4.19Insurance Coverage. The Company and
each Subsidiary maintains in full force and effect insurance coverage for the business being conducted and properties owned or
leased by the Company and each Subsidiary as set forth in Section 4.19 of the Disclosure Letter, and the Company reasonably believes
such insurance coverage to be adequate against all liabilities, claims and risks against which it is customary for comparably situated
companies to insure.

Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received notice
from such Trading Market to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such

with all such listing and maintenance requirements.

 

4.21Brokers and Finders. No Person will

registration of the Securities under the 1933 Act.

 

     

     

    

4.25Private Placement. Subject to the
accuracy of the Investors’ representations and warranties in Section 5 of this Agreement, the offer and sale of the Shares
to the Investors as contemplated hereby is exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act.

 

4.26Shell Company Status. The Company
is not an issuer identified in Rule 144(i)(1).

 

4.27 Questionable Payments.
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the Company’s Knowledge, any of their respective current
or former directors, officers, employees, agents or other Persons acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary, has on behalf
of the Company or any Subsidiary or in connection with their respective businesses: (a) used any corporate funds for unlawful contributions,

or (e) made any unlawful bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment of any nature.

 

4.28Transactions with Affiliates. Except

the employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any Subsidiary (other than as holders
of restricted stock or stock options, and for services as employees, officers and directors), including any contract, agreement
or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or
from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the Company’s Knowledge, any
entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner.

 

4.29Internal Controls. The Company is
in material compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 currently applicable to the Company. The Company and
the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions
are executed in accordance with management's general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets
is permitted only in accordance with management's general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets
is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The
Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in 1934 Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company
and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including the
Subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which
the Company’s most recently filed periodic report under the 1934 Act, as the case may be, is being prepared. The Company
has, except as disclosed in Section 4.29 of the Disclosure Letter, established internal control over financial reporting
(as defined in 1934 Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. The Company's certifying officers have
evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting (collectively, “internal controls”) as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed
quarterly report under the 1934 Act, in the case of disclosure controls and procedures, or annual report under the 1934 Act, in
the case of internal controls (each such date, an “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently
filed quarterly report and annual report under the 1934 Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness
of such disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls, respectively, based on their evaluations as of the applicable
Evaluation Date. Except as disclosed in the SEC Filings or in Section 4.29 of the Disclosure Letter, since the date of the
Company’s most recent quarterly report under the 1934 Act, there have been no significant changes in the Company's internal
controls or, to the Company's Knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company's internal controls. The
Company maintains and will continue to maintain a standard system of accounting established and administered in accordance with
GAAP and the applicable requirements of the 1934 Act.

 

     

     

    

4.30Disclosures. Neither the Company nor
any Person acting on its behalf has provided the Investors (other than any Investor that is a director or officer of the Company)
or their agents or counsel with any information that constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information, other than
the terms of the transactions contemplated hereby. The written materials delivered to the Investors in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 

4.31Investment Company. The Company is
not required to be registered as, and immediately following the Closing will not be required to register as, an “investment
company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

that:

representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.

5.7Legends. Such Investor understands
that, except as provided in Section 7.4 hereof, certificates evidencing the Securities may bear the following or any similar legend

hereby has not been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission in reliance upon an exemption from registration under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and, accordingly, may not be transferred unless (i) pursuant to an effective registration

of counsel reasonably satisfactory to it that such transfer may lawfully be made without registration under the Securities Act

upon the Company, any Subsidiary or an Investor for any commission, fee or other compensation pursuant to any agreement, arrangement
or understanding entered into by or on behalf of such Investor.

 

5.11Prohibited Transactions. Since the
earlier of (a) such time as such Investor was first contacted by the Company or any other Person acting on behalf of the Company
regarding the transactions contemplated hereby or (b) thirty (30) days prior to the date hereof, neither such Investor nor any
Affiliate of such Investor which (x) had knowledge of the transactions contemplated hereby, (y) has or shares discretion relating
to such Investor’s investments or trading or information concerning such Investor’s investments, including in respect
of the Securities, or (z) is subject to such Investor’s review or input concerning such Affiliate’s investments or
trading (collectively, “Trading Affiliates”) has, directly or indirectly, effected or agreed to effect any short
sale, whether or not against the box, established any “put equivalent position” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under
the 1934 Act) with respect to the Common Stock, granted any other right (including, without limitation, any put or call option)
with respect to the Common Stock or with respect to any security that includes, relates to or derived any significant part of its
value from the Common Stock or otherwise sought to hedge its position in the Securities (each, a “Prohibited Transaction”).
Prior to the earliest to occur of (i) the termination of this Agreement, (ii) the Effective Date or (iii) the Effectiveness
Deadline, such Investor shall not, and shall cause its Trading Affiliates not to, engage, directly or indirectly, in a Prohibited
Transaction. Such Investor acknowledges that the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Section 5.11 are being
made for the benefit of the Investors as well as the Company and that each of the other Investors shall have an independent right
to assert any claims against such Investor arising out of any breach or violation of the provisions of this Section 5.11.

 

5.12Placement Agent. Such Investor understands
that the Placement Agent has acted solely as the agent of the Company in the placement of the Securities, and that the Placement
Agent makes no representation or warranty with regard to the merits of this transaction or as to the accuracy of any information
such Investor may have received in connection therewith. Such Investor acknowledges that it has not relied on any information or
advice furnished by or on behalf of the Placement Agent.

(ii) By the Company if any of

any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction
Documents or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement
or the other Transaction Documents.

 

7.    Covenants and Agreements
of the Company.

 

7.1Reservation of Common Stock. The Company
shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose
of providing for the exercise of the Warrants, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time equal the number
of shares sufficient to permit the exercise of the Warrants issued pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with their respective
terms.

 

7.2No Conflicting Agreements. The Company
will not take any action, enter into any agreement or make any commitment that would conflict or interfere in any material respect
with the Company’s obligations to the Investors under the Transaction Documents.

 

7.3 Listing of Common Stock. The
Company hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on the Trading
Market on which it is currently listed, and concurrently with or prior to the Closing, the Company shall apply to list or quote
all of the Shares on such Trading Market and promptly secure the listing of all of the Shares on such Trading Market. The Company
further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will then include in such
application all of the Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Shares to be listed or quoted
on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The Company will then take all action reasonably necessary to continue the
listing or quotation and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s
reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market. The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility
of the Common Stock for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including,
without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in
connection with such electronic transfer. The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.3 shall terminate and be of no further
force and effect on the date on which the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement to register or maintain
the effectiveness of any registration covering the Registrable Securities (as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)
shall terminate.

 

     

     

    

7.4Removal of Legends. In connection with
any sale or disposition of the Securities by an Investor pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to any other exemption under the 1933
Act such that the purchaser acquires freely tradable shares and upon compliance by the Investor with the requirements of this Agreement,
the Company shall or, in the case of Common Stock, shall cause the transfer agent for the Common Stock (the “Transfer
Agent”) to issue replacement certificates representing the Securities sold or disposed of without restrictive legends.
Upon the earlier of (i) registration for resale pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement or (ii) the Shares becoming freely
tradable by a non-affiliate (without the need for current public information) pursuant to Rule 144 the Company shall (A) deliver
to the Transfer Agent irrevocable instructions that the Transfer Agent shall reissue a certificate representing shares of Common
Stock without legends upon receipt by such Transfer Agent of the legended certificates for such shares, together with either (1)
a customary representation by the Investor of compliance with Rule 144 as applicable to the shares of Common Stock represented
thereby or (2) a statement by the Investor that such Investor has sold the shares of Common Stock represented thereby in accordance
with the Plan of Distribution contained in the Registration Statement, and (B) cause its counsel to deliver to the Transfer Agent
one or more blanket opinions to the effect that the removal of such legends in such circumstances may be effected under the 1933
Act. From and after the earlier of such dates, upon an Investor’s written request, the Company shall promptly cause certificates
evidencing the Investor’s Securities to be replaced with certificates which do not bear such restrictive legends, and Warrant
Shares subsequently issued upon due exercise of the Warrants shall not bear such restrictive legends provided the provisions of
either clause (i) or clause (ii) above, as applicable, are satisfied with respect to such Warrant Shares. When the Company is required
to cause an unlegended certificate to replace a previously issued legended certificate, if: (1) the unlegended certificate is not
delivered to an Investor within three (3) Business Days of submission by that Investor of a legended certificate and supporting
documentation to the Transfer Agent as provided above and (2) prior to the time such unlegended certificate is received by the
Investor, the Investor, or any third party on behalf of such Investor or for the Investor’s account, purchases (in an open
market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Investor of shares represented
by such certificate (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Investor (for costs incurred either
directly by such Investor or on behalf of a third party) the amount by which the total purchase price paid for Common Stock as
a result of the Buy-In (including brokerage commissions, if any) exceeds the proceeds received by such Investor as a result of
the sale to which such Buy-In relates. The Investor shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to
the Investor in respect of the Buy-In.

 

7.5    Subsequent
Equity Sales; Registration Statements.

 

(a)From the date hereof until ninety (90) days
after the Closing Date, without the consent of the Required Investors, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall issue shares
of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 7.5(a) shall not apply
to (i) the issuance of the Warrant Shares, (ii) the issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents upon the conversion or
exercise of any securities of the Company or a Subsidiary outstanding on the date hereof, provided that the terms of such security
are not amended after the date hereof to decrease the exercise price or increase the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents receivable
upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, or (iii) the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents pursuant
to any Company equity incentive plan approved by the Company’s shareholders and in place on the date hereof.

 

     

     

    

(b)The Company shall not, and shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no Affiliate of the Company shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy
or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the 1933 Act) that will be integrated with the offer
or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the 1933 Act of the sale of the Securities to the
Investors, or that will 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 stockholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless stockholder
approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.

 

(c)The Company shall not, from the date hereof
until after the Effective Date, prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account
or the account of others under the 1933 Act of any of its equity securities, other than any registration statement or post-effective
amendment to a registration statement (or supplement thereto) relating to the Company’s employee benefit plans registered
on Form S-8 or, in connection with an acquisition, on Form S-4.

 

7.6Equal Treatment of Investors. No consideration
shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction
Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents. For clarification purposes,
this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Investor by the Company and negotiated separately by each Investor,
and is intended for the Company to treat the Investors as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Investors acting
in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.

 

8.    Survival and Indemnification.

 

8.1Survival. The representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

8.2 Indemnification. The Company agrees
to indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, trustees, members, managers,
employees and agents, and their respective successors and assigns, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorney fees and disbursements and other expenses incurred in connection
with investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim or proceeding, pending or threatened and the costs of enforcement
thereof) (collectively, “Losses”) to which such Person may become subject as a result of any breach of representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement made by or to be performed on the part of the Company under the Transaction Documents, and will
reimburse any such Person for all such amounts as they are incurred by such Person.

 

     

     

    

8.3Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.
Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with
respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim (including
having the exclusive right to settle or compromise such claim) with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided
that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the
defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless (a) the indemnifying
party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or (b) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim
and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person or (c) in the reasonable judgment of any such person, based upon written
advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims
(in which case, if the person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such person elects to employ separate counsel at
the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf
of such person); and provided, further, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein
shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall
materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying
party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate
firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties.

 

9.    Miscellaneous.

9.8  Severability. Any provision
of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof but shall be interpreted as
if it were written so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and any such prohibition or unenforceability
in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, the parties hereby waive any provision of law which renders any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable

both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

 

9.10Construction. The parties agree that

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.

Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State
of New York without regard to the choice of law principles thereof. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York located in New York County and the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York for the purpose of any suit, action, proceeding or judgment relating to or arising out of this Agreement and
the transactions contemplated hereby. Service of process in connection with any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on
each party hereto anywhere in the world by the same methods as are specified for the giving of notices under this Agreement. Each
of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding and to
the laying of venue in such court. Each party hereto irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit,
action or proceeding brought in such courts and irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in
any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO REQUEST A TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY LITIGATION WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND REPRESENTS THAT COUNSEL HAS BEEN CONSULTED SPECIFICALLY AS TO THIS WAIVER.

 

     

     

    

9.13 Independent Nature of Investors’
Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Investor under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the
obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any
other Investor under any Transaction Document. The decision of each Investor to purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction
Documents has been made by such Investor independently of any other Investor. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document,
and no action taken by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association,
a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors 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 Investor acknowledges
that no other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Investor
will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring its investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights
under the Transaction Documents. Each Investor 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 Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Company acknowledges that each of
the Investors has been provided with the same Transaction Documents for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple Investors
and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Investor.

		2.	Registration.

 

		(a)	Registration Statement.

 

(i)Promptly following the closing of the
purchase and sale of the securities contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing Date”) but no later
than the sixtieth (60th) day after the Closing Date (the “Filing Deadline”), the Company shall prepare and file
with the SEC one Registration Statement on Form S-1, covering the resale of the Registrable Securities for an offering to be made
on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the 1933 Act. Subject to any SEC comments, such Registration Statement shall include
the plan of distribution substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A; provided, however, that no Investor shall
be named as an “underwriter” in the Registration Statement without the Investor’s prior written consent. Such
Registration Statement also shall cover pursuant to Rule 416 such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock as
may be issuable due to an increase in the number of Warrant Shares resulting from changes in the Exercise Price pursuant to the
terms of the Warrants. Such Registration Statement shall not include any shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account
of any other holder without the prior written consent of the Required Investors. The Registration Statement (and each amendment
or supplement thereto, and each request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof) shall be provided in accordance with Section
3(c) to the Investors and their counsel prior to its filing or other submission. If a Registration Statement covering the Registrable
Securities is not filed with the SEC on or prior to the Filing Deadline, the Company will make pro rata payments to each Investor,
as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate amount invested by such Investor for each
30-day period or pro rata for any portion thereof following the Filing Deadline for which no Registration Statement is filed with
respect to the Registrable Securities. Such payments shall constitute the Investors’ exclusive monetary remedy for such events,
but shall not affect the right of the Investors to seek injunctive relief. Such payments shall be made to each Investor in cash
no later than three (3) Business Days after the end of each 30-day period.

 

     

     

    

(ii)The Company may, after it becomes eligible
to use a Registration Statement on Form S-3 to register the resale of the Registrable Securities, file such a registration statement,
provided that it shall, if possible, maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as
a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC.

 

		(b)	Expenses. The Company will pay all expenses associated with effecting the registration of the
Registrable Securities, including filing and printing fees, the Company’s counsel and accounting fees and expenses, costs
associated with clearing the Registrable Securities for sale under applicable state securities laws, listing fees, reasonable fees
and expenses of one counsel to the Investors (up to $10,000), but excluding discounts, commissions, fees of underwriters, selling
brokers, dealer managers or similar securities industry professionals with respect to the Registrable Securities being sold.

 

		(c)	Effectiveness.

 

(i)The Company shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable. The Company shall notify the Investors by
facsimile or e-mail as promptly as practicable, and in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours, after any Registration Statement
is declared effective and shall simultaneously provide the Investors with copies of any related Prospectus to be used in connection
with the sale or other disposition of the securities covered thereby. If (A) a Registration Statement covering the Registrable
Securities is not declared effective by the SEC prior to the earlier of (i) ten (10) Business Days after the SEC shall have informed
the Company that no review of the Registration Statement will be made or that the SEC has no further comments on the Registration
Statement or (ii) the 90th day after the Closing Date (the 120th day if the SEC reviews the Registration
Statement) (the earliest of such dates, the “Required Effectiveness Date”) or (B) after a Registration Statement
has been declared effective by the SEC, sales cannot be made pursuant to such Registration Statement for any reason (including
without limitation by reason of a stop order, or the Company’s failure to update the Registration Statement), but excluding
any Allowed Delay (as defined below) or the inability of any Investor to sell the Registrable Securities covered thereby due to
market conditions, then the Company will make pro rata payments to each Investor, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in
an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate amount invested by such Investor for each 30- day period or pro rata for any portion thereof
following the date by which such Registration Statement should have been effective (the “Blackout Period”).
Such payments shall constitute the Investors’ exclusive monetary remedy for such events, but shall not affect the right of
the Investors to seek injunctive relief. The amounts payable as liquidated damages pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid monthly
within three (3) Business Days of the last day of each month following the commencement of the Blackout Period until the termination
of the Blackout Period. Such payments shall be made to each Investor in cash.

 

     

     

    

(ii)For not more than thirty (30) consecutive
days or for a total of not more than sixty (60) days in any twelve (12) month period, the Company may suspend the use of any Prospectus
included in any Registration Statement contemplated by this Section in the event that the Company determines in good faith that
such suspension is necessary to (A) delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company, the disclosure
of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best interests of the Company or (B) amend or supplement
the affected Registration Statement or the related Prospectus so that such Registration Statement or Prospectus shall not include
an 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 case of the Prospectus in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (an
“Allowed Delay”); provided, that the Company shall promptly (a) notify each Investor in writing of the commencement
of an Allowed Delay, but shall not (without the prior written consent of an Investor) disclose to such Investor any material non-public
information giving rise to an Allowed Delay, (b) advise the Investors in writing to cease all sales under the Registration Statement
until the end of the Allowed Delay and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate an Allowed Delay as promptly as practicable.

 

		(d)	Rule 415; Cutback. If at any time the SEC takes the position that the offering of some or all
of the Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the
provisions of Rule 415 under the 1933 Act or requires any Investor to be named as an “underwriter”, the Company shall
use its commercially reasonable efforts to persuade the SEC that the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement is a valid
secondary offering and not an offering “by or on behalf of the issuer” as defined in Rule 415 and that none of the
Investors is an “underwriter”. The Investors shall have the right to participate or have their counsel participate
in any meetings or discussions with the SEC regarding the SEC’s position and to comment or have their counsel comment on
any written submission made to the SEC with respect thereto. No such written submission shall be made to the SEC to which the Investors’
counsel reasonably objects. In the event that, despite the Company’s commercially reasonable best efforts and compliance
with the terms of this Section 2(d), the SEC refuses to alter its position, the Company shall (i) remove from the Registration
Statement such portion of the Registrable Securities (the “Cut Back Shares”) and/or (ii) agree to such restrictions
and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Securities as the SEC may require to assure the Company’s
compliance with the requirements of Rule 415 (collectively, the “SEC Restrictions”); provided, however, that
the Company shall not agree to name any Investor as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement without the prior
written consent of such Investor. Any cut-back imposed on the Investors pursuant to this Section 2(d) shall be allocated among
the Investors on a pro rata basis and shall be applied first to any Warrant Shares, unless the SEC Restrictions otherwise require
or provide or the Investors otherwise agree. No liquidated damages shall accrue as to any Cut Back Shares until such date as the
Company is able to effect the registration of such Cut Back Shares in accordance with any SEC Restrictions (such date, the “Restriction
Termination Date” of such Cut Back Shares). From and after the Restriction Termination Date applicable to any Cut Back
Shares, all of the provisions of this Section 2 (including the liquidated damages provisions) shall again be applicable to such
Cut Back Shares; provided, however, that (i) the Filing Deadline for the Registration Statement including such Cut Back Shares
shall be thirty (30) days after such Restriction Termination Date, and (ii) the date by which the Company is required to obtain
effectiveness with respect to such Cut Back Shares under Section 2(c) shall be the 90th day immediately after the Restriction
Termination Date. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 2(d), the term “commercially reasonable best efforts”
shall not require the Company to (i) institute or maintain any action, suit or proceeding against the SEC or any member of the
Staff of the SEC, or (ii) delay the effective date of the Registration Statement to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a)(i) beyond
the Required Effectiveness Date so long as the Company is proceeding diligently and in good faith to respond to any other SEC comments
on such Registration Statement.

 

     

     

    

		(e)	Right to Piggyback Registration.

 

(i)If at any time following the date of
this Agreement that any Registrable Securities remain outstanding (A) there is not one or more effective Registration Statements
covering all of the Registrable Securities and (B) the Company proposes for any reason to register any shares of Common Stock under
the 1933 Act (other than pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (or a similar or successor form)) with respect
to an offering of Common Stock by the Company for its own account or for the account of any of its stockholders, it shall at each
such time promptly give written notice to the holders of the Registrable Securities of its intention to do so (but in no event
less than twenty (20) days before the anticipated filing date) and, to the extent permitted under the 1933 Act (including under
any SEC Restrictions), include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written
requests for inclusion therein within ten (10) days after receipt of the Company’s notice (a “Piggyback Registration”).
Such notice shall offer the holders of the Registrable Securities the opportunity to register such number of shares of Registrable
Securities as each such holder may request and shall indicate the intended method of distribution of such Registrable Securities.

 

(ii)Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) if
such registration involves an underwritten public offering, the Investors must agree to sell their Registrable Securities to, if
applicable, the underwriter(s) at the same price and subject to the same underwriting discounts and commissions that apply to the
other securities sold in such offering (it being acknowledged that the Company shall be responsible for other expenses as set forth
in Section 2(b)) and must enter into customary underwriting documentation for selling stockholders in an underwritten public offering,
and (B) if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section
2(e)(i) and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall
determine for any reason not to cause such registration statement to become effective under the 1933 Act, the Company shall deliver
written notice to the Investors and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection
with such registration; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 2(e)(ii) shall limit the Company’s liabilities
and/or obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay liquidated damages under this Section
2. If the managing underwriter(s) for the underwritten public offering advise the Company that the number of shares proposed to
be included in the offering exceeds the number that can reasonably be sold in the offering, then the shares to be included in such
offering shall be allocated, first, to the account of the Company, in the event that the public offering relates to a primary offering
by or on behalf of the Company, or, if the offering is being made pursuant to a demand registration rights granted to one or more
holders of Common Stock, such holders, second, to the Investors, on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities
the Investors sought to include in such offering, and third, to any other holder of Common Stock having the right to include its
shares in such offering.

     

     

    

3.     
Company Obligations. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable
Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, and pursuant thereto the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:

 

		(a)	use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and to
remain continuously effective for a period that will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities
covered by such Registration Statement as amended from time to time, have been sold, and (ii) the date on which all Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 (the “Effectiveness
Period”) and advise the Investors in writing when the Effectiveness Period has expired;

 

		(b)	prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement
and the Prospectus as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective for the Effectiveness Period and to comply
with the provisions of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act with respect to the distribution of all of the Registrable Securities covered
thereby;

 

		(c)	provide copies to and permit counsel designated by the Investors to review each Registration Statement
and all amendments and supplements thereto no fewer than three (3) Business Days prior to their filing with the SEC and not file
any document to which such counsel reasonably objects;

 

		(d)	furnish to the Investors and their legal counsel (i) promptly after the same is prepared and publicly
distributed, filed with the SEC, or received by the Company (but not later than two (2) Business Days after the filing date, receipt
date or sending date, as the case may be) one (1) copy of any Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, each preliminary
prospectus and Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the
SEC or the staff of the SEC, and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in each case relating to such
Registration Statement (other than any portion thereof which contains information for which the Company has sought confidential
treatment), and (ii) such number of copies of a Prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and all amendments and supplements
thereto and such other documents as each Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable
Securities owned by such Investor that are covered by the related Registration Statement;

 

     

     

    

		(e)	use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension
of effectiveness and (ii) if such order is issued, obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest possible moment;

 

		(f)	prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use commercially reasonable efforts to register
or qualify or cooperate with the Investors and their counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of such Registrable
Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions requested by the Investors and do any
and all other commercially reasonable acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the distribution in such jurisdictions of
the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in
connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (i) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be
required to qualify but for this Section 3(f), (ii) subject itself to general taxation in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise
be so subject but for this Section 3(f), or (iii) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction;

 

		(g)	use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration
Statement to be listed on each securities exchange, interdealer quotation system or other market on which similar securities issued
by the Company are then listed;

 

		(h)	immediately notify the Investors, at any time prior to the end of the Effectiveness Period, upon discovery
that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the Prospectus includes an untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light
of the circumstances then existing, and promptly prepare, file with the SEC and furnish to such holder a supplement to or an amendment
of such Prospectus as may be necessary so that such Prospectus shall not include an 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 in light of the
circumstances then existing;

 

     

     

    

		(i)	otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations
of the SEC under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, including, without limitation, Rule 172 under the 1933 Act, file any final Prospectus,
including any supplement or amendment thereof, with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act, promptly inform the Investors
in writing if, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, the Company does not satisfy the conditions specified in Rule 172 and,
as a result thereof, the Investors are required to deliver a Prospectus in connection with any disposition of Registrable Securities
and take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate the registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder;
and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than the Availability Date (as defined

thereunder (for the purpose of this subsection 3(i), “Availability Date” means the 45th day following the end
of the fourth fiscal quarter that includes the effective date of such Registration Statement, except that, if such fourth fiscal
quarter is the last quarter of the Company’s fiscal year, “Availability Date” means the 90th day after the end
of such fourth fiscal quarter); and

 

		(j)	With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 (or its successor rule)
and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell shares of Common Stock to the public
without registration, the Company covenants and agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) make and keep public information
available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, until the earlier of (A) six months after such date as all of
the Registrable Securities may be sold without restriction by the holders thereof pursuant to Rule 144 or any other rule of similar
effect or (B) such date as all of the Registrable Securities shall have been resold; (ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner
all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1934 Act; and (iii) furnish to each Investor upon request, as
long as such Investor owns any Registrable Securities, (A) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting
requirements of the 1934 Act, (B) a copy of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q, and (C) such other information as may be reasonably requested in order to avail such Investor of any rule or regulation of
the SEC that permits the selling of any such Registrable Securities without registration.

 

4.     
Due Diligence Review; Information. The Company shall make available, during normal business hours, for inspection
and review by the Investors, advisors to and representatives of the Investors (who may or may not be affiliated with the Investors
and who are reasonably acceptable to the Company), all financial and other records, all SEC Filings (as defined in the Purchase
Agreement) and other filings with the SEC, and all other corporate documents and properties of the Company as may be reasonably
necessary for the purpose of such review, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees, within a reasonable
time period, to supply all such information reasonably requested by the Investors or any such representative, advisor or underwriter
in connection with such Registration Statement (including, without limitation, in response to all questions and other inquiries
reasonably made or submitted by any of them), prior to and from time to time after the filing and effectiveness of the Registration
Statement for the sole purpose of enabling the Investors and such representatives, advisors and underwriters and their respective
accountants and attorneys to conduct initial and ongoing due diligence with respect to the Company and the accuracy of such Registration
Statement.

 

     

     

    

The Company shall not disclose material nonpublic
information to the Investors, or to advisors to or representatives of the Investors, unless prior to disclosure of such information
the Company identifies such information as being material nonpublic information and provides the Investors, such advisors and representatives
with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such material nonpublic information for review and any Investor wishing to obtain
such information enters into an appropriate confidentiality agreement with the Company with respect thereto.

 

5.     
Obligations of the Investors.

 

(a)Each Investor shall furnish in writing
to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition
of the Registrable Securities held by it, as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities
and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request. At least five (5)
Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of any Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Investor
of the information the Company requires from such Investor if such Investor elects to have any of the Registrable Securities included
in the Registration Statement. An Investor shall provide such information to the Company at least two (2) Business Days prior to
the first anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement if such Investor elects to have any of the Registrable Securities
included in the Registration Statement.

 

(b)Each Investor, by its acceptance of the
Registrable Securities agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation
and filing of a Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing of its election to exclude
all of its Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.

 

(c)Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt
of any notice from the Company of either (i) the commencement of an Allowed Delay pursuant to Section 2(c)(ii) or (ii) the happening
of an event pursuant to Section 3(h) hereof, such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant
to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities, until the Investor is advised by the Company that such dispositions
may again be made.

 

     

     

    

6.     
Indemnification.

 

(a)Indemnification by the Company.
The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement
and its officers, directors, members, employees and agents, successors and assigns, and each other person, if any, who controls
such Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which
they may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in any Registration Statement or omission or alleged omission of any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, or omission
or alleged omission of any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading, in each case contained in any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement
thereof; (iii) any blue sky application or other document executed by the Company specifically for that purpose or based upon written
information furnished by the Company filed in any state or other jurisdiction in order to qualify any or all of the Registrable
Securities under the securities laws thereof (any such application, document or information herein called a “Blue Sky
Application”); (iv) the omission or alleged omission to state in a Blue Sky Application a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (v) any violation by the Company or its agents of any
rule or regulation promulgated under the 1933 Act applicable to the Company or its agents and relating to action or inaction required
of the Company in connection with such registration; or (vi) any failure to register or qualify the Registrable Securities included
in any such Registration Statement in any state where the Company or its agents has affirmatively undertaken or agreed in writing
that the Company will undertake such registration or qualification on an Investor’s behalf and will reimburse such Investor,
and each such officer, director or member and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however,
that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises
out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with
information furnished by such Investor or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in such Registration Statement
or Prospectus.

 

(b)Indemnification by the Investors.
Each Investor agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company,
its directors, officers, employees, stockholders and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the 1933 Act)
against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expense (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from (i) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, or omission or alleged omission
of any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, or omission or alleged omission of any material fact necessary in order
to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case contained in
any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof, in each case to the extent, but only to
the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such Investor to the
Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto. In no event
shall the liability of an Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such
Investor in connection with any claim relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any damages such Investor has otherwise been
required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission) received by such Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities
included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

     

     

    

(c)Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.
Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect
to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right
to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be
at the expense of such person unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or (b) the indemnifying
party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person or (c) in
the reasonable judgment of any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such
person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the indemnifying party in
writing that such person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall
not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such person); and provided, further, that the
failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations
hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the
defense of any such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding
in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified
parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter
into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified
party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.

 

(d)Contribution. If for any reason
the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient
to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid
or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act shall be entitled to contribution
from any person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a holder of Registrable
Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such holder in connection with
any claim relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of
such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities
giving rise to such contribution obligation.

or similar business combination transaction in which the Common Stock is converted into the equity securities of another Person,

the obligations of the Company hereunder, the term “Company” shall be deemed to refer to such Person and the term “Registrable

such securities are otherwise freely tradable by the Investors after giving effect to such transaction.

of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof but shall be interpreted as if it

in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, the parties hereby waive any provision of law which renders any provisions hereof prohibited or unenforceable
in any respect.

 

(i)Further Assurances. The parties
shall execute and deliver all such further instruments and documents and take all such other actions as may reasonably be required

Exhibit A

 

Plan of Distribution

 

The selling stockholders, which as used herein
includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock or interests in shares of
common stock received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution
or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or
interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private
transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to
the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

 

The selling stockholders may use any one or
more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:

 

	•	ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
	 	 
	•	block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
	 	 
	•	purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
	 	 
	•	an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
	 	 
	•	privately negotiated transactions;
	 	 
	•	short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC;
	 	 
	•	through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
	 	 
	•	broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
	 	 
	•	a combination of any such methods of sale; and
	 	 
	•	any other method permitted by applicable law.

 

The selling stockholders may, from time to time,
pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance
of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time,
under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities
Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders
under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case
the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

 

     

     

    

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders
may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling
stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated.
The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts relating to their sales of shares to exceed what is customary
in the types of transactions involved.

 

In connection with the sale of our common stock
or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions,
which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders
may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge
the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option
or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities
which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares
such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect
such transaction).

 

The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders
from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions,
if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with its agents from time to time, to reject,
in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the
proceeds from this offering. Upon any exercise of the warrants by payment of cash, however, we will receive the exercise price
of the warrants.

 

The selling stockholders also may resell all
or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, provided that
they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.

 

The selling stockholders and any underwriters,
broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be “underwriters”
within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale
of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are “underwriters”
within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities
Act.

 

To the extent required, the shares of our common
stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of
any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth
in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes
this prospectus.

 

In order to comply with the securities laws
of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers
or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or
an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

 

     

     

    

We have advised the selling stockholders that
the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities
of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, to the extent applicable we will make copies of this prospectus
(as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates
in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities
Act.

 

We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders
against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of
the shares offered by this prospectus.

 

We have agreed with the selling stockholders
to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (1) such time as
all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement
or (2) the date on which all of the shares may be sold without restriction by the holders thereof pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities
Act.
