disseminated by the Company during the twelve months preceding the date of this Agreement taken as a whole do not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made and when made, not misleading. The Company acknowledges and agrees
that no Purchaser makes or has made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other
than those specifically set forth in Section 3.2 hereof.

(v)         No
Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2,
neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made
any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering
of the Units to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of any applicable shareholder approval provisions
of any Trading Market on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.

 

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

 

(x)         Foreign
Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company, nor to the knowledge of the Company, any agent or other person acting on behalf of
the Company, has (i) directly or indirectly, used any funds for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful
expenses related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government officials
or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully
any contribution made by the Company (or made by any person acting on its behalf of which the Company is aware) which is in violation
of law, or (iv) violated in any material respect any provision of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

 

(y)         Acknowledgment
Regarding Purchasers’ Purchase of Shares. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each of the Purchasers is acting solely
in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated
thereby. The Company further acknowledges that no Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in
any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby and any advice given
by any Purchaser or any of their respective representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions
contemplated thereby is merely incidental to the Purchasers’ purchase of the Shares. The Company further represents to each
Purchaser that the Company’s decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents has been based solely
on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company and its representatives.

 

    	 	 12	 

     

    

 

(z)         Acknowledgement
Regarding Purchaser’s Trading Activity. Anything in this Agreement or elsewhere
herein to the contrary notwithstanding (except for Sections 3.2(d) and 4.11 hereof), it is understood and acknowledged by the
Company that: (i) none of the Purchasers have been asked by the Company to agree, nor has any Purchaser agreed, to desist from
purchasing or selling, long and/or short, securities of the Company, or “derivative” securities based on securities
issued by the Company or to hold the Shares for any specified term; (ii) past or future open market or other transactions by any
Purchaser, specifically including, without limitation, Short Sales or “derivative” transactions, before or after the
closing of this or future private placement transactions, may negatively impact the market price of the Company’s publicly-traded
securities; (iii) any Purchaser, and counter-parties in “derivative” transactions to which any such Purchaser is a
party, directly or indirectly, presently may have a “short” position in the Common Stock, and (iv) each Purchaser
shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counter-party in any “derivative”
transaction. The Company further understands and acknowledges that (y) one or more Purchasers may engage in hedging
activities at various times during the period that the Shares are outstanding, and (z) such hedging activities (if any) could
reduce the value of the existing stockholders' equity interests in the Company at and after the time that the hedging activities
are being conducted.  The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute a breach of
any of the Transaction Documents.

 

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

 

(a)         The Purchaser is acquiring
the Shares for his or its own account as principal, not as a nominee or agent, for investment purposes only, and not with a view
to, or for, resale, distribution or fractionalization thereof in whole or in part and no other person has a direct or indirect
beneficial interest in such Units or any of the components of the Units. Further, the Purchaser does not have any contract, undertaking,
agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with
respect to any of the Units for which the Purchaser is subscribing.

 

(b)         The Purchaser has
full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, the execution and delivery of this Agreement has been duly authorized, if
applicable, and this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser.

 

(c)         The Purchaser acknowledges
its understanding that the offering and sale of the Shares is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) by virtue of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and the provisions of Regulation
D promulgated thereunder (“Regulation D”). In furtherance thereof, the Purchaser represents and warrants to and agrees
with the Company and its affiliates as follows:

 

(i)         The Purchaser
realizes that the basis for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding such representations, the Purchaser has in mind
merely acquiring Shares for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the market does
not rise. The Purchaser does not have any such intention.

 

    	 	 13	 

     

    

 

(ii)        The Purchaser
has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of his investment, has adequate means for providing for his current needs and
personal contingencies and has no need for liquidity with respect to his investment in the Company;

 

(iii)       __________________________
(insert name of Purchaser Representative: if none, so state) has acted as the Purchaser’s Purchaser Representative
for purposes of the private placement exemption under the Securities Act. If the Purchaser has appointed a Purchaser Representative
(which term is used herein with the same meaning as given in Rule 501(h) of Regulation D), the Purchaser has been advised by his
Purchaser Representative as to the merits and risks of an investment in the Company in general and the suitability of an investment
in the Shares for the Purchaser in particular; and

 

(iv)       The Purchaser
(together with his Purchaser Representative(s), if any) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as
to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Shares. If other than an individual, the
Purchaser also represents it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Shares.

 

(d)         At the time such Purchaser
was offered the Shares, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)
under the Securities Act.

 

(e)         The Purchaser and
his Purchaser Representative, if any, have:

 

(i)         had access
to and carefully reviewed the Company’s SEC Documents and other public filings, the Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement
and has had on opportunity for a reasonable period of time prior to the date hereof to obtain additional information concerning
the offering of the Shares, the Company, and all other information to the extent the Company possesses such information or can
acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense;

 

(iii)         been given
the opportunity for a reasonable period of time prior to the date hereof to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company
or its representatives concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and other matters pertaining to this investment,
and have been given the opportunity for a reasonable period of time prior to the date hereof to obtain such additional information
necessary to verify the accuracy of the information provided in order for him to evaluate the merits and risks of purchase of the
Shares to the extent the Company possesses such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense;

 

(iv)         not been
furnished with any oral representation or oral information in connection with the offering of the Shares which is not contained
herein; and

 

(v)         determined
that the Shares are a suitable investment for the Purchaser and that at this time the Purchaser could bear a complete loss of such
investment.

 

    	 	 14	 

     

    

 

(f)         The Purchaser is not
relying on the Company, or its affiliates with respect to economic considerations involved in this investment. The Purchaser has
relied on the advice of, or has consulted with only those persons, if any, named as Purchaser Representative(s) herein. Each Purchaser
Representative is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares on the terms and conditions set forth
herein and each Purchaser Representative has disclosed to the Purchaser in writing (a copy of which is annexed to this Agreement)
the specific details of any and all past, present or future relationships, actual or contemplated, between himself and the Company
or any affiliate or subsidiary thereof.

 

(g)         The Purchaser represents,
warrants and agrees that he will not sell or otherwise transfer the Shares without registration under the Securities Act or an
exemption therefrom and fully understands and agrees that he must bear the economic risk of his purchase because, among other reasons,
the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be
resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under the
applicable securities laws of such states or an exemption from such registration is available. In particular, the Purchaser is
aware that the Shares are “restricted securities,” as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act (“Rule 144”), and they may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 unless all of the conditions of Rule 144 are
met. The Purchaser also understands that, except as otherwise provided herein and in the certificates for the Shares, the Company
is under no obligation to register the Shares on his behalf or to assist him in complying with any exemption from registration
under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. The Purchaser further understands that sales or transfers of the
Shares are further restricted by state securities laws and the provisions of this Agreement.

 

(h)         No representations
or warranties have been made to the Purchaser by the Company, or any officer, employee, agent, affiliate or subsidiary of the Company,
other than the representations of the Company contained herein, and in subscribing for Shares the Purchaser is not relying upon
any representations other than those contained herein. Purchaser has carefully reviewed filings made by the Company with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

(i)         Any information which
the Purchaser has heretofore furnished to the Company with respect to his financial position and business experience is correct
and complete as of the date of this Agreement and if there should be any material change in such information he will immediately
furnish such revised or corrected information to the Company.

 

(j)         The Purchaser understands
and agrees that the certificates for the Shares shall bear the following legend until (i) such securities shall have been registered
under the Securities Act and effectively been disposed of in accordance with a registration statement that has been declared effective;
or (ii) in the opinion of counsel for the Company such securities may be sold without registration under the Securities Act as
well as any applicable “Blue Sky” or state securities laws. Accordingly the Purchaser understands and consents that
the certificates representing the Shares, in addition to any notation required by law or by this Agreement, shall have the following
legend:

 

    	 	 15	 

     

    

 

“THESE SECURITIES
HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED,
SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, ASSIGNED OR TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (i) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT WHICH
HAS BECOME EFFECTIVE AND IS CURRENT WITH RESPECT TO THESE SECURITIES, OR (ii) PURSUANT TO A SPECIFIC EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT BUT ONLY UPON A HOLDER HEREOF FIRST HAVING OBTAINED THE WRITTEN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE CORPORATION,
OR OTHER COUNSEL REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE CORPORATION, THAT THE PROPOSED DISPOSITION IS CONSISTENT WITH ALL APPLICABLE PROVISIONS
OF THE SECURITIES ACT AS WELL AS ANY APPLICABLE “BLUE SKY” OR SIMILAR SECURITIES LAW.”

 

(k)         The Purchaser understands
that an investment in the Shares is a speculative investment which involves a high degree of risk and the potential loss of his
entire investment.

 

(l)          The Purchaser’s
overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the Purchaser’s net worth,
and an investment in the Shares will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.

 

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

 

(n)         Other
than the transaction contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not directly or indirectly, nor has any person acting on behalf
of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, executed any disposition, including Short Sales (defined below), in
the securities of the Company during the period commencing from the time that such Purchaser first received a term sheet from
the Company or any other person setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder until the date hereof
(“Discussion Time”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment
vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser's assets and the portfolio managers have
no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s
assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager
that made the investment decision to purchase the Units covered by this Agreement. Other than to other persons party to this Agreement,
such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including
the existence and terms of this transaction). For the purpose of this Agreement, “Short Sales” shall include all “short
sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act (but shall not be deemed to include the location
and/or reservation of borrowable shares of Common Stock).

 

(m)         Purchaser hereby acknowledges
that the Company seeks to comply with all applicable laws concerning money laundering and related activities. In furtherance of
those efforts, Purchaser hereby represents, warrants and agrees that, to the best of Purchaser's knowledge based upon appropriate
diligence and investigation:

 

    	 	 16	 

     

    

 

(i)         none
of the cash or property that Purchaser has paid, will pay or will contribute to the Company has been or shall be derived from,
or related to, an activity that is deemed criminal under United States law;

 

(ii)         no contribution or payment
by Purchaser to the Company shall cause the Company to be in violation of the United States Bank Secrecy Act, the United States
Money Laundering Control Act of 1986 or the United States International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing
Act of 2001;

 

(iii)        Purchaser agrees to promptly
notify the Company if any of these representations cease to be true and accurate regarding Purchaser, and to provide to the Company
any additional information regarding Purchaser that the Company deems necessary or appropriate to ensure compliance with all applicable
laws concerning money laundering and similar activities;

 

(iv)        Purchaser agrees that if
at any time the Company determines that any of the foregoing representations are incorrect with respect to Purchaser, or if otherwise
required by applicable law or regulation related to money laundering and similar activities, the Company may undertake whatever
actions it considers appropriate to ensure compliance with applicable law or regulation, including causing the withdrawal of Purchaser
from the Company in accordance with such terms as the Company shall determine in its discretion are required to comply with applicable
laws and regulations; and

 

(v)        Purchaser further agrees that
the Company may release confidential information about such Purchaser to proper authorities if the Company, in its sole discretion,
determines that it is in the best interests of the Company in light of relevant rules and regulations under the laws described
herein.

 

(n)         The foregoing representations,
warranties and agreements shall survive the Closing.

 

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

4.1         Furnishing of
Information. For a period of 2 years from the Closing Date, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect

of any of the Shares under the 1933 Act or cause this offering of the Units to be integrated with prior offerings by 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.
None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, their affiliates and any Person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps referred

Company or any of its subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company and each Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing
any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall
issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect
to any press release of any Purchaser, or without the prior consent of each Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the
Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case
the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing
with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except (a)
as required by federal securities law in connection with the filing of final Transaction Documents (including signature pages thereto)
with the Commission and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company
shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b).

 

    	 	 18	 

     

    

 

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

 

4.5         Non-Public Information.
Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company

with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, and each Purchaser agrees, and shall
direct its agents and counsel not to, request any material non-public information from the Company or any Person acting on its
behalf, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement with the Company regarding the confidentiality
and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant
in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

 

4.6         Use of Proceeds.
The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares hereunder for working capital purposes.

 

4.7         Indemnification
of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.7, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors,
officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a
Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders,
agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles
notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”)
harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments,
amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser
Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against a Purchaser
in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such
Purchaser, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon
a breach of such Purchaser’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or
understandings such Purchaser may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such Purchaser of state or federal securities
laws or any conduct by such Purchaser which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). If any action
shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser
Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel
of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel
in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of
such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing,
(ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action
there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and
the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no
more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement
by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed;
or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s
breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in
the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification required by this Section 4.7 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 are incurred. The indemnity agreements
contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others,
and (y) any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.

 

    	 	 19	 

     

    

 

4.8         Subsequent Equity
Sales. From the date hereof until the 30 month anniversary of the final closing of this Offering (the “Anti-Dilution
Period”), if the Company or any Subsidiary shall issue any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, in transaction other
than in an Exempt Transaction, (a “Subsequent Financing”) entitling any person or entity to acquire shares of Common
Stock at an effective price per share less than the Per Share Purchase Price (subject to prior adjustment for reverse and forward
stock splits and the like) (the “Discounted Purchase Price,” as further defined below), the Company shall issue to
such Purchaser that number of additional Shares equal to (a) the Subscription Amount paid by such Purchaser at the Closing divided
by the Discounted Purchase Price, less (b) the Shares issued to such Purchaser at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement and pursuant
to this Section 4.8. The term “Discounted Purchase Price” shall mean the amount actually paid in new cash consideration
by third parties for each share of Common Stock. The sale of Common Stock Equivalents shall be deemed to have occurred at the time
of the issuance of the Common Stock Equivalents and the Discounted Purchase Price covered thereby shall also include the actual
exercise or conversion price thereof at the time of the conversion or exercise (in addition to the consideration per share of Common
Stock underlying the Common Stock Equivalents received by the Company upon such sale or issuance of the Common Stock Equivalents).
In the case of any Subsequent Financing involving an “MFN Transaction” (as defined below), the Discounted Purchase
Price shall be deemed to be the lowest adjustment price. If shares are issued for a consideration other than cash, the per share
selling price shall be the fair value of such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
The term “MFN Transaction” shall mean a transaction in which the Company issues or sells any securities in a capital
raising transaction or series of related transactions which grants to an investor the right to receive additional shares based
upon future transactions of the Company on terms more favorable than those granted to such investor in such offering. The Company
shall not refuse to issue a Purchaser additional Units hereunder based on any claim that such Purchaser or any one associated or
affiliated with such Purchaser has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction
from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining an issuance hereunder shall have been sought and obtained. Nothing herein
shall limit a Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company's failure to deliver Units hereunder and such Purchaser
shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific
performance and/or injunctive relief. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 4.8 shall not apply in respect
of an Exempt Issuance. Additionally, prior to any issuance to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 4.8, such Purchaser shall have
the right to irrevocably defer such issuances to such Purchaser under this Section 4.8, in whole or in part, for continuous periods
of not less than 75 days. The Purchaser’s rights under this Section 4.8 shall terminate upon the Company completing a Subsequent
Financing at an effective price per share equal to or greater than the Per Share Purchase Price which results in minimum gross
proceeds to the Company of $10 million.

 

    	 	 20	 

     

    

 

4.9         Lockup
of Shares.  For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, during
the period beginning on the final Closing Date of the offering and ending on the fifteen (15) month anniversary thereof (the “Lockup
Period”), each Purchaser will not directly or indirectly, (i) offer, sell, offer to sell, contract to sell, hedge,
pledge, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to
purchase or sell (or announce any offer, sale, offer of sale, contract of sale, hedge, pledge, sale of any option or contract
to purchase, purchase of any option or contract of sale, grant of any option, right or warrant to purchase or other sale or disposition),
or otherwise transfer or dispose of (or enter into any transaction or device that is designed to, or could be expected to, result
in the disposition by any person at any time in the future), any portion of the Shares, beneficially owned, within the meaning
of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, by such Purchaser or (ii) enter into any swap or other agreement or any transaction
that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of any portion of the Shares,
whether or not any such swap or transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of any
Shares

 

4.10       Equal Treatment
of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) 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 Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to
treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect
to the purchase, disposition or voting of Shares or otherwise.

 

4.11       Certain
Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither
it nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including
Short Sales of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending
at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release
as described in Section 4.3.  Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other
Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company
pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.3, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence
and terms of this transaction and the information included in the Disclosure Schedules.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges and
agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions
in any securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced
pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.3, (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from effecting
any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from and after the time that the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in
Section 4.3 and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality to the Company or its Subsidiaries after the issuance
of the initial press release as described in Section 4.3.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser
that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s
assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing
other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of
assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Shares covered by this Agreement.

MISCELLANEOUS

 

5.1         Termination. 
This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder only and without any effect
whatsoever on the obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other parties, if the Closing
has not been consummated on or before February 28, 2017 (the “Termination Date”); provided, however,
that no such termination will affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by the other party (or parties).

 

5.2         Fees and Expenses.
Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers,

and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Shares to the Purchasers.

 

5.3         Entire Agreement.
The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such
matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.

 

5.4         Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and

5.5         Amendments; Waivers.
No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case
of an amendment, by the Company and the Purchasers holding at least 67% in interest of the Units based on the initial Subscription
Amounts hereunder or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought. No
waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing
waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof,
nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

 

5.6         Headings.
The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect
any of the provisions hereof.

 

5.7         Successors and
Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.
The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Purchaser
(other than by merger). Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Purchaser
assigns or transfers any Shares, provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Shares,
by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchasers.”

 

5.8         No Third-Party
Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted
assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth
in Section 4.7.

 

5.9         Governing Law.
All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed
by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of
conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto
or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state
and federal courts sitting in the City 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 (including with respect to the enforcement
of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding,
any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper
or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents
to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight
delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that
such service shall constitute good 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 other manner permitted by law. If either party shall commence an action or
proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then, in addition to the obligations of the Company under Section
4.7, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys’
fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

 

    	 	 23	 

     

    

 

5.10         Survival.
The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Units.

 

5.11         Execution.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together 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, it being
understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission
or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the
party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf”
signature page were an original thereof.

 

5.12         Severability.
If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal,
void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full
force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated
by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that
they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be
hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

 

5.13         Rescission and
Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any
of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser 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 Purchaser may rescind
or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election
in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

 

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

 

    	 	 24	 

     

    

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

    	 	 25	 

     

    

 

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

 

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