or reset price under any of such securities. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are duly authorized,

for which appropriate reserves have been made therefor in accordance with GAAP and, the payment of which is neither delinquent
nor subject to penalties. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and the Subsidiaries are held by them
under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with which the Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance.

 

(n)        Insurance. The Company
and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts
as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage
expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business without a significant
increase in cost.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

(o)        Transactions
With Affiliates and Employees. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, none of the officers or directors of the Company or
any Subsidiary and, to the knowledge of the Company, none of the employees of the Company or any Subsidiary is presently a party
to any transaction with the Company or any Subsidiary (other than for services as employees, officers and directors), including
any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or
personal property to or from providing for the borrowing of money from or lending of money to, or otherwise requiring payments
to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any entity in which any officer, director,
or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee, stockholder, member or partner, in each case
in excess of $120,000 other than for: (i) payment of salary or consulting fees for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for expenses
incurred on behalf of the Company and (iii) other employee benefits, including stock option agreements under any stock option
plan of the Company. Nothing in this Section 3.1(o) shall limit the right of any officer or director of the Company, or
any Subsidiary, from purchasing Securities from the Company, or limiting the right of the Company to sell Securities to such person,
pursuant to this SPA.

 

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

 

(q)        Brokerage or Finder’s
Fees. The Company may engage one or more registered broker-dealers to assist in the Offering. To the extent brokerage or finder’s
fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Company or any Subsidiaries to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder,
placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents,
the Purchasers shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons
for fees of a type contemplated in this Section that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents.

 

(r)        Private Placement. Assuming
the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2, no registration under the
Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Securities by the Company to the Purchasers as contemplated hereby.

 

(s)        No General Solicitation.
Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor to its knowledge, any Person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in
any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D under the 1933 Act) in connection
with the offer or sale of the Securities.

 

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

 

    	 

    	 

    

  

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

 

(v)        Tax Status. Except for
matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect,
the Company and its Subsidiaries each (i) has made or filed all United States federal, state and local income and all foreign income
and franchise tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has paid all taxes
and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports
and declarations and (iii) has no material tax obligations for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports
or declarations apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction,
and the officers of the Company or of any Subsidiary know of no basis for any such claim.

 

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

 

(x)        Accountants. The Company’s
accounting firm is set forth on Schedule 3.1(y) of the Disclosure Schedules. To the knowledge and belief of the Company,
such accounting firm: (i) is a registered public accounting firm as required by the Exchange Act and (ii) shall express its opinion
with respect to the financial statements to be included in the Company’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ending March 31,
2013.

 

(y)        No Disagreements with Accountants
and Lawyers. There are no disagreements of any kind presently existing, or reasonably anticipated by the Company to arise,
between the Company and the accountants and lawyers formerly or presently employed by the Company and, although the Company is
not current with respect to fees owed to its accountants and lawyers, such amount is not expected to affect the Company’s
ability to perform any of its obligations under any of the Transaction Documents.

 

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

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

(aa)        Acknowledgment
Regarding Purchaser’s Trading Activity. Anything in this SPA or elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding (except
for Sections 3.2(f) and 4.15 hereof), it is understood and acknowledged by the Company that: (i) none of the Purchasers
has been asked by the Company to agree, nor has any Purchaser agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling, long and/or short,
securities of the Company, or “derivative” securities based on securities issued by the Company or to hold the Securities
for any specified term, (ii) past or future open market or other transactions by any Purchaser, specifically including, without
limitation, Short Sales or “derivative” transactions, before or after the closing of this or future private placement
transactions, may negatively impact the market price of the Company’s publicly-traded securities, (iii) any Purchaser, and
counter-parties in “derivative” transactions to which any such Purchaser is a party, directly or indirectly, may presently
have a “short” position in the Common Stock and (iv) each Purchaser shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with
or control over any arm’s length counter-party in any “derivative” transaction; provided, that no Purchaser
shall engage in a Net Short Sale (as defined in Section 4.15) until such Purchaser no longer holds any Notes or
Warrants. The Company further understands and acknowledges that (y) one or more Purchasers may engage in hedging activities at
various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, including, without limitation, during the periods that the
value of the Warrant Shares deliverable with respect to Securities are being determined, and (z) such hedging activities (if any)
could reduce the value of the existing stockholders' equity interests in the Company at and after the time that the hedging activities
are being conducted. The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute a breach of any of
the Transaction Documents.

 

(bb)      Stock Option Plans.
Each stock option granted by the Company under the Company’s stock option plan was granted (i) in accordance with the terms
of the Company’s stock option plan and (ii) with an exercise price at least equal to the fair market value of the Common
Stock on the date such stock option would be considered granted under GAAP and applicable law. No stock option granted under the
Company’s stock option plan has been backdated. The Company has not knowingly granted, and there is no and has been no Company
policy or practice to knowingly grant, stock options prior to, or otherwise knowingly coordinate the grant of stock options with,
the release or other public announcement of material information regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries or their financial results
or prospects.

 

(cc)       Money Laundering. The
operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries are and have been conducted at all times in compliance with applicable financial
record-keeping and reporting requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, applicable
money laundering statutes and applicable rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”),
and no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving
the Company or any Subsidiary with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary,
threatened.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

    	 

    	 

    

  

(c)        Purchaser
Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on
which it exercises any Warrants or converts any Notes it will be either: (i) an “accredited
investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act; (ii) not a “U.S.
Person,” as defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act; (iii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined
in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act; or (iv) if Purchaser is a resident of Alberta, British
Columbia or Ontario, Canada, an accredited investor as that term is defined in NI-45-106 and/or a family member, a close
business associate or a close personal friend of a director, executive officer or control person of the Company as contemplated
by Section 2.5 of NI-45-106. Such Purchaser is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer under
Section 15 of the Exchange Act.

 

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

 

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

 

(f)         Certain Transactions and
Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not directly or indirectly,
nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, executed any purchases or sales, including
Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Purchaser first received a
term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms of
the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions
of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio
managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect
to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered
by this SPA. Other than to other Persons party to this SPA, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures
made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).

 

(g)        Ability
to Bear the Economic Risk. Purchaser (i) has adequate net worth and means of providing for its current financial needs
and possible personal contingencies, (ii) has no need for liquidity in this investment, and (iii) is able to bear the economic
risks of an investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time.

 

(h)        Shell
Company Status. Purchaser represents, acknowledges and warrants its understanding that, pursuant to Rule 144, a “shell
company” is defined as a company that has no or nominal operations; and, either no or nominal assets; assets consisting
solely of cash and cash equivalents; or assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets.
Accordingly, Purchaser represents, acknowledges and warrants its understanding that until its
filing of its Current Report on Form 8-K dated August 16, 2011, reflecting its status as a “non-shell company,”
the Company was a “shell company” pursuant to Rule 144 and resales of its securities pursuant to Rule 144 may not
be made until at least all of the following criteria set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) have been met: (1) the Company has ceased to
be a “shell company,” (2) the Company is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, (3) a period of at least
twelve months has elapsed from the date “Form 10 information” was filed with the SEC reflecting the Company’s
status as a non-shell company, and (4) the Company has filed all of its required periodic reports as required by Section 13 or
15(d), other than Form 8-K reports, for the prior one year period. As a result, Purchaser may not be able to sell the Securities
until and unless such securities are registered with the SEC, an exemption for the sales other than Rule 144 can be relied upon,
and/or both the Company and Purchaser fully comply with all applicable requirements of Rule 144. Accordingly, Purchaser represents,
acknowledges and warrants its understanding that it may never be able to dispose of its Securities purchased pursuant to this
SPA using an exemption provided for by Rule 144, or any other exemption.

 

    	 

    	 

    

  

(i)         Acknowledgement that Proposed
Acquisition May Not be Consummated. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it is aware that the Company has entered into an Asset
Purchase Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated November 14, 2012 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), with
Mesa Energy Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Mesa”) and Mesa Energy, Inc., a Nevada corporation and
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mesa (“Mesa Energy”), and amended on February 19, 2013, pursuant to which Armada
will purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of Mesa Energy common stock, representing substantially all of the assets
of Mesa, which shares are currently owned by Mesa. As consideration for such acquisition, the Company will issue 0.40 shares of
its common stock for each issued and outstanding share of Mesa, which shares shall then be distributed by Mesa to its shareholders
as further set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement. Purchaser hereby acknowledges, warrants and represents that it is aware that
the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement may never be consummated, and the failure by the Company to consummate
such transactions may adversely affect the Company’s financial position, and the Purchaser’s decision to purchase the
Securities has been made with an understanding of such.

 

(j)         Other Offerings. Purchaser
acknowledges that the Company will, from time to time, offer and sell additional shares of Common Stock, debt instruments payable
by the Company and/or securities convertible into common stock on such terms and conditions as its Board of Directors, in its
sole discretion, may determine. The terms and conditions of the offer and sale of any such additional shares of Common Stock may
be different from and on terms better than the terms of this Offering and may result in substantial dilution to the existing shareholders.

 

(k)        Reliance.
Purchaser understands and acknowledges that (i) the Securities are being offered and sold to Purchaser without registration
under the Securities Act in a private placement that is intended to be exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities
Act and (ii) the availability of such exemption, depends in part on, and the Company will rely upon, the accuracy and truthfulness
of, the foregoing representations and warranties and Purchaser hereby consents to such reliance. Purchaser agrees that the representations,
warranties and covenants of Purchaser contained herein (or in any representation letter or questionnaire executed and delivered
by Purchaser pursuant to the provisions hereof) shall be true and correct both as of the execution of this SPA
and as of the Closing Date, and shall survive the completion of the distribution of the Securities. Purchaser hereby agrees
to notify the Company immediately of any change in any representation, warranty, covenant or other information relating to Purchaser
contained in this SPA, or any exhibit hereto, which takes place prior to Closing.

 

(l)         Pre-Existing, Substantive
Relationship. Purchaser understands and acknowledges that, until the closing of the transaction contemplated by Section
3.2(i), the Securities offered hereunder will be offered and sold to only those investors who have a “pre-existing, substantive
relationship,” as such term is then defined by the SEC in its interpretive letters or otherwise with the Company and/or its
officers or directors. After the closing of the transaction contemplated by Section 3.2(i), the Company may offer and sell
the Securities to investors who do not otherwise have a “pre-existing, substantive relationship” with the Company and/or
its officers or directors. To the extent Purchaser is purchasing the Securities prior to the completion closing of the transaction
contemplated by Section 3.2(i), Purchaser hereby represents and warrants that it has a “pre-existing, substantive
relationship” with the Company and/or its officers or directors.

 

(m)       Non-US Persons. If Purchaser is not a “U.S.
Person” as defined in Regulation S, Purchaser further represents and warrants to the Company that:

 

(i)        it is acquiring the Securities
in an offshore transaction pursuant to Regulation S and Purchaser was outside the United States when receiving and executing this
SPA;

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

(ii)        Purchaser has not acquired
the Securities as a result of, and will not itself engage in, any “directed selling efforts” (as defined in Regulation
S) in the United States in respect of the Securities which would include any activities undertaken for the purpose of, or that
could reasonably be expected to have the effect of, conditioning the market in the United States for the resale of the Securities;
provided, however, that Purchaser may sell or otherwise dispose of the Securities pursuant to registration of the Securities under
the Securities Act and any applicable state and provincial securities laws or under an exemption from such registration requirements
and as otherwise provided herein;

 

(iii)       during
the six month distribution compliance period set forth in Regulation S (the “Distribution Compliance Period”),
Purchaser understands and agrees that offers and sales of any of the Securities shall only be made pursuant to an effective registration
statement as to such Securities or in compliance with the safe harbor provisions set forth in Regulation S (which the purchaser
of the Securities (other than a distributor) certifies that it is not a U.S. person and is not acquiring the Securities for the
account or benefit of any U.S. person or is a U.S. person who purchased securities in a transaction that did not require registration
under the Securities Act); following the Distribution Compliance Period offers and sales of the Securities
may be effected by Purchaser solely pursuant to an effective registration statement as to such Securities or an exemption from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in each case only in accordance with all other applicable securities laws;

 

(iv)       Purchaser
understands and agrees not to engage in any hedging transactions involving the Securities; and

 

(v)        Purchaser
hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any
invitation to subscribe for the Securities or any use of this SPA, including: (i) the legal requirements
within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Securities; (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase;
(iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained; and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any,
that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Securities. Purchaser’s subscription and
payment for, and its continued beneficial ownership of the Securities, will not violate any applicable securities or other laws
of Purchaser’s jurisdiction of residency as set forth on the signature page hereto.

 

(n)        Exploration and Development
Stage Company. Purchaser has been advised that the business of the Company is in an exploration and development stage business
with minimal revenue and acknowledges that there is no assurance that the Company will raise sufficient funds to adequately capitalize
the business or that the business will be profitable in the future.

 

(o)        No Governmental Review.
Purchaser acknowledges and understands that no United States federal or state agency, including the
SEC has passed on or made recommendations or endorsement of the Securities or the suitability of the investment contemplated hereby.
There is no government or other insurance covering any of the Securities.

 

(p)        No
Conflicts. The entering into of this SPA and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby do not result in the violation of any of the terms and provisions of any law applicable to, or the constating
documents of, Purchaser or of any agreement, written or oral, to which Purchaser may be a party or by which Purchaser is or may
be bound.

 

(q)        No
Consents. Purchaser is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or
make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its

assuming and relying upon the accuracy of the relevant representations and agreements of the Company herein.

 

(r)         No Registration of the Warrant
Shares. The Purchaser acknowledges and understands that except as set forth in Article V of this SPA, the Company has
no obligation or intention to register for resale the Warrant Shares.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

(s)        Canadian

that Purchaser satisfies one of the categories of registration and prospectus exemptions provided
for in NI 45-106. All information which Purchaser has provided to the Company in the Canadian

prior to the Subscription Amount being accepted by the Company, Purchaser will immediately provide
the Company with such information. All information contained in the Canadian Questionnaire is complete and accurate and may be
relied upon by the Company.

 

(t)         US

and that Company Counsel does not represent, and is not acting on behalf of, Purchaser. Purchaser has been provided with an opportunity
to consult with Purchaser’s own counsel with respect to this SPA.

 

The Company acknowledges
and agrees that the representations contained in Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right
to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this SPA or any express representations and warranties

Agreements Of The Parties

 

4.1        Transfer
Restrictions.

 

(a)        The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance
with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration

4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor
and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company,
to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition
of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this SPA and shall make the representations
set forth in Section 3.2, and then shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this SPA.

 

(b)        Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is
required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form, or in such other form as the Company,
in its sole discretion, deems appropriate:

 

If Purchaser is a U.S.
Person:

 

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN
REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION
FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE
OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION
FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL

If Purchaser is a non-US person:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED
HEREBY HAVE BEEN OFFERED IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION TO A PERSON WHO IS NOT A U.S. PERSON (AS DEFINED HEREIN) PURSUANT TO REGULATION
S UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”). NONE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED
HEREBY HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITES ACT, OR ANY U.S. STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND, UNLESS SO REGISTERED, MAY NOT BE OFFERED
OR SOLD, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN THE UNITED STATES (AS DEFINED HEREIN) OR TO U.S. PERSONS EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS
OF REGULATION S UNDER THE 1933 ACT, PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN
AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN EACH CASE
ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. IN ADDITION, HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE
CONDUCTED UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT. “UNITED STATES” AND “U.S. PERSON” ARE AS DEFINED
BY REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

 

And in addition to the foregoing:

 

UNLESS OTHERWISE PERMITTED
UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY IN OR FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA UNLESS THE CONDITIONS
IN SECTION 12(2) OF BC INSTRUMENT 51-509 ISSUERS QUOTED IN THE U.S. OVER-THE-COUNTER MARKET ARE MET.

 

The Company acknowledges
and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer
or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor”
as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this SPA and, if required under
the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such
a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured
party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate
Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of
Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities.

 

(c)        Certificates evidencing the
Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (i) while a registration
statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Warrant Shares
pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial
interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC). The Company shall, at Purchaser’s expense, cause its
counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly after the Effective Date if required by the Transfer Agent to effect
the removal of the legend hereunder to the extent permissible under applicable laws, rules and regulations.

 

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

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

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

 

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

 

4.4        Exercise
Procedures. Each of the form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants set forth the totality of the procedures required
of the Purchasers in order to exercise the Warrants and no additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be
required of the Purchasers to exercise their Warrants. The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and shall deliver Warrant
Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.

 

4.5        Securities
Laws Disclosure; Publicity. To the extent required by the Securities Act or Exchange Act, the Company shall file a Current
Report on Form 8-K, including the Transaction Documents as exhibits thereto, with the SEC within the time required by the Exchange
Act. From and after the issuance of such Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company represents to the Purchasers that it shall have
publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to any of the Purchasers by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents. The Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing
with the SEC or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except: (a) as required
by federal securities law in connection with the filing of final Transaction Documents with the SEC, (b) to the extent requested
by the SEC and (c) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall
provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clauses (b) and (c).

 

4.6        Non-Public
Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents,
the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf, will provide any Purchaser or its
agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto
such Purchaser shall have entered into a written agreement with the Company regarding the confidentiality and use of such information.
The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in
securities of the Company.

 

4.7        Use of Proceeds.
The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for capital expenditures, working capital and
general corporate purposes.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

4.8         Indemnification
of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.8, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and
its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent
role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser
(within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders,
agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles
notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”)
harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments,
amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser
Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements made by the Company in this SPA or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against the Purchaser
Parties in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate
of such Purchaser Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action
is based upon a breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents
or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such Purchaser
Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful
misconduct or malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought
pursuant to this SPA, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to
assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall
have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically
authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and
to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue
between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for
the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party
under this SPA (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is
attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or SPA s made by such Purchaser
Party in this SPA or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification required by this Section 4.8 shall be made
by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, in a commercially reasonable manner.
The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against
the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.

 

4.9        Reservation
and Listing of Securities.

 

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

 

(b)        If, on any date, the number
of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) shares of Common Stock is less than the Required Minimum on such date, then
the Board of Directors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Company’s certificate or articles of incorporation
to increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to at least the Required Minimum at such time, as soon
as practicable and in any event not later than the 180th day after such date.

 

(c)        The Company shall, if applicable:
(i) in the time and manner required by the principal Trading Market, prepare and file with such Trading Market an additional shares
listing application covering a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to the Required Minimum on the date of such application,
(ii) take all steps necessary to cause such shares of Common Stock to be approved for listing or quotation on such Trading Market
as soon as commercially reasonable thereafter, (iii) provide to the Purchasers evidence of such listing or quotation and (iv) maintain
the listing or quotation of such Common Stock on any date at least equal to the Required Minimum on such date on such Trading Market
or another Trading Market.

 

4.10       Equal
Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid
to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this SPA unless the same consideration is also
offered to all of the parties to this SPA. Further, the Company shall not make any payment of principal or interest on the Notes
in amounts which are disproportionate to the respective principal amounts outstanding on the Notes at
any applicable time. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company
and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in
any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities
or otherwise.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

4.11       Short
Sales and Confidentiality After the Date Hereof. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants
that neither it, nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or
sales, including Short Sales, of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this
SPA and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this SPA are first publicly announced pursuant to Section 4.6.
Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated
by this SPA are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.6, such Purchaser
will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in the Transaction
Documents and the Disclosure Schedules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant
hereby that it will not engage in Short Sales in the securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated
by this SPA are first publicly announced as described in Section 4.6; provided, however, each Purchaser agrees,
severally and not jointly with any other Purchasers, that such Purchaser will not enter into any Net Short Sales (as hereinafter
defined) from the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that such Purchaser no longer holds any Notes
or Warrant Shares. For purposes of this Section 4.11, a “Net Short Sale” by any Purchaser shall mean
a sale of Common Stock by such Purchaser that is marked as a short sale and that is made at a time where there is no equivalent
offsetting long position in Common Stock held by such Purchaser. For purposes of determining whether there is an equivalent offsetting
long position in Common Stock held by the Purchaser, Warrant Shares that have not yet been exercised pursuant to the Warrants shall
be deemed to be held long by the Purchaser, and the amount of shares of Common Stock held in a long position shall be all unexercised
Warrant Shares (ignoring any exercise limitations included therein) issuable to such Purchaser on such date, plus any shares of
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents otherwise then held by such Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a
Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s
assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing
other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets
managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this SPA.

 

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

(or any security which is convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for common equity securities) pursuant to a registration
statement (a “Piggyback Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act (other than a registration statement
on Form S-8 or Form S-4, or any similar successor forms thereto), whether for its own account or for the account of one or more
security holders of the Company (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company shall give prompt written notice to
Purchaser of its intention to effect such sale or registration and, subject to Section 5(b), shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to include in such transaction all Registrable Securities (in the form of common equity securities) with respect
to which the Company has received a written request from Purchaser for inclusion therein within 10 days after Purchaser’s
receipt of the Company’s notice. The Company may postpone or withdraw the filing or the effectiveness of a Piggyback Registration
at any time in its sole discretion (or, if applicable, at the sole discretion of the security holder requesting such Piggyback
Registration).

 

(b)        Cutbacks.

 

(i)        Cutbacks Pursuant to Rule
415 or Underwriters Advice. In the event a cutback is requested by the SEC pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act in a
written comment to the Company, or as otherwise requested by the SEC in a written comment to the Company, or upon the advice of
an Underwriter, if any, the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the Piggyback Registration Statement shall be subject
to a reduction as required to register the greatest number of Registrable Securities, and all cutbacks shall be, to the greatest
extent possible, made pro-rata.

to this Section 5.2(b), the Company shall cause a registration statement to be filed with the SEC to include the remaining
Registrable Securities immediately following the date on which the Piggyback Registration Statement is declared effective.

Purchaser’s performance of or compliance with this SPA, including, without limitations,
printing expenses, transfer agent’s and registrar’s fees, stock transfer taxes, costs of distributing prospectuses
in preliminary and final form as well as any supplements thereto, and fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel and accountants
for Purchaser and fees, expenses, commissions and disbursements for other persons retained by Purchaser in connection therewith,

5.4        Indemnification.

 

(a)        In the
event of the offer and sale of any of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, the Company shall, and hereby does,
indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Purchaser, its directors,
officers, partners, each other person who participates as an Underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities, and each
other person, if any, who controls or is under common control with such Purchaser or any such
Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities, joint or several, and expenses to which Purchaser or any such director,
officer, partner or Underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement prepared and
filed by the Company under which Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus,
final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission to state therein
a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances in which they
were made not misleading, and the Company shall reimburse Purchaser, and each such director,
officer, partner, Underwriter and controlling person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection
with investigating, defending or settling any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding; provided, that such indemnity
agreement found in this Section 5.4 shall in no event exceed the net proceeds from the Offering, received by the Company;
and provided further, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case (i) to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage,
liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement in or omission
from such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company for use in the preparation thereof or (ii)
if the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) who purchased the
Registrable Securities that are the subject thereof did not receive a copy of an amended preliminary prospectus or the final prospectus
(or the final prospectus as amended or supplemented) at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Registrable Securities
to such person because of the failure of such Purchaser or Underwriter to so provide such amended
preliminary or final prospectus and the untrue statement or omission of a material fact made in such preliminary prospectus was
corrected in the amended preliminary or final prospectus (or the final prospectus as amended or supplemented). Such indemnity
shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of Purchaser,
or any such director, officer, partner, Underwriter or controlling person and shall survive the transfer of such shares by Purchaser.

 

(b)        As a
condition to including the Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this SPA, each Purchaser
agrees to be bound by the terms of this Section 5.4 and to indemnify and hold harmless, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, each of its directors, officers, partners, legal counsel and accountants and each
Underwriter, if any, and each other Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or any such director or officer
or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) that arises out of or is based upon an untrue
statement in or omission from such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus,
amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by Purchaser for
use in the preparation thereof, and such Purchaser shall reimburse the Company, and such Purchaser,
directors, officers, partners, legal counsel and accountants, Persons, Underwriters, or control persons, each such director, officer,
and controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending,
or settling any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action, or proceeding; provided, however, that such indemnity agreement found
in this Section 5.4(b) shall in no event exceed the net proceeds received by such Purchaser
as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement, except in the case of fraud or willful
misconduct. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the
Company or any such director, officer or controlling person and shall survive the transfer by any Purchaser of
such shares.

 

    	 

    	 

    

  

(c)        Promptly after receipt by an
indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in this Section 5.4
(including any governmental action), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying
party, give written notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such action; provided, that the failure of any indemnified
party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section 5.4,
except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action
is brought against an indemnified party, unless in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such indemnified party a conflict of interest
between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist or the indemnified party may have defenses not available to the indemnifying
party in respect of such claim, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party
of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any
legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof, unless in such indemnified
party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties arises in respect of
such claim after the assumption of the defenses thereof or the indemnifying party fails to defend such claim in a diligent manner,
other than reasonable costs of investigation. Neither an indemnified nor an indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement
of any action or proceeding effected without its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party,
consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement, which 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 of such claim or litigation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, and without limiting any of the rights set forth above, in any event
any party shall have the right to retain, at its own expense, counsel with respect to the defense of a claim. Each indemnified
party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an indemnifying party may reasonably request
in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

 

(d)        If an indemnifying party does
not, or is not permitted to, assume the defense of an action pursuant to Section 5.4, or in the case of the expense reimbursement
obligation set forth in Sections 5.4(a) and (b), the indemnification required by Sections 5.4(a) and (b)
shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills received
or expenses, losses, damages, or liabilities are incurred.

 

(e)        If the indemnification provided
for in Sections 5.4(a) and (b) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party
with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying
such indemnified party hereunder, shall (i) contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such
loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as is appropriate to reflect the proportionate relative fault of the indemnifying party
on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other (determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or omission relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party
and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement
or omission), or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law or provides a lesser sum
to the indemnified party than the amount hereinafter calculated, not only the proportionate relative fault of the indemnifying
party and the indemnified party, but also the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified
party on the other, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No indemnified party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any indemnifying party who was
not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

(f)        Notwithstanding the foregoing,
to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection
with an underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement
shall control.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

5.5         Cooperation.
Each Purchaser agrees as a condition to the inclusion of such Purchaser’s Warrant Shares in a Registration Statement, to
provide the Company promptly with such information as the Company, on advice of its counsel, may reasonably request in order to
fulfill its disclosure and reporting obligations under applicable laws, rules and regulations. Each Purchaser acknowledges that
the information provided may be disclosed in the Registration Statement.

Miscellaneous

 

6.1        Termination.
This SPA may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever
on the obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other parties, if the Initial Closing
has not been consummated on or before April 30, 2013; provided, however, that such termination will not affect the
right of any party to sue for any breach by any other party (or parties).

 

6.2        Fees and
Expenses. Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses
of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the

6.3        Entire Agreement.
The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with

then outstanding or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought. No
waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this SPA shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver
in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall
any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

 

6.6       Gender/Headings.

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

 

6.8        No Third-Party
Beneficiaries. This SPA is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns
and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in
Section 4.8 and this Section 6.8.

 

6.9        Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall
be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the
principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement
and defense of the transactions contemplated by this SPA and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto
or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively
in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder
or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement
of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding,
any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper
or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents
to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight
delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this SPA and agrees that such
service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to
limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If either party shall commence an action, suit
or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then, in addition to the obligations of the Company under
Section 4.8, the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable

or proceeding.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

    	 

    	 

    

  

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

6.18      
Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction
Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any
way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing
contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall
be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or
create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and
enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this SPA or out of the other Transaction
Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for
such purpose. Each Purchaser has been, or has had the opportunity to be, represented by its own separate legal counsel in its
review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms
and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of
the Purchasers.

 

    	 

    	 

    

  

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

 

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

 

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

 

6.22      Construction.
The parties agree that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities in the SPA are to be resolved against
the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this SPA and Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto.
In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to
adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common
Stock that occur after the date of this SPA.

 

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

FORM OF NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

 

THIS NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
(“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of [], by and between Armada Oil, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the
“Company”), and [] (“Recipient”):

 

In consideration of the covenants herein
set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

		1.	Option Grant

is being entered into in conjunction with that Employment Agreement dated as of October 11, 2012 (the “Employment Agreement”),
entered into between Company and Recipient. All capitalized but undefined terms used herein shall have the meaning set forth in
the Employment Agreement.

 

		(b)	The Board has this day approved the granting of this Option subject to the execution and delivery of this Agreement;

 

		(c)	The Board has authorized the granting to Recipient of a non-statutory stock option (“Option”) to purchase
[] shares (the “Option Shares”) of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) upon the
terms and conditions hereinafter stated and pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”);

 

		(d)	This Agreement is further subject to the Company’s 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

 

		3.	Option Shares; Price.

 

The Company hereby grants to Recipient the
right to purchase, upon and subject to the terms and conditions herein stated, the Option Shares for cash (or other consideration
as is authorized hereunder) at the price per Option Share set forth in Section 1 above (the “Exercise Price”),
such price being not less than 100% of the fair market value per share of the Option Shares covered by this Option as of the date
of grant. For purposes of the Options, the “fair market value” of the Company’s common stock is the closing price
of the common stock as quoted on the OTC Markets Group Inc. QB tier (the “OTCQB”) on [].

 

		4.	Term of Options; Continuation of Employment.

 

Subject to the early termination provisions
set forth in Sections 7 and 8 of this Agreement, these Options shall expire, and all rights hereunder to purchase the Option
Shares shall terminate 5 years from the date upon which the Option Shares vest. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to
interfere in any way with the right of the Company, or its shareholders, or the Board, to remove or not elect Recipient as an officer
and or a director of the Company, or to increase or decrease the compensation of Directors from the rate in effect at the date
hereof.

 

		5.	Vesting of Option.

 

Subject to the provisions of Sections
7 and 8 of this Agreement, and the provisions of the Employment Agreement, these Options shall vest and become exercisable
during the term that Recipient serves in the Company/Recipient Relationship as follows: [ ]

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

All determinations and calculations
with respect to the satisfaction of the conditions to the vesting of any of the foregoing options shall be made by the Board or
any committee thereof to which the Board has delegated such authority, in good faith in accordance with applicable law, the Articles
of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company, in its sole discretion, and shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons,
including you and the personal representative of your estate.

 

		6.	Exercise.

 

(a) These Options shall be exercised, as
to the vested shares, by delivery to the Company of (a) written notice of exercise stating the number of Option Shares being purchased
(in whole shares only) and such other information set forth on the form of Notice of Exercise attached hereto as Exhibit
A hereto, (b) a check or cash in the amount of the Exercise Price of the Option Shares covered by the notice, unless Recipient
elects to exercise the cashless exercise option set forth in Section 6(b) below, in which case no payment will be required
(or such other consideration as has been approved by the Board of Directors consistent with the Plan). These Options shall are
not assignable or transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable only by Recipient
during his or her lifetime.

 

(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
to the extent and only to the extent vested, the Options may also be exercised (as to the Option Shares vested) at such time by
means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Recipient shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number
of Option Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing:

 

[(A-B) (X)] by (A),
where:

 

(A) equals the average of the closing
price of the Company’s Common Stock, as reported (in order of priority) on the Trading Market on which the Company’s
Common Stock is then listed or quoted for trading on the Trading Date preceding the date of the election to exercise; or, if the
Company’s Common Stock is not then listed or traded on a Trading Market, then the fair market value of a share of Common
Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Recipient and the Company, the fees and expenses
of which shall be paid by the Company for the three (3) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of such election;

 

(B) equals the Exercise Price of
the Option, as adjusted from time to time in accordance herewith; and

 

(X) equals the number of vested Option
Shares issuable upon exercise of these Options in accordance with the terms of the Options by means of a cash exercise rather than
a cashless exercise (or, if the Option is being exercised only as to a portion of the shares as to which it has vested, the portion
of the Options being exercised at the time the cashless exercise is made pursuant to this Section 6).

 

For purposes of this Agreement:

 

“Trading Day” means a
day on which the Common Stock is traded on a Trading Market.

 

“Trading Market” means,
in order of priority, the following markets or exchanges on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date
in question: the American Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market,
the New York Stock Exchange, the OTCQB or the Pink Sheets.

 

(c) No fractional shares shall be issued
upon exercise of this Option. The Company shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, pay the Recipient entitled a sum in cash
equal to such fraction multiplied by the then effective Exercise Price.

 

		7.	Termination of Service.

 

If the Recipient’s services as an
employee are terminated by either the Company or the Recipient, other than “For Cause,” as defined in the Employment
Agreement, the Company agrees that all unvested Options shall immediately vest and that all vested Options may continue to be exercised
until 5:00pm New York on the date of the second anniversary of the termination date of the Recipient’s services (the “Termination
Date”).

 

    	 

    	 

    

  

		8.	Death of Recipient.

 

If the Recipient shall die during the term
of service to the Company, Recipient’s personal representative or the person entitled to Recipient’s rights hereunder
may at any time within the then remaining exercise period, exercise this Option and purchase Option Shares to the extent, but only
to the extent, that Recipient could have exercised this Option as of the date of Recipient’s death; following the expiration
of the aforesaid then remaining exercise period, this Agreement shall terminate in its entirety and be of no further force or effect.

 

		9.	No Rights as Shareholder.

 

Recipient shall have no rights as a shareholder
with respect to the Option Shares covered by any installment of this Option until the effective date of issuance of the Option
Shares following the exercise of this Option, and no adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights for which the record
date is prior to the date such stock certificate or certificates.

 

		10.	Recapitalization.

 

(a) Subdivision or consolidation of shares.
Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, the number of Option Shares covered by this Option, and the
Exercise Price thereof, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares resulting
from a subdivision or consolidation of shares or the payment of a stock dividend, or any other increase or decrease in the number
of such shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided however that the conversion of any convertible
securities of the Company shall not be deemed having been “effected without receipt of consideration by the Company.”

 

(b) Reorganizations, Mergers etc.

 

(i) In the event of a proposed dissolution
or liquidation of the Company, a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving entity, or a sale of all or
substantially all of the assets or capital stock of the Company (collectively, a “Reorganization”):

 

(1) then, subject to Clause (b)(ii) below,
any and all shares as to which the Option had not yet vested shall vest upon the date (the “Reorganization Vesting Date”)
that the Company provides the Recipient with the Reorganization Notice (as defined below); and provided, however,
that there has been no termination of the Recipient’s services, Recipient shall have the right to exercise this Option to
the extent of all shares subject to the Option, for a period commencing on the Reorganization Vesting Date and terminating on the
date of the consummation of such Reorganization. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Company. The Option shall terminate upon the
consummation of the Reorganization and may not be exercised thereafter as to any shares subject thereto. The Company shall notify
Recipient in writing (the “Reorganization Notice”), at least 30 days prior to the consummation of such Reorganization,
of its intention to consummate a Reorganization.

 

(2) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
the exercise of the Option or any portion thereof pursuant to this Section 10(b) will be consummated simultaneously with
the consummation of the Reorganization. If after the Company provides the Reorganization Notice to the Recipient the Company provides
the Recipient with a further written notice notifying the Recipient that the Reorganization will not be consummated, then the Option
will return to its status prior to the Reorganization Notice and the shares as to which the Option vested solely by virtue of this
Section 10(b) (i) will revert to an unvested status.

 

(ii) Subject to any required action by the
shareholders of the Company, if the Company shall be the surviving entity in any merger or consolidation, these Options thereafter
shall pertain to and apply to the securities to which a Recipient of Option Shares equal to the Option Shares subject to these
Options would have been entitled by reason of such merger or consolidation, and the installment provisions of Section 5
shall continue to apply.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

(iii) In the event of a change in the shares
of the Company as presently constituted, which is limited to a change of all of its authorized Stock without par value into the
same number of shares of Stock with a par value, the shares resulting from any such change shall be deemed to be the Option Shares
within the meaning of these Options.

 

(iv) To the extent that the foregoing adjustments
relate to shares or securities of the Company, such adjustments shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect
shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as hereinbefore expressly provided, Recipient shall have no rights by reason of
any subdivision or consolidation of shares of Stock of any class or the payment of any stock dividend or any other increase or
decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class, and the number and price of Option Shares subject to this Option shall
not be affected by, and no adjustments shall be made by reason of, any dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation or sale
of assets or capital stock, or any issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class or securities convertible into shares of
stock of any class.

 

(v) The grant of these Options shall not
affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes in its capital
or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve or liquidate or to sell or transfer all or any part of its business or
assets.

 

		11.	Taxation upon Exercise of Option.

 

Recipient understands that, upon exercise
of these Options, Recipient may recognize income, for Federal and state income tax purposes, in an amount equal to the amount by
which the fair market value of the Option Shares, determined as of the date of exercise, exceeds the Exercise Price. The acceptance
of the Option Shares by Recipient shall constitute an agreement by Recipient to report such income in accordance with then applicable
law and to cooperate with Company in establishing the amount of such income and corresponding deduction to the Company for its
income tax purposes. Withholding for federal or state income and employment tax purposes will be made, if and as required by law,
from Recipient’s then current compensation, or, if such current compensation is insufficient to satisfy withholding tax liability,
the Company may require Recipient to make a cash payment to cover such liability as a condition of the exercise of these Options.

 

		12.	Modification, Extension and Renewal of Options.

 

The Board or a duly appointed committee
thereof, may modify, extend or renew this Option or accept the surrender thereof (to the extent not theretofore exercised) and
authorize the granting of a new option in substitution therefore (to the extent not theretofore exercised), subject at all times
to the Code and applicable securities laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12, no modification
shall, without the consent of the Recipient, alter to the Recipient’s detriment or impair any rights of Recipient hereunder.

 

		13.	Investment Intent; Restrictions on Transfer.

 

Unless and until the Option Shares represented
by this Option are registered under the Securities Act,

 

(a) all certificates representing the Option
Shares and any certificates subsequently issued in substitution therefore and any certificate for any securities issued pursuant
to any stock split, share reclassification, stock dividend or other similar capital event shall bear legends in substantially the
following form:

 

“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED OR OTHERWISE QUALIFIED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE ‘SECURITIES ACT’) OR UNDER THE APPLICABLE OR
SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE
DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, UNLESS PURSUANT
TO EXEMPTIONS THEREFROM.

 

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE
HAVE BEEN ISSUED PURSUANT TO THAT CERTAIN NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT DATED [ ] BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE ISSUEE WHICH
RESTRICTS THE TRANSFER OF THESE SHARES WHICH ARE SUBJECT TO REPURCHASE BY THE COMPANY UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS.”

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

and/or such other legend or legends as the Company and its counsel
deem necessary or appropriate. Appropriate stop transfer instructions with respect to the Option Shares have been placed with the
Company’s transfer agent.

 

(b) Recipient represents and agrees that
if Recipient exercises this Option in whole or in part, Recipient will in each case acquire the Option Shares upon such exercise
for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof; and that upon
such exercise of this Option in whole or in part Recipient (or any person or persons entitled to exercise this Option under the
provisions of Sections 7 and 8 of this Agreement) shall furnish to the Company a written statement to such effect, satisfactory
to the Company in form and substance. If the Option Shares represented this Option are registered under the Securities Act, either
before or after the exercise this Option in whole or in part, the Recipient shall be relieved of the foregoing investment representation
and agreement and shall not be required to furnish the Company with the foregoing written statement.

 

14.        Stand-off Agreement. Recipient
agrees that, in connection with any registration of the Company’s securities under the Securities Act, and upon the request
of the Company or any underwriter managing an underwritten offering of the Company’s securities, Recipient shall not sell,
short any sale of, loan, grant an option for, or otherwise dispose of any of the Option Shares (other than Option Shares included
in the offering) without the prior written consent of the Company or such managing underwriter, as applicable, for a period (the
“Restrictive Period”) as may be specified by the Company or such underwriter or managing underwriter;
provided, however, that the Restrictive Period shall not exceed one year following the effective date
of registration of such offering.

 

15.       Construction. You and the
Company have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent
or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by you and the Company and no presumption or
burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The word “including” shall mean including without limitation.
Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter
