expenses not covered by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 6.3 above.
6.4 Short
Sales. Prior to the maturity date of the Note, neither the Investor nor any Affiliate of the Investor acting on its behalf
or pursuant to any understanding with it, shall execute any Short Sales of the Common Stock. “Short Sales” shall
include all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act; provided, however,
that in no event shall either the issuance of Shares to be received but not yet delivered pursuant to conversion of the Note be
deemed a Short Sale or the sale of any Securities issued under this Agreement be deemed a Short Sale.
6.5 Limitation
on Variable Rate Transactions. From and after the Effective Date until the Company’s complete repayment of all amounts
owed and outstanding under the Note, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any
issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof)
involving a Variable Rate Transaction, other than in connection with an Exempt Issuance. “Variable Rate Transaction”
means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable
or exercisable for, or include the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents either (A) at
a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of
or quotations for the Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities, or (B) with a conversion,
exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity
security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company
or the market for the Common Stock (including, without limitation, any “full ratchet” or “weighted average”
anti-dilution provisions) or (ii) enters into any agreement, including, but not limited to, an “equity line of credit”,
“at-the-market offering” or other continuous offering or similar offering of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents,
whereby the Company may sell Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at a future determined price. “Exempt Issuance”
means the issuance of (a) Common Stock or options to employees, officers, directors or vendors of the Company pursuant to any stock
or option plan duly adopted for such purpose, by the Company’s Board of Directors or a majority of the members of a committee
of directors established for such purpose, or (b) securities issuable upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any Securities
issued hereunder or under the Notes and/or other securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into Common Stock issued
and outstanding on the date of this Agreement, provided that such securities have not been amended since the date of this Agreement
to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of such securities.
6.6 Termination
of Obligations to Effect Closing; Effects.
(a) The
obligations of the Company, on the one hand, and the Investor, on the other hand, to effect the Closing shall terminate as follows:
(i) Upon
the mutual written consent of the Company and the Investor;
(ii) By
the Company if any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 shall have become incapable of fulfillment, and shall not
have been waived by the Company; or
(iii) By
the Investor if any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 shall have become incapable of fulfillment, and shall not
have been waived by the Investor;
provided, however, that, except in the
case of clause (i) above, the party seeking to terminate its obligation to effect the Closing shall not then be in breach of any
of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents if such
breach has resulted in the circumstances giving rise to such party’s seeking to terminate its obligation to effect the Closing.
7. Survival
and Indemnification.
7.1 Survival.
The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.
7.2 Indemnification.
The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Investor and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees
and agents from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable
attorney fees and disbursements and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any action,
claim or proceeding, pending or threatened and the costs of enforcement thereof) (collectively, “Losses”) to
which such Person may become subject as a result of any breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by or to
be performed on the part of the Company under the Transaction Documents, and will reimburse any such Person for all such amounts
as they are incurred by such Person.
7.3 Conduct
of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any Person (the “Indemnified Person”) of notice
of any demand, claim or circumstances which would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement of any action, proceeding or
investigation in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 7.2, such Indemnified Person shall promptly
notify the Company in writing and the Company shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however,
that the failure of any Indemnified Person so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder
except to the extent that the Company is materially prejudiced by such failure to notify. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified
Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such
Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel;
or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such Indemnified Person representation of both parties by the same counsel would
be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement
of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such
consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Person
from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated above) by reason of such settlement or judgment. Without the prior
written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Company shall not affect any settlement
of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity
could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified
Person from all liability arising out of such proceeding.
8. Miscellaneous.
8.1 Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by a party hereto without the prior written consent of the Company or the Investor,

to an Affiliate or to a third party acquiring some or all of its Securities in a private transaction without the prior written
consent of the Company, after notice duly given by such Investor to the Company. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to
the benefit of and be binding upon the respective permitted successors and assigns of the parties. Nothing in this Agreement, express

remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either

and the Investor. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon each holder of any Securities
purchased under this Agreement at the time outstanding, each future holder of all such Securities, and the Company.
8.7 Severability.
Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof but shall be interpreted
as if it were written so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and any such prohibition or unenforceability
in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, the parties hereby waive any provision of law which renders any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable
in any respect.
8.8 Entire
Agreement. This Agreement, including the Exhibits and the Disclosure Schedules, and the other Transaction Documents
constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereof with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all
prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
8.9 Further
Assurances. The parties shall execute and deliver all such further instruments and documents and take all such other actions
as may reasonably be required to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and to evidence the fulfillment of the agreements
herein contained.
8.10 Governing
Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. THE COMPANY AND INVESTOR WAIVE ANY
RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED
HEREIN, INCLUDING CLAIMS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY BASIS. Each party hereby
submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York, New York. If the jury waiver set forth
in this Section is not enforceable, then any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement
or any of the transactions contemplated herein will be finally settled by binding arbitration in New York, New York in accordance
with the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association by one arbitrator appointed in accordance
with said rules. The arbitrator shall apply New York law to the resolution of any dispute, without reference to rules of conflicts
of law or rules of statutory arbitration. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction
thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for preliminary or interim
equitable relief, or to compel arbitration in accordance with this paragraph. The expenses of the arbitration, including the arbitrator’s
fees and expert witness fees, incurred by the parties to the arbitration, may be awarded to the prevailing party, in the discretion
of the arbitrator, or may be apportioned between the parties in any manner deemed appropriate by the arbitrator. Unless and until
the arbitrator decides that one party is to pay for all (or a share) of such expenses, both parties shall share equally in the
payment of the arbitrator’s fees as and when billed by the arbitrator.
