receipt of the Private Placement Memorandum. The consummation of the Offering is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions
to be further described in the Private Placement Memorandum, one or more of which conditions may not occur.

 

    

     

    

 

(c)       The
certificates for the Shares, Class A Warrants, Class B Warrants and Class C Warrants bearing the name of the Subscriber will be
delivered by the Company no later than ten (10) business days following the Closing Date. The Subscriber hereby authorizes and

(f)       Upon
receipt of the Subscription Funds and acceptance of this Subscription by the Company, the Company shall take up the Subscription
Funds (a “Closing” and the date of such Closing, the “Closing Date”) and issue to the Subscriber
such number of Units represented by the amount of the accepted Subscription Funds.

 

(g)      The
Subscriber acknowledges that the subscription for Units hereunder may be rejected in whole or in part by the Company in its sole

2.     Representations
and Covenants of the Subscriber. The Subscriber hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of Units involves a high degree of risk in that (i) the Company will need additional capital

(v) an investor could sustain the loss of his or her entire investment; and (vi) the Company is and will be subject to numerous

and the industries, markets and geographic regions in which the Company will compete, as well as risks associated with the Offering
contained in the Private Placement Memorandum.

 

(b)       The
Subscriber acknowledges that he or she has prior investment experience, including without limitation, investments in non-listed
and non-registered securities, or he or she has employed the services of an investment advisor, attorney and/or accountant to
read all of the documents furnished or made available by the Company to him or her and to all other prospective investors in the

speculative nature of this investment.

Subscriber understands that the Company will review this Agreement and the results from a third party verification service and

results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise), business, or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as
a whole, (ii) the transactions contemplated hereby or in any of the Offering Documents or (iii) the ability of the Company to

or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue
additional shares of Common Stock, or securities or rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock. The issuance
and sale of the Units will not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any person (other than
the Subscriber or as otherwise described in the Private Placement Memorandum) and will not result in a right of any holder of
Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under such securities. None of the outstanding

issued in violation of the preemptive rights of any security holder of the Company. Except as described in the Private Placement

statement. The Securities to be issued to each such Subscriber pursuant to this Agreement, when issued and delivered in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, will be duly and validly issued and will be fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes

by the Offering Documents and the completion by the Company of the other transactions contemplated by the Offering Documents do
not and will not, with or without the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, (i) result in any violation of any provision
of the articles of incorporation or by-laws or similar instruments of the Company; (ii) conflict with or result in a breach by
the Company of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the modification of, or result in
the creation or imposition of any lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance upon any of the properties or assets of the Company;
(iii) violate or contravene any applicable law, rule or regulation or any applicable decree, judgment or order of any court, United
States Federal or State regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company
or any of its respective properties or assets that would have a Material Adverse Effect; or (iv) have any material adverse effect
on any permit, certification, registration, approval, consent, license or franchise necessary for the Company or its Subsidiaries
to own or lease and operate any of its properties and to conduct any of its business or the ability of the Company or its Subsidiaries
to make use thereof. Except as required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)

they are made, not misleading, it being understood that for purposes of this Section 3(e), any statement contained in such information
shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Section 3(e) to the extent that a statement in any document
included in such information which was prepared and furnished to the Subscriber on a later date or filed with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on a later date modifies or replaces such statement, whether or not such
later prepared and furnished or filed statement so states.

board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or their respective businesses, properties or assets or
their officers or directors in their capacity as such, that would have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is unaware of any
facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing. There has not been, and to the knowledge of the Company,
there is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the SEC involving the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any current

Permits. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in conflict with, or in default or violation of, any of the Company
Permits, except for any such conflicts, defaults or violations which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notification with
respect to possible conflicts, defaults or violations of applicable laws, except for notices relating to possible conflicts, defaults
or violations, which conflicts, defaults or violations would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(h)       Tax
Matters. The Company has filed all federal, state and local income and franchise tax returns required to be filed and has
paid all taxes shown by such returns to be due, and no tax deficiency has been determined adversely to the Company which has had
(nor does the Company or any of its subsidiaries have any knowledge of any tax deficiency which, if determined adversely to the
Company, might have) a material adverse effect on the business, properties, operations, condition (financial or other), results
of operations or prospects of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

 

(i)        No
Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly
or indirectly made any offers or sales in any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would
require registration under the Securities Act of the issuance of the Securities to the Subscribers. The issuance of the Securities
to the Subscribers will not be integrated with any other issuance of the Company’s securities (past, current or future)
for purposes of any stockholder approval provisions applicable to the Company or its securities.

 

(j)        Form
D; Blue Sky Laws. The Company agrees to file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D. The Company
shall, on or before the Closing Date, take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary to qualify the Securities

Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess adequate rights or licenses to use all trademarks, trade
names, service marks, service mark registrations, service names, patents, patent rights, copyrights, original works, inventions,

businesses as now conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted. None of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’
Intellectual Property Rights have expired, terminated or been abandoned, or are expected to expire, terminate or be abandoned,
within two (2) years from the date of this Agreement. The Company has no knowledge of any infringement by the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries of Intellectual Property Rights of others. There is no claim, action or proceeding being made or brought, or
to the knowledge of the Company, being threatened, against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries regarding their Intellectual
Property Rights. The Company is not aware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing infringements
or claims, actions or proceedings. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect
the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their Intellectual Property Rights, except where failure to take such measures
would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Company Status. The Company is not, and has never been, an issuer identified
in, or subject to, Rule 144(i) promulgated under the Securities Act (or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”).

 

4.     Indemnification.

 

(a)       In
consideration of each Subscriber’s execution and delivery of the Offering Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder
and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Offering Documents, the Company shall defend, protect,
indemnify and hold harmless each Subscriber and each holder of any Securities and all of their stockholders, partners, members,
officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives
(including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively,
the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties,
fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to
the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the
“Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a)
any fraud or misrepresentation made by the Company in any of the Offering Documents or (b) any cause of action, suit, proceeding
or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party or which otherwise involves such Indemnitee that arises out
of or results from any fraud or misrepresentation made by the Company in any of the Offering Documents. To the extent that the
foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the
payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

 

(b)       Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnitee under this Section 4 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental
action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against
the Company under this Section 4, deliver to the Company a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the Company shall have
the right to participate in, and, to the extent the Company so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel
mutually satisfactory to the Company and the Indemnitee; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to retain
its own counsel with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the Company if: (i) the Company has agreed in writing
to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the Company shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Indemnified Liability
and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee in any such Indemnified Liability; or (iii) the named parties
to any such Indemnified Liability (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnitee and the Company, and such Indemnitee
shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnitee
and the Company (in which case, if such Indemnitee notifies the Company in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at
the expense of the Company, then the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be
at the expense of the Company), provided further, that in the case of clause (iii) above the Company shall not be responsible
for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one (1) separate legal counsel for such Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall reasonably
cooperate with the Company in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Indemnified Liability by the Company
and shall furnish to the Company all information reasonably available to the Indemnitee which relates to such action or Indemnified
Liability. The Company shall keep the Indemnitee reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement
negotiations with respect thereto. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected
without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the Company shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its
consent. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter
into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or
plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such Indemnified Liability or litigation, and such
settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnitee. Following indemnification as provided for
hereunder, the Company shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations
relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the Company within a
reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the Company of any liability to the Indemnitee under
this Section 4, except to the extent that the Company is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

 

    	 	9	 

     

    

 

(c)       The
indemnification required by this Section 4 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation
or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Liabilities are incurred.

 

(d)       The
indemnity agreement contained herein shall be in addition to (A) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnitee against
the Company or others, and (B) any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to the law.

 

5.     Transfer
Restrictions; Legends.

 

(a)       Restrictions.
Each Subscriber understands that:

 

(i)      The
sale or resale of all or any portion of the Securities has not been and is not being registered under the Securities Act or any
applicable state securities laws, and all or any portion of the Securities may not be transferred unless:

 

(A)       the
Securities are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act;

 

(B)       the
Subscriber shall have delivered to the Company, at the cost of the Company, a customary opinion of counsel that shall be in form,
substance and scope reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold
or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration;

 

(C)       the
Securities are sold or transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Subscriber who agrees to sell
or otherwise transfer the Securities only in accordance with this Section 5(a) and who is an “accredited investor”,
as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, as amended, under the Securities Act;

 

(D)       the
Securities are sold pursuant to Rule 144; or

 

(E)       the
Securities are sold pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act (or a successor rule);

 

and,
in each case, the Subscriber shall have delivered to the Company, at the cost of the Company, a customary opinion of counsel,
in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained herein
to the contrary, the Securities may be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement.

 

    	 	10	 

     

    

 

(b)       Each
certificate representing (i) the Shares and (ii) any other securities issued in respect of the Shares, the Class A Warrants, Class
B Warrants and Class C Warrants upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar event,
shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of Section 5(c) below) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially
in the following form (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws):

 

THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR UNLESS THE COMPANY
RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO IT STATING THAT SUCH SALE OR TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM
THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT. 

 

So
long as the foregoing legend may remain on any Securities, the Subscriber consents to the Company making a notation on its records
and giving instructions to any transfer agent with respect to such certificates in order to implement the restrictions on transfer
established in this Section 5.

 

(c)       Certificates
evidencing Securities shall not be required to contain the legend set forth in Section 5(b) above or any other legend (i) while
a registration statement covering the resale of such Securities is effective under the 1933 Act, (ii) following any sale of such
Securities pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferor is not an affiliate of the Company), (iii) if such Securities are eligible
to be sold, assigned or transferred under Rule 144 (provided that a Subscriber provides the Company with reasonable assurances
that such Securities are eligible for sale, assignment or transfer under Rule 144 which shall not include an opinion of counsel),
(iv) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer (other than under Rule 144), provided that such Subscriber provides
the Company with an opinion of counsel to such Subscriber, at the cost of the Company and in a generally acceptable form, to the
effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities may be made without registration under the applicable requirements
of the Securities Act or (v) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including, without
limitation, controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the SEC). If a legend is not required pursuant to
the foregoing, the Company shall no later than five (5) Business Days following the delivery by a Subscriber to the Company or
the transfer agent (with notice to the Company) of a legended certificate representing such Securities (endorsed or with stock
powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer, if applicable),
together with any other deliveries from such Subscriber as may be required above in this Section 5(c), as directed by such Subscriber,
either: (A) provided that the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program,
credit the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which such Subscriber shall be entitled to such Subscriber’s or
its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system or (B) if the Company’s
transfer agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight
courier) to such Subscriber, a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends, registered
in the name of such Subscriber or its designee.

shall be deemed to constitute the Subscribers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or
create a presumption that the Subscribers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any other transaction document,
each Subscriber shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the

proceeding for such purpose. Each Subscriber has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby and acknowledge and understand that Sichenzia Ross Ference Kesner LLP has served as counsel to the Company
only.

SECTION 2.Satisfaction of Section 5.21(a) and (b) of the Agreement.  The Administrator hereby acknowledges and agrees that, upon the effectiveness of this Amendment in accordance with its terms, the conditions set forth in Section 5.21(a) and (b) of the Agreement shall have been satisfied.

2

3

(h)The definition of “Minimum Cash Liquidity Event” set forth in Exhibit I to the Agreement is amended by replacing the phrase “Adjusted Cash Liquidity” where it appears therein with the phrase “Cash Liquidity” therefor.
