the restrictions in this clause are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Group’s Confidential Information and goodwill;

 

(c)
you intend the restrictions to operate to the maximum extent;

 

(d)
despite anything in this clause 18 , for the purposes of this clause 18 , a ‘substance over form’ approach is intended to
be taken as to whether the conduct prohibited by this clause 18 occurred in the Restricted Area. For example, the provisions in this
clause 18 will apply if you solicit an employee located inside the Restricted Area but you take the relevant action (e.g. make a telephone
call or send an email to that employee) from a location outside the Restricted Area;

 

(e)
damages may be inadequate to protect the Group’s interests and the Group is entitled to seek and obtain injunctive relief, or any
other remedy, in any court; and

 

(f)
the restrictions are separate, distinct and several, so that the unenforceability of any restriction does not affect the enforceability
of the other restrictions.

 

18.6
Modification of restrictions

 

If
the restrictions in this clause 18 :

 

(a)
are void as unreasonable for the protection of the Group’s interests; and

 

(b)
would be valid if part of the wording was deleted or the period or area was reduced, the restrictions will apply with the modifications
necessary to make them effective.

 

18.7
Obligations continue

 

Your
obligations under this clause 18 survive the ending of your employment.

other organizational or charter documents. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good
standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned

Document, (ii) a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise)
of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to perform in

the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no
further action is required by the Company, the Board of Directors or the Company’s stockholders in connection herewith or therewith
other than in connection with the Required Approvals. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which the Company is a party

information agreement or non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant in favor of any third

with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all U.S. federal, state, local
and foreign laws and regulations relating to employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours,

and (iii) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval where in each clause (i), (ii) and

(n)
Regulatory Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate
federal, state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports,
except where the failure to possess such permits could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (“Material
Permits”), and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or
modification of any Material Permit.

(o)
Title to Assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them
and good and marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries,
in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for (i) 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 the Subsidiaries and (ii) Liens for the payment
of federal, state or other taxes, for which appropriate reserves have been made therefor in accordance with GAAP and the payment of which

which the failure to so have could have a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”).
None of, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a notice (written or otherwise) that any of, the Intellectual Property
Rights has expired, terminated or been abandoned, or is expected to expire or terminate or be abandoned, within two (2) years from the
date of this Agreement. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received, since the date of the latest audited financial statements
included within the SEC Reports, a written notice of a claim or otherwise has any knowledge that the Intellectual Property Rights violate
or infringe upon the rights of any Person, except as could not have or reasonably be expected to not have a Material Adverse Effect.
To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another
Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect
the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their intellectual properties, except where failure to do so could not, individually
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged, including,
but not limited to, directors and officers insurance coverage at least equal to the dollar amount specified on Schedule 3.1(q).
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.

for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company and (iii) other employee benefits, including

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 Commission 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

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 Commission’s
rules and forms. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures of
the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act

such registration. Other than as disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received
notice from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance
with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. Other than as disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Company is, and
has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance
requirements. The Common Stock is currently eligible for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established

(y)
Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and the Board of Directors have taken 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 Company’s certificate of incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the
laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the Purchasers and the Company
fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation as a result of
the Company’s issuance of the Shares and the Purchasers’ ownership of the Shares.

(z)
Disclosure. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents,
the Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers or their agents or
counsel with any information that it believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information. The Company understands
and confirms that the Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All
of the disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries, their respective
businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Disclosure Schedules to this Agreement, is true and correct and does
not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The press releases disseminated by the Company during
the 12 months preceding the date of this Agreement taken as a whole do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made and when made, not misleading. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser makes or has made any
representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section
3.2 hereof.

(aa)
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 Shares
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.

(bb)
Solvency.  Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the
receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Shares hereunder: (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets
exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including
known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on
its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital
requirements of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof,
and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its
assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its liabilities
when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature
(taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any
facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization
laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date. Schedule 3.1(bb) sets forth as of the date hereof all outstanding
secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments. Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness”
means (x) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $100,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the
ordinary course of business); (y) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of indebtedness of others,
whether or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties

Common Stock and (iv) each Purchaser shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counter-party
in any “derivative” transaction. The Company further understands and acknowledges that (y) one or more Purchasers may engage

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.

warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date therein, in which case
they shall be accurate as of such date):

(a)

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
and thereof, 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 or public policy.

(b)
Own Account. Such Purchaser understands that the Shares and Conversion Shares are “restricted securities” and have
not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Shares and Conversion Shares
as principal for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Shares or Conversion Shares 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
Shares or Conversion Shares 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 Shares or Conversion Shares 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 Common Stock Shares and/or Conversion Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable
federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring the Shares and Conversion Shares hereunder in the ordinary course of
its business.

(c)
Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Shares, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, either: (i) an “accredited
investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(5), (a)(7), (a)(8) or (a)(9) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified
institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.

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

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

    	14 

    	 

    

(f)
Access to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including
all exhibits and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed
necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the
Shares and Conversion Shares and the merits and risks of investing in the Shares and Conversion Shares; (ii) access to information about
the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it
to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire
without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. Such
Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that neither the Placement Agent nor any Affiliate of the Placement Agent has provided such Purchaser
with any information or advice with respect to the Shares nor is such information or advice necessary or desired. Neither the Placement
Agent nor any Affiliate has made or makes any representation as to the Company or the quality of the Shares or the Conversion Shares
and the Placement Agent and any Affiliate may have acquired non-public information with respect to the Company which such Purchaser agrees
need not be provided to it. In connection with the issuance of the Shares to such Purchaser, neither the Placement Agent nor any of its
Affiliates has acted as a financial advisor or fiduciary to such Purchaser.

(g)
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 Shares covered by this Agreement. Other
than to other Persons party to this Agreement or to such Purchaser’s representatives, including, without limitation, its officers,
directors, partners, legal and other advisors, agents and Affiliates, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures
made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
for avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect
to the identification of the availability of, or securing of, available shares to borrow in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions
in the future.

The
Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in this Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s
right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties
contained in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement
or the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby.

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

4.1
Transfer Restrictions.

(a)
The Shares and Conversion Shares may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any
transfer of Shares or Conversion Shares other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to
an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor
thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form
and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration
of such transferred Shares or Conversion Shares under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree
in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations
of a Purchaser under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.

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

    	15 

    	 

    

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. THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A
FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED
BY SUCH SECURITIES.

The
Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered
broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Shares or Conversion Shares 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 Agreement and
the Registration Rights Agreement and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured
Shares or Conversion Shares 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 Shares or Conversion Shares may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer
of the Shares or Conversion Shares, including, if the Common Stock Shares and and/or Conversion Shares are subject to registration pursuant
to the Registration Rights Agreement, the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the
Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholders (as defined
in the Registration Rights Agreement) thereunder.

(c)
Certificates evidencing the Shares or Conversion Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b)
hereof), (i) while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective
under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Shares or Conversion Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Shares are
eligible for sale under Rule 144, and the Company is then in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 or
if the Conversion Shares may be sold without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information
required under Rule 144 as to such Shares or Conversion Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, or (iv) if such legend
is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by
the staff of the Commission), the Company shall instruct its Transfer Agent to remove the legend from certificates evidencing the Shares
or Conversion Shares. The Company shall, at its 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 or if requested by a Purchaser and
shall instruct its Transfer Agent to remove the legend without requiring a medallion guarantee and provide such indemnity to its Transfer
Agent as the Transfer Agent may require to waive any medallion guarantee requirement. The Company agrees that following the Effective
Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than the earlier of (i) two (2)
Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below), in each case following
the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Shares and Conversion Shares issued with
a restrictive legend (such earlier date, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser
a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on
its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4. The Company
shall cause certificates for Shares or Conversion Shares subject to legend removal hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent
to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed
by such Purchaser. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in
a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of
delivery of a stock certificate for removal of legends.

    	16 

    	 

    

(d)
Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees that such Purchaser may only sell any Shares or Conversion
Shares pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements,
or an exemption therefrom, and that if Shares or Conversion Shares 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 Shares or Conversion Shares as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.

(e)
The Company shall hold a special meeting of stockholders (which may also be the annual meeting of stockholders) at the earliest practical
date, but in no event later than 120 days following the Closing Date (150 days in the event of a review of the proxy statement by the
Commission), for the purpose of obtaining Stockholder Approval, with the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors that
such approval be approved, and the Company shall solicit proxies from its stockholders in connection therewith in the same manner as
all other management proposals in such proxy statement and all management-appointed proxyholders shall vote their proxies in favor of
such proposal. The Company shall use best efforts to obtain Stockholder Approval. If the Company does not obtain Stockholder Approval
at the first meeting, the Company shall call a meeting every four months thereafter to seek Stockholder Approval until Stockholder Approval
is obtained. Prior to any such stockholder meeting, the Company shall timely file a proxy statement pursuant to Section 14(a) of the
Exchange Act in compliance in all material respects with the provisions of the Company’s bylaws and all applicable law. 

4.2
Furnishing of Information; Public Information. Until the time that (i) no Purchaser owns Shares or (ii) 24 months after the date

timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by
the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements
of the Exchange Act.

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 Shares in a manner that would
require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Shares or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the
Shares for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder approval prior to the closing
of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.

4.4
Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the material terms of the
transactions contemplated hereby, including the Transaction Documents as exhibits thereto, with the Commission within the time required
by the Exchange Act. From and after the filing of such Form 8-K, the Company represents to the Purchasers that it shall have publicly

their respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
The Company and each Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby, and neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without
the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of any Purchaser, or without the prior consent of each Purchaser,
with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure
is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement
or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name
of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such
Purchaser, except: (a) as required by federal securities law in connection with (i) any registration statement contemplated by the Registration
Rights Agreement and (ii) the filing of final Transaction Documents with the Commission and (b) 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 clause (b).

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

    	17 

    	 

    

4.6
Non-Public Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents, which shall be disclosed pursuant to Section 4.4, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting
on its behalf will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes, or the Company reasonably believes
constitutes, material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have consented to the receipt of such information
and agreed with the Company to keep such information confidential. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be
relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. To the extent that the Company delivers any
material, non-public information to a Purchaser without such Purchaser’s consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that
such Purchaser shall not have any duty of confidentiality to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers,
directors, agents, employees or Affiliates, or a duty to the Company, and of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors,
agents, employees or Affiliates not to trade on the basis of, such material, non-public information, provided that the Purchaser shall
remain subject to applicable law. To the extent that any notice provided pursuant to any Transaction Document constitutes, or contains,
material, non-public information regarding the Company or any Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the
Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the
foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

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

settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or
incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company
in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against the Purchaser Parties in any capacity, or
any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser Parties, 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
Parties may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such Purchaser Parties of state or federal securities laws or any conduct
by such Purchaser Parties 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 Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly
notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably
acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate

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 Agreement (y) for any settlement by such 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 such Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants
or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification required by this
Section 4.8 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills
are received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right
of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.

    	18 

    	 

    

4.9
Reservation of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep
available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company
to issue Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Stock.

4.10
Listing of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Stock
on the Trading Market on which it is currently listed, and concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall apply to list or quote all
of the Common Stock Shares and Conversion Shares on such Trading Market and promptly secure the listing or quotation of all of the Common
Stock Shares and Conversion Shares on such Trading Market. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock
traded on any other Trading Market, it will then include in such application all of the Common Stock Shares and Conversion Shares, and
will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Common Stock Shares and Conversion Shares to be listed or quoted on such
other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The Company will then take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing or quotation
and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other
obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market. The Company shall maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock for electronic
transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment
of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.

4.11
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 Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents
unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents. For clarification
purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser,
and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in
concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Shares or Conversion Shares or otherwise.

4.12
Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that
neither it, nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including
Short Sales, of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at
such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the Form 8-K as described in
Section 4.4. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the Form 8-K as described in Section 4.4, such Purchaser
will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in the Transaction Documents
and the Disclosure Schedules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary,
the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will
not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
are first publicly announced pursuant to the Form 8-K as described in Section 4.4, (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited
from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from and after the time
that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the Form 8-K as described in Section 4.4
and (iii) this Agreement shall impose no duty on any Purchaser of confidentiality or to not trade in the securities of the Company to
the Company or its Subsidiaries after the issuance of the Form 8-K as described in Section 4.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s
assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other
portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed
by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Shares covered by this Agreement.

4.13
Form D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company shall timely file a Form D with respect to the Shares and Conversion Shares as required
under Regulation D and 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 Shares for, sale to the Purchasers at
the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence
of such actions promptly upon request of any Purchaser.

    	19 

    	 

    

4.14
Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Shares may result in dilution of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction
Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Shares and Conversion 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.

MISCELLANEOUS

5.1
Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder only and without
any effect whatsoever on the obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other parties, if the
Closing has not been consummated on or before October 31, 2022; provided, however, that such termination will not affect the right of
any party to sue for any breach by any other party (or parties).

5.2
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
negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees (including,
without limitation, any fees required for same-day processing of any instruction letter delivered by the Company), stamp taxes and other
taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Shares and Conversion Shares to the Purchasers.

5.3
Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding
of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written,
with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.

5.4
Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of: (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is
delivered via email at the address set forth on the signature pages attached hereto at or prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on
a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via email at the
address set forth on the signature pages attached hereto on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time)
on any Trading Day, (c) the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized
overnight courier service or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The address for such notices
and communications shall be as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto. To the extent that any notice provided pursuant to any
Transaction Document constitutes, or contains material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the
Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K.

5.5
Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument
signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and the Purchasers holding at least 51% in interest of the Shares then outstanding
or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought; provided, that if any amendment,
modification or waiver disproportionately and adversely impacts a Purchaser (or group of Purchasers), the consent of such disproportionately
impacted Purchaser (or group of Purchasers) shall also be required. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition
or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver
of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder
in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

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

5.7
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and
permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent
of each Purchaser (other than by merger). Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom
such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Shares or Conversion Shares, provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with
respect to the transferred Shares or Conversion Shares, by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchasers.”

5.8
No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors
and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise
set forth in Section 4.8.

5.9
Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents
shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the
principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and
defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto
or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively
in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder
or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement
of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Action or Proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, or that such Action or Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient
venue for such Proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any
such Action or Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery)
to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and
sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process
in any other manner permitted by law. If any party hereto shall commence an Action or Proceeding to enforce any provisions of  the
Transaction Documents, then, in addition to the obligations of the Company under Section 4.8, the prevailing party in such Action or
Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred
with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Action or Proceeding.

5.10
Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Shares.

5.11
Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one
and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party,
it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission,
by electronic mail (including “.pdf” or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g.,
docusign.com) or other transmission method, 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 it were an original thereof.

5.12
Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to
be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall
remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated
by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would
have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared
invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

    	21 

    	 

    

5.13
Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions
of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction
Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may
rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election
in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

5.14
Replacement of Shares. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares or Conversion Shares 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 Shares
or Conversion Shares.

5.15
Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages,
each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that
monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction
Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that
a remedy at law would be adequate.

5.16
Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document
or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise
or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by
or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including,
without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such
restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect
as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

5.17
Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document
are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance
or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other
Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereof or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as
a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way
acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each
Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of
this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional
party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation
of the Transaction Documents. 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.

5.18
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.

    	22 

    	 

    

5.19
Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise
the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against
the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each
and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse
and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the
date of this Agreement.

5.20
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.
