in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, and the Investor has the obligation to purchase from the Company, Purchase Shares
as follows: 

(a)
Commencement of Regular Purchases of Common Stock. Upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 7
and 8 hereof (the “Commencement” and the date of satisfaction of such conditions the “Commencement
Date”) and thereafter, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to direct the Investor, by its delivery to
the Investor of a Purchase Notice from time to time on any Regular Purchase Date, to purchase up to the Regular Purchase Share Limit
(each such purchase, a “Regular Purchase”) at ninety-eight and seventy-five hundredths percent (98.75%) of the lesser
of: (i) the lowest Sale Price of the Common Stock on the applicable Regular Purchase Date and (ii) the arithmetic average of the three
(3) lowest Closing Sale Prices for the Common Stock during the ten (10) consecutive Business Days ending on the Business Day immediately
preceding such Regular Purchase Date (the “Purchase Price”). The Company may deliver a Purchase Notice to the Investor

a Purchase Notice delivered on a day that is not a Business Day shall be deemed to have been delivered on the most recent Business Day
prior to delivery of such Purchase Notice. 

(b)
Accelerated Purchases. On any Regular Purchase Date, provided that the Company properly submitted a Purchase Notice for
a Regular Purchase for a number of Purchase Shares not less than the Regular Purchase Share Limit then in effect on such Regular Purchase
Date and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company shall also have the right, but not the obligation, to direct
the Investor, by its delivery to the Investor of a Purchase Notice from time to time in accordance with this Agreement, to purchase the
applicable Accelerated Purchase Share Amount (each such purchase, an “Accelerated Purchase”) at ninety-six percent

Accelerated Purchase Price for such Accelerated Purchase.

(c)
Additional Accelerated Purchases.  On any Accelerated Purchase Date, provided that the Company properly submitted
a Purchase Notice for an Accelerated Purchase and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company shall also have
the right, but not the obligation, to direct the Investor, by its delivery to the Investor of a Purchase Notice from time to time in
accordance with this Agreement, to purchase the applicable Accelerated Purchase Share Amount (each such purchase, an “Additional
Accelerated Purchase”) at the Accelerated Purchase Price. The Company may deliver Purchase Notices to the Investor for multiple

(d)
Payment for Purchase Shares.    For each Regular Purchase, the Investor shall pay to the Company an amount equal
to the Purchase Amount with respect to such Regular Purchase as full payment for such Purchase Shares via
wire transfer of immediately available funds on the same Business Day that the Investor receives such Purchase Shares, if such Purchase
Shares are received by the Investor before 1:00 p.m., Eastern time, or, if such Purchase Shares are received by the Investor after 1:00
p.m., Eastern time, the next Business Day. Within one (1) Business Day after completion of each Accelerated Purchase Date for an Accelerated
Purchase or Additional Accelerated Purchase, respectively, the Investor will provide to the Company a written confirmation of such Accelerated
Purchase setting forth the applicable Accelerated Purchase Share Amount and Accelerated Purchase Price for such purchase. For each Accelerated
Purchase and each Additional Accelerated Purchase, the Investor shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the Purchase Amount with
respect to such purchase as full payment for such Purchase Shares via wire transfer of immediately available funds no later than the
second Business Day following the date that the Investor receives the Purchase Shares for such Purchase. If the Company or the Transfer
Agent shall fail for any reason or for no reason to electronically transfer any Purchase Shares as DWAC Shares with respect to any Purchase
within two (2) Business Days following the receipt by the Company of the Purchase Price or Accelerated Purchase Price, as applicable,
for any Purchase therefor in compliance with this Section 2(d), and if on or after such Business Day the Investor purchases (in
an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Investor of Purchase Shares
in anticipation of receiving Purchase Shares from the Company with respect to such Purchase, then the Company shall, within two (2) Business
Days after the Investor’s request, either (i) pay cash to the Investor in an amount equal to the Investor’s total purchase
price (including customary brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Cover Price”),
at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such Purchase Shares as DWAC Shares shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor
its obligation to deliver to the Investor such Purchase Shares as DWAC Shares and pay cash to the Investor in an amount equal to the
excess (if any) of the Cover Price over the total Purchase Amount paid by the Investor pursuant to this Agreement for all of the Purchase
Shares to be purchased by the Investor in connection with such purchases. All payments made under this Agreement shall be made in lawful
money of the United States of America or wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as the Company may from time to
time designate by written notice in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Whenever any amount
expressed to be due by the terms of this Agreement is due on any day that is not a Business Day, the same shall instead be due on the
next succeeding day that is a Business Day.

(e)
Compliance with Rules of the Principal Market. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, and in addition to the limitations set forth in Section 2(f),
the Company shall not issue more than 1,936,847 shares (including the Commitment Shares) of Common Stock (the “Exchange Cap”)
under this Agreement, which equals 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date hereof, unless stockholder
approval is obtained to issue in excess of the Exchange Cap; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply if at any
time the Exchange Cap is reached and at all times thereafter the average price paid for all shares of Common Stock issued under this
Agreement is equal to or greater than $4.90, which is a price equal to the lesser of (i) the Nasdaq Official Closing Price immediately
preceding the execution of this Agreement or (ii) the arithmetic average of the Nasdaq Official Closing Prices for the Common Stock for
the five (5) consecutive Business Days immediately preceding the execution of this Agreement, as calculated in accordance with the rules
of the Principal Market (in such circumstance, for purposes of the Principal Market, the transaction contemplated hereby would not be
“below market” and the Exchange Cap would not apply). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required or
permitted to issue, and the Investor shall not be required to purchase, any shares of Common Stock under this Agreement if such issuance
would violate the rules or regulations of the Principal Market. The Company may, in its sole discretion, determine whether to obtain
stockholder approval to issue more than 19.99% of its outstanding shares of Common Stock hereunder if such issuance would require stockholder
approval under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market. The Exchange Cap shall be reduced, on a share-for-share basis, by the
number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable that may be aggregated with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under
applicable rules of the Principal Market.

    	6 

    	 

    

 

 

(f)
Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not issue or sell, and the Investor shall not purchase or acquire,
any shares of Common Stock under this Agreement which, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned
by the Investor and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder)
would result in the beneficial ownership by the Investor and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). Upon the written or oral request of the Investor,
the Company shall promptly (but not later than twenty-four (24) hours) confirm orally or in writing to the Investor the amount of Common
Stock then outstanding. The Investor and the Company shall each cooperate in good faith in the determinations required hereby and the
application hereof. The Investor’s written certification to the Company of the applicability of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation,
and the resulting effect thereof hereunder at any time, shall be conclusive with respect to the applicability thereof and such result
absent manifest error.

(g)
Excess Share Limitations. If the Company delivers any Purchase Notice for a Purchase Amount in excess of the limitations
contained in this Section 2, such Purchase Notice shall be void ab initio to the extent of the amount by which the number
of Purchase Shares set forth in such Purchase Notice exceeds the number of Purchase Shares which the Company is permitted to include
in such Purchase Notice in accordance herewith, and the Investor shall have no obligation to purchase such excess Purchase Shares in
respect of such Purchase Notice; provided, however, that the Investor shall remain obligated to purchase the number of
Purchase Shares which the Company is permitted to include in such Purchase Notice. If the Company delivers a Purchase Notice, and all
Purchase Shares subject to all prior Purchases have not theretofore been received by the Investor as DWAC Shares in accordance with this
Agreement, such Purchase Notice shall not be deemed to have been delivered and the Investor shall not be required to purchase any Purchase
Shares until all Purchase Shares for such prior Purchases have been received by the Investor as DWAC Shares. If any issuance of Purchase
Shares would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round down such fraction of a share of
Common Stock to the nearest whole share and no fractional shares will be issued.

(h)
Adjustments for Shares and Prices. Except as specifically stated otherwise, all share-related and dollar-related limitations
contained in this Section 2, shall be adjusted to take into account any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock
split, reverse stock, split or other similar transaction effected with respect to the Common Stock.

laws and the rules and regulations of the Principal Market, the Company is not required to obtain any consent, Authorization or order
of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency or any regulatory or self-regulatory agency in order for
it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under or contemplated by the Transaction Documents in accordance with the terms

of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Documents prior to the expiration of any such extension. As of their respective dates,
the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable.
The SEC Documents, taken together, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents comply in all material respects with applicable
accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing.  Such
financial statements (i) have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on
a consistent basis during the periods involved (“GAAP”), except as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements
or the notes thereto and except that unaudited financial statements may not contain all footnotes required by GAAP, and (ii) fairly
present in all material respects the financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof
and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial,
year-end audit adjustments. Except as disclosed in the SEC documents or as publicly available through the SEC’s Electronic Data
Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system (EDGAR), or in connection with a confidential treatment request submitted to the SEC, the Company

to seek protection pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law nor does the Company or any of its Subsidiaries have any knowledge or reason to believe
that its creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings. The Company is
financially solvent and is generally able to pay its debts as they become due.

(h)
Absence of Litigation. Except as disclosed in the SEC documents, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation
before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the
Common Stock or any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, which would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(i)   Acknowledgment Regarding Investor’s Status. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Investor is acting
solely in the capacity of arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby. The Company further acknowledges that the Investor is not 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 hereby and thereby and any advice
given by the Investor or any of its representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby is merely incidental to the Investor’s purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to the Investor
that the Company’s decision to enter into the Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation by the
Company and its representatives and advisors.

(j)
No General Solicitation; No Aggregated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor 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 Securities Act) in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities. Neither the Company, nor or any of its affiliates, nor any
Person acting on 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 require registration of the offer and sale of any of the Securities under the Securities Act,
whether through integration with prior offerings or otherwise, or cause this offering of the Securities to be aggregated with prior offerings
by the Company in a manner that would require stockholder approval pursuant to the rules of the Principal Market on which any of the
securities of the Company are listed or designated. The issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder does not contravene the rules and
regulations of the Principal Market.

(k)
 Intellectual Property Rights. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, the Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess
adequate rights or licenses to use all material trademarks, trade names, service marks, service mark registrations, service names, patents,

their respective businesses as now conducted. None of the Company’s material trademarks, trade names, service marks, service mark
registrations, service names, patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions, licenses, approvals, government authorizations, trade secrets
or other intellectual property rights have expired or terminated, or, by the terms and conditions thereof, could expire or terminate
within two years from the date of this Agreement, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its Subsidiaries do not have any knowledge of any infringement by the Company or its Subsidiaries
of any material trademark, trade name rights, patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions, licenses, service names, service marks,
service mark registrations, trade secret or other similar rights of others, or of any such development of similar or identical trade
secrets or technical information by others, and there is no claim, action or proceeding being made or brought against, or to the Company’s
knowledge, being threatened against, the Company or its Subsidiaries regarding trademark, trade name, patents, patent rights, invention,
copyright, license, service names, service marks, service mark registrations, trade secret or other infringement, which would reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses
and (iii) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval, except where, in each of the three

business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all Liens and, except for Liens as do not materially affect
the value of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company
and its Subsidiaries and Liens for the payment of federal, state or other taxes, the payment of which is neither delinquent nor subject
to penalties and Liens that would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable
leases with which the Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere with
the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the Company and its Subsidiaries or would not reasonably be expected,
individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(n)
Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against
such losses and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which
the Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought
or applied for and neither the Company nor any such 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 at a cost that would not materially and adversely affect the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business
or operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(o)
Regulatory Permits. The Company and its Subsidiaries possess all material certificates,
authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their
respective businesses as currently conducted, and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings
relating to the revocation or modification of any such material certificate, authorization
or permit except in the case of each of the two foregoing clauses, as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(p)
Tax Status. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has made or filed all federal, state,
local or foreign income and all other material tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject
or otherwise filed timely extensions (unless and only to the extent that the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has set aside on its
books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all unpaid and unreported taxes) and 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, except
those being contested in good faith and has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods
subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply.

Date all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including
any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Articles of Incorporation or the laws of
the state of its incorporation which is or could become applicable to the Investor as a result of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, including, without limitation, the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the Investor’s ownership of the Securities.

Documents or any other agreements to be entered into by the Company and the Investor that, in each case, which shall be timely publicly
disclosed by the Company, the Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided the Investor or
its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information
which is not otherwise disclosed in the SEC Documents. The Company understands and confirms that the Investor will rely on the foregoing
representation in effecting purchases and sales of securities of the Company. All of the disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the
Company to the Investor regarding the Company, its business and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the disclosure schedules
to this Agreement, is true and correct in and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
The press releases disseminated by the Company during the twelve (12) months preceding the date of this Agreement taken as a whole do

to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made and when made, not misleading. The Company acknowledges
and agrees that the Investor neither makes nor has made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 3 hereof.

any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any director,

prior to the filing of it with the SEC, and the Company shall not file the Registration Statement with the SEC in a form to which the
Investor reasonably objects. The Investor shall use its reasonable best efforts to comment upon the final pre-filing draft version of
the Registration Statement within one (1) Business Day from the date the Investor receives it from the Company.

(b)
Blue Sky. The Company shall take all such action, if any, as is reasonably necessary in order to obtain an exemption for
or to register or qualify (i) the issuance of the Commitment Shares and the sale of the Purchase Shares to the Investor under this Agreement
and (ii) any subsequent resale of all Securities by the Investor, in each case, under applicable securities or “Blue Sky”
laws of the states of the United States in such states as is reasonably requested by the Investor from time to time, and shall provide
evidence of any such action so taken to the Investor.

(c)
Listing/DTC. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of all of the Securities to be issued to the Investor hereunder
on the Principal Market (subject to official notice of issuance) and upon each other national securities exchange or automated quotation
system, if any, upon which the Common Stock is then listed, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain, so long as any
shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all such Securities from time to time issuable hereunder. The Company shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the listing of the Common Stock on the Principal Market and shall comply in all respects
with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules and regulations of the Principal Market.
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action that would reasonably be expected to result in the delisting or
suspension of the Common Stock on the Principal Market. The Company shall promptly, and in no event later than the following Business
Day, provide to the Investor copies of any notices it receives from the Principal Market regarding the continued eligibility of the Common
Stock for listing on the Principal Market; provided, however, that the Company shall not provide the Investor copies of any such notice
that the Company reasonably believes constitutes material non-public information and that the Company would not be required to publicly
disclose such notice in any report or statement filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act (including on Form 8-K) or the Securities Act.
The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section 5(c). The Company
shall take all action necessary to ensure that its Common Stock can be transferred electronically as DWAC Shares.

(d)
Prohibition of Short Sales and Hedging Transactions. The Investor agrees that beginning on the date of this Agreement and
ending on the date of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 11, the Investor and its agents, representatives and
affiliates shall not in any manner whatsoever enter into or effect, directly or indirectly, any (i) “short sale” (as such
term is defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO of the Exchange Act) of the Common Stock or (ii) hedging transaction, which establishes
a net short position with respect to the Common Stock.

(e)
Issuance of Commitment Shares. In consideration for the Investor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
Company shall cause to be issued to the Investor a total of 57,313 shares of Common Stock (the “Commitment
Shares”) and shall deliver to the Transfer Agent the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions with respect to the issuance of
such Commitment Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, all of the Commitment Shares shall be fully earned as of the date of this Agreement,
whether or not the Commencement shall occur or any Purchase Shares are purchased by the Investor under this Agreement and irrespective
of any subsequent termination of this Agreement.

(f)   
Due Diligence; Non-Public Information. During the term of this Agreement, the Investor shall have the right, from time
to time as the Investor may reasonably deem appropriate, and upon reasonable advance notice to the Company, to perform reasonable due
diligence on the Company during normal business hours. The Company and its officers and employees shall provide information and reasonably
cooperate with the Investor in connection with any reasonable request by the Investor related to the Investor’s due diligence of
the Company. Each party hereto agrees not to disclose any Confidential Information of the other party to any third party and shall not
use the Confidential Information for any purpose other than in connection with, or in furtherance of, the transactions contemplated hereby.
Each party hereto acknowledges that the Confidential Information shall remain the property of the disclosing party and agrees that it
shall take all reasonable measures to protect the secrecy of any Confidential Information disclosed by the other party. The
receiving party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent such information is required to be disclosed by law, regulation or
order of a court of competent jurisdiction or regulatory authority, provided that the receiving party shall promptly notify the disclosing
party when such requirement to disclose arises, and shall cooperate with the disclosing party so as to enable the disclosing party to:
(i) seek an appropriate protective order; and (ii) make any applicable claim of confidentiality in respect of such Confidential Information;
and provided, further, that the receiving party shall disclose Confidential Information only to the extent required by the protective
order or other similar order, if such an order is obtained, and, if no such order is obtained, the receiving party shall disclose only
the minimum amount of such Confidential Information required to be disclosed in order to comply with the applicable law, regulation or
order. In addition, any such Confidential Information disclosed pursuant to this Section 5(f) shall continue to be deemed Confidential
Information. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated to provide the Investor with
any information that constitutes or may reasonably be considered to constitute material, non-public information pursuant to a request
for information hereunder, and the Company and the Investor agree that neither the Company nor any other Person acting on its behalf
shall provide the Investor or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes or may reasonably be considered to constitute
material, non-public information, unless a simultaneous public announcement thereof is made by the Company in the manner contemplated
by Regulation FD under the Exchange Act. In the event of a breach of the foregoing covenant by the Company or any Person acting on its
behalf (as determined in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Investor), in addition to any other remedy provided herein or in the
other Transaction Documents, if the Investor is holding any Securities at the time of the disclosure of such material non-public information,
the Investor shall have the right to make a public disclosure, in the form of a press release, public advertisement or otherwise, of
such material, non-public information without the prior approval by the Company; provided the Investor shall have first provided notice
to the Company that it believes, based on the advice of external counsel, it has received information that constitutes material, non-public
information, the Company shall have at least two Business Days from such notice to either publicly disclose such material, non-public
information or to demonstrate to the Investor that such information does not constitute material, non-public information (assuming the
Investor and the Investor’s counsel disagree in their reasonable good faith judgment with the Company’s determination) prior
to any such disclosure by the Investor and the Company shall have failed to publicly disclose such material, non-public information.
The Investor shall not have any liability to the Company, or any of its directors, officers, employees, stockholders or agents, for any
such disclosure. The Company understands and confirms that the Investor shall be relying on the foregoing covenants in effecting transactions
in securities of the Company.

    	19 

    	 

    

 

 

(g)
 Purchase Records. The Investor and the Company shall each maintain records showing the remaining Available Amount at any
given time and the dates and Purchase Amounts for each Regular Purchase, Accelerated Purchase and Additional
Accelerated Purchase or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Investor and the Company. 

(h)
Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp or similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance
and delivery of any shares of Common Stock to the Investor made under this Agreement.

(i)  No Aggregation. From and after the date of this Agreement, neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates will, and the
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that no Person acting on their behalf will, directly or indirectly, make any
offers or sales of any security or solicit any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the
Securities by the Company to the Investor to be aggregated with other offerings by the Company in a manner that would require stockholder
approval pursuant to the rules of the Principal Market on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated unless
stockholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction in accordance with the rules of such Principal Market.

(j) Use
of Proceeds. The Company will use the net proceeds from the offering for any corporate purpose at the sole discretion of the
Company.

(k)
Other Transactions. During the term of this Agreement, the Company shall not enter into, announce or recommend to its stockholders
any agreement, plan, arrangement or transaction in or of which the terms thereof would restrict, materially delay, conflict with or impair
the ability or right of the Company to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, the obligation
of the Company to deliver the Securities to the Investor in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents.

(l) No
Integration. From and after the date of this Agreement, neither the Company, nor or any of its affiliates will, and the Company
shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that no Person acting on their behalf will, directly or indirectly, make any offers
or sales of any security or solicit any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require registration of the offer
and sale of any of the Securities under the Securities Act.

(m)  Limitation on Variable Rate Transactions. From and after the date of this Agreement until
the thirty-six (36) month anniversary of the date of this Agreement (irrespective of any earlier termination of this Agreement), the
Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
of Common Stock involving a Variable Rate Transaction other than with the Investor. “Variable Rate Transaction” means
an “equity line of credit” or substantially similar transaction whereby an investor is irrevocably bound to purchase securities
over a period of time from the Company at a price based on the market price of the Company’s Common Stock at the time of each such
purchase, provided, however, that this Section 5(m) shall not be deemed to prohibit the issuance and sale of Common Stock pursuant to
an “at-the-market offering” by the Company exclusively through a registered broker-dealer acting as agent of the Company
pursuant to a written agreement between the Company and such registered broker-dealer. 

    	20 

    	 

    

 

 

(n)
Publicity. The Company shall afford the Investor and its counsel with the opportunity to review and comment upon, shall
consult with the Investor and its counsel on the form and substance of, and shall give due consideration to all such comments from the
Investor or its counsel on, disclosure that is part of any press release, SEC filing or any other public disclosure by or on behalf of
the Company that identifies the Investor, describes its purchases hereunder or summarizes any aspect of the Transaction Documents or
the transactions contemplated thereby, not less than twenty-four (24) hours prior to the issuance, filing or public disclosure thereof;
provided that (i) the Company shall not be required to provide to the Investor any press release, SEC filing or any other public
disclosure that solely discloses the number of shares sold to the Investor and the amounts paid by the Investor for such shares and (ii)
the Company shall not be required to provide to the Investor any disclosures that are materially similar to those previously reviewed
by the Investor. The Investor must be provided with a substantially final version of any such disclosure that relates to the Investor,
at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to any release, filing or use by the Company thereof.

SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED
OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED,
OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO: (1) RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
AS AMENDED, OR (2) AN OPINION OF HOLDER’S COUNSEL, IN A CUSTOMARY FORM, THAT REGISTRATION
IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

On the earlier of (i) the date the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC and (ii) such time that the Investor
shall request, provided all conditions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act are met, the Company shall, no later than two (2) Business
Days following the delivery by the Investor to the Company or the Transfer Agent of one or more legended certificates or book-entry statements
representing the Commitment Shares (which certificates or book-entry statements the Investor shall promptly deliver on or prior to the
first to occur of the events described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence), as directed by the Investor, issue and deliver (or
cause to be issued and delivered) to the Investor, as requested by the Investor, either: (A) a certificate
or book-entry statement representing such Commitment Shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends or (B) a number of shares
of Common Stock equal to the number of Commitment Shares represented by the certificate(s) or book-entry statement(s) so delivered by
the Investor as DWAC Shares. The Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes
of the immediately preceding sentence, including, without limitation, delivering all such legal opinions, consents, certificates, resolutions
and instructions to the Transfer Agent, and any successor transfer agent of the Company, as may be reasonably requested from time to
time by the Investor or necessary or desirable to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes 

    	21 

    	 

    

 

of
the immediately preceding sentence. On the Commencement Date, the Company shall issue to the Transfer Agent, and any subsequent transfer
agent, (i) irrevocable instructions in the form substantially similar to those used by the Investor in substantially similar transactions
(the “Commencement Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”) and (ii) the notice of effectiveness of the Registration
Statement in a form acceptable to the Transfer Agent (the “Notice of Effectiveness of Registration Statement”), in
each case to issue the Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. All Purchase
Shares to be issued from and after the Commencement Date to the Investor pursuant to this Agreement shall be issued only as DWAC Shares.
The Company represents and warrants to the Investor that, while this Agreement is effective, no instruction other than the Commencement
Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions and the Notice of Effectiveness of Registration Statement referred to in this Section 6(b) will
be given by the Company to the Transfer Agent with respect to the Commitment Shares, or any of the Purchase Shares covered by the Registration
Statement from and after Commencement, and the Commitment Shares and the Purchase Shares covered by the Registration Statement shall
otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company. The Company agrees that if the Company fails to fully comply
with the provisions of this Section 6(b) within five (5) Business Days of the Investor providing the deliveries referred to above, the
Company shall, at the Investor’s written instruction, purchase such shares of Common Stock containing the Restrictive Legend from
the Investor at the greater of the (i) purchase price paid for such shares of Common Stock and (ii) the Closing Sale Price of the Common
Stock on the date of the Investor’s written instruction.

		9.	INDEMNIFICATION.

In
consideration of the Investor’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities hereunder and
in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify
and hold harmless the Investor and all of its affiliates, officers, directors, members, managers, employees and direct or indirect investors
and any of the foregoing Person’s agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all
actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith
(irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising
out of or relating to: (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in the Transaction Documents
or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation
of the Company contained in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby
or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee and arising out of or resulting from the execution,
delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby
or thereby other than, in the case of clause (c), with respect to Indemnified Liabilities which
directly and primarily result from the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnitee. The indemnity in this Section
9 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of
the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by
the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each
of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within thirty
(30) days from the date the Indemnitee makes written request for it. A certificate containing reasonable detail as to the amount of such
indemnification submitted to the Company by the Indemnitee shall be conclusive evidence, absent manifest error, of the amount due from
the Company to the Indemnitee; provided that the Indemnitee shall undertake to repay any amounts paid to it hereunder if it is ultimately
determined, by a final and non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified
against such Indemnified Liabilities by the Company pursuant to this Agreement. If any action shall be brought against any Indemnitee
in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnitee 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 Indemnitee.
Any Indemnitee 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 Indemnitee, 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 such separate counsel, a material
conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Indemnitee, in which case the Company shall
be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel.

		10.	EVENTS
                                            OF DEFAULT.

In
addition to any other rights and remedies under applicable law and this Agreement, so long as an “Event of Default” has occurred
and is continuing, or if any event that, after notice and/or lapse of time, would reasonably be expected to become an Event of Default,
has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall not deliver to the Investor any Purchase Notice, and the Investor shall not purchase
any shares of Common Stock under this Agreement. An “Event of Default” shall be deemed to have occurred at any time as any

(10) consecutive Business Days or for more than an aggregate of thirty (30) Business
Days in any 365-day period, but excluding a lapse or unavailability where (i) the Company terminates
the Registration Statement after the Investor has confirmed in writing that all of the Securities covered thereby have been resold or
(ii) the Company supersedes the Registration Statement with a New Registration Statement, including (without limitation) when the Registration
Statement is effectively replaced with a New Registration Statement covering Securities (provided in the case of this clause (ii) that

to any of the foregoing); 

(d)
the failure for any reason by the Transfer Agent to issue Purchase Shares to the Investor by the second Business Day after the
applicable Regular Purchase Date or Accelerated Purchase Date (as applicable) on which the Investor is entitled to receive such Purchase
Shares;

(e)
the Company breaches any representation, warranty, covenant or other term or condition under any Transaction Document if such
breach could have a Material Adverse Effect and except, in the case of a breach of a covenant which is reasonably curable, only if such
breach continues for a period of at least five (5) Business Days;

(h)
a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that (i) is for relief against the Company
in an involuntary case, (ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company or for all or substantially all of its property, or (iii) orders the
liquidation of the Company; 

(i)
if at any time the Company is not eligible to transfer its Common Stock electronically as DWAC Shares; or

if at any time after the Commencement Date, the Exchange Cap is reached (to the extent the Exchange Cap is applicable pursuant to Section
2(e) hereof) and the Company’s stockholders have not approved the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in
accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Principal Market.

This
Agreement may be terminated only as follows:

If pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law, the Company commences a voluntary case or any Person commences a proceeding
against the Company, a Custodian is appointed for the Company or for all or substantially all of its property, or the Company makes a
general assignment for the benefit of its creditors (any of which would be an Event of Default as described in Sections 10(f),

as set forth below) without further action or notice by any Person. 

(b)
In the event that the Commencement shall not have occurred on or before December 15, 2022 due to the failure to satisfy the conditions

(except as set forth below); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11(b) shall not
be available to any party if such party is then in breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any representation
or warranty of such party contained in this Agreement fails to be true and correct such that the conditions set forth in Section 7(d)

(c)
At any time after the Commencement Date, the Company shall have the option to terminate this Agreement for any reason or for no

shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further
exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
(this “Agreement”), dated as of August 10, 2022, is made by and between DOLPHIN ENTERTAINMENT, INC., a Florida
corporation (the “Company”), and LINCOLN PARK CAPITAL FUND, LLC, an Illinois
limited liability company (together with its permitted assigns, the “Buyer”). Capitalized
terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement by and between
the parties hereto, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Purchase
Agreement”).

 

WHEREAS:

 

A.  Upon
the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, (i) the Company has agreed to issue to the Investor, and the Investor
has agreed to purchase, up to Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.015 per
share (the “Common Stock”), pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (such shares, the “Purchase Shares”),
and (ii) the Company has agreed to issue to the Investor 57,313 shares of Common Stock as is required pursuant to the Purchase Agreement
(the “Commitment Shares”); and

 

B.  To
induce the Investor to enter into the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide certain registration rights under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, or any similar successor statute (collectively, the “Securities
Act”), and applicable state securities laws.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the promises and the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Buyer hereby agree as follows:

 

1.  DEFINITIONS.

 

As used in this Agreement, the following
terms shall have the following meanings:

 

a.  “Investor”
means the Buyer, any transferee or assignee thereof to whom the Buyer assigns its rights under this Agreement in accordance with Section
9 and who agrees to become bound by the provisions of this Agreement, and any transferee or assignee thereof to whom a transferee
or assignee assigns its rights under this Agreement in accordance with Section 9 and who agrees to become bound by the provisions
of this Agreement.

 

b.  “Person”
means any individual or entity including but not limited to any corporation, a limited liability company, an association, a partnership,
an organization, a business, an individual, a governmental or political subdivision thereof or a governmental agency.

 

c.  “Register,”
“registered,” and “registration” refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing one or
more registration statements of the Company in compliance with the Securities Act and pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or
any successor rule providing for offering securities on a continuous basis (“Rule 415”), and the declaration or ordering
of effectiveness of such registration statement(s) by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

    	1 

    	 

    

 

 

d.  “Registrable
Securities” means all of the Commitment Shares and the Purchase Shares that may, from time to time, be issued or become issuable
to the Investor under the Purchase Agreement (without regard to any limitation or restriction on purchases), and any and all shares of
capital stock issued or issuable with respect to the Purchase Shares or the Commitment Shares or the Purchase Agreement as a result of
any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, exchange or similar event or otherwise, without regard to any limitation on purchases
under the Purchase Agreement.

 

e.  “Registration
Statement” means one or more registration statements of the Company covering only the resale of the Registrable Securities.

 

2.  REGISTRATION.

 

a.  Mandatory
Registration. The Company shall, within twenty (20) Business Days from the date of this Agreement, file with the SEC an initial Registration
Statement on Form S-1 covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities as the Company shall be permitted to be included thereon in
accordance with applicable SEC rules, regulations and interpretations so as to permit the resale of such Registrable Securities by the
Investor under Rule 415 under the Securities Act at then prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices), as mutually determined by both
the Company and the Investor in consultation with their respective legal counsel (in any case including all of the Commitment Shares),
subject to the aggregate number of authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock then available for issuance in its Articles of
Incorporation. The initial Registration Statement shall register only the Registrable Securities. The Investor and its counsel shall have
a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement
and any related prospectus prior to its filing with the SEC, and the Company shall give due consideration to all comments. The Investor
acknowledges that it will be identified in the initial Registration Statement as an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11)
of the Securities Act and shall furnish all information reasonably requested by the Company for inclusion therein. The Company shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement and any amendment declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable.
The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the
Securities Act and available for the resale by the Investor of all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby at all times until the
date on which the Investor shall have resold all the Registrable Securities covered thereby and no Available Amount remains under the
Purchase Agreement (the “Registration Period”). The Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements
thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not
misleading.

 

b.  Rule
424 Prospectus. The Company shall, as required by applicable securities regulations, from time to time file with the SEC, pursuant
to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, the prospectus and prospectus supplements, if any, to be used in connection with resales
of the Registrable Securities by the Buyer under the Registration Statement. The Investor and its counsel shall have a reasonable opportunity
to review and comment upon such prospectus prior to its filing with the SEC, and the Company shall give due consideration to all comments.
The Investor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide any such comments within one (1) Business Day from the date the
Investor receives the final pre-filing version of such prospectus.

    	2 

    	 

    

 

 

c.  Sufficient
Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of shares available under the Registration Statement is insufficient to cover
all of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall amend the Registration Statement or file a new Registration Statement (a “New
Registration Statement”), so as to cover all of such Registrable Securities (subject to the limitations set forth in Section
2(a)) as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than ten (10) Business Days after the necessity arises, subject to any limits
that may be imposed by the SEC pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts
to cause such amendment and/or New Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof.

 

d.  Offering.
If the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) or the SEC seeks to characterize any offering pursuant to a Registration Statement
filed pursuant to this Agreement as constituting an offering of securities that does not permit such Registration Statement to become
effective and be used for resales by the Investor under Rule 415 at then-prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices), or if after
the filing of the initial Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a), the Company is otherwise required by the
Staff or the SEC to reduce the number of Registrable Securities included in such initial Registration Statement, then the Company shall
reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such initial Registration Statement (with the prior consent, which shall
not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, of the Investor and its legal counsel as to the specific Registrable Securities
to be removed therefrom) until such time as the Staff and the SEC shall so permit such Registration Statement to become effective and
be used as aforesaid. In the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall file one or
more New Registration Statements in accordance with Section 2(c) until such time as all Registrable Securities have been included
in Registration Statements that have been declared effective and the prospectus contained therein is available for use by the Investor.
Notwithstanding any provision herein or in the Purchase Agreement to the contrary, the Company’s obligations to register Registrable
Securities (and any related conditions to the Investor’s obligations) shall be qualified as necessary to comport with any requirement
of the SEC or the Staff as addressed in this Section 2(d).

 

3.  RELATED
OBLIGATIONS.

 

With respect to the Registration
Statement and whenever any Registrable Securities are to be registered pursuant to Section 2, including on any New Registration
Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance
with the intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:

 

a.  The
Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to any Registration
Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424
promulgated under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement effective
at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to
the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement until
such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by
the Investor as set forth in such Registration Statement.

 

    	3 

    	 

    

 

 

b.  The
Company shall permit the Investor to review and comment upon the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement and all amendments
and supplements thereto at least two (2) Business Days prior to their filing with the SEC, and not file any document in a form to which
Investor reasonably objects. The Investor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to comment upon the Registration Statement or
any New Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements thereto within two (2) Business Days from the date the Investor receives
the final version thereof. The Company shall furnish to the Investor, without charge any correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the
SEC to the Company or its representatives relating to the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement.

 

c.  Upon
request of the Investor, the Company shall furnish to the Investor, (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, at
least one copy of such Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents
incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, a copy of the prospectus
included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as the Investor may
reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as the Investor may reasonably
request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the Investor. For the avoidance
of doubt, any filing available to the Investor via the SEC’s live EDGAR system shall be deemed “furnished to the Investor”
hereunder.

 

d.  The
Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement
under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Investor reasonably requests,
(ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations
and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions
as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv)
take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any
jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general taxation
in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify
the Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any
jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

 

e.  As
promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event or facts, the Company shall notify the Investor of the happening of any event
or existence of such facts as a result of which the prospectus included in any Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an
untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain
any material, non-public information regarding the Company), and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement
to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver a copy of such supplement or amendment to the Investor (or such other number
of copies as the Investor may reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly notify the Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus
or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment
has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to the Investor by email or facsimile on the same day of such
effectiveness or by overnight mail), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or related
prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration
Statement would be appropriate.

    	4 

    	 

    

 

 

f.  The
Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of
any Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if
such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify
the Investor of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any
proceeding for such purpose.

 

g.  The
Company shall (i) cause all the Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class
or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules
of such exchange, or (ii) secure designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities on the Principal Market. The Company shall
pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section 3(g).

 

h.  The
Company shall comply with Section 6(b) of the Purchase Agreement with respect to the issuance of Registrable Securities.

 

i.  The
Company shall at all times provide a transfer agent and registrar with respect to its Common Stock.

 

j.  If
reasonably requested in writing by the Investor, the Company shall (i) as soon as practicable after receipt of written notice from the
Investor, incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the Investor reasonably believes necessary
to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with
respect to the number of Registrable Securities being sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering
of the Registrable Securities; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable
after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement
or make amendments to any Registration Statement.

 

k.  The
Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by any Registration Statement to be
registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such
Registrable Securities.

l.  On
the date any Registration Statement which includes the Registrable Securities is declared effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver,
and shall cause its legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the
Investor) confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC in a form acceptable to the transfer agent.
Thereafter, if reasonably requested by the Buyer at any time, the Company (acting directly or through its counsel) shall deliver to the
Buyer, which may be via e-mail, a written confirmation whether or not the effectiveness of such Registration Statement has lapsed at any
time for any reason (including, without limitation, the issuance of a stop order by the SEC) and whether or not the Registration Statement
is available to the Buyer for sale of all of the Registrable Securities.

 

m.  Company
agrees to take all other reasonable actions as necessary and reasonably requested in writing by the Investor to expedite and facilitate
disposition by the Investor of the Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement.

4.  OBLIGATIONS
OF THE INVESTOR.

 

a.  The
Company shall notify the Investor in writing of the information the Company reasonably requires from the Investor in connection with any
Registration Statement hereunder. The Investor shall as soon as practicable furnish to the Company such information regarding itself,
the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably
required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration
as the Company may reasonably request.

 

b.  The
Investor agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of
any Registration Statement hereunder and any amendments and supplements thereto.

 

c.  The
Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event or existence of facts of the kind described
in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of Section 3(e), the Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable
Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until the Investor’s receipt of the copies
of a notice regarding the resolution or withdrawal of the stop order or suspension as contemplated by Section 3(f) or the supplemented
or amended prospectus as contemplated by the first sentence of Section 3(e). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company
shall cause its transfer agent to promptly deliver shares of Common Stock without any restrictive legend in accordance with the terms
of the Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract
for sale prior to the Investor’s receipt of a notice from the Company to the Investor of the happening of any event of the kind
described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of Section 3(e) and for which the Investor has not yet settled.

 

5.  EXPENSES
OF REGISTRATION.

 

All reasonable expenses, other than
sales or brokerage commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and
3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, and fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be paid by the Company.

 

6.  INDEMNIFICATION.

 

a.  To
the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Investor, each Person,
if any, who controls the Investor, the members, directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, managers, and representatives of the
Investor and each Person, if any, who controls the Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or reasonable
expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”) reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any
action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative
or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto
(“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings,
whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact in the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing
made

    	6 

    	 

    

 

in connection with the qualification of the offering
under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered, or the omission
or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
(ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented,
if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any
material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made,
not misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including,
without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities
pursuant to the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement or (iv) any material violation by the Company of this Agreement
(the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, “Violations”). The Company shall reimburse
each Indemnified Person promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable and documented legal fees or
other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified
Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information about the Investor furnished
in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement,
any New Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto or prospectus contained therein, if such Registration
Statement, New Registration Statement or amendment thereof or supplement thereto or prospectus was timely made available by the Company
pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); (ii) with respect to any superseded prospectus, shall not inure to the benefit
of any Indemnified Person from whom the Indemnified Person asserting any such Claim purchased the Registrable Securities that are the
subject thereof (or to the benefit of any person controlling such Indemnified Person) if the untrue statement or omission of material
fact contained in the superseded prospectus was corrected in the revised prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such revised
prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e), and the Indemnified Person was promptly
advised in writing not to use the incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a violation and such Indemnified Person, notwithstanding
such advice, used it; (iii) shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause
to be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to
Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); and (iv) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is
effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Such
indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall
survive the transfer of the rights and obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 9.

 

b.  In
connection with the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement, the Investor agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend,
to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers
who signs the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning
of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (collectively and together with an Indemnified Person, an “Indemnified Party”),
against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise,
insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the
extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information about the Investor set forth on Exhibit
A attached hereto and furnished to the Company by the Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement (as
such information about the Investor may be updated and furnished to the Company by the Investor expressly for use in connection with any
New Registration Statement or prospectus); and, subject to Section 6(d), the Investor will reimburse any legal or other

    	7 

    	 

    

 

expenses reasonably incurred by any Indemnified Party
in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section
6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any
Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
delayed or conditioned; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount
of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to the Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities
pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by
or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section
9.

 

c.  Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or
proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if
a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party
a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the
indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with
counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided,
however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to
be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by
such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding.
The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense
of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available
to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto.
No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its written consent, provided,
however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without
the consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise
which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified
Person of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the
indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties,
firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying
party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in
its ability to defend such action.

 

d.  The
indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation
or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred. Any Person receiving a payment
pursuant to this Section 6 which person is later determined to not be entitled to such payment shall return such payment to the person
making it.

    	8 

    	 

    

 

 

e.  The
indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified
Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to applicable
law.

 

7.  CONTRIBUTION.

 

To the extent any indemnification
by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect
to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however,
that: (i) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities
Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and
(ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller
from the sale of such Registrable Securities.

 

8.  REPORTS
AND DISCLOSURE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

 

With a view to making available
to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that
may at any time permit the Investor to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (“Rule 144”),
the Company agrees, at the Company’s sole expense, so long as the Investor owns Registrable Securities:

 

a.  make
and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

 

b.  file
with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act
so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable
provisions of Rule 144;

 

c.  furnish
to the Investor so long as the Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that
it has complied with the reporting and or disclosure provisions of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the
most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other
information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investor to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration; and

 

d.  take
such additional action as is reasonably requested by the Investor to enable the Investor to sell the Registrable Securities pursuant to
Rule 144, including, without limitation, delivering all such legal opinions, consents, certificates, resolutions and instructions to the
Company’s Transfer Agent as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Investor and otherwise fully cooperate with Investor
and Investor’s broker to effect such sale of securities pursuant to Rule 144.

 

The Company agrees that damages
may be an inadequate remedy for any breach of the terms and provisions of this Section 8 and that Investor shall, whether or not
it is pursuing any remedies at law, be entitled to seek equitable relief in the form of a preliminary or permanent injunction, without
having to post any bond or other security, upon any breach or threatened breach of any such terms or provisions.

    	9 

    	 

    

 

 

		9.	ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

 

The Company shall not assign this
Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Investor; provided, however, that any transaction,
whether by merger, reorganization, restructuring, consolidation, financing or otherwise, whereby the Company remains the surviving entity
immediately after such transaction shall not be deemed an assignment. The Investor may not assign its rights under this Agreement without
the prior written consent of the Company, other than to an affiliate of the Investor controlled by Jonathan Cope or Josh Scheinfeld, in
which case the assignee must agree in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

10.  AMENDMENT
OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

 

No provision of this Agreement may
be amended or waived by the parties from and after the date that is one (1) Business Day immediately preceding the initial filing of the
Registration Statement with the SEC. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, no provision of this Agreement may be (i) amended
other than by a written instrument signed by both parties hereto or (ii) waived other than in a written instrument signed by the party
against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise,
or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof.

such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction
or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES
ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH
