and authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted. Neither the Company

bylaws or other organizational or charter documents. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business
and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted
or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as
the case may be, could not have or reasonably be expected to result in: (i) a material adverse effect on the legality, validity

or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) a material adverse effect

revoking, limiting or curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority or qualification.

 

(c)       Authorization;

or therewith other than in connection with the Required Approvals. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which
it is a party has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the

(with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company

Stock or Common Stock Equivalents. The issuance and sale of the Securities will not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common
Stock or other securities to any Person (other than the Purchasers) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities
to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such securities. All of the outstanding shares of capital
stock of the Company are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in compliance with all

the Securities contemplated by this Agreement or as set forth on the Disclosure Schedule, no event, liability, fact, circumstance,
occurrence or development has occurred or exists or is reasonably expected to occur or exist with respect to the Company or its
Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, properties, operations, assets or financial condition, that would be required to

local or foreign) (collectively, an “Action”) which (i) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity
or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents or the Securities or (ii) could, if there were an unfavorable decision, have
or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor any director or officer
thereof, is or has been the subject of any Action involving a claim of violation of or liability under federal or state securities
laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty. There has not been, and to the knowledge of the Company, there is not pending or contemplated,
any investigation by the Commission involving the Company or any current or former director or officer of the Company. The Commission

in favor of any third party, and the continued employment of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance
with all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to employment and employment practices, terms and
conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where the failure to be in compliance could not, individually or in the aggregate,

bound (whether or not such default or violation has been waived), (ii) is in violation of

(m)       Regulatory
Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal,

None of, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a notice (written or otherwise) that any of, the Intellectual
Property Rights has expired, terminated or been abandoned, or is expected to expire or terminate or be abandoned, within two (2)
years from the date of this Agreement. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received, since the date of the latest audited
financial statements included within the SEC Reports, a written notice of a claim or otherwise has any knowledge that the Intellectual
Property Rights violate or infringe upon the rights of any Person, except as could not have or reasonably be expected to not have
a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is
no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken
reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their intellectual properties, except
where failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Any
and all Liens against the Company’s Intellectual Property filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office are set
forth in the Disclosure Schedule.

 

(p)       Sarbanes-Oxley;
Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance with any and all applicable requirements of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that are effective as of the date hereof, and any and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated
by the Commission thereunder that are effective as of the date hereof and as of each Closing Date. Except as disclosed in the SEC
Reports, the Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal

 

 

    	9  

    	 

    

accounting
controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s
general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements
in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s
general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable
intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The Company and the Subsidiaries have established disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and the Subsidiaries and designed
such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files
or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s
rules and forms. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures
of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange
Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under
the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures
based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the internal control
over financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) of the Company and its Subsidiaries that have materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

 

(q)       Private
Placement. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2, no registration
under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Securities by the Company to the Purchasers as contemplated
hereby. The issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder does not contravene the rules and regulations of the Trading Market.

 

(r)       No
“Bad Actor” Disqualification. The Company has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any Company Covered
Person (as defined below) is subject to any of the “bad actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) through
(viii), as modified by Rules 506(d)(2) and (d)(3), under the Securities Act (“Disqualification Events”). To
the Company’s knowledge, no Company Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event. The Company has complied, to the
extent required, with any disclosure obligations under Rule 506(e) under the Securities Act. For purposes of this Agreement, “Company
Covered Persons” are those persons specified in Rule 506(d)(1) under the Securities Act; provided, however, that Company
Covered Persons do not include (a) any Purchaser, or (b) any person or entity that is deemed to be an affiliated issuer of the
Company solely as a result of the relationship between the Company and any Purchaser.

 

(s)       Listing
and Maintenance Requirements. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and the
Company has taken no action designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration
of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission is contemplating terminating
such registration. Except as may be disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof,
received notice from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company
is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. The Company is, and has no reason to
believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements.

 

(t)       No
Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2,
neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made
any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering
of the

 

 

    	10  

    	 

    

Securities
to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of (i) the Securities Act which would require the registration
of any such securities under the Securities Act, or (ii) any applicable shareholder approval provisions of any Trading Market
on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.

 

(u)       Tax
Status. Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect, the Company and its Subsidiaries each (i) has made or filed all United States federal, state and local
income and all foreign income and franchise tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject,
(ii) has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, whether or not shown or determined
to be due on such returns, reports and declarations, and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the
payment of all material taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There
are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the
Company or of any Subsidiary know of no basis for any such claim.

 

(v)       No
General Solicitation. Neither the Company nor any person acting on behalf of the Company has offered or sold any of the Securities
by any form of general solicitation or general advertising. The Company has offered the Securities for sale only to the Purchasers
and certain other “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act.

 

3.2       Representations
and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser, for itself and for no other Purchaser, hereby represents and warrants as
of the date hereof and as of each Closing Date to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date therein):

 

(a)Organization;
Authority. Such Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited liability
company or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents
and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and
performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction
Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with
the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it 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.

 

(b)Own Account.
Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities
Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and not with a view
to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state
securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable
state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding
the distribution of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law (this representation
and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise
in compliance with applicable federal and state securities
laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.

 

    	11  

    	 

    

 

(c)Purchaser
Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on
which it converts any shares of Preferred Stock, it will be either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule
501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined
in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.

 

(d)Experience
of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and
experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment
in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk
of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

 

(e)General Solicitation.
Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding
the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any
seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

 

(f)No “Bad
Actor” Disqualification. Such Purchaser represents and warrants that neither (A) the Purchaser nor (B) any entity that
controls the Purchaser or is under the control of, or under common control with, the Holder, is subject to any Disqualification
Event, except for Disqualification Events covered by Rule 506(d)(2)(ii) or (iii) or (d)(3) under the Securities Act and disclosed
in writing in reasonable detail to the Company. The Purchaser represents that the Purchaser has exercised reasonable care to determine
the accuracy of the representation made by the Purchaser in this paragraph, and agrees to notify the Company if the Purchaser becomes
aware of any fact that makes the representation given by the Purchaser hereunder inaccurate.

 

The Company acknowledges
and agrees that the representations contained in Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to
rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained
in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement
or the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby.

 

ARTICLE IV.

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

 

4.1       Transfer
Restrictions.

 

(a)The Securities
may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other
than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection
with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion
of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities
under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this
Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement.

 

(b)The Purchasers
agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:

 

    	12  

    	 

    

 

[NEITHER] THIS SECURITY [NOR THE SECURITIES
INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS CONVERTIBLE] HAS BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION
OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES
ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH
EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THIS SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON [CONVERSION]
OF THIS SECURITY] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH
A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER
LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

 

The Company acknowledges
and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer
or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor”
as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and, if required
under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties.
Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee,
secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the
appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured
party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities, including, if the Securities
are registered under a registration statement, the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3)
under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of selling stockholders
thereunder.

 

(c)Certificates
evidencing the Conversion Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (i) while
a registration statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of
such Conversion Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Conversion Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the
requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Conversion
Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements
of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company
shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly after the events described in clauses (i)-(iv)
in the immediately preceding sentence if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. If all or
any shares of Preferred Stock are converted at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of
the Conversion Shares, or if such Conversion Shares may be sold under Rule 144 and the Company is then in compliance with the current
public information required under Rule 144, or if the Conversion Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without the requirement for
the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Conversion Shares and without
volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities
Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such Conversion Shares shall
be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following such time as such legend is no

 

 

    	13  

    	 

    

longer
required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than three Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company
or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Conversion Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such third
Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing
such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give
instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4. Certificates for Conversion
Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account
of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by such Purchaser.

or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period)
all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then
subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

 

(b)At any time
during the period commencing from the six (6) month anniversary of the date hereof and ending at such time that all of the Securities
may be sold without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without restriction or
limitation pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c).

 

4.4       Integration.
The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined
in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require
the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the
Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder approval prior
to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.

 

4.5       Conversion
and Exercise Procedures. The form of Notice of Conversion included in the Certificate of Designation sets forth the totality
of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to convert the Preferred Stock. Without limiting the preceding sentences,
no ink-original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization)
of any Notice of Conversion form be required in order to convert the Preferred Stock. No additional legal opinion, other information
or instructions shall be required of the Purchasers to convert their Preferred Stock. The Company shall honor conversions of the
Preferred Stock and shall deliver Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the
Transaction Documents.

with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company
nor any Purchaser shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of
the Company, with respect to any press release of any Purchaser, or without the prior consent of each Purchaser, with respect to
any press release of the

and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and its and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates and agents,
not to, provide any Purchaser with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from and
after the date hereof without the express prior written consent of such Purchaser.

 

4.7       Shareholder
Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that any
Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including
any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company,
or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities
under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers.

whatsoever on the obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other parties, if the Closing

or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay

assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of

law
thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates,
directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal
courts sitting in Denver, Colorado. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal
courts sitting in Denver, Colorado for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction
contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby
irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to

Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action
or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to
such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good

understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission
or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the
party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf”
signature page were an original thereof.

 

5.12       Severability.
If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal,
void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full
force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated

Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser
may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand
or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, that in the
case of a rescission of a conversion of the Preferred Stock, the applicable Purchaser shall be required to return any shares of
Common Stock subject to any such rescinded conversion notice concurrently with the restoration
of such Purchaser’s right to acquire such shares pursuant to such Purchaser’s Preferred Stock.

5.14       Replacement
of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company
shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or
in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall
also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.

 

5.15       Remedies.
In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of
the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that
monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the
Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation
the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

5.16       Payment
Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document
or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or
exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from,
disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person
under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action),
then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived
and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 

5.17       Usury.
To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and
will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any
time hereafter in force, in connection with any claim, action or proceeding that may be brought by any Purchaser in order to enforce
any right or remedy under any Transaction Document. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction
Document, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction Documents for payments
in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”),
and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated
with any other sums in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the Transaction Documents exceed such
Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction Documents
is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract
rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents from the effective date thereof
forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the
Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to any Purchaser with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such
excess shall be applied by such Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Company,
the manner of handling such excess to be at such Purchaser’s election.

 

5.18       Independent
Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several
and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance
or non-performance of

 

 

    	18  

    	 

    

the obligations of any other Purchaser under
any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant
hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other
kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such
obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect
and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or
out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party
in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation
of the Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for
the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers.

 

5.19       Liquidated
Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction
Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other
amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages
or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.

 

5.20       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.

 

5.21       Construction.
The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction
Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting
party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and
every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse
and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after
the date of this Agreement.

 

5.22       WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES
EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY
AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.
