at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of
a duly executed facsimile copy or PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed
hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”). Within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading
Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined in Section 2(d)(i) herein) following the date of exercise as aforesaid,
the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer

Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1)
Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that,

of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).

 

c)                 
Cashless Exercise. If at the time of exercise hereof there is no effective registration statement registering, or
the prospectus contained therein is not available for the issuance of the Warrant Shares to the Holder, then this Warrant may also
be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled
to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

 

(A) =
as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice
of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed
and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as
defined in Rule 600(b)(68) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option
of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (z)
the Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. as of the time of the Holder’s
execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours”
on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular
trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of
Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant
to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;

 

(B) = the
Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

 

(X) =
the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant
if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

 

    	 	3	 

     

    

 

If
Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9)
of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised.  The
Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).

 

“Bid
Price” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common
Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the bid price of the Common Stock for the time in question (or the nearest
preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on
a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b)  if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading
Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as
applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock
are then reported on The Pink Open Market (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices),
the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a
share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Purchasers of a majority in interest
of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the
Company.

 

“VWAP”
means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed
or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding
date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading
Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b)  if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market,
the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable,
(c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then
reported on The Pink Open Market (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most
recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of
Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Purchasers of a majority in interest of the
Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

 

Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant
to this Section 2(c).

 

d)                 
Mechanics of Exercise.

 

    	 	4	 

     

    

 

i.           
Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted
by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with
The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is
then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant
Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, and otherwise
by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee,
for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder
in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earliest of (i) two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the
Notice of Exercise, (ii) one (1) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company and (iii) the number
of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date,
the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for
all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised,
irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in
the case of a cashless exercise) is received within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days
comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. If the Company fails for any reason to
deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall
pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise
(based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20
per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant
Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a
transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein,
 “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on
the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice
of Exercise.

 

ii.           
Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at
the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver
to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant,
which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

 

    	 	5	 

     

    

 

iii.           
Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares
pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

 

iv.           
Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights
available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance
with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after
such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage
firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which
the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to
the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for
the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the
Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order
giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the
Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed
rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied
with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase
price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price
giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be
required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder
in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s
right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific
performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon
exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

v.           
No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon
the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such
exercise, 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 Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

    	 	6	 

     

    

 

vi.           
Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue
or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses
shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may
be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other
than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto
duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it
for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any
Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar
functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

 

vii.           
Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely
exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

e)                 
Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall
not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving
effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s
Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons,
 “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined
below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and
its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable
upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates
or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the
Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous
to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties.  Except
as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance
with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder
that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act
and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation
contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities
owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall
be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination
of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution
Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and
the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to
any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent
periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or
(C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. 
Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder
the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall
be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder
or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.
The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be [9.99/4.99%] of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding
immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon
notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately
after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions
of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the
61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented
in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof)
which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or
supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall
apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

Section 3.Certain
Adjustments.

 

a)                 
Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend
or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities
payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company
upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines
(including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by
reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price
shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares,
if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted
such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a)
shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend
or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

b)                 
[Reserved]

 

c)                 
Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company
grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata
to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be
entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have
acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without
regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before
the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the
date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase
Rights (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase
Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate
in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right
to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its
right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

d)                 
Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make
any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way
of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property
or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction)
(a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall
be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder
had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations
on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record
is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock
are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, to the extent that the
Holder's right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation,
then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any
shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance
for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation).

 

    	 	8	 

     

    

 

e)                 
Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant 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
(and all of its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole), 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, merger 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 exercise of this Warrant,
the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately
prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section
2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), 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 for which this Warrant
is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise
of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise 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 Exercise 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 exercise of this Warrant 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 Warrant and the
other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) 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 Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced
by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for 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 exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such
Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise 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 Warrant 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
Warrant 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 Warrant
and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. For
the avoidance of doubt, if, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, a Fundamental Transaction occurs, pursuant to the terms
of this Section 3(e), the Holder shall not be entitled to receive more than one of (i) the consideration receivable as a result
of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately
prior to such Fundamental Transaction or (ii) the assumption by the Successor Entity of all of the obligations of the Company under
this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents and the option to receive a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written
instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant.

 

f)                  
Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a
share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding
as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

g)                 
Notice to Holder.

 

i.           
Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3,
the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment
and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

ii.           
Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever
form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common
Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase
any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required
in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company (and all of its Subsidiaries,
taken as a whole) is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory
share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize
the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company
shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email to the Holder at its last facsimile number or email address as it shall appear
upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter
specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption,
rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled
to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is
expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities,
cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided
that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate
action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains,
material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice
with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during
the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise
be expressly set forth herein.

Section 4.Transfer
of Warrant.

 

a)                 
Transferability. This Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are
transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent,
together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its
agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender
and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or
assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue
to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not
be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case,
the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an
assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith,
may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

 

b)                 
New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid
office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued,
signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved
in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or
Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated
the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable
pursuant thereto.

 

c)                 
Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that
purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may
deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any
distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

 

Section 5.Miscellaneous.

 

a)                 
No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting
rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i),
except as expressly set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless
exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c) or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) and Section 2(d)(iv) herein, in
no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.

 

    	 	11	 

     

    

 

b)                 
Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to
the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in
the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock
certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such
cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

 

c)                 
Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of
any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised
on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

d)                 
Authorized Shares.

 

The Company covenants
that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient
number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant.
The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged
with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company
will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without
violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be
listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented
by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance
herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by
the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such
issue).

 

Except and
to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending
its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or
sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this
Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions
as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable
therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate
in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant
and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory
body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

 

    	 	12	 

     

    

 

Before taking
any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the
Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary
from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

 

e)                 
Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant
shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

 

f)                  
Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not
registered, and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal
securities laws.

 

g)                 
Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part
of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without
limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply
with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such
amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees,
including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise
enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

 

h)                 
Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the
Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

 

i)                  
Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise
this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to
any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability
is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

    	 	13	 

     

    

 

j)                 Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of
damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would
not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees
to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

k)                Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced
hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors
and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time
of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

 

l)                 Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the
Company and the Holder.

 

m)              
Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective
and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such
provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions
or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

 

n)                Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose,
be deemed a part of this Warrant.

PLACEMENT AGENCY AGREEMENT

 

February 25, 2020

 

Roth Capital Partners, LLC

888 San Clemente Drive, Suite 400

Newport Beach, CA 92660

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Introduction.
Subject to the terms and conditions herein (this “Agreement”), Lipocine Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
hereby agrees to sell up to an aggregate of $6 million of registered securities of the Company, including, but not limited to,
shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the "Common
Stock”), pre-funded Common Stock purchase warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”),
and common stock purchase warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants” and the shares of Common
Stock underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Warrants, the “Warrant Shares” and, the Shares, the Pre-Funded
Warrants, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares, the “Securities”), directly to various investors (each, an “Investor”
and, collectively, the “Investors”) through Roth Capital Partners, LLC (the “Placement Agent”)
as placement agent. The documents executed and delivered by the Company and the Investors in connection with the Offering (as defined
below), including, without limitation, a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), shall be
collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents.” The purchase price to the Investors for each
Share is $0.595, the purchase price for each Pre-Funded Warrant is $0.5949 and the exercise price to the Investors for each share
of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is $0.53. The Placement Agent may retain other brokers or dealers to act
as sub-agents or selected-dealers on its behalf in connection with the Offering.

 

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 Securities pursuant to the Company's registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-220942) (the “Registration
Statement”), with the terms of such offering (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 Securities,
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 Shares 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 Shares and the Company shall have the sole right to accept
offers to purchase Shares 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 Securities shall be made at one or more closings (each a “Closing”
and the date on which each Closing occurs, a “Closing Date”). As compensation for services rendered, on each
Closing Date, the Company shall pay to the Placement Agent a cash fee equal to 5.5% of the gross proceeds received by the Company
from the sale of the Securities at the closing of the Offering (the “Closing”).

 

     

    

    

 

(b)               
The term of the Placement Agent's exclusive engagement will be until the completion of the Offering (the “Exclusive
Term”); provided, however, that a party hereto 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
and which are permitted to be reimbursed under FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(D)(i), 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)               
Securities Law Filings. The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
the Registration Statement under the Securities Act, which was declared effective on November 21, 2017 for the registration of
the Securities under the Securities Act. Following the determination of pricing among the Company and the prospective Investors
introduced to the Company by Placement Agent, the Company will file with the Commission pursuant to Rules 430B and 424(b) under
the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations (the “Rules and Regulations”) of the Commission promulgated
thereunder, a final prospectus supplement relating to the placement of the Securities, their respective pricings and the plan of
distribution thereof and will advise the Placement Agent of all further information (financial and other) with respect to the Company
required to be set forth therein. Such registration statement, at any given time, including the exhibits thereto filed at such
time, as amended at such time, is hereinafter called the “Registration Statement”; such prospectus in the form
in which it appears in the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness, together with any preliminary prospectus supplement
relating to the Offering, is hereinafter called the “Base Prospectus”; the preliminary prospectus supplement
in the form in which it was filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) is hereinafter called the “Preliminary Prospectus
Supplement”; and the final prospectus supplement, in the form in which it will be filed with the Commission pursuant
to Rule 424(b) (including the Base Prospectus as it may be amended or supplemented) is hereinafter called the “Final Prospectus.”
The Registration Statement at the time it originally became effective is hereinafter called the “Original Registration
Statement.” Any reference in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, the Original Registration Statement, the Base
Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement or the Final Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents
incorporated by reference therein (the “Incorporated Documents”), if any, which were or are filed under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), at any given time, as the case may be; and
any reference in this Agreement to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect
to the Registration Statement, the Original Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement
or the Final Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act after the date
of this Agreement, or the issue date of the Base Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement or the Final Prospectus, as
the case may be, deemed to be incorporated therein by reference. All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules
and other information which is “contained,” “included,” “described,” “referenced,”
 “set forth” or “stated” in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus
Supplement or the Final Prospectus (and all other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial
statements and schedules and other information which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement,
the Base Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement or the Final Prospectus, as the case may be. As used in this paragraph
and elsewhere in this Agreement, “Time of Sale Disclosure Package” means the Base Prospectus, any preliminary
prospectus supplement, any subscription agreement between the Company and the Investors, and any issuer free writing prospectus
as defined in Rule 433 of the Act (each, an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”), if any, that the parties hereto
shall hereafter expressly agree in writing to treat as part of the Time of Sale Disclosure Package. The term “any Prospectus”
shall mean, as the context requires, the Base Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, and any supplement to either thereof. The Company
has not received any notice that the Commission has issued or intends to issue a stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement or the use of the Base Prospectus or any prospectus supplement or intends to commence a proceeding for any
such purpose.

 

    	 	2	 

    

    

 

(b)               
Assurances. The Original Registration Statement, as amended, (and any further documents to be filed with the Commission)
contains all exhibits and schedules as required by the Securities Act. Each of the Registration Statement and any post-effective
amendment thereto, at the time it became effective, complied in all material respects with the Securities Act and the applicable
Rules and Regulations and did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The Base Prospectus, and the Final Prospectus, each
as of its respective date, comply or will comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and the applicable Rules and
Regulations. Each of the Base Prospectus and the Final Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, did not and will not contain as
of the date thereof any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Incorporated Documents, when they were filed
with the Commission, conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations
promulgated thereunder, and none of such documents, when they were filed with the Commission, contained any untrue statement of
a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (with respect to Incorporated Documents
incorporated by reference in the Base Prospectus or Final Prospectus), in light of the circumstances under which they were made
not misleading. No post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement reflecting any facts or events arising after the date
thereof which represent, individually or in the aggregate, a fundamental change in the information set forth therein is required
to be filed with the Commission. Except for this Agreement, there are no documents required to be filed with the Commission in
connection with the transaction contemplated hereby that (x) have not been filed as required pursuant to the Securities Act or
(y) will not be filed within the requisite time period. Except for this Agreement, there are no contracts or other documents required
to be described in the Base Prospectus or Final Prospectus, or to be filed as exhibits or schedules to the Registration Statement,
which have not been described or filed as required.

 

    	 	3	 

    

    

 

(c)               
Offering Materials. Neither the Company nor any of its directors and officers has distributed and none of them will
distribute, prior to each Closing Date, any offering material in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities other
than the Time of Sale Disclosure Package.

 

(d)               
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 Time of Sale Disclosure Package 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 thereby and under the Base Prospectus 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.

 

(e)               
No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
pursuant to the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the issuance and sale of the Securities 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)
conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, result
in the creation of any Lien (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary,
or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or
both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company or Subsidiary debt or otherwise) or other

(k)               
Representations and Warranties Incorporated by Reference. Each of the representations and warranties (together with

upon by the Placement Agent and the Company). Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at each Closing payment of the purchase
price for the Securities sold on such Closing Date shall be made by Federal Funds wire transfer, against delivery of such Securities,
and such Securities shall be registered in such name or names and shall be in such denominations, as the Placement Agent may request
at least one business day before the time of purchase (as defined below).

 

Deliveries of the documents

Section 4.                 
Covenants and Agreements of the Company. The Company further covenants and agrees with the Placement Agent as follows:

 

(a)               
Registration Statement Matters. The Company will advise the Placement Agent promptly after it receives notice thereof
of the time when any amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed or becomes effective or any supplement to the Base
Prospectus or the Final Prospectus has been filed and will furnish the Placement Agent with copies thereof. The Company will file
promptly all reports and any definitive proxy or information statements required to be filed by the Company with the Commission
pursuant to Section 13(a), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the date of any Prospectus and for so long as the delivery
of a prospectus is required in connection with the Offering. During the Prospectus Delivery Period (as defined below), the Company
will advise the Placement Agent, promptly after it receives notice thereof (i) of any request by the Commission to amend the Registration
Statement or to amend or supplement any Prospectus or for additional information, and (ii) of the issuance by the Commission of
any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or any order
directed at any Incorporated Document, if any, or any amendment or supplement thereto or any order preventing or suspending the
use of the Base Prospectus or the Final Prospectus or any prospectus supplement or any amendment or supplement thereto or any post-effective
amendment to the Registration Statement, of the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction,
of the institution or threatened institution of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request by the Commission for the
amending or supplementing of the Registration Statement or a Prospectus or for additional information. The Company shall use its
best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or prevention or suspension of such use.  If the Commission shall
enter any such stop order or order or notice of prevention or suspension at any time, the Company will use its best efforts to
obtain the lifting of such order at the earliest possible moment, or will file a new registration statement and use its best efforts
to have such new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable.  Additionally, the Company agrees that
it shall comply with the provisions of Rules 424(b), 430A, 430B and 430C, as applicable, under the Securities Act, including
with respect to the timely filing of documents thereunder, and will use its reasonable efforts to confirm that any filings made
by the Company under such Rule 424(b) are received in a timely manner by the Commission.

 

    	 	5	 

    

    

 

(b)               
Blue Sky Compliance. The Company will cooperate with the Placement Agent and the Investors in endeavoring to qualify
the Securities for sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions (United States and foreign) as the Placement Agent and
the Investors may reasonably request and will make such applications, file such documents, and furnish such information as may
be reasonably required for that purpose, provided the Company shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to file
a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or required to file such a consent,
and provided further that the Company shall not be required to produce any new disclosure document. The Company will, from time
to time, prepare and file such statements, reports and other documents as are or may be required to continue such qualifications
in effect for so long a period as the Placement Agent may reasonably request for distribution of the Securities. The Company will
advise the Placement Agent promptly of the suspension of the qualification or registration of (or any such exemption relating to)
the Securities for offering, sale or trading in any jurisdiction or any initiation or threat of any proceeding for any such purpose,
and in the event of the issuance of any order suspending such qualification, registration or exemption, the Company shall use its
commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal thereof at the earliest possible moment.

 

(c)               
Amendments and Supplements to a Prospectus and Other Matters. The Company will comply with the Securities Act and
the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, so as to permit the completion of the distribution
of the Securities as contemplated in this Agreement, the Incorporated Documents and any Prospectus. If during the period in which
a prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with the distribution of Securities contemplated by the Incorporated
Documents or any Prospectus (the “Prospectus Delivery Period”), any event shall occur as a result of which,
in the judgment of the Company or in the opinion of the Placement Agent or counsel for the Placement Agent, it becomes necessary
to amend or supplement the Incorporated Documents or any Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, as the case may be, not misleading, or if it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement
the Incorporated Documents or any Prospectus or to file under the Exchange Act any Incorporated Document to comply with any law,
the Company will promptly prepare and file with the Commission, and furnish at its own expense to the Placement Agent and to dealers,
an appropriate amendment to the Registration Statement or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Incorporated Documents
or any Prospectus that is necessary in order to make the statements in the Incorporated Documents and any Prospectus as so amended
or supplemented, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, as the case may be, not misleading, or so that the
Registration Statement, the Incorporated Documents or any Prospectus, as so amended or supplemented, will comply with law. Before
amending the Registration Statement in connection with the Offering or supplementing the Incorporated Documents or any Prospectus
in connection with the Offering, the Company will furnish the Placement Agent with a copy of such proposed amendment or supplement
and will not file any such amendment or supplement to which the Placement Agent reasonably objects.

 

    	 	6	 

    

    

 

(d)               
Copies of any Amendments and Supplements to a Prospectus. The Company will furnish the Placement Agent, without charge,
during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the later of the last Closing Date of the Offering, as many copies
of any Prospectus or prospectus supplement and any amendments and supplements thereto, as the Placement Agent may reasonably request.

 

(e)               
Free Writing Prospectus. The Company covenants that it will not, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the
Placement Agent, make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an issuer free writing prospectus (as defined
in Rule 433 of the Securities Act) (“Company Free Writing Prospectus”) or that would otherwise constitute a “free
writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act) required to be filed by the Company with the Commission
or retained by the Company under Rule 433 of the Securities Act. In the event that the Placement Agent expressly consents in writing
to any such free writing prospectus (a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus”), the Company covenants that it shall
(i) treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Company Free Writing Prospectus, and (ii) comply with the requirements of
Rule 164 and 433 of the Securities Act applicable to such Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing
with the Commission, legending and record keeping.

 

(f)                
Transfer Agent. The Company will maintain, at its expense, a registrar and transfer agent for the Common Stock.

 

(g)               
Earnings Statement. As soon as practicable and in accordance with applicable requirements under the Securities Act,
but in any event not later than 18 months after the last Closing Date, the Company will make generally available to its security
holders and to the Placement Agent an earnings statement, covering a period of at least 12 consecutive months beginning after the
last Closing Date, that satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) and Rule 158 under the Securities Act.

 

(h)               
Periodic Reporting Obligations. During the Prospectus Delivery Period, the Company will duly file, on a timely basis,
with the Commission and the Trading Market (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) all reports and documents required to be filed
under the Exchange Act within the time periods and in the manner required by the Exchange Act.

 

(i)                
Additional Documents. The Company will enter into any subscription, purchase or other customary agreements
as the Placement Agent or the Investors deem necessary or appropriate to consummate the Offering, all of which will be in form
and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, the Placement Agent and the Investors. The Company agrees that the Placement
Agent may rely upon, and each is a third party beneficiary of, the representations and warranties, and applicable covenants, set
forth in any such purchase, subscription or other agreement with Investors in the Offering.

 

(j)                
No Manipulation of Price.  The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to
cause or result in, or that has constituted or might reasonably be expected to constitute, the stabilization or manipulation of
the price of any securities of the Company.

 

    	 	7	 

    

    

 

(k)               
Acknowledgment. The Company acknowledges that any advice given by the Placement Agent to the Company is solely for
the benefit and use of the Board of Directors of the Company and may not be used, reproduced, disseminated, quoted or referred
to, without the Placement Agent's prior written consent.

 

(l)                
Announcement of Offering. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agent may, subsequent to the Closing,
make public its involvement with the Offering.

 

(m)             
Reliance on Others. The Company confirms that it will rely on its own counsel and accountants for legal and accounting
advice.

 

Section 5.                 
Conditions of the Obligations of the Placement Agent. The obligations of the Placement Agent hereunder shall be subject
to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company set forth in Section 2 hereof, in each case as
of the date hereof and as of each Closing Date as though then made, to the timely performance by each of the Company of its covenants
and other obligations hereunder on and as of such dates, and to each of the following additional conditions:

 

(a)               
Accountants’ Comfort Letter. On the date hereof, the Placement Agent shall have received, and the Company shall
have caused to be delivered to the Placement Agent, a letter from Tanner LLC (the independent registered public accounting firm
of the Company), addressed to the Placement Agent, dated as of the date hereof, in form and substance satisfactory to the Placement
Agent. The letter shall not disclose any change in the condition (financial or other), earnings, operations, business or prospects
of the Company from that set forth in the Incorporated Documents or the applicable Prospectus or prospectus supplement, which,
in the Placement Agent's sole judgment, is material and adverse and that makes it, in the Placement Agent's sole judgment, impracticable
or inadvisable to proceed with the Offering of the Securities as contemplated by such Prospectus.

 

(b)               
Compliance with Registration Requirements; No Stop Order; No Objection from the FINRA. Each Prospectus (in accordance
with Rule 424(b)) and “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act), if any, shall
have been duly filed with the Commission, as appropriate; no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
or any part thereof shall have been issued and no proceeding for that purpose shall have been initiated or threatened by the Commission;
no order preventing or suspending the use of any Prospectus shall have been issued and no proceeding for that purpose shall have
been initiated or threatened by the Commission; no order having the effect of ceasing or suspending the distribution of the Securities
or any other securities of the Company shall have been issued by any securities commission, securities regulatory authority or
stock exchange and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been instituted or shall be pending or, to the knowledge of the Company,
contemplated by any securities commission, securities regulatory authority or stock exchange; all requests for additional information
on the part of the Commission shall have been complied with; and the FINRA shall have raised no objection to the fairness and reasonableness
of the placement terms and arrangements.

 

(c)               
Corporate Proceedings. All corporate proceedings and other legal matters in connection with this Agreement, the Registration
Statement and each Prospectus, and the registration, sale and delivery of the Securities, shall have been completed or resolved
in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Placement Agent's counsel, and such counsel shall have been furnished with such papers
and information as it may reasonably have requested to enable such counsel to pass upon the matters referred to in this Section 5.

 

    	 	8	 

    

    

 

(d)               
No Material Adverse Change. Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to each Closing
Date, in the Placement Agent's sole judgment after consultation with the Company, there shall not have occurred any Material Adverse
Effect or any material adverse change or development involving a prospective material adverse change in the condition or the business
activities, financial or otherwise, of the Company from the latest dates as of which such condition is set forth in the Registration
Statement and Prospectus (“Material Adverse Change”).

 

(e)               
Opinion of Counsel for the Company. The Placement Agent shall have received on each Closing Date the favorable opinion
of US legal counsel to the Company, dated as of such Closing Date, including, without limitation, a negative assurance letter addressed
to the Placement Agent and in form and substance satisfactory to the Placement Agent and the favorable opinion of intellectual
property legal counsel to the Company, including, without limitation, a negative assurance letter, addressed to the Placement Agent
and in form and substance satisfactory to the Placement Agent.

 

(f)                
Officers’ Certificate. The Placement Agent shall have received on each Closing Date a certificate of the Company,
dated as of such Closing Date, signed by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, to the effect
that, and the Placement Agent shall be satisfied that, the signers of such certificate have reviewed the Registration Statement,
the Incorporated Documents, any Prospectus Supplement, and this Agreement and to the further effect that:

 

(i)                
The representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement are true and correct, as if made on and as of such Closing
Date, and the Company has complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied
at or prior to such Closing Date;

 

(ii)              
No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the use of any Prospectus has been issued and
no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened under the
Securities Act; no order having the effect of ceasing or suspending the distribution of the Securities or any other securities
of the Company has been issued by any securities commission, securities regulatory authority or stock exchange in the United States
and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, contemplated by any
securities commission, securities regulatory authority or stock exchange in the United States;

 

(iii)            
When the Registration Statement became effective, at the time of sale, and at all times subsequent thereto up to the delivery
of such certificate, the Registration Statement and the Incorporated Documents, if any, when such documents became effective or
were filed with the Commission, and any Prospectus, contained all material information required to be included therein by the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, as the case may be, and in all
material respects conformed to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations
of the Commission thereunder, as the case may be, and the Registration Statement and the Incorporated Documents, if any, and any
Prospectus, did not and do not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading
(provided, however, that the preceding representations and warranties contained in this paragraph (iii) shall not apply to any
statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by the Placement
Agent expressly for use therein) and, since the effective date of the Registration Statement, there has occurred no event required
by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder to be set forth in the Incorporated Documents
which has not been so set forth; and

 

    	 	9	 

    

    

 

(iv)             
Subsequent to the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the Incorporated Documents
and any Prospectus, there has not been: (a) any Material Adverse Change; (b) any transaction that is material to the Company and
the Subsidiaries taken as a whole, except transactions entered into in the ordinary course of business; (c) any obligation, direct
or contingent, that is material to the Company and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole, incurred by the Company or any Subsidiary,
except obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business; (d) any material change in the capital stock (except changes thereto
resulting from the exercise of outstanding stock options or warrants) or outstanding indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary;
(e) any dividend or distribution of any kind declared, paid or made on the capital stock of the Company; or (f) any loss or damage
(whether or not insured) to the property of the Company or any Subsidiary which has been sustained or will have been sustained
which has a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(g)               
Bring-down Comfort Letter.  On each Closing Date, the Placement Agent shall have received from Tanner
LLC, or such other independent registered public accounting firm of the Company, a letter dated as of such Closing Date, in
form and substance satisfactory to the Placement Agent, to the effect that they reaffirm the statements made in the letter
furnished pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 5, except that the specified date referred to therein for the
carrying out of procedures shall be no more than three business days prior to such Closing Date.

 

(h)               
Lock-Up Agreements. On the date hereof, the Placement Agent shall have received the executed lock-up agreement, in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, from each of the directors and officers of the Company.

 

(i)                
Stock Exchange Listing. The Common Stock shall be registered under the Exchange Act and shall be listed on the Trading
Market, and the Company shall not have taken any action designed to terminate, or likely to have the effect of terminating, the
registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act or delisting or suspending from trading the Common Stock from the Trading
Market, nor shall the Company have received any information suggesting that the Commission or the Trading Market is contemplating
terminating such registration or listing.

 

(j)                
Additional Documents. On or before each Closing Date, the Placement Agent and counsel for the Placement Agent shall
have received such information and documents as they may reasonably require for the purposes of enabling them to pass upon the
issuance and sale of the Securities as contemplated herein, or in order to evidence the accuracy of any of the representations
and warranties, or the satisfaction of any of the conditions or agreements, herein contained.

 

If any condition specified
in this Section 5 is not satisfied when and as required to be satisfied, this Agreement may be terminated by the Placement Agent
by notice to the Company at any time on or prior to a Closing Date, which termination shall be without liability on the part of
any party to any other party, except that Section 6 (Payment of Expenses), Section 7 (Indemnification and Contribution) and Section
8 (Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery) shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination.

 

    	 	10

Payment of Expenses. The Company agrees to pay all costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with

with the preparation, printing, filing, shipping and distribution of the Registration Statement (including financial statements,
exhibits, schedules, consents and certificates of experts), the Base Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and each Prospectus Supplement,
and all amendments and supplements thereto, and this Agreement; (vi) all filing fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses
incurred by the Company or the Placement Agent in connection with qualifying or registering (or obtaining exemptions from the qualification
or registration of) all or any part of the Securities for offer and sale under the state securities or blue sky laws or the securities
laws of any other country, and, if requested by the Placement Agent, preparing and printing a “Blue Sky Survey,”
an “International Blue Sky Survey” or other memorandum, and any supplements thereto, advising the Placement
Agent of such qualifications, registrations and exemptions; (vii) if applicable, the filing fees incident to the review and approval
by the FINRA of the Placement Agent's participation in the offering and distribution of the Securities; (viii) the fees and expenses
associated with including the Shares on the Trading Market; (ix) all costs and expenses incident to the travel and accommodation
of the Company’s and the Placement Agent's employees on the “roadshow,” if any; and (x) all other fees,
costs and expenses referred to in Part II of the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Placement
Agent will pay all of its fees and expenses and the fees and expenses of its counsel and other advisors.

 

Section 7.                 
Indemnification and Contribution.

 

(a) The Company
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Placement Agent, its affiliates and each person controlling the Placement Agent (within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act), and the directors, officers, agents and employees of the Placement Agent, its
affiliates and each such controlling person (the Placement Agent, and each such entity or person. an “Indemnified Person”)
from and against any losses, claims, damages, judgments, assessments, costs and other liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”),
and shall reimburse each Indemnified Person for all fees and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel
for all Indemnified Persons, except as otherwise expressly provided herein) (collectively, the “Expenses”) as
they are incurred by an Indemnified Person in investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending any Actions, whether or not any Indemnified
Person is a party thereto, (i) caused by, or arising out of or in connection with, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Incorporated Document, or any Prospectus or by any omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading (other than untrue statements or alleged untrue statements in, or omissions or alleged omissions
from, information relating to an Indemnified Person furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person expressly for
use in the Incorporated Documents) or (ii) otherwise arising out of 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; provided, however, that, in the case
of clause (ii) only, the Company shall not be responsible for any Liabilities or Expenses of any Indemnified Person that are finally
judicially determined to have resulted solely from such Indemnified Person's (x) gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection
with any of the advice, actions, inactions or services referred to above or (y) use of any offering materials or information concerning
the Company in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities in 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.

 

    	 	11	 

    

    

 

(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 the 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 Agent 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. Notwithstanding the above, no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act, as amended, shall be entitled to contribution from a party who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

    	 	12	 

    

    

 

(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
