Section 2.
Exercise.

 

a) Exercise
of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or
times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly
executed facsimile copy or PDF copy submitted by e-mail of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the
“Notice of Exercise”). Within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days
comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined in Section 2(d)(i) herein) following the date of exercise as aforesaid,
the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire
transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section
2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall
any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until
the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which
case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on
which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a
portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of
Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and
the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company
shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder
and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this
paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for
purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

b) Exercise
Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.95, subject to adjustment
hereunder (the “Exercise Price”). The aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant equals $___.

 

c) Cashless
Exercise. If at any time after the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date, there is no effective registration
statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this
Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the
Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A),
where:

 

(A) = as applicable:
(i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise
is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and
delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined
in Rule 600(b)(64) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of
the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (z) the
Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. as of the time of the Holder’s
execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours”
on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular
trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of
Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant
to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;

 

    	 	2	 

     

    

 

(B) =   the
Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

 

(X) =
 the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant
if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

 

If
Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9)
of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the holding period
of the Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant.  The Company agrees not to
take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).

 

“Bid
Price” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common
Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the bid price of the Common Stock for the time in question (or the nearest
preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on
a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b)  if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading
Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as
applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock
are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding
to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all
other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith
by the Purchasers of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees
and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

 

    	 	3	 

     

    

 

“VWAP”
means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed
or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding
date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading
Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b)  if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market,
the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable,
(c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then
reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding
to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all
other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith
by the Purchasers of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees
and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

 

Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant
to this Section 2(c).

 

 d) Mechanics of Exercise.

 

i. Delivery
of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the
Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The
Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is
then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the
Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the
Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), and
otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder
or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address
specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earliest of (i) two (2) Trading Days after the
delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (ii) one (1) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to
the Company and (iii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company
of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of
Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares
with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided
that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received within the earlier
of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery
of the Notice of Exercise. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a
Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages
and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on
the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading
Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such
Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise (such payment, the “Liquidated Damages
Payment”). The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as
this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the
standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect
to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.

 

    	 	4	 

     

    

 

ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at
the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver
to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant,
which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

 

iii. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares
pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

 

iv. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights
available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance
with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after
such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage
firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which
the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to
the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for
the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the
Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order
giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (such payment, a “Buy-in Payment”), and (B) at the option
of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was
not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock
that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example,
if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise
of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of
the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company
written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence
of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder,
at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the
Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms
hereof.

 

    	 	5	 

     

    

 

v. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon
the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such
exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal
to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

vi. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue
or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses
shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may
be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other
than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto
duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it
for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any
Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar
functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

 

vii. Closing
of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of
this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

    	 	6	 

     

    

 

e) Holder’s
Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to
exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such
issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s
Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such
Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
(as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by
the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of
Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially
owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or
nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock
Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially
owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for
purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not
representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is
solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation
contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other
securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is
exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be
the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder
together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case
subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of
such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this
Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the
Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by
the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or
oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of
shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall
be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the
Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be [9.99/4.99% of the number of shares of the
Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions
of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of
the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this
Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The
provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the
terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the
intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to
properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of
this Warrant.

 

    	 	7	 

     

    

 

Section 3. Certain
Adjustments.

 

a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend
or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities
(including, but not limited to, any stock dividend on preferred stock, including the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock) payable
in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon
exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including
by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification
of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied
by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding
immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the
aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become
effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution
and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company should effectuate a reverse stock split, and if, the arithmetic average of the VWAPs
during the ten (10) Trading Days preceding the effective date of the reverse split is less than Exercise Price then in effect,
then the Exercise Price will be adjusted to the arithmetic average of the VWAPs of the Common Stock during such ten (10) Trading
Day period, on an adjusted basis following the reverse split.

 

    	 	8	 

     

    

 

b) Adjustment Upon Issuance of Shares of Common Stock.  If and whenever on or after the date Shareholder Approval
is obtained and deemed effective, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 3(b) is deemed to have issued
or sold, any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned
or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding any Exempt Issuances issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or
sold) for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price equal to the Exercise Price
in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale (such Exercise Price then in effect is referred
to herein as the “Applicable Price”) (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately
after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price and
the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after
taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be unchanged.  In the event a Dilutive Issuance occurs prior
to the date Shareholder Approval is obtained and deemed effective, upon Shareholder Approval, (i) the Applicable Price shall be
reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price based on such Dilutive Issuance that occurs prior to Shareholder Approval
and (ii) within 3 Trading Days immediately following Shareholder Approval the Company shall issue to the Holder such number of
Warrant Shares that would have been issued based on the New Issuance Price for any exercises of this Warrant that occur after such
Dilutive Issuance and prior to Shareholder Approval. For all purposes of the foregoing (including, without limitation, determining
the adjusted Exercise Price and the New Issuance Price under this Section 3(b)), the following shall be applicable:

 

i. Issuance of Options.  If the Company in any manner grants or sells any rights, warrants or options to subscribe
for or purchase shares of Common Stock (“Options”) or any stock or other security that is at any time and under
any circumstances, directly or indirectly, convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, or which otherwise entitles the holder
thereof to acquire, any shares of Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) and the lowest price per share for
which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange
of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof is less than
the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the
Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share.  For purposes of this Section 3(b)(i),
the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the exercise of any such Options
or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option or otherwise pursuant
to the terms thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received
or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise
of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option or otherwise
pursuant to the terms thereof and (y) the lowest exercise price set forth in such Option for which one share of Common Stock is
issuable (or may become issuable assuming all possible market conditions) upon the exercise of any such Options or upon conversion,
exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms
thereof minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Option (or any other Person) upon the granting or
sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable
upon exercise of such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable
by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Option (or any other Person).  Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment
of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon
the exercise of such Options or otherwise pursuant to the terms of or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon
conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

    	 	9	 

     

    

 

ii. Issuance of Convertible Securities.  If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities
and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange
thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be
deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible
Securities for such price per share.  For the purposes of this Section 3(b)(ii), the “lowest price per share for
which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant
to the terms thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received
or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and
upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof and (y) the lowest
conversion price set forth in such Convertible Security for which one share of Common Stock is issuable (or may become issuable
assuming all possible market conditions) upon conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof
minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person) upon the issuance
or sale of such Convertible Security plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred
on, the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person).  Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of
the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange
of such Convertible Securities or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof, and if any such issuance or sale of such Convertible
Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of this Warrant has been or is to be made pursuant to other
provisions of this Section 3(b), except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made by
reason of such issuance or sale.

 

    	 	10	 

     

    

 

iii. Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion.  If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options,
the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or
the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases
or decreases at any time (other than proportional changes in conversion or exercise prices, as applicable, in connection with an
event referred to in Section 3(a)), the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to
the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased
or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time
initially granted, issued or sold.  For purposes of this Section 3(b)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible
Security that was outstanding as of the date of the Purchase Agreement are increased or decreased in the manner described in the
immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise,
conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease.  For the avoidance
of doubt, an adjustment of the conversion price of the Company’s Series F Preferred Stock to the Reset Conversion Price (as
such term is defined the designations for the Series F Preferred Stock set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation,
as amended (the “Series F Designations”)) pursuant to the Series F Designations, will result in adjustment to
the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 3(b) in accordance with the terms hereof. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 3(b)
shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect.

 

    	 	11	 

     

    

 

iv. Calculation of Consideration Received.  If any Option and/or Convertible Security and/or Adjustment Right is
issued in connection with the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of any other securities of the Company (as determined
by the Holder, the “Primary Security”, and such Option and/or Convertible Security and/or Adjustment Right,
the “Secondary Securities” and together with the Primary Security, each a “Unit”), together
comprising one integrated transaction, the aggregate consideration per share of Common Stock with respect to such Primary Security
shall be deemed to be the lowest of (x) the purchase price of such Unit, (y) if such Primary Security is an Option and/or Convertible
Security, the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the exercise or conversion
of the Primary Security in accordance with Section 3(b)(i) or 3(b)(ii) above and (z) the lowest VWAP of the Common Stock on any
Trading Day during the four Trading Day period immediately following the public announcement of such Dilutive Issuance (for the
avoidance of doubt, if such public announcement is released prior to the opening of the Principal Market on a Trading Day, such
Trading Day shall be the first Trading Day in such four Trading Day period).  If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed
to be the net amount of consideration received by the Company therefor.  If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will
be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case
the amount of consideration received by the Company for such securities will be the arithmetic average of the VWAPs of such security
for each of the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of receipt.  If any shares of Common Stock, Options or
Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company
is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets
and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities (as
the case may be).  The fair market value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined
jointly by the Company and the Holder.  If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence
of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair market value of such consideration will be
determined within five (5) Trading Days after the tenth (10th) day following such Valuation Event by an independent, reputable
appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holder.  The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding
upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company. As used herein,
“Adjustment Right” means any right granted with respect to any securities issued in connection with, or with respect
to, any issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale in accordance with this Section 3) of shares of Common Stock (other than rights
of the type described in Section 3(d) hereof) that could result in a decrease in the net consideration received by the Company
in connection with, or with respect to, such securities (including, without limitation, any cash settlement rights, cash adjustment
or other similar rights).

 

v. Voluntary Adjustment By Company.  On or after the date Shareholder Approval is obtained and deemed effective,
the Company may reduce the then current Exercise Price of this Warrant to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate
by the board of directors of the Company with the prior written consent of the Required Holders with the number of Warrant Shares
issuable hereunder increasing such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after taking into account the reduction
in the Exercise Price, shall be unchanged.

 

    	 	12	 

     

    

 

vi. Record Date.  If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling
them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities
or (B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will
be deemed to be the date of the issuance or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration
of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase
(as the case may be).

 

vii. Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 3(b),
the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately,
so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be
the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment (without regard to any limitations on exercise
contained herein).

 

c) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company
grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata
to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be
entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have
acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without
regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before
the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the
date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase
Rights (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result
in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase
Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent)
and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto
would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

d) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any
dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of
return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or
options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction)
(a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall
be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder
had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations
on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record
is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock
are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, to the extent that the
Holder's right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation,
then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any
shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance
for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation).

 

    	 	13	 

     

    

 

e) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly,
in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company,
directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially
all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions (other than the Asset Sale), (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase
offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common
Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the
holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions
effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant
to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company,
directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination
(including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group
of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any
shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other
Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental
Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each
Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction,
at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares
of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional
consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder
of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction
(without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination
of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate
Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion
the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components
of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received
in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon
any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of
a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable
at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date
of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder
an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation
of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company's control,
including not approved by the Company's Board of Directors or the consideration is not in all stock of the Successor Entity, Holder
shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity, as of the date of consummation of such Fundamental
Transaction, the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value (as defined below)
of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of Common Stock of the Company in connection
with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether
the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the
Fundamental Transaction. Any cash payment will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five (5) Business
Days of the Holder’s election (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction). “Black Scholes
Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black and Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV”
function on Bloomberg, L.P. (“Bloomberg”) determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental
Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period
equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date,
(B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg
as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying
price per share used in such calculation shall be the greater of (i) the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any,
plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (ii) if the Fundamental
Transaction is publicly announced prior to its consummation then the highest VWAP during the period beginning on the date that
such Fundamental Transaction is first publicly announced and the date that such Fundamental Transaction is consummated, (D) a zero
cost of borrow, and (E) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable
Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately
available funds within five Business Days of the Holder’s election (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental
Transaction). The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor
(the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the
other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction
and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced
by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number
of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable
and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such
Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock
(but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value
of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting
the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity
shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this
Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity),
and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant
and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

 

    	 	14	 

     

    

 

f) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a
share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding
as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

 

g) Notice to Holder.

 

i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3,
the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment
and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

    	 	15	 

     

    

 

ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever
form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common
Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase
any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required
in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale
or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock
is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile
or email to the Holder at its last facsimile number or email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company,
at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date
on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record
is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions,
redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the
Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable
upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such
notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified
in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information
regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant
to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the
date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

 

Section 4. Transfer
of Warrant.

 

a) Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section
4(d) hereof and to the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without
limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office
of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto
duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of
such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants
in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument
of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant
shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender
this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this
Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company
assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for
the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

 

    	 	16	 

     

    

 

b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid
office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued,
signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved
in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or
Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated
the original Issue Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

 

c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that
purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may
deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any
distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

 

d) Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant,
the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions
or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer,
that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the provisions of Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement.

 

e) Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring
this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and
not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act
or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.

 

Section 5. Miscellaneous.

 

a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends
or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly
set forth in Section 3.

 

    	 	17	 

     

    

 

b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to
the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in
the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock
certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such
cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

 

c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of
any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised
on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

d) Authorized Shares.

 

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

 

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

 

    	 	18	 

     

    

 

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

 

e) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant
shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

 

f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not
registered and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities
laws.

 

g) Cash Payment Restrictions.

 

i. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, except as and to the extent provided in Section 5(g)(ii)
below, until the date that the Company’s senior indebtedness for borrowed money owed pursuant to that certain Amended and
Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement dated February 15, 2017, as amended, under which approximately $82,000,000 (which amount
includes PIK Interest and accrued interest) is outstanding as of the date hereof (or any refinancing thereof that does not increase
the then-outstanding amount of indebtedness for borrowed money) is no longer outstanding, the Company shall not be required to
make any cash dividend, cash distribution or other cash payment (including, without limitation, any Liquidated Damages Payment
or Buy-In Payment) (“Cash Payments”) to the Holder (a “Cash Payment Restriction”) and the
failure to make any Cash Payments as a result of a Cash Payment Restriction shall not constitute a breach, default, non-compliance
or similar consequence hereunder. In the event that the Company would, but for the existence of a Cash Payment Restriction, be
required to make Cash Payments to the Holder, then, in lieu of making such Cash Payment, the applicable payment shall instead increase
the aggregate Stated Value of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock held by the Holder (with the per share increase in the Stated
Value being allocated pro rata among the shares of Series F Preferred Stock held by the Holder).

 

    	 	19	 

     

    

 

ii. Section 5(g)(i) shall not apply to Liquidated Damages Payments or Buy-In Payments in an amount up to $150,000 in
the aggregate (the “Maximum Monetary Amount”) following the date that is the earlier of (a) the date of
consummation of the Asset Sale and (b) August 23, 2018; provided, that, the Company and the Holder acknowledge and
agree that this Section 5(g)(ii) (or any other provision herein) shall in no event limit, impair or otherwise modify the
terms of the Company’s agreements relating to indebtedness for borrowed money or the rights or remedies of any counterparty
thereunder or under applicable law (and this Section 5(g)(ii) (or any other provision herein) shall not be deemed as a waiver,
consent or other agreement by any such counterparty to the Company’s making of any such Liquidated Damages Payments or Buy-In
Payments). The Holder shall be entitled to up to a portion of the Maximum Monetary Amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing
(x) the original Stated Value of the Holder’s Series F Preferred Stock by (y) the aggregate Stated Value of all Series F
Preferred Stock issued on the Original Issue Date to all the Holders. In addition, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, allocate
its pro-rata portion of the Maximum Monetary Amount among (i) the Liquidated Damages Payment or Buy-In Payment that may be payable
hereunder and (ii) the liquidated damages or buy-in payments that may be payable pursuant to the Series F Preferred Stock issued
to the Holder on or about the date hereof.

 

h) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part
of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without
limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply
with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such
amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees,
including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise
enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

 

i) Notices.
Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be
delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

 

j) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise
this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to
any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability
is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

k) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of
damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would
not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees
to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

    	 	20	 

     

    

 

l) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced
hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors
and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time
of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

 

m) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the
Company and the Holder.

 

n) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective
and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such
provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions
or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

 

o) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose,
be deemed a part of this Warrant.

stock option plans, the issuance of shares of Common Stock to employees pursuant to the Company’s employee stock purchase
plans and pursuant to the conversion and/or exercise of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding as of the date of the most recently
filed periodic report under the Exchange Act. No Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation,

and sale of the Securities or as set forth in Schedule 3.1(g), there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip rights
to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights or obligations convertible
into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or giving any Person any right to subscribe for or acquire any shares of Common Stock
or the capital stock of any Subsidiary, or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary
is or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or capital stock of any Subsidiary.
The issuance and sale of the Securities will not obligate the Company or any Subsidiary to issue shares of Common Stock or other
securities to any Person (other than the Purchasers) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities to adjust
the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such securities. There are no outstanding securities or instruments
of the Company or any Subsidiary that contain any mandatory redemption or similar provisions, and there are no contracts, commitments,
understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to redeem a security of the Company
or such Subsidiary. The Company does not have any stock appreciation rights or “phantom stock” plans or agreements
or any similar plan or agreement. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in compliance with all federal and state securities laws, and none of such outstanding
shares was issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities. No further approval
or authorization of any stockholder, the Board of Directors or others is required for the issuance and sale of the Securities.
Other than the voting agreement entered into in connection with the offering of the Series E Preferred Stock, there are no stockholders
agreements, voting agreements or other similar agreements with respect to the Company’s capital stock to which the Company
is a party or, to the knowledge of the Company, between or among any of the Company’s stockholders.

the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to a collective bargaining agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries believe
that their relationships with their employees are good. To the knowledge of the Company, no executive officer of the Company or
any Subsidiary, is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure
or proprietary information agreement or non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant
in favor of any third party, 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. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance
with all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to employment and employment practices, terms and
conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where the failure to be in compliance could not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(m) Environmental
Laws. The Company and its Subsidiaries (i) are in compliance with all federal, state, local and foreign laws relating to pollution
or protection of human health or the environment (including ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface
strata), including 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,

respective businesses; and (iii) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval where

a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(n) Regulatory
Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal,
state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports,
except where the failure to possess such permits could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (“Material
Permits”), and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation
or modification of any Material Permit.

 

(o) Title
to Assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them
and good and marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries,
in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for (i) Liens as do not materially affect the value of such property and do not
materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and the Subsidiaries and (ii) Liens
for the payment of federal, state or other taxes, for which appropriate reserves have been made therefor in accordance with GAAP
and, the payment of which is neither delinquent nor subject to penalties. Any real property and facilities held under lease by

Subsidiaries are in compliance.

 

    	 	15	 

     

    

 

(p) Intellectual
Property. The Company and the Subsidiaries have, or have rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark
applications, service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses and other intellectual property rights
and similar rights necessary or required for use in connection with their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports
and which the failure to so have could have a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”).
None of, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a notice (written or otherwise) that any of, the Intellectual
Property Rights has expired, terminated or been abandoned, or is expected to expire or terminate or be abandoned, within two (2)
years from the date of this Agreement. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received, since the date of the latest audited
financial statements included within the SEC Reports, a written notice of a claim or otherwise has any knowledge that the Intellectual
Property Rights violate or infringe upon the rights of any Person, except as could not have or reasonably be expected to not have
a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is
no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken
reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their intellectual properties, except
where failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(q) Insurance.

in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged, including,
but not limited to, directors and officers insurance coverage at least equal to the aggregate Subscription Amount. Neither the
Company nor any 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 without
a significant increase in cost.

in excess of $120,000 other than for (i) payment of salary or consulting fees for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for expenses
incurred on behalf of the Company and (iii) other employee benefits, including stock option agreements under any stock option plan

(s) Sarbanes-Oxley;
Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance with any and all applicable requirements of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that are effective as of the date hereof, subject to certain material weaknesses in internal control
over financial reporting as described in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2017,
and any and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission thereunder that are effective as of the date hereof
and as of the Closing Date. The Company and the 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 GAAP and to maintain
asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization,
and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action
is taken with respect to any differences. The Company and the Subsidiaries have established disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and the Subsidiaries and designed such disclosure controls
and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules
and forms. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures of
the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange
Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under
the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based
on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the internal control over
financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) of the Company and its Subsidiaries that have materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

 

(t) Certain
Fees. With the exception of the Placement Agent as set forth on Schedule 3.1(t), no brokerage or finder’s fees
or commissions are or will be payable by the Company or any Subsidiary to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder,
placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
The Purchasers shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons
for fees of a type contemplated in this Section that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents, including but not limited to any fees or commissions payable to the Placement Agent, which the Company is solely responsible
for paying. The Company shall pay, and hold each Purchaser 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. Other than the Placement Agent,
neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged any placement agent or other agent in connection with the offer or
sale of the Securities.

 

(u) Private
Placement. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2, no registration
under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Securities by the Company to the Purchasers as contemplated
hereby. The issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder does not contravene the rules and regulations of the Trading Market.

 

    	 	17	 

     

    

 

(v) Investment
Company. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Securities, will
not be or be an Affiliate of, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become an “investment company” subject
to registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

(w) Registration
Rights. Other than in connection with the Company’s resale registration statement filed on Form S-3 (File No. 333-221731),
no person has any right to cause the Company or any Subsidiary to effect the registration under the Securities Act of any securities
of the Company or any Subsidiary.

 

(x) Listing
and Maintenance Requirements. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and the
Company has taken no action designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration
of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission is contemplating terminating
such registration. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received
notice from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not
in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. The Company is, and has no reason to believe
that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements. The
Common Stock is currently eligible for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing
corporation and the Company is current in payment of the fees to the Depository Trust Company (or such other established clearing
corporation) in connection with such electronic transfer.

 

(y) Application
of Takeover Protections. The Company and the 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 Company’s certificate of incorporation (or similar charter documents)
or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the Purchasers and
the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation
as a result of the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the Purchasers’ ownership of the Securities.

 

(z) Disclosure.
Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company
confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers or their agents or counsel
with any information that it believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information. The Company understands
and confirms that the Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
All of the disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries, their
respective businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Disclosure Schedules to this Agreement, is true and
correct and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make
the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The press releases disseminated
by the Company during the twelve months preceding the date of this Agreement taken as a whole do not contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made and when made, not misleading. The Company acknowledges and
agrees that no Purchaser makes or has made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby
other than those specifically set forth in Section 3.2 hereof.

 

    	 	18	 

     

    

 

(aa) No
Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2,
neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or 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 cause this offering
of the Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of (i) the Securities Act which would require
the registration of any such securities under the Securities Act, or (ii) any applicable shareholder approval provisions of any
Trading Market on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.

 

(bb) Solvency.
Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing, after giving effect to the receipt by the Company
of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets exceeds the
amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including
known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry
on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular
capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital availability
thereof, and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate
all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in
respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability
to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).
The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation
under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from Closing Date. Schedule 3.1(bb) sets
forth as of the date hereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the
Company or any Subsidiary has commitments. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness” means (x) any
liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $50,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary
course of business), (y) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of indebtedness of others, whether
or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties
by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business;
and (z) the present value of any lease payments in excess of $50,000 due under leases required to be capitalized in accordance
with GAAP. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.

 

    	 	19	 

     

    

 

(cc) Tax
Status. Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect, the Company and its Subsidiaries each (i) has made or filed all United States federal, state and local
income and all foreign income and franchise tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject,
(ii) has 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 and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of
all material 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 or
of any Subsidiary know of no basis for any such claim.

 

(dd) No
General Solicitation. Neither the Company nor any Person acting on behalf of the Company has offered or sold any of the Securities
by any form of general solicitation or general advertising. The Company has offered the Securities for sale only to the Purchasers
and certain other “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act.

 

(ee) Foreign
Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor to the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary, any agent
or other person acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary, has (i) directly or indirectly, used any funds for unlawful
contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) made any
unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns
from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any contribution made by the Company or any Subsidiary (or made by any person
acting on its behalf of which the Company is aware) which is in violation of law or (iv) violated in any material respect any provision
of FCPA.

 

(ff) Accountants.
The Company’s accounting firm is set forth on Schedule 3.1(ff) of the Disclosure Schedules. To the knowledge and belief
of the Company, such accounting firm (i) is a registered public accounting firm as required by the Exchange Act and (ii) shall
express its opinion with respect to the financial statements to be included in the Company’s Annual Report for the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2017.

 

    	 	20	 

     

    

 

(gg) Seniority.
As of the Closing Date, except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(gg), no Indebtedness or other claim against the Company is senior
to the Series F Preferred Stock in right of payment, whether with respect to interest or upon liquidation or dissolution, or otherwise,
other than indebtedness secured by purchase money security interests (which is senior only as to underlying assets covered thereby)
and capital lease obligations (which is senior only as to the property covered thereby).

 

(hh) No
Disagreements with Accountants and Lawyers. There are no disagreements of any kind presently existing, or reasonably anticipated
by the Company to arise, between the Company and the accountants and lawyers formerly or presently employed by the Company and
the Company is current with respect to any fees owed to its accountants and lawyers which could affect the Company’s ability
to perform any of its obligations under any of the Transaction Documents.

 

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

 

(jj) Acknowledgment
Regarding Purchaser’s Trading Activity. Anything in this Agreement or elsewhere
herein to the contrary notwithstanding (except for Sections 3.2(g) and 4.15 hereof), it is understood and acknowledged by the
Company that: (i) none of the Purchasers has been asked by the Company to agree, nor has any Purchaser agreed, to desist from
purchasing or selling, long and/or short, securities of the Company, or “derivative” securities based on securities
issued by the Company or to hold the Securities for any specified term, (ii) past or future open market or other transactions
by any Purchaser, specifically including, without limitation, Short Sales or “derivative” transactions, before or
after the closing of this or future private placement transactions, may negatively impact the market price of the Company’s
publicly-traded securities, (iii) any Purchaser, and counter-parties in “derivative” transactions to which any such
Purchaser is a party, directly or indirectly, may presently have a “short” position in the Common Stock and (iv) each
Purchaser shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counter-party in any “derivative”
transaction. The Company further understands and acknowledges that (y) one or more Purchasers may engage in hedging activities
at various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, including, without limitation, during the periods that
the value of the Underlying Shares deliverable with respect to Securities are being determined, and (z) such hedging activities
(if any) could reduce the value of the existing stockholders’ equity interests in the Company at and after the time that

3.2 Representations
and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser, for itself and for no other Purchaser, hereby represents and warrants as
of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date therein, in which case they
shall be accurate as of such date):

 

(a) Organization;
Authority. Such Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited liability
company or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents
and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and
performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction
Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with
the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance
with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating
to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification
and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

 

(b) Own
Account. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered
under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account
and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act
or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation of the Securities
Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to
distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities
law (this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to the Registration
Statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities
hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.

 

(c) Purchaser
Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on
which it exercises any Warrants or converts any shares of Series F Preferred Stock, it will be an “accredited investor”
as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act.

 

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

 

    	 	24	 

     

    

 

(e) General
Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not, to such Purchaser’s knowledge, purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement,
article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast
over television or radio or presented at any seminar or, to the knowledge of such Purchaser, any other general solicitation or
general advertisement.

 

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

 

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

 

    	 	25	 

     

    

 

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

 

ARTICLE IV.

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

 

4.1 Transfer Restrictions.

 

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

 

(b) The Purchasers
agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:

 

[NEITHER] THIS SECURITY [NOR
THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS [EXERCISABLE] [CONVERTIBLE]] HAS [NOT] BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO,
THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY [AND
THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON [EXERCISE] [CONVERSION] OF THIS SECURITY] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT
WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED
IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

 

    	 	26	 

     

    

 

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

 

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

 

    	 	27	 

     

    

 

(d) In addition
to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, (i) as partial liquidated damages
and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Underlying Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such Securities are
submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.1(c), $10 per Trading
Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after
the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend (such payment, a “Liquidated Damages Payment”)
and (ii) if the Company fails to (a) issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to a Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date a certificate
representing the Securities so delivered to the Company by such Purchaser that is free from all restrictive and other legends and
(b) if after the Legend Removal Date such Purchaser purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock
to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Purchaser of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale
of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock that such Purchaser anticipated
receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend, then, an amount equal to the excess of such Purchaser’s total
purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased
(including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) (the “Buy-In
Price”) over the product of (x) such number of Underlying Shares that the Company was required to deliver to such
Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date multiplied by (y) the lowest closing sale price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during
the period commencing on the date of the delivery by such Purchaser to the Company of the applicable Underlying Shares (as the
case may be) and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this clause (ii) (such payment, a “Buy-in Payment”).

 

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

 

4.2 Acknowledgment
of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations
under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Underlying Shares pursuant to the Transaction
Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless
of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against any Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect
that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.

 

    	 	28	 

     

    

 

4.3 Furnishing of
Information; Public Information.

 

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

 

(b) At any
time during the period commencing from the six (6) month anniversary of the date hereof and ending at such time that all of the
Securities may be sold without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without restriction
or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if the Company (i) shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement
under Rule 144(c) or (ii) has ever been an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) or becomes an issuer in the future, and the Company
shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) (a “Public Information Failure”) then, in addition
to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages
and not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Securities, an amount in cash equal
to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate Subscription Amount of such Purchaser’s Securities on the day of a Public Information
Failure and on every thirtieth (30th) day (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the
earlier of (a) the date such Public Information Failure is cured and (b) such time that such public information is no longer required 
for the Purchasers to transfer the Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144.  The payments to which a Purchaser shall be entitled
pursuant to this Section 4.3(b) are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure Payments.”  Public
Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information
Failure Payments are incurred and (ii) the third (3rd) Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public
Information Failure Payments is cured.  In the event the Company fails to make Public Information Failure Payments in a timely
manner, such Public Information Failure Payments shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (prorated for partial months)
until paid in full. Nothing herein shall limit such Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Public Information
Failure, and such Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without
limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.

 

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

 

    	 	29	 

     

    

 

4.5 Conversion and
Exercise Procedures. Each of the form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants and the form of Notice of Conversion included
in the Certificate of Designation set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to exercise the
Warrants or convert the Series F Preferred Stock. Without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original Notice of Exercise
or Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any
Notice of Exercise or Notice of Conversion form be required in order to exercise the Warrants or convert the Series F Preferred
Stock. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchasers to exercise their Warrants
or convert their Series F Preferred Stock. The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and conversions of the Series F Preferred
Stock and shall deliver Underlying Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction
Documents.

without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of any Purchaser, or without the prior consent of each
Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except

of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any
Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without

unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have consented to the receipt of such information and agreed with the Company to keep
such information confidential. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant
in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. To the extent that the Company delivers any material, non-public information
to a Purchaser without such Purchaser’s consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that such Purchaser shall not have
any duty of confidentiality to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees

to applicable law. To the extent that any notice provided pursuant to any Transaction Document constitutes, or contains, material,
non-public information regarding the Company or any Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission
pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing
covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against the
Purchaser Parties in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not
an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless
such action is solely based upon a material breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under
the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such stockholder or any violations
by such Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which constitutes fraud, gross
negligence or willful misconduct). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may
be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall
have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any
Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but
the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment
thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time
to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material
conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the
Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not
be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s
prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a
loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties,
covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification
required by this Section 4.10 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or
defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any
cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject
to pursuant to law.

4.11 Reservation
and Listing of Securities.

 

(a) The Company
shall maintain a reserve of the Required Minimum from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction
Documents in such amount as may then be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents.

 

(b) If, on
any date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) shares of Common Stock is less than 250% of (i) the
Required Minimum on such date, minus (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock previously issued pursuant to the Transaction Documents,
then the Board of Directors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Company’s certificate or articles of incorporation
to increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to at least the Required Minimum at such time (minus the
number of shares of Common Stock previously issued pursuant to the Transaction Documents), as soon as possible and in any event
not later than the 75th day after such date, provided that the Company will not be required at any time to authorize
a number of shares of Common Stock greater than the maximum remaining number of shares of Common Stock that could possibly be issued
after such time pursuant to the Transaction Documents.

 

(c) The Company
shall, if applicable: (i) in the time and manner required by the principal Trading Market, prepare and file with such Trading Market
an additional shares listing application covering a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to the Required Minimum on
the date of such application, (ii) take all steps necessary to cause such shares of Common Stock to be approved for listing or
quotation on such Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter, (iii) provide to the Purchasers evidence of such listing or quotation
and (iv) maintain the listing or quotation of such Common Stock on any date at least equal to the Required Minimum on such date
on such Trading Market or another Trading Market. The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock for electronic
transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely
payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic
transfer. In addition, the Company shall hold a special meeting of shareholders (which may also be at the annual meeting of shareholders)
at the earliest practical date, but in no event 45 days following the Closing Date, for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder Approval,
with the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors that such proposal be approved, and the Company shall solicit
proxies from its shareholders in connection therewith in the same manner as all other management proposals in such proxy statement
and all management-appointed proxyholders shall vote their proxies in favor of such proposal. The Company shall use its reasonable
best efforts to obtain such Shareholder Approval. If the Company does not obtain Shareholder Approval at the first meeting, the
Company shall call a meeting every four months thereafter to seek Shareholder Approval until the earlier of the date Shareholder
Approval is obtained or the Series F Preferred Stock is no longer outstanding.

4.12 Participation
in Future Financing.

 

(a) Subject
to the rights of certain purchasers pursuant to Section 4.11 of the November 2017 Purchase Agreement, from the date hereof until
the date that is the 18 month anniversary of the Closing Date, upon any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents for cash consideration, Indebtedness or a combination of units thereof (a “Subsequent
Financing”), each Purchaser with a Subscription Amount equal to at least $500,000 (each such Purchaser, a “Significant
Purchaser”) shall have the right to participate in up to an amount of the Subsequent Financing equal to 100% of the Subsequent
Financing (the “Participation Maximum”) on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent
Financing.

 

(b) At least
five (5) Trading Days prior to the closing of the Subsequent Financing, the Company shall deliver to each Significant Purchaser
a written notice of its intention to effect a Subsequent Financing (“Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall ask
such Significant Purchaser if it wants to review the details of such financing (such additional notice, a “Subsequent
Financing Notice”).  Upon the request of a Significant Purchaser, and only upon a request by such Significant Purchaser,
for a Subsequent Financing Notice, the Company shall promptly, but no later than one (1) Trading Day after such request, deliver
a Subsequent Financing Notice to such Significant Purchaser.  The Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable
detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder and the Person
or Persons through or with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected and shall include a term sheet or similar
document relating thereto as an attachment.

 

(c) Any Significant
Purchaser desiring to participate in such Subsequent Financing must provide written notice to the Company by not later than 5:30
p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after all of the Significant Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice
that such Significant Purchaser is willing to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of such Purchaser’s participation,
and representing and warranting that such Significant Purchaser has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment on
the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice. If the Company receives no such notice from a Significant Purchaser as
of such fifth (5th) Trading Day, such Significant Purchaser shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it does
not elect to participate.

 

(d) If by
5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after all of the Significant Purchasers have received
the Pre-Notice, notifications by the Significant Purchasers of their willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing (or
to cause their designees to participate) is, in the aggregate, less than the total amount of the Subsequent Financing, then the
Company may effect the remaining portion of such Subsequent Financing on the terms and with the Persons set forth in the Subsequent
Financing Notice.

 

    	 	33	 

     

    

 

(e) If by
5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice,
the Company receives responses to a Subsequent Financing Notice from Significant Purchasers seeking to purchase more than the aggregate
amount of the Participation Maximum, each such Significant Purchaser shall have the right to purchase its Pro Rata Portion (as
defined below) of the Participation Maximum.  “Pro Rata Portion” means the ratio of (x) the Subscription
Amount of Securities purchased on the Closing Date by a Significant Purchaser participating under this Section 4.12 and (y) the
sum of the aggregate Subscription Amounts of Securities purchased on the Closing Date by all Significant Purchasers participating
under this Section 4.12.

 

(f) The Company
must provide the Significant Purchasers with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and the Significant Purchasers will again have
the right of participation set forth above in this Section 4.12, if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent
Financing Notice is not consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within thirty (30)
Trading Days after the date of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice.

 

(g)
The Company and each Significant Purchaser agree that if any Significant Purchaser elects to participate in the Subsequent
Financing, the transaction documents related to the Subsequent Financing shall not include any term or provision whereby such
Significant Purchaser shall be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any of the Securities purchased hereunder
or be required to consent to any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver, release or the like under or in connection
with, this Agreement, without the prior written consent of such Significant Purchaser. In addition, the Company and each Significant
Purchaser agree that, in connection with a Subsequent Financing, the transaction documents related to the Subsequent Financing
shall include a requirement for the Company to issue a widely disseminated press release by 9:30 am (New York City time) on the
Trading Day of execution of the transaction documents in such Subsequent Financing (or, if the date of execution is not a Trading
Day, on the immediately following Trading Day) that discloses the material terms of the transactions contemplated by the transaction
documents in such Subsequent Financing.

 

(h) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 4.12 and unless otherwise agreed to by such Significant Purchaser, the Company shall either
confirm in writing to such Significant Purchaser that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been abandoned
or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the securities in the Subsequent Financing, in either case in such a manner such
that such Significant Purchaser will not be in possession of any material, non-public information, by the tenth (10th)
Business Day following delivery of the Subsequent Financing Notice. If by such tenth (10th) Business Day, no public
disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment
of such transaction has been received by such Significant Purchaser, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and
such Significant Purchaser shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing,
this Section 4.12 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance.

 

    	 	34	 

     

    

 

4.13 Subsequent Equity
Sales.

 

(a) Except
for the issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents in connection with the Asset Sale, from the date hereof until 45 days
after the Effective Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the
issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents.

 

(b) From
the date hereof until two (2) years from the Closing Date, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement
to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or a combination
of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in
which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for,
or include the right to receive, additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange
rate or other price that is based upon, and/or varies with, the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock
at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that
is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence
of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock
or (ii) enters into, or effects a transaction under, any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby
the Company may issue securities at a future determined price. Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against
the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.

 

(c) Unless
Shareholder Approval has been obtained and deemed effective, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall make any issuance whatsoever
of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents which would (i) cause any adjustment of the Conversion Price to the extent the holders
of Preferred Stock would not be permitted, pursuant to Section 6(e) of the Certificate of Designation and exercise their respective
Warrants in full, ignoring for such purposes the other conversion or exercise limitations therein or (ii) be at an effective price
per share less than the Conversion Price than in effect. Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the
Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages

 

(d) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 4.13 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction shall
be an Exempt Issuance.

 

    	 	35	 

     

    

 

4.14 Equal Treatment
of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid to any Person
to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is
also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate
right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to
treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect
to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.

 

4.15 Certain Transactions
and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it, nor any
Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales,
of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time
that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described
in Section 4.6.  Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press release as described
in Section 4.6, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information
included in the Disclosure Schedules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to
the contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant
hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.6,
(ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance
with applicable securities laws from and after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly
announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.6 and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality
or duty not to trade in the securities of the Company to the Company or its Subsidiaries after the issuance of the initial press
release as described in Section 4.6.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment
vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers
have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s
assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that
made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.

 

    	 	36	 

     

    

 

4.16
Cash Payment Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Agreement, until the date that the Company’s senior indebtedness for borrowed money owed pursuant to that certain Amended
and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement dated February 15, 2017, as amended, under which approximately $82,000,000 (which amount
includes PIK Interest and accrued interest) is outstanding as of the date hereof (or any refinancing thereof that does not increase
the then-outstanding amount of indebtedness for borrowed money) is no longer outstanding, the Company shall not be required to
make any cash payment pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, any Liquidated Damages Payments, Public Information
Failure Payments or Buy-In Payment) (“Cash Payments”) to any Purchaser (a “Cash Payment Restriction”)
and the failure to make any Cash Payments as a result of a Cash Payment Restriction shall not constitute a breach, default, non-compliance
or similar consequence hereunder. In the event that the Company would, but for the existence of a Cash Payment Restriction, be
required to make Cash Payments to any Purchaser, then, in lieu of making such Cash Payment, the applicable payment shall instead
increase the aggregate Stated Value of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock held by such Purchaser (with the per share increase
in the Stated Value being allocated pro rata among the shares of Series F Preferred Stock held by such Purchaser).

 

4.17 Form D; Blue
Sky Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to
provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of any Purchaser. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably
determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchasers at the Closing
under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such
actions promptly upon request of any Purchaser.

 

4.18 Capital Changes.
Until the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company shall not undertake a reverse or forward stock split or reclassification
of the Common Stock without the prior written consent of the Purchasers holding a majority in interest of the shares of Series
F Preferred Stock unless necessary to maintain listing of its Common Stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market.

 

ARTICLE V.

MISCELLANEOUS

 

5.1 Termination. 
This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder only and without any effect
whatsoever on the obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other parties, if the Closing
has not been consummated on or before March 2, 2018; provided, however, that no such termination will affect the
right of any party to sue for any breach by any other party (or parties).

 

5.2 Fees and Expenses.
At the Closing, the Company has agreed to reimburse Hudson Bay Master Fund Ltd. the non-accountable sum of $25,000 for its legal

expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident
to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent
fees (including, without limitation, any fees required for same-day processing of any instruction letter delivered by the Company
and any conversion or exercise notice delivered by a Purchaser), stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with
the delivery of any Securities to the Purchasers.

5.3 Entire Agreement.
The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect
to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.

 

5.4 Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and

to any Transaction Document constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries,
the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

5.5 Amendments;
Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed,
in the case of an amendment, by the Company and Purchasers which purchased at least 50.1% in interest of the Series F Preferred
Stock based on the initial Subscription Amounts hereunder (and which must include the Required Holders) or, in the case of a waiver,
by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought, provided that if any amendment, modification or waiver
disproportionately and adversely impacts a Purchaser (or group of Purchasers), the consent of such disproportionately impacted
Purchaser (or group of Purchasers) shall also be required. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or
requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or
a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any
right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right. Any proposed amendment or waiver that disproportionately,
materially and adversely affects the rights and obligations of any Purchaser relative to the comparable rights and obligations
of the other Purchasers shall require the prior written consent of such adversely affected Purchaser. Any amendment effected in
accordance with this Section 5.5 shall be binding upon each Purchaser and holder of Securities and the Company.

 

    	 	38	 

     

    

 

5.6 Headings.

any of the provisions hereof.

 

5.7 Successors and
Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.
The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Purchaser
(other than by merger). Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Purchaser
assigns or transfers any Securities, provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred
Securities, by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchasers.”

 

5.8 No Third-Party
Beneficiaries. The Placement Agent shall be the third party beneficiary of the representations and warranties of the Company
in Section 3.1 hereof and with respect to the representations and warranties of the Purchasers in Section 3.2 hereof. This Agreement
is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit
of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.10 and this Section
5.8.

 

5.9 Governing Law.
All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed
by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of
conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto
or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively
in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder
or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement
of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Action or Proceeding, any
claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such Action or Proceeding is improper or is
an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process
being served in any such Action or Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery
(with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such
service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to
limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If any party shall commence an Action or Proceeding
to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then, in addition to the obligations of the Company under Section 4.10,
the prevailing party in such Action or Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for its reasonable attorneys’
fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Action or Proceeding.

 

    	 	39	 

     

    

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

5.13 Rescission
and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of)
any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction
Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser
may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand
or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, that, in the
case of a rescission of a conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock or exercise of a Warrant, the applicable Purchaser shall be
required to return any shares of Common Stock subject to any such rescinded conversion or exercise notice concurrently with the
return to such Purchaser of the aggregate exercise price paid to the Company for such shares and the restoration of such Purchaser’s
right to acquire such shares pursuant to such Purchaser’s Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate
evidencing such restored right).

 

5.14 Replacement
of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company
shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or
in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall
also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.

 

    	 	40	 

     

    

 

5.15 Remedies.
In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of
the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that
monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the
Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation
the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

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

 

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

 

    	 	41	 

     

    

 

5.18 Independent
Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several
and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance
or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any
other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the
Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers
are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the
rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser
to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate
legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience only, each
Purchaser and its respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company through EGS. EGS does not represent any of the
Purchasers and only represents the Placement Agent. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction
Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It
is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between
the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the
Purchasers.

 

5.19 Liquidated Damages.
The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is
a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have
been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts
are due and payable shall have been canceled.

 

5.20 Saturdays, Sundays,
Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted
herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business
Day.

 

5.21 Construction.
The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction
Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting
party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and
every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse
and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after
the date of this Agreement.

 

5.22 WAIVER OF
JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES
EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY
AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.
