        COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

        This COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT, is made and entered into as of the 29th day of March, 2019 (this “Agreement”), by and among Scorpio
            Offshore Investments Inc. (“Scorpio Offshore”), a company organized and existing under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, Mackenzie
            Financial Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Ontario, for and on behalf of the funds and accounts set out on Schedule A
            (the “Mackenzie Funds”, and each of Scorpio Offshore and the Mackenzie Funds, an “Investor”, and together, the “Investors”) and Nordic American Offshore Ltd., a corporation organized and existing under the laws
            of Bermuda (the “Company”). The Investors and the Company together shall be referred to as the “Parties.” Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Annex A
            hereto.

        RECITALS

        WHEREAS,
            the Parties desire that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth herein, the Company may issue and sell to the Investors, and the Investors shall thereupon purchase from the Company, up to $20,000,000 worth of
            newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.10 per share (“Common Stock”);

        WHEREAS,
            the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Mackenzie Funds are prohibited from beneficially owning, as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, more than 19.50% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common
            Stock (the “Ownership Limitation”) and nothing herein shall be deemed an obligation to the Mackenzie Funds to acquire any shares of Common Stock in
            excess of such Ownership Limitation; and

        WHEREAS,
            the offer and sale of the Shares hereunder have not been registered by the Company under a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)

            under the Securities Act and the Company intends to register the Shares with the Commission on a resale registration statement as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement.

        NOW,

              THEREFORE, the Parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

        ARTICLE I

            PURCHASE AND SALE OF COMMON STOCK

        Section 1.1     Purchase and Sale of Stock

        Upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations of this Agreement, during the
            Investment Period, the Company, in its discretion, may issue and sell to the Investors up to an aggregate of $20,000,000 (the “Total Commitment”) worth
            of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (the “Aggregate Limit”) by the delivery to the Investors of
            separate Fixed Request Notices as provided in Article II hereof.  The aggregate of all Fixed Request Amounts shall not exceed the Aggregate Limit.

        Section 1.2     Effective Date; Settlement Dates

        
          1

          
            

        

        

        

        

        

        This Agreement shall become effective and binding upon the delivery of counterpart signature
            pages of this Agreement executed by each of the Parties hereto (the “Effective Date”).  In consideration of and in express reliance upon the
            representations, warranties and covenants, and otherwise upon the terms and subject to the conditions, of this Agreement, from and after the Effective Date and during the Investment Period the Company shall issue and sell to the Investors, and
            the Investors agree to purchase from the Company, the Shares in respect of each Fixed Request.  The issuance and sale of Shares to the Investors pursuant to any Fixed Request shall occur on the applicable Settlement Date in accordance with
            Sections 2.7 and 2.9, provided in each case that all of the conditions precedent thereto set forth in Article VII theretofore shall have been fulfilled or (to the extent permitted by applicable law) waived.

        Section 1.3     Reservation of Common Stock

        The Company has or will have duly authorized and reserved for issuance, and covenants to continue
            to so reserve once reserved for issuance, free of all preemptive and other similar rights, at all times during the Investment Period, the requisite aggregate number of authorized but unissued shares of its Common Stock to timely effect the
            issuance, sale and delivery in full to the Investors of all Shares to be issued in respect of all Fixed Requests under this Agreement, in any case prior to the issuance to the Investors of such Shares.

        ARTICLE II

            FIXED REQUEST TERMS

        Subject to the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by applicable law) waiver of the
            conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Parties agree (unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the Parties in writing) as follows:

        Section 2.1     Fixed Request Notice

        (a)      The Company may, from time to time in its sole discretion, no later than 9:30 a.m. (New York time) on a Trading Day, provide to the Investors a Fixed Request Notice (such date, the “Trade Date”), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Fixed Request Notice”), which Fixed Request Notice shall become effective at 9:30 a.m. (New York time) on such Trade Date; provided, however, that if the Company delivers the Fixed Request Notice to the Investors
            later than 9:30 a.m. (New York time) on any Trading Day, then the Trade Date shall be the next Trading Day after receipt of such Fixed Request Notice (unless a subsequent Trade Date is specified therein).  The Company shall provide the
            Investors with at least three business days’ prior notice of its intent to deliver a Fixed Request Notice to the Investors.  The Fixed Request Notice shall specify the Fixed Amount Requested (which shall not exceed the Maximum Fixed Amount
            Requested), establish the Floor Price for such Fixed Request, and designate the applicable Trade Date.

        (b)      The Fixed Amount Requested in each Fixed Request Notice delivered to the Investors shall be deemed to be allocated equally between each Investor and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Investor
            shall be obligated to accept each Fixed Request Notice prepared and delivered in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and to purchase its allocated portion of the Fixed Amount Requested set forth therein, provided, however,

        
          2

          
            

        

        

        

        that nothing herein shall obligate the Mackenzie Funds to purchase from the Company any shares of Common Stock to
            the extent that, after giving effect to such purchase, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of the Company beneficially owned by the Mackenzie Funds immediately after giving effect to such purchase would exceed 19.50 percent of the
            Company’s then issued and outstanding Common Stock.   To the extent that the number of shares of Common Stock that the Mackenzie Funds is obligated to purchase pursuant to any Fixed Request Notice is reduced as a result of this Section 2.1(b)
            (the amount of such reduction the “Ownership Limitation Cutback”), then the number of shares of Common Stock that Scorpio Offshore shall be obligated to
            purchase pursuant to such Fixed Request Notice shall be automatically increased by such Ownership Limitation Cutback.   For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 2.1(b) shall be deemed to limit the Mackenzie Funds’ obligation to
            purchase any shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Fixed Request Notice, including a portion of such Fixed Amount Requested, to the extent that such purchase would not exceed the Ownership Limitation.  The application of any Ownership Limitation
            Cutback shall be calculated in connection with each Fixed Request Notice delivered.

        Section 2.2     Discount Price

        The applicable discount price (the “Discount Price”) in respect of any Fixed Request shall be equal to the product of (i) 0.94 and (ii) the trailing 30-day Volume Weighted Average Price (the “30-Day VWAP”) of the Company’s Common Stock as of the day on which the Common Stock is traded on the Trading Market prior to the Trade Date, provided that such 30-Day VWAP equals or exceeds the applicable
            Floor Price; provided, however, that if the 30-Day VWAP does
            not equal or exceed the applicable Floor Price on the Trade Date, then the Investors shall not be obligated to purchase any Shares in respect of the applicable Fixed Request. Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, unless
            otherwise mutually agreed upon by the Investors and the Company, at no time shall the Investors be required to purchase more than the Maximum Fixed Amount Requested in respect of any Fixed Request.

        Section 2.3     Share Calculation

        With respect to each Trade Date on which the 30-Day VWAP equals or exceeds the Floor Price, the
            number of Shares to be issued by the Company to the Investors pursuant to a Fixed Request shall equal the quotient of the total Fixed Amount Requested divided by the Discount Price determined in accordance with Section 2.2 (rounded to the
            nearest whole Share).

        Section 2.4     Limitation of Fixed Requests

        Not less than seven business days shall elapse between each Trade Date during the Investment
            Period.  Each Fixed Request automatically shall expire immediately following the Trade Date.

        Section 2.5     Reduction of Commitment

        On the Settlement Date with respect to each Trade Date, the Investors’ Total Commitment under
            this Agreement automatically (and without the need for any amendment to this Agreement) shall be reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by the total amount of the Fixed Request Amount for such Trade Date paid to the Company at such Settlement
            Date.

        
          3

          
            

        

        

        

        

        

        Section 2.6     Below Floor Price

        If the 30-Day VWAP for any Trade Date is lower than the applicable Floor Price, then no Shares
            shall be purchased or sold with respect to such Trade Date.  If trading in the Common Stock on the NYSE (or any other Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted) is suspended for any reason for more than three hours on
            any Trade Date, then the Investors may, at their option, deem the 30-Day VWAP of the Common Stock to be lower than the Floor Price as of such Trade Date, and shall not be obligated to purchase any Shares with respect to such Trade Date.

        Section 2.7     Purchaser Confirmation; Settlement

        The Investors shall deliver to the Company, via facsimile transmission or e-mail in accordance
            with Section 10.4, not later than 8:00 p.m. (New York time) on each Trade Date on which the 30-Day VWAP was equal to or greater than the Floor Price, a Purchaser Confirmation Notice, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Purchaser Confirmation Notice”), which shall
            specify (i) the total Fixed Amount Requested to be purchased by the Investors on the applicable Settlement Date, (ii) the total number of Shares, if any, to be purchased by each Investor in respect of the applicable Fixed Request, (iii) the
            30-Day VWAP with respect to the applicable Trade Date and (iv) the applicable price per Share at which Shares are to be purchased by the Investors in respect of the applicable Fixed Request. The payment for, against subsequent delivery of,
            Shares in respect of each Fixed Request shall be settled on the second Trading Day next following the Trade Date, or on such earlier date as the Parties may mutually agree (the “Settlement Date”).  On each Settlement Date, the Company shall, or shall cause its transfer agent to, transfer the Shares purchased by each Investor to such Investor against prior payment to the Company’s
            designated account by wire transfer of immediately available funds. As set forth in Section 10.1(ii), a failure by the Company to deliver such Shares to the Investors or its designee(s) shall result in the payment of partial damages by the
            Company to the Investors.

        Section 2.8     Reserved.

        Section 2.9     Blackout Periods

        Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not deliver any Fixed
            Request Notice or otherwise offer or sell Shares to the Investors, and the Investors shall not be obligated to purchase any Shares pursuant to this Agreement, (i) during any period in which the Company is, or may be deemed to be, in possession
            of material non-public information, or (ii) except as expressly provided in this Section 2.9, at any time from and including the date (each, an “Announcement Date”)

            on which the Company shall issue a press release containing, or shall otherwise publicly announce, its earnings, revenues or other results of operations (each, an “Earnings

                Announcement”) through and including the time that is one full Trading Day after the time that the Company files (a “Filing Time”) a
            Report on Form 6-K or an Annual Report on Form 20-F that includes consolidated financial statements as of and for the same period or periods, as the case may be, covered by such Earnings Announcement.

        ARTICLE III

            REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE MACKENZIE FUNDS

        
          4

          
            

        

        

        

        

        

        The Mackenzie Funds hereby make the following representations and warranties to the Company:

        Section 3.1     Organization and Standing of the Mackenzie Funds

        The Mackenzie Funds are duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the Province of
            Manitoba.

        Section 3.2     Authorization and Power

        The Mackenzie Funds have the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform
            their obligations under this Agreement and to purchase the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Mackenzie Funds and the consummation by them of the transactions
            contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and no further consent or authorization of the Mackenzie Funds, or its manager, Mackenzie Financial Corporation is required. This Agreement has been duly executed
            and delivered by the Mackenzie Funds.  This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Mackenzie Funds enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable
            bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership, or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general
            application.

        Section 3.3     No Conflicts

        The execution, delivery and performance by the Mackenzie Funds of this Agreement and the
            consummation by the Mackenzie Funds of the transactions contemplated herein do not and shall not (i) result in a violation of the Mackenzie Funds’ respective charter documents, bylaws or other applicable organizational instruments, (ii)
            conflict with, constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default) under, or give rise to any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any material agreement,
            mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Mackenzie Funds are a party or are bound, (iii) create or impose any lien, charge or encumbrance on any property of the Mackenzie
            Funds under any agreement or any commitment to which the Mackenzie Funds are a party or under which they are bound or under which any of their properties or assets are bound, or (iv) result in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign
            statute, rule, or regulation, or any order, judgment or decree of any court or governmental agency applicable to the Mackenzie Funds or by which any of their properties or assets are bound or affected, except, in the case of clauses (ii), (iii)
            and (iv), for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, acceleration, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, prohibit or otherwise interfere with the ability of the Mackenzie Funds to enter into

          13

          
            

        

        

        

        circumstances that could reasonably be expected to lead to delisting or suspension of the Common Stock by the
            Trading Market in the foreseeable future.

        Section 5.15     Operation of Business

        (a)      The Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries possesses such permits, licenses, approvals, consents and other authorizations (including licenses, accreditation and other similar documentation or approvals of any local
            health departments) issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies as are necessary to conduct the business now operated by it (collectively, “Governmental Licenses”), except where the failure to possess such Governmental Licenses, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.  The Company and its Subsidiaries are in
            compliance with the terms and conditions of all such Governmental Licenses, except where the failure to so comply, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.  All of the Governmental Licenses are valid and in
            full force and effect, except where the invalidity of such Governmental Licenses or the failure of such Governmental Licenses to be in full force and effect, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.  Neither
            the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such Governmental Licenses which, if the subject of any unfavorable decision, ruling or finding,
            individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect.  This Section 5.15 does not relate to environmental matters, such items being the subject of Section 5.16.

        (b)      The Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries owns or possesses adequate patents, patent rights, licenses, inventions, copyrights, know-how (including trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or
            confidential information, systems or procedures), trademarks, service marks, trade names, trade dress, logos, copyrights and other intellectual property, including, without limitation, all of the intellectual property described in the
            Commission Documents as being owned or licensed by the Company (collectively, “Intellectual Property”), necessary to carry on the business now operated
            by it, except where the failure to possess such Intellectual Property, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.  There are no actions, suits or judicial proceedings pending, or to the Company’s Knowledge
            threatened, relating to patents or proprietary information to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or of which any property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, and neither the Company nor any of its
            Subsidiaries has received any notice or is otherwise aware of any infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to any Intellectual Property or of any facts or circumstances which could render any Intellectual Property
            invalid or inadequate to protect the interest of the Company and its Subsidiaries therein, and which infringement or conflict (if the subject of any unfavorable decision, ruling or finding) or invalidity or inadequacy, individually or in the
            aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect.

        Section 5.16     Environmental Compliance

        Except as disclosed in the Commission Documents, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries have
            obtained all material approvals, authorization, certificates, consents, licenses, orders and permits or other similar authorizations of all governmental authorities, or from any other Person, that are required under any Environmental Laws,
            except for any approvals, authorization, certificates, consents, licenses, orders and permits or other similar authorizations the

        
          14

          
            

        

        

        

        failure of which to obtain does not or would not have a Material Adverse Effect.  “Environmental Laws” shall mean all applicable laws relating to the protection of the environment, including all requirements pertaining to reporting, licensing, permitting,
            controlling, investigating or remediating emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances, chemical substances, pollutants, contaminants or toxic substances, materials or wastes, whether solid, liquid or gaseous
            in nature, into the air, surface water, groundwater or land, or relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of hazardous substances, chemical substances, pollutants,
            contaminants or toxic substances, material or wastes, whether solid, liquid or gaseous in nature.  Except for such instances as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, to the Company’s Knowledge, there are
            no past or present events, conditions, circumstances, incidents, actions or omissions relating to or in any way affecting the Company or its Subsidiaries that violate or would reasonably be expected to violate any Environmental Law after the
            Effective Date or that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any environmental liability, or otherwise form the basis of any claim, action, demand, suit, proceeding, hearing, study or investigation (i) under any Environmental Law, or
            (ii) based on or related to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage (including without limitation underground storage tanks), disposal, transport or handling, or the emission, discharge, release or threatened release
            of any hazardous substance.

        Section 5.17     Material Agreements

        Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company is a party to any written or oral contract,
            instrument, agreement commitment, obligation, plan or arrangement, a copy of which would be required to be filed with the Commission as an exhibit to an annual report on Form 20-F (collectively, “Material Agreements”) and which has not been or will not be so filed as an exhibit to an annual report on Form 20-F.  Except as disclosed in the Commission Documents, the Company and each of its
            Subsidiaries have performed in all material respects all the obligations required to be performed by them under the Material Agreements, have received no notice of default or an event of default by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
            thereunder and are not aware of any basis for the assertion thereof, and neither the Company or any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, any other contracting party thereto are in default under any Material Agreement now in
            effect, except in each case, the result of which would not have a Material Adverse Effect.  Except as disclosed in the Commission Documents, each of the Material Agreements is in full force and effect, and constitutes a legal, valid and binding
            obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms against the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries and, to the Knowledge of the Company, each other contracting party thereto, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable
            bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general
            application.

        Section 5.18     Transactions With Affiliates

        Except as disclosed in the Commission Documents or in Schedule 5.18, there are no loans, leases,
            agreements, contracts, royalty agreements, management contracts, service arrangements or other continuing transactions exceeding $120,000 between (a) the Company or any Subsidiary, on the one hand, and (b) any Person who would be covered by
            Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K, on the

        
          15

          
            

        

        

        

        other hand.  Except as disclosed in the Commission Documents, there are no outstanding amounts payable to or
            receivable from, or advances by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is otherwise a creditor of or debtor to, any beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common
            Stock, or any director, employee or Affiliate of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than (i) reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) as part of the normal and
            customary terms of such Persons’ employment or service as a director with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

        Section 5.19     Employees

        Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company has any collective bargaining arrangements
            or agreements covering any of its employees.  No officer, consultant or key employee of the Company or any Subsidiary whose termination, either individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect,
            has terminated or, to the Knowledge of the Company, has any present intention of terminating his or her employment or engagement with the Company or any Subsidiary.

        Section 5.20     Use of Proceeds

            working capital and general corporate purposes.

        The Company is not, and as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
            Agreement and the application of the proceeds from the sale of the Shares as set forth herein, shall not be, an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
            as amended.

        Section 5.22     Taxes

        The Company (i) has filed all federal, state and foreign income and franchise tax returns or has
            duly requested extensions thereof, except for those the failure of which to file would not have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) has paid all federal, state, local and foreign taxes due and payable for which it is liable, except to the extent
            that any such taxes are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, except for such taxes the failure of which to pay would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and (iii) does not have any tax deficiency or claims outstanding
            or assessed or, to the Company’s Knowledge, proposed against it which would have a Material Adverse Effect.  There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the Company has no
            Knowledge of any basis for any such claim.  Based on its current activities, the Company is not operated in such a manner as to qualify as a passive foreign investment company, as defined in Section 1297 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of
            1986, as amended.

        Section 5.23     Insurance

        The Company and its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility

            agent, employee, affiliate or other Person acting on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, is aware of or has taken any action, directly or indirectly, that would result in a violation by such Persons of the Foreign Corrupt

        Section 5.26     Money Laundering Laws

            agent, employee, affiliate or Person acting on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”); and the Company will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the offering, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to
            any subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person, for the purpose of financing the activities of any Person currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC.

        Section 5.28     Manipulation of Price

        ARTICLE VI

            COVENANTS

        The Company covenants with each Investor, and each Investor covenants with the Company, as
            follows, which covenants of one party are for the benefit of the other party, during the Investment Period:

        Section 6.1     Securities Compliance

        (i)      The Company shall notify the Trading Market, as required, in accordance with its rules and regulations, of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall take all necessary action, undertake all proceedings and
            obtain all registrations, permits, consents and approvals for the legal and valid issuance of the Securities to the Investors in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall
            take all reasonably necessary action, undertake all proceedings and obtain all registrations, permits, consents and approvals in order to (i) qualify the Securities for offering and sale to the Investors, or to obtain an exemption for the
            Securities to be offered and sold to the Investors and (ii) qualify the Securities for offer and resale by the Investors or to obtain an exemption for the Securities to be offered and resold by the Investor, in each case under the applicable
            securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions (domestic or foreign) as the Investors may reasonably designate, and to maintain such qualifications and exemptions in effect for so long as required for the distribution of the Securities
            (but in no event for less than one year from the date of this Agreement); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so
            qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject. In each jurisdiction in which the Securities have been so qualified or exempt, the Company will file such
            statements and reports as may be required by the laws of such jurisdiction to continue such qualification or exemption, as the case may be, in effect for so long as required for the distribution of the Securities (but in no event for less than
            one year from the date of this Agreement).

        Section 6.2     Registration and Listing

        The Company shall take all action necessary to cause the Common Stock to continue to be
            registered as a class of securities under Sections 12(b) of the Exchange Act, shall comply in all material respects with its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act, and shall not take any action or file any document (whether or
            not permitted by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) to terminate or suspend such registration or to terminate or suspend its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act or Securities Act, except as permitted herein.  Without
            limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall file all reports, schedules, registrations, forms, statements, information and other documents required to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act,
            including all material required to be filed pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, in each case within the time periods required by the Exchange Act (giving effect to permissible extensions in accordance with Rule
            12b-25 under the Exchange Act).  The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on the Trading Market, and shall comply with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under
            the bylaws, listed securities

        
          19

          
            

        

        

        

        maintenance standards and other rules and regulations of FINRA and the Trading Market.  The Company shall not take
            any action which could reasonably be expected to result in the delisting or suspension of the Common Stock on the Trading Market.

        Section 6.3     Compliance with Laws.

        (i)      The Company shall comply, and cause each Subsidiary to comply, (a) with all laws, rules, regulations, permits and orders applicable to the business and operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, except as would not
            have a Material Adverse Effect and (b) with all applicable provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations of the FINRA and the listing standards of the Trading Market.  Without limiting the foregoing: (A) neither
            the Company nor any of its officers or directors (1) will take, directly or indirectly, any action designed or intended to cause or to result in, or which would in the future reasonably be expected to cause or result in, the stabilization or
            manipulation of the price of any security of the Company, in each case to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Securities, or (2) sell, bid for, purchase, or pay any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the Securities, other
            than, in the case of clause (2), compensation paid to Clarkson Platou Securities AS and/or its affiliates (“Clarkson Platou”) in connection with this
            Agreement; and (B) neither the Company, nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor to the Knowledge of the Company, any of their respective directors, officers, agents, employees or any other Persons acting on their behalf shall, in connection with the
            operation of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ respective businesses, (a) use any corporate funds for unlawful contributions, payments, gifts or entertainment or to make any unlawful expenditures relating to political activity to government
            officials, candidates or members of political parties or organizations, (b) pay, accept or receive any unlawful contributions, payments, expenditures or gifts, or (c) violate or operate in noncompliance with any applicable export restrictions,
            anti-boycott regulations, embargo regulations or other applicable domestic or foreign laws and regulations, including, without limitation, the FCPA and the Money Laundering Laws. The Company shall conduct its business in such a manner as will
            ensure that the Company will not be deemed to constitute a passive foreign investment company within the meaning of Section 1297 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

        (ii)      Each Investor shall comply with all laws, rules, regulations and orders applicable to the performance by it of its obligations under this Agreement and its investment in the Securities, except as would not, individually or
            in the aggregate, prohibit or otherwise interfere with the ability of the Investor to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Investors shall comply with all
            applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including Regulation M thereunder, and any applicable securities laws of any non-U.S. jurisdictions. Neither the Investors nor any of its officers or directors will take,
            directly or indirectly, any action designed or intended to cause or to result in, or which would in the future reasonably be expected to cause or result in, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company, in each
            case to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Securities.

        Section 6.4     Limitations on Holdings and Issuances

        Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Mackenzie Funds shall not purchase or
            acquire, or be obligated or have the right to purchase or acquire, any shares of Common

        
          20

          
            

        

        

        

        Stock pursuant to this Agreement which, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then beneficially
            owned (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder) by the Investor and its Affiliates, would result in the beneficial ownership by the Investor of in excess of the Ownership Limitation. If
            the Company issues a Fixed Request Notice with respect to any Fixed Request that would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3
            promulgated thereunder) by the Mackenzie Funds and their Affiliates to exceed the Ownership Limitation, such Fixed Request shall be void ab initio to the extent of the amount by which the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable
            pursuant to such Fixed Request, together with all shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder) by the Investor and its Affiliates, would
            exceed the Ownership Limitation. Upon the written or oral request of the Mackenzie Funds, the Company shall promptly (but not later than the next Trading Day) confirm orally or in writing to the Investor the number of shares of Common Stock
            then outstanding. The Mackenzie Funds and the Company shall each cooperate in good faith in the determinations required hereby and the application hereof.  The Mackenzie Funds’ written certification to the Company of the applicability of the
            Ownership Limitation, and the resulting effect thereof hereunder at any time, shall be conclusive with respect to the applicability thereof and such result absent manifest error. The limitations contained in this Section 6.4 may not be waived
            by the Company or the Mackenzie Funds.

        Section 6.5     Selling Restrictions.

        (i)      Except as expressly set forth below, each Investor covenants that from and after the date hereof through and including the termination of this Agreement (the “Restricted Period”), neither the Investors nor any of its Affiliates nor any entity managed or controlled by the Investor (collectively, the “Restricted Persons” and each of the foregoing is referred to herein as a “Restricted Person”) shall, directly or indirectly, (x)
            engage in any Short Sales involving the Company’s securities or (y) grant any option to purchase, or acquire any right to dispose of or otherwise dispose for value of, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable

            understood and agreed that nothing contained herein shall (without implication that the contrary would otherwise be true) prohibit any Restricted Person during the Restricted Period from:  (1) selling “long” (as defined under Rule 200
            promulgated under Regulation SHO) any shares of Common Stock (including the Securities). In addition to the foregoing, in connection with any sale of Securities (including any sale permitted by paragraph (i) above), the Investors shall comply
            in all respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders, including, without limitation, the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

            employees or agents shall disclose any material non-public information about the Company to the Investors, unless a simultaneous public announcement thereof is made by the Company in the manner contemplated by Regulation FD.  In the event of a
            breach of the foregoing

        
          21

          
            

        

        

        

        covenant by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees and
            agents, on the Cleansing Date (defined below) and in compliance with the conditions set forth below, the Investors may publicly disclose such information without the prior approval by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their
            respective directors, officers, employees or agents, to the extent the Investors (in its reasonable good faith judgment) deems such information to be material non-public information, in the form of a press release, public advertisement or
            otherwise; provided, however, prior to exercising this
            right, each Investor shall provide the Company with written notice of the Company's alleged failure to disclose such information, which notice shall (i) include a description of the disclosure that the Investors intends to make and (ii) provide
            the Company with at least one (1) business day to cure such failure (the first business day following such one-business day cure period, the “Cleansing Date”).

            The Investors shall not have any liability to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, stockholders or agents, for any such disclosure.

        (i)      From time to time during the Investment Period, the Company shall be permitted to update the Disclosure Schedule as may be required to satisfy the condition set forth in Section 7.2(i).  Notwithstanding anything in this
            Agreement to the contrary, no update to the Disclosure Schedule pursuant to this Section 6.8 shall cure any prior breach of a representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement and shall not affect any of the Investors’
            rights or remedies with respect thereto.

        (ii)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Disclosure Schedule or in this Agreement, the information and disclosure contained in any Schedule of the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be disclosed and
            incorporated by reference in any other Schedule of the Disclosure Schedule as though fully set forth in such Schedule for which applicability of such information and disclosure is readily apparent on its face.  The fact that any item of
            information is disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule shall not be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed by this Agreement.  Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, such information and the thresholds
            (whether based on quantity, qualitative characterization, dollar amounts or otherwise) set forth herein shall not be used as a basis for interpreting the terms “material” or “Material Adverse Effect” or other similar terms in this Agreement.

        Unless earlier terminated as provided hereunder, this Agreement shall terminate automatically on
            the earliest of (i) the first day of the month next following the 12-month anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Investment Period”) and (ii) the date the Investors shall have purchased or acquired shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement equal to the Aggregate Limit.  Subject to

        Section 8.2     Effect of Termination

        In the event of termination by the Company or the Investors pursuant to Section 8.1, written
            notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other party as provided in Section 10.4 and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be terminated without further action by either party.  If this Agreement is terminated as provided

        ARTICLE IX

            INDEMNIFICATION

        Section 9.1     General Indemnity.

        (i)      Indemnification by the Company.  The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Investor, each of its
            directors, officers, partners, employees, investment managers, investment advisors and Affiliates, and each Person, if any, who controls the Investors within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act
            from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable costs of defense and investigation and all reasonable attorneys’ fees) to which each Investor and each such other Person may become subject insofar as
            such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arise out of or are based upon any violation of United States federal or state securities laws or the rules and regulations of the Trading Market in connection with the transactions
            contemplated by this Agreement by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors or employees, provided, however, that (A) the Company shall not be liable under this Section 9.1(i) to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a
            final judgment (from

        
          26

          
            

        

        

        

        which no further appeals are available) that such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense resulted directly and
            solely from any such acts or failures to act, undertaken or omitted to be taken by the Investors or such Person through its bad faith or willful misconduct and (B) the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any loss, claim, damage, liability or
            expense to the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
            Company by or on behalf of the Investors expressly.

        The Company shall reimburse each Investor and each such controlling Person promptly upon demand
            (with accompanying presentation of documentary evidence) for all legal and other costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Investors or such indemnified Persons in investigating, defending against, or preparing to defend against any such
            claim, action, suit or proceeding with respect to which it is entitled to indemnification.

        (ii)      Indemnification by the Investors.  Each Investor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its
            directors, officers, employees and Affiliates, and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act from and against all losses, claims, damages,
            liabilities and expenses (including reasonable costs of defense and investigation and all reasonable attorneys’ fees) to which the Company and each such other Person may become subject, relating to this Agreement or the transactions
            contemplated hereby, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses directly and solely arise out of or are directly and solely based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in this
            Agreement.

        Each Investor shall reimburse the Company and each such director, officer or controlling Person
            promptly upon demand for all legal and other costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or such indemnified Persons in investigating, defending against, or preparing to defend against any such claim, action, suit or proceeding with
            respect to which it is entitled to indemnification.

        Section 9.2     Indemnification Procedures

        Promptly after a Person receives notice of a claim or the commencement of an action for which the
            Person intends to seek indemnification under Section 9.1, the Person will notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or commencement of the action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from liability
            under Section 9.1, except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by the failure to give notice.  The indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in the defense of any claim, action, suit or proceeding as to which indemnification
            is being sought, and if the indemnifying party acknowledges in writing the obligation to indemnify the party against whom the claim or action is brought, the indemnifying party may (but will not be required to) assume the defense against the
            claim, action, suit or proceeding with counsel satisfactory to it.  After an indemnifying party notifies an indemnified party that the indemnifying party wishes to assume the defense of a claim, action, suit or proceeding, the indemnifying
            party will not be liable for any legal or other expenses incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding except that if, in the opinion of counsel to the indemnifying party, one or
            more of the indemnified parties should be separately represented in connection with

        
          27

          
            

        

        

        

        a claim, action, suit or proceeding, the indemnifying party will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one
            separate counsel for the indemnified parties.  Each indemnified party, as a condition to receiving indemnification as provided in Section 9.1, will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the indemnifying party in the defense of any action or
            claim as to which indemnification is sought.  No indemnifying party will be liable for any settlement of any action effected without its prior written consent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall
            have requested (by written notice provided in accordance with Section 10.4) an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of
            the nature contemplated hereby effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received
            written notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of
            such settlement.  No indemnifying party will, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of a pending or threatened action with respect to which an indemnified party is, or is informed that it may be, made
            a party and for which it would be entitled to indemnification, unless the settlement includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability and claims which are the subject matter of the pending or threatened action.

        If for any reason the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is not available to, or is
            not sufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party in respect of any loss or liability referred to in Section 9.1 as to which such indemnified party is entitled to indemnification thereunder, each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of
            indemnifying the indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss or liability, (i) in the proportion which is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the
            indemnifying party, on the one hand, and by the indemnified party, on the other hand, from the sale of Securities which is the subject of the claim, action, suit or proceeding which resulted in the loss or liability or (ii) if the allocation
            provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above, but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand,
            and the indemnified party, on the other hand, with respect to the statements or omissions which are the subject of the claim, action, suit or proceeding that resulted in the loss or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable
            considerations.

        The remedies provided for in Section 9.1 and this Section 9.2 are not exclusive and shall not
            limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified Person at law or in equity.

            MISCELLANEOUS

        Section 10.1     Fees and Expenses.

        and other similar transfer and other taxes and duties levied in connection with issuance of the Securities pursuant
            hereto.

        (ii)      If the Company issues a Fixed Request Notice and fails to deliver the Shares (which have been approved for listing or quotation on the Trading Market, if such an approval is required for the listing or quotation thereof on
            the Trading Market) to the Investors on the applicable Settlement Date, subject to prior payment, and such failure continues for 10 Trading Days, the Company shall pay the Investors, in cash (or, at the option of the Investors, in shares of
            Common Stock which have not been registered under the Securities Act valued at the applicable Discount Price of the Shares failed to be delivered; provided that the issuance thereof by the Company would not violate the Securities Act or any
            applicable U.S. federal or state securities laws), as partial damages for such failure and not as a penalty, an amount equal to 2.0% of the payment required to be paid by the Investors on such Settlement Date for the initial 30 days following
            such Settlement Date until the Shares (which have been approved for listing or quotation on the Trading Market, if such an approval is required for the listing or quotation thereof on the Trading Market) have been delivered, and an additional
            2.0% for each additional 30-day period thereafter until the Shares (which have been approved for listing or quotation on the Trading Market, if such an approval is required for the listing or quotation thereof on the Trading Market) have been
            delivered, which amount shall be prorated for such periods less than 30 days.  Nothing in this Section 10.1(ii) shall be deemed to release the Company from any liability for any breach under this Agreement, or to impair the rights of the
            Investors to compel specific performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement.

        Section 10.2     Specific Enforcement, Consent to Jurisdiction, Waiver of Jury Trial.

        (i)     The Company and the Investor acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise
            breached.  It is accordingly agreed that either party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement by the other party and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions
            hereof (without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required), this being in addition to any other remedy to which either party may be entitled by law or equity.

        (ii)      Each of the Company and each of the Investors (a) hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court and other courts of the United States sitting in the City and State of New York, Borough of
            Manhattan, for the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and (b) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to
            the jurisdiction of such court, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. By the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company acknowledges
            that it has, by separate written instrument, irrevocably designated and appointed Seward & Kissel LLP, located at One Battery Park Plaza, New York, NY 10004 (together with any successor, the "Agent for Service") as its authorized agent upon which process may be served in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement that may be instituted in any court of the
            United States sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, or brought under federal or state securities laws, and acknowledges that the Agent for Service has accepted such designation. The Company further agrees to take any and all
            action, including the execution and filing of any and all such documents and instruments, as may be necessary to continue such designation and appointment of the Agent

        
          29

          
            

        

        

        

        for Service in full force and effect so long as any of the Securities shall be outstanding.  The Company and each of
            the Investor consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof 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 in this Section 10.2 shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

        (iii)      EACH OF THE COMPANY AND EACH INVESTOR HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR
            IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR DISPUTES RELATING HERETO.  EACH OF THE COMPANY AND EACH INVESTOR (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY
            OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTY HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE
            MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.2.

        Section 10.3     Entire Agreement; Amendment

        This Agreement, together with the exhibits referred to herein and the Disclosure Schedule,
            represents the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by either party relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth herein. 
            No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by a written instrument signed by the Parties hereto.  The Disclosure Schedule and all exhibits to this Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference in, and made a part of, this
            Agreement as if set forth in full herein.

        Section 10.5     Waivers

        
          31

          
            

        

        

        

        

        

        No waiver by either party 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 other provisions, 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 accruing to it thereafter.  No provision of this Agreement may be waived other than in a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought.

        Section 10.6     Headings; Construction

        The article, section and subsection headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall
            not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.  Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the
            masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof.  The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.”  The terms “herein,”
            “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.  The Parties agree that each of them and their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise
            this Agreement 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 this Agreement.  Any reference in this Agreement to
            “Dollars” or “$” shall mean the lawful currency of the United States of America.

        Section 10.7     Successors and Assigns

        The Investors may not assign this Agreement to any Person without the prior consent of the
            Company, in the Company’s sole discretion.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their successors and assigns.  The assignment by a party to this Agreement of any rights hereunder shall not affect the
            obligations of such party under this Agreement.

        Section 10.8     Governing Law

        This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal procedural and
            substantive laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the choice of law provisions of such state that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

        Section 10.9     Survival

        The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company and each of the
            Investors contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery hereof until the termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) the provisions of Article VIII (Termination), Article IX (Indemnification), Section 10.1
            (Fees and Expenses), Section 10.2 (Specific Enforcement, Consent to Jurisdiction, Waiver of Jury Trial), Section 10.4 (Notices), Section 10.8 (Governing Law), Section 10.11 (Publicity), Section 10.12 (Severability) and this Section 10.9
            (Survival) shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination, (ii) if the Investors own any Securities at the time of such termination, the covenants and agreements of the Company and the Investors, as applicable, contained
            in Section 6.1(i) (Securities Compliance), Section 6.3 (Compliance with Laws), Section 6.7 (Broker/Dealer) shall remain in

        
          32

          
            

        

        

        

        full force and effect notwithstanding such termination for a period of six months following such termination, and
            (iii) if the Investors own any Securities at the time of such termination, the covenants and agreements of the Company contained in Section 6.2 (Registration and Listing) shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination
            for a period of 30 days following such termination.

        Section 10.10     Counterparts

        This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one
            and the same original and binding instrument and shall become effective when all counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other Parties hereto, it being understood that all Parties hereto need not sign the same
            counterpart.  In the event any signature is delivered by facsimile, digital or electronic transmission, such transmission shall constitute delivery of the manually executed original and the party using such means of delivery shall thereafter
            cause four additional executed signature pages to be physically delivered to the other Parties within five days of the execution and delivery hereof.  Failure to provide or delay in the delivery of such additional executed signature pages shall
            not adversely affect the efficacy of the original delivery.

        Section 10.11     Publicity

        Each Investor shall have the right to reasonably approve, prior to issuance or filing, any press
            release, Commission filing or any other public disclosure made by or on behalf of the Company relating to the Investor, its purchases hereunder or any aspect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (unless the same disclosure
            has been previously reviewed and approved by the Investor); provided, however, that except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of the Investor, to make any press release or other
            public disclosure (including any filings with the Commission) with respect thereto as is required by applicable law and regulations (including the regulations of the Trading Market), so long as prior to making any such press release or other
            public disclosure, if reasonably practicable, the Company and its counsel shall have provided the Investor and its counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon, and shall have consulted with the Investor and its counsel on
            the form and substance of, such press release or other disclosure.

        Section 10.12     Severability

        The provisions of this Agreement are severable and, in the event that any court of competent
            jurisdiction shall determine that any one or more of the provisions or part of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or
            unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or part of a provision of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be reformed and construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision, or part of such provision, had never
            been contained herein, so that such provisions would be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent possible.

        Section 10.13     Third Party Beneficiaries

        
          33

            Offshore in Article IV, the representations and warranties of the Company in Article V, and the indemnification and contribution provisions in Article IX.

        (b) Except as expressly provided in Section 10.13(a) and Article IX, this Agreement is intended only for the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective permitted
            successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.

        Section 10.14     Further Assurances

        From and after the date of this Agreement, upon the request of the Investors or the Company, each
            of the Company and the Investors shall execute and deliver such instrument, documents and other writings as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to confirm and carry out and to effectuate fully the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

      (c)      Acquisition for Investment.  The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares for its own account for the purpose of investment and not with a view to or for sale in connection with a distribution.  The Purchaser does not have an

          advertisements or sales literature, including (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media, or broadcast over television or radio, or (ii) any seminar or meeting to which the
          Purchaser was invited by any of the foregoing means of communications.

          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 sale of the Shares and the merits and risks of investing
          in the 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.  The Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees
          that except for the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, the Company has not made any representation or warranty, express or implied, of any nature whatsoever concerning the Shares or the Company.  The Purchaser has sought
          such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed decision with respect to its acquisition of the Shares.

      (g)      Brokers.
          The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless against any liability for commissions, fees or other compensation in the nature of a broker’s or finder’s fee to any broker or other nature of a broker’s or finder’s fee to any
          broker or other person or firm (and the costs and expenses of defending against such liability) for which the Purchaser, or any of its employees or representatives, is responsible.

       

        

      (h)     Reliance on Exemption.  The Purchaser understands that the Shares are being offered and sold in reliance on a specific exemption from the registration
          requirement of federal and state securities laws and the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the
          availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire the Shares.

          counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other Parties hereto, it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such
          signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature were the original thereof.

          The provisions of this Agreement are severable and, in the event that any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any one or more of the provisions or part of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held
          to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or part of a provision of this Agreement and such provision shall be reformed and construed as if such
          invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision, or part of such provision, had never been contained herein, so that such provisions would be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent possible.
