Section 3.02
Exchange of Certificates.

 

(a)
Exchange Agent. On the Closing Date, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company
that shall be designated by Parent and is reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”), it being agreed
that Worldwide Stock Transfer, LLC is satisfactory to all parties, for the benefit of the holders of Company Common Stock, for exchange
in accordance with this Article 3, the Merger Consideration (such shares of Parent Capital Stock and Parent Common Stock Warrants,
together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto pursuant to Section 3.02(c), being hereinafter referred

Fund”, and together with the Exchange Fund, the “Securities Fund”). Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent

cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of Company Common Stock entitled to receive the Aggregate Merger

and the Company (the “Letter of Transmittal”), and shall specify: (i) that delivery shall be effected, and risk
of loss and title to the certificates evidencing such shares of Company Common Stock (the “Certificates”) shall
pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent or confirmation of cancellation of such Certificates from
the Company’s transfer agent; and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates pursuant to
the Letter of Transmittal. Within two (2) Business Days (but in no event prior to the Effective Time) after the surrender to the
Exchange Agent of all Certificates held by such holder for cancellation, together with the Required Consideration Deliverables, duly
completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Letter of Transmittal and such other documents
as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor,
and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver, the applicable Aggregate Merger Consideration in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3.01, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until surrendered as
contemplated by this Section 3.02, each Certificate entitled to receive the applicable Aggregate Merger Consideration in
accordance with Section 3.01 shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to
receive upon such surrender the applicable Aggregate Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive in accordance with
the provisions of Section 3.01.

 

    20

     

    

 

(c)
Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares of Parent Capital Stock. No dividends or other distributions declared or
made after the Effective Time with respect to the Parent Capital Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the
holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to any shares of Parent Capital Stock represented thereby until the holder of such
Certificate shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with Section 3.02(b). Subject to the effect of escheat, Tax or
other applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate, Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to the holder of (i) any shares
of Parent Capital Stock (ii) holder of Parent Common Stock Warrants (to the extent vested) issued in exchange therefor, without interest,
(i) promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with
a record date after the Effective Time and theretofore paid with respect to such shares of Parent Capital Stock or Parent Common Stock
Warrants (to the extent vested), and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions, with a
record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date occurring after surrender, payable with respect to such
shares of Parent Capital Stock or Parent Common Stock Warrants (to the extent vested).

 

(d)
No Further Rights in Company Common Stock. The applicable Aggregate Merger Consideration payable upon conversion of the
Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid and issued in full satisfaction of all rights
pertaining to such Company Common Stock.

 

(e)
Adjustments to Aggregate Merger Consideration. The Aggregate Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately
the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange
of shares or other like change with respect to Parent Capital Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.
Further, in the event that additional shares of Parent Common Stock, Parent Preferred Stock, Parent options or Parent warrants or other
equity-like securities are issued by Parent between the date hereof and the Closing (excluding shares of Parent Common Stock issued upon
(i) exercise of options and warrants of Parent outstanding on the date hereof, and (ii) conversion of Parent Series A Preferred Stock
outstanding on the date hereof) without the consent of the Company, Parent and the Company shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts
in good faith negotiate appropriate changes to the terms of this Agreement solely to amend and restate this Agreement to amend the definitions
of Parent Common Stock Purchase Price, Parent Preferred Stock Purchase Price, Huang Parent Preferred Stock Purchase Price, Escrow Amount
and Parent Common Stock Warrants to ensure that such terms shall be appropriately modified so that the Aggregate Merger Consideration
payable to the holders of Company Common Stock equals forty-nine percent (49%) of the Parent Capital Stock immediately following the Closing
as calculated on a fully-diluted basis, consistent with the methodology of the Share Calculation Spreadsheet.  In such case, for
purposes of calculating the Merger Consideration, the numbers as set forth in the Share Calculation Spreadsheet will be replaced with
the numbers of shares of Parent Common Stock, Parent Preferred Stock, Parent options or Parent warrants, or equity like securities, as
applicable, outstanding as of the Closing.

 

    21

     

    

 

(f) Termination of Securities
Fund. Any portion of the Securities Fund that remains undistributed to the former holders of Company Common Stock for six (6) months
after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any former holders of Company Common Stock who have not theretofore
complied with this Section 3.02 shall thereafter look only to Parent for the applicable Aggregate Merger Consideration. Any
portion of the Securities Fund remaining unclaimed by former holders of Company Common Stock as of a date which is immediately prior
to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any government entity shall, to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable Law, become the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, if an Effective Time Holder has not complied with the terms of this Agreement,
including but not limited to delivering the Required Consideration Deliverables to Parent, by one year from the Effective Time, the right
of such Effective Time Holder to receive the portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration into which such Effective Time Holder’s
shares of Company Common Stock were converted pursuant to Section 3.01(b)(i) shall terminate, and all such shares of such
Effective Time Holder shall be cancelled as of the Effective Time for no consideration.

 

(g)
No Liability. None of the Exchange Agent, Parent or the Surviving Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
Law, be liable to any former holder of Company Common Stock for any such Company Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect
thereto) or cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law in accordance with Section 3.02.

 

(h)
Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Company and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration
otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any former holder of Company Common Stock such amounts as it is required to deduct and
withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent
that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Company or Parent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes
of this Agreement as having been paid to the former holder of the Company Common Stock (or intended recipients of compensatory payments)
in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Company or Parent, as the case may be.

 

(i)
Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that
fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost,
stolen or destroyed Certificate, the applicable Aggregate Merger Consideration that such holder is otherwise entitled to receive pursuant
to, and in accordance with, the provisions of Section 3.01.

 

Section 3.03   Stock
Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further
registration of transfers of Company Common Stock thereafter on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the
holders of Certificates representing Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have
any rights with respect to such Company Common Stock, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by applicable Law. On or
after the Effective Time, any Certificates presented to the Exchange Agent or Parent for any reason shall be converted into the
applicable Aggregate Merger Consideration in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01.

 

    22

     

    

 

Section 3.04
Appraisal Rights.

 

(a)
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by stockholders of the Company who shall have neither voted in favor of the
Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal for such Company Common Stock in accordance
with Section 262 of the DGCL and otherwise complied with all of the provisions of the DGCL relevant to the exercise and perfection
of dissenters’ rights under Section 262 of the DGCL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted
into and become the right to receive, and such stockholders shall have no right to receive, their portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration.
At the Effective Time, all Dissenting Shares shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist and shall represent only those rights provided
under Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if after the Effective Time, any holder of Dissenting Shares fails to perfect or
effectively withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its rights to appraisal of such shares of Company Common Stock under Section 262
of the DGCL, such shares shall be treated as if they had been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective
Time, the right to receive their portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon surrender, in the manner
provided in Section 3.01(b), of the Certificate or Certificates that formerly evidenced such shares of Company Common Stock.

 

(b)
Prior to the Closing, the Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands or threatened demands for appraisal received
by the Company and any withdrawals of such demands, along with copies of all other documents or correspondence relating to any of the
foregoing and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the
DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), make
any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands

Section 7.10

the Company shall deliver the Financial Statements for inclusion by Parent in any required Parent SEC Reports in accordance with Regulation
S-X (the “Required Audited Financial Statements”).

 

Section 7.11
Tax Matters.

 

(a)
Parent and the Company intend that, for United States federal income Tax purposes, the Merger will qualify as a “reorganization”
within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations to which each of Parent and the Company are to be parties
under Section 368(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and this Agreement is intended to be, and is adopted as, a plan of reorganization
for purposes of Sections 354, 361 and 368 of the Code and within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g). Parent and the
Company hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g)
and 1.368-3(a). The Merger shall be reported by the parties hereto for all Tax purposes in accordance with the foregoing, unless otherwise
required by a Governmental Authority as a result of a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. Neither
the Parent, the Company, nor either of the Merger Subs shall take any action to make any election under Code Section 338, including elections
under Code Sections 338(g) or 338(h)(10), with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The parties hereto shall cooperate
with each other and their respective counsel to document and support the Tax treatment of the Merger as a “reorganization”
within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, including providing factual support letters.

 

(b) All transfer,
documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, excise, recording, registration value added and other such similar Taxes and fees
(including any penalties and interest) that become payable in connection with or by reason of the execution of this Agreement and
the Merger will be borne and paid 50% by the Company and 50% by the Parent. Parent will prepare and file any Tax Return or other
document with respect to such Taxes or fees.

 

    59

     

    

 

(c)
For all purposes under this Agreement, in the case of any Straddle Period, the following conventions shall apply for determining
the amount of Taxes attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date: (i) in the case of property Taxes and
other similar Taxes imposed on a periodic basis, the amount attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date
shall equal the Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in
the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire
Straddle Period; and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes (including income Taxes, sales Taxes, employment Taxes and withholding Taxes),
the amount attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined as if the Company filed a
separate Tax Return with respect to such Taxes for the portion of the Straddle Period ending as of the end of the day on the Closing Date
using a closing of the books methodology.

 

(d)
Any indemnity payments under this Agreement shall be treated as adjustments to the amount of Aggregate Merger Consideration.

 

Section 7.12
Waiver of Conflicts. Recognizing that Gibbons P.C. has acted as legal counsel to the Company prior to the Closing, and that
Gibbons P.C. may act as legal counsel to certain Key Company Stockholders after the Closing, each of Company, Parent and Merger Subs hereby
waives any conflicts that may arise in connection with Gibbons P.C. representing any of the Key Company Stockholders after the Closing
as such representation may relate to Company, Parent and Merger Subs or the transactions contemplated herein. In addition, all communications
involving attorney-client confidences between the Key Company Stockholders or the Company and Gibbons P.C., as the case may be, in the
course of, advising with respect to and/or, the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or
otherwise shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to the Key Company Stockholders (and not the Company).
Accordingly, the Company shall not have access to any communications between Gibbons P.C. and the Company or the Key Company Stockholders,
as applicable, or to the files of Gibbons P.C., whether or not the Closing shall have occurred. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (i) the Key Company Stockholders shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with
respect to such engagement, and no member of Company shall be a holder thereof, (ii) to the extent that files of Gibbons P.C. in respect
of such engagement constitute property of the client, only Key Company Stockholders shall hold such property rights and (iii) Gibbons
P.C. shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to the Company by reason of
any attorney-client relationship between Gibbons P.C. and Company or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute
arises between Company, Parent or Merger Subs, on the one hand, and a third party other than the Key Company Stockholders, on the other
hand, Parent, Merger Subs, and Company may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent the disclosure of any attorney-client communications
or files to such third party.

 

    60

     

    

 

Section 7.13 Section
205 Order. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to take all actions necessary to obtain the Section 205 Order as soon as
practicable after the execution of this Agreement.

 

Section 7.14
Note Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Parent has not obtained the Section
205 Order prior to the 205 End Date, Parent may, in its sole discretion, extend the 205 End Date by one or more consecutive one (1) month
period(s) by loaning the Company for each respective month of extension five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) pursuant to a Note (as
defined in, and in the form attached to, the Note Purchase Agreement) issued under the Note Purchase Agreement in connection with each
such extension one (1) month extension of the 205 End Date (the “205 End Date Extension Right”). In the event that
Parent exercises the 205 End Date Extension Right, Parent and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend and restate
the Note Purchase Agreement to permit the Company to issue to Parent one or more Notes for each five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000)
loaned to the Company pursuant to the 205 End Date Extension Right.

 

Section 7.15
Advances for Legal Expenses. From the date hereof, Parent will pay in advance upon demand to the Company any reasonably
anticipated or incurred expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) or damages awarded to a third party in a non-appealable
final judicial determination as a result of any Action initiated by stockholders of the Company, other than Key Company Stockholders,
against the Company, its officers and/or directors, as a result of, or related to, the Transaction, the matters set forth in Section 4.09
of the Company Disclosure Schedule and/or the Note Purchase Agreement (“Stockholder Action”). Parent agrees that any
such Stockholder Actions will not constitute a Company Material Adverse Effect, and will not be deemed a breach of the Company’s
representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.09 (absence of litigation) of this Agreement for purposes of indemnification
under Article 9 or for purposes of Section 8.02(a) of this Agreement.

If Parent is entitled to indemnification for Indemnifiable Damages in accordance with this Article 9, Parent shall instruct
the Exchange Agent to return a number of shares of Parent Series B Preferred Stock to Parent necessary to satisfy the Indemnifiable Damages,
and such amount of Indemnifiable Damages shall be in satisfaction of such Indemnifiable Damages to the extent of the aggregate amount
of the Share Indemnity Amount; provided, in the event that the Indemnifiable Damages exceed the Share Indemnity Amount, Huang shall remain
liable for such excess Indemnifiable Damages in accordance with the terms of this Article 9.

 

Section 9.02
Indemnification.

 

(a)
Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 9, Huang shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Parent and
its officers, directors, agents and employees (each of the foregoing being referred to individually as an “Indemnified Person”
and collectively as “Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, fees,
reductions in value, costs and expenses, including costs of investigation, re-engineering costs, costs of defense and settlement and reasonable
fees and expenses of lawyers, experts and other professionals (collectively, “Indemnifiable Damages”) directly or indirectly,
whether or not due to a third-party claim, arising out of, resulting from or in connection with:

 

(i)
any failure of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or the Company Disclosure Schedules (including
any exhibit or schedule of the Company Disclosure Schedules) to be true and correct as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date as
though such representation or warranty were made as of the Closing Date (except in the case of representations and warranties that by
their terms speak only as of a specific date or dates, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such date);

 

(ii)
any failure of any certification, representation or warranty made by the Company in any certificate delivered to Parent pursuant
to this Agreement to be true and correct as of the date such certificate is delivered to Parent;

 

(iii)  [Reserved];

 

(iv)
[Reserved];

 

    65

     

    

 

(v) fraud or intentional
misrepresentation by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the Transactions; and

 

(vi)
subsection (a) of the definition of “Indemnified Taxes”.

 

(b)
Each Effective Time Holder shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Persons from and against any and all Indemnifiable
Damages directly or indirectly, whether or not due to a third-party claim, arising out of, resulting from or in connection with (i) the
failure of such Effective Time Holder to have good and valid title to the shares of Company Common Stock (including, but not limited to,
under Section 4.03(a)) held by such Effective Time Holder, (ii) any breach, default, or non-fulfillment of any of the covenants
or agreements under Sections 6.01, 7.01, 7.03, 7.04, 7.05, 7.07, 7.08, 7.09
or 7.10 (including any exhibit to or schedule of the Company Disclosure Schedule referenced in such sections) required to be performed

be taken into account in determining the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages with respect to such breach, default or failure to be true

Section 9.03
Limitations on Indemnification.

 

(a)
If the Merger is consummated, claims against Huang under Section 9.02(a) or against the Effective Time Holders under
Section 9.02(b), as the case may be, shall be limited as follows:

 

(i)
Recovery from the Escrow Fund shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for the indemnity obligations under Section 9.02(a)(i)
or (ii) of this Agreement, except for claims arising out of, resulting from or in connection with any failure of any of the Fundamental
Representations to be true and correct.

 

(ii)
With respect to indemnity obligations under Section 9.02(b)(ii) (breaches of covenants):

 

(A) The
Effective Time Holders shall have liability for such breaches; provided however, the Effective Time Holders shall have no liability
for such breaches of covenants if Parent had actual knowledge of the covenant breach (or became aware of facts that, after
reasonable inquiry, Parent should have had actual knowledge of the covenant breach) and did not provide written notice to the
Holders’ Agent of such covenant breach, with reasonable detail, within five (5) Business Days after the date on which Parent
obtained such actual knowledge or should have obtained such knowledge, as the case may be.  If such written notice is timely
provided to the Holders’ Agent, the Effective Time Holders shall have a reasonable opportunity to cure such breach (if
susceptible to cure) which shall not exceed thirty (30) Business Days, and if the Effective Time Holders fail to cure such breach,
the Effective Time Holders shall remain liable for such breach. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and except as set
forth below in Section 9.03(a)(ii)(B), in no event shall the Effective Time Holders be liable for Indemnifiable Damages
resulting from Section 9.02(b)(ii) (breaches of covenants) in an amount greater than thirty-five percent (35%) of
the Aggregate Merger Consideration received by all Effective Time Holders, subject to Section 9.03(b) below;

 

    66

     

    

 

(B)
The limitation in Section 9.03(a)(ii)(A) above shall not apply with respect to breaches of Section 7.05
(exclusivity; solicitation), and accordingly, after Indemnified Persons have exhausted or made claims against the Effective Time Holders
upon all shares of Parent Series B Preferred Stock held in the Escrow Fund (after taking into account all other claims for indemnification
from the Escrow Fund made by Indemnified Persons), the Effective Time Holders shall be liable for the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages
resulting therefrom not to exceed one-hundred percent (100%) of the amount of the Aggregate Merger Consideration actually received by
the Effective Time Holders, subject to the terms of Section 9.03(b).

 

(iii)   
Huang shall be liable for the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages with respect to claims arising out of, resulting from or in connection
with any Fundamental Representations or a claim under Section 9.02(a)(vi) (taxes) (collectively, “Fundamental Claims”),
or under Section 9.02(b)(i) (good title), after Indemnified Persons have exhausted or made claims against Huang upon all shares
of Parent Series B Preferred Stock held in the Escrow Fund (after taking into account all other claims for indemnification from the Escrow
Fund made by Indemnified Persons). The Effective Time Holders other than Huang shall be liable for claims under Section 9.02(b)(i)
(good title) for the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages resulting therefrom up to the amount of the Aggregate Merger Consideration actually
received by such Effective Time Holders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the liability of an Effective Time Holder shall
not be limited in connection with any claims arising out of, resulting from or in connection with any fraud or intentional misrepresentation
in connection with the Transactions by such Effective Time Holder.

 

(b)
If the Merger is consummated, and subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 9, each Effective Time Holder
shall be liable for such holder’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages resulting therefrom; provided that such
liability shall be limited to such holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Merger Consideration; and provided, further, that any
claims with respect to any failure of an Effective Time Holder to have good and valid title to the shares of Company Common Stock (including,
but not limited to, under Section 4.03(a)) held by such Effective Time Holder shall be made directly against such Effective
Time Holder, and such Effective Time Holder shall be liable for any such claim only up to the amount of the Aggregate Merger Consideration
actually received by such Effective Time Holder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the liability of an Effective Time Holder
shall not be limited in connection with any claims arising out of, resulting from or in connection with any fraud or intentional misrepresentation
in connection with the Transactions by such Effective Time Holder.

 

(c) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, no Indemnified Person may make a claim for indemnification that is made pursuant to Sections 9.02(a)(i) or (ii)
(and that does not involve fraud or intentional misrepresentation by or on behalf of the Company or any inaccuracy or breach of any
of the Fundamental Representations), unless and until an Officer’s Certificate describing Indemnifiable Damages in an
aggregate amount greater than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) (the “Basket”) has been delivered, in
which case the Indemnified Person may only make claims for indemnification for Indemnifiable Damages in excess of the amount of the
Basket.

 

    67

     

    

 

(d)
The Effective Time Holders shall not make any claim for contribution from the Company or any of its officers, directors, managers
or employees with respect to any indemnity claims arising under or in connection with this Agreement, any Transaction Documents or the
Transactions to the extent that any Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder for such claim, and the Effective Time
Holders hereby waive any such right of contribution from the Company and any its officers, directors, or employees it has or may have
in the future.

 

Section 9.04
Period for Claims Against Escrow Fund. Except as set forth in this Section 9.04, the period during which claims
for Indemnifiable Damages may be made (the “Claims Period”) for Indemnifiable Damages arising out of, resulting from
or in connection with the matters listed in Section 9.02(a)(i) and (ii) (other than in connection with any inaccuracy
or breach of any of the Fundamental Representations) shall commence at the Closing and terminate the day after the date that is six (6)
months following the Closing Date (the “Escrow Period”). The Claims Period for Indemnifiable Damages arising out of,
resulting from or in connection with the matters listed in Section 9.02(b)(ii) (breaches of covenants) shall commence at the
Closing and terminate the day after the date that is two (2) years from the Closing. The Claims Period for Fundamental Claims shall commence
at the Closing and terminate on the date that is sixty (60) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for
such Fundamental Claim (the “Fundamental Claims Period”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, such portion
of the Escrow Fund at the conclusion of the Escrow Period as necessary to satisfy any unresolved or unsatisfied claims for Indemnifiable
Damages specified in any Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Holders’ Agent prior to expiration of the Escrow Period shall
remain in the Escrow Fund until such claims for Indemnifiable Damages have been resolved or satisfied. The remainder of the Escrow Fund,
if any, shall be issued to Huang promptly after the expiration of the Escrow Period. The availability of the Escrow Fund to indemnify
the Indemnified Persons will be determined without regard to any right to indemnification that the Effective Time Holders may have in
their capacity as an officer, director, employee or agent of the Company and the Effective Time Holders will not be entitled to any indemnification
from the Company or the Surviving Company for amounts paid for indemnification under this Article 9.

 

Section 9.05
Claims. On or before the last day of the Escrow Period, Parent may deliver to the Exchange Agent, and, following the expiration
of the Escrow Period, on or before the last day of the applicable Fundamental Claims Period, Parent may deliver to the Holders’
Agent, a certificate signed by any officer of Parent (an “Officer’s Certificate”):

 

(a)
stating that an Indemnified Person has incurred, suffered, paid, reserved or accrued, or reasonably anticipates that it may incur,
suffer, pay, reserve or accrue, Indemnifiable Damages;

 

    68

     

    

 

(b) stating the amount of such
Indemnifiable Damages (which, in the case of Indemnifiable Damages not yet incurred, suffered, paid, reserved or accrued, may be the
maximum amount reasonably anticipated by Parent to be incurred, suffered, paid, reserved, accrued or demanded by a third party); and

 

(c)
specifying in reasonable detail (based upon the information then possessed by Parent) the individual items of such Indemnifiable
Damages included in the amount so stated and the nature of the claim to which such Indemnifiable Damages are related.

 

The Officer’s Certificate (i) need only
specify such information to the knowledge of such officer of Parent as of the date thereof, (ii) shall not limit any of the rights or
remedies of any Indemnified Person with respect to the underlying facts and circumstances specifically set forth in such Officer’s
Certificate, and (iii) may be updated and amended from time to time by Parent by delivering an updated or amended Officer’s Certificate,
so long as the delivery of the original Officer’s Certificate is made within the applicable Claims Period and such update or amendment
relates to the underlying facts and circumstances specifically set forth in such original Officer’s Certificate; provided
that all claims for Indemnifiable Damages properly set forth in the original Officer’s Certificate or any update or amendment thereto
shall remain outstanding until such claims have been resolved or satisfied, notwithstanding the expiration of such Claims Period. No delay
in providing such Officer’s Certificate (or any update or amendment thereto after conducting discovery regarding the underlying
facts and circumstances set forth therein) within the applicable Claims Period shall affect an Indemnified Person’s rights hereunder.

 

Section 9.06
Resolution of Objections to Claims. If the Holders’ Agent objects in writing to any claim or claims by Parent made
in any Officer’s Certificate within 20 days of the receipt of such Officer’s Certificate, Parent and the Holders’ Agent
shall attempt in good faith for 45 days after Parent’s receipt of such written objection to resolve such objection. If Parent

and conditions of this Agreement.

 

Section 9.07
Holders’ Agent.

Agent” means the agent for and on behalf of the Effective Time Holders to (i) give and receive notices and
communications to or from Parent (on behalf of itself of any other Indemnified Person) relating to this Agreement or any of the
Transactions and other matters contemplated by this Agreement (except to the extent that this Agreement expressly contemplates that
any such notice or communication shall be given or received by such Effective Time Holders individually), (ii) authorize the
cancellation of the shares of Parent Common Stock in the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims asserted by Parent (on behalf of
itself or any other Indemnified Person, including by not objecting to such claims), (iii) object to such claims and resolve
such claims, (iv) consent or agree to, negotiate, enter into, or, if applicable, prosecute or defend, settlements and
compromises of, and comply with orders of courts with respect to, such claims, (v) provide any consents hereunder, including

necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Holders’ Agent for the accomplishment of the foregoing, in each case without
having to seek or obtain the consent of any Person under any circumstance. The Person serving as the Holders’ Agent may be
replaced from time to time by the holders of a majority in interest of the shares of Parent Common Stock then on deposit in the
Escrow Fund upon not less than 10 days’ prior written notice to Parent.

 

    69

     

    

 

(b)
The Holders’ Agent shall not be liable to any former holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any act done or omitted
hereunder as the Holders’ Agent while acting in good faith (and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall
be conclusive evidence of such good faith) and without gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Effective Time Holders shall severally
indemnify the Holders’ Agent and hold the Holders’ Agent harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without
gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Holders’ Agent and arising out of or in connection with the
acceptance or administration of his duties hereunder, including any out-of-pocket costs and expenses and legal fees and other legal costs
reasonably incurred by the Holders’ Agent.

 

(c)
Any notice or communication given or received by, and any decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time,
agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, the Holders’ Agent that is within the scope of the Holders’
Agent’s authority under Section 9.07(a) shall constitute a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action,
failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of all the Effective Time
Holders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Effective Time Holder, and each Indemnified Person shall be entitled
to rely upon any such notice, communication, decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent,
settlement, resolution or instruction as being a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated
period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, each and every such Effective Time Holder.

 

Section 9.08 Third-Party
Claims. In the event Parent becomes aware of a third-party claim that Parent believes may result in a claim for indemnification
pursuant to this Article 9 by or on behalf of an Indemnified Person, Parent shall have the right in its sole discretion
to conduct the defense of and to settle or resolve any such claim (and the costs and expenses incurred by Parent in connection with
any investigation, defense, settlement or resolution of such claim and the enforcement and protection of its rights under this
Agreement in respect thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, other professionals’ and experts’ fees and
court or arbitration costs) shall be included in the Indemnifiable Damages for which Parent may seek indemnification pursuant to a
claim made hereunder and such costs and expenses shall constitute Indemnifiable Damages subject to indemnification under Section 9.02
whether or not it is ultimately determined that the third-party claim itself is indemnifiable under Section 9.02). The
Holders’ Agent shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to the
third-party claim to the extent that receipt of such documents does not affect any privilege relating to any Indemnified Person and
subject to execution by the Holders’ Agent of Parent’s standard non-disclosure agreement to the extent that such
materials contain confidential or proprietary information. In the event of settlement or resolution by Parent of any claim that
gives rise to a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 9 by or on behalf of an Indemnified Person, the
existence and amount of Indemnifiable Damages relating to such matter shall be determinative and binding upon the Effective Time
Holders if the Holders’ Agent has consented to any such settlement or resolution, or if the Holders’ Agent unreasonably
withholds, conditions or delays giving such consent to such settlement or resolution (either, an “Indemnifiable
Settlement”); provided that such consent of the Holders’ Agent shall be deemed to have been given unless the
Holders’ Agent shall have objected within 15 days after a written request for such consent by Parent. Neither the
Holders’ Agent nor any Effective Time Holder shall have any power or authority to object under this Article 9 to
recovery by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person (against the Escrow Fund or otherwise) for any Indemnifiable Damages claimed with
respect to an Indemnifiable Settlement.

 

    70

     

    

 

Section 9.09
Exclusive Remedy.

 

(a)
From and after the Closing, the indemnification terms set forth in this Article 9 shall constitute the sole and exclusive
remedy of Parent and the Indemnified Persons for any and all Indemnifiable Damages or other claims relating to or arising from Sections 9.02(a)(i)
and (ii), and Parent hereby agrees that Parent (and no Indemnified Person) shall have any remedy or recourse with respect to any
of the foregoing other than as expressly set forth in this Article 9 (and subject to the limitations and terms set forth in
this Article 9).

 

(b)
For the avoidance of any doubt, nothing herein shall prevent the Effective Time Holders to pursue any and all legal remedies related
to the Parent SEC Reports under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including
based on any untrue statements of a material fact in any Parent SEC Reports, or omissions of material facts required to be stated therein
or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(c) by either Parent or
the Company if any Governmental Authority in the United States shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any

breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Parent and Merger Subs set forth in this Agreement, or

cured within thirty (30) days after notice of such breach is provided by the Company to Parent.

not performed in accordance with the terms hereof, and, accordingly, that the parties hereto shall, to the fullest extent permitted by
Law, be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the

of which ownership of record or the power to vote (including, without limitation, by proxy or power of attorney) is hereafter acquired

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the foregoing and the mutual agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree
as follows:

 

    C-1

     

    

 

ARTICLE
I

Securityholder SUPPORT AGREEMENT; COVENANTS

 

Section 1.1
Binding Effect of Merger Agreement. Each Securityholder Party hereby acknowledges that it has read the Merger Agreement and this
Agreement and has had the opportunity to consult with its tax and legal advisors. Each Securityholder Party understands, agrees and acknowledges
that such Securityholder Party is bound by Article 3 (Conversion of Securities; Exchange of Certificates), Section 7.04 (Access
to Information; Confidentiality) Section 7.05 (Exclusivity; Solicitation), Section 7.09 (Public Announcements), Article
9 (Indemnification), Section 11.03 (Entire Agreement; Assignment) of the Merger Agreement (and any relevant definitions
contained in any such Sections) as if (a) such Securityholder Party was an original signatory to the Merger Agreement with respect to
such provisions, and (b) each reference to the “Company” contained in such sections of the Merger Agreement also referred
to each such Securityholder Party, mutatis mutandis. For the avoidance of doubt, the covenants set forth in this Article I, as
applicable, apply solely to the Securityholder Party itself, himself or herself, and not with respect to any other Securityholder Party.

 

Section 1.2
No Transfer. During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the Expiration Time, each Securityholder shall not,
other than as may be necessary to consummate the Transactions or as may be required by a court order or other law, (i) sell, offer to
sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of or agree to transfer
or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file (or participate in the filing of) a registration statement with any Governmental Authority
(other than filings or disclosures related to the Merger Agreement and the Transaction) with respect to, any Subject Shares or any right,
title or interest therein (including, without limitation, (a) grant any proxy or power of attorney or enter into a voting agreement or
other arrangement with respect to the Subject Shares and (b) enter into, or deposit any Subject Shares into, a voting trust or taking
any other action which would, or could reasonably be expected to, result in a diminution of the voting power represented by any of such
Securityholder’s Subject Shares), (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part,
any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Subject Shares (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, a “Transfer”)
or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii); provided, however, that (A)
in the case of an individual, such Securityholder may Transfer any Subject Shares (x) by gift to a member of the individual’s immediate
family or to a trust, the sole beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family or an affiliate of such person
or entity, or to a charitable organization, (y) by will, other testamentary document or virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon
death of the individual; or (z) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (B) in the case of an entity, such Securityholder may
Transfer any Subject Shares to any partner, member, or affiliate of Securityholder; and (C) each Securityholder may Transfer any Subject
Shares to the Company; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (A) and (B) these permitted transferees must enter into a
written agreement with the Company and Parent agreeing to be bound by and subject to the terms and provisions hereof to the same effect
as such transferring Securityholder in a form acceptable to Parent, and the Securityholder shall remain liable for the failure of any
transferee to comply with this Agreement. Any transfer or attempted transfer of any Subject Shares in violation of any provision of this
Agreement shall be void ab initio and of no force or effect. The Securityholder hereby authorizes Parent to direct the Company to impose
stop orders to prevent the Transfer of any Subject Shares on the books of the Company in violation of this Agreement and the Company shall,
upon direction of Parent, impose a stop order to prevent such Transfer.

 

    C-2

     

    

 

Section 1.3
New Shares. In the event that, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending at the Expiration Time, (a) any shares
of capital stock of the Company are issued to a Securityholder Party after the date of this Agreement pursuant to any stock dividend,

or otherwise acquires beneficial ownership of any shares of capital stock of the Company or (c) a Securityholder Party acquires the right
to vote or share in the voting of any shares of capital stock of the Company (collectively the “New Securities”), then
such New Securities acquired, purchased, otherwise held by such Securityholder, or with respect to which such Securityholder Party acquires
the right to vote or a share in the voting thereof, shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted
the Subject Shares owned by such Securityholder Party as of the date hereof.

 

Section 1.4
Securityholder Agreements. Hereafter until the Expiration Time, each Securityholder hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees
that, in its capacity of a Securityholder of the Company, at any meeting of the Securityholders of the Company (or any adjournment or
postponement thereof), and in any action by written consent of the Securityholders of the Company relating to the Transactions, such Securityholder
shall, if a meeting is held, appear at the meeting, in person or by proxy, or otherwise cause its Subject Shares to be counted as present
thereat for purposes of establishing a quorum, and such Securityholder shall vote or provide consent (or cause to be voted or consented),
in person or by proxy, all of its Subject Shares:

 

(a)
to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and the Transactions;

 

(b)
to authorize and approve the Transactions;

 

(c)
in any other circumstances upon which a consent or other approval is required under the Company’s organizational documents or otherwise
sought with respect to the Merger Agreement or the Transactions, to vote, consent or approve (or cause to be voted, consented or approved)
all of such Securityholder’s Subject Shares held at such time in favor thereof;

 

(d)
against and to withhold consent with respect to any merger, purchase of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or other
business combination transaction (other than the Merger Agreement and the Transactions); and

 

(e)
against any proposal, action or agreement that, to the knowledge of the Securityholder, would reasonably be expected to (A) materially
impede, frustrate, prevent or nullify any provision of this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the Transactions, (B) result in a material
breach in any respect of any covenant, representation, warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Merger Agreement
or (C) result in any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII of the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled.

 

    C-3

     

    

 

Each Securityholder has executed
and delivered to the Company a written consent approving and adopting the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, with such consent becoming
effective immediately following the execution of the Merger Agreement by each of the constituent corporations to the Merger, all in accordance
with Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

Each Securityholder hereby
covenants and agrees to (A) give any notices, consents or waivers (including, without limitation, waivers of preemptive rights, rights
of first refusal, co-sale rights and stock option or restricted stock vesting rights) that are required for the consummation of the Transactions
in accordance with their respective terms under the terms of any agreement to which the Securityholder is a party or pursuant to any rights
the Securityholder may have, including any consents or waivers required to satisfy any conditions under the Merger Agreement, and (B)
execute and deliver any additional documents, certificates or other instruments and to do and perform such other acts and things as may
be necessary or advisable, as determined by Parent and the Company, to consummate the Transactions. Each Securityholder agrees not to
revoke or attempt to revoke or otherwise render invalid such consent. Each Securityholder hereby irrevocably appoints the Chief Executive
Officer of Parent as such Securityholder’s proxy and attorney-in-fact in the event such Securityholder attempts to vote or provide
consent or take any other action in violation of or inconsistent with its obligations under this Agreement. Each Securityholder acknowledges
and agrees that such proxy is coupled with an interest sufficient at law to create an irrevocable power and shall continue until the Expiration
Time.

 

Each Securityholder has executed
and delivered to the Company a written consent approving and adopting the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, with such consent becoming
effective immediately following the execution of the Merger Agreement by each of the constituent corporations to the Merger, all in accordance

Each Securityholder hereby
covenants and agrees to (A) give any notices, consents or waivers (including, without limitation, waivers of preemptive rights, rights
of first refusal, co-sale rights and stock option or restricted stock vesting rights) that are required for the consummation of the Transactions
in accordance with their respective terms under the terms of any agreement to which the Securityholder is a party or pursuant to any rights
the Securityholder may have, including any consents or waivers required to satisfy any conditions under the Merger Agreement, and (B)
execute and deliver any additional documents, certificates or other instruments and to do and perform such other acts and things as may

consent or take any other action in violation of or inconsistent with its obligations under this Agreement. Each Securityholder acknowledges
and agrees that such proxy is coupled with an interest sufficient at law to create an irrevocable power and shall continue until the Expiration
Time.

 

    C-4

to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against

immediately prior to such conversion.

 

7.2
Procedures for Conversion; Effect of Conversion

 

(a)    
Procedures for Holder Conversion. In order to effectuate a conversion of Shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
pursuant to Section 7.1, a Holder shall (i) submit a written election to the Corporation that such Holder elects to convert Shares
specifying the number of Shares elected to be converted and (ii) surrender to the Corporation, along with such written election, the certificate
or certificates, if any, representing the Shares being converted, duly assigned or endorsed for transfer to the Corporation (or accompanied
by duly executed stock powers relating thereto) or, in the event such certificate or certificates are lost, stolen or destroyed, accompanied
by an affidavit of loss executed by the Holder and a bond or other indemnity in an amount sufficient to protect the Corporation against
any loss arising from the alleged loss, theft or destruction. The conversion of such Shares hereunder shall be deemed effective as of
the date of submission of such written election and surrender of such Series B Convertible Preferred Stock certificate or certificates,
if any, or delivery of such affidavit of loss and bond or indemnity, if applicable. Upon the receipt by the Corporation of a written election
and the surrender of such certificate(s) and accompanying materials (if any), the Corporation shall as promptly as practicable (but in
any event within five (5) days thereafter) deliver to the relevant Holder (A) the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder
shall be entitled upon conversion of the applicable Shares as calculated pursuant to Section 7.1 (including by certificates evidencing
such shares of Common Stock to the Holder at its address as set forth in the written election) and, if applicable (B) the number of Shares
of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock delivered to the Corporation but not elected to be converted pursuant to the written election,
in each case in book-entry form on the Corporation’s share ledger or by mailing certificates evidencing the shares to the address
specified for such Holder in the books and records of the Corporation (or at such other address as may be provided to the Corporation
in writing by such Holder). All shares of capital stock issued hereunder by the Corporation shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid
and non-assessable, free and clear of all taxes, liens, charges and encumbrances with respect to the issuance thereof.

 

    D-5

     

    

 

(b)    
Fractional Shares. The Corporation shall not issue any fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock and in the event that any conversion of the Shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock would result in the issuance
of a fractional share, the number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to such Holder shall be rounded up to the nearest whole
share of Common Stock.

 

(c)    
Effect of Conversion. All Shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock converted as provided in Section 7.1 shall
no longer be deemed outstanding as of the applicable Conversion Date and all rights with respect to such Shares shall immediately cease
and terminate as of such time, other than the right of the Holder to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor. The “Conversion
Date” means the date on which such Holder complies with the procedures in Section 7.2(a) (including the submission of
the written election to the Corporation of such Holder’s election to convert).

 

7.3
Limitation on Conversion Right.

 

(a)    
Conversion Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designation, no shares of Common
Stock will be issued or delivered upon any proposed conversion of any Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of any Holder thereof, and
no shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of any Holder thereof will be convertible, in each case to the extent, and only to the
extent, that such issuance, delivery, conversion or convertibility, taken together with the issuance of all shares of Common Stock pursuant
to the Merger Agreement, would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon conversion of the
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules and regulations the listing rules
of the Principal Market (the restrictions set forth in this sentence, the “Conversion Limitation”). For these purposes,
beneficial ownership and calculations of percentage ownership will be determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the Conversion Limitation shall not apply following the receipt of the Requisite
Stockholder Approval.

 

(b)    
Conversions Void. Any purported conversion (and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock) will be void ab initio and have no effect to the extent, but only to the extent, that such conversion and delivery
would result in the Corporation issuing shares of Common Stock in excess of the Conversion Limitation.

 

(c)    
Proceeds on Conversion. Except as otherwise provided herein, if any consideration otherwise due upon the proposed conversion
of any Shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to an optional conversion is not delivered as a result of the Conversion
Limitation, then the Corporation’s obligation to deliver such consideration will not be extinguished, and the Corporation will deliver
such consideration (and the relevant Shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be deemed converted) as soon as reasonably practicable
after the Holder provides written evidence satisfactory to the Corporation that such delivery will not contravene the Conversion Limitation.
A Holder will provide such evidence as soon as reasonably practicable after its beneficial ownership is such that additional shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock may be delivered without contravening the Conversion Limitation.
For the avoidance of doubt, until consideration due upon the conversion of any Shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is delivered,
such Shares shall be deemed not to have converted.

 

    D-6

     

    

 

7.4
Reservation of Stock. The Corporation shall at all times when any Shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding
reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of capital stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the conversion
of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Series
B Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 7, taking into account any adjustment to such number of shares so issuable
in accordance with Section 7.6 hereof. The Corporation shall take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all such
shares of Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any
securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock may be listed (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately
delivered by the Corporation upon each such issuance). The Corporation shall not close its books against the transfer of any of its capital
stock in any manner which would prevent the timely conversion of the Shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

7.5
No Charge or Payment. The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Shares of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7.1 shall be made without payment of additional consideration by, or other charge, cost or
tax to, the Holder in respect thereof.

 

7.6
Adjustment to Conversion Ratio and Number of Conversion Shares. In order to prevent dilution of the conversion rights granted
under this Section 7, the Conversion Ratio and the number of Conversion Shares issuable on conversion of the Shares of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 7.6.

 

(a)    
Subdivisions and Combinations. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided (whether by stock split, recapitalization
or otherwise) into a greater number of shares of Common Stock or combined (whether by consolidation, reverse stock split or otherwise)
into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock without a corresponding subdivision or combination of the Series B Preferred Stock, then
the Conversion Ratio in effect at the opening of business on the date following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes
effective shall be adjusted to equal the product of the Conversion Ratio in effect on such date and a fraction, the numerator of which
shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision or combination, and the denominator of
which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such subdivision or combination. Such adjustment shall
become effective retroactively to the close of business on the date upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective. Absent
a change in law, or a contrary determination (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code), the Corporation shall treat any adjustment to
the Conversion Ratio pursuant to this Section 7.6(a) as being made pursuant to a “bona fide, reasonable, adjustment formula”
within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.305-7(b) for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax and withholding
tax purposes, and shall not take any position inconsistent with such treatment.

 

    D-7

     

    

 

(b)    
Dividends or Distributions Payable in Common Stock. In case the Corporation shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution
on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock (in which case, for the avoidance of doubt, the Holders shall not participate), the
Conversion Ratio in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled
to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Ratio by a fraction the numerator of which
shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the record date fixed for such determination and
the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares outstanding at the close of business on the record date fixed for such
determination and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective retroactively
to a date immediately following the close of business on the record date for the determination of the Holders entitled to such dividends
and distributions. For the purposes of this Section 7.6(b), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall
not include shares held in the treasury of the Corporation. The Corporation will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares
of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Corporation. Absent a change in law, or a “determination” (as defined in Section
1313(a) of the Code), the Corporation shall treat any adjustment to the Conversion Ratio pursuant to this Section 7.6(b) (i) as
being made pursuant to a “bona fide, reasonable, adjustment formula” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.305-7(b),
and (ii) as providing for a “full adjustment” in the Conversion Ratio to reflect any dividends or distributions of Common
Stock described in this Section 7.6(b), in each case for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax and withholding
tax purposes, and shall not take any position inconsistent with such treatment.

 

(c)    
Adjustment for Reorganization Events. If there shall occur any reclassification, statutory exchange, reorganization, recapitalization,
consolidation or merger involving the Corporation with or into another Person in which a majority of the Common Stock (but not the Series
B Convertible Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (excluding a merger solely for the
purpose of changing the Corporation’s jurisdiction of incorporation) including a Change of Control (a “Reorganization Event”),
then, subject to Section 5, following any such Reorganization Event, each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall remain
outstanding and be convertible into the number, kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a Holder would
have received in such Reorganization Event had such Holder converted its Shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into the applicable
number of shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the effective date of the Reorganization Event using the Conversion Ratio applicable
immediately prior to the effective date of such Reorganization Event; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in
the application of the provisions in this Section 7.6 set forth with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the Holders,
to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 7.6 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments
of the Conversion Ratio) shall thereafter be applicable in relation to any shares of stock or other property thereafter deliverable upon
the conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. The Corporation (or any successor thereto)
shall, no less than twenty (20) Business Days prior to the occurrence of any Reorganization Event, provide written notice to the
Holders of such occurrence of such event and of the kind and amount of the cash, securities or other property that each Share of Series
B Convertible Preferred Stock will be convertible into under this Section 7.6(b). Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect
the operation of this Section 7.6(b). The Corporation shall not enter into any agreement for a transaction constituting a
Reorganization Event unless (i) such agreement provides for, or does not interfere with or prevent (as applicable), conversion of the
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in a manner that is consistent with and gives effect to this Section 7.6(b) and (ii) to
the extent that the Corporation is not the surviving corporation in such Reorganization Event or will be dissolved in connection with
such Reorganization Event, proper provision shall be made in the agreements governing such Reorganization Event for the conversion of
the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into stock of the Person surviving such Reorganization Event or such other continuing entity
in such Reorganization Event. Absent a change in law, or a “determination” (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code),
the Corporation shall treat any adjustment to the Conversion Ratio pursuant to this Section 7.6(b)
as being made pursuant to a “bona fide, reasonable, adjustment formula” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section
1.305-7(b) for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax and withholding tax purposes, and shall not take any position inconsistent
with such treatment.

 

    D-8

     

    

 

(d)    
Certificate as to Adjustment.

 

(i)    
As promptly as reasonably practicable following any adjustment of the Conversion Ratio, but in any event not later than thirty
(30) days thereafter, the Corporation shall furnish to each Holder at the address specified for such Holder in the books and records of
the Corporation (or at such other address as may be provided to the Corporation in writing by such Holder) a certificate of an executive
officer setting forth in reasonable detail such adjustment and the facts upon which it is based and certifying the calculation thereof.

 

(ii)
As promptly as reasonably practicable following the receipt by the Corporation of a written request by any Holder, but in any event
not later than thirty (30) days thereafter, the Corporation shall furnish to such Holder a certificate of an executive officer certifying
the Conversion Ratio then in effect and the number of Conversion Shares or the amount, if any, of other shares of stock, securities or
assets then issuable to such Holder upon conversion of the Shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock held by such Holder.

 

(e)    
Notices. In the event:

 

(i)   that the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable
upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or
other distribution, to vote at a meeting (or by written consent), to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital
stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security;

 

(ii)
of any capital reorganization of the Corporation, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Corporation, any consolidation
or merger of the Corporation with or into another Person, or sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets to another
Person; or

 

(iii)  of a Liquidation;

 

then,
and in each such case, unless the Corporation has previously publicly announced such information (including through filing such information
with the Securities and Exchange Commission), the Corporation shall send or cause to be sent to each at the address specified for such
Holder in the books and records of the Corporation (or at such other address as may be provided to the Corporation in writing by such
Holder) at least ten (10) days prior to the applicable record date or the applicable expected effective date, as the case may be, for
the event, a written notice specifying, as the case may be, (A) the record date for such dividend, distribution, meeting or consent or
other right or action, and a description of such dividend, distribution or other right or action to be taken at such meeting or by written
consent, or (B) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or Liquidation is proposed
to take place, and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the books of the Corporation shall close or a record shall be taken with
respect to which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion
of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock
or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or
Liquidation, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the Conversion
Shares.

 

    D-9

     

    

 

(f)
Non-Circumvention. For the avoidance of doubt, the adjustments provided in this Section 7.6 may not result in the
Holders exceeding the Conversion Limitation or the other limitations set forth in Section 7.3.

 

7.7
Automatic Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein and upon the receipt of the Requisite Stockholder
Approval (the “Mandatory Conversion Time”), all outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall automatically
be converted into shares of Common Stock, at the then effective conversion rate as calculated pursuant to this Section 7. All holders
of record of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be sent written notice of the Mandatory Conversion Time and the place
designated for mandatory conversion of all such shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 7.7. Such notice
need not be sent in advance of the occurrence of the Mandatory Conversion Time. Upon receipt of such notice, each holder of shares of
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in certificated form, if any, shall surrender his, her or its certificate or certificates for all
such shares (or, if such holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement
reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account
of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice. If so required
by the Corporation, any certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or instruments
of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized
in writing. All rights with respect to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock converted pursuant to this Section 7.7, including the
rights, if any, to receive notices and vote (other than as a holder of Common Stock), will terminate at the Mandatory Conversion Time
(notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender any certificates at or prior to such time), except only the
rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of any certificate or certificates of such holders (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement)
therefor, to receive the items provided for in the next sentence of this Section 7.7. As soon as practicable after the Mandatory Conversion
Time and, if applicable, the surrender of any certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) for Preferred
Stock, the Corporation shall (a) issue and deliver to such holder, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates (or make
an entry in book-entry form on the Corporation’s share ledger) for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable on such conversion
in accordance with the provisions hereof and (b) pay any declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock converted.

 

    D-10

     

    

 

8.
Reissuance of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. Shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock that have been
issued and reacquired by the Corporation in any manner, including shares purchased or redeemed or exchanged or converted, shall (upon
compliance with any applicable provisions of the laws of Delaware) have the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock
of the Corporation undesignated as to series and may be designated or re-designated and issued or reissued, as the case may be, as part
of any series of preferred stock of the Corporation.

 

9.
Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other
communications hereunder (other than any notices given to Holders as required by the General Corporation Law and are given in the manner
provided by the General Corporation Law) shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given: (a) when delivered by hand (with

a stockholder as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 9).

 

10.
Waiver. Any provision of this Certificate of Designation may be waived only by an instrument in writing executed
by the Corporation and the Holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, and any
such waiver will be binding upon the Corporation and each Holder.

REGISTRATIONS AND OFFERINGS

 

2.1
Shelf Registration.

 

2.1.1    
Filing. Within ninety (90) calendar days following the Closing Date, the Company shall submit to or file with the Commission a
Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form S-1 (the “Form S-1 Shelf”) or a Registration Statement
for a Shelf Registration on Form S-3 (the “Form S-3 Shelf”), if the Company is then eligible to use a Form S-3
Shelf, in each case, covering the resale of all the Registrable Securities (determined as of two (2) business days prior to such submission
or filing) on a delayed or continuous basis and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such Shelf declared effective as
soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (a) the one hundred fifth (105th) calendar day (or one
hundred thirty fifth (135th) calendar day if the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement)
following Closing and (b) the tenth (10th) business day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever
is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review
(such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, however, that if such Effectiveness Deadlines
falls on a Saturday, Sunday or other day that the Commission is closed for business, the Effectiveness Deadlines shall be extended to
the business day on which the Commission is open for business. Such Shelf shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included
therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. The Company
shall maintain a Shelf in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including
post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep a Shelf continuously effective, available for use to permit, subject
to Article V, the Holders named therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of
the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. In the event the Company files a Form S-1 Shelf,
the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form S-1 Shelf (and any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement)
to a Form S-3 Shelf as soon as practicable after the Company is eligible to use a Form S-3 Shelf. The Company’s obligation under
this Section 2.1.1, shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to Section 3.4.

 

2.1.2    
Subsequent Shelf Registration. If any Shelf ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable
Securities are still outstanding, the Company shall, subject to Section 3.4, use its commercially reasonable efforts to as
promptly as is reasonably practicable cause such Shelf to again become effective under the Securities Act (including using its commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf), and shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable amend such Shelf in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal
of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf or file an additional registration statement as a Shelf Registration (a “Subsequent
Shelf Registration Statement”) registering the resale of all Registrable Securities (determined as of two (2) business days
prior to such filing). If a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement is filed, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts
to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable
after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be an automatic shelf registration statement
(as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) if the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer at the time of filing (as
defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) at the most recent applicable eligibility determination date) and (ii) keep
such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, available for use to permit, subject to Article V, the Holders named
therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time
as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 to the extent
that the Company is eligible to use such form at the time of filing. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be
on another appropriate form. The Company’s obligation under this Section 2.1.2, shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject
to Section 3.4.

 

    E-6

     

    

 

2.1.3    
Additional Registrable Securities. Subject to Section 3.4, in the event that any Holder holds Registrable Securities that
are not registered for resale on a delayed or continuous basis, the Company, upon written request of such Holder, shall promptly use its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause, subject to Article V, the resale of such Registrable Securities to be covered by either, at
the Company’s option, any then available Shelf (including by means of a post-effective amendment) or by filing a Subsequent Shelf
Registration Statement and cause the same to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing and such Shelf or Subsequent Shelf
Registration Statement shall be subject to the terms hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall only be required
to cause such additional Registrable Securities to be so covered twice per calendar year for the Holders.

 

2.1.4    
Requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns. Subject to Section 3.4, at any time and from time to time when an effective Shelf
is on file with the Commission, a Holder (a Holder being in such case, a “Demanding Holder”) may request, subject
to Article V, to sell all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering that is registered pursuant to the
Shelf (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”); provided that the Company shall only be obligated to
effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if such offering shall include, subject to Article V, Registrable Securities proposed to be sold
by the Demanding Holder, either individually or together with other Demanding Holders, with a total offering price of at least $15.0 million
in the aggregate (the “Minimum Takedown Threshold”); provided that, with respect to all remaining Registrable
Securities held by the Demanding Holder no Minimum Takedown Threshold shall apply. All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall
be made by giving written notice to the Company, which shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold
in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Subject to Section 2.4.4, a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders shall have the
right to select the Underwriters for such offering (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks),
subject to the Company’s prior approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Holders may demand
not more than one (1) Underwritten Shelf Takedowns pursuant to this Section 2.1.4 within any six (6) month period. For the avoidance
of doubt, the Company shall not be required to effect an aggregate of more than two (2) Underwritten Shelf Takedowns pursuant to this
Section 2.1.4 in any twelve (12) month period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may
effect any Underwritten Offering pursuant to any then effective Registration Statement, including a Form S-3, that is then available for
such offering.

 

    E-7

     

    

 

2.1.5    
Reduction of Underwritten Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, in good faith,
advises the Company, the Demanding Holders and the Holders requesting piggy back rights pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such
Underwritten Shelf Takedown (the “Requesting Holders”) (if any) in writing that the percentage, relative to
the total outstanding Common Stock of the Company, of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if
any) desire to sell, taken together with all other Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell and all other
Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, that have been requested to be sold in such Underwritten Offering pursuant to separate
written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other stockholders, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number
of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing,
the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities,
as applicable (the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then the Company shall include, subject to Article V, in
such Underwritten Offering, before including any Common Stock or other equity securities proposed to be sold by Company or by other holders
of Common Stock or other equity securities, the Registrable Securities of (i) first, the Demanding Holders that can be sold without exceeding
the Maximum Number of Securities (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder has requested
be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that all of the Demanding Holders have
requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown) and (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not
been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable
Securities that each Requesting Holder (if any) has requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the aggregate number
of Registrable Securities that all of the Requesting Holders have requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown) that can
be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

 

2.1.6    
Withdrawal. Prior to the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing
such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall have
the right to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification (a “Withdrawal
Notice”) to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Underwritten
Shelf Takedown; provided that a Holder may elect to have the Company continue an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if the Minimum Takedown
Threshold would still be satisfied by the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown by the Holders
or any of their respective Permitted Transferees, as applicable. If withdrawn, a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall constitute
a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown by the withdrawing Demanding Holder for purposes of Section 2.1.4, unless such
Demanding Holder reimburses the Company for all Registration Expenses with respect to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown (or, if there is
more than one Demanding Holder, a pro rata portion of such Registration Expenses based on the respective number of Registrable Securities
that each Demanding Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown); provided that, if a Holder elects to
continue an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, such Underwritten Shelf Takedown
shall instead count as an Underwritten Shelf Takedown demanded by such Holder, as applicable, for purposes of Section 2.1.4.
Following the receipt of any Withdrawal Notice, the Company shall promptly forward such Withdrawal Notice to any other Holders that had
elected to participate in such Shelf Takedown. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible
for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Shelf Takedown prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.1.6,
other than if a Demanding Holder elects to pay such Registration Expenses pursuant to clause (ii) of the second sentence of this
Section 2.1.6.

2.3
Market Stand-off. In connection with any Underwritten Offering of equity securities of the Company (other than a Block Trade or
Other Coordinated Offering), if requested by the managing Underwriters, each Holder (and for which it is customary for such Holder to
agree to a lock-up), agrees that, to the extent such Holder participates in such Underwritten Offering, it shall not Transfer any Common
Stock or other equity securities of the Company (other than those included in such offering pursuant to this Agreement), without the prior
written consent of the Company, during the ninety (90)-day period (or such shorter time agreed to by the managing Underwriters) beginning
on the date of pricing of such offering, except as expressly permitted by such lock-up agreement or in the event the managing Underwriters
otherwise agree by written consent. Each such Holder agrees to execute a customary lock-up agreement in favor of the Underwriters to such
effect (in each case on substantially the same terms and conditions as all such Holders).

 

2.4
Block Trades; Other Coordinated Offerings.

 

2.4.1    
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article II, but subject to Section 3.4 and Article V, at any time and from time
to time when an effective Shelf is on file with the Commission, if a Demanding Holder wishes to engage in (a) an underwritten registered
offering not involving a “roadshow,” an offer commonly known as a “block trade” (a “Block Trade”),
or (b) an “at the market” or similar registered offering through a broker, sales agent or distribution agent, whether as agent
or principal (an “Other Coordinated Offering”), in each case, (x) with a total offering price of at least $20.0
million in the aggregate or (y) with respect to all remaining Registrable Securities held by the Demanding Holder, then such
Demanding Holder only needs to notify the Company of the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering at least five (5) business days prior
to the day such offering is to commence and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate such Block Trade or
Other Coordinated Offering; provided that the Demanding Holders representing a majority of the Registrable Securities wishing to
engage in the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work with the Company and any Underwriters,
brokers, sales agents or placement agents prior to making such request in order to facilitate preparation of the registration statement,
prospectus and other offering documentation related to the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering.

 

2.4.2    
Prior to the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used in connection with a Block Trade
or Other Coordinated Offering, a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering
shall have the right to submit a Withdrawal Notice to the Company, the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) and any brokers, sales agents
or placement agents (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Block
Trade or Other Coordinated Offering prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.4.2.

 

    E-9

     

    

 

2.4.3    
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Section 2.2 shall not apply to a Block Trade or Other Coordinated
Offering initiated by a Demanding Holder pursuant to this Agreement.

agents or placement agents (if any) for such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering (in each case, which shall consist of one or more
reputable nationally recognized investment banks).

A Demanding Holder in the aggregate may demand no more than (i) one (1) Block Trade pursuant to this Section 2.4 within any six
(6) month period or (ii) two (2) Block Trades or Other Coordinated Offerings pursuant to this Section 2.4 in any twelve (12) month
period. For the avoidance of doubt, any Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering effected pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall not
be counted as a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to Section 2.1.4 hereof.

    E-13

     

    

 

3.4
Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure; Restrictions on Registration Rights.

 

3.4.1    
Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that: (a) a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement; (b) any request
by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to any Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information or of the
occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such Prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the
purchasers of the securities covered by such Registration Statement or Prospectus, such Registration Statement or Prospectus will not
contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading; or (c) upon any suspension by the Company, pursuant to a written insider trading compliance program
adopted by the Board, of the ability of all “insiders” covered by such program to transact in the Company’s securities
because of the existence of material non-public information, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable
Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until (x) in the case of (a) or (b), it has received
copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement
or amendment as soon as reasonably practicable after the time of such notice), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the
use of the Prospectus may be resumed, or (y) in the case of (c), until the restriction on the ability of “insiders” to transact
in the Company’s securities is removed, and, if so directed by the Company, each such Holder will deliver to the Company all copies,
other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the most recent Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities
at the time of receipt of such notice.

 

3.4.2    
Subject to Section 3.4.4, if the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of
any Registration at any time would (a) require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, (b) require the inclusion in such
Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, or
(c) in the good faith judgment of the majority of the Board, such Registration be detrimental to the Company and the majority of
the Board concludes as a result that it is advisable to defer such filing, initial effectiveness or continued use at such time, the Company
may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders (which notice shall not specify the nature of the event giving rise
to such delay or suspension), delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest
period of time determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose. In the event the Company exercises its rights
under this Section 3.4.2, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their
use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities until such Holder

good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date that is one hundred and twenty (120) days after the effective date
of, a Company-initiated Registration and provided that the Company continues to actively employ, in good faith, all commercially reasonable
efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the applicable Shelf Registration, or (b) if, pursuant to Section 2.1.4, Holders
have requested an Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the Company and Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly

3.4.4

3.5
Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting
company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (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 Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act
and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings; provided that any documents publicly filed
or furnished with the Commission pursuant to the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”)
shall be deemed to have been furnished or delivered to the Holders pursuant to this Section 3.5. The Company further covenants
that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such
Holder to sell shares of Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions
provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule then in effect). Upon the request of any Holder, the
Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

 

3.6
Rule 144. With a view to make available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promogulated under the Securities Act, the Company
covenants that it will (a) make available at all times information necessary to comply with Rule 144, if such Rule is available with respect
to resales of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, and (b) take such further action as the Holders may reasonably request,
all to the extent required from time to time to enable them to sell all Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities
Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promogulated under the Securities Act (if available with respect to resales
of the Registrable Securities), as such rule may be amended from time to time. Upon request of any Holder, the Company will deliver to
such Holder a written statement as to whether the Company has complied with such information requirement, and, if not, the specific reasons
for non-compliance.

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

 

4.1
Indemnification.

 

4.1.1    
The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers, directors, managers,
directors, trustees, equityholders, beneficiaries, affiliates and agents and each person or entity who controls such Holder (within the
meaning of the Securities Act), against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable and documented outside attorneys’ fees or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defensing such
claim, loss, liability, damage or action) resulting from (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in or incorporated
by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any
omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any other similar federal or state securities law except
insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly
for use therein. The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each person or entity who controls such
Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification
of the Holder.

 

4.1.2    
In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish
(or cause to be furnished) to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection
with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (the “Holder Information”) and, to the extent permitted by
law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors, officers and agents and each person or entity who controls the Company (within the meaning
of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
and documented outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained or incorporated
by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any
omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
but only to the extent that such untrue statement is contained in (or not contained in, in the case of an omission) any information or
affidavit so furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the
obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each
such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale
of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters,
their officers, directors and each person or entity who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same
extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.

 

4.1.3    
Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with
respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s or entity’s
right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in
such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist
with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made
by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled
to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all
parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party
a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim.
No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement
which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms
of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party
or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party
of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

 

    E-16

     

    

 

4.1.4    
The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or
on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person or entity of such indemnified party and shall survive
the transfer of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such
provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such
Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

 

4.1.5    
If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless
an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying
party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result
of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault
of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the
indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including
any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not
made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by in the case of an omission), such indemnifying
party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information
and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this Section 4.1.5
shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount
paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the
limitations set forth in Sections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or out-of-pocket
expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would
not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any
other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 4.1.5.
No person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled
to contribution pursuant to this Section 4.1.5 from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

LOCK-UP

 

5.1
Lock-Up. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and subject to Section 5.2, each Holder agrees that
it shall not Transfer any Registrable Securities prior to the end of the Lock-up Period (the “Lock-up”); provided,
however, that, commencing on the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date and ending on the expiration of the Lock-up Period
(the “Restricted Trading Period”), each Holder may Transfer a number of shares of Common Stock up to such Holder’s
Pro Rata Share (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of the Daily Transfer Limit. For purposes of this Section 5.1, Schedule 1 sets forth
each Holder’s Pro Rata Share that should be applied to the Daily Transfer Limit to determine the permissible number of shares that
may be resold up to the Daily Transfer Limit. For purposes of clarity and to avoid ambiguity, the following is an illustrative example
of the calculation of the Daily Transfer Limit during the Restricted Trading Period. Example: Holder A has 200 shares representing 20%
of the total number of outstanding shares issued as merger consideration to all Holders. The Average Daily Volume for the preceding five
(5) Trading Days was 100,000. Therefore the applicable Daily Transfer Limit for such Holder would be 2,000 (i.e., for the Trading Day
in question during the Restricted Period, such Holder would be entitled to resell up to 2,000 shares).

 

5.2
Permitted Transferees. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in Section 5.1, each Holder may Transfer Registrable Securities
during the Lock-up Period (including, for the avoidance of doubt, a number of Registrable Securities in excess of the Daily Transfer Limit)
(a) to (i) the Company’s officers or directors, (ii) any affiliates or family members of the Company’s officers or directors,
or (iii) any direct or indirect partners, members or equity holders of such Holder, or any related investment funds or vehicles controlled
or managed by such persons or entities or their respective affiliates, (b) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of the individual’s
immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family or an affiliate of such
person or entity, or to a charitable organization, (c) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon
death of the individual, (d) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, (e) in the case of a trust,
by distribution to one or more of the permissible beneficiaries of such trust, (f) to the partners, members or equity holders of such
Holder by virtue of the Holder’s organizational documents, as amended, upon dissolution of the Holder, (g) to the Company, or (h)
in connection with a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization, tender offer approved by the Board or a duly authorized committee
thereof or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their Common
Stock for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the Closing Date. The parties acknowledge and agree that any Permitted Transferee
of a Holder shall (x) be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in this ARTICLE V with respect to the Registrable Securities
upon and after acquiring such Registrable Securities, and (y) execute a joinder to this Agreement in the form of Exhibit A attached
hereto.

Amendments and Modifications. Upon the written consent of (a) the Company and (b) the Holders of a majority of the total Registrable
Securities, compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived, or any of such

permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular
provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any
reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement
or affecting the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable
in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement
or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

    E-21

    F-1

     

    

 

(b)
Method of Exercise. While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 1(a) above, the Holder
may exercise this Warrant upon paying the Exercise Price by either:

 

(1)
wire transfer to the Company or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank made payable to the order of the Company, or

 

(2)
exercising of the right to credit the Exercise Price against the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of the Warrant Shares at
the time of exercise (the “Net Exercise”) pursuant to Section 1(c).

 

(c)
Net Exercise. If the Company shall receive written notice from the Holder at the time of exercise of this Warrant that the
Holder elects to Net Exercise the Warrant, the Company shall deliver to such Holder (without payment by the Holder of any exercise price
in cash) that number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula:

 

	 	X= 	Y (A-B)	 
	 	A	 

 

Where

 

		X =	The number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.

 

		Y =	The number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised in accordance
with Section 4(a), the portion of the Warrant being cancelled (at the date of such calculation).

 

		A =	The Fair Market Value of one share of the Common Stock (at the date of such calculation).

 

		B =	The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculations).

 

The “Fair Market
Value” of one share of Common Stock shall mean (x) the last reported sale price and, if there are no sales, the last reported
bid price, of the Common Stock on the last trading day prior to the date of exercise on the NASDAQ Capital Market as reported by Bloomberg
Financial Markets (or a comparable reporting service of national reputation selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Holder
if Bloomberg Financial Markets is not then reporting sales prices of the Common Stock) or (y) if the fair market value cannot be calculated
on any of the foregoing bases, the fair market value determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in good faith.

 

(d)
Rule 144. For purposes of Rule 144(d) promulgated under the Securities Act, as in effect on the date hereof, it
is intended that the Warrant Shares issued in a Net Exercise shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period
for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

 

    F-2

     

    

 

(e)
Disputes. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant
Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed.

 

2.
CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS.

 

(a)
Adjustment of Number of Warrant Shares and Exercise Price. The number and kind of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise
of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

(1)
Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances. If the Company shall at any time after the Date of Issuance but prior to
the Expiration Date subdivide its shares of Common Stock, by split-up or otherwise, or combine such shares of Common Stock, or issue additional
shares of Common Stock as a dividend with respect to any shares of such Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares issuable on the exercise
of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased
in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price payable per share, but the aggregate Exercise
Price payable for the total number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment
under this Section 2(a)(1) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective,
or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.

 

(2)
Reorganizations or Mergers. In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization or change in the capital stock of the
Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination or stock dividend provided for in Section 2(a)(1) above) that occurs after
the Date of Issuance, then, as a condition of such reclassification, reorganization or change, lawful provision shall be made, and duly
executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor shall be delivered to the Holder, so that the Holder shall thereafter
have the right at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise
of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and/or other securities or property (including, if applicable, cash) receivable
in connection with such reclassification, reorganization or change by a holder of the same number and type of securities as were purchasable
as Warrant Shares by the Holder immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization or change. In any such case, appropriate provisions
shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with
respect to any shares of stock or other securities or property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be
made to the Exercise Price payable hereunder, provided the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same (and, for the avoidance of doubt,
this Warrant shall be exclusively exercisable for such shares of stock and/or other securities or property from and after the consummation
of such reclassification or other change in the capital stock of the Company).

 

(b)
Notice of Adjustment. When any adjustment is required to be made in the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise
of the Warrant, or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of such event and of the number of Warrant Shares
or other securities or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

    F-3

     

    

 

(c)
Calculations. No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or
decrease of at least $0.01 in such price; provided, however, that any adjustment which by reason of this Section 2(c) is
not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustments under this Section 2. All calculations
under this Section 2 shall be made by the Company in good faith and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one hundredth
of a share, as applicable. No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value or no par value of the Common Stock.

 

3.
NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. Until the exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall not have, nor exercise, any rights as a stockholder
of the Company (including without limitation the right to notification of stockholder meetings or the right to receive any notice or other
communication concerning the business and affairs of the Company), except as provided in Section 7 below.

 

4.
MECHANICS OF EXERCISE.

 

(a)
Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised by the Holder hereof upon the delivery of a Notice
of Exercise attached hereto as Exhibit A duly completed and executed on behalf of the Holder hereof, at the principal office of
the Company together with payment in full of the Exercise Price (unless the Holder has elected to Net Exercise) then in effect with respect
to the number of Warrant Shares as to which the Warrant is being exercised. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately
prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above, and the person entitled to receive the Warrant
Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of such shares of record as of the close of business
on such date. The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and
delivery of the Notice of Exercise with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the
original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. On or before the
second (2nd) business day following the date on which the Company has duly received each of the Notice of Exercise and the aggregate Exercise
Price (or a duly executed and delivered notice of Net Exercise), the Company shall transmit by facsimile an acknowledgment of confirmation
of receipt of the Notice of Exercise to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (“Transfer Agent”). On or
before the third (3rd) business day following the date on which the Company has received the Notice of Exercise, the Company shall (X)
provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities
Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant
to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission
system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and dispatch by
overnight courier to the address as specified in the Notice of Exercise, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register
in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise.
Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise and the payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (or a duly executed and delivered notice of Net
Exercise), the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect
to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account
or the date of delivery of the certificates or book-entry position evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be. No fractional shares
of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall
be rounded down to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all taxes (other than taxes based upon the income of the Holder)
which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, that
the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of
shares of Common Stock in any name other than that of the Holder, in either case with respect to any income or transfer tax due by the
Holder with respect to such shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

    F-4

     

    

 

(b)
Exercise Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant, to the extent, and only to the extent, that
upon any proposed exercise of this Warrant the issuance and delivery of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, taken together with
the issuance of all shares of Common Stock and Series B Preferred pursuant to the Merger Agreement, would exceed the aggregate number
of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules and regulations
of the listing rules of the NASDAQ Capital Market (the restrictions set forth in this sentence, the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”),
subject to Section 1(a), in lieu of receiving shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder may elect (by delivery
of written notice (the “Election Notice”) to the Company) to receive for each one (1) share of Common Stock otherwise
issuable under this Warrant one-tenth (1/10th) of a share of Series B Preferred. Upon receiving the Election Notice and subject to Section
1(a), the Company will issue the appropriate number of shares of the Series B Preferred as Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant
in accordance with the foregoing, it being understood that nothing herein shall entitle the Holder to exercise the Warrant with respect
to any Forfeited Shares (as defined in Schedule F to the Merger Agreement). For these purposes, beneficial ownership and calculations
of percentage ownership will be determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing
to the contrary, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall not apply following the receipt of the stockholder approval contemplated by
Rule 5635 of the NASDAQ listing rules with respect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series B Preferred
in excess of the limitations imposed by such rule (the “Requisite Stockholder Approval”).

 

5.
CERTIFICATE OF ADJUSTMENT. Whenever the Exercise Price or number or type of securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall, at its expense, promptly deliver to the Holder a certificate of an officer of the
Company setting forth the nature of such adjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based.

 

6.
COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS.

 

(a)
The Holder understands that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under
the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and
that under such laws and applicable regulations this Warrant and the Warrant Shares may be resold without registration under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, the Holder
represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations
imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

 

    F-5

     

    

 

(b)
Prior and as a condition to the sale or transfer of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall
furnish to the Company such certificates, representations, agreements and other information, including an opinion of counsel, as the Company
or the Company’s transfer agent reasonably may require to confirm that such sale or transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption
from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, unless such Warrant Shares are being sold
or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement.

 

(c)
The Holder acknowledges that the Company may place a restrictive legend on the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
in order to comply with applicable securities laws, unless such Warrant Shares are otherwise freely tradable under Rule 144 of the Securities
Act.

 

7.
NOTICES OF RECORD DATE. In the event of:

 

(a)
any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof
who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend payable out of earned surplus of the Company) or other distribution,
or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or
to receive any other right; or

 

(b)
any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company,

 

then and in each such event
the Company will mail or cause to be delivered to the Holder (or a permitted transferee) a notice specifying (i) the date on which any
such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend,
distribution or right, and (ii) the date on which any such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any,
as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or
other securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be
delivered at least ten (10) days prior to the date therein specified.

 

8.
REPLACEMENT OF WARRANTS. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement
reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of such
Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

 

    F-6

     

    

 

9.
ISSUANCE OF NEW WARRANTS. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant,
such new Warrant (i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the
right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant (or in the case of a new Warrant being issued pursuant to Sections 4
or 8, the Warrant Shares designated by the Holder which, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the other new Warrants
issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant), (iii) shall have
an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Date of Issuance, and (iv) shall have the same
rights and conditions as this Warrant.

 

10.
AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Warrant may be amended and the Company
may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company has obtained
the written consent of the Holder.

 

11.
TRADING DAYS. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted
herein shall be other than a day on which the Common Stock is traded (which for the avoidance of doubt includes a Saturday, Sunday or
a legal U.S. holiday) on the NASDAQ Capital Market, or, if the NASDAQ Capital Market is not the principal trading market for the Common
Stock or other such securities, as applicable, then on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which the Common Stock
is then traded, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day on which the Common Stock is so
traded.

 

12.
TRANSFERS; EXCHANGES.

 

(a)
Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and Section 6 hereof, this Warrant may be transferred by
the Holder with respect to all of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder except as to Unvested Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement)
which portion of the Warrant shall be non-transferrable. For a transfer of this Warrant as an entirety by Holder, upon surrender of this
Warrant to the Company, together with the Notice of Assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B duly completed and executed
on behalf of the Holder, the Company shall issue a new Warrant of the same denomination to the assignee. Upon surrender of this Warrant
to the Company, together with the Notice of Assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B duly completed and executed on
behalf of the Holder, for transfer of this Warrant with respect to a portion of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder, the Company
will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 9), registered as the Holder
may request, representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares being transferred by the Holder and, if less than the total
number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant is being transferred, a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 9) to the Holder
representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares not being transferred.

 

(b)
This Warrant is exchangeable, without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon presentation and surrender hereof to the Company
for other warrants of different denominations entitling the holder thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of shares of Common
Stock purchasable hereunder. This Warrant may be combined with other warrants that carry the same rights upon presentation hereof at the
principal office of the Company together with a written notice specifying the denominations in which new warrants are to be issued to
the Holder and signed by the Holder hereof. The term “Warrants” as used herein includes any warrants into which this Warrant
may be divided or exchanged.

 

    F-7

     

    

 

13.
GOVERNING LAW; VENUE. This Warrant shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware
applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State. Any action arising out of or relating to this Warrant shall, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be heard and determined exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware;
provided, that if jurisdiction is not available in such court, then any such action may be brought in any federal court located in the
State of Delaware or any other Delaware state court. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto hereby (a)
irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for themselves and with respect to their respective properties
for the purpose of any action arising out of or relating to this Warrant brought by any party hereto, and (b) agree not to commence any
such action except in the courts described above in Delaware, other than any action in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce
any judgment, decree or award rendered by any such court in Delaware as described herein. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, each of the parties hereto further agrees that notice as provided herein shall constitute sufficient service of process and the parties
hereto further waive any argument that such service is insufficient. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise,
in any action arising out of or relating to this Warrant, (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts
in Delaware as described herein for any reason, (ii) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or
from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of
execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (iii) that (A) the action in any such court is brought in an inconvenient
forum, (B) the venue of such action is improper or (C) this Warrant, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.
EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT
TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS WARRANT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 

 

14.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price, the arithmetic calculation of
the Warrant Shares or under Sections 2 or 4(b), the disputing party shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations
to the other party. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation of the Exercise Price or
the Warrant Shares within three (3) business days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the non-disputing
party, then the Company shall, within two (2) business days submit the dispute to an independent, reputable accountant. The Company shall
cause, at the expense of the prevailing party, the accountant to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and
the Holder of the results no later than ten (10) business days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations.
Such accountant’s determination or calculation shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error.

 

15.
REMEDIES, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and
in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or
other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company
to comply with the terms of this Warrant.

 

16.
CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS. This Warrant shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the Holder and shall not be
construed against any person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Warrant are for convenience of reference and shall not form part
of, or affect the interpretation of, this Warrant.

 

17.

Note Purchase Agreement

 

     

     

    

 

NOTE
PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

This Note Purchase Agreement
(this “Agreement”) is made as of February 18, 2022, by and among QPhoton, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), and Quantum Computing Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Investor”, and
together with the Company, the “Parties”).

 

The Investor is willing to
advance funds to the Company in exchange for the issuance to it of certain promissory notes evidencing the Company’s obligation
to repay the Investor’s loans of the advanced funds, all as provided in this Agreement.

 

The Parties have entered into
an exclusivity agreement, dated February 9, 2022 (the “Exclusivity Agreement”) providing for certain extensions of the Initial
Period (as defined in the Exclusivity Agreement) upon the financing transactions under this Agreement.

 

NOW THEREFORE, the parties
hereby agree as follows.

 

1.
PURCHASE AND SALE OF NOTE.

 

1.1 Note Purchase.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company agrees to sell to the Investor, and the Investor agrees to purchase
from the Company, two (2) Promissory Notes in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A (each a “Note”,
and together “Notes”), each with a principal amount equal to $1,250,000 and together with an aggregate principal
amount equal to $2,500,000 on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. The following are collectively referred to as
the “Financing Documents”: (a) this Agreement, (b) the Notes and (c) any document entered into or executed in
connection with, or for the purpose of amending, any other Financing Document described in this sentence. Capitalized terms used but not
defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Note.

 

2.
CLOSINGS.

 

2.1 Initial Closing.
The initial closing for the purchase and sale of the first Note with a principal amount equal to $1,250,000 shall occur on or about the
date hereof via the remote exchange of documents (“Initial Closing”). The First Renewal Period (as defined in
the Exclusivity Agreement) commences upon the Initial Closing. Promptly following the Initial Closing, the Parties will exercise commercially
reasonable efforts to discuss and prepare a mutually agreeable operating budget for the current calendar year of the Company (the “Second
Tranche Budget”).

 

2.2 Second Closing.
The closing of the purchase and sale of the second Note with a principal amount equal to $1,250,000 shall occur via the remote exchange
of documents (the “Second Closing” together with the Initial Closing, the “Closings”
and each a “Closing”) upon the request of the Company, provided that prior to such request either (i) the Parties
mutually approve the Second Tranche Budget; or (ii) the Investor elects, by written notice to the Company, to extend the exclusivity period
under the Exclusivity Agreement by an additional thirty (30) days, in which case the additional exclusivity period shall commence upon
remittance of the additional $1,250,000 to the Company and delivery by the Company to Investor of an executed second Note. The Second
Renewal Period (as defined in the Exclusivity Agreement) commences upon the Second Closing.

 

3.
COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY AND THE INVESTOR.

 

3.1 Most-Favored Nation.
Until the Notes have terminated in accordance with their terms, in the event that the Company issues any non-convertible debt of the Company
after the date hereof which have rights or privileges that may reasonably be considered to be more favorable to the holders thereof than
the terms of the Notes issued hereunder (“Favorable Rights”), the Company shall provide prompt notice to the
Investor of such Favorable Rights and, at the election of the Investor, the Notes shall be amended and restated to include the relevant
Favorable Rights effective upon issuance of the Favorable Rights, which amendments or restatements will be prepared by the Company

 

4.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Investor that,
except as set forth on the Disclosure Schedule attached as Exhibit B to this Agreement (the “Disclosure Schedule”),
which exceptions shall be deemed to be part of the representations and warranties made hereunder, the statements in the following paragraphs
of this Section 4 are all true and complete as of each Closing, except as otherwise indicated.

 

4.1 Organization, Good
Standing and Qualification. The Company has been duly incorporated and organized, and is validly existing in good standing, under
the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company’s predecessor was formed in New Jersey as a limited liability company in January
23, 2020 and was converted into a Delaware corporation on March 1, 2021 (the “Incorporation Date”). The Company
has the corporate power and authority to own and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted
and as presently proposed to be conducted. The Company is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction
in which the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on its business or properties.

 

4.2 Capitalization.

agrees with the Company as follows.

 

5.1 Authorization.
This Agreement constitutes, and the other Financing Documents which constitute agreements of the Investor when executed and delivered
by the Investor will constitute, the Investor’s valid and legally binding obligations, enforceable against the Investor in accordance
with its terms, except as may be limited by (a) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general application
relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (b) the effect of rules of law governing the availability
of equitable remedies. The Investor represents and warrants to the Company that the Investor has full power and authority to enter into
this Agreement.

 

    G-4

     

    

 

5.2 Securities Law Compliance.
The Investor has been advised that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and, therefore,
cannot be resold unless they are registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption from
such registration requirements is available. The Investor is aware that the Company is under no obligation to effect any such registration
with respect to the Notes or to file for or comply with any exemption from registration.

 

5.3 Purchase for Own Account.
The Notes will be acquired for investment for the Investor’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the
public resale or distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the Investor has no present intention of selling,
granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same.

 

5.4 No Solicitation.
At no time was the Investor presented with or solicited by any publicly issued or circulated newspaper, mail, radio, television or other
form of general advertising or solicitation in connection with the offer, sale and purchase of the Notes.

 

5.5 Disclosure of Information.
The Investor has received or has had access to all the information the Investor considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed
investment decision with respect to the Notes. The Investor further has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the
Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Notes and to obtain additional information (to the extent the Company
possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify any information furnished to
the Investor or to which the Investor had access. The foregoing, however, does not in any way limit or modify the representations and
warranties made by the Company in Section 4.

 

5.6 Investment Experience.
The Investor understands that the purchase of the Notes involves substantial risk. The Investor has experience as an investor in securities
of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that the Investor is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of the
Investor’s investment in the Notes and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that the Investor is capable
of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment in the Notes and protecting the Investor’s own interests in connection with
this investment in the Notes.

 

5.7 Preexisting Relationship.
The Investor has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company and certain of its officers, directors or controlling
persons of a nature and duration that enables the Investor to be aware of the character, business acumen and financial circumstances of

5.9 Accredited Investor
Status. The Investor is familiar with the definition of, and qualifies as, an “accredited investor within the meaning of
Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

5.10 Restricted Securities.
The Investor understands that the Notes are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and Rule 144
promulgated thereunder (“Rule 144”) since they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving
a public offering, and that under the Securities Act and applicable regulations thereunder the Notes may be resold without registration
under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. The Investor further understands that the Company is under no obligation
to register the Notes, and the Company has no present plans to do so. Furthermore, the Investor is familiar with Rule 144, as presently
in effect, and understands the limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act on resale of the Notes without such registration.
The Investor understands that, whether or not the Notes may be resold in the future without registration under the Securities Act, no
public market now exists for any of the Notes and that it is uncertain whether a public market will ever exist for the Notes.

 

    G-5

     

    

 

5.11 Further Limitations
on Disposition. Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, the Investor further agrees not to make any disposition
of all or any portion of the Notes unless and until:

 

(a) there is then in effect
a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such
effective registration statement; or

 

(b) the Investor shall have
notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a statement of the circumstances surrounding
the proposed disposition and, at the expense of the Investor or its transferee, with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory in

and (b) of this Section 5.11, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be required for any transfer: (i) of any Notes
in compliance with Rule 144 or Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act when the Company is promptly provided evidence of such compliance;

by gift, will or intestate succession by the Investor to his or her spouse or lineal descendants or ancestors or any trust for any of
the foregoing; provided that in each of the foregoing cases the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms
of this Section 5 to the same extent as if the transferee had been an original Investor hereunder.

 

5.1 “Market
Stand-Off” Agreement. The Note contains a market standoff provision prohibiting the Investor from selling the Company’s

As of the date of this Agreement, all of the shares
of Parent Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Parent Common Stock Warrants held by the Effective Time Holders shall be unvested
and non-exercisable (such shares, the “Unvested Shares”). Upon the exercise of any of the options or warrants to purchase
shares of Parent Common Stock that are outstanding as of the date of this Agreement (such outstanding options and warrants, the “Outstanding
Parent Options and Warrants”), a number of Unvested Shares shall vest and the Parent Common Stock Warrants shall become immediately
exercisable with respect thereto (each such vesting of shares, the “Vested Shares”), subject to the limitations and
conditions set forth in the Parent Common Stock Warrant, equal to the product of (a) the Unvested Shares, multiplied by (b) the
quotient of (i) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issued upon such exercise of the applicable Outstanding Parent Options and
Warrants, divided by (ii) 7,315,209. Upon each vesting of the Vested Shares, the Vested Shares shall be allocated to the Parent
Common Stock Warrants held by the Effective Time Holders in accordance with such Effective Time Holder’s Pro Rata Share.

 

Upon the irrevocable expiration or termination
of any of the Outstanding Parent Options and Warrants, a number of Unvested Shares shall be immediately forfeited and shall never become
Vested Shares (the shares so forfeited, the “Forfeited Shares”) equal to the product of (a) the Unvested Shares, multiplied
by (b) the quotient of (i) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock forfeited upon the irrevocable termination or expiration of
the applicable Outstanding Parent Options and Warrants, divided by (ii) 7,315,209. The Forfeited Shares shall be allocated to the
Parent Common Stock Warrants held by the Effective Time Holders in accordance with such Effective Time Holder’s Pro Rata Share.

 

Within fifteen (15) days of the last day of each
calendar month, Parent shall deliver a calculation of the number of Vested Shares and Forfeited Shares underlying each Effective Time
Holder’s Parent Common Stock Warrants that vested and/or were forfeited, as the case may be, during the prior calendar month and
the aggregate number of Vested Shares, Unvested Shares and Forfeited Shares underlying such Parent Common Stock Warrant.

principal and interest under this Note into restricted shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock at a conversion price equal to $0.50
per share of Common Stock.

 

		2.	Alternative Payment. Any time prior to June 30, 2022, if Borrower raises new equity capital in the amount of three million

on this Convertible Promissory Note will be due.

 

		3.	Interest Rate. Simple interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall accrue at the lesser of ten percent
(10%) per annum and the highest rate permitted by law. If an Event of Default (as defined below) shall occur under this Note, interest
shall immediately commence accruing at a default rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum.

 

		4.	Default. The occurrence of any of the following events of default (each, an “Event of Default”) shall,
at the option of the Holder thereof, make all principal and interest (to the extend accrued) then remaining unpaid hereon and all other
amounts payable hereunder immediately due and payable, upon written demand, without presentment, or grace period, all of which hereby
are expressly waived, except as set forth below:

 

		(a)	Failure to Pay Principal or Interest. The Borrower fails to pay any installment of principal or interest due under this Note
when due and such failure continues for a period of five (5) days after written notice.

 

		(b)	Receiver or Trustee. The Borrower shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or applies for or consents to the
appointment of a receiver or trustee for it or for a substantial part of its property or business; or such a receiver of trustee shall
otherwise be appointed without the consent of the Borrower, which shall constitute an automatic Event of Default and shall result in all

		(c)	Bankruptcy. Bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings or relief under any bankruptcy
law or any law, or the issuance of any notice in relation to such event, for the relief of debtors shall be instituted by or against the
Borrower, which shall constitute an automatic Event of Default and shall result in all remaining unpaid principal and interest due hereon
immediately due and payable without the written demand from the Holder.

 

		5.	Termination. Upon payment of all cash amounts due to the Holder as provided in this Note, the Borrower will forever
be released from all of its payment obligations and liabilities under this Note and the Holder agrees to promptly return to the Borrower
the Note marked “paid in full”. This Note may be prepaid, in whole or in part, without the prior consent of the Holder.

 

		6.	Miscellaneous

 

		(a)	Successors and Assigns. This Note shall be binding upon successors and assigns of the Borrower, and shall inure to the benefit
of the successors and permitted assigns of the Holder.

 

		(b)	Severability. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision or provisions of this Note shall not render any other provision
or provisions herein contained unenforceable or invalid.

 

		(c)	Notice. Any notice or communication required to be given hereunder may be delivered by hand or deposited with an overnight
courier (with overnight delivery instructions), if to the Borrower, to the address of the Borrower’s corporate headquarters, and
