within the meaning of the Securities Act. Company shall not file a Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments

Trading Day following the date on which the Holder receives draft materials in accordance with this Section.

 

    	3

    	 	

    
 

 

(b)           
(i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to the Registration Statement
and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective as
to the applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such additional
Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) cause
the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement),
and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments
received from the Commission with respect to the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and as promptly as reasonably
possible provide the Holder true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to the Registration
Statement (provided that Company may excise any information contained therein which would constitute material non-public information
as to Holder); and (iv) comply in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act
with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement during the applicable period
in accordance (subject to the terms of this Agreement) with the intended methods of disposition by the Holder set forth in such
Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.

 

(c)            
If during the Effectiveness Period, the number of Registrable Securities at any time exceeds 100% of the number of shares
of Common Stock then registered in a Registration Statement, then Company shall file as soon as reasonably practicable, an additional
Registration Statement covering the resale by the Holder of not less than 100% of the number of such Registrable Securities.

 

(d)           
Notify the Holder of Registrable Securities to be sold (which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vi) hereof,
be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as promptly as
reasonably possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than 1 Trading Day prior to such filing) and (if requested by any
such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one Trading Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed; (B) when the Commission notifies Company
whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on
such Registration Statement; and (C) with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has
become effective; (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or
supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the Commission or
any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering
any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) of the receipt by Company
of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable
Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; (v) of the occurrence
of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion
therein or any statement made in a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated
therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to a Registration Statement, Prospectus or other
documents so that, in the case of a Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (vi) the occurrence or existence of any
pending corporate development with respect to Company that Company believes may be material and that, in the determination of Company,
makes it not in the best interest of Company to allow continued availability of a Registration Statement or Prospectus; provided
that any and all of such information shall remain confidential to Holder until such information otherwise becomes public, unless
disclosure by Holder is required by law; provided, further, notwithstanding Holder’s agreement to keep such
information confidential, the Holder makes no acknowledgement that any such information is material, non-public information.

 

    	4

    	 	

    
 

(e)            
Use its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order
stopping or suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption
from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.

 

(f)             
Furnish to Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each such Registration Statement and each amendment thereto,
including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference to the
extent requested by such Person, and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished
or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission; provided that any such item which
is available on the EDGAR system (or successor thereto) need not be furnished in physical form.

 

(g)            
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement
thereto by the Holder in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any
amendment or supplement thereto, except after the giving of any notice pursuant to Section 3(d).

 

(h)           
Company shall cooperate with any broker-dealer through which a Holder proposes to resell its Registrable Securities in effecting
a filing with the FINRA Corporate Financing Department pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110, as requested by the Holder, and Company shall
pay the filing fee required by such filing within two (2) Business Days of request therefor.

 

(i)             
Prior to any resale of Registrable Securities by Holder, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify
or cooperate with the Holder in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from the Registration or qualification)
of such Registrable Securities for the resale by the Holder under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within
the United States as Holder reasonably requests in writing, to keep each registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom)
effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition
in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement; provided that Company shall not be required
to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, subject Company to any material tax
in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.

 

    	5

    	 	

    
 

(j)             
If requested by the Holder, cooperate with the Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates
representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to the Registration Statement, which certificates
shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities
to be in such denominations and registered in such names as Holder may request.

 

(k)            
Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by this Section 3, as promptly as reasonably possible under the circumstances
taking into account Company’s good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to Company and its stockholders of the premature
disclosure of such event, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to the Registration Statement
or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file
any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither the Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain
an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If Company notifies the Holder in
accordance with clauses (iii) through (vi) of Section 3(d) above to suspend the use of any Prospectus until the requisite changes
to such Prospectus have been made, then the Holder shall suspend use of such Prospectus. Company will use its best efforts to ensure
that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is reasonably practicable.

 

(l)             
Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission.

 

(m)          
Company may require the Holder to furnish to Company a certified statement as to the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially
owned by the Holder and, if required by the Commission, the natural persons thereof that have voting and dispositive control over
the Shares.

 

4.               
Registration Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by
Company shall be borne by Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to the Registration Statement. The
fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees

to by Company in writing (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel for Company in connection with Blue

Issuer Filing, with respect to any filing that may be required to be made by any broker through which a Holder intends to make

brokerage commission in connection with such sale, (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing
certificates for Registrable Securities), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel
for Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if Company so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other

5.               
Indemnification

 

(a)            
Indemnification by Company. Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold
harmless Holder, the officers, directors, members, partners, agents, brokers (including brokers who offer and sell Registrable
Securities as principal as a result of a pledge or any failure to perform under a margin call of Common Stock), investment advisors
and 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 Holder, each Person who controls Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, members, stockholders, partners, agents and 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 each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively,
“Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to (1) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in a Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto
or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement
thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or (2) any violation or alleged violation by
Company of the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with
the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements
or omissions are based solely upon information regarding Holder furnished in writing to Company by Holder expressly for use therein,
or to the extent that such information relates to Holder or Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities
and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement, such Prospectus or
such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto
for this purpose) or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(d)(iii)-(vi), the use by
Holder of an outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable Prospectus after Company has notified Holder in writing that the Prospectus
is outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable for use by the Holder and prior to the receipt by Holder of the Advice contemplated
in Section 6(d). Company shall notify the Holder promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding arising from
or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of which Company is aware.

 

    	7

    	 	

    
 

 

(b)           
Indemnification by Holder. In no event shall the liability of Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar
amount of the net proceeds received by Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

(c)            
Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled
to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from
whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right
to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment
of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give
such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and
only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject
to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

 

An Indemnified
Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the
fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party
has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense
of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named
parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party,
and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall reasonably believe that a material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same
counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies
the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying
Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one separate
counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any
such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Indemnifying
Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect
of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from
all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

 

Subject to
the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses
to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with
this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying
Party; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees
and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is judicially determined not to be entitled to indemnification
hereunder.

 

    	8

    	 	

    
 

(d)           
Contribution. If the indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient
to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by such Indemnified Party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified
Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among
other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or
alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party
or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include,
subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’ or other fees or expenses incurred by such
party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification
provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

 

The parties
hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the
immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), the Holder shall not be required to contribute
pursuant to this Section 5(d), in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received
by Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that Holder has
otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, except in
the case of fraud by Holder.

 

The indemnity
and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to
the Indemnified Parties.

 

6.               
Miscellaneous

 

(a)            
Remedies. In the event of a breach by Company or by the Holder, of any of their respective obligations under this
Agreement, Holder or Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under
this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. Company
and Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by
it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance
in respect of such breach, it shall not assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

(b)           
No Piggyback on Registrations. Except for the entities listed on Schedule 6(b) neither Company nor any of its security
holders (other than the Holder in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of Company in the Registration Statement
other than the Registrable Securities. Company shall not file any other registration statement, or issue any shares pursuant to
any other registration statement, until at least 90 days after the date the Registration Statement is declared effective.

 

    	9

    	 	

    
 

(c)            
Compliance. Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities
Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.

 

(d)           
Discontinued Disposition. Holder agrees by its acquisition of Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice
from Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(d), Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition
of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”)
by Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed. Company will
use its best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as it is reasonably practicable.

 

(e)            
Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended,
modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall
be in writing and signed by Company and the Holder.

Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors.
Neither party may assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder (other than by merger).

 

(h)           
No Inconsistent Agreements. Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities,
that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holder in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions
hereof. Except as set forth on Schedule 6(h), neither Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has previously entered into any
agreement granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person that have not been satisfied in
full.

 

(i)             
Execution and Counterparts. 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.

 

(j)             
Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement
shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

ANNEX A

Plan of Distribution

The Selling Stockholder
(the “Selling Stockholder”) of the common stock and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest
may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board or any other stock exchange,
market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated
prices. The Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 

		·	ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer
solicits purchasers;
	 	 	 

		·	block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares
as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
	 	 	 

		·	purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer
for its account;
	 	 	 

		·	an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable
exchange;
	 	 	 

		·	privately negotiated transactions;
	 	 	 

		·	settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of
the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;
	 	 	 

		·	broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholder to sell a specified
number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
	 	 	 

		·	through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions,
whether through an options exchange or otherwise; 
	 	 	 

		·	a combination of any such methods of sale; or
	 	 	 

		·	any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

Broker-dealers engaged
by the Selling Stockholder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions
or discounts from the Selling Stockholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for Purchaser of shares, from Purchaser) in amounts
to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess
of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or
markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

 

    	12

    	 	

    
 

 

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

 

The Selling Stockholder
may be deemed an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling
the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales.
In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by
them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholder has informed Company
that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the
Common Stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed five
percent (5%).

 

Company is required
to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by Company incident to the registration of the shares. Company has agreed to indemnify
the Selling Stockholder against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

Because the Selling
Stockholder may be deemed an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, it will be subject to the prospectus
delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus
which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus.
There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the Selling
Stockholder.

 

We agreed to keep this
prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the Selling Stockholder without registration
and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for Company to be
in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or
(ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar
effect. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state
securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified
for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied
with.

 

Under applicable rules
and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage
in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M,
prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholder will be subject to applicable provisions of
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and
sales of shares of the common stock by the Selling Stockholder or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available
to the Selling Stockholder and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior
to the time of the sale.
