(a) Commencement
of Regular Sales of Common Stock. Upon the satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in Sections 7 and 8
hereof (the “Commencement” and the date of satisfaction of such conditions the “Commencement Date”)
and thereafter, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to direct the Investor, by its delivery to the Investor
of a Regular Purchase Notice from time to time, to purchase up to Sixty-Five Thousand (65,000) Purchase Shares (each such purchase
a “Regular Purchase”), at the Purchase Price on the Purchase Date; provided, however, that (i)

sentence, such Regular Purchase Notice shall be void ab initio to the extent of the amount by which the number of Purchase
Shares set forth in such Regular Purchase Notice exceeds the number of Purchase Shares which the Company is permitted to include
in such Purchase Notice in accordance herewith, and the Investor shall have no obligation to purchase such excess Purchase Shares
in respect of such Regular Purchase Notice; provided that the Investor shall remain obligated to purchase the number of Purchase
Shares which the Company is permitted to include in such Regular Purchase Notice. The Company may deliver multiple Regular Purchase
Notices to the Investor so long as at least five (5) Business Days have passed since the most recent Regular Purchase was completed.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not deliver any Regular Purchase Notices during the PEA Period.
(b) Accelerated
Purchases. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in addition to purchases of Purchase Shares as described
in Section 2(a) above, the Company shall also have the right, but not the obligation, to direct the Investor by the Company’s
delivery to the Investor of an Accelerated Purchase Notice from time to time, and the Investor thereupon shall have the obligation,
to buy Purchase Shares at the Accelerated Purchase Price on the Accelerated Purchase Date in an amount equal to the Accelerated
Purchase Share Amount (each such purchase, an “Accelerated Purchase”). The Company may deliver an Accelerated
Purchase Notice to the Investor only (i) on any of the Business Days from and after the first (1st) Business Day immediately
following a Purchase Date with respect to a Regular Purchase and ending on the third (3rd) Business Day immediately
following such Purchase Date with respect to such Regular Purchase (such three Business Day period, the “Applicable Accelerated

foregoing, the Company shall not deliver any Accelerated Purchase Notices during the PEA Period. If the Company delivers any Accelerated
Purchase Notice for an Accelerated Purchase Share Amount in excess of the limitations contained in the definition of Accelerated
Purchase Share Amount, such Accelerated Purchase Notice shall be void ab initio to the extent of the amount by which the
number of Purchase Shares set forth in such Accelerated Purchase Notice exceeds the Accelerated Purchase Share Amount which the
Company is permitted to include in such Accelerated Purchase Notice in accordance herewith (which shall be confirmed in an Accelerated
Purchase Confirmation (defined below)), and the Investor shall have no obligation to purchase such excess Purchase Shares in respect
of such Accelerated Purchase Notice; provided that the Investor shall remain obligated to purchase the Accelerated Purchase Share
Amount which the Company is permitted to include in such Accelerated Purchase Notice. Upon completion of each Accelerated Purchase
Date, the Accelerated Purchase Share Amount and the applicable Accelerated Purchase Price shall be set forth on a confirmation
of the Accelerated Purchase to be provided to the Company by the Investor (an “Accelerated Purchase Confirmation”).
(c)
Payment for Purchase Shares. For each Regular Purchase, the Investor shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the Purchase
Amount with respect to such Regular Purchase as full payment for such Purchase Shares via wire transfer of immediately available
funds on the same Business Day that the Investor receives such Purchase Shares, if such Purchase Shares are received by the Investor
before 1:00 p.m., Eastern time, or, if such Purchase Shares are received by the Investor after 1:00 p.m., Eastern time, the next
Business Day. For each Accelerated Purchase, the Investor shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the Purchase Amount with
respect to such Accelerated Purchase as full payment for such Purchase Shares via wire transfer of immediately available funds
on the third Business Day following the date that the Investor receives such Purchase Shares. If the Company or the Transfer Agent
shall fail for any reason or for no reason to electronically transfer any Purchase Shares as DWAC Shares in respect of a Regular
Purchase or Accelerated Purchase (as applicable) within three (3) Business Days following the receipt by the Company of the Purchase
Price or Accelerated Purchase Price, respectively, therefor in compliance with this Section 2(c), and if on or after such
Business Day the Investor purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction
of a sale by the Investor of such Purchase Shares that the Investor anticipated receiving from the Company in respect of such Regular
Purchase or Accelerated Purchase (as applicable), then the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Investor’s
request, either (i) pay cash to the Investor in an amount equal to the Investor’s total purchase price (including brokerage
commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Cover Price”), at which point the Company’s
obligation to deliver such Purchase Shares as DWAC Shares shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to
the Investor such Purchase Shares as DWAC Shares and pay cash to the Investor in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the
Cover Price over the total Purchase Price for such Regular Purchase plus the total Accelerated Purchase Price for such Accelerated
Purchase (as applicable). The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any Regular Purchase or Accelerated
Purchase. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction
of a share of Common Stock up or down to the nearest whole share. All payments made under this Agreement shall be made in lawful
money of the United States of America or wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as the Company may from time
to time designate by written notice in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Whenever any amount expressed to be due
by the terms of this Agreement is due on any day that is not a Business Day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding
day that is a Business Day.
(d) Purchase
Price Floor. The Company may not deliver a Regular Purchase Notice to the Investor, and the Investor and the Company shall
not affect any Regular Purchase under this Agreement, on any Purchase Date that the Closing Sale Price is less than the Floor Price.
“Floor Price” means $0.40, which shall be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash
dividend, stock split or other similar transaction and, effective upon the consummation of any such reorganization, recapitalization,
non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction, the Floor Price shall mean the lower of (i) the adjusted price
and (ii) $0.40.
(e) Beneficial
Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not issue
or sell, and the Investor shall not purchase or acquire, any shares of Common Stock under this Agreement which, when
aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Investor and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant
to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder), would result in the beneficial ownership by the Investor
and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Beneficial
Ownership Limitation”). Upon the written or oral request of the Investor, the Company shall promptly (but not later than
24 hours) confirm orally or in writing to the Investor the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. The Investor and
the Company shall each cooperate in good faith in the determinations required hereby and the application hereof. The Investor’s
written certification to the Company of the applicability of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the resulting effect thereof
hereunder at any time, shall be conclusive with respect to the applicability thereof and such result absent manifest error.

or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation,
order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations applicable to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries) or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected, except in the case
of conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations and violations under clause (ii), which could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries is in violation of any
term of or in default under its Certificate of Incorporation, any Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of any outstanding

nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any term of or is in default under any material contract, agreement, mortgage, indebtedness,
indenture, instrument, judgment, decree or order or any statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or its Subsidiaries,

Effect. The business of the Company and its Subsidiaries is not being conducted, and shall not be conducted, in violation of any
law, ordinance, regulation of any governmental entity, except for possible violations, the sanctions for which either individually
or in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as specifically contemplated by
this Agreement and as required under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws, the Company is not required to obtain
any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency or any regulatory
or self-regulatory agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under or contemplated by the Transaction
Documents in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof. Except as set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, all consents, authorizations,
orders, filings and registrations which the Company is required to obtain pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be obtained
or effected on or prior to the Commencement Date. Since one year prior to the date hereof, the Company has not received nor delivered
any notices or correspondence from or to the Principal Market. The Principal Market has not commenced any delisting proceedings
against the Company.
(f) SEC
Documents; Financial Statements. The Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required
to be filed by the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof,
for the twelve months preceding the date hereof (or such shorter period as the Company was required by law or regulation to file
such material) (the foregoing materials, including the exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, being
collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Documents”) on a timely basis or has received a valid extension
of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Documents prior to the expiration of any such extension. As of their
respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act, as applicable. None of the SEC Documents, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents comply in all
material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect
at the time of filing. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted
accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (“GAAP”), except as may be otherwise
specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto and except that unaudited financial statements may not contain all
footnotes required by GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company and its consolidated
Subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject,
in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial, year-end audit adjustments. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents,
the Company has received no notices or correspondence from the SEC for the one year preceding the date hereof. The SEC has not
commenced any enforcement proceedings against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(g) Absence
of Certain Changes. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, since June 30, 2017, there has been no material adverse change
in the business, properties, operations, financial condition or results of operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries. The Company
has not taken any steps, and does not currently expect to take any steps, to seek protection pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law nor
does the Company or any of its Subsidiaries have any knowledge or reason to believe that its creditors intend to initiate involuntary
bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings. The Company is financially solvent and is generally able to pay its debts as they become
due.
(h) Absence
of Litigation. Other than as set forth in the SEC Documents, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation
before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company, the Common Stock or any of the Company’s or its
Subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
(i) Acknowledgment
Regarding Investor’s Status. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Investor is acting solely in the capacity of arm’s
length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The Company further
acknowledges that the Investor is not 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 hereby and thereby and any advice given by the Investor
or any of its representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby is merely incidental to the Investor’s purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to the Investor that
the Company’s decision to enter into the Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation by the Company
and its representatives and advisors.
(j) No
General Solicitation; No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any Person acting on its
or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D under
the Securities Act) in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities. Neither the Company, nor or any of its affiliates,
nor any Person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers
to buy any security, under circumstances that would require registration of the offer and sale of any of the Securities under the
Securities Act, whether through integration with prior offerings or otherwise, or cause this offering of the Securities to be integrated
with prior offerings by the Company in a manner that would require stockholder approval pursuant to the rules of the Principal
Market on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated. The issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder
does not contravene the rules and regulations of the Principal Market.
(k) Intellectual
Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess adequate rights or licenses to use all material trademarks,
trade names, service marks, service xxxx registrations, service names, patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions, licenses,
approvals, governmental authorizations, trade secrets and rights necessary to conduct their respective businesses as now conducted.
None of the Company’s material trademarks, trade names, service marks, service xxxx registrations, service names, patents, patent
rights, copyrights, inventions, licenses, approvals, government authorizations, trade secrets or other intellectual property rights
have expired or terminated, or, by the terms and conditions thereof, could expire or terminate within two years from the date of
this Agreement. The Company and its Subsidiaries do not have any knowledge of any infringement by the Company or its Subsidiaries
of any material trademark, trade name rights, patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions, licenses, service names, service
marks, service xxxx registrations, trade secret or other similar rights of others, or of any such development of similar or identical
trade secrets or technical information by others, and there is no claim, action or proceeding being made or brought against, or
to the Company’s knowledge, being threatened against, the Company or its Subsidiaries regarding trademark, trade name, patents,
patent rights, invention, copyright, license, service names, service marks, service xxxx registrations, trade secret or other infringement,
which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(l) Environmental

laws and regulations relating to the protection of human health and safety, the environment or hazardous or toxic substances or
wastes, pollutants or contaminants (“Environmental Laws”), (ii) have received all permits, licenses or other
approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses and (iii) are in compliance
with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval, except where, in each of the three foregoing clauses, the
failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
(m) Title.
The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them and good and marketable
title in all personal property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case
free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects (“Liens”) and, except for Liens as do not materially affect
the value of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company
and its Subsidiaries and Liens for the payment of federal, state or other taxes, the payment of which is neither delinquent nor
subject to penalties. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and its Subsidiaries are held
by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with which the Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with such
exceptions as are not material and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by
the Company and its Subsidiaries.
(n) Insurance.
The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and
risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company
and its Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought or
applied for and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing
insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to
continue its business at a cost that would not materially and adversely affect the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings,
business or operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
(o) Regulatory
Permits. The Company and its Subsidiaries possess all material certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate
federal, state or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses, and neither the Company nor
any such Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate,
authorization or permit.
(p) Tax
Status. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has made or filed all federal and state income and all other material tax
returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject (unless and only to the extent that the Company
and each of its Subsidiaries has set aside on its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all unpaid and unreported
taxes) and 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, except those being contested in good faith and has set aside on its books provision
reasonably adequate for the payment of all 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 know of no basis for any such claim.
(q) Transactions
With Affiliates. Except as set forth
in the SEC Documents, none of the officers or directors of the Company and, to the knowledge of the Company, none of the employees

by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director
or such employee or, to the 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 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 agreements under any stock option plan of the Company.

laws of the state of its incorporation which is or could become applicable to the Investor as a result of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the Investor’s ownership of the
Securities.
(s) Disclosure. Except
with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents that will be timely
publicly disclosed by the Company, the Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided

during the twelve months preceding the date of this Agreement taken as a whole do not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made and when made, not misleading. The Company acknowledges and agrees that

(l) Limitation

or other similar transaction in which the Company may offer, issue or sell Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or any combination
thereof) at a future determined price, other than in connection with an Exempt Issuance. The Investor shall be entitled to seek

THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE
OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS, UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO: (1) RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (2) AN OPINION OF HOLDER’S COUNSEL,
IN A CUSTOMARY FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

shall, no later than two (2) Business Days following the delivery by the Investor to the Company or the Transfer Agent of one or
more legended certificates or book-entry statements representing Commitment Shares (which certificates or book-entry statements
the Investor shall promptly deliver on or prior to the first to occur of the events described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence),
as directed by the Investor, issue and deliver (or cause to be issued and delivered) to the Investor, as requested by the Investor,
either: (A) a certificate or book-entry statement representing such Commitment Shares that is free from all restrictive and other
legends or (B) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Commitment Shares represented by the certificate(s) or

and accomplish the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, including, without limitation, delivering all such legal opinions,
consents, certificates, resolutions and instructions to the Transfer Agent, and any successor transfer agent of the Company, as
may be requested from time to time by the Investor or necessary or desirable to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes
of the immediately preceding sentence. On the Commencement Date, the Company shall issue to the Transfer Agent, and any subsequent
transfer agent, (i) irrevocable instructions in the form substantially similar to those used by the Investor in substantially similar
transactions (the “Commencement Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”) and (ii) the notice of effectiveness
of the Registration Statement in the form attached as an exhibit to the Registration Rights Agreement (the “Notice of
Effectiveness of Registration Statement”), in each case to issue the Commitment Shares and the Purchase Shares in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. All Purchase Shares to be issued from and after Commencement
to or for the benefit of the Investor pursuant to this Agreement shall be issued only as DWAC Shares. The Company represents and
warrants to the Investor that, while this Agreement is effective, no instruction other than the Commencement Irrevocable Transfer
Agent Instructions and the Notice of Effectiveness of Registration Statement referred to in this Section 6(b) will be given
by the Company to the Transfer Agent with respect to the Purchase Shares or the Commitment Shares from and after Commencement,
and the Purchase Shares and the Commitment Shares covered by the Registration Statement shall otherwise be freely transferable

In consideration of

the Investor and all of its affiliates, stockholders, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of
the foregoing Person’s agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes
of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective
of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of,
or arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in
the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any
covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or
document contemplated hereby or thereby, or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee and
arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents or any other
certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, other than, in the case of clause (c), with respect to Indemnified
Liabilities which directly and primarily result from the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnitee. The indemnity
in this Section 9 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written
consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. To the extent that the foregoing
undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment
and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. Payment under this indemnification
shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date Investor makes written request for it. A certificate containing reasonable
detail as to the amount of such indemnification submitted to the Company by Investor shall be conclusive evidence, absent manifest
error, of the amount due from the Company to Investor. If any action shall be brought against any Indemnitee in respect of which
indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnitee 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 Indemnitee. Any
Indemnitee 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 Indemnitee, 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 such separate
counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Indemnitee, in
which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel.
10. EVENTS
OF DEFAULT.
An “Event of
Default” shall be deemed to have occurred at any time as any of the following events occurs:
(a) the
effectiveness of a registration statement registering the resale of the Securities lapses for any reason (including, without limitation,
the issuance of a stop order or similar order) or such registration statement (or the prospectus forming a part thereof) is unavailable
to the Investor for resale of any or all of the Securities to be issued to the Investor under the Transaction Documents, and such
lapse or unavailability continues for a period of ten (10) consecutive Business Days or for more than an aggregate of thirty (30)
Business Days in any 365-day period, but excluding a lapse or unavailability where (i) the Company terminates a registration statement
after the Investor has confirmed in writing that all of the Securities covered thereby have been resold or (ii) the Company supersedes
one registration statement with another registration statement, including (without limitation) by terminating a prior registration
statement when it is effectively replaced with a new registration statement covering Securities (provided in the case of this clause
(ii) that all of the Securities covered by the superseded (or terminated) registration statement that have not theretofore been
resold are included in the superseding (or new) registration statement);
(b) the
suspension of the Common Stock from trading on the Principal Market for a period of one (1) Business Day, provided that the Company
may not direct the Investor to purchase any shares of Common Stock during any such suspension;
(c) the
delisting of the Common Stock from OTC Markets, provided, however, that the Common Stock is not immediately thereafter trading
on the New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Capital Market, The NASDAQ Global Market, The NASDAQ Global Select Market, the NYSE
MKT, the NYSE Arca or the OTC Bulletin Board (or nationally recognized successor to any of the foregoing);
(d) the
failure for any reason by the Transfer Agent to issue Purchase Shares to the Investor within three (3) Business Days after the
applicable Purchase Date or Accelerated Purchase Date (as applicable) on which the Investor is entitled to receive such Purchase
Shares;
(e) the
Company breaches any representation, warranty, covenant or other term or condition under any Transaction Document if such breach
could have a Material Adverse Effect and except, in the case of a breach of a covenant which is reasonably curable, only if such
breach continues for a period of at least five (5) consecutive Business Days;
(f) if
any Person commences a proceeding against the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law;
(g) if
the Company, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law, (i) commences a voluntary case, (ii) consents to the entry
of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, (iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or
substantially all of its property, or (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or is generally unable to
pay its debts as the same become due;
(h) a
court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that (i) is for relief against the Company in
an involuntary case, (ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company or for all or substantially all of its property, or (iii) orders
the liquidation of the Company or any Subsidiary; or
(i) if
at any time the Company is not eligible to transfer its Common Stock electronically as DWAC Shares.
In addition to any other rights and remedies
under applicable law and this Agreement, so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or if any event which,
after notice and/or lapse of time, would become an Event of Default, has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall not deliver
to the Investor any Regular Purchase Notice or Accelerated Purchase Notice.
11. TERMINATION
This Agreement may
be terminated only as follows:
(a) If
pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law, the Company commences a voluntary case or any Person commences a proceeding
against the Company, a Custodian is appointed for the Company or for all or substantially all of its property, or the Company makes
a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors (any of which would be an Event of Default as described in Sections 10(f),
10(g) and 10(h) hereof), this Agreement shall automatically terminate without any liability or payment to the Company
(except as set forth below) without further action or notice by any Person.
(b) In
the event that (i) the Company fails to file the Registration Statement with the SEC within the period specified in Section
5(a) hereof in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement or (ii) the Commencement shall not have occurred
on or before December 31, 2017,1
due to the failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Sections 7 and 8 above with respect to the Commencement,
then, in the case of clause (i) above, this Agreement may be terminated by the Investor at any time prior to the filing of the
Registration Statement and, in the case of clause (ii) above, this Agreement may be terminated by either party at the close of
business on December 31, 2017 or thereafter, in each case without liability of such party to the other party (except as set forth
below); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11(b)(ii) shall not be available
to any party if such party is then in breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any representation or
warranty of such party contained in this Agreement fails to be true and correct such that the conditions set forth in Section
7(c) or Section 8(e), as applicable, could not then be satisfied.
(c) At any time after the Commencement Date, the Company shall have the option to terminate this Agreement for any reason or for no
reason by delivering notice (a “Company Termination Notice”) to the Investor electing to terminate this Agreement
without any liability whatsoever of any party to any other party under this Agreement (except as set forth below). The Company
Termination Notice shall not be effective until one (1) Business Day after it has been received by the Investor.
(d) This
Agreement shall automatically terminate on the date that the Company sells and the Investor purchases the full Available Amount
as provided herein, without any action or notice on the part of any party and without any liability whatsoever of any party to
any other party under this Agreement (except as set forth below).
(e) If,
for any reason or for no reason, the full Available Amount has not been purchased in accordance with Section 2 of this
Agreement by the Maturity Date, this Agreement shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date, without any action or notice
on the part of any party and without any liability whatsoever of any party to any other party under this Agreement (except as set
forth below).
Except as set forth in Sections 11(a)
(in respect of an Event of Default under Sections 10(f), 10(g) and 10(h)), 11(d) and 11(e), any termination
of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11 shall be effected by written notice from the Company to the Investor, or the
Investor to the Company, as the case may be, setting forth the basis for the termination hereof. The representations and warranties
and covenants of the Company and the Investor contained in Sections 3, 4, 5, and 6 hereof, the indemnification
provisions set forth in Section 9 hereof and the agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 10, 11 and
12 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and any termination of this Agreement. No termination of this
Agreement shall (i) affect the Company’s or the Investor’s rights or obligations under (A) this Agreement with respect
to pending Regular Purchases and Accelerated Purchases and the Company and the Investor shall complete their respective obligations
with respect to any pending Regular Purchases and Accelerated Purchases under this Agreement and (B) the Registration Rights Agreement,
which shall survive any such termination, or (ii) be deemed to release the Company or the Investor from any liability for intentional
misrepresentation or willful breach of any of the Transaction Documents.

waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy
thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute
good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right
to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT
TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT
OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
(b) Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement
and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party; provided that a facsimile
signature or signature delivered by e-mail in a “.pdf” format data file shall be considered due execution and shall
be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original signature.
(c) Headings.
The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this
Agreement.
(d) Severability.

assigns. The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of
the Investor, including by merger or consolidation. The Investor may not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement.

Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted

and its counsel on the form and substance of, and shall give due consideration to all such comments from the Investor or its counsel
on, any press release, SEC filing or any other public disclosure by or on behalf of the Company relating to the Investor, its purchases
hereunder or any aspect of the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, not less than 24 hours prior to
the issuance, filing or public disclosure thereof. The Investor must be provided with a final version of any such press release,
SEC filing or other public disclosure at least 24 hours prior to any release, filing or use by the Company thereof. The Company
agrees and acknowledges that its failure to fully comply with this provision constitutes a Material Adverse Effect.
(j) Further
Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall
execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request
in order to consummate and make effective, as soon as reasonably possible, the Commencement, and to carry out the intent and accomplish
the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

any financial advisor, placement agent, broker or finder in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. The Investor

with the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall be responsible for the payment of any fees or commissions, if any,
of any financial advisor, placement agent, broker or finder relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby.
The Company shall pay, and hold the Investor harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’

and nothing herein shall limit the Investor’s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the
terms of this Agreement. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm
to the Investor and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event

restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
