up to 1,319,289 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value (“Common
Stock”), from time to time during the term of this Agreement and on the terms set forth herein; provided, however,
that in no event shall the Company issue or sell through the Manager such number of Shares that (a) exceeds the number or dollar
amount of shares of Common Stock registered on the Registration Statement, pursuant to which the offering is being made, (b) exceeds
the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or (c) would cause the Company or the offering of the Shares to not
satisfy the eligibility and transaction requirements for use of Form S-3 (including, if applicable, General Instruction I.B.6 of
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the lesser of (a), (b) and (c), the “Maximum Amount”)). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto agree that compliance with the limitations set forth in this Section
2 on the number and aggregate sales price of Shares issued and sold under this Agreement shall be the sole responsibility of the
Company and that Manager shall have no obligation in connection with such compliance.

 

(a)          Appointment
of Manager as Selling Agent; Term Agreement. For purposes of selling the Shares through the Manager, the Company hereby appoints
the Manager as exclusive agent of the Company for the purpose of selling the Shares of the Company pursuant to this Agreement and
the Manager agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Shares on the terms and subject to the conditions stated
herein. The Company agrees that, whenever it determines to sell the Shares directly to the Manager as principal, it will enter
into a separate agreement (each, a “Terms Agreement”) in substantially the form of Annex I hereto, relating
to such sale in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement.

 

(b)          Agent
Sales. Subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, the Company
will issue and agrees to sell Shares from time to time through the Manager, acting as sales agent, and the Manager agrees to use
its commercially reasonable efforts to sell, as sales agent for the Company, on the following terms:

 

    	 	4	 

     

    

 

(i)          The
Shares are to be sold on a daily basis or otherwise as shall be agreed to by the Company and the Manager on any day that (A) is
a trading day for the Trading Market, (B) the Company has instructed the Manager by telephone (confirmed promptly by electronic
mail) to make such sales (“Sales Notice”) and (C) the Company has satisfied its obligations under Section 6
of this Agreement. The Company will designate the maximum amount of the Shares to be sold by the Manager daily (subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 2(d)) and the minimum price per Share at which such Shares may be sold. Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Manager shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell on a particular day all of the Shares designated
for the sale by the Company on such day. The gross sales price of the Shares sold under this Section 2(b) shall be the market
price for shares of the Company’s Common Stock sold by the Manager under this Section 2(b) on the Trading Market at
the time of sale of such Shares.

 

(ii)         The
Company acknowledges and agrees that (A) there can be no assurance that the Manager will be successful in selling the Shares,
(B) the Manager will incur no liability or obligation to the Company or any other person or entity if it does not sell the
Shares for any reason other than a failure by the Manager to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal
trading and sales practices and applicable law and regulations to sell such Shares as required under this Agreement, and (C) the
Manager shall be under no obligation to purchase Shares on a principal basis pursuant to this Agreement, except as otherwise specifically
agreed by the Manager and the Company pursuant to a Terms Agreement.

 

(iii)        The
Company shall not authorize the issuance and sale of, and the Manager shall not be obligated to use its commercially reasonable
efforts to sell, any Share at a price lower than the minimum price therefor designated from time to time by the Company’s
Board of Directors (the “Board”), or a duly authorized committee thereof, or such duly authorized officers of
the Company, and notified to the Manager in writing. The Company or the Manager may, upon notice to the other party hereto by telephone
(confirmed promptly by electronic mail), suspend the offering of the Shares for any reason and at any time; provided, however,
that such suspension or termination shall not affect or impair the parties’ respective obligations with respect to the Shares
sold hereunder prior to the giving of such notice.

 

(iv)        The
Manager may sell Shares by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415
under the Act, including without limitation sales made directly on the Trading Market, on any other existing trading market for
the Common Stock or to or through a market maker. The Manager may also sell Shares in privately negotiated transactions, provided
that the Manager receives the Company’s prior written approval for any sales in privately negotiated transactions and if
so provided in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus Supplement.

 

    	 	5	 

     

    

 

(v)         The
compensation to the Manager for sales of the Shares under this Section 2(b) shall be a placement fee of 3.0% of the gross sales
price of the Shares sold pursuant to this Section 2(b) (“Broker Fee”). The foregoing rate of compensation shall
not apply when the Manager acts as principal, in which case the Company may sell Shares to the Manager as principal at a price
agreed upon at the relevant Applicable Time pursuant to a Terms Agreement. The remaining proceeds, after deduction of the Broker
Fee and deduction for any transaction fees imposed by any clearing firm, execution broker, or governmental or self-regulatory organization
in respect of such sales, shall constitute the net proceeds to the Company for such Shares (the “Net Proceeds”).

 

(vi)        The
Manager shall provide written confirmation (which may be by facsimile or electronic mail) to the Company following the close of
trading on the Trading Market each day in which the Shares are sold under this Section 2(b) setting forth the number of the Shares
sold on such day, the aggregate gross sales proceeds and the Net Proceeds to the Company, and the compensation payable by the Company
to the Manager with respect to such sales.

 

(vii)       Upon
delivery of a Sales Notice, the Company shall issue and deliver the maximum number of Shares to be sold pursuant to the Sales Notice
to the Manager’s account at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) via the DWAC system, which Shares shall
be deposited by the Manager in the Company’s account with the Manager. The Manager shall have no obligation to attempt to
sell the Shares until the Company has delivered the Shares to the Manager. Settlement for sales of the Shares pursuant to this
Section 2(b) will occur at 10:00 a.m. (New York City time), or at such time as the Company and the Manager may mutually agree,
on the third Business Day following delivery of the Shares issued pursuant to the Sale Notice (each such day, a “Settlement
Date”). On each Settlement Date, the Manager shall deliver the Net Proceeds from the sale of the Shares to the Company.
If on any Settlement Date not all Shares were sold as issued pursuant to the Sales Notice, then, at the election of and upon notice
from the Company, the Shares shall be applied to a future Settlement Date or returned to the Company.

 

    	 	6	 

     

    

 

(viii)      At
each Applicable Time, Settlement Date, Representation Date and Filing Date, the Company shall be deemed to have affirmed each representation
and warranty contained in this Agreement as if such representation and warranty were made as of such date, modified as necessary
to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended as of such date. Any obligation of the Manager to use its
commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Shares on behalf of the Company shall be subject to the continuing accuracy of the
representations and warranties of the Company herein, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the
continuing satisfaction of the additional conditions specified in Section 6 of this Agreement.

 

(c)          Term
Sales. If the Company wishes to sell the Shares pursuant to this Agreement but other than as set forth in Section 2(b) of this
Agreement (each, a “Placement”), it will notify the Manager of the proposed terms of such Placement. If the
Manager, acting as principal, wishes to accept such proposed terms (which it may decline to do for any reason in its sole discretion)
or, following discussions with the Company wishes to accept amended terms, the Manager and the Company will enter into a Terms
Agreement setting forth the terms of such Placement. The terms set forth in a Terms Agreement will not be binding on the Company
or the Manager unless and until the Company and the Manager have each executed such Terms Agreement accepting all of the terms
of such Terms Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of a Terms Agreement, the
terms of such Terms Agreement will control. A Terms Agreement may also specify certain provisions relating to the reoffering of
such Shares by the Manager. The commitment of the Manager to purchase the Shares pursuant to any Terms Agreement shall be deemed
to have been made on the basis of the representations and warranties of the Company herein contained and shall be subject to the
terms and conditions herein set forth. Each Terms Agreement shall specify the number of the Shares to be purchased by the Manager
pursuant thereto, the price to be paid to the Company for such Shares, any provisions relating to rights of, and default by, underwriters
acting together with the Manager in the reoffering of the Shares, and the time and date (each such time and date being referred
to herein as a “Time of Delivery”) and place of delivery of and payment for such Shares. Such Terms Agreement
shall also specify any requirements for opinions of counsel, accountants’ letters and officers’ certificates pursuant
to Section 6 of this Agreement and any other information or documents required by the Manager.

 

(d)          Maximum
Number of Shares. Under no circumstances shall the Company cause or request the offer or sale of any Shares if, after giving
effect to the sale of such Shares, the aggregate amount of Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement would exceed the lesser of (A)
together with all sales of Shares under this Agreement, the Maximum Amount, (B) the amount available for offer and sale under the
currently effective Registration Statement and (C) the amount authorized from time to time to be issued and sold under this Agreement
by the Board, a duly authorized committee thereof or a duly authorized executive committee, and notified to the Agent in writing.
Under no circumstances shall the Company cause or request the offer or sale of any Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement
at a price lower than the minimum price authorized from time to time by the Board, a duly authorized committee thereof or a duly
authorized executive committee, and notified to the Agent in writing. Further, under no circumstances shall the Company cause or
permit the aggregate offering amount of Placement Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement to exceed the Maximum Amount.

 

    	 	7	 

     

    

 

(e)          Regulation
M Notice. Unless the exceptive provisions set forth in Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M under the Exchange Act are
satisfied with respect to the Shares, the Company shall give the Manager at least one Business Day’s prior notice of its
intent to sell any Shares in order to allow the Manager time to comply with Regulation M.

 

3.          Representations
and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Manager at the Execution Time and on each such
time the following representations and warranties are repeated or deemed to be made pursuant to this Agreement, as set forth below
or in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Incorporated Documents.

 

(a)          Subsidiaries.
All of the direct and indirect subsidiaries (individually, a “Subsidiary”) of the Company are set forth on Exhibit
21.1 to the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission. The Company owns, directly or indirectly,
all of the capital stock or other equity interests of each Subsidiary free and clear of any “Liens” (which for
purposes of this Agreement shall mean a lien, charge, security interest, encumbrance, right of first refusal, preemptive right
or other restriction), and all the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary are validly issued and are
fully paid, non-assessable and free of preemptive and similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities.

 

(b)          Organization
and Qualification. The Company and each of the Subsidiaries is an entity duly incorporated or otherwise organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization (as applicable), with the
requisite power and authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted. Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation or default of any of the provisions of its respective certificate or articles of
incorporation, bylaws or 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 by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified
or in good standing, as the case may be, could not reasonably be expected to result in (i) a material adverse effect on the legality,
validity or enforceability of this Agreement, (ii) a material adverse change in the results of operations, assets, business, prospects
or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, from that set forth in the Registration
Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus or the Incorporated Documents, or (iii) a material adverse
effect on the Company’s ability to perform in any material respect on a timely basis its obligations under this Agreement
(any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Material Adverse Effect”) and no “Proceeding” (which for purposes
of this Agreement shall mean any action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding (including, without limitation, an investigation
or partial proceeding, such as a deposition), whether commenced or threatened) has been instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking,
limiting or curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority or qualification.

 

    	 	8	 

     

    

 

(c)          Authorization
and Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement
by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby 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 or its stockholders in connection herewith
other than in connection with the Required Approvals. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes
the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company 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.

 

(d)          No
Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company, the issuance and sale of the Shares and
the consummation by the Company of the other transactions contemplated herein do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate
any provision of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational
or charter documents, or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would
become a default) under, result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary,
or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or
both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company or Subsidiary debt or otherwise) or other
understanding to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary
is bound or affected, or (iii) subject to the Required Approvals, conflict with or result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation,
order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Company or a Subsidiary
is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Company or a
Subsidiary is bound or affected, except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as could not reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

    	 	9	 

     

    

 

(e)          Filings,
Consents and Approvals. The Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice
to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority or other
“Person” (defined as an individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association,
joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or subdivision thereof) or other entity
of any kind, including the Trading Market) in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement,

and regulations of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) (collectively, the “Required
Approvals”).

 

(f)          Issuance
of Shares. The Shares are duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with this Agreement, will be duly and
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens imposed by the Company. The Company has reserved from
its duly authorized capital stock the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement. The issuance
by the Company of the Shares has been registered under the Act and all of the Shares are freely transferable and tradable by the
purchasers thereof without restriction (other than any restrictions arising solely from an act or omission of such a purchaser).
The Shares are being issued pursuant to the Registration Statement and the issuance of the Shares has been registered by the Company
under the Act. The “Plan of Distribution” section within the Registration Statement permits the issuance and
sale of the Shares as contemplated by this Agreement. Upon receipt of the Shares, the purchasers of such Shares will have good
and marketable title to such Shares and the Shares will be freely tradable on the Trading Market.

 

    	 	10	 

     

    

 

(g)          Capitalization.
The capitalization of the Company is as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement
and the Prospectus as of the dates reflected therein. The Company has not issued any capital stock since its most recently filed
periodic report under the Exchange Act, other than pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options under the Company’s
stock incentive plans, the issuance of shares of Common Stock to employees pursuant to the Company’s employee stock purchase
plan and pursuant to the conversion or exercise of securities exercisable, exchangeable or convertible into Common Stock (“Common
Stock Equivalents”). No Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar
right to participate in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Except (i) pursuant to the Company’s stock incentive
plans, (ii) pursuant to agreements or instruments filed as exhibits to Incorporated Documents and (iii) with respect to warrants,
as described in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, there are no outstanding options, warrants,
script rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights or obligations
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or giving any Person any right to subscribe for or acquire, any shares of
Common Stock, or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become
bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents. The issuance and sale of the Shares will not obligate
the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any Person and will not result in a right of any holder of Company
securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under such securities. All of the outstanding shares of
capital stock of the Company are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in compliance with all federal
and state securities laws, and none of such outstanding shares was issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar rights
to subscribe for or purchase securities. There are no stockholders agreements, voting agreements or other similar agreements with
respect to the Company’s capital stock to which the Company is a party or, to the knowledge of the Company, between or among
any of the Company’s stockholders.

 

(h)          Registration
Statement. The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Act and has prepared and filed with the Commission
the Registration Statement, including a related Base Prospectus, for registration under the Act of the offering and sale of the
Shares. Such Registration Statement is effective and available for the offer and sale of the Shares as of the date hereof. As filed,
the Base Prospectus contains all information required by the Act and the rules thereunder, and, except to the extent the Manager
shall agree in writing to a modification, shall be in all substantive respects in the form furnished to the Manager prior to the
Execution Time or prior to any such time this representation is repeated or deemed to be made. The Registration Statement, at the
Execution Time, each such time this representation is repeated or deemed to be made, and at all times during which a prospectus
is required by the Act to be delivered (whether physically or through compliance with Rule 172, 173 or any similar rule) in
connection with any offer or sale of the Shares, meets the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(x). The initial Effective
Date of the Registration Statement was not earlier than the date three years before the Execution Time.

 

(i)          Accuracy
of Incorporated Documents. The Incorporated Documents, when they were filed with the Commission, conformed in all material
respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder, and none of the Incorporated Documents, when they were
filed with the Commission, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make
the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading; and any further documents so filed
and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus,
when such documents are filed with the Commission, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act
and the rules thereunder, as applicable, and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 

    	 	11	 

     

    

 

(j)          Ineligible
Issuer. (i) At the earliest time after the filing of the Registration Statement that the Company or another offering participant
made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2)) of the Shares and (ii) as of the Execution Time and on
each such time this representation is repeated or deemed to be made (with such date being used as the determination date for purposes
of this clause (ii)), the Company was not and is not an Ineligible Issuer (as defined in Rule 405), without taking account
of any determination by the Commission pursuant to Rule 405 that it is not necessary that the Company be considered an Ineligible
Issuer.

Adverse Events. Since the date of the latest audited financial statements included within the SEC Reports, except as specifically
disclosed in a subsequent SEC Report filed prior to the date hereof, (i) there has been no event, occurrence or development that
has had or that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) the Company has not incurred any liabilities
(contingent or otherwise) other than (A) trade payables and accrued expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent

intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a Person, as such terms are used in and construed
under Rule 144 under the Act), except pursuant to existing Company stock option plans. The Company does not have pending before
the Commission any request for confidential treatment of information. No event, liability or development has occurred or exists
with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective business, properties, operations or financial condition, that
would be required to be disclosed by the Company under applicable securities laws at the time this representation is deemed made
that has not been publicly disclosed at least 1 Trading Day prior to the date that this representation is deemed made.

 

(q)          Litigation.
There is no action, suit, inquiry, notice of violation, Proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Company,
threatened against or affecting the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties before or by any court, arbitrator,
governmental or administrative agency or regulatory authority (federal, state, county, local or foreign) (collectively, an “Action”)
which (i) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the Shares or (ii) could,
if there were an unfavorable decision, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary, nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any director or officer thereof, is or has been the subject of any Action involving
a claim of violation of or liability under federal or state securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty. There has not
been, and to the knowledge of the Company, there is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the Commission involving
the Company or any current or former director or officer of the Company. The Commission has not issued any stop order or other
order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company or any Subsidiary under the Exchange Act
or the Act.

 

(r)          Labor
Relations. No material labor dispute exists or, to the knowledge of the Company, is imminent with respect to any of the employees
of the Company which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’
employees is a member of a union that relates to such employee’s relationship with the Company, and neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries is a party to a collective bargaining agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries believe that their
relationships with their employees are good. No executive officer, to the knowledge of the Company, is, or is now expected to be,
in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement
or non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant, and the continued employment of each
such executive officer does not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability 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, except where the failure
to be in compliance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

    	 	14	 

     

    

 

(s)          No
Existing Defaults. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary (i) is in default under or in violation of (and no event has occurred
that has not been waived that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a default by the Company or any Subsidiary
under), nor has the Company or any Subsidiary received notice of a claim that it is in default under or that it is in violation
of, any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of
its properties is bound (whether or not such default or violation has been waived), (ii) is in violation of any order of any court,
arbitrator or governmental body, or (iii) is or has been in violation of any statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority,
including without limitation all foreign, federal, state and local laws relating to taxes, environmental protection, occupational
health and safety, product quality and safety and employment and labor matters, except in each case as could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(t)          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 Registration
Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus, 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. For
clarity, the Company has not received the approval of any regulatory agency to market any of its product candidates.

 

(u)          Title
to Assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries have 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 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 Liens for the payment of federal, state or other taxes, the payment of which is neither delinquent
nor subject to penalties. The Company and the Subsidiaries do not own any real property. Any real property and facilities held
under lease by the Company and the Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases of which the Company
and the Subsidiaries are in compliance, except where such non-compliance would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

 

    	 	15	 

     

    

 

(v)         Intellectual
Property. The Company and the Subsidiaries have, or have rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark
applications, service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses and other similar intellectual property
rights necessary or material for use in connection with their respective businesses as described in the Registration Statement,
the Base Prospectus, any Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus and which the failure to so have could reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”). Neither the Company nor
any Subsidiary has received, since the date of the latest audited financial statements included within the SEC Reports, a notice
(written or otherwise) that the Intellectual Property Rights violate or infringe upon the rights of any Person, except as would
not have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable (other
than patent and trademark applications) 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 Property Rights, except where failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(w)          Insurance.
The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and
in such amounts as are prudent and customary for companies of similar size as the Company in the businesses in which the Company
and the Subsidiaries are engaged, including, but not limited to, directors and officers insurance coverage. To the knowledge of
the Company, such insurance contracts and policies are accurate and complete. 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.

 

(x)          Affiliate
Transactions. Except as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus,
none of the officers or directors of the Company and, to the knowledge of the Company, none of the employees of the Company is
presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any Subsidiary (other than for services as employees, officers and directors),
including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental
of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or,
to the knowledge of the Company, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or
is an officer, director, trustee or partner, in each case in excess of $120,000, other than (i) for payment of salary or consulting
fees for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company and (iii) for other employee benefits,
including stock option agreements under any stock option plan of the Company.

Oxley Compliance. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Prospectus Supplement or the
Prospectus, the Company is in material compliance with all provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 which are applicable to
it as of the Effective Date.

 

(z)          Finder’s
Fees. Other than payments to be made to the Manager, no brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable
by the Company to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person
with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Manager shall have no obligation with respect to any fees
or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this Section that may be
due in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(aa)         No
Other Sales Agency Agreement. The Company has not entered into any other sales agency agreements or other similar arrangements
with any agent or any other representative in respect of at the market offerings of the Shares.

 

(bb)         Regulation
M Compliance. The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting on its behalf has, (i) taken, directly or indirectly,
any action designed to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate
the sale or resale of any of the Shares, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any
of the Shares or (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other securities
of the Company, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), compensation paid to the Manager in connection with the placement
of the Shares.

 

(cc)         Listing
and Maintenance Requirements. The issuance and sale of the Shares as contemplated in this Agreement does not contravene the
rules and regulations of the Trading Market. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange
Act, and the Company has taken no action designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the
registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission is contemplating
terminating such registration. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Prospectus Supplement
or the Prospectus, 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.

Company. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Shares, will not

The Company currently intends to conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended.

 

(ee)         Solvency.
Based on the financial condition of the Company as of the Effective Date, (i) the Company’s fair saleable value of its 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 and (ii) 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 debt when such amounts are required to be paid. Within one year
of the Effective Date, 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 SEC Reports set forth as of the dates thereof
all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary
has commitments. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness” shall mean (a) any liabilities for borrowed
money or amounts owed in excess of $50,000 (other than accrued liabilities and trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary
course of business), (b) 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 balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties by endorsement
of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (c) the present
value of any lease payments in excess of $50,000 due under leases required to be capitalized in accordance with GAAP. Neither the
Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.

Material Adverse Effect, the Company and each Subsidiary have filed all necessary federal, state and foreign income and franchise
tax returns and have paid or accrued all taxes shown as due thereon, and the Company has no knowledge of a tax deficiency which
has been asserted or threatened against the Company or any Subsidiary.

with all applicable laws, rules and regulations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”).  The
Company has not been informed by the FDA that the FDA will prohibit the marketing, sale, license or use in the United States of
any product proposed to be developed, produced or marketed by the Company nor has the FDA expressed any concern as to approving
or clearing for marketing any product being developed or proposed to be developed by the Company.

(hh)         Foreign

the Company, has (i) directly or indirectly, used any funds for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful
expenses related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government officials
or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully
any contribution made by the Company (or made by any person acting on its behalf of which the Company is aware) which is in violation

4.          Agreements.
The Company agrees with the Manager that:

 

(a)          Right
to Review Amendments and Supplements to Registration Statement and Prospectus. During any period when the delivery of a prospectus
relating to the Shares is required (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172,
173 or any similar rule) to be delivered under the Act in connection with the offering or the sale of Shares, the Company will
not file any amendment to the Registration Statement or supplement relating to the Shares (including any Prospectus Supplement
relating to the Shares) to the Base Prospectus unless the Company has furnished to the Manager a copy for its review prior to filing
and will not file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which the Manager reasonably objects. The Company has properly completed
the Prospectus, in a form approved by the Manager, and filed such Prospectus, as amended at the Execution Time, with the Commission
pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) by the Execution Time and will cause any supplement to the Prospectus
to be properly completed, in a form approved by the Manager, and will file such supplement with the Commission pursuant to the
applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) within the time period prescribed thereby and will provide evidence reasonably satisfactory
to the Manager of such timely filing. The Company will promptly advise the Manager (i) when the Prospectus, and any supplement
thereto, shall have been filed (if required) with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), (ii) when, during any period
when the delivery of a prospectus (whether physically or through compliance with Rule 172, 173 or any similar rule) is required
under the Act in connection with the offering or sale of the Shares, any amendment to the Registration Statement shall have been
filed or become effective (other than any annual report of the Company filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act), (iii) of any request by the Commission or its staff for any amendment of the Registration Statement, or any Rule 462(b)
Registration Statement, or for any supplement to the Prospectus or for any additional information, (iv) of the issuance by
the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any notice objecting to its use
or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (v) of the receipt by the Company of any notification
with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening
of any proceeding for such purpose. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any such
stop order or the occurrence of any such suspension or objection to the use of the Registration Statement and, upon such issuance,
occurrence or notice of objection, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal of such stop order or relief from such occurrence
or objection, including, if necessary, by filing an amendment to the Registration Statement or a new registration statement and
using its commercially reasonable efforts to have such amendment or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable.

 

    	 	19	 

     

    

 

(b)          Subsequent
Events. If, at any time on or after an Applicable Time but prior to the related Settlement Date, any event occurs as a result
of which the Registration Statement or Prospectus would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made or the circumstances
then prevailing not misleading, the Company will (i) notify promptly the Manager so that any use of the Registration Statement
or Prospectus may cease until such are amended or supplemented; (ii) amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus
to correct such statement or omission; and (iii) supply any amendment or supplement to the Manager in such quantities as the
Manager may reasonably request.

 

(c)          Notification
of Subsequent Filings. During any period when the delivery of a prospectus relating to the Shares is required (including in
circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172, 173 or any similar rule) to be delivered under
the Act, any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made at such time not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend the Registration Statement, file a new registration
statement or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder, including
in connection with use or delivery of the Prospectus, the Company promptly will (i) notify the Manager of any such event,
(ii) subject to Section 4(a), prepare and file with the Commission an amendment or supplement or new registration statement
which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance, (iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to
have any amendment to the Registration Statement or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable in order
to avoid any disruption in use of the Prospectus and (iv) supply any supplemented Prospectus to the Manager in such quantities
as the Manager may reasonably request.

 

    	 	20	 

     

    

 

(d)          Earnings
Statements. As soon as practicable, the Company will make generally available to its security holders and to the Manager an
earnings statement or statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of
the Act and Rule 158.

 

(e)          Delivery
of Registration Statement. Upon the request of the Manager, the Company will furnish to the Manager and counsel for the Manager,
without charge, signed copies of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and, so long as delivery of a prospectus
by the Manager or dealer may be required by the Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant
to Rule 172, 173 or any similar rule), as many copies of the Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any supplement
thereto as the Manager may reasonably request. The Company will pay the expenses of printing or other production of all documents
relating to the offering.

 

(f)          Qualification
of Shares. The Company will arrange, if necessary, for the qualification of the Shares for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions
as the Manager may designate and will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Shares;
provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified
or to take any action that would subject it to service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the offering or sale
of the Shares, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.

 

(g)          Free
Writing Prospectus. The Company agrees that, unless it has or shall have obtained the prior written consent of the Manager,
and the Manager agrees with the Company that, unless it has or shall have obtained, as the case may be, the prior written consent
of the Company, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Shares that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405) required to
be filed by the Company with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433. Any such free writing prospectus consented
to by the Manager or the Company is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company
agrees that (i) it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free
Writing Prospectus and (ii) it has complied and will comply, as the case may be, with the requirements of Rules 164 and
433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and
record keeping.

 

    	 	21	 

     

    

 

(h)          Subsequent
Equity Issuances. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary will offer, sell, issue, contract to sell, contract to issue or otherwise
dispose of, directly or indirectly, any other shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (other than the Shares) during
the term of this Agreement without giving the Manager at least three Business Days’ prior written notice specifying the nature
of the proposed transaction and the date of such proposed transaction. Upon receipt of such notice, the Manager shall as soon as
practicable suspend acting under this Agreement for such period of time requested by the Company or as deemed appropriate by the
Manager in light of the proposed transaction. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may issue and sell Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents pursuant to any employee stock incentive plan, stock ownership plan or employee stock purchase
plan of the Company in effect at the Execution Time or any compensatory inducement grants made by the Company and approved by the
Board consistent with past practice and, the Company may issue Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exercise of Common
Stock Equivalents outstanding at the Execution Time without providing any notice to the Manager.

 

(i)          Market
Manipulation. Until the termination of this Agreement, the Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed
to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, stabilization
or manipulation in violation of the Act, Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder of the price of any security of the
Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares or otherwise violate any provision of Regulation M under the Exchange Act.

 

(j)          Notification
of Incorrect Certificate. The Company will, at any time during the term of this Agreement, as supplemented from time to time,
advise the Manager immediately after it shall have received notice or obtained knowledge thereof, of any information or fact that
would alter or affect any opinion, certificate, letter and other document provided to the Manager pursuant to Section 6 herein.

of Accuracy of Disclosure. Upon commencement of the offering of the Shares under this Agreement (and upon the recommencement
of the offering of the Shares under this Agreement following the termination of a suspension of sales hereunder lasting more than
30 trading days), and each time that (i) the Registration Statement or Prospectus shall be amended or supplemented, other than
by means of Incorporated Documents, (ii) the Company files its Annual Report on Form 10-K under the Exchange Act, (iii) the Company
files its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q under the Exchange Act, (iv) the Company files a Current Report on Form 8-K containing
amended financial information (other than information that is furnished and not filed), if the Manager reasonably determines that
the information in such Form 8-K is material, or (v) the Shares are delivered to the Manager as principal at the Time of Delivery
pursuant to a Terms Agreement (such commencement or recommencement date and each such date referred to in (i), (ii), (iii), (iv)
and (v) above, a “Representation Date”), unless waived by the Manager, the Company shall furnish or cause to
be furnished to the Manager forthwith a certificate dated and delivered on the Representation Date, in form reasonably satisfactory
to the Manager to the effect that the statements contained in the certificate referred to in Section 6 of this Agreement which
were last furnished to the Manager are true and correct at the Representation Date, as though made at and as of such date (except
that such statements shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to
such date) or, in lieu of such certificate, a certificate of the same tenor as the certificate referred to in said Section 6, modified
as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the date of delivery of
such certificate.

paid by the Company with respect to such sales of the Shares pursuant to Section 2(b) of this Agreement and deliver such number
of copies of each such prospectus supplement to the Trading Market as are required by such exchange. The Company may satisfy such
disclosure requirement by including such information in a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or an Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the
event any sales are made pursuant to this Agreement which are NOT made in “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule
415, including, without limitation, any Placement pursuant to a Terms Agreement, the Company shall file a Prospectus Supplement
describing the terms of such transaction, the amount of Shares sold, the price thereof, the Manager’s compensation, and such

therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3, and all references to “Base Prospectus” included in this Agreement
shall be deemed to include the final form of prospectus, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, included in
any such registration statement at the time such registration statement became effective.

Prospectus Supplement shall have been filed in the manner required by Rule 424(b) within the time period required hereunder
and under the Act; any other material required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, shall have

(c)          Delivery

and that:

 

(i)          the
representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement are true and correct on and as of such date with the same effect
as if made on such date and the Company has complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be

set forth in or contemplated in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

 

    	 	27

to the Manager, to the extent requested by the Manager and upon reasonable advance notice in connection with any offering of the
Shares, letters (which may refer to letters previously delivered to the Manager), dated as of such date, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Manager, confirming that they are independent accountants within the meaning of the Act and the Exchange Act
and the respective applicable rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder and that they have performed a review
of any unaudited interim financial information of the Company and included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement
and the Prospectus and provide customary “comfort” as to such review in form and substance satisfactory to the Manager.

earnings, business or properties of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions
in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the
Incorporated Documents (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto) the effect of which, in any case referred to in clause (i)
or (ii) above, is, in the sole judgment of the Manager, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to

the Incorporated Documents and the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

 

(f)          Payment

7.          Indemnification
and Contribution.

 

(a)          Indemnification
by Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Manager, the directors, officers, employees and agents of
the Manager and each person who controls the Manager within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange
Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement for the registration of the Shares as originally filed or in any amendment
thereof, or in the Base Prospectus, any Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or in any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified
party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the
extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to
the Company by the Manager specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that
the Company may otherwise have.

 

    	 	29	 

     

    

 

(b)          Indemnification
by Manager. The Manager agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who
signs the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange
Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Manager, but only with reference to written information
relating to the Manager furnished to the Company by the Manager specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the
foregoing indemnity; provided, however, that in no case shall the Manager be responsible for any amount in excess
of the Broker Fee applicable to the Shares and paid hereunder. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which
the Manager may otherwise have.

 

(c)          Indemnification
Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action,
such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 7,
notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will
not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of
such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will
not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification
obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the
indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for
which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses
of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however,
that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election
to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate
counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel
with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified
party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available
to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the
indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified
party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize
the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without
the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect
to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought
hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement,
compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim,
action, suit or proceeding.

 

    	 	30	 

     

    

 

(d)          Contribution.
In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 7 is unavailable to or
insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Manager agree to contribute to the aggregate
losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating
or defending the same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Company and the Manager may be subject in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the Manager on the other from
the offering of the Shares; provided, however, that in no case shall the Manager be responsible for any amount in
excess of the Broker Fee applicable to the Shares and paid hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence
is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Manager severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Manager on the other in connection
with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits
received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received
by it, and benefits received by the Manager shall be deemed to be equal to the Broker Fee applicable to the Shares and paid hereunder
as determined by this Agreement. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or
any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
provided by the Company on the one hand or the Manager on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access
to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Manager agree that
it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which
does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d),
no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution
from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 7, each person who controls
the Manager within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of the Manager
shall have the same rights to contribution as the Manager, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either
the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of
the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions
of this paragraph (d).

 

    	 	31	 

     

    

 

8.          Termination.

 

(a)          The
Company shall have the right, by giving written notice as hereinafter specified, to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion
at any time upon three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party
to any other party except that (i) with respect to any pending sale, through the Manager for the Company, the obligations
of the Company, including in respect of compensation of the Manager, shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the
termination and (ii) the provisions of Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 and 14 of this Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect notwithstanding such termination.

 

(b)          The
Manager shall have the right, by giving written notice as hereinafter specified, to terminate the provisions of this Agreement
relating to the solicitation of offers to purchase the Shares in its sole discretion at any time. Any such termination shall be
without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 and 14 of this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

 

(c)          This
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the earlier of the three year anniversary of the date hereof and such date
that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Sections 8(a) or (b) above or otherwise by mutual agreement of the parties;
provided that any such termination by mutual agreement shall in all cases be deemed to provide that Sections 5, 6,
7, 8, 9, 10, 12 and 14 shall remain in full force and effect.

 

(d)          Any
termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in such notice of termination; provided that such
termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by the Manager or the Company,
as the case may be. If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date or Time of Delivery for any sale of the Shares,
such sale shall settle in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(b) of this Agreement.

 

(e)          In
the case of any purchase of Shares by the Manager pursuant to a Terms Agreement, the obligations of the Manager pursuant to such
Terms Agreement shall be subject to termination, in the absolute discretion of the Manager, by prompt oral notice given to the
Company prior to the Time of Delivery relating to such Shares, if any, and confirmed promptly by facsimile or electronic mail,
if since the time of execution of the Terms Agreement and prior to such delivery and payment, (i) trading in the Company’s
Common Stock shall have been suspended by the Commission or the Trading Market or trading in securities generally on the Trading
Market shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such exchange, (ii) a banking
moratorium shall have been declared either by Federal or New York State authorities or (iii) there shall have occurred any
outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis
the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Manager, impractical or inadvisable
to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Shares as contemplated by the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement
thereto).

 

    	 	32	 

     

    

 

9.          Representations
and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the
Company or its officers and of the Manager set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect,

12.         No

which it may be acting, on the other, (b) the Manager is acting solely as sales agent and/or principal in connection with
the purchase and sale of the Company’s securities and not as a fiduciary of the Company and (c) the Company’s

and not in any other capacity. Furthermore, the Company agrees that it is solely responsible for making its own judgments in connection
with the offering (irrespective of whether the Manager has advised or is currently advising the Company on related or other matters).
The Company agrees that it will not claim that the Manager has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe an agency,
fiduciary or similar duty to the Company, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

 

13.         Integration.
This Agreement and any Terms Agreement supersede all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the
Company and the Manager with respect to the subject matter hereof.

 

    	 	33

Law. This Agreement and any Terms Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New

EYEGATE PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. TERMS AGREEMENT

 

Dear Sirs:

 

EyeGate
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) proposes, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein and in the
At The Market Offering Agreement, dated May 24, 2016 (the “At The Market Offering Agreement”), between the Company
and H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Agent”), to issue and sell to Agent the securities specified in the Schedule I
hereto (the “Purchased Shares”).

 

Each
of the provisions of the At The Market Offering Agreement not specifically related to the solicitation by H.C. Wainwright &
Co., LLC, as agent of the Company, of offers to purchase securities is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and shall
be deemed to be part of this Terms Agreement to the same extent as if such provisions had been set forth in full herein. Each of
the representations and warranties set forth therein shall be deemed to have been made at and as of the date of this Terms Agreement
and the Time of Delivery, except that each representation and warranty in Section 3 of the At The Market Offering Agreement
which makes reference to the Prospectus (as therein defined) shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty as of the date
of the At The Market Offering Agreement in relation to the Prospectus, and also a representation and warranty as of the date of
this Terms Agreement and the Time of Delivery in relation to the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to relate to the Purchased
Shares.

 

An
amendment to the Registration Statement (as defined in the At The Market Offering Agreement), or a supplement to the Prospectus,
as the case may be, relating to the Purchased Shares, in the form heretofore delivered to the Manager is now proposed to be filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the At The Market Offering Agreement which are incorporated herein by reference,
the Company agrees to issue and sell to Agent and the latter agrees to purchase from the Company the number of shares of the Purchased
Shares at the time and place and at the purchase price set forth in the Schedule I hereto.

If the foregoing is in
accordance with your understanding, please sign and return to us a counterpart hereof, whereupon this Terms Agreement, including
those provisions of the At The Market Offering Agreement incorporated herein by reference, shall constitute a binding agreement
between the Manager and the Company.
