). Subject to Section 6(c), the Company shall
reimburse the Indemnified Persons, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other
reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim
by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information
furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person for such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with
the preparation of such Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto and (ii) shall not be available
to a particular Investor to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of such Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered
the prospectus made available by the Company (to the extent applicable), including, without limitation, a corrected prospectus,
if such prospectus or corrected prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(d) and then only
if, and to the extent that, following the receipt of the corrected prospectus no grounds for such Claim would have existed; and
(iii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent
of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect
regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of any of the Registrable
Securities by any of the Investors pursuant to Section 9.

 

    	16

    	 

    

 

(b)          In
connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is participating, such Investor agrees to severally and not jointly
indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company,
each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified
Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified
Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case, to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation
occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Investor expressly for use
in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6(c) and the below provisos in this Section 6(b),
such Investor will reimburse an Indemnified Party any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in
connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b)
and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any
Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, provided further that such Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a
Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor as a result of the applicable sale of Registrable
Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of any of the Registrable Securities by any of the
Investors pursuant to Section 9.

 

    	17

    	 

    

 

(c)          Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement
of any action or proceeding (including, without limitation, any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified
Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party
under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying
party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying
party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party
and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party (as the case may be); provided, however, an Indemnified Person or Indemnified
Party (as the case may be) shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid
by the indemnifying party if: (i) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the indemnifying
party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Claim and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified
Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) in any such Claim; or (iii) the named parties to any such Claim (including, without
limitation, any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) and the indemnifying
party, and such Indemnified Person or such Indemnified Party (as the case may be) shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict
of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Person or such Indemnified Party and the
indemnifying party (in which case, if such Indemnified Person or such Indemnified Party (as the case may be) notifies the indemnifying
party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, then the indemnifying party
shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, provided
further that in the case of clause (iii) above the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses
of more than one (1) separate legal counsel for such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be). The Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Person (as the case may be) shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection with any
negotiation or defense of any such action or Claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information
reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person (as the case may be) which relates to such action or Claim.
The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person (as the case may be) reasonably apprised at all times
as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for
any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, the indemnifying
party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent
of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person (as the case may be), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement
or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Person (as the case may be) of a release from all liability in respect to such Claim or litigation, and such
settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnified Party. Following indemnification as provided
for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person (as the
case may be) with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been
made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such
action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may
be) under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability
to defend such action.

 

    	18

    	 

    

 

(d)          No
Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities who is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the 1933 Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to indemnification from any Person involved in such sale
of Registrable Securities who is not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

(e)          The
indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the
investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.

 

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

 

7.           Contribution.

 

To the extent any indemnification
by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect
to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however:
(i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification under the
fault standards set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement, (ii) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which
Person is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) in connection with such
sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation; and (iii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the amount
of net proceeds received by such seller from the applicable sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Investor shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount
in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Investor from the applicable sale of the Registrable
Securities subject to the Claim exceeds the amount of any damages that such Investor has otherwise been required to pay, or would
otherwise be required to pay under Section 6(b), by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission.

8.           Reports
Under the 1934 Act.

 

With a view to making
available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144, the Company agrees to:

 

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

 

(b)          file
with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so
long as the Company remains subject to such requirements (it being understood and agreed that nothing herein shall limit any obligations
of the Company under the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the
applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

 

(c)          furnish
to each Investor so long as such Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company,
if true, that it has complied with the reporting, submission and posting requirements of Rule 144 and the 1934 Act, (ii) a copy
of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company with
the SEC if such reports are not publicly available via EDGAR, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested
to permit the Investors to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

 

9.           Assignment
of Registration Rights.

 

All or any portion
of the rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by each Investor to any transferee or assignee (as the case
may be) of all or any portion of such Investor’s Registrable Securities, Notes or Warrants if: (i) such Investor agrees in
writing with such transferee or assignee (as the case may be) to assign all or any portion of such rights, and a copy of such agreement
is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment (as the case may be); (ii) the Company is,
within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment (as the case may be), furnished with written notice of (a) the name
and address of such transferee or assignee (as the case may be), and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration
rights are being transferred or assigned (as the case may be); (iii) immediately following such transfer or assignment (as
the case may be) the further disposition of such securities by such transferee or assignee (as the case may be) is restricted under
the 1933 Act or applicable state securities laws if so required; (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice
contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence such transferee or assignee (as the case may be) agrees in writing with the Company
to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein; (v) such transfer or assignment (as the case may be) shall have been made
in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Notes and the Warrants (as the case may
be); and (vi) such transfer or assignment (as the case may be) shall have been conducted in accordance with all applicable federal
and state securities laws.

10.         Amendment
of Registration Rights.

 

Provisions of this
Agreement may be amended only with the written consent of the Company and the Required Holders. Any amendment effected in accordance
with this Section 10 shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company, provided that no such amendment shall be effective
to the extent that it (1) applies to less than all of the holders of Registrable Securities or (2) imposes any obligation or liability
on any Investor without such Investor’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Investor’s
sole discretion). No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving
party. 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 this Agreement.

or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or
election received from such record owner of such Registrable Securities.

 

(b)          Any
notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be

occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were
otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each party hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent

(d)          All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal
laws of the State of New York, without 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. 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, 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. 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 to such party at the address for such 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 manner permitted by law. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction,
such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that
jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. EACH PARTY HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER
OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

(e)          This
Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced
herein and therein constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto and thereto solely with respect to the subject matter
hereof and thereof. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to
herein and therein. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and
the instruments referenced herein and therein supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the parties hereto solely
with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof; provided, however, nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document shall (or shall be deemed to) (i) have any effect on any agreements any Investor has entered into with the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof with respect to any prior investment made by such Investor in the Company, (ii)
waive, alter, modify or amend in any respect any obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any rights of or benefits
to any Investor or any other Person in any agreement entered into prior to the date hereof between or among the Company and/or
any of its Subsidiaries and any Investor and all such agreements shall continue in full force and effect or (iii) limit any obligations
of the Company under any of the other Transaction Documents.

 

(f)          Subject
to compliance with Section 9 (if applicable), this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the permitted
successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto. This Agreement is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be
enforced by, any Person, other than the parties hereto, their respective permitted successors and assigns and the Persons referred
to in Sections 6 and 7 hereof.

 

    	23

    	 

    

 

(g)          The
headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. Unless
the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular
and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import
shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,”
“hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.

 

(h)          This
Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which 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. In the event that any
signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed
signature page, such signature page 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 signature page were an original thereof.

 

(i)          Each
party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver
all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry
out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(j)          The
language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent and no rules
of strict construction will be applied against any party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10, terms
used in this Agreement but defined in the other Transaction Documents shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms on the Closing
Date in such other Transaction Documents unless otherwise consented to in writing by each Investor.

 

(k)          All
consents and other determinations required to be made by the Investors pursuant to this Agreement shall be made, unless otherwise
specified in this Agreement, by the Required Holders.

 

(l)          The
obligations of each Investor under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations
of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor
under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action
taken by any Investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as, and the Company acknowledges
that the Investors do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or
create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations
or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or any matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Investors are
not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other the Transaction Documents. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently
protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction
Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such
purpose. The use of a single agreement with respect to the obligations of the Company contained herein was solely in the control
of the Company, not the action or decision of any Investor, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and not because
it was required or requested to do so by any Investor. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this
Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and an Investor, solely, and not between the Company and
the Investors collectively and not between and among Investors.

Attention: _____________

 

		Re:	Axion Power International, Inc.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

[We are][I am] counsel
to Axion Power International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and have represented the Company
in connection with that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) entered
into by and among the Company and the buyers named therein (collectively, the “Holders”) pursuant to which the
Company issued to the Holders senior secured convertible notes (the “Notes”) convertible into the Company’s
shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), and warrants exercisable for shares
of Common Stock (the “Warrants”). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered
into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Holders (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which
the Company agreed, among other things, to register the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement),
including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants, under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). In connection with the Company’s obligations under the Registration
Rights Agreement, on ____________ ___, 20__, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form [S-1][S-3] (File No. 333-_____________)
(the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating
to the Registrable Securities which names each of the Holders as a selling stockholder thereunder.

 

In connection with the
foregoing, [we][I] advise you that a member of the SEC’s staff has advised [us][me] by telephone that the SEC has entered
an order declaring the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS]
and [we][I] have no knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC’s staff, that any stop order suspending its
effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Registrable
Securities are available for resale under the 1933 Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

This letter shall serve
as our standing opinion to you that the shares of Common Stock underlying the Notes and Warrants are freely transferable by the
Holders pursuant to the Registration Statement. You need not require further letters from us to effect any future legend-free issuance
or reissuance of such shares of Common Stock to the Holders as contemplated by the Company’s Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions
dated _________ __, 20__.

 

	 	Very truly yours,

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

The shares of common
stock being offered by the selling stockholders are those issuable to the selling stockholders upon conversion of the notes and
exercise of the warrants. For additional information regarding the issuance of the notes and the warrants, see “Private Placement
of Notes and Warrants” above. We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the selling stockholders to
offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of the notes and the warrants issued pursuant to the Securities
Purchase Agreement, the selling stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.

 

The table below lists
the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder) of the shares of common stock held by each of the selling
stockholders. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders, based
on their respective ownership of shares of common stock, notes and warrants, as of ________, 2013, assuming conversion of the notes
and exercise of the warrants held by each such selling stockholder on that date but taking account of any limitations on conversion
and exercise set forth therein.

 

The third column lists
the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders and does not take in account any limitations
on (i) conversion of the notes set forth therein or (ii) exercise of the warrants set forth therein.

 

In accordance with
the terms of a registration rights agreement with the holders of the notes and the warrants, this prospectus generally covers the
resale of the sum of (i) 125% of the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes, (ii) 125%
of the maximum number of other shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the notes and (iii) the maximum number of shares
of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, in each case, determined as if the outstanding notes and warrants were
converted or exercised (as the case may be) in full (without regard to any limitations on conversion or exercise contained therein)
as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC. Because the
conversion price of the notes and the exercise price of the warrants may be adjusted, the number of shares that will actually be
issued may be more or less than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus. The fourth column assumes the sale of all
of the shares offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.

 

Under the terms of
the notes and the warrants, a selling stockholder may not convert the notes or exercise the warrants to the extent (but only to
the extent) such selling stockholder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own a number of shares of our common stock which
would exceed [4.99]% of the outstanding shares of the Company. The number of shares in the second column reflects these limitations.
The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We are registering
the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes and exercise of the warrants to permit the resale of these shares
of common stock by the holders of the notes and warrants from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive
any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of common stock. We will bear all fees and expenses
incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock.

 

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

 

		·	on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed
or quoted at the time of sale;

 

		·	in the over-the-counter market;

 

		·	in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;

 

		·	through the writing or settlement of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange
or otherwise;

 

		·	ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

		·	block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position
and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

		·	purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

		·	an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

		·	privately negotiated transactions;

 

		·	short sales made after the date the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC;

 

		·	broker-dealers may agree with a selling security holder to sell a specified number of such shares
at a stipulated price per share;

 

		·	a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

		·	any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The selling stockholders
may also sell shares of common stock under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if available,
rather than under this prospectus. In addition, the selling stockholders may transfer the shares of common stock by other means
not described in this prospectus. If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or
through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form
of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock
for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular
underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection
with sales of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers,
which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling
stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close
out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling stockholders may also loan or
pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

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

 

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

means, (I) with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, (i) the present fair saleable value of the
Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ assets is less than the amount required to pay the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’
total Indebtedness (as defined below), (ii) the Company and its Subsidiaries are unable to pay their debts and liabilities, subordinated,
contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured or (iii) the Company and its Subsidiaries intend
to incur or believe that they will incur debts that would be beyond their ability to pay as such debts mature; and (II) with respect
to the Company and each Subsidiary, individually, (i) the present fair saleable value of the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s
(as the case may be) assets is less than the amount required to pay its respective total Indebtedness, (ii) the Company or such
Subsidiary (as the case may be) is unable to pay its respective debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as
such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured or (iii) the Company or such Subsidiary (as the case may be) intends to
incur or believes that it will incur debts that would be beyond its respective ability to pay as such debts mature. Neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in any business or in any transaction, and is not about to engage in any business
or in any transaction, for which the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s remaining assets constitute unreasonably small
capital.

 

(j)          No
Undisclosed Events, Liabilities, Developments or Circumstances. No event, liability, development or circumstance has occurred
or exists, or is reasonably expected to exist or occur with respect to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
businesses, properties, liabilities, prospects, operations (including results thereof) or condition (financial or otherwise), that
(i) would be required to be disclosed by the Company under applicable securities laws on a registration statement on Form S-1 filed
with the SEC relating to an issuance and sale by the Company of its Common Stock and which has not been publicly announced, (ii)
could have a material adverse effect on any Buyer’s investment hereunder or (iii) could have a Material Adverse Effect.

(k)          Conduct
of Business; Regulatory Permits. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any term of or in default
under its Certificate of Incorporation, any certificate of designation, preferences or rights of any other outstanding series of
preferred stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Bylaws or their organizational charter, certificate of formation or
certificate of incorporation or bylaws, respectively. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any judgment,
decree or order or any statute, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will conduct its business in violation of any of the foregoing, except in all cases for
possible violations which could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Company is not in violation of any of the rules, regulations or requirements of the Principal Market and
has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances that could reasonably lead to delisting or suspension of the Common Stock by the
Principal Market in the foreseeable future. Since January 1, 2010, (i) the Common Stock has been listed or designated for quotation
on the Principal Market, (ii) trading in the Common Stock has not been suspended by the SEC or the Principal Market and (iii) the
Company has received no communication, written or oral, from the SEC or the Principal Market regarding the suspension or delisting
of the Common Stock from the Principal Market. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations
and permits issued by the appropriate regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses, except where the
failure to possess such certificates, authorizations or permits would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse
Effect, and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification
of any such certificate, authorization or permit.

capacity for any Governmental Entity to any political party or official thereof or to any candidate for political office (individually
and collectively, a “Government Official”) or to any person under circumstances where such Company Affiliate

directly or indirectly, to any Governmental Official, for the purpose of:

 

(1)         (A)

Act. The Company and each Subsidiary is in compliance with all applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and
all applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder.

 

(n)          Transactions
With Affiliates. None of the officers, directors or employees or affiliates of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is presently
a party to any transaction with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than for ordinary course services as employees, officers
or directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing
for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any such officer, director, employee
or affiliate or, to the knowledge of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any corporation, partnership, trust or other Person
in which any such officer, director, employee or affiliate has a substantial interest or is an employee, officer, director, affiliate,
trustee or partner.

 

(o)          Litigation.
There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by the Principal Market, any court, public board, other
Governmental Entity, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Common Stock or any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ officers or directors
which is outside of the ordinary course of business or individually or in the aggregate material to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
No director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries has willfully violated 18 U.S.C. §1519 or engaged
in spoliation in reasonable anticipation of litigation. Without limitation of the foregoing, there has not been, and to the knowledge
of the Company, there is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the SEC involving the Company, any of its Subsidiaries
or any current or former director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The SEC has not issued any stop order or
other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act.

 

(p)          Insurance.
The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and
risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company
and its Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought or
applied for, and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will be unable to renew its existing
insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to
continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

    	10

    	 

    

 

(q)          Employee
Relations. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any collective bargaining agreement or employs any
member of a union. The Company believes that its and its Subsidiaries’ relations with their respective employees are good.
No executive officer (as defined in Rule 501(f) promulgated under the 1933 Act) or other key employee of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries has notified the Company or any such Subsidiary that such officer intends to leave the Company or any such Subsidiary
or otherwise terminate such officer’s employment with the Company or any such Subsidiary. No executive officer or other key
employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment
contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other contract or
agreement or any restrictive covenant, and the continued employment of each such executive officer or other key employee (as the
case may be) does not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters.
The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting labor,
employment and employment practices and benefits, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where failure
to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

 

(r)          Title.
The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property and have good and marketable
title to all personal property owned by them which is material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case,
free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects except such as do not materially affect the value of such property and do
not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries or as listed
on Schedule 3(w) hereto or with respect to the Machinery and Equipment Loan set forth in Schedule 3(r) hereto. Any real property
and facilities held under lease by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable
leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property
and buildings by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

(s)          Intellectual
Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess adequate rights or licenses to use all trademarks, trade names,
service marks, service mark registrations, service names, patents, patent rights, copyrights, original works, inventions, licenses,
approvals, governmental authorizations, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights and all applications and registrations
therefor (“Intellectual Property Rights”) necessary to conduct their respective businesses as now conducted
and as presently proposed to be conducted. None of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ Intellectual Property Rights
have expired, terminated or been abandoned, or are expected to expire, terminate or be abandoned, within three years from the date
of this Agreement, except to the extent of Intellectual Property Rights no longer considered necessary for the operation of this
business. The Company has no knowledge of any infringement by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Intellectual Property Rights
of others. There is no material claim, action or proceeding being made or brought, or to the knowledge of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries, being threatened, against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries regarding their Intellectual Property Rights.
The Company is not aware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing infringements or claims, actions
or proceedings. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality
and value of all of their Intellectual Property Rights.

 

    	11

    	 

    

 

(t)          Environmental
Laws. The Company and its Subsidiaries (i) are in compliance with all Environmental Laws (as defined below), (ii) have received
all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses
and (iii) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval where, in each of the foregoing
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the failure to so comply could be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a
Material Adverse Effect. The term “Environmental Laws” means all federal, state, local or foreign laws relating
to pollution or protection of human health or the environment (including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater,
land surface or subsurface strata), including, without limitation, laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened
releases of chemicals, pollutants, contaminants, or toxic or hazardous substances or wastes (collectively, “Hazardous
Materials”) into the environment, or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment,
storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials, as well as all authorizations, codes, decrees, demands or demand
letters, injunctions, judgments, licenses, notices or notice letters, orders, permits, plans or regulations issued, entered, promulgated
or approved thereunder.

 

(u)          Subsidiary
Rights. The Company or one of its Subsidiaries has the unrestricted right to vote, and (subject to limitations imposed by applicable
law) to receive dividends and distributions on, all capital securities of its Subsidiaries as owned by the Company or such Subsidiary.

 

(v)          Tax
Status. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries (i) has timely made or filed all foreign, federal and state income and all
other tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has timely paid all taxes
and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports
and declarations, except those being contested in good faith and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate
for the payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There
are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the
Company and its Subsidiaries know of no basis for any such claim. The Company is not operated in such a manner as to qualify as
a passive foreign investment company, as defined in Section 1297 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

(w)          Internal
Accounting and Disclosure Controls. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintains internal control over financial reporting
(as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the 1934 Act) that is effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, including that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific
authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset and liability accountability, (iii) access to assets or incurrence of liabilities
is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability
for assets and liabilities is compared with the existing assets and liabilities at reasonable intervals and appropriate action
is taken with respect to any difference. The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule
13a-15(e) under the 1934 Act) that are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports
that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified
in the rules and forms of the SEC, including, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required
to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is accumulated and communicated to the
Company’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and its principal financial officer or officers,
as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received
any notice or correspondence from any accountant or other Person relating to any potential material weakness or significant deficiency
in any part of the internal controls over financial reporting of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

    	12

    	 

    

 

(x)          Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements. There is no transaction, arrangement, or other relationship between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
and an unconsolidated or other off balance sheet entity that is required to be disclosed by the Company in its 1934 Act filings
and is not so disclosed or that otherwise could be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(y)          Investment
Company Status. The Company is not, and upon consummation of the sale of the Securities will not be, an “investment company,”
an affiliate of an “investment company,” a company controlled by an “investment company” or an “affiliated
person” of, or “promoter” or “principal underwriter” for, an “investment company” as
such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

4.           [INTENTIONALLY
OMITTED]

 

5.           REGISTER;
LEGEND.

 

(a)          Register.
The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate
by notice to each holder of Securities), a register for the Notes and the Warrants in which the Company shall record the name and
address of the Person in whose name the Notes and the Warrants have been issued (including the name and address of each
transferee), the principal amount of the Notes held by such Person, the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of
the Notes, the number of Interest Shares issuable with respect to the Notes and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise
of the Warrants held by such Person. The Company shall keep the register open and available at all times during business hours
for inspection of any Buyer or its legal representatives upon reasonable prior notice.

 

(b)          Legends.
Each Buyer understands that the Securities have been issued (or will be issued in the case of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant
Shares) pursuant to an exemption from registration or qualification under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, and
except as set forth below, the Securities shall bear any legend as required by the “blue sky” laws of any state and
a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock
certificates):

 

    	13

    	 

    

 

[NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE
OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE [CONVERTIBLE] [EXERCISABLE]
HAVE BEEN][THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN] REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED,
OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE
OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER (IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY), IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED
UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD OR ELIGIBLE TO BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE
FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED
BY THE SECURITIES.

 

6.           CONDITIONS
TO THE COMPANY’S OBLIGATION TO SELL.

 

(a)          The
obligation of the Company hereunder to issue and sell the Notes and the related Warrants to each Buyer at the Closing is
subject to the satisfaction, at or before the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions, provided that these conditions
are for the Company’s sole benefit and may be waived by the Company at any time in its sole discretion by providing each
Buyer with prior written notice thereof:

 

(i)          Such
Buyer shall have executed each of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and delivered the same to the Company.

 

(ii)         Such
Buyer and each other Buyer shall have delivered to the Purchase Price for the Note and the related Warrants being purchased by
such Buyer at the Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

 

(iii)        The
representations and warranties of such Buyer shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date when made and as
of the Closing Date as though originally made at that time (except for representations and warranties that speak as of a specific
date, which shall be true and correct as of such specific date), and such Buyer shall have performed, satisfied and complied in
all material respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied
with by such Buyer at or prior to the Closing Date.

 

7.           CONDITIONS
TO EACH BUYER’S OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE.

 

(a)          The
obligation of each Buyer hereunder to purchase its Note and its related Warrants at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction,
at or before the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions, provided that these conditions are for each Buyer’s sole
benefit and may be waived by such Buyer at any time in its sole discretion by providing the Company with prior written notice thereof:

 

    	14

    	 

    

 

(i)          The
Company and each Subsidiary (as the case may be) shall have duly executed and delivered to such Buyer each of the Transaction Documents
to which it is a party and the Company shall have duly executed and delivered to such Buyer a Note (in such original principal
amount as is set forth across from such Buyer’s name in column (3) of the Schedule of Buyers) together with the related Warrants
(initially for such aggregate number of shares of Warrant Shares as is set forth across from such Buyer’s name in column
(4) of the Schedule of Buyers, respectively) being purchased by such Buyer at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(ii)         Each
and every representation and warranty of the Company shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date when made
and as of the Closing Date as though originally made at that time (except for representations and warranties that speak as of a
specific date, which shall be true and correct as of such specific date) and the Company shall have performed, satisfied and complied
in all respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions required to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Company
at or prior to the Closing Date.

 

8.           TERMINATION.

 

In the event that the
Closing shall not have occurred with respect to a Buyer within ten (10) days of the date hereof, then such Buyer shall have the
right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement with respect to itself at any time on or after the close of business on
such date without liability of such Buyer to any other party; provided, however, (i) the right to terminate this Agreement under
this Section 8 shall not be available to such Buyer if the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to have
been consummated by such date is the result of such Buyer’s breach of this Agreement and (ii) the abandonment of the sale
and purchase of the Notes and the Warrants shall be applicable only to such Buyer providing such written notice. Nothing contained
in this Section 8 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions
of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any
other party of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

 

9.           MISCELLANEOUS.

 

(a)          Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this
Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without 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. 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, 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. 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 to such party at the address for such 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 manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
or operate to preclude any Buyer from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction
to collect on the Company’s obligations to such Buyer or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of such Buyer.
EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF
ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

    	15

    	 

    

 

(b)          Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which 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. In the event that
any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an
executed signature page, such signature page 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 signature page were an original thereof.

 

(c)          Headings;
Gender. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation
of, this Agreement. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine,
feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include”
and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,”
“hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision
in which they are found.

 

(d)          Severability;
Maximum Payment Amounts. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable
by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed
amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such
provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified
continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited
nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations
or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the
parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s)
with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (and without implication
that the following is required or applicable), it is the intention of the parties that in no event shall amounts and value paid
by the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries (as the case may be), or payable to or received by any of the Buyers, under the Transaction
Documents (including without limitation, any amounts that would be characterized as “interest” under applicable law)
exceed amounts permitted under any applicable law. Accordingly, if any obligation to pay, payment made to any Buyer, or collection
by any Buyer pursuant the Transaction Documents is finally judicially determined to be contrary to any such applicable law, such
obligation to pay, payment or collection shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of such Buyer, the Company and its
Subsidiaries and such amount shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest,
as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by the applicable law. Such adjustment shall be effected, to the extent necessary,
by reducing or refunding, at the option of such Buyer, the amount of interest or any other amounts which would constitute unlawful
amounts required to be paid or actually paid to such Buyer under the Transaction Documents. For greater certainty, to the extent
that any interest, charges, fees, expenses or other amounts required to be paid to or received by such Buyer under any of the Transaction
Documents or related thereto are held to be within the meaning of “interest” or another applicable term to otherwise
be violative of applicable law, such amounts shall be pro-rated over the period of time to which they relate.

(e)          Entire
Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto
and the instruments referenced herein and therein supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Buyers, the
Company, its Subsidiaries, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf solely with respect to the matters contained herein
and therein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the
instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties solely with respect to the matters covered
herein and therein; provided, however, nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall (or shall be
deemed to) (i) have any effect on any agreements any Buyer has entered into with, or any instruments any Buyer has received from,
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof with respect to any prior investment made by such Buyer in the
Company or (ii) waive, alter, modify or amend in any respect any obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any
rights of or benefits to any Buyer or any other Person, in any agreement entered into prior to the date hereof between or among
the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries and any Buyer, or any instruments any Buyer received from the Company and/or any of
its Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof, and all such agreements and instruments shall continue in full force and effect. Except
as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor any Buyer makes any representation, warranty, covenant or
undertaking with respect to such matters. For clarification purposes, the Recitals are part of this Agreement. No provision of
this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Required Holders (as defined
below), and any amendment to any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 9(e) 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 shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party, provided
that the Required Holders 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 9(e) 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). 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, any Subsidiary or otherwise. As a material inducement for each Buyer to enter into this Agreement,
the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no due diligence or other investigation or inquiry conducted by a Buyer,
any of its advisors or any of its representatives shall affect such Buyer’s right to rely on, or shall modify or qualify
in any manner or be an exception to any of, the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any
other Transaction Document and (ii) unless a provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document is expressly preceded
by the phrase “except as disclosed in the SEC Documents,” nothing contained in any of the SEC Documents shall affect
such Buyer’s right to rely on, or shall modify or qualify in any manner or be an exception to any of, the Company’s
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. “Required Holders”
means (i) prior to the Closing Date, each Buyer entitled to purchase Notes at the Closing and (ii) on or after the Closing Date,
holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities as of such time (excluding any Registrable Securities held by the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries as of such time) issued or issuable hereunder or pursuant to the Notes and/or the Warrants.

Transactions set forth in the Warrants) or a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Notes) (unless the Company is in compliance
with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Transactions set forth in the Notes). A Buyer may assign some or all of its

The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and
no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. No specific representation or warranty shall limit the generality
or applicability of a more general representation or warranty. Each and every reference to share prices, shares of Common Stock
and any other numbers in this Agreement that relate to the Common Stock shall be automatically adjusted for any stock splits, stock
dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions that occur with respect to the Common Stock after
the date of this Agreement

(l)          Remedies.
Each Buyer and in the event of assignment by Buyer of its rights and obligations hereunder, each holder of Securities, shall have
all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted
at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person having
any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond
or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights
granted by law. Furthermore, the Company recognizes that in the event that it or any Subsidiary fails to perform, observe, or discharge
any or all of its or such Subsidiary’s (as the case may be) obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law
may prove to be inadequate relief to the Buyers. The Company therefore agrees that the Buyers shall be entitled to seek specific
performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction
in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security.

 

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

 

(n)          Payment
Set Aside; Currency. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Buyer hereunder or pursuant to any of
the other Transaction Documents or any of the Buyers enforce or exercise their rights hereunder or 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, foreign, 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.

(o)          Independent
Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Buyer under 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 Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action
taken by any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Buyers as, and the Company acknowledges that the
Buyers do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption
that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents or any matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Buyers are not acting in concert or as a group,
and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents. The decision of each Buyer to purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Buyer
independently of any other Buyer. Each Buyer acknowledges that no other Buyer has acted as agent for such Buyer in connection with
such Buyer making its investment hereunder and that no other Buyer will be acting as agent of such Buyer in connection with monitoring
such Buyer’s investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. The Company and each Buyer
confirms that each Buyer has independently participated with the Company and its Subsidiaries in the negotiation of the transaction
contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. 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 any 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 use
of a single agreement to effectuate the purchase and sale of the Securities contemplated hereby was solely in the control of the
Company, not the action or decision of any Buyer, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and its Subsidiaries and
not because it was required or requested to do so by any Buyer. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained
in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company, each Subsidiary and a Buyer, solely, and not between
the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Buyers collectively and not between and among the Buyers.
