2.           BUYER’S
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Each Buyer, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants with respect to only itself
that:

 

(a)           No
Public Sale or Distribution. Such Buyer is acquiring the Shares for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale
in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the 1933 Act;
provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Buyer does not agree to hold any of the Shares
for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant
to a registration statement or an exemption under the 1933 Act. Such Buyer is acquiring the Shares hereunder in the ordinary course
of its business. Such Buyer does not presently have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person (as
defined below) to distribute any of the Shares. For purposes of this Agreement, “Person” means an individual,
a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization and a government
or any department or agency thereof.

 

(b)           Accredited
Investor Status. Such Buyer is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.
Such Buyer has executed and delivered to the Company a questionnaire (the “Investor Questionnaire”), substantially
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, which such Buyer represents and warrants is true, correct and complete.

 

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

 

(d)           Information.
Such Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations
of the Company, including but not limited to the Company’s filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “1934 Act”), and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Shares that have been requested by such
Buyer. Such Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. Neither such inquiries
nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Buyer or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify,
amend or affect such Buyer’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained herein. Such
Buyer understands that its investment in the Shares involves a high degree of risk and is able to afford a complete loss of such
investment. Such Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment
decision with respect to its acquisition of the Shares. Such Buyer confirms and agrees that (i) it has independently evaluated
the merits of its decision to purchase the Shares, (ii) it has not relied on the advice of, or any representations by, any other
Person, other than the Company and its officers and directors, in making such decision, and (iii) no Person, other than the
Company and its officers and directors, has any responsibility with respect to the completeness or accuracy of any information
or materials furnished to such Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

    	 	- 2 -	 

     

    

 

(e)           No
Governmental Review. Such Buyer understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental
agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares or the fairness or suitability of the investment
in the Shares nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Shares.

 

(f)           Transfer
or Resale. Such Buyer understands that: (i) the Shares have not been and are not being registered under the 1933 Act or any
state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder,
(B) such Buyer shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company,
to the effect that such Shares to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption
from such registration, or (C) such Buyer provides the Company with reasonable assurance that such Shares can be sold, assigned
or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act (“Rule 144”) or Rule 144A promulgated under
the 1933 Act (“Rule 144A”) (or successor rules thereto) (collectively, “Resale Exemptions”);
(ii) any sale of the Shares made in reliance on the Resale Exemptions may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144
or Rule 144A, as applicable, and further, if a Resale Exemption is not applicable, any resale of the Shares under circumstances
in which the seller (or the Person) through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined
in the 1933 Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder;
and (iii) neither the Company nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the Shares under the 1933 Act or any state
securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Shares
may be pledged in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan or financing arrangement secured by the Shares and
such pledge of Shares shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Shares hereunder, and no Buyer effecting
a pledge of Shares shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company
pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (as defined in Section 3(b)), including, without limitation,
this Section 2(f).

 

(g)           Legends.
Such Buyer understands that the certificates or other instruments representing the Shares 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 or other instruments):

 

NEITHER
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT NOR THE SECURITIES FOR WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE HAVE 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, IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION
IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS 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.

 

    	 	- 3 -	 

     

    

 

The
legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate or other instrument without such legend to the
holder of the Shares upon which it is stamped or issue to such holder by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account
at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), if, unless otherwise required by state securities laws, (i) such Shares
are registered for resale under the 1933 Act (in which case an alternate prospectus delivery legend may apply), (ii) in connection
with a sale, assignment or other transfer, such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Shares may be made without registration
under the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act, or (iii) the Shares can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144
or Rule 144A. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent and all DTC fees associated with such issuance.
If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason (other than failure of a Buyer to comply with Section 2(g)) to
issue to the holder of the Shares within three (3) Trading Days after the occurrence of any of (i) through (iii) above, a certificate
without such legend to the holder or to issue such Shares to such holder by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account
at DTC, and if on or after such Trading Day the holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common
Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the holder of such Shares that the holder anticipated receiving without legend from
the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the holder’s request
and in the holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the holder in an amount equal to the holder’s total purchase
price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”),
at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such unlegended Shares shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation
to deliver to the holder such unlegended Shares as provided above and pay cash to the holder in an amount equal to the excess
(if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Bid Price on
the date of the occurrence of any of clauses (i) through (iii), as applicable. As used herein, (i) “Trading Day”
means any day on which the Common Stock is traded on the Principal Market (as defined in Section 3(d)), or, if the Principal
Market is not the principal trading market for the Common Stock, then on the principal securities exchange or securities market
on which the Common Stock is then traded; provided that “Trading Day” shall not include any day on which the
Common Stock is scheduled to trade on such exchange or market for less than 4.5 hours or any day that the Common Stock is suspended
from trading during the final hour of trading on such exchange or market (or if such exchange or market does not designate in
advance the closing time of trading on such exchange or market, then during the hour ending at 4:00 p.m., New York time); (ii)
“Closing Bid Price” means, for any security as of any date, the last closing bid price for such security on
the Principal Market, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if the Principal Market begins to operate on an extended hours basis and does
not designate the closing bid price, then the last bid price of such security prior to 4:00 p.m., New York time, as reported by
Bloomberg, or, if the Principal Market is not the principal securities exchange or trading market for such security, the last
closing bid price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded
as reported by Bloomberg, or if the foregoing do not apply, the last closing bid price of such security in the over-the-counter
market on the electronic bulletin board for such security as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no closing bid price is reported for
such security by Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices of any market makers for such security as reported in the OTC Link or
“pink sheets” by OTC Markets Group Inc. (formerly Pink OTC Markets Inc.). If the Closing Bid Price cannot be calculated
for a security on a particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Bid Price of such security on such date shall be
the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and such holder of Shares. All such determinations to be appropriately
adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction during the applicable calculation
period; and (iii) “Bloomberg” means Bloomberg Financial Markets.

(h)          Validity;
Enforcement. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of such Buyer and shall
constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Buyer enforceable against such Buyer in accordance with their respective
terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’
rights and remedies.

 

(i)            No
Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by such Buyer of this Agreement and the consummation by such Buyer of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of such Buyer
or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default)
under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument
to which such Buyer is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including
federal and state securities laws) applicable to such Buyer, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts,
defaults, rights or violations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on the ability of such Buyer to perform its obligations hereunder.

 

(j)            Short
Sales. Between the time such Buyer learned about the offering contemplated by this Agreement and the public announcement of
the offering, such Buyer has not engaged in any short sales or similar transactions with respect to the Common Stock, nor has
such Buyer, directly or indirectly, caused any Person to engage in any short sales or similar transactions with respect to the
Common Stock. Such Buyer shall not engage in any short sales involving the Shares in violation of the 1933 Act. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the case of a Buyer that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate
portions of such Buyer’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by
the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Buyer’s assets, the representation set forth above shall apply only
with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio managers that have knowledge about the financing transaction contemplated
by this Agreement.

pre-existing relationship with the Company.

 

(l)            Rule
506(d) Representation. Such Buyer represents that it is not a person of the type described in Section 506(d) of Regulation

(m)          Residency. Such Buyer is a resident of that jurisdiction specified below its address on the Schedule of Buyers.

 

3.            REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.

 

The
Company represents and warrants to each of the Buyers that:

 

(a)           Organization
and Qualification. Each of the Company and its “Subsidiaries” (which for purposes of this Agreement means
any entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, owns any of the capital stock or holds an equity or similar interest)
are entities duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which they are formed,
and have the requisite power and authorization to own their properties and to carry on their business as now being conducted.
Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign entity to do business and is in good standing in every
jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary,
except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. As used in this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means any material adverse effect on the
business, properties, assets, operations, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company
and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or on the transactions contemplated hereby or on the other Transaction Documents or by
the agreements and instruments to be entered into in connection herewith or therewith, or on the authority or ability of the Company
to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents. The Company has no Subsidiaries except as set forth on Schedule
3(a).

 

(b)           Authorization;
Enforcement; Validity. The Company has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this
Agreement, the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions (as defined in Section 5) and each of the other agreements entered
into by the parties hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction
Documents”) and to issue the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof. The execution and delivery of the
Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby,
including, without limitation, the issuance of the Shares, have been duly authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors
and (other than filings as may be required by state securities agencies) no further filing, consent, or authorization is required
by the Company, its Board of Directors or its stockholders. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents have been duly
executed and delivered by the Company, and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against
the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity
or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally,
the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.

 

    	 	- 6 -	 

     

    

 

(c)           Issuance
of Shares. The Shares are duly authorized and, upon issuance, shall be validly issued and free from all from all preemptive
or similar rights, taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof, with the holders being entitled to all rights accorded
to a holder of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, there are 196,910,840 shares of Common Stock authorized and unissued. Assuming
the accuracy of each of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement, the offer and issuance
by the Company of the Shares is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act.

 

(d)           No
Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the
Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Shares) will not
(i) result in a violation of the Certificate of Incorporation (as defined in Section 3(p)) or Bylaws (as defined in Section
3(p)), any memorandum of association, certificate of incorporation, certificate of formation, bylaws, any certificate of designations
or other constituent documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
or the articles of association or bylaws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default
(or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) in any respect under, or give to others any rights
of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any material agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree
(including other foreign, federal and state securities laws and regulations and the rules and regulations of the OTCQB (the “Principal
Market”) and including all applicable laws of the State of Delaware and any foreign, federal and state laws, rules and
regulations) applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries is bound or affected.

 

(e)           Consents.
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing
or registration with, any court, governmental agency or any regulatory or self-regulatory agency or any other Person in order
for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under or contemplated by the Transaction Documents, in each case
in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof, other than the filings or registration required by Sections 4(b) and 4(h)
of this Agreement and as may be required under the rules and regulations of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
The Company is not in violation of the requirements of the Principal Market and has no knowledge of any facts that would reasonably
lead to delisting or suspension of the Common Stock in the foreseeable future. The issuance by the Company of the Shares shall
not have the effect of delisting or suspending the Common Stock from the Principal Market.

(f)           Acknowledgment
Regarding Buyer’s Purchase of Shares. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each Buyer is acting solely in the capacity
of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
The Company further acknowledges that no Buyer is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
(or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and
any advice given by a Buyer or any of its representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to such Buyer’s purchase of the Shares. The Company further represents
to each Buyer that the Company’s decision to enter into the Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent
evaluation by the Company and its representatives.

 

(g)           No
General Solicitation; Fees and Commissions. Neither the Company, nor any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates, nor any Person
acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation
D) in connection with the offer or sale of the Shares. The Company shall be responsible for the payment of any placement agent’s
fees, financial advisory fees, or broker’s commissions (other than for persons engaged by any Buyer or its investment advisor)
relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall pay, and hold each Buyer harmless against,
any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection
with any such claim.

 

(h)           No
Integrated Offering. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, any of their affiliates, and any Person acting on their behalf
has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances
that would require registration of any of the Shares under the 1933 Act, whether through integration with prior offerings or otherwise.
None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, their affiliates and any Person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps referred
to in the preceding sentence that would require registration of any of the Shares under the 1933 Act.

 

(i)            Application
of Takeover Protections; Rights Agreement. The Company and its board of directors have taken all necessary action, if any,
in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under
a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Certificate of Incorporation or the laws of the jurisdiction
of its formation which is or could become applicable to any Buyer as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
including, without limitation, the Company’s issuance of the Shares and any Buyer’s ownership of the Shares. The Company
has not adopted a stockholder rights plan or similar arrangement relating to accumulations of beneficial ownership of Common Stock
or a change in control of the Company.

 

    	 	- 8 -	 

     

    

 

(j)            SEC
Documents; Financial Statements. During the one (1) year prior to the date hereof, the Company has timely filed all reports,
schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements
of the 1934 Act (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof, and all exhibits included therein and financial statements,
notes and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein being hereinafter referred to as the “SEC
Documents”). The Company has delivered to the Buyers or their respective representatives true, correct and complete
copies of the SEC Documents not available on the EDGAR system. As of their respective filing dates, the SEC Documents complied
in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder
applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of their respective filing
dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects with
applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto. Such financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, during the periods involved
(“GAAP”) (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii)
in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements)
and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof and the results of its
operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments).

 

(k)           Absence
of Certain Changes. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3(k) or as set forth in the SEC Documents, since September 30,
2015, there has been no event that would, to the Company’s knowledge, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3(k), since September 30, 2015, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries
has (i) declared or paid any dividends, (ii) sold any assets, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $100,000 outside
of the ordinary course of business or (iii) had capital expenditures, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $100,000.

 

(l)           Conduct
of Business; Regulatory Permits. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any term of or in default
under any certificate of designations of any outstanding series of preferred stock of the Company (if any), its Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws or their organizational charter or memorandum of association or certificate of incorporation or articles
of association 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 for possible violations which
could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to 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 would reasonably lead to delisting or suspension of the Common Stock by the
Principal Market in the foreseeable future. Except as set forth in Schedule 3(l), during the one (1) year prior to the
date hereof, the Common Stock has been designated for quotation on the Principal Market. Except as set forth in Schedule 3(l),
during the one (1) year prior to the date hereof, (i) trading in the Common Stock has not been suspended by the SEC or the Principal
Market and (ii) 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 its Subsidiaries possess all certificates,
authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal, state or foreign 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.

and Other Contracts. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) has any
outstanding Indebtedness, (ii) is a party to any contract, agreement or instrument, the violation of which, or default under which,
by the other party(ies) to such contract, agreement or instrument could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect, (iii) is in violation of any term of or in default under any contract, agreement or instrument relating to any Indebtedness,
except where such violations and defaults would not result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect, or
(iv) is a party to any contract, agreement or instrument relating to any Indebtedness, the performance of which, in the judgment
of the Company’s officers, has or is expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Schedule 3(q) provides a detailed
description of the material terms of any such outstanding Indebtedness. For purposes of this Agreement: (x) “Indebtedness”
of any Person means, without duplication (A) all indebtedness for borrowed money, (B) all obligations issued, undertaken
or assumed as the deferred purchase price of property or services, including, without limitation, “capital leases”
in accordance with GAAP (other than trade payables entered into in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice),
(C) all reimbursement or payment obligations with respect to letters of credit, surety bonds and other similar instruments, (D)
all obligations evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or similar instruments, including obligations so evidenced incurred in connection
with the acquisition of property, assets or businesses, (E) all indebtedness created or arising under any conditional sale or
other title retention agreement, or incurred as financing, in either case with respect to any property or assets acquired with
the proceeds of such indebtedness (even though the rights and remedies of the seller or bank under such agreement in the event
of default are limited to repossession or sale of such property), (F) all monetary obligations under any leasing or similar
arrangement which, in connection with GAAP, consistently applied for the periods covered thereby, is classified as a capital lease,
(G) all indebtedness referred to in clauses (A) through (F) above secured by (or for which the holder of such Indebtedness
has an existing right, contingent or otherwise, to be secured by) any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or other
encumbrance upon or in any property or assets (including accounts and contract rights) owned by any Person, even though the Person
which owns such assets or property has not assumed or become liable for the payment of such indebtedness, and (H) all Contingent
Obligations in respect of indebtedness or obligations of others of the kinds referred to in clauses (A) through (G) above; and
(y) “Contingent Obligation” means, as to any Person, any direct or indirect liability, contingent or otherwise,
of that Person with respect to any Indebtedness, lease, dividend or other obligation of another Person if the primary purpose
or intent of the Person incurring such liability, or the primary effect thereof, is to provide assurance to the obligee of such
liability that such liability will be paid or discharged, or that any agreements relating thereto will be complied with, or that
the holders of such liability will be protected (in whole or in part) against loss with respect thereto.

 

(r)           Absence
of Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by the Principal Market, any court,
public board, government agency, 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 Subsidiaries or any
of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ officers or directors, whether of a civil or criminal nature or otherwise, in
their capacities as such, except as set forth in Schedule 3(r). The matters set forth in Schedule 3(r) would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(s)           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 not be able to renew its existing
insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to
continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(t)           Employee
Relations.

 

(i)          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 and its Subsidiaries believe that their relations with their employees are good. No executive officer (as defined in Rule
501(f) under the 1933 Act) 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 of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, to the knowledge 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 does not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters.

 

(ii)         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.

 

(u)          Title.
The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property and good and marketable title
to all personal property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case free
and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects except for Permitted Liens that 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. Any
real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting
and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed
to be made of such property and buildings by the Company and its Subsidiaries.

 

(v)           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, original works of authorship, patents, patent rights, copyrights,
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. None of the Company’s Intellectual Property Rights have expired or terminated or have been abandoned or
are expected to expire or terminate or are expected to be abandoned, within three years from the date of this Agreement. The Company
does not have any knowledge of any infringement by the Company or its Subsidiaries of Intellectual Property Rights of others.
There is no 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 its Intellectual Property Rights. Neither the Company
nor any of its Subsidiaries is aware of any facts or circumstances that might give rise to any of the foregoing infringements
or claims, actions or proceedings. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy,
confidentiality and value of all of their Intellectual Property Rights.

and its Subsidiaries have received all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws
to conduct their respective businesses and (iii) the Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all terms and conditions
of any such permit, license or approval. 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,

Rights. The Company or one of its Subsidiaries has the unrestricted right to vote, and (subject to limitations imposed by

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.

 

(z)           Tax

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 know of
no basis for any such claim.

 

(aa)         Internal
Accounting and Disclosure Controls. Except as set forth in Schedule 3(aa) or as set forth in the SEC Documents, the
Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance
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

Except as set forth in Schedule 3(aa) or as set forth in the SEC Documents, the Company maintains disclosure controls and
procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15 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.

(bb)         Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements. There is no transaction, arrangement, or other relationship between the Company 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 would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(cc)         Transfer
Taxes. On the Closing Date, all stock transfer or other taxes (other than income or similar taxes) that are required to be
paid in connection with the sale and transfer of the Shares to be sold to each Buyer hereunder will be, or will have been, fully
paid or provided for by the Company, and all laws imposing such taxes will be or will have been complied with.

length counter-party in any “derivative” transaction. The Company further understands and acknowledges that one or
more Buyers may engage in hedging and/or trading activities at various times during the period that the Shares are outstanding,
and (b) such hedging and/or trading activities, if any, can reduce the value of the existing stockholders’ equity interest
in the Company both at and after the time the hedging and/or trading activities are being conducted. Subject to the provisions
of Section 2(j), the Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging and/or trading activities do not constitute
a breach of this Agreement or any of the documents executed in connection herewith.

(ff)          U.S.

so publicly announced or disclosed. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Buyer makes or has made any representations or
warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 2.

employees and agents, not to, provide any Buyer with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
from and after the date hereof with the SEC without the express prior written consent of such Buyer. If a Buyer has, or believes
it has, received any such material, nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from the Company, any

with written notice thereof. The Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days of receipt of such notice, make public disclosure
of such material, nonpublic information. No Buyer shall have any liability to the Company, its Subsidiaries, or any of its or

press releases or any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however,
that the Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of any Buyer, to make any press release or other public disclosure
with respect to such transactions (i) in substantial conformity with the Press Release and contemporaneously therewith and (ii)
as is required by applicable law and regulations (provided that in the case of clause (i) each Buyer shall be consulted by the
Company in connection with any such press release or other public disclosure prior to its release). Except as required by applicable
law, without the prior written consent of any applicable Buyer, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates
shall disclose the name of such Buyer in any filing, announcement, release or otherwise.

(i)          Corporate
Existence. So long as any Buyer beneficially owns any Shares, the Company shall maintain its corporate existence.

 

(j)          Conduct
of Business. The business of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or
regulation of any governmental entity, except where such violations would not result, either individually or in the aggregate,
in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(k)          Public
Information. At any time during the period commencing from the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date and ending at
such time that all of the Shares, if a registration statement is not available for the resale of all of the Shares, may be sold
without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1), if
the Company shall (i) fail for any reason to satisfy the requirements of Rule 144(c)(1), including, without limitation, the failure
to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) or (ii) if the Company has ever been an issuer described
in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) or becomes such an issuer in the future, and the Company shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth in
Rule 144(i)(2) (a “Public Information Failure”) then, as partial relief for the damages to any holder of Shares
by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Shares (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other
remedies available at law or in equity), the Company shall pay to each such holder an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%)
of the Purchase Price of such holder’s Shares on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth day (pro
rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the earlier of (i) the date such Public Information Failure
is cured and (ii) such time that such public information is no longer required pursuant to Rule 144. The payments to which a holder
shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4(k) are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure Payments.”
Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which
such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred and (ii) the third Business Day after the event or failure giving
rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured. In the event the Company fails to make Public Information Failure
Payments in a timely manner, such Public Information Failure Payments shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month
(prorated for partial months) until paid in full.

(l)           Short
Sales. Starting on the date hereof and ending on the 45th day following the Closing Date, no Buyer shall engage in any short
sales or similar transactions with respect to the Common Stock, nor cause any Person to engage in any short sales or similar transactions
with respect to the Common Stock.

 

(m)          Notice
of Disqualification Events. The Company will notify the Buyers in writing, prior to the Closing Date of (i) any Disqualification
Event relating to any Company Covered Person and (ii) any event that would, with the passage of time, become a Disqualification
Event relating to any Company Covered Person.

 

(n)          Closing
Documents. On or prior to fourteen (14) calendar days after the Closing Date, the Company agrees to deliver, or cause to be
delivered, to each Buyer a complete closing set of the executed Transaction Documents, Shares and any other documents required
to be delivered to any party pursuant to Section 7 hereof or otherwise.           

 

5.           TRANSFER
AGENT INSTRUCTIONS. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent, and any subsequent transfer agent,
in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”) to issue certificates
or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC, registered in the name of each Buyer or its respective nominee(s),
for the Shares issued at the Closing. The Company warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions
referred to in this Section 5, and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2(f) hereof, will be given
by the Company to its transfer agent with respect to the Shares, and that the Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on
the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. If a
Buyer effects a sale, assignment or transfer of the Shares in accordance with Section 2(f), the Company shall permit the
transfer and shall promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance
accounts at DTC in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Buyer to effect such sale, transfer or assignment.
In the event that such sale, assignment or transfer involves the Shares sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an effective
registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144, the transfer agent shall issue such Shares to the Buyer, assignee or transferee,
as the case may be, without any restrictive legend. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder
will cause irreparable harm to a Buyer. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations
under this Section 5 will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the
provisions of this Section 5, that a Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to seek an order
and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic
loss and without any bond or other security being required.

hereof due to the Company’s or such Buyer’s failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Sections 6 and 7

the option to terminate this Agreement with respect to such breaching party at the close of business on such date by delivering
a written notice to that effect to each other party to this Agreement and without liability of any party to any other party.

 

    	 	- 22 -	 

     

    

 

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. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, 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.

 

(b)          Counterparts.
This Agreement and any amendments hereto may be executed and delivered in two or more counterparts, and by the different parties
hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together
shall constitute one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party hereto
and delivered to the other parties hereto, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event
that any signature to this Agreement or any amendment hereto is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a
“.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on
whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page
were an original thereof. No party hereto shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf”
format data file to deliver a signature to this Agreement or any amendment hereto or the fact that such signature was transmitted
or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file as a defense
to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each party hereto forever waives any such defense.

 

(c)          Headings.
The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this
Agreement.

 

    	 	- 23 -	 

     

    

 

(d)          Severability.
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).

 

(e)          Entire
Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents supersede all other prior oral or written agreements
between the Buyers, the Company, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein,
and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding
of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, 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. Provisions
of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either
retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the holders of at least a majority of the amount
of Shares issued hereunder (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction
occurring after the date thereof) (the “Required Holders”); provided that any such amendment or waiver that
complies with the foregoing but that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the rights and obligations of any Buyer
relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Buyers shall require the prior written consent of such adversely
affected Buyer. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 9(e) shall be binding upon each Buyer
and holder of Shares and the Company. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the
Buyers or holders of Shares. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification
of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration (other than the reimbursement of legal fees)
also is offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents, holders of Shares. The Company has not, directly or indirectly,
made any agreements with any Buyers relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents
except as set forth in the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company confirms that, except as set forth
in this Agreement, no Buyer has made any commitment or promise or has any other obligation to provide any financing to the Company
or otherwise.

 

(f)          Notices.
Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must
be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when
sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending
party), (iii) when sent, if sent by electronic mail; or (iv) one Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier service,
in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same. The addresses, facsimile numbers and e-mail addresses for such

(g)          Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors
and assigns, including any purchasers of the Shares. The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Required Holders. A Buyer may assign some or all of its rights hereunder without
the consent of the Company, in which event such assignee shall be deemed to be a Buyer hereunder with respect to such assigned
rights.

 

(h)          No
Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted
successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except that
each Indemnitee shall have the right to enforce the obligations of the Company with respect to Section 9(o).

 

(i)          [Intentionally
omitted]

 

(j)          [Intentionally

(k)          Survival.
Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 8, the representations and warranties of the Company and the Buyers contained
in Sections 2 and 3, and the agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 4, 5 and 9 shall
survive the Closing. Each Buyer shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.

 

(l)           Further
Assurances. 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.

 

    	 	- 26 -	 

     

    

 

(m)          Indemnification.          

 

(i)          In
consideration of each Buyer’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Shares thereunder and
in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect,
indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer and each other holder of the Shares and all of their stockholders, partners, members, officers,
directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives
(including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively,
the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties,
fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to
the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (collectively,
“Claims”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation
or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument
or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in
the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby or (c) any cause of
action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action
brought on behalf of the Company) and arising out of or resulting from (i) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement
of the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any transaction
financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Shares, or (iii)
the status of such Buyer or holder of the Shares as an investor in the Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents, except, in each case, with respect to any Claims that resulted from any Indemnitee’s gross negligence,
willful misconduct or fraud. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason,
the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Claims that is permissible under
applicable law. Subject to Section 9(m)(ii) and Section 9(m)(iii), the Company shall reimburse the Indemnitees promptly
as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable 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 contained in this Section 9(m)(i) 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.

 

(ii)         Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnitee under this Section 9(m) of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including
any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnitee shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against
the Company under this Section 9(m), deliver to the Company a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the Company
shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent it so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly
noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the Company and the Indemnitee; provided,
however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than
one counsel for all such Indemnitees to be paid by the Company, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the Indemnitee,
the representation by such counsel of the Indemnitee and the Company would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between such Indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. In the case of an Indemnitee,
legal counsel referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be selected by the Investors holding at least a majority
in interest of the Shares purchased hereunder. The Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in connection with any
negotiation or defense of any such action or proceeding or Claim by the Company and shall furnish to the Company all information
reasonably available to the Indemnitee that relates to such action or proceeding or Claim. The Company shall keep the Indemnitee
reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. The Company
shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent; provided,
however, that the Company shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. The Company shall not, without
the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise
that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee 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 Indemnitee. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the Company shall be subrogated to all rights of
the Indemnitee 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 Company within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action or
proceeding shall not relieve the Company of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Section 9(m), except to the extent
that the Company is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action or proceeding as a result of such failure.

 

    	 	- 27 -	 

     

    

 

(iii)        The
indemnification required by this Section 9(m) shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course
of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received.

 

(n)          No
Strict Construction. 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.

 

(o)          Remedies.
Each Buyer and each holder of the Shares 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 fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its 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 temporary
and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or
other security.

 

(p)          Rescission
and 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 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, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole
or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

 

(q)          Payment
Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Buyers hereunder or pursuant to any of the other
Transaction Documents or 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
