For purposes of
this letter agreement, “Change of Control” means the consummation of any bona fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidation
or other similar transaction approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, the result of which is that any “person” (as
defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), or group of persons, other than the Company or its subsidiaries, becomes the beneficial
owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Exchange Act) of at least a majority of the voting power of the voting stock of the
Company (or the surviving entity), provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Offering and the consummation of the
private placement pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) shall not constitute a Change
of Control for purposes of this definition, and “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption,
not more remote than first cousin.

 

The undersigned
acknowledges that the execution, delivery and performance of this letter agreement is a material inducement to each Underwriter to perform
under the Underwriting Agreement and that each Underwriter (which shall be a third party beneficiary of this letter agreement) and the
Company shall be entitled to specific performance of the undersigned’s obligations hereunder. The undersigned hereby represents
that the undersigned has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this letter agreement, that the undersigned has received
adequate consideration therefor and that the undersigned will indirectly benefit from the closing of the transactions contemplated by
the Underwriting Agreement.

 

The obligations
of the undersigned under the terms and conditions of this letter agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other
holder of any Securities (each, an “Other Holder”), and the undersigned shall not be responsible in any way for the
performance of the obligations of any Other Holder under any such other agreement. Nothing contained in this letter agreement, and no
action taken by the undersigned pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the undersigned and Other Holders as a partnership, an
association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the undersigned and the Other Holders are in any
way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this letter agreement and the
Company acknowledges that the undersigned and the Other Holders are not acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations
or the transactions contemplated by this letter agreement or any other agreement. The Company and the undersigned confirm that the undersigned

such purpose.

or proceeding, any claim that (i) it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court, (ii) the suit, action or proceeding
is brought in an inconvenient forum, or (iii) the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. The undersigned hereby waives any

sale of the Securities is created or intended by virtue of this letter agreement.
