has not been an issuer subject to Rule 144(i) under the Securities Act. As of their respective dates, the financial statements
of the Company included in the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules
and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing. Such financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods
involved (“GAAP”), except as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto and except
that unaudited financial statements may not contain all footnotes required by GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects
the financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations
and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial, year-end audit
adjustments. The agreements and documents described in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, and
the SEC Reports conform in all material aspects to the descriptions thereof contained therein and there are no agreements or other
documents required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder to be described in the Registration Statement,
the Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement or the SEC Reports or to be filed with the Commission as exhibits to the Registration
Statement, that have not been so described or filed. Each agreement or other instrument (however characterized or described) to
which the Company is a party or by which it is or may be bound or affected and (i) that is referred to in the Registration Statement,
the Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement or the SEC Reports, or (ii) is material to the Company’s business (each, a “Material
Agreement”), has been duly authorized and validly executed by the Company, is in full force and effect in all material respects
and is enforceable against the Company and, to the Company’s knowledge, the other parties thereto, in accordance with its
terms, except (x) as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’
rights generally, (y) as enforceability of any indemnification or contribution provision may be limited under the federal and state
securities laws, and (z) that the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject
to the equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefore may be brought. No Material
Agreement has been assigned by the Company, and neither the Company nor, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, any other
party is in default thereunder and, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, no event has occurred that, with the lapse of
time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default thereunder that has had or that could reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, performance by the Company of the material
provisions of the Material Agreements will not result in a violation of any existing applicable law, rule, regulation, judgment,
order or decree of any governmental agency or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its assets
or businesses, including, without limitation, those relating to environmental laws and regulations. The other financial and statistical
information included in the SEC Reports present fairly, in all material respects, the information included therein and have been
prepared on a basis consistent with that of the financial statements that are included in the SEC Reports and the books and records
of the respective entities presented therein.

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

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.

a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(n) Regulatory
Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations, approvals, orders, licenses and permits
issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory authorities, or by any foreign, federal, state or local governmental
or regulatory authority 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 (each, a “Material Permit”),
and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of
any Material Permit. The disclosures in the Registration Statement concerning the effects of federal, state, local and all foreign
regulation on the Company’s business as currently contemplated are correct in all material respects.

Schedule 3.1(p) sets forth all of the Intellectual Property Rights that the Company and its Subsidiaries own or have the rights
to use. 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

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

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.

 

(y) 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 which is not otherwise disclosed
in the Prospectus Supplement. 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. There are no documents required to be filed with the Commission in connection with the transaction
contemplated hereby that (x) have not been filed as required pursuant to the Securities Act or (y) will not be filed within the
requisite time period. There are no contracts or other documents required to be described in the Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus,
or to be filed as exhibits or schedules to the Registration Statement, which have not been described or filed as required. 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made and when made, not misleading. The
statistical and market-related data included in the Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement, if any, are based on or derived from
sources that the Company reasonably and in good faith believes are reliable and accurate or represent the Company’s good
faith estimates that are made on the basis of data derived from such sources. The Company has obtained all consents required for
the inclusion of such statistical and market-related data in the Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement. No forward-looking statement
(within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act) contained in the Prospectus or Prospectus
Supplement has been made or reaffirmed without a reasonable basis or has been disclosed other than in good faith. 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.

 

(z) 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 the Warrants or Warrant Shares 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.

 

    13

     

    

 

(aa) Solvency.
Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, 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 the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt,
such reorganization does not include the Company’s mergers, acquisitions or other strategic transactions which are not for
the primary purpose of avoiding bankruptcy. Schedule 3.1(aa) 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 US$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 US$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.

 

(bb) 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. The provisions for taxes payable, if any, shown on the financial statements filed with or as part
of the Registration Statement, Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement are sufficient for all accrued and unpaid taxes, whether or
not disputed, and for all periods to and including the dates of such consolidated financial statements. The term “taxes”
mean all federal, state, local, foreign, and other net income, gross income, gross receipts, sales, use, ad valorem, transfer,
franchise, profits, license, lease, service, service use, withholding, payroll, employment, excise, severance, stamp, occupation,
premium, property, windfall profits, customs, duties or other taxes, fees, assessments, or charges of any kind whatsoever, together
with any interest and any penalties, additions to tax, or additional amounts with respect thereto. The term “returns”
means all returns, declarations, reports, statements, and other documents required to be filed in respect to taxes.

 

(cc) 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.
The Company has taken commercially reasonable steps to ensure that its accounting controls and procedures are designed to cause
the Company to comply in all material respects with the FCPA.

 

(dd) Accountants.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the years ended June 30, 2020, June 30, 2019 was Friedman
LLP, which is a registered public accounting firm as required by the Exchange Act. On October 26, 2020, the Company appointed Audit
Alliance LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm. To the knowledge and belief of the Company, Audit Alliance LLP
shall express its opinion with respect to the financial statements to be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021.

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, presently
may 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 Warrant Shares deliverable with respect
to Securities are being determined, if applicable, 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 the hedging activities are being conducted. The
Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute a breach of any of the Transaction Documents.

Company policy or practice to knowingly grant, stock options prior to, or otherwise knowingly coordinate the grant of stock options
with, the release or other public announcement of material information regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries or their financial
results or prospects.

money laundering statutes and applicable rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”),
and no Action or Proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company
or any Subsidiary with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary, threatened.

 

(mm) D&O Questionnaires.
To the Company’s knowledge, all information contained in the questionnaires most recently completed by each of the Company’s
directors and officers and beneficial owner of 5% or more of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents is true and correct in
all respects and the Company has not become aware of any information which would cause the information disclosed in such questionnaires
become inaccurate and incorrect.

 

(nn) FINRA Affiliation.
No officer, director or any beneficial owner of 5% or more of the Company’s Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents has
any direct or indirect affiliation or association with any FINRA member (as determined in accordance with the rules and regulations
of FINRA) that is participating in the Offering. Except for securities purchased on the open market, no Company Affiliate is an
owner of stock or other securities of any member of FINRA. No Company Affiliate has made a subordinated loan to any member of FINRA.
No proceeds from the sale of the Securities (excluding compensation as disclosed in the Prospectus Supplement to the Placement
Agent) will be paid to any FINRA member, any persons associated with a FINRA member or an affiliate of a FINRA member. Except as
disclosed in the Registration Statement, Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement and except for securities issued to the Placement
Agent as disclosed in the Prospectus Supplement, no person to whom securities of the Company have been privately issued within
the 180-day period prior to the initial filing date of the Prospectus Supplement is a FINRA member, is a person associated with
a FINRA member or is an affiliate of a FINRA member. No FINRA member participating in the offering has a conflict of interest with
the Company. For this purpose, a “conflict of interest” exists when a FINRA member, the parent or affiliate of a FINRA
member or any person associated with a FINRA member in the aggregate beneficially own 5% or more of the Company’s outstanding
subordinated debt or common equity, or 5% or more of the Company’s preferred equity. “FINRA member participating in
the offering” includes any associated person of a FINRA member that is participating in the offering, any member of such
associated person’s immediate family and any affiliate of a FINRA member that is participating in the offering. “Any
person associated with a FINRA member” means (1) a natural person who is registered or has applied for registration under
the rules of FINRA and (2) a sole proprietor, partner, officer, director, or branch manager of a FINRA member, or other natural
person occupying a similar status or performing similar functions, or a natural person engaged in the investment banking or securities
business who is directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by a FINRA member. When used in this Section 3.1(mm) the term
“affiliate of a FINRA member” or “affiliated with a FINRA member” means an entity that controls, is controlled
by or is under common control with a FINRA member. The Company will advise the Placement Agent and Loeb if it learns that any officer,
director or owner of 5% or more of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents is or becomes an affiliate
or associated person of a FINRA member firm.

 

(oo) Officers’
Certificate. Any certificate signed by any duly authorized officer of the Company and delivered to the Purchasers shall be
deemed a representation and warranty by the Company to the Purchasers as to the matters covered thereby.

 

(pp) Board of Directors.
The qualifications of the persons serving as board members and the overall composition of the Board of Directors comply with the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and the rules of the Trading Market.
At least one member of the Board of Directors qualifies as a “financial expert” as such term is defined under the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002 and the rules promulgated thereunder and the rules of the Trading Market. In addition, at least a majority of the persons
serving on the Board of Directors qualify as “independent” as defined under the rules of the Trading Market.

 

    16

     

    

 

(qq) ERISA.
The Company is not a party to an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), which: (i) is subject to any provision of ERISA and (ii) is or was at any
time maintained, administered or contributed to by the Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates (as defined hereafter). These plans
are referred to collectively herein as the “Employee Plans.” An “ERISA Affiliate” of any person or entity
means any other person or entity which, together with that person or entity, could be treated as a single employer under Section
414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Each Employee Plan has been
maintained in material compliance with its terms and the requirements of applicable law. No Employee Plan is subject to Title IV
of ERISA. The Registration Statement, Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement identify each employment, severance or other similar
agreement, arrangement or policy and each material plan or arrangement required to be disclosed pursuant to the Rules and Regulations
providing for insurance coverage (including any self-insured arrangements), workers’ compensation, disability benefits, severance
benefits, supplemental unemployment benefits, vacation benefits or retirement benefits, or deferred compensation, profit-sharing,
bonuses, stock options, stock appreciation rights or other forms of incentive compensation, or post-retirement insurance, compensation
or benefits, which: (i) is not an Employee Plan; (ii) is entered into, maintained or contributed to, as the case may be, by the
Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates; and (iii) covers any officer or director or former officer or director of the Company or
any of its ERISA Affiliates. These agreements, arrangements, policies or plans are referred to collectively as “Benefit Arrangements.”
Each Benefit Arrangement has been maintained in material compliance with its terms and with the requirements of applicable law.
There is no liability in respect of post-retirement health and medical benefits for retired employees of the Company or any of
its ERISA Affiliates, other than medical benefits required to be continued under applicable law. No “prohibited transaction”
(as defined in either Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) has occurred with respect to any Employee Plan; and each
Employee Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified, and nothing has occurred, whether
by action or by failure to act, which could cause the loss of such qualification.

 

(rr) No Immunity.
None of the Company or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties, assets or revenues has any right of immunity, under
the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia or the State of New York, from any legal action, suit or proceeding, the giving of any
relief in any such legal action, suit or proceeding, set-off or counterclaim, the jurisdiction of any Virginia, New York or United
States federal court, service of process, attachment upon or prior to judgment, or attachment in aid of execution of judgment,
or execution of a judgment, or other legal process or proceeding for the giving of any relief or for the enforcement of a judgment,
in any such court, with respect to its obligations, liabilities or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection with
this Agreement and the Transaction Documents; and, to the extent that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
properties, assets or revenues may have or may hereafter become entitled to any such right of immunity in any such court in which
proceedings may at any time be commenced, each of the Company and its Subsidiaries waives or will waive such right to the extent
permitted by law and has consented to such relief and enforcement as provided in this Agreement.

 

(ss) [Reserved].

 

(tt) 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 Warrant or the Warrant Shares by the Company to the Purchasers as contemplated
hereby.

 

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

 

    17

     

    

 

(vv) No Disqualification
Events. With respect to the Warrants and Warrant Shares to be offered and sold hereunder in reliance on Rule 506 under the
Securities Act, none of the Company, any of its predecessors, any affiliated issuer, any director, executive officer, other officer
of the Company participating in the offering hereunder, any beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding
voting equity securities, calculated on the basis of voting power, nor any promoter (as that term is defined in Rule 405 under
the Securities Act) connected with the Company in any capacity at the time of sale (each, an “Issuer Covered Person”)
is subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the Securities
Act (a “Disqualification Event”), except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3). The Company
has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any Issuer Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event. The Company
has complied, to the extent applicable, with its disclosure obligations under Rule 506(e), and has furnished to the Purchasers
a copy of any disclosures provided thereunder.

 

(ww) Other Covered
Persons. Other than the Placement Agent, the Company is not aware of any person (other than any Issuer Covered Person) that
has been or will be paid (directly or indirectly) remuneration for solicitation of purchasers in connection with the sale of any
Securities.

 

(xx) Notice
of Disqualification Events. The Company will notify the Purchasers in writing, prior to the Closing Date of (i) any Disqualification
Event relating to any Issuer Covered Person and (ii) any event that would, with the passage of time, reasonably be expected to
become a Disqualification Event relating to any Issuer Covered Person, in each case of which it is aware.

 

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) Understandings
or Arrangements. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and has no direct or indirect
arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities (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. Such Purchaser understands that the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are “restricted securities”
and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring such Securities as
principal for his, her or 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
such Securities pursuant to a registration statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws).

 

(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, it will be either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2),
(a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a)
under the Securities Act.

 

    18

     

    

 

(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.

 

(e) 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.

 

(f) 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 pricing 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.

 

(g) General
Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not 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.

 

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 Removal
of Legends.

 

(a) The
Warrants and Warrant Shares may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any
transfer of Warrants or Warrant Shares 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 Warrants or Warrant Shares under the Securities Act.

 

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

 

NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR THE SECURITIES
INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS EXERCISABLE HAS 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 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.

 

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 Warrants or Warrant Shares 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 Warrants or Warrant Shares to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer shall
not require a legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledger. The Board of Directors may not refuse or
delay the transfer unless: (a) the Purchaser has failed to pay an amount due in respect of such securities; or (b) such refusal
or delay is deemed necessary in the opinion of its legal counsel in order to avoid violation of, or in order to ensure compliance
with, any applicable corporate, securities and other laws and regulation; provided, that in no event shall such refusal or delay
be unreasonably withheld. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the Purchaser’s expense, the Company will
execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Warrants and Warrant Shares may reasonably request
in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Warrants or Warrant Shares.

 

(c) Certificates
or statements evidencing the Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof):
(i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act; or (ii) following
any sale of such Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants); or (iii) if such Warrant 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 a Purchaser promptly if required
by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder, or if requested by such Purchaser; provided, however, that
if any such legal opinion relates to legend removal, or sale of Securities, pursuant to Rule 144, such opinion may contain a provision
allowing Company counsel to withdraw the right of the addressee to rely on such legal opinion in the event that the such counsel
delivers a written notice to the addressee that the Company has subsequently failed for any reason to satisfy the current public
information requirement under Rule 144(c), to the extent that Rule 144(c) is then applicable. If all or any portion of a Warrant
is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Warrant Shares, or if such
Warrant Shares may be sold under Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants) 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 Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following such time as
such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), the Company 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 Warrant 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. Warrant 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 Warrant Shares issued with a restrictive
legend.

 

    20

     

    

 

(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 US$1,000 of Warrant 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), US$10 per Trading
Day (increasing to US$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 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 (A) such number of Warrant Shares
that the Company was required to deliver to such Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date multiplied by (B) 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 Warrant Shares (as the case may be) and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this Section
4.1(d).

 

(e) The
Shares shall be issued free of legends.

 

4.2 Furnishing
of Information.

 

(a) Until
the earlier of the time that (i) no Purchaser owns Securities or (ii) all of the Warrants have expired, the Company covenants 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 Warrant Shares (assuming cashless exercise) 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 such an issuer in the future, and the Company shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) (a “Public
Information Failure”) then, 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 Warrant Shares, an amount in cash equal to one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate Exercise Price of such Purchaser’s Warrants
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 Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144. The payments to which a Purchaser
shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.2(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.

 

    21

     

    

 

4.3 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 Warrants or Warrant Shares 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.

 

4.4 Securities
Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall (a) on or prior to 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on February 8, 2021, issue
a press release disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) file a Current on Form 8-K, including
the Transaction Documents as exhibits thereto, with the Commission within the time required by the Exchange Act. From and after
the issuance of such press release, the Company represents to the Purchasers that it shall have publicly disclosed all material,
non-public information delivered to any of the Purchasers by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective
officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. In addition,
effective upon the issuance of such press release, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar
obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates on the one hand, and any of the Purchasers or any of their Affiliates on the
other hand, shall terminate. The Company and each Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any such press release nor
otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of any Purchaser,
or without the prior consent of each Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably
be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide
the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not
publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory
agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except (a) as required by federal securities law
in connection with the filing of final Transaction Documents with the Commission and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required
by law or Trading Market or FINRA regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such
disclosure permitted under this clause (b).

 

4.5 Shareholder
Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that any
Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including
any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company,
or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities
under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers.

 

4.6 Non-Public
Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents,
which shall be disclosed pursuant to Section 4.4, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting
on its behalf will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes, or the Company reasonably
believes constitutes, material non-public information, 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, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of its respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates 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 or Affiliates, or a duty to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates not to trade on the basis of, such material, non-public information, provided
that the Purchaser shall remain subject 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.

4.7 Use
of Proceeds. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.7 attached hereto, the Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the
Securities hereunder for working capital and capital expenditure purposes and shall not use such proceeds: (a) for the satisfaction
of any portion of the Company’s debt (other than payment of trade payables in the ordinary course of the Company’s
business and prior practices); (b) for the redemption of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents; (c) for the settlement
of any outstanding litigation; or (d) in violation of FCPA or OFAC regulations.

 

4.8 Indemnification
of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.8, the Company will indemnify (to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law) and hold each Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, managers, partners, employees and agents
(and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title
or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section
20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons
with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of
such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims,
contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’
fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach
of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or 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 is finally judicially determined to constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (c) in connection
with any registration statement of the Company providing for the resale by the Purchasers of the Warrant Shares issued and issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company will indemnify each Purchaser Party, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’
fees) and expenses, as incurred, arising out of or relating to (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in such registration statement, any prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary
prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions
are based solely upon information regarding such Purchaser Party furnished in writing to the Company by such Purchaser Party expressly
for use therein, or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state
securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder in connection therewith. 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 one 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 (x) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (y) the Company has failed after
a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (z) 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 (1) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected
without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (2) 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 4.8 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.

 

    23

     

    

 

4.9 Reservation
of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available
at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company
to issue Shares pursuant to this Agreement and Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Warrants.

 

4.10 Listing
of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on
the Trading Market on which it is currently listed, and prior to the Closing, the Company shall have applied to list or quote all
of the Shares and Warrant Shares on such Trading Market and concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall have not received
any information indicating that the listing of such Shares and Warrant Shares is or will be rejected. The Company further agrees,
if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will then include in such application all
of the Shares and Warrant Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Shares and Warrant Shares
to be listed or quoted on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The Company will then take all action reasonably necessary
to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s
reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the 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.

 

4.11 Intentionally
Omitted.

 

4.12 Subsequent
Equity Sales.

 

(a) From
the date hereof until forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall issue, enter into
any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or file any
registration statement, or amendment or supplement thereto, with the Commission, other than a prospectus filed with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) in connection with this offering.

 

(b) From
the date hereof until such time as no Purchaser holds any of the Warrants, 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 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 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 or at-the-market offering facility,
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) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 4.12 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction shall
be an Exempt Issuance.

 

    24

     

    

 

4.13 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.

 

4.14 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 4.4. 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 4.4, 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 4.4,
(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 4.4 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 4.4. 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.

 

4.15 Capital
Changes. Until the one (1) 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, unless a reverse split is required to maintain compliance with the minimum bid price requirements of the Trading
Market.

 

4.16 Exercise
Procedures. The form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants set forth the totality of the procedures required of the
Purchasers in order to exercise the Warrants. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required
of the Purchasers to exercise their Warrants. Without limiting the preceding sentences, 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 form be required
by the Company in order to exercise the Warrants. The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and shall deliver Warrant Shares
in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.

 

4.17 Form
D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Warrants and Warrant Shares 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 Warrants and Warrant
Shares 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.

 

    25

     

    

 

4.18 Registration
Statement. As soon as practicable (and in any event within 45 calendar days of the Closing Date), the Company shall file a
registration statement on Form S-1 (or such other form as the Company is then eligible to use for such purpose) providing for the
resale by the Purchasers of the Warrant Shares issued and issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The Company shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective within 181 days following the Closing Date and to keep
such registration statement effective at all times until no Purchaser owns any Warrants or Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise
thereof.

 

4.19 Lock-Up.
The Company shall not amend, modify, waive or terminate any provision of any of the Lock-Up Agreements except to extend the term
of the lock-up period and shall enforce the provisions of each Lock-Up Agreement in accordance with its terms. If any officer or
director that is a party to a Lock-Up Agreement breaches any provision of a Lock-Up Agreement, the Company shall promptly use its
best efforts to seek specific performance of the terms of such Lock-Up Agreement.

 

4.20 Sales
During Pre-Settlement Period. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time on or after the time of execution
of this Agreement by the Company and an applicable Purchaser, through, and including the time immediately prior to the Closing
(the “Pre-Settlement Period”), such Purchaser sells to any Person all, or any portion, of any shares of Common Stock
to be issued hereunder to such Purchaser at the Closing (collectively, the “Pre-Settlement Shares”), such Purchaser
shall, automatically hereunder (without any additional required actions by such Purchaser or the Company), be deemed to be unconditionally
bound to purchase, and the Company shall be deemed unconditionally bound to sell, such Pre-Settlement Shares to such Purchaser
at the Closing; provided, that the Company shall not be required to deliver any Pre-Settlement Shares to such Purchaser prior to
the Company’s receipt of the purchase price of such Pre-Settlement Shares hereunder; and provided further that the Company
hereby acknowledges and agrees that the forgoing shall not constitute a representation or covenant by such Purchaser as to whether
or not during the Pre-Settlement Period such Purchaser shall sell any shares of Common Stock to any Person and that any such decision
to sell any shares of Common Stock by such Purchaser shall solely be made at the time such Purchaser elects to effect any such
sale, if any.

 

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 February 12, 2021; 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 the Placement Agent $5,000 for non-accountable expenses,
and up to $40,000 for the reasonable and accounted fees and expenses of its legal counsel. Except as expressly set forth in the
Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and 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 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, the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement,
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.

 

    26

     

    

 

5.4 Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and
shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of: (a) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered
via facsimile at the facsimile number or email attachment at the email address as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto
at or prior to 4:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the time of transmission, if such

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.

 

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 Shares based on the
initial Subscription Amounts hereunder (or prior to the Closing, the Company and each Purchaser) 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.

 

5.6 Headings.
The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect
any of the provisions hereof.

 

5.7 Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted
assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of
each Purchaser (other 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 and the representations and warranties of the Purchasers in Section 3.2. 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 4.8, this Section 5.8 and/or
the Placement Agency Agreement.

 

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 4.8, 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.

 

    27

     

    

 

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 an exercise of a Warrant, the applicable Purchaser shall be required to return any shares of Common Stock subject to any such
rescinded 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
and provide such indemnity as may be required and determined under the Company’s policy as set by the Board of Directors.

 

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.

 

    28

     

    

 

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 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 Loeb. Loeb 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.

 

5.18 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.

 

5.19 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.

 

5.20 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.

 

5.21 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.

Mr. Lei Cao

Chairman & Chief Executive Officer

Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd.

1044 Northern Boulevard

Suite 305

Roslyn, NY 11576

 

Dear Mr. Cao:

 

This letter (the “Agreement”)
constitutes the agreement between Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”) the “Lead Manager”) and Sino-Global
Shipping America, Ltd. (the “Company”), that Maxim shall serve as (i) sole lead/exclusive placement agent for
the Company, on a “reasonable best efforts” basis (“Direct Placement”) or (ii) sole lead book running
manager for the Company, on a firm commitment basis (“Underwritten Placement”) and collectively with a Direct
Placement (a “Placement”), in connection with the proposed offering of registered securities (the “Securities”)
of the Company, including shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”).
The terms of such Placement and the Securities shall be mutually agreed upon by the Company, the Lead Manager and, if a Direct
Placement, the purchasers (each, a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”) and nothing
herein constitutes that the Lead Manager would have the power or authority to bind the Company or any Purchaser or an obligation
for the Company to issue any Securities or complete the Placement. This Agreement and the documents executed and delivered by the
Company and the Purchasers in connection with the Placement shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction
Documents.” The date of the closing of the Placement shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”
The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Lead Manager’s obligations hereunder are on a reasonable best efforts
basis only and that the execution of this Agreement does not constitute a commitment by Maxim to purchase the Securities and does
not ensure the successful placement of the Securities or any portion thereof or the success of Maxim with respect to securing any
other financing on behalf of the Company. It is further understood and agreed that during the Engagement Period, the Company and
Maxim may mutually determine that instead of proceeding with the proposed offering, the Company may alternatively proceed with
a different offering of its equity, convertible or debt securities (“Alternative Transaction”). In such an event,
Maxim’s exclusivity enumerated in the Agreement shall still apply.

 

In the event that a
Placement is an Underwritten Placement, prior to the commencement of the Underwritten Placement, the Company shall negotiate the
terms of an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") with the Lead Manager containing such terms,
covenants, conditions, representations, warranties, and providing for the delivery of legal opinions, comfort letters and officers’
certificates, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Lead Manager and its counsel and the Company.

 

In the event that a
Placement is a Direct Placement, the sale of Securities to any Purchaser will be evidenced by a purchase agreement (“Purchase
Agreement”) between the Company and such Purchaser, if required by the Purchaser, in a form reasonably satisfactory to
the Company and the Lead Manager. Prior to the signing of any Purchase Agreement, officers of the Company with responsibility for
financial affairs will be available to answer inquiries from prospective Purchasers.

In furtherance of the
Company’s agreement that Maxim’s retention hereunder shall be exclusive, during the term of this Agreement, neither
the Company nor any of its officers, directors, employees, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents or representatives (“Representatives”)
will, directly or indirectly, solicit or otherwise encourage the submission of any proposal or offer (“Investment Proposal”)
from any person or entity relating to any issuance of the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’ equity or equity-linked
securities (including warrants and debt securities with any equity feature) or participate in any discussions regarding an Investment
Proposal. The term “Investment Proposal” shall not include (i) any investment in the equity securities of any other
entity, and (ii) any transaction or agreement with one or more persons, firms or entities designated as a “strategic partner”
of the Company, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, provided that each such person, firm or entity
is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company in a business synergistic with the business of the Company and in
which the Company receives benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company
is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to one or more persons or entities whose primary business
is investing in securities. The Company will immediately cease all contacts, discussions and negotiations with third parties regarding
any Investment Proposal and, during the term, will promptly inform Maxim of any unsolicited Investment Proposals received by the
Company or its Representatives.

 

Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, in the event that the Lead Manager determines that any of the terms provided for hereunder shall not comply
with a FINRA rule, including but not limited to FINRA Rule 5110, then the Company shall agree to amend this Agreement in writing
upon the request of the Lead Manager to comply with any such rules; provided that any such amendments shall not provide for terms
that are less favorable to the Company.

 

SECTION 1.Compensation and
Other Fees.

 

As compensation for
the services provided by the Lead Manager hereunder, the Company agrees to pay to the Lead Manager:

 

(A) The
fees set forth below with respect to the Placement:

 

A cash fee payable immediately
upon the closing of the Placement equal to seven percent (7.0%) of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the Placement including
any over-allotment subscription (the “Cash Fee”). The Lead Manager’s Fees shall be paid at the closing
of the Placement (the “Closing”).

 

(B) Subject
to compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(D), the
Company agrees to reimburse Maxim (a) $5,000 for non-accountable expenses; (b) up to $40,000 for the reasonable and accounted fees
and expenses of legal counsel.

SECTION 2.REGISTRATION STATEMENT.

 

(A) The
Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, Maxim that: (A) the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), for the registration under the Securities Act of the Securities. At the time of such filing, the Company met the
requirements of Form S-3 under the Securities Act. Such registration statement meets the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(x)
under the Securities Act and complies with said Rule. The Company will file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the
Securities Act, and the rules and regulations (the “Rules and Regulations”) of the Commission promulgated thereunder,
a supplement to the form of prospectus included in such registration statement relating to the placement of the Securities and
the plan of distribution thereof and has advised Maxim of all further information (financial and other) with respect to the Company
required to be set forth therein. Such registration statement, including the exhibits thereto, as amended at the date of this Agreement,
is hereinafter called the “Registration Statement”; such prospectus in the form in which it appears in the Registration
Statement is hereinafter called the “Base Prospectus”; and the supplemented form of prospectus, in the form
in which it will be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (including the Base Prospectus as so supplemented) is hereinafter
called the “Prospectus Supplement.” Any reference in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, the Base
Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein
(the “Incorporated Documents”) pursuant to Item 16 of Form S-3 which were filed under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on or before the date of this Agreement, or the issue date of the Base
Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement, as the case may be; and any reference in this Agreement to the terms “amend,”
“amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus
Supplement shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act after the date of this Agreement,
or the issue date of the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement, as the case may be, deemed to be incorporated therein by
reference. All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is “contained,”
“included,” “described,” “referenced,” “set forth” or “stated” in the
Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement (and all other references of like import) shall be deemed
to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which is or is deemed to be incorporated
by reference in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement, as the case may be. No stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the use of the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement has been
issued, and no proceeding for any such purpose is pending or has been initiated or, to the Company's knowledge, is threatened by
the Commission. For purposes of this Agreement, “free writing prospectus” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under
the Securities Act and the “Time of Sale Prospectus” means the preliminary prospectus, if any, together with
the free writing prospectuses, if any, used in connection with the Placement, including any documents incorporated by reference
therein.

(B) The
Registration Statement (and any further documents to be filed with the Commission) will contain all exhibits and schedules as required
by the Securities Act. Each of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, at the time it becomes effective,
complied in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations and did
not and, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The Base Prospectus,
the Time of Sale Prospectus, if any, and the Prospectus Supplement, each as of its respective date, will comply in all material
respects with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations. Each of the Base Prospectus, the
Time of Sale Prospectus, if any, and the Prospectus Supplement, as amended or supplemented, will not contain as of the date thereof
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Incorporated Documents, when they were filed with the
Commission, conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations,
and none of such documents, when they were filed with the Commission, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted
to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (with respect to Incorporated Documents incorporated by reference
in the Base Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement), in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading; and
any further documents so filed and incorporated by reference in the Base Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, if any, or Prospectus
Supplement, when such documents are filed with the Commission, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the
Exchange Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations, as applicable, and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading. No post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement reflecting any facts or events arising after the
date thereof which represent, individually or in the aggregate, a fundamental change in the information set forth therein is required
to be filed with the Commission. There are no documents required to be filed with the Commission in connection with the transaction
contemplated hereby that (x) have not been filed as required pursuant to the Securities Act or (y) will not be filed within the
requisite time period. There are no contracts or other documents required to be described in the Base Prospectus, the Time of Sale
Prospectus, if any, or Prospectus Supplement, or to be filed as exhibits or schedules to the Registration Statement, which have
not been described or filed as required.

 

(C) The
Company is eligible to use free writing prospectuses in connection with the Placement pursuant to Rules 164 and 433 under the Securities
Act. Any free writing prospectus that the Company is required to file pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act has been,
or will be, filed with the Commission in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations
of the Commission thereunder. Each free writing prospectus that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule
433(d) under the Securities Act or that was prepared by or behalf of or used by the Company complies or will comply in all material
respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. The
Company will not, without the prior consent of the Lead Manager, prepare, use or refer to, any free writing prospectus.

 

(D) The
Company has delivered, or will as promptly as practicable deliver, to the Lead Manager complete conformed copies of the Registration
Statement and of each consent and certificate of experts, as applicable, filed as a part thereof, and conformed copies of the Registration
Statement (without exhibits), the Base Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, if any, and the Prospectus Supplement, as amended
or supplemented, in such quantities and at such places as the Lead Manager reasonably requests. Neither the Company nor any of
its directors and officers has distributed and none of them will distribute, prior to the Closing Date, any offering material in
connection with the offering and sale of the Securities other than the Base Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, if any, the
Prospectus Supplement, the Registration Statement, copies of the documents incorporated by reference therein and any other materials
permitted by the Securities Act.

 

(E) Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Underwriting Agreement shall contain customary representations and warranties of
the Company and shall further provide that: (i) the Company, the Company’s management, directors and officers of 3.0% or
more of the outstanding Securities as of the effective date of the Registration Statement (and all holders of securities exercisable
for or convertible into Securities) shall enter into customary “lock-up” agreements in favor of Maxim pursuant to which
such persons and entities shall agree, for a period of ninety (90) days after the offering is completed, that they shall neither
offer, issue, sell, contract to sell, encumber, grant any option for the sale of or otherwise dispose of any securities of the
Company without Maxim’s prior written consent.

SECTION 3.REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES. The Company makes to the Lead Manager all of the representations and warranties which the Company makes
to the Purchasers in the Securities Purchase Agreement, and in addition makes the following two representations:

 

(a) Approvals.
As of the date of this Agreement and provided the Shares do not exceed 20.0% of the outstanding shares on the Closing Date, except
for the filings with the Nasdaq or other US applicable national exchange for the listing of the Shares for trading thereon in the
time and manner required thereby, the issuance and listing on the Nasdaq or other US applicable national exchange of the Shares
requires no further approvals, including but not limited to, the approval of shareholders.

 

(b) FINRA
Affiliations. There are no affiliations with any FINRA member firm among the Company’s officers, directors or, to the
knowledge of the Company, any five percent (5.0%) or greater stockholder of the Company, except as set forth in the Base Prospectus.

 

SECTION 4.INDEMNIFICATION.
The Company agrees to the indemnification and other agreements set forth in the Indemnification Provisions (the “Indemnification”)
attached hereto as Addendum A, the provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference and shall survive the termination or
expiration of this Agreement.

 

SECTION 5.ENGAGEMENT
TERM. The Lead Manager’s engagement hereunder shall become effective on the date hereof and shall continue until the
later of (i) the final closing date of the Placement, (ii) June 30, 2021 (such date, the “Termination Date”).
If the Company elects to terminate for any reason even though the Lead Manager was prepared to proceed with the Placement, and,
if within twelve (12) months following such termination, the Company completes any financing of equity, equity-linked or debt or
other capital raising activity of the Company (other than the exercise by any person or entity of any options, warrants or other
convertible securities) with any of the investors introduced by the Lead Manager to the Company during the term of this Agreement,
then the Company will pay to the Lead Manager upon the closing of such financing the compensation set forth in Section 1 herein.
If the Company reasonably anticipates that the Lead Manager may become entitled to payment as set forth in the preceding sentence,
the Company shall use its best efforts to notify the Lead Manager promptly of such possible payment. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, the provisions concerning confidentiality, indemnification, contribution and the Company’s
obligations to pay fees and reimburse expenses contained herein and the Company’s obligations contained in the Indemnification
Provisions will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement, irrespective of whether a closing occurs. All such fees
and reimbursements due shall be paid to the Lead Manager on or before the Termination Date (in the event such fees and reimbursements
are earned or owed as of the Termination Date) or upon the closing of the Placement or any applicable portion thereof (in the event
such fees are due pursuant to the terms of Section 1 hereof). Maxim agrees not to use any confidential information concerning the
Company provided to them by the Company for any purposes other than those contemplated under this Agreement.

SECTION 6.FUTURE
RIGHTS.Upon the Closing of a Placement, for a period of twelve (12) months from the last closing of a Placement (the “Tail
Period”), if the Company decides to enter into a Placement using an underwriter or placement agent in the U.S., the Company
grants Maxim the right of first refusal to act as lead managing underwriter and lead left book runner or minimally as a co-lead
manager and co-lead left book runner and/or co-lead left placement agent with at least 50.0% of the economics for any and all future
equity, equity-linked or debt (excluding commercial bank debt) offerings (each, a “Subsequent Offering”) undertaken
during the Tail Period by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. The Company shall provide Maxim with written notice of
its election to engage in a Subsequent Offering, which notice shall describe the proposed terms and conditions of such Subsequent
Offering. Maxim shall notify the Company within ten (10) days of its receipt of the written offer contemplated above as to whether
or not it agrees to accept such retention. If Maxim should decline such retention, the Company shall have no further obligation
to Maxim with respect to such other Subsequent Offering, except as otherwise provided for herein. Maxim acknowledges that if the
Company issues convertible notes to Company management without the use of an agent or underwriter, such transaction shall not be
deemed a Subsequent Offering.

 

SECTION 7.LEAD
MANAGER INFORMATION. The Company agrees that any information or advice rendered by the Lead Manager in connection with this
engagement is for the confidential use of the Company only in their evaluation of the Placement and, except as otherwise required
by law, the Company will not disclose or otherwise refer to the advice or information in any manner without such Lead Manager’s
prior written consent.

 

SECTION 8.NO
FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP. This Agreement does not create, and shall not be construed as creating rights enforceable by any person
or entity not a party hereto, except those entitled hereto by virtue of the Indemnification Provisions hereof. The Company acknowledges
and agrees that Maxim is and shall not be construed to be a fiduciary of the Company and Maxim shall have no duties or liabilities
to the equity holders or the creditors of the Company or any other person by virtue of this Agreement or the retention of the Lead
Manager hereunder, all of which are hereby expressly waived.

 

SECTION 9.CLOSING.
The obligations of the Lead Manager and the closing of the sale of the Securities hereunder are subject to the accuracy, when made
and on the Closing Date, of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company and its Subsidiaries contained herein,
to the accuracy of the statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries made in any certificates pursuant to the provisions hereof,
to the performance by the Company and its Subsidiaries of their obligations hereunder, and to each of the following additional
terms and conditions:

 

(A) No
stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose
shall have been initiated or threatened by the Commission, and any request for additional information on the part of the Commission
(to be included in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement or otherwise) shall have been complied
with to the reasonable satisfaction of each Lead Manager. Any filings required to be made by the Company in shall have been timely
filed with the Commission.

 

(B) The
Lead Manager shall not have discovered and disclosed to the Company on or prior to the Closing Date that the Registration Statement,
the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement or any amendment or supplement thereto contains an untrue statement of a fact
which, in the opinion of counsel for the Lead Manager, is material or omits to state any fact which, in the opinion of such counsel,
is material and is required to be stated therein or is necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

 

(C) All
corporate proceedings and other legal matters incident to the authorization, form, execution, delivery and validity of each of
this Agreement, the Securities, the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement and all other legal
matters relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be reasonably satisfactory in all material respects
to counsel for the Placement Agent, and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel all documents and information that they
may reasonably request to enable them to pass upon such matters.

(D) The
Lead Manager shall have received from outside counsel to the Company such counsel’s written opinion, addressed to the Lead
Manager and the Purchasers dated as of the Closing Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Manager, substantially
identical to that provided to the Purchasers.

 

(E) Neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) shall have sustained since the date of the latest audited financial statements included
or incorporated by reference in the Base Prospectus, any loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood, terrorist
act or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order or
decree, otherwise than as set forth in or contemplated by the Base Prospectus and (ii) since such date there shall not have been
any change in the capital stock or long-term debt of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any change, or any development involving
a prospective change, in or affecting the business, general affairs, management, financial position, stockholders’ equity,
results of operations or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries, otherwise than as set forth in or contemplated by the Base
Prospectus, the effect of which, in any such case described in clause (i) or (ii), is, in the judgment of the Lead Manager, so
material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms
and in the manner contemplated by the Base Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, if any, and the Prospectus Supplement.

 

(F) The
Common Stock is registered under the Exchange Act and, as of the Closing Date, the Shares shall be listed and admitted and authorized
for trading on the Nasdaq or other applicable US national exchange and satisfactory evidence of such action shall have been provided
to the Lead Manager. The Company shall have taken no action designed to, or likely to have the effect of terminating the registration
of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act or delisting or suspending from trading the Common Stock from the Nasdaq or other applicable
US national exchange, nor has the Company received any information suggesting that the Commission or the Nasdaq or other US applicable
national exchange is contemplating terminating such registration or listing.

 

(G) No
action shall have been taken and no statute, rule, regulation or order shall have been enacted, adopted or issued by any governmental
agency or body which would, as of the Closing Date, prevent the issuance or sale of the Securities or materially and adversely
affect or potentially and adversely affect the business or operations of the Company; and no injunction, restraining order or order
of any other nature by any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction shall have been issued as of the Closing Date which
would prevent the issuance or sale of the Securities or materially and adversely affect or potentially and adversely affect the
business or operations of the Company.

 

(H) The
Company shall have prepared and filed with the Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to the Placement, including
as an exhibit thereto this Agreement.

Company shall have entered into subscription agreements with each of the Purchasers and such agreements shall be in full force
and effect and shall contain representations and warranties of the Company as agreed between the Company and the Purchasers.

shall have raised no objection to the fairness and reasonableness of the terms and arrangements of this Agreement. In addition,
the Company shall, if requested by the Lead Manager, make or authorize
Lead Manager’s counsel to make on the Company’s behalf,
an Issuer Filing with the FINRA Corporate Financing Department pursuant to FINRA Rule 2710 with respect to the Registration Statement
and pay all filing fees required in connection therewith.

SECTION 10.GOVERNING
LAW. This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to
agreements made and to be performed entirely in such State. This Agreement may not be assigned by either party without the prior
written consent of the other party. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and their
respective successors and permitted assigns. Any right to trial by jury with respect to any dispute arising under this Agreement
or any transaction or conduct in connection herewith is waived. Any dispute arising under this Agreement may be brought into the
courts of the State of New York or into the Federal Court located in New York, New York and, by execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the Company hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction
of aforesaid courts. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served
in any such suit, action or proceeding by delivering a copy thereof via 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

Document, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorney’s
fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

 

SECTION 11.ENTIRE

and/or exercise of the Securities, as applicable. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when
taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by
each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event
that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or a “.pdf” format 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 signature page were an original thereof.

ADDENDUM A

 

INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS

 

In connection with
the engagement of Maxim by the Company pursuant to a placement agreement dated herein on page 1 of this Agreement, between the
Company and Maxim as it may be amended from time to time in writing (the “Agreement”), the Company hereby agrees
as follows:

 

		1.	To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify Maxim and each of its affiliates, stockholders,
directors, officers, employees and controlling persons (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) against all losses, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities, as the same
are incurred (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel), relating to or arising out of its activities hereunder or
pursuant to the Agreement, except, with regard to the Lead Manager, to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, expenses or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) are found in a final judgment (not subject to appeal) by a court of law to have resulted
primarily and directly from such Lead Manager’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in performing the services described
herein, as the case may be.

 

		2.	Promptly after receipt by the Lead Manager of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action
or proceeding with respect to which such Lead Manager is entitled to indemnity hereunder, such Lead Manager will notify the Company
in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action or proceeding, and the Company will assume the defense of such action
or proceeding and will employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Lead Manager and will pay the fees and expenses of such counsel.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, such Lead Manager will be entitled to employ counsel separate from counsel for the Company
and from any other party in such action if counsel for such Lead Manager reasonably determines that it would be inappropriate under
the applicable rules of professional responsibility for the same counsel to represent both the Company and such Lead Manager. In
such event, the reasonable fees and disbursements of no more than one such separate counsel will be paid by the Company. The Company
will have the exclusive right to settle the claim or proceeding provided that the Company will not settle any such claim, action
or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Lead Manager, which will not be unreasonably withheld.

 

		3.	The Company agrees to notify the Lead Manager promptly of the assertion against it or any other
person of any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding relating to a transaction contemplated by the Agreement.

 

		4.	If for any reason the foregoing indemnity is unavailable to Maxim or insufficient to hold Maxim
harmless, then the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by Maxim as a result of such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Company on the one
hand and Maxim on the other, but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and Maxim on the other, separately and
not jointly, that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. The
amounts paid or payable by a party in respect of losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include
any legal or other fees and expenses incurred in defending any litigation, proceeding or other action or claim. Notwithstanding
the provisions hereof, the Lead Manager’s share of the liability hereunder shall not be in excess of the amount of fees actually
received, or to be received, by such Lead Manager under the Agreement (excluding any amounts received as reimbursement of expenses
incurred by Maxim).

 

		5.	These Indemnification Provisions shall remain in full force and effect whether or not the transaction
contemplated by the Agreement is completed and shall survive the termination of the Agreement and shall be in addition to any liability
that the Company might otherwise have to any indemnified party under the Agreement or otherwise.
