individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(o)
Intellectual Property. To the knowledge of the Company, the Company and the Subsidiaries have, or have rights to use, all
patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights,
licenses and other intellectual property rights and similar rights necessary or required for use in connection with their respective
businesses and which the failure to so have could have a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual Property
Rights”). All Intellectual Property Rights are set forth in the SEC Reports. None of, and neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary has received a written notice that any of, the Intellectual Property Rights has expired, terminated or been abandoned,
or is expected to expire or terminate or be abandoned, within two (2) years from the date of this Agreement. Neither the Company
nor any Subsidiary has received, since the date of the latest audited financial statements included within the SEC Reports, a
written notice of a claim or otherwise has any knowledge that the Intellectual Property Rights violate or infringe upon the rights
of any Person, except as could not have or reasonably be expected to not have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the
Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another Person of any
of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy,
confidentiality and value of all of their intellectual properties, except where failure to do so could not, individually or in
the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(p)
Insurance. The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such
losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries
are engaged, including, but not limited to, directors and officers insurance coverage at least equal to the aggregate Subscription
Amount. Neither the Company nor any 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 without a significant increase in cost that would have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(q)
Transactions with Affiliates and Employees. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, none of the officers or directors of
the Company or any Subsidiary and, to the knowledge of the Company, none of the employees of the Company or any Subsidiary is
presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any Subsidiary (other than for services as employees, officers and directors),
including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental
of real or personal property to or from, providing for the borrowing of money from or lending of money to or otherwise requiring
payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any entity in which any officer,
director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee, stockholder, member or partner,
in each case in excess of $120,000 other than for: (i) payment of salary or consulting fees for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement
for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company and (iii) other employee benefits, including stock option or other equity award
agreements under any equity incentive plan of the Company.

 

(r)
Sarbanes-Oxley; Internal Accounting Controls. The Company is in compliance in all material respects with any and all applicable
requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that are effective as of the date hereof, and any and all applicable rules and
regulations promulgated by the Commission thereunder that are effective and applicable to the Company as of the date hereof and
as of the Closing Date. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, the Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls
sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or
specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity
with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s
general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable
intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The Company has established disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and
procedures to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or
submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s
rules and forms. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures
of the Company as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date,
the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange
Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their
evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the internal control over financial
reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) of the Company that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely
to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting of the Company.

agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The
Purchasers shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons
for fees of a type contemplated in this Section that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents.

Investment Company. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Securities,
will not be or be an Affiliate of, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,

taken no action designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common
Stock under the Exchange Act nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission is contemplating terminating such
registration. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, the Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received
notice from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not
in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, the
Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all such
listing and maintenance requirements. The Common Stock is currently eligible for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust
Company or another established clearing corporation and the Company is current in payment of the fees to the Depository Trust
Company (or such other established clearing corporation) in connection with such electronic transfer.

 

(w)
Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and the Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in
order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under
a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s certificate of incorporation (or similar
charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result
of the Purchasers and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including
without limitation as a result of the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the Purchasers’ ownership of the Securities.

 

(x)
Disclosure. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents, the Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers or
their agents or counsel with any information that it believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information
which is not otherwise disclosed in the Prospectus Supplement. The Company understands and confirms that the Purchasers will rely
on the foregoing representation in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All of the disclosure furnished by or
on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries, their respective businesses and the transactions
contemplated hereby, including any Disclosure Schedules to this Agreement, is true and correct in all material respects and does
not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements
made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The press releases disseminated by the
Company during the twelve months preceding the date of this Agreement taken as a whole, and in light of disclosures in the SEC
Reports, 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.

(y)
No Aggregated 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 Securities to be aggregated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of any applicable stockholder approval
provisions of any Trading Market on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.

 

(z)
Solvency. Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the
receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder: (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s
assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities
(including known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small
capital to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account
the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements
and capital availability thereof, and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would
receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient
to pay all amounts on or in respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend
to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable
on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will
file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the
Closing Date. All outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or
any Subsidiary has commitments is set forth in the SEC Reports. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness”
means (x) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $50,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred
in the ordinary course of business), (y) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of indebtedness
of others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet (or the notes
thereto), except guaranties by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the
ordinary course of business; and (z) the present value of any lease payments in excess of $50,000 due under leases required to
be capitalized in accordance with GAAP. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.

 

(aa)
Tax Status. Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect, the Company and its Subsidiaries each (i) has made or filed all United States federal, state and
local income and all foreign income and franchise tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which
it is subject, (ii) has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, 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.

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 any Subsidiary (or made

respect any provision of FCPA.

Acknowledgment Regarding Purchasers’ Purchase of Securities. 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 Securities.
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.

 

(ee)
Acknowledgment Regarding Purchaser’s Trading Activity. Anything in this Agreement or elsewhere herein to the contrary
notwithstanding (except for Sections 3.2(f) and 4.13 hereof), it is understood and acknowledged by the Company that: (i) none
of the Purchasers has 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 Securities 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, may presently 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, subject to the other terms hereof, (y) one or more Purchasers may engage
in hedging activities at various times during the period that the Securities 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.

Regulation M Compliance. The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting on its behalf has, (i) taken, directly

in accordance with the terms of the Company’s stock option plan and (ii) with an exercise price at least equal to the fair
market value of the Common Stock on the date such stock option would be considered granted under GAAP and applicable law. No stock
option granted under the Company’s stock option plan has been backdated. The Company has not knowingly granted, and there
is no and has been no Company policy or practice to knowingly grant, stock options prior to, or otherwise knowingly coordinate

Subsidiaries or their financial results or prospects.

Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”) and to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (the “Federal Reserve”). Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates owns or controls,
directly or indirectly, five percent (5%) or more of the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities or twenty-five percent

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)
Organization; Authority. Such Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership,
limited liability company or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction
Documents and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized
by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of such Purchaser.
Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser
in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against
it in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii)
as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii)
insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law. Such Purchaser’s execution, delivery
and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby to which it is a party do not and will not: (x) conflict with or violate any provision of such Purchaser’s
certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents or (y) conflict with or result in
a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or government
authority to which the Purchaser is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any property
or asset of the Purchaser is bound or affected.

 

    	 	14	 

     

    

 

(b)
Understandings or Arrangements. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and has no
direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities
(this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities in compliance with applicable
federal and state securities laws).

 

(c)
Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on
each date on which it converts any Shares it will be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2),
(a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act.

 

(d)
Experience of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication
and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment
in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk
of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment. Such Purchaser
understands that nothing in the Transaction Documents or any other materials presented to such Purchaser in connection with the
purchase and sale of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice.

 

(e)
Access to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents
(including all exhibits and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded, (i) the opportunity to ask such questions
as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions
of the offering of the Shares and the merits and risks of investing in the Shares; (ii) access to information about the Company
and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to
evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire
without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment.

 

(f)
Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions 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 purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that
such Purchaser first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting
forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. 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 Securities 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).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty,
or preclude any actions, with respect to the identification of the availability of, or securing of, available shares to borrow
in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.

 

    	 	15	 

     

    

 

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

 

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.

its obligations under the Transaction Documents are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim,
delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against any Purchaser and
regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.

 

4.3

to maintain the registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to timely file (or obtain

foregoing covenant by the Company or any person acting on its behalf (as determined in the reasonable good faith judgment of the
Purchasers), in addition to any other remedy provided herein or in the other Transaction Documents, if any Purchaser is holding
any securities of the Company at the time of the disclosure of material, non-public information, any Purchaser shall have the
right to make a public disclosure, in the form of a press release, public advertisement or otherwise, of such material, non-public
information without the prior approval by the Company; provided the Purchaser shall have first provided notice to the Company
that it believes it has received information that constitutes material, non-public information, the Company shall have 48 hours
publicly to disclose such material, non-public information prior to any such disclosure by the Purchaser or demonstrate to the
Purchasers in writing why such information does not constitute material, non-public information, and (assuming the Purchasers
and Purchasers’ counsel disagree with the Company’s determination) the Company shall have failed to publicly disclose
such material, non-public information within such time period. The Purchasers shall not have any liability to the Company, any
of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, stockholders or agents, for any such disclosure.
The Company understands and confirms that the Purchasers shall be relying on the foregoing covenants and obligations in effecting
transactions in securities of the Company.

 

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

Transaction Documents, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf, will provide
any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information,
unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have entered into 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.

 

4.9
Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for working capital purposes
or for such other purposes as the Company deems necessary.

 

4.10
Indemnification of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Company will indemnify and hold each
Purchaser and its directors, officers, stockholders, 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, stockholders, 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 Purchaser Parties 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 Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants
under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such stockholder or
any violations by such Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party 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 4.10 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 any liabilities
the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.

4.11
Listing of Securities. The Company shall, if applicable: (i) in the time and manner required by the principal Trading Market,
prepare and file with such Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering the Shares, (ii) take all steps necessary
to cause such shares of Common Stock to be approved for listing or quotation on such Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter,
(iii) provide to the Purchasers evidence of such listing or quotation and (iv) maintain the listing or quotation of such Common
Stock on such Trading Market or another Trading Market. The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock for
electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation,
by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such
electronic transfer.

 

4.12
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 this Agreement unless the same consideration
is also offered to all of the parties to this Agreement. 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 Securities or otherwise.

 

4.13
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 Current Report as described in Section 4.6. 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
Current Report as described in Section 4.6, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this
transaction and the information included in the Transaction Documents. 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 Current Report as described in Section
4.6, (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 Current Report as described in Section 4.6 and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality
to the Company or its Subsidiaries after the filing of the Current Report as described in Section 4.6. 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 Securities covered
by this Agreement.

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 December 15, 2017; provided, however, that such termination
will not affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by any other party (or parties).

 

5.2
Fees and Expenses. Each party hereto shall be responsible for its own legal 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, counsel, accountants

Transfer Agent fees (including, without limitation, any fees required for same-day processing of any instruction letter delivered

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

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 Purchasers which purchased at least a majority in interest
of the Shares 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, provided that if any amendment, modification or waiver disproportionately and adversely
impacts a Purchaser (or group of Purchasers), the consent of such disproportionately impacted Purchaser (or group of Purchasers)
shall also be required. 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. Any proposed amendment or waiver that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the rights and obligations
of any Purchaser relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Purchasers shall require the prior written consent
of such adversely affected Purchaser. Any amendment effected in accordance with accordance with this Section 5.5 shall be binding
upon each Purchaser and holder of Securities and the Company.

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

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

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, stockholders, partners, members, 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 action, suit 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

5.11
Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered

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

 

    	 	21	 

     

    

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

    	 	22	 

     

    

 

5.18
Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction
Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way
for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained
herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed
to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption
that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without
limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary
for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented
by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide
all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required
or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. 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.

 

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

 

5.20
Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right
required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next
succeeding Business Day.

 

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

 

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

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
(Under the Connecticut Water Service, Inc.
2014 Performance Stock Program)

THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into as of the ___ day of ____________, 20__ (the “Grant Date”) by and between CONNECTICUT WATER SERVICE, INC., a Connecticut corporation (the “Company”), and _________________, (the “Participant”).

W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS, the Company’s Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) has determined that the Participant is an eligible Employee under the Company's 2014 Performance Stock Program (the “Plan”); and

WHEREAS, the Company intends to grant a restricted stock unit award (the “Award”) to the Participant pursuant to Section 11 of the Plan and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties agree as follows:

1.Capitalized Terms.  All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.

2.Restricted Stock Unit Award.

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Participant a Restricted Stock Unit Award (“RSUs”) which shall entitle the Participant the opportunity to earn a cash payment equal to the Fair Market Value of [NUMBER] (###) shares of the common stock of the Company, without par value (the “Common Stock”) in accordance with the vesting schedule established by the Committee, as set forth in Section 3 to this Agreement.  This Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered or disposed of in any way until paid to the Participant.  The RSUs shall be subject to forfeiture as described in Section 4 of this Agreement. This Award is made in consideration of the services to be rendered by the Participant to the Company.

(b)    In order to be eligible for this Award, the Participant must execute and deliver a copy of this Agreement to the Company at the Company's offices within ten (10) business days of the date on which the Participant has received this Agreement.  The Participant shall not be entitled to any Award under this Agreement except in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in Section 3.  If the Participant shall fail to execute this Agreement within ten (10) days after receipt thereof from the Company, the Award made hereunder shall be null and void.

(c)    The Participant shall not have any of the rights and privileges of a stockholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs (including, without limitation, the right to vote such shares or any rights to dividends). 

(d)    Notwithstanding the acceptance this Agreement by the Company and the Participant, as evidenced by their execution and attachment hereto of a copy thereof, the vesting schedule applicable to the Award may be adjusted as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate in the manner permitted by and subject to the Plan.

3.Vesting; Acceleration.  

(a)    At each Vesting Date set forth in below, and provided the Participant remains actively employed by the Company through each such Vesting Date, the Committee shall calculate the number of RSUs vested and payable hereunder.

(b)    Notwithstanding Section 3(a) hereof, the following events shall be deemed a “Vesting Date” and the Award shall vest in full upon: (i) the Participant’s death while employed by the Company or a Subsidiary, or (ii) the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company or a Subsidiary by reason of Disability.

2

4.Forfeiture.  If the Participant’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated for any reason at any time prior to a Vesting Date listed in Section 3, the Participant shall forfeit all RSUs that then remain unvested under this Agreement.
    
5.Payment of Vested RSUs.  Vested RSUs will be paid within 30 days following the applicable Vesting Date, and in all events no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the year in which such Vesting Date occurs.  Payment shall be equal to the number of vested RSUs multiplied by the Fair Market Value required by Section 16 of the Plan of a share of Common Stock on each such Vesting Date, less all applicable taxes and withholding.  Payment shall be made in cash only; the Award may not be settled in shares of Company stock.  

6.No Employment or Other Contractual Rights.  Except as otherwise provided in the vesting provisions of Section 3(b) and Section 4 of this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement shall: (a) confer or be deemed to confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary or shall in any way affect the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to dismiss or otherwise terminate the Participant’s employment at any time for any reason with or without cause, (b) be construed to impose upon the Company or any Subsidiary any liability for any forfeiture of the RSUs which may result under this Agreement if the Participant’s employment is so terminated, or (c) affect the Company’s right to terminate or modify any contractual relationship with the Participant.

7.Changes in Capitalization.  This Agreement and the issuance of the RSUs shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company's capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceedings, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

8.No Liability for Business Acts or Omissions.  The Participant recognizes and agrees that the Board or the officers, agents or employees of the Company in their conduct of the business and affairs of the Company, may cause the Company to act, or to omit to act, in a manner that may, directly or indirectly, affect the amount of or the ability of the Participant to earn the Award under this Agreement.  No provision of this 

3

Agreement shall be interpreted or construed to impose any liability upon the Company, the Board or any officer, agent or employee of the Company for any effect on the Participant’s entitlement under the Award that may result, directly or indirectly, from any such action or omission.

9.Governing Law; Interpretation.  The terms of this Agreement shall be governed by Connecticut law, without regard to its choice of law provisions.  This Agreement shall at all times be interpreted, administered and applied in a manner consistent with the provisions of the Plan.  If any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement conflict with any terms or provisions of the Plan, then such terms or provisions shall be deemed inoperative to the extent they so conflict with the requirements of the Plan.

10.Amendment; Modification; Waiver.  No provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived unless such amendment, modification or waiver shall be authorized by the Committee and shall be agreed to in writing by the Participant.

11.Code Section 409A. It is intended that payments under this Agreement are exempt from Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and applicable regulations and guidance (collectively, “Section 409A”) under the “short term deferral” exemption of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(4), and this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered in accordance with such intent.  However, the Company does not warrant that all payments paid or delivered under this Agreement will be exempt from, or paid in compliance with, Section 409A.  The Participant understands and, for the Participant’s self and beneficiaries agrees, that the Participant bears the entire risk of any adverse federal, state or local tax consequences and penalty taxes which may result from payments under this Agreement on a basis contrary to Section 409A or comparable provisions of any applicable state or local income tax laws. For purposes of Section 409A, (a) the Participant’s termination of employment or words of similar import shall mean the Participant’s “separation from service” under Section 409A; and (b) each payment made under this Agreement shall be a “separate payment.”
