8% Subordinated Convertible Note
due January 31, 2019

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED,
AIR INDUSTRIES GROUP, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) hereby promises to pay to the order of or assigns (the "Holder"),
without demand, the sum of __________ Dollars ($ ), together with accrued interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof, on January
31, 2019 (the "Maturity Date"), or such earlier date as the same may become due as provided in Section 3 hereof.

 

Interest on the
unpaid principal amount of this Note shall be payable at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, in cash, or if the Company is
prohibited by applicable law or the holder of the Senior Indebtedness from paying interest in cash, or otherwise elects to do so,
the Company may pay interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum in the form of additional notes having the same terms
and conditions as this Note, on the last day of February, May, August and November of each year, commencing May 31, 2017 (each
an “Interest Payment Date”) from the date of issuance or the most recent Interest Payment Date until the principal
and accrued interest hereon has been paid in full. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default (as defined in Section
3 below), interest shall accrue and be payable in cash at the rate of 12% per annum. Interest on this Note shall be calculated
based upon a year consisting of 365 days and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring
in the period for which interest is payable.

 

This Note is one
of a series of the Company’s two-year 8% subordinated convertible notes due January 31, 2019 (together with any other Notes
issued as contemplated by this Note, the “Notes”).

 

This Note may be prepaid
in whole or in part at any time but only with the prior consent of the Holder. All payments made pursuant to this Note shall be
applied first to reimbursable expenses, interest accrued, if any, and then principal.

 

The following is a
statement of rights of the Holder and the conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which the Holder, by acceptance of this
Note, agrees:

 

1.     Subordination. (a)This
Note will be subordinate and inferior to the Company’s Senior Indebtedness (as hereinafter defined). The Company for itself,
its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees and the Holder of this Note, for himself, his successors and assigns, by his acceptance
of this Note likewise covenants and agrees that, to the extent provided below, the payment of all amounts due pursuant to this
Note is hereby expressly subordinated and junior in right of payment to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to
the Company’s Senior Indebtedness. As used herein, the term “Senior Indebtedness” shall mean the principal of,
and interest and premium, if any, on any and all, (i) indebtedness of the Company for borrowed money or obligations with respect
to which the Company is a guarantor, to banks, insurance companies, or other financial institutions or entities regularly engaged
in the business of lending money, in each case as in effect as of the date hereof (other than the Notes), or as may be borrowed
hereafter, including without limitation, indebtedness incurred by one or more of the Company’s subsidiaries under the Amended
and Restated Revolving Credit, Term Loan, Equipment Line and Security Agreement, dated as of June 27, 2013 among Air Industries
Machining, Corp., Welding Metallurgy, Inc., Nassau Tool Works, Inc., Woodbine Products Inc., Eur-Pac Corporation, Electronic Connection
Corporation, The Sterling Engineering Corporation, and PNC Bank, National Association, as agent for the various lenders named therein,
as amended as of the date hereof (the “Loan Agreement”), the payment of which has been guaranteed by the Company and
Air Realty Group, LLC (the “Guarantors”), (ii) any such indebtedness or any debentures, notes or other evidence of
indebtedness issued in exchange for or to refinance such Senior Indebtedness, or any indebtedness arising from the satisfaction
of such Senior Indebtedness by a Guarantor, provided that such indebtedness issued in exchange for or to refinance Senior Indebtedness
or arising from the satisfaction of Senior Indebtedness by a Guarantor is on commercially reasonable terms as of the date of incurrence
not to exceed the principal amount under such Senior Indebtedness and provided further that the Company provides the Holder with
prior written notice of such action.

 

    

     

    

 

(b)     Upon the
acceleration of any Senior Indebtedness or upon the maturity of all or any portion of the principal amount of any Senior Indebtedness
by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise, all such Senior Indebtedness which has been so accelerated or matured shall first
indefeasibly be paid in full before any payment is made by the Company or any person acting on behalf of the Company on account
of any obligations evidenced by this Note.

 

(c)     The Company
shall not pay any principal portion of this Note, or interest accrued hereon, if at such time there exists a Blockage Event (as
hereafter defined) and written notice thereof has been given to the Company and the Holder by the holders of the Senior Indebtedness.

 

(d)     A “Blockage
Event” is deemed to exist for the period of time commencing on the date of receipt by the Holder of written notice of the
occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default (as defined in the instruments evidencing the Senior Indebtedness), provided that
the failure to pay accrued interest on this Note or the other Notes when due shall not give rise to a Blockage Event in the absence
of another Default or Event of Default, which notice shall specify such Default or Event of Default, and ending on:

 

(i)     the date
such Default or Event of Default under the Senior Indebtedness, as applicable, is cured or waived, provided that such Default or
Event of Default is the result of the failure to pay any amount due thereunder; or

 

(ii)     in the
case of any other Default or Event of Default under the Senior Indebtedness, the earlier of (A) the date on which Holder has received
written notice of such Default or Event of Default shall have been cured or waived and (B) the date that is 365 days after the
occurrence of such Default or Event of Default, provided that a Blockage Event with respect to a single specified Default or Event
of Default may be deemed to occur only once for each twelve-month period, provided, further, that no Default or Event of Default
that existed at the commencement of, or during the pendency of, a Blockage Event shall serve as the basis for the institution of
any subsequent Blockage Event.

 

A Blockage Event shall
not be deemed to have existed during the period of time commencing on the date upon which the holder of this Note or holders of
other Notes accelerate payment of the principal amount of this Note or such other Notes as a result of any Event of Default hereunder
or under such other Notes and ending on the 365th day after written notice of such acceleration given by the holder
or such other holders to the Company and the holders of the instruments evidencing the Senior Indebtedness; provided that in no
event shall the Company pay the holder of this Note or the holders of any other Notes the principal amount so accelerated if a
Blockage Event then exists until the Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full.

 

    

     

    

 

(e)       At
any time there exists a Blockage Event, (i) the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, make any payment of any part of this
Note, (ii) the Holder shall not demand or accept from the Company or any other person any such payment or cancel, set-off or otherwise
discharge any part of the indebtedness represented by this Note, and (iii) neither the Company nor the Holder shall otherwise take
or permit any action prejudicial to or inconsistent with the priority position of any holder of Senior Indebtedness over the Holder
of this Note.

 

(f)       No
right of any holder of Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination provisions of this obligation shall be impaired by any
act or failure to act by the Company or the Holder or by their failure to comply with this Note or any other agreement or document
evidencing, related to or securing the obligations hereunder. Without in any way limiting the generality of the preceding sentence,
the holders of Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Holder, without
incurring responsibility to the Holder and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Note or the obligations
of the Holder to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms
of payment of any Senior Indebtedness provided that such change does not materially impact Holder in an adverse manner; (ii) sell,
exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing any Senior Indebtedness; (iii) release
any person or entity liable in any manner for the collection of any Senior Indebtedness; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising
any rights against the Company or any other person or entity.

 

(g)       In
the event that the Company shall make any payment or prepayment to the Holder on account of the obligations under this Note which
is prohibited by this Section, such payment shall be held by the Holder, in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid forthwith
over and delivered to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness (pro rata as to each of such holders on the basis of the respective amounts
and priorities of Senior Indebtedness held by them) to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness due to such holders
of Senior Indebtedness in full in accordance with its terms (whether or not such Senior Indebtedness is due and owing), after giving
effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

 

(h)       After
all Senior Indebtedness indefeasibly is paid in full and until the obligations under the Note are paid in full, the Holder shall
be subrogated to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Holder
have been applied to the payment of Senior Indebtedness. For purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to holders
of such Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to which the Holder would be entitled except for the provisions
of this Section and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Section to holders of such Senior Indebtedness by the Holder,
shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than holders of such Senior Indebtedness, and the Holder, be deemed to be a
payment by the Company to or on account of such Senior Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of this Section are
solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, on the one hand and the Holder,
on the other hand.

 

(i)       In
any insolvency, receivership, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization proceeding, or in any other proceeding, whether
voluntary or involuntary, by or against the Company under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or laws relating to relief of debtors,
to compositions, extensions or readjustments of indebtedness:

 

    

     

    

 

(i)     the claims
of any holders of Senior Indebtedness against the Company shall be paid indefeasibly in full in cash or such payment shall have
been provided for in a manner acceptable to the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding principal amount of the
Senior Indebtedness before any payment is made to the Holder;

 

(ii)     until all
Senior Indebtedness is indefeasibly paid in full in cash or such payment shall have been provided for in a manner acceptable to
the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding principal amount of the Senior Indebtedness before any payment is made
to the Holder, any distribution to which the Holder would be entitled but for this Section shall be made to holders of Senior Indebtedness,
except for distribution of securities issued by the Company which are subordinate and junior in right of payment to the Senior
Indebtedness; and

 

(iii)       the
holders of Senior Indebtedness shall have the right to enforce, collect and receive every such payment or distribution and give
acquittance therefor. If, in or as a result of any action case or proceeding under Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended
from time to time, or any comparable statute, relating to the Company, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness return, refund or
repay to the Company, or any trustee or committee appointed in such case or proceeding receive any payment or proceeds of any collateral
in connection with such action, case or proceeding alleging that the receipt of such payments or proceeds by the holders of the
Senior Indebtedness was a transfer voidable under state or federal law, then the holders of the Senior Indebtedness shall not be
deemed ever to have received such payments or proceeds for purposes of this Note in determining whether and when all Senior Indebtedness
has been paid in full and the Company shall pay or cause to be paid, and the Holder shall be entitled to receive any such funds,
proceeds or collateral to satisfy all amounts due hereunder. In the event the holders of Senior Indebtedness receive amounts in
excess of payment in full (cash) of amounts outstanding in respect of Senior Indebtedness (without giving effect to whether claims
in respect of the Senior Indebtedness are allowed in any insolvency proceeding), the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall pay such
excess amounts to the Holder.

 

(k)       By
its acceptance of this Note, the Holder agrees to execute and deliver such documents as may be reasonably requested from time to
time by the Company or the holder of any Senior Indebtedness in order to implement the foregoing provisions of this Section.

 

2.      Conversion At
the Option of the Holder.

 

(a) (1) The Holder shall
have the option at any time while this Note remains outstanding to convert the unpaid principal amount and accrued interest thereon
into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price of $____ per share, subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 2(c) below (the “Conversion Price”). The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon any conversion of this
Note shall equal the outstanding principal amount of this Note to be converted, plus the amount of any accrued but unpaid interest
on this Note through the date (the “Conversion Date”) the Company receives a notice of conversion in the form of Schedule
I annexed hereto (a “Conversion Notice”), divided by the Conversion Price on the Conversion Date. The Holder shall
effect conversions under this Section 2(a)(1) by delivering to the Company a Conversion Notice, together with a schedule in the
form of Schedule II annexed hereto (the “Conversion Schedule”). If the Holder is converting less than all of the principal
amount of this Note, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder a Conversion Schedule indicating the principal amount (and
accrued interest) which has not been converted.

 

(2) Upon conversion of
this Note, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than three (3) trading days after the Conversion Date) issue or cause
to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate
a certificate for the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the “Conversion
Shares”). The Holder, or any person so designated by the Holder to receive
the Conversion Shares, shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Conversion Shares as of the Conversion Date. The
Company shall, upon request of the Holder, use its reasonable best efforts to deliver the Conversion Shares electronically through
DTC.

 

    

     

    

  

(3) The Holder shall
not be required to deliver the original Note in order to effect a conversion hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Conversion
Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Note and issuance of a new Note representing the remaining outstanding
principal amount; provided that the cancellation of the original Note shall not be deemed effective until a certificate
for the Conversion Shares is delivered to the Holder, or the Holder or its designee receives a credit for the Conversion Shares
to its balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System. The Holder shall deliver the original Note
to the Company within thirty (30) days after the conversion of the entire Note hereunder, provided, that the Holder’s
failure to so deliver the original Note shall not affect the validity of such conversion or any of the Company’s obligations
under this Note, and the Company’s sole remedy for the Holder’s failure to deliver the original Note shall be to obtain
an affidavit of lost Note from the Holder.

 

(4) The Company’s
obligations to issue and deliver Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms and subject to the
conditions hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any
waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce
the same, or any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or
any other person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person,
and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection
with the issuance of such Conversion Shares (other than such limitations contemplated by this Note).

 

(5) If by the fifth
(5th) trading day after a Conversion Date the Company fails to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder such Conversion
Shares in such amounts and in the manner required pursuant to Section 2(a)(2), then
the Holder will have the right to rescind such conversion.

 

(6) If by the third
(3rd) trading day after a Conversion Date the Company fails to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder such Conversion
Shares in such amounts and in the manner required pursuant to Section 2(a)(2), and if after such third (3rd) trading
day the holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of common stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale
by the holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a “buy-in”), then
the Company shall, at the option of the Holder (in his or its sole discretion), either (i) pay cash to the Holder (in addition
to any other remedies available to or elected by the Holder) in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including
brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of common stock so purchased (the “buy-in price”), at which point the
Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such common stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor
its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such common stock and pay cash to the holder
in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the buy-in price over the product of (a) such number of shares of common stock, times
(b) the closing price on the date of the event giving rise to the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate.

 

(7) Each certificate
for Conversion Shares shall bear a restrictive legend and any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any
certificate bearing such legend, shall also bear such legend.

 

    

     

    

 

(b) No Fractional
Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Note.   As
to any fraction of a share which a Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall at its
election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the
volume weighted average price on the Conversion Date or round up to the next whole share.

 

(c) Adjustments to
Conversion Price. The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 2(c).

 

(1)      Stock Dividends
and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise
makes a distribution of Common Stock on its Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number
of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Conversion
Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such
event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for
the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii)
or (iii) of this Section shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

 

(2)      Pro Rata Distributions.
If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock (i) evidences of its indebtedness,
(ii) any security (other than a distribution of Common Stock described in Section 2(c)(1)(i)), (iii) rights or warrants
to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) cash or any other asset (in each case, “Distributed Property”),
then the Company shall deliver to the Holder (on the effective date of such distribution), the Distributed Property that the Holder
would have been entitled to receive in respect of the Conversion Shares for which this Note could have been converted immediately
prior to the date on which holders of Common Stock became entitled to receive such Distributed Property.

 

(3)      Fundamental
Changes. If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions
effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects
any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one
or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by
the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange
their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common
Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization
or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted
into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions
consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization,
recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group
acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person
or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share
purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion
of this Note, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each share of Common Stock that would have been issuable upon such
conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder, the number of shares
of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional
consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of
the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Note may be converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. For
purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate
Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental
Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting
the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice
as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice
as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company
shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor
Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents
in accordance with the provisions of this Section pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option
of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Note a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument
substantially similar in form and substance to this Note which is convertible into a corresponding number of shares of capital
stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion
of this Note (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with
conversion price which applies the conversion price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative
value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such
number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Note immediately
prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder.
Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that
from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note and the other Transaction Documents referring
to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company
and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect
as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

 

    

     

    

 

(4) Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 2(c) shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of
the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

 

(5) Notice of Adjustments.
Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 2D, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment
in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and deliver to the Holder a certificate describing in reasonable detail such adjustment
and the transactions giving rise thereto, including all facts upon which such adjustment is based.

 

(6) Notice of Corporate
Events. If the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of
its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock
of the Company, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for a Fundamental
Change or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company
shall deliver to the holders of the Notes a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction, at least twenty
(20) trading days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to
participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to ensure
that the holders of the Notes are given the practical opportunity to convert the Notes prior to such time so as to participate
in or vote with respect to such transaction.

Taglich Brothers, Inc.

790 New York Avenue, Suite 209

Huntington, New York 11743

Attn: Robert Schroeder, Vice President Investment Banking

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Introduction. Subject to the terms
and conditions herein (this “Agreement”), Air Industries Group, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”),
hereby agrees to offer and sell up to an aggregate of $1,200,000 principal amount of the Company’s Subordinated Convertible
Notes due January 31, 2019 (the “Notes”), together with five-year warrants to
purchase 7,692 shares of Common Stock for each $100,000 principal amount of Notes purchased (the “Offering”),
directly to various investors (each, an “Investor” and, collectively, the “Investors”)
through Taglich Brothers, Inc. (“Taglich Brothers”), as the exclusive placement agent (the “Placement
Agent”). The Offering will commence February 7, 2017, and terminate on the close of business on February 17, 2017 (the
“Initial Offering Period”), which period may be extended by the Company for up to an additional 10 days (this
additional period and the Initial Offering Period shall be referred to as the “Offering Period”). The Company
may hold a closing at any time during the Offering Period (the “First Closing”). Thereafter, the Issuer may
sell up to a maximum of $1,200,000 in Notes in the aggregate (the “Maximum Amount”), and further closings (“Further
Closings”) may from time to time be conducted with respect to the Notes sold until the termination or expiration of the
Offering Period. Each of the First Closing and Further Closings is referred to as a “Closing.”

 

The Notes are convertible,
at the option of the Investor, into shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Common
Stock”), at an initial conversion price of $3.25 per share, subject to certain adjustments in accordance with the provisions
of the Notes, except that for Investors who are officers, directors or otherwise deemed to be affiliates of the Company under the
rules of the NYSE MKT (each, an “Affiliate”), the initial conversion price of the Notes shall be the closing
price of the Company’s Common Stock as of the market close immediately prior to the closing of that Affiliate’s purchase
of the Notes.

 

The exercise price
of the Warrants shall be an amount equal to the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock as of the market close immediately
prior to the closing, subject to certain adjustments in accordance with the terms of the Warrant. The Company will enter into subscription
agreements with the Investors for the purchase of the Notes (the “Subscription Agreements”). The Placement Agent
may retain other brokers or dealers to act as co-placement agents, sub-agents or selected-dealers on its behalf in connection with
the Offering. The Notes, Warrants, and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes (the “Conversion Shares”)
and upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) are sometimes referred to collectively in this Agreement
as the “Securities.”

 

The Company hereby
confirms its agreement with the Placement Agent as follows:

 

    

     

    

 

Section 1.     Agreement
to Act as Placement Agent.

 

(a)       On
the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company herein contained, and subject to all the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, the Placement Agent shall be the exclusive Placement Agent in connection with the offering and sale by the Company
of the Notes with the terms of the Offering to be subject to market conditions and negotiations between the Company, the Placement
Agent and the prospective Investors. The Placement Agent will act on a reasonable best efforts basis and the Company agrees and
acknowledges that there is no guarantee of the successful placement of the Notes, or any portion thereof, in the prospective Offering.
Under no circumstances will the Placement Agent or any of its “Affiliates” (as defined below) be obligated to underwrite
or purchase any of the Notes for its own account or otherwise provide any financing. The Placement Agent shall act solely as the
Company’s agent and not as principal. The Placement Agent shall have no authority to bind the Company with respect to any
prospective offer to purchase the Notes and the Company shall have the sole right to accept offers to purchase the Notes and may
reject any such offer, in whole or in part. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, payment of the purchase price for, and
delivery of, the Notes shall be made at one or more closings. As compensation for services rendered, on the date of each Closing
(each, a “Closing Date”), the Company shall pay to the Placement Agent the fees and expenses set forth below:

 

(i)       A
cash fee (the “Cash Fee”) equal to 8% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Notes
at the Closing of the Offering.

 

(ii)       For
an aggregate purchase price of $50, such number of Common Stock purchase warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”)
shall be issued to the Placement Agent or its designees at each Closing to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to
10% of the aggregate number of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon immediate conversion of the Notes sold at such Closing.
The Placement Agent Warrants shall be in a customary form reasonably acceptable to the Placement Agent and shall have an exercise
price equal to closing price of the Company’s Common Stock as of the market close immediately prior to the closing and an
expiration date of January 31, 2022.

 

(b)       The
term of the Placement Agent’s exclusive engagement will be until the completion of the Offering (the “Exclusive
Term”); provided, however, that either the Company or the Placement Agent may terminate the engagement
with respect to itself at any time upon 10 days written notice to the other parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, the provisions concerning confidentiality, indemnification and contribution contained herein and the Company’s obligations
contained in the indemnification provisions will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement, and the Company’s
obligation to pay fees actually earned and payable and to reimburse expenses actually incurred and reimbursable pursuant to Section
1 hereof, will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit the
ability of the Placement Agent or its Affiliates to pursue, investigate, analyze, invest in, or engage in investment banking, financial
advisory or any other business relationship with Persons (as defined below) other than the Company. As used herein (i) “Persons”
means 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 and (ii) “Affiliate”
means any Person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common
control with a Person as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”).

 

    

     

    

 

Section 2.     Representations,
Warranties and Covenants of the Company. The Company hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Placement Agent as of
the date hereof, and as of each Closing Date, as follows:

 

(a)       Subsidiaries.
All of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company (the “Subsidiaries”) are set forth in the SEC Reports.
The Company owns, directly or indirectly, all of the capital stock or other equity interests of each Subsidiary free and clear
of any liens, charges, security interests, encumbrances, rights of first refusal, preemptive rights or other restrictions (collectively,
“Liens”), and all of 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, 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 nor 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 have or reasonably be expected to result in: (i) a material adverse effect on the legality, validity
or enforceability of this Agreement or any other agreement entered into between the Company and the Investors, (ii) a material
adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and
the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to perform in any material
respect on a timely basis its obligations under this Agreement or the Subscription Agreements (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Material
Adverse Effect”) and no action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding (including, without limitation, an informal
investigation or partial proceeding, such as a deposition), whether commenced or threatened (“Proceeding”) has
been instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail such power and
authority or qualification.

 

(c)       Authorization;
Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement and the Subscription Agreements and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution
and delivery of each of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and under
the Subscription Agreements have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further action
is required by the Company, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) or the Company’s
stockholders in connection therewith other than in connection with the Required Approvals (as defined below). This Agreement has
been duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute 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 by the Company of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated pursuant
to the Subscription Agreements, the issuance and sale of the Notes and Warrants and the consummation by it of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby to which it is a party 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)

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

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 have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.

 

(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

(f)       Issuance
of the Securities; Registration. The Notes and Warrants have been duly authorized, and when issued in accordance with the terms
set forth in the Purchase Agreement, will be duly and validly issued, and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the
Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
the Notes and upon exercise of the Warrants have been duly authorized, and when issued in accordance with the terms thereof, will
be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all Liens imposed by the Company, other than restrictions
on transfer provided for in this Agreement and the Subscription Agreements. The Company has reserved from its duly authorized capital
stock a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for issuance upon conversion of the Notes and upon the exercise of the Warrants.

 

    

     

    

 

(g)       Capitalization.
The capitalization of the Company is as set forth in the SEC Reports. 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 option plans, the issuance of shares of Common Stock to employees pursuant to the Company’s employee
stock purchase plans and pursuant to the conversion and/or exercise of securities of the Company or the Subsidiaries which would
entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time any Common Stock, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, rights,
options, warrants or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles
the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock (“Common Stock Equivalents”) outstanding as of the date of the most
recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act. 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 and the transactions contemplated pursuant
to the Subscription Agreements. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip 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 the capital stock of any Subsidiary, 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 or capital stock of any Subsidiary.
The issuance and sale of the Securities will not obligate the Company or any Subsidiary to issue shares of Common Stock or other
securities to any Person (other than the Investors and the Placement Agent) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company
securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such securities. There are no outstanding securities
or instruments of the Company or any Subsidiary that contain any redemption or similar provisions, and there are no contracts,
commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to redeem a security
of the Company or such Subsidiary. The Company does not have any stock appreciation rights or “phantom stock” plans
or agreements or any similar plan or agreement. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are duly authorized.
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. No further approval or authorization of any stockholder, the
Board of Directors or others is required for the issuance and sale of the 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.

filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such extension. As of their respective dates, the SEC
Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable, and
none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with
applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time
of filing. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles
applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (“GAAP”), except as may be otherwise specified in
such financial statements or the notes thereto and except that unaudited financial statements may not contain all footnotes required
by GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as
of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited
statements, to normal, immaterial, year-end audit adjustments.

 

    

     

    

 

(i)       Material
Changes; Undisclosed Events, Liabilities or Developments. Since the date of the latest audited financial statements included

option plans. The Company does not have pending before the Commission any request for confidential treatment of information. Except
for the issuance of the Securities contemplated by the Subscription Agreements or disclosed in the SEC Reports, no event, liability,
fact, circumstance, occurrence or development has occurred or exists or is reasonably expected to occur or exist with respect to
the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, prospects, properties, operations, assets or financial condition
that would be required to be disclosed by the Company under applicable securities laws at the time this representation is made
or deemed made that has not been publicly disclosed at least 1 Trading Day prior to the date that this representation is made.

 

(j)       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,

which (i) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any of the Subscription Agreements,
or the Securities or (ii) could, if there were an unfavorable decision, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor 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 Securities Act.

 

(k)       Labor

of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement or non-competition agreement, or any
other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant in favor of any third party, 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.

bound (whether or not such default or violation has been waived), other than such matters as have been waived by PNC Bank, (ii)
is in violation of any judgment, decree or order of any court, arbitrator or governmental authority or (iii) is or has been in

Laws”); (ii) have received all permits licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws
to conduct their respective businesses; and (iii) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or

Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal,
state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports,

or modification of any Material Permit.

 

(o)       Title

no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken
reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their intellectual properties, except

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 in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged, including,
but not limited to, directors and officers insurance coverage. 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.

 

(r)       Transactions
With Affiliates and Employees. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, none of the officers or directors of the Company or

or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee, stockholder, member or partner, in each case
in excess of $120,000 other than for: (i) payment of salary or consulting fees for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for expenses

of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that are effective as of the date hereof, and any and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated
by the Commission thereunder that are effective as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date. The Company and the Subsidiaries
maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) transactions are executed
in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted
only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets

The Company and the Subsidiaries have established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and the Subsidiaries and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. The Company’s certifying officers
have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures of the Company and the Subsidiaries
as of the end of the period covered by the Company’s most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date,
the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange
Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their
evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the internal control over financial
reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) of the Company and its Subsidiaries that have materially affected, or
is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

 

(t)       Certain
Fees. Except as set forth herein, no brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by 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. 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. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable
future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements. The Common Stock is currently eligible
for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation and the Company is current
in payment of the fees to the Depository Trust Company (or such other established clearing corporation) in connection with such
electronic transfer.

 

    

     

    

 

(x)       Application
of Takeover Protections. The Company and the Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render
inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement)
or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s certificate of incorporation (or similar charter documents)
or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Investors as a result of the Investors and
the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under this Agreement and the Subscription Agreements, including
without limitation as a result of the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the Investors’ ownership of the Securities.

 

(y)       Disclosure.
Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Subscription
Agreements, the Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Investors or
their agents or counsel with any information that it believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information
which is not otherwise disclosed in the Subscription Agreements. The Company understands and confirms that the Investors will rely
on the foregoing representation in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All of the disclosure furnished by or on
behalf of the Company to the Investors regarding the Company and, its Subsidiaries, their respective businesses and the transactions
contemplated hereby, including the Disclosure Schedules to this Agreement, is true and correct and does not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The press releases disseminated by the Company during the twelve
months preceding the date of this Agreement taken as a whole do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made and when made, not misleading.

 

(z)       No
Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly
or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would
cause this offering of the Notes to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of any applicable shareholder
approval provisions of any Trading Market on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.

 

(aa)   
  Solvency. Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of each Closing Date, after
giving effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes hereunder, (i) the fair saleable value
of the Company’s assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s
existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets
do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted
including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company,
consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof, and (iii) the current cash flow of the
Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into
account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its liabilities when
such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they
mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no
knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under
the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from each Closing Date. The SEC Reports sets
forth as of the date hereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which
the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness” means
(x) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $500,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in
the ordinary course of business), (y) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of
indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet
(or the notes thereto), except guaranties by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar
transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (z) the present value of any lease payments in excess of $500,000 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.

the Offering which were not authorized for such use by the Company and which use constitutes gross negligence or willful
misconduct. The Company also agrees to reimburse each Indemnified Person for all Expenses as they are incurred in connection
with enforcing such Indemnified Person's rights under this Agreement.

 

(b)       Upon
receipt by an Indemnified Person of actual notice of an Action against such Indemnified Person with respect to which indemnity
may be sought under this Agreement, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing; provided that failure
by any Indemnified Person so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company from any liability which the Company may have
on account of this indemnity or otherwise to such Indemnified Person, except to the extent the Company shall have been prejudiced
by such failure. The Company shall, if requested by the Placement Agent, assume the defense of any such Action including the employment
of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Placement Agent, which counsel may also be counsel to the Company. Any Indemnified Person
shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company has failed promptly to assume the defense
and employ counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such Action (including any impeded parties) include such Indemnified Person
and the Company, and such Indemnified Person shall have been advised in the reasonable opinion of counsel that there is an actual
conflict of interest that prevents the counsel selected by the Company from representing both the Company (or another client of
such counsel) and any Indemnified Person; provided that the Company shall not in such event be responsible hereunder for the fees
and expenses of more than one firm of separate counsel for all Indemnified Persons in connection with any Action or related Actions,
in addition to any local counsel. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any Action effected without its written
consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). In addition, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Placement Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise
seek to terminate any pending or threatened Action in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder
(whether or not such Indemnified Person is a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes
an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person from all Liabilities arising out of such Action for which indemnification or
contribution may be sought hereunder. The indemnification required hereby shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof
during the course of the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable.

 

    

     

    

 

(c)       In
the event that the foregoing indemnity is unavailable to an Indemnified Person other than in accordance with this Agreement, the
Company shall contribute to the Liabilities and Expenses paid or payable by such Indemnified Person in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect (i) the relative benefits to the Company, on the one hand, and to the Placement Agents and any other Indemnified Person,
on the other hand, of the matters contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by the immediately preceding
clause is not permitted by applicable law, not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one
hand, and the Placement Agent and any other Indemnified Person, on the other hand, in connection with the matters as to which such
Liabilities or Expenses relate, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that in no event shall the Company
contribute less than the amount necessary to ensure that all Indemnified Persons, in the aggregate, are not liable for any Liabilities
and Expenses in excess of the amount of fees actually received by the Placement Agent pursuant to this Agreement. For purposes
of this paragraph, the relative benefits to the Company, on the one hand, and to the Placement Agent on the other hand, of the
matters contemplated by this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (a) the total value paid or contemplated
to be paid to or received or contemplated to be received by the Company in the transaction or transactions that are within the
scope of this Agreement, whether or not any such transaction is consummated, bears to (b) the fees paid to the Placement Agent
under this Agreement.

 

(d)       The
Company also agrees that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise)
to the Company for or in connection with advice or services rendered or to be rendered by any Indemnified Person pursuant to this
Agreement, the transactions contemplated thereby or any Indemnified Person's actions or inactions in connection with any such advice,
services or transactions except for Liabilities (and related Expenses) of the Company that are finally judicially determined to
have resulted solely from such Indemnified Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with any such advice,
actions, inactions or services.

 

(e)       The
reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of the Company set forth herein shall apply to any modification of this Agreement
and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any termination of, or the completion of any Indemnified Person's services
under or in connection with, this Agreement.

 

Section 8.     Representations
and Indemnities to Survive Delivery. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements
of the Company or any person controlling the Company, of its officers, and of the Placement Agent set forth in or made pursuant
to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Placement Agent,
the Company, or any of its partners, officers or directors or any controlling person, as the case may be, and will survive delivery
of and payment for the Notes sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement. A successor to the Placement Agent, or to the
Company, its directors or officers or any person controlling the Company, shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity, contribution
and reimbursement agreements contained in this Agreement.
