of the Closing, a number of shares of Common Stock shall have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance which equals or exceeds
(the “Required Reserved Amount) the sum of (i) the maximum number of Conversion Shares issued and issuable pursuant
to the Notes based on the Conversion Price (as defined in the Notes) (without taking into account any limitations on the issuance
thereof pursuant to the terms of the Notes) and (ii) the maximum number of Warrant Shares issued and issuable pursuant to the Warrants,
each as of the Trading Day (as defined in the Warrants) immediately preceding the applicable date of determination (without taking
into account any limitations on the exercise of the Warrants set forth in the Warrants). As of the date hereof, there are 96,600,128
shares of Common Stock authorized and unissued. Upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with the Notes or exercise of the Warrants
in accordance with the Warrants, as the case may be, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, respectively, will be validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all preemptive or similar rights, taxes, liens, charges and other encumbrances
with respect to the issue thereof, with the holders being entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock. Assuming
the accuracy of each of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement, the offer and issuance by
the Company of the Securities is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act.

Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the
Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Notes and the Warrants
and reservation for issuance and issuance of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares) will not (i) result in a violation of
the Certificate of Incorporation (as defined in Section (3(r)) or Bylaws (as defined in Section (3(r)), any memorandum of association,
certificate of incorporation, certificate of formation, bylaws, any certificate of designations or other constituent documents
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the articles of association
or bylaws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice
or lapse of time or both would become a default) in any respect under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment,
acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party,
or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including other foreign, federal and state
securities laws and regulations and the rules and regulations of The NASDAQ Capital Market (the “Principal Market”)
and including all applicable laws of the State of Delaware and any foreign, federal and state laws, rules and regulations) applicable
to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound
or affected.

(e)        Consents.
The Company is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with (other than
the filing of a Form D with the SEC and other filings as may be required by state securities agencies), any court, governmental
agency or any regulatory or self-regulatory agency or any other Person in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its
obligations under or contemplated by the Transaction Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof. All
consents, authorizations, orders, filings and registrations which the Company is required to obtain pursuant to the preceding sentence
have been obtained or effected on or prior to the Closing Date (or in the case of the filings detailed above, will be made timely
after the Closing Date), and the Company is unaware of any facts or circumstances that might prevent the Company from obtaining
or effecting any of the registration, application or filings pursuant to the preceding sentence. The Company is not in violation
of the listing requirements of the Principal Market and has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances that would reasonably lead
to delisting or suspension of the Common Stock in the foreseeable future. The issuance by the Company of the Securities shall not
have the effect of delisting or suspending the Common Stock from the Principal Market.

(f)        Acknowledgment
Regarding Buyer’s Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each Buyer is acting solely in the
capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby and that no Buyer is (i) an officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) an “affiliate”
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as defined in Rule 144) or (iii) to the knowledge of the Company, a “beneficial
owner” of more than 10% of the shares of Common Stock (as defined for purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”)). The Company further acknowledges that no Buyer is acting as a financial
advisor or fiduciary of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents
and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and any advice given by a Buyer or any of its representatives or agents in
connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to such Buyer’s
purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to each Buyer that the Company’s decision to enter into the Transaction
Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation by the Company and its representatives.

General Solicitation; Placement Agent’s Fees. Neither the Company, nor any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates, nor any

of Regulation D) in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities. The Company shall be responsible for the payment of any
placement agent’s fees, financial advisory fees, or brokers’ commissions (other than for persons engaged by any Buyer
or its investment advisor) relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, any
placement agent fees payable in connection with the sale of the Securities. The Company shall pay, and hold each Buyer harmless
against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising

in connection with the sale of the Securities.

(h)        No
Integrated Offering. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, any of their affiliates, nor any Person acting on 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 require registration of the issuance of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act, whether through integration with prior
offerings or otherwise, or cause this offering of the Securities to require approval of stockholders of the Company for purposes
of the 1933 Act or any applicable stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations
of any exchange or automated quotation system on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated for quotation.
None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, their affiliates nor any Person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps referred
to in the preceding sentence that would require registration of the issuance of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act or cause
the offering of any of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings for purposes of any such applicable stockholder approval
provisions.

(i)        Dilutive
Effect. The Company further acknowledges that its obligation to issue Conversion Shares pursuant to the terms of the Notes
in accordance with this Agreement and the Notes and Warrants is absolute and unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect that
such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders of the Company.

(j)        Application
of Takeover Protections; Rights Agreement. The Company and its board of directors have taken all necessary action, if any,
in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, interested shareholder, business combination, poison pill (including,
without limitation, any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Certificate of
Incorporation, Bylaws or other organizational documents or the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation which is or could become
applicable to any Buyer as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Company’s
issuance of the Securities and any Buyer’s ownership of the Securities. The Company has not adopted a stockholder rights
plan or similar arrangement relating to accumulations of beneficial ownership of Common Stock or a change in control of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries.

Closing Date, and all exhibits included therein and financial statements, notes and schedules thereto and documents incorporated
by reference therein being hereinafter referred to as the “SEC Documents”). The Company has delivered to the
Buyers or their respective representatives true, correct and complete copies of the SEC Documents not available on the EDGAR system.
As of their respective filing dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act
and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents,
at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading. As of their respective filing dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC
Documents complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations
of the SEC with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, consistently applied, during the periods involved (“GAAP”) (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated
in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may
exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the financial position
of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then
ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments which will not be material either individually
or in the aggregate). No other information provided by or on behalf of the Company to any of the Buyers which is not included in
the SEC Documents, including, without limitation, information referred to in Section 2(d) of this Agreement or in the disclosure
schedules to this Agreement, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in

pursuant to any law or statute relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, liquidation or winding up nor
does the Company or any Subsidiary have any knowledge or reason to believe that any of its respective creditors intend to initiate
involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any actual knowledge of any fact that would reasonably lead a creditor to do so. The Company
and its Subsidiaries, individually and on a consolidated basis, are not as of the date hereof, and after giving effect to the transactions
contemplated hereby to occur at the Closing, will not be Insolvent (as defined below). For purposes of this Section 3(l), “Insolvent”

to pay such Person’s total Indebtedness (as defined in Section 3(s)), (ii) such Person is unable to pay its debts and liabilities,
subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured, (iii) such Person intends to
incur or believes that it will incur debts that would be beyond its ability to pay as such debts mature or (iv) such Person has

Incorporation or Bylaws or their organizational charter or memorandum of association or certificate of incorporation or articles
of association or bylaws, respectively. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any judgment, decree
or order or any statute, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and neither the Company
nor any of its Subsidiaries will conduct its business in violation of any of the foregoing, except for possible violations which

of the foregoing, the Company is not in violation of any of the rules, regulations or requirements of the Principal Market and
has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances that would reasonably lead to delisting or suspension of the Common Stock by the
Principal Market in the foreseeable future that cannot be cured within any applicable cure time periods provided by the Principal
Market. Except as set forth in Schedule 3(n), during the two (2) years prior to the date hereof, the Common Stock has been

any outstanding Indebtedness (as defined below), (ii) except as disclosed in Schedule 3(s)(ii), is a party to any contract,
agreement or instrument, the violation of which, or default under which, by the other party(ies) to such contract, agreement or

of which, in the judgment of the Company’s officers, has or is expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Schedule 3(s)
provides a detailed description of the material terms of any such outstanding Indebtedness. For purposes of this Agreement: (x)
“Indebtedness” of any Person means, without duplication (A) all indebtedness for borrowed money, (B) all obligations
issued, undertaken or assumed as the deferred purchase price of property or services, including, without limitation, “capital
leases” in accordance with GAAP (other than trade payables entered into in the ordinary course of business consistent with
past practice), (C) all reimbursement or payment obligations with respect to letters of credit, surety bonds and other similar
instruments, (D) all obligations evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or similar instruments, including obligations so evidenced
incurred in connection with the acquisition of property, assets or businesses, (E) all indebtedness created or arising under any
conditional sale or other title retention agreement, or incurred as financing, in either case with respect to any property or assets
acquired with the proceeds of such indebtedness (even though the rights and remedies of the seller or bank under such agreement
in the event of default are limited to repossession or sale of such property), (F) all monetary obligations under any leasing or
similar arrangement which, in connection with GAAP, consistently applied for the periods covered thereby, is classified as a capital

or other encumbrance of any nature whatsoever in or upon any property or assets (including accounts and contract rights) with respect
to any asset or property owned by any Person, even though the Person which owns such assets or property has not assumed or become
liable for the payment of such indebtedness, and (H) all Contingent Obligations in respect of indebtedness or obligations of others
of the kinds referred to in clauses (A) through (G) above; and (y) “Contingent Obligation” means, as to any
Person, any direct or indirect liability, contingent or otherwise, of that Person with respect to any Indebtedness, lease, dividend

thereof, is to provide assurance to the obligee of such liability that such liability will be paid or discharged, or that any agreements
relating thereto will be complied with, or that the holders of such liability will be protected (in whole or in part) against loss
with respect thereto.

(t)        Absence
of Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by the Principal Market, any court,
public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against
or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Common Stock or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or any of the
Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ officers or directors, whether of a civil or criminal nature or otherwise, in their
capacities as such, except as set forth in Schedule 3(t). The matters set forth in Schedule 3(t) would not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(u)        Insurance.
The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and
risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company
and its Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought or
applied for and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing
insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to
continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(v)        Employee
Relations.

(i)           Neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any collective bargaining agreement or employs any member of a union. The

Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as defined in Rule 501(f) of the 1933 Act) has notified the Company or any such Subsidiary
that such officer intends to leave the Company or any such Subsidiary or otherwise terminate such officer’s employment with
the Company or any such Subsidiary. No executive officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, to the knowledge of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries, is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality,
disclosure or proprietary information agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive
covenant, 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.

    	- 13 -

    	 

    

 

(ii)           The
Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting labor,
employment and employment practices and benefits, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where failure
to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

(w)        Title.
The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property and good and marketable title
to all personal property owned by them which is material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case except
as set forth on Schedule 3(w), free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects except such as do not materially affect
the value of such property and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and any
of its Subsidiaries. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries are held by them
under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere with the use made
and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(x)        Intellectual
Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess adequate rights or licenses to use all trademarks, trade names,
service marks, service mark registrations, service names, original works of authorship, patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions,
licenses, approvals, governmental authorizations, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights and all applications and
registrations therefor (“Intellectual Property Rights”) necessary to conduct their respective businesses as
now conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted. Each of patents owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is listed
on Schedule 3(x)(i). Except as set forth in Schedule 3(x)(ii), none of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’
Intellectual Property Rights have expired or terminated or have been abandoned or are expected to expire or terminate or are expected
to be abandoned, within three years from the date of this Agreement. The Company does not have any knowledge of any infringement
by the Company or its Subsidiaries of Intellectual Property Rights of others. There is no claim, action or proceeding being made
or brought, or to the knowledge of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, being threatened, against the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries regarding its Intellectual Property Rights. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is aware of any facts
or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing infringements or claims, actions or proceedings. The Company and
its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their Intellectual
Property Rights.

(y)        Environmental
Laws. The Company and its Subsidiaries (i) are in compliance with any and all Environmental Laws (as hereinafter defined),
(ii) have received all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their
respective businesses and (iii) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval where,
in each of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the failure to so comply could be reasonably expected to have, individually
or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The term “Environmental Laws” means all federal, state, local
or foreign laws relating to pollution or protection of human health or the environment (including, without limitation, ambient
air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata), including, without limitation, laws relating to emissions,
discharges, releases or threatened releases of chemicals, pollutants, contaminants, or toxic or hazardous substances or wastes
(collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) into the environment, or otherwise relating to the manufacture,
processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials, as well as all authorizations,
codes, decrees, demands or demand letters, injunctions, judgments, licenses, notices or notice letters, orders, permits, plans
or regulations issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder.

(z)        Subsidiary

law) to receive dividends and distributions on, all capital securities of its Subsidiaries as owned by the Company or such Subsidiary.

(aa)       Investment
Company Status. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is, and upon consummation of the sale of the Securities, and for so

covenants and agrees that such Buyer shall not have any duty of confidentiality to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any
of their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates or agent with respect to, or a duty to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries
or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates or agent not to trade on the basis of, such material, nonpublic
information. Subject to the foregoing, neither the Company, its Subsidiaries nor any Buyer shall issue any press releases or any
other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled,
without the prior approval of any Buyer, to make any press release or other public disclosure with respect to such transactions

special meeting of stockholders to authorize additional shares to meet the Company’s obligations under Section 3(c), in the
case of an insufficient number of authorized shares, obtain stockholder approval of an increase in such authorized number of shares,

failure to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) or (ii) if the Company has ever been an issuer
described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) or becomes such an issuer in the future, and the Company shall fail to satisfy any condition set
forth in Rule 144(i)(2) (a “Public Information Failure”) then, as partial relief for the damages to any holder
of Securities by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Securities (which remedy shall not be exclusive
of any other remedies available at law or in equity), the Company shall pay to each such holder an amount in cash equal to two
percent (2.0%) of the aggregate Purchase Price of such holder’s Securities on the day of a Public Information Failure and
on every thirtieth day (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the earlier of (i) the date such
Public Information Failure is cured and (ii) such time that such Public Information Failure no longer prevents a holder of Securities
from selling such Securities pursuant to Rule 144 without any restrictions or limitations. The payments to which a holder shall
be entitled pursuant to this Section 4(n) are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure Payments.” Public
Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (I) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public
Information Failure Payments are incurred and (II) the third Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the
Public Information Failure Payments is cured. In the event the Company fails to make Public Information Failure Payments

(b)        Transfer
Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent, and any subsequent transfer agent,
in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”) to issue certificates

for the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares issued at the Closing or pursuant to the terms of the Notes or exercise of the
Warrants in such amounts as specified from time to time by each Buyer to the Company upon conversion of the Notes or exercise of
the Warrants. The Company warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this

agent, and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent
provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. If a Buyer effects a sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities
in accordance with Section 2(f), the Company shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue
one or more certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in such name and in such denominations as specified
by such Buyer to effect such sale, transfer or assignment to the extent the transaction is FAST eligible (i.e.: if legended shares

Shares or the Warrant Shares sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to Rule
144, the transfer agent shall issue such Securities to the Buyer, assignee or transferee, as the case may be, without any restrictive
legend. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a Buyer. Accordingly,

be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate

agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by such Buyer at or prior to the

    	- 25 -

    	 

    

 

(viii)     The
representations and warranties of the Company shall be true and correct as of the date when made and as of the Closing Date as
though made at that time (except for representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date which shall be true and correct
as of such specified date) and the Company shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all respects with the covenants, agreements
and conditions required by the Transaction Documents to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Company at or prior to
the Closing Date. Such Buyer shall have received a certificate, executed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, dated as

attached hereto as Exhibit F.

(ix)       The
Company shall have delivered to such Buyer a letter from the Company’s transfer agent certifying the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding as of a date within five (5) days of the Closing Date.

(x)       
The Common Stock (I) shall be designated for quotation or listed on the Principal Market and (II) shall not have been suspended,
as of the Closing Date, by the SEC or the Principal Market from trading on the Principal Market nor shall suspension by the SEC

such Buyer or its counsel may reasonably request.

8.          TERMINATION.
In the event that the Closing shall not have occurred with respect to a Buyer on or before five (5) Business Days from the date
hereof due to the Company’s or such Buyer’s failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Sections 6 and 7 above (and
the nonbreaching party’s failure to waive such unsatisfied condition(s)), the nonbreaching party shall have the option to
terminate this Agreement with respect to such breaching party at the close of business on such date by delivering a written notice
to that effect to each other party to this Agreement and without liability of any party to any other party; provided, however,
that if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 8, the Company shall remain obligated to reimburse Empery or its
designee(s), as applicable, for the expenses described in Section 4(g) above.

9.          MISCELLANEOUS.

(a)        Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this
Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict
of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the
laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder
or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees
not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court,
that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is
improper. 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 to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees
that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be
deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY
RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH
OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

    	- 26 -

    	 

    

 

(b)        Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement
and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party; provided that a facsimile
or .pdf signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect
as if the signature were an original, not a facsimile or .pdf signature.

(c)        Headings.
The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this
Agreement.

(d)        Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the
broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect
the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without
material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or
unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations
of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will
endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s),
the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

    	- 27 -

    	 

    

 

(e)        Entire
Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents supersede all other prior oral or written agreements
between the Buyers, the Company, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein,
and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding
of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein,
neither the Company nor any Buyer makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. Provisions
of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either
retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable under the Notes and Warrants (without regard to any restriction or limitation
on the exercise of the Warrants or conversion of the Notes contained therein) and shall include affiliates of Empery Asset Management,
LP (the “Designee”) so long as the Designee or any of its affiliates holds any Securities (the “Required
Holders”). Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 9(e) shall be binding upon each Buyer and
holder of Securities and the Company. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the
Buyers or holders of Securities. 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 (other than the reimbursement of legal fees)
also is offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents, holders of Notes or holders of the Warrants, as the case may
be. The Company has not, directly or indirectly, made any agreements with any Buyers relating to the terms or conditions of the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents except as set forth in the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing,
the Company confirms that, except as set forth in this Agreement, no Buyer has made any commitment or promise or has any other
obligation to provide any financing to the Company or otherwise.

(f)        Notices.
Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must
be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent
by facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending
party) or by electronic mail; or (iii) one Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier service, in each case properly

(g)        Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors
and assigns, including any purchasers of the Notes or the Warrants. The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights
or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, including by way of a Fundamental Transaction
(unless the Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Transactions set forth in the Notes
and the Warrants). A Buyer may assign some or all of its rights hereunder without the consent of the Company, in which event such
assignee shall be deemed to be a Buyer hereunder with respect to such assigned rights.

    	- 29 -

    	 

    

(h)        No
Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted
successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except that
each Indemnitee shall have the right to enforce the obligations of the Company with respect to Section 9(k).

(i)        Survival.
Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 8, the representations and warranties of the Company and the Buyers contained
in Sections 2 and 3, and the agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 4, 5 and 9 shall survive the Closing. Each Buyer shall
be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.

(j)        Further
Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall
execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request
in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby.

(k)        Indemnification.
(i)In consideration of each Buyer’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder
and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect,
indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer and each other holder of the Securities and all of their stockholders, partners, members,
officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives
(including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively,
the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties,
fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to
the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the
“Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a)
any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in the Transaction Documents or any other
certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of
the Company contained in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby
or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes
a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company) and arising out of or resulting from (i) the execution, delivery, performance
or enforcement of the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii)
any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the
Securities, (iii) any disclosure made by such Buyer pursuant to Section 4(i), or (iv) the status of such Buyer or holder of the
Securities as an investor in the Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. To the extent
that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution
to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under applicable law.

    	- 30 -

    	 

    

(ii)       Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnitee under this Section 9(k) of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any
governmental action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim for indemnification in
respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 9(k), deliver to the indemnifying party a written
notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the
indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof
with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnitee; provided, however, that an Indemnitee
shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for such Indemnitee to
be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnitee, the representation by such counsel of the
Indemnitee and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnitee
and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. Legal counsel referred to in the immediately preceding sentence
shall be selected by the Buyers holding at least a majority of the Securities issued and issuable hereunder. The Indemnitee shall
cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Indemnified Liabilities
by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnitee that
relates to such action or Indemnified Liabilities. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnitee fully apprised at all times
as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for
any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however,
that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without
the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld conditioned or delayed, consent
to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which (i) does not include as an unconditional term
thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such Indemnified
Liabilities or litigation, (ii) requires any admission of wrongdoing by such Indemnitee, or (iii) obligates or requires an Indemnitee
to take, or refrain from taking, any action. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall
be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter
for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time
of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnitee under this
Section 9(k), except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

    	- 31 -

    	 

    

(iii)      The
indemnification required by this Section 9(k) shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the
investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Liabilities are incurred.

(iv)       The
indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (x) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnitee against
the indemnifying party or others, and (y) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

(l)        No
Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express
their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

(m)      Remedies.
Each Buyer and each holder of the Securities shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all
rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights
which such holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to
enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any
provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, the Company recognizes that in the event
that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law
may prove to be inadequate relief to the Buyers. The Company therefore agrees that the Buyers shall be entitled to seek temporary
and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or
other security.

(n)        Rescission
and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of)
the Transaction Documents, whenever any Buyer exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the
Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Buyer 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.

(o)        Payment
Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Buyers hereunder or pursuant to any of the other
Transaction Documents or the Buyers enforce or exercise their rights hereunder or 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, foreign, 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.

    	- 32 -

    	 

    

(p)        Independent
Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Buyer under any Transaction Document are several and
not joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations
of any other Buyer under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action
taken by any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Buyers as, and the Company acknowledges that
the Buyers do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption
that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim with respect to
such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and the Company acknowledges that the Buyers are
not acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
The Company acknowledges and each Buyer confirms that it has independently participated in the negotiation of the transaction
contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Buyer shall be entitled to independently protect and
enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents,
and it shall not be necessary for any other Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
