disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to the Investor by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of

4.4 Legends.
The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer
of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144 (as defined below), to the Company or to
an affiliate of the Investor, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected
by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory
to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the 1933 Act.
The Investor understands that the Securities, except as set forth below, shall bear any legends as required by applicable state
securities or “Blue Sky” laws in addition to a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer
order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):
[NEITHER
THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE [CONVERTIBLE]
[EXERCISABLE] HAVE BEEN][THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN] REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED
(I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED,
OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER (IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY), IN A CUSTOMARY FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED
UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD OR ELIGIBLE TO BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE
FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT
SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.
The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its transfer agent to remove the legend set forth above and to issue a
certificate without such legend to the holder of the Securities upon which it is stamped, or to issue to such holder by electronic
delivery at the applicable balance account at the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), unless otherwise
required by state securities or “blue sky” laws, at such time as (i) such Securities are registered for resale under
the 1933 Act, (ii) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer, such holder provides the Company with an opinion of
counsel, in a form generally acceptable to the Company’s legal counsel, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer
of the Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act, or (iii) such holder provides the Company and its legal
counsel with reasonable assurance in writing that the Securities can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or
Rule 144A. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company agrees that, following the effective date of a registration statement
covering the resale of such Securities or at such time as such legend is not required pursuant to this Section 4.4, the Company
shall, no later than three Trading Days following the delivery by the Investor to the Company or the Company’s transfer
agent of a certificate representing the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such
third Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), either: (A) issue and deliver (or cause to be issued
and delivered) to the Investor a certificate representing such Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable, that is free
from all restrictive and other legends or (B) cause the Company’s transfer agent to credit the Investor’s or its designee’s
account at DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system with a number of Common Shares equal to the number of
Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable represented by the certificate so delivered by the Investor. If the Company
fails on or prior to the Legend Removal Date to either (i) issue and deliver (or cause to be issued and delivered) to the Investor
a certificate representing the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable, that is free from all restrictive and other
legends or (ii) cause the Company’s transfer agent to credit the balance account of the Investor or its designee at DTC
through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system with a number of Common Shares equal to the number of Conversion Shares
or Warrant Shares, as applicable, represented by the certificate delivered by the Investor pursuant hereto, then, in addition
to all other remedies available to the Investor, the Company shall pay in cash to the Investor on each day after the Legend Removal
Date that the issuance or credit of such shares is not timely effected an amount equal to 1.0% of the product of (A) the sum of
the number of Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable, not issued to the Investor on a timely basis and to which the
Investor is entitled and (B) the VWAP for the five Trading Day period immediately preceding the Legend Removal Date. In addition
to the foregoing, if the Company fails to so properly deliver such unlegended certificates or so properly credit the account of
the Investor or its designee at DTC by the Legend Removal Date, and if on or after the Legend Removal Date the Investor purchases
(in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Investor of Conversion
Shares or Warrant Shares that the Investor anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend, then the Company
shall, within three Trading Days after the Investor’s request, pay cash to the Investor in an amount equal to the Investor’s
total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Common Shares so purchased, at which point the Company’s
obligation to deliver a certificate or credit the Investor’s or its designee’s account at DTC for such Conversion
Shares or Warrant Shares shall terminate and such shares shall be cancelled.

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.
5.14 Registration

Company.
5.15 Disclosure.
Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company confirms

Investor 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 Investor regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries, their respective businesses
and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Disclosure Schedules to this Agreement, is true and correct 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 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 the Investor
does not make nor has made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those

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 integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of (i) the 1933 Act which would require the
registration of any such securities under the 1933 Act, or (ii) any applicable shareholder approval provisions of any Trading
Market on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.
5.17 No
General Solicitation; Placement Agent’s Fees. Neither the Company, nor any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates, nor any

any placement agent or other agent in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities.
5.18 Bankruptcy
Status; Indebtedness. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any steps to seek protection pursuant to any
law or statute relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, liquidation or winding up, nor does the Company
or any Subsidiary have any knowledge or reason to believe that any of their respective creditors intend to initiate involuntary
bankruptcy proceedings or any actual knowledge of any fact which would reasonably lead a creditor to do so. Schedule 5.18 sets
forth as of the Effective Date all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness (as defined below) of the Company or any of
its Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness”
means (x) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course

and (z) the present value of any lease payments due under leases required to be capitalized in accordance with GAAP. The Company
is not in default with respect to any Indebtedness. The Company and its Subsidiaries, individually and on a consolidated basis,
are not, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby to occur at the Closing will not be, Insolvent (as defined
below). “Insolvent” means, (I) with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis,

to pay the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ total Indebtedness (as defined below), (ii) the Company and its Subsidiaries
are unable to pay their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute
and matured or (iii) the Company and its Subsidiaries intend to incur or believe that they will incur debts that would be beyond
their ability to pay as such debts mature; and (II) with respect to the Company and each Subsidiary, individually, (i) the present
fair saleable value of the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s (as the case may be) assets is less than the amount required

debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured or (iii)
the Company or such Subsidiary (as the case may be) intends to incur or believes that it will incur debts that would be beyond
its respective ability to pay as such debts mature. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in any business
or in any transaction, and is not about to engage in any business or in any transaction, for which the Company’s or such
Subsidiary’s remaining assets constitute unreasonably small capital.
5.19 Regulation
M Compliance. The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting on its behalf has, (i) taken, directly or indirectly,
any action designed to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to
facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Securities, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or paid any compensation for soliciting
purchases of, any of the Securities, or (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any Person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase
any other securities of the Company.
5.20 Acknowledgment
Regarding Investor’s Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Investor is acting solely in
the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and that
the Investor is not (i) an officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) an “affiliate” (as
defined in Rule 144) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (iii) to its knowledge, a “beneficial owner” of
more than 10% of the Common Shares (as defined for purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the 1934 Act). The Company further acknowledges that
the Investor is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or in any similar capacity)
with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and any advice given by the Investor or any of its representatives
or agents in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby 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 this
Agreement has been based solely on the independent evaluation by the Company and its representatives.
5.21 Shell
Company Status. The Company is not currently, and has never been, an issuer identified in Rule 144(i)(1) under the Securities
Act.
5.22 Dilutive
Effect. The Company understands and acknowledges that the number of Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares will increase in
certain circumstances. The Company further acknowledges that its obligation to issue the Conversion Shares upon conversion of
the Notes contained in the Units and the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants contained in the Units in accordance with
this Agreement, the Notes and the Warrants is absolute and unconditional, regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance
may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders of the Company.
5.23 Application
of Takeover Protections; Rights Agreement. The Company and its board of directors have taken all necessary action, if any,
in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, interested stockholder, business combination, poison pill (including,
without limitation, any distribution under a rights agreement), stockholder rights plan or other similar anti-takeover provision
under the articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents or the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation
or otherwise 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.
The Company and its board of directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any stockholder
rights plan or similar arrangement relating to accumulations of beneficial ownership of Common Shares or a change in control of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
5.24 Insurance.
The Company is 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 business in which the Company is engaged. The Company
has not been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for, and the Company has no reason to believe that it will be unable
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 have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.25 Employee
Relations. The Company is not a party to any collective bargaining agreement and does not employ any member of a union. The
Company believes that its relations with its employees are good. No executive officer (as defined in Rule 501(f) promulgated under
the 0000 Xxx) or other key employee of the Company has notified the Company that such officer intends to leave the Company or
otherwise terminate such officer’s employment with the Company. No executive officer or other key employee of the Company
is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary
information agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant, and the continued
employment of each such executive officer or other key employee (as the case may be) does not subject the Company to any liability
with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The Company is in compliance with all federal, state, local and foreign laws and
regulations respecting labor, employment and employment practices and benefits, terms and conditions of employment and wages and
hours, except where failure to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect.
5.26 Title.
The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property, and have good and marketable
title to all personal property, owned by them which is material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case,
free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects except such as do not materially affect the value of such property and do
not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries. Any real
property and facilities held under lease by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and
enforceable leases 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 or any of its Subsidiaries.
5.27 Environmental
Laws. The Company and its Subsidiaries (i) are in compliance with all Environmental Laws (as defined below), (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 where, in each of the foregoing
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the failure to so comply could be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate,
a Material Adverse Effect. “Environmental Laws” means all federal, state, local or foreign laws relating
to pollution or protection of human health or the environment (including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater,
land surface or subsurface strata), including, without limitation, laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened
releases of chemicals, pollutants, contaminants, or toxic or hazardous substances or wastes (collectively, “Hazardous
Materials”) into the environment, or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment,
storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials, as well as all authorizations, codes, decrees, demands or demand
letters, injunctions, judgments, licenses, notices or notice letters, orders, permits, plans or regulations issued, entered, promulgated
or approved thereunder.
5.28 Tax
Status. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries (i) has timely made or filed all foreign, federal and state income and all
other tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has timely 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 (iii) 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 and its Subsidiaries know of no basis for any such claim. The Company is not operated in such a manner as to qualify
as a passive foreign investment company, as defined in Section 1297 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”).
5.29 Transfer
Taxes. On the Closing Date, all stock transfer or other taxes (other than income or similar taxes) which are required to be
paid in connection with the issuance, sale and transfer of the Securities to be sold to the Investor hereunder will be, or will
have been, fully paid or provided for by the Company, and all laws imposing such taxes will be or will have been complied with.
5.30 Foreign
Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any director, officer, agent, employee or other Person
acting on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has, in the course of its actions for, or on behalf of, the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries (i) used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses
relating to political activity; (ii) made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official
or employee from corporate funds; (iii) violated or is in violation of any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
of 1977, as amended; or (iv) made any unlawful bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to
any foreign or domestic government official or employee.
5.31 Illegal
or Unauthorized Payments; Political Contributions. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the best of the
Company’s knowledge (after reasonable inquiry of its officers and directors), any of the officers, directors, employees,
agents or other representatives of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other business entity or enterprise with which
the Company or any Subsidiary is or has been affiliated or associated, has, directly or indirectly, made or authorized any payment,
contribution or gift of money, property, or services, whether or not in contravention of applicable law, (a) as a kickback or
bribe to any Person or (b) to any political organization, or the holder of or any aspirant to any elective or appointive public
office except for personal political contributions not involving the direct or indirect use of funds of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries.
5.32 Money
Laundering. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with, and have not previously violated, the USA Patriot Act
of 2001 and all other applicable U.S. and non-U.S. anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including, without limitation,
the laws, regulations and Executive Orders and sanctions programs administered by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control, including,
without limitation, (i) Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001 entitled, “Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions
With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism” (66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (2001)); and (ii) any regulations
contained in 31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V.
5.33 Investment
Company Status. The Company is not, and upon consummation of the sale of the Securities will not be, an “investment
company,” an affiliate of an “investment company,” a company controlled by an “investment company”
or an “affiliated person” of, or “promoter” or “principal underwriter” for, an “investment
company” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
5.34 U.S.
Real Property Holding Corporation. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is, or has ever been, and so long as any
of the Securities are held by the Investor, shall become, a U.S. real property holding corporation within the meaning of Section
897 of the Code, and the Company and each Subsidiary shall so certify upon the Investor’s request.
5.35 No
Disqualification Events. None of the Company, any of its predecessors, any affiliated issuer, any director, executive officer,
other officer of the Company participating in the offering contemplated hereby, any beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Company’s
outstanding voting equity securities, calculated on the basis of voting power, nor any promoter (as that term is defined in Rule
405 under the 0000 Xxx) connected with the Company in any capacity at the time of sale (each, an “Issuer Covered Person”)
is subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the 1933 Act
(a “Disqualification Event”), except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3)
under the 1933 Act. The Company has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any Issuer Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification
Event.
5.36 Ranking
of Note. The Notes shall be treated on a parri passu basis. All payments shall be made on a pro rata basis,
based upon the outstanding principal balance of the Notes. No other Indebtedness of the Company, at the Closing, will be senior
to, or pari passu with, the Notes in right of payment, whether with respect to payment or redemptions, interest, damages,
upon liquidation or dissolution or otherwise.
6. Representations
and Warranties of the Investor. The Investor hereby represents, warrants and covenants that:
6.1 Authorization.
The Investor has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate
the transactions contemplated hereby and has taken all action necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
6.2 No
Public Sale or Distribution. The Investor is (i) acquiring the Units, and the Notes and Warrants comprising the Units, (ii)
upon conversion of the Notes contained in the Units will acquire the Conversion Shares, and (iii) upon exercise of the Warrants
contained in the Units will acquire the Warrant Shares, in each case for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with
a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of any part thereof, except pursuant to sales
registered or exempted under the 0000 Xxx. The Investor is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.
The Investor does not presently have any contract, agreement, undertaking, arrangement or understanding, directly or indirectly,
with any individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization
and a government or any department or agency thereof (a “Person”) to sell, transfer, pledge, assign
or otherwise distribute any of the Securities.
6.3 Accredited
Investor Status; Investment Experience. The Investor is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule
501(a) of Regulation D. The Investor can bear the economic risk of its investment in the Securities, and has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities.
The Investor covenants and agrees to, simultaneously with the Investor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, complete
and deliver the Investor Questionnaire set forth on Exhibit C hereto.
6.4 Reliance
on Exemptions. The Investor understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions
from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part
upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Investor’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments
and understandings of the Investor set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility
of the Investor to acquire the Securities.
6.5 Information.
The Investor and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations
of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities which have been requested by the Investor. The Investor
and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. Neither such inquiries nor any other
due diligence investigations conducted by the Investor or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or
affect the Investor’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained herein. The Investor
understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. The Investor has sought such accounting, legal
and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities.
The Investor is relying solely on its own accounting, legal and tax advisors, and not on any statements of the Company or any
of its agents or representatives, for such accounting, legal and tax advice with respect to its acquisition of the Securities
and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
6.6 No
Governmental Review. The Investor understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental
agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment
in the Securities nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.
6.7 Validity;
Enforcement; No Conflicts. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the Investor
and shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Investor enforceable against the Investor in accordance with
its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable
creditors’ rights and remedies. The execution, delivery and performance by the Investor of this Agreement and the consummation
by the Investor of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of
the Investor or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become
a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture
or instrument to which the Investor is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or
decree (including federal and state securities or “Blue Sky” laws) applicable to the Investor, except in the case
of clause (ii) above, for such conflicts, defaults or rights which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Investor to perform its obligations hereunder.
6.8 Organization
and Standing. The Investor is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the State of Illinois.
6.9 Certain
Transactions. The Investor has not directly or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding
with the Investor, engaged in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including, without limitations, any Short Sales
involving the Company’s securities) since the earlier to occur of (i) the time that the Investor was first contacted by
the Company, Xxxx Capital Partners, LLC, or any other person regarding an investment in the Company and (ii) the thirtieth (30th)
day prior to the date of this Agreement. The Investor covenants that neither it nor any person acting on its behalf or pursuant
to any understanding with it will engage in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including Short Sales) prior to
the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed. For purposes hereof, “Short
Sales” include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation
SHO under the 1934 Act and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, short
sales, swaps and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-US broker
dealers or foreign regulated brokers.
7. Use
of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds from the sale of the Securities solely for general working capital purposes.
8. Rule
144 Availability; Public Information. At all times during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending at such time
that all of the Securities can be sold without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) under the 1933 Act and
otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, the Company shall use its reasonable best
efforts to ensure the availability of Rule 144 under the 1933 Act to the Investor with regard to the Conversion Shares and the
Warrant Shares, including compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) under the 1933 Act. If, (i) at any time the Investor owns any Securities,
the Company shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) under the 1933 Act
(a “Public Information Failure”), or (ii) the Company shall fail to take such action as is reasonably
requested by the Investor to enable the Investor to sell the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under
the 1933 Act (including, without limitation, delivering all such legal opinions, consents, certificates, resolutions and instructions
to the Company’s transfer agent as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Investor and otherwise fully cooperate
with Investor and Investor’s broker to effect such sale of securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act), then, in
either case, in addition to the Investor’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Investor, in cash, as liquidated
damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Securities, an amount in
cash equal to one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Investor’s Securities on the day of a Public Information
Failure and on every thirtieth (30th) day (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the earlier
of (a) the date such Public Information Failure is cured and (b) such time that such public information is no longer required
for the Investor to transfer the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act. The payments
to which the Investor shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 8 are referred to herein as “Rule 144 Failure Payments.”
Rule 144 Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which such Rule 144 Failure
Payments are incurred and (ii) the third (3rd) Trading Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Rule 144 Failure Payments
is cured.
9. Indemnification.
In consideration of the Investor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and acquiring the Securities hereunder and
in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under this Agreement, and the Notes and the Warrants comprising the
Units, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Investor and each holder of any Securities and all of
their stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing
Persons’ 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 this Agreement, the Notes contained in the Units or the Warrants contained in the Units, (b) any breach
of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in any of this Agreement, the Notes contained in the Units or
the Warrants contained in the Units, or (c) any cause of action, suit, proceeding or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee
by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary) or which
otherwise involves such Indemnitee that arises out of or results from (i) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement
of any of this Agreement, the Notes contained in the Units or the Warrants contained in the Units, (ii) any transaction financed
or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, or (iii) the
status of the Investor or holder of the Securities either as an investor in the Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement or as a party to this Agreement (including, without limitation, as a party in interest or otherwise in any action
or proceeding for injunctive or other equitable relief). 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.
10. Registration
of Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares. If the Company proposes to file a registration statement with the Commission with
respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible
into, equity securities, for its own account or for the account of any stockholder of the Company (other than (i) any registration
statement relating to any “equity-line” or similar transaction, (ii) a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form
S-8 or their successors or any other form for a limited similar purpose or (iii) any registration statement covering only securities
proposed to be issued in exchange for securities or assets of another person), the Company shall, at least thirty (30) days prior
to such filing, give written notice to the Investor of its intention to do so and, upon the written request of the Investor given
within twenty (20) days of the receipt of such notice (which request shall state the intended method of disposition of the Registrable
Securities held by the Investor), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities that the
Investor requests the Company to register for resale to be included in such registration and shall use its best efforts to cause
the managing underwriter or underwriters (if any) of a proposed underwritten offering to permit such Registrable Securities to
be included in such registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company, in each case to the
extent necessary to permit the resale of such Registrable Securities by the Investor under Rule 415 under the Securities Act at
then prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices) in accordance with the intended methods of distribution specified in the
request of the Investor. The Investor and its counsel shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such registration
statement and any amendment or supplement to such registration statement and any related prospectus prior to its filing with the
Commission, and the Company shall give due consideration to all such comments. The Investor shall furnish all information reasonably
requested by the Company for inclusion therein. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the registration statement
and any amendment declared effective by the Commission at the earliest possible date. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts
to keep the registration statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act and available for resales
of all of the Registrable Securities at all times until the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Investor may resell all of
the Registrable Securities without restriction pursuant to the last sentence of Rule 144(b)(1)(i) promulgated under the Securities
Act (or successor thereto) or (ii) the date on which the Investor shall have resold all the Registrable Securities. The registration
statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any 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 in which they were made, not misleading.
11. Listing;
Blue Sky. The Company shall promptly secure the approval for listing of (i) the maximum number of Conversion Shares issuable
upon conversion of the Notes contained in the Units purchased hereby (without taking into account any limitations on the conversion
of the Notes set forth therein) that may from time to time be issuable under the terms of the Notes contained in the Units purchased
hereby and (ii) the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants contained in the Units purchased hereby
(without taking into account any limitations on the exercise of the Warrants set forth therein) that may from time to time be

by the Trading Market. The Company shall not take any action which could be reasonably expected to result in the delisting or
suspension of the quotation of the Common Shares on the Trading Market. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall
reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to, qualify the Securities for sale to the Investor
at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United
States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification), and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Investor
on or prior to the Closing Date. Without limiting any other obligation of the Company under this Agreement, the Company shall
timely make all filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the Securities required under all applicable securities
laws (including, without limitation, all applicable federal securities laws and all applicable “Blue Sky” laws), and
the Company shall comply with all applicable federal, foreign, state and local laws, statutes, rules, regulations and the like
relating to the offering and sale of the Securities to the Investor. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection
with satisfying its obligations under this Section 11.
12. Reservation
of Shares. So long as any of the Notes or Warrants contained in the Units purchased hereby remain outstanding, the Company
shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of issuance not less than 100% of
the sum of (i) the maximum number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes contained in the Units purchased
hereby (without taking into account any limitations on the conversion of the Notes set forth therein) and (ii) the maximum number
of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants contained in the Units purchased hereby (without taking into account
any limitations on the exercise of the Warrants set forth therein).
13. Conduct
of Business. The business of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or
regulation of any governmental entity, except where such violations would not result, either individually or in the aggregate,
in a Material Adverse Effect.
14. Passive
Foreign Investment Company. The Company shall conduct its business, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to conduct their respective
businesses, in such a manner as will ensure that the Company will not be deemed to constitute a passive foreign investment company
within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code.
15. Restriction
on Redemption and Cash Dividends. So long as any of the Notes contained in the Units purchased hereby are outstanding, the
Company shall not, directly or indirectly, redeem, or declare or pay any cash dividend or distribution on, any securities of the
Company without the prior express written consent of the Investor.
16. Corporate
Existence; Other Matters. So long as any of the Notes or Warrants contained in the Units purchased hereby are outstanding,
the Company covenants and agrees that it may not, without the consent of the Investor: (a) amend the terms of the Notes or the
Warrants contained in the Units purchased hereby; (b) amend the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company in any manner
which would impair or reduce the rights of the holders of the Notes or Warrants contained in the Units purchased hereby; (c) liquidate
or dissolve the Company; (d) enter into any line of business other than a business substantially similar or related to the existing
business of the Company; or (e) dispose of any material assets of the Company with a total value in excess of $3 million.
17. Limitation
on Variable Rate Transactions. So long as any of the Notes or Warrants contained in the Units purchased hereby are outstanding,
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 Shares or Common Share Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction,
other than in connection with an Exempt Issuance. The Investor shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company
and its Subsidiaries to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages, without
the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. “Common Share Equivalents”
means any securities of the Company or its Subsidiaries which entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Shares,
including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, rights, options, warrants or other instrument that is at any time convertible
into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Shares. “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 Shares or Common
Share Equivalents either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price, exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies
with the trading prices of or quotations for the Common Shares at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities
(including, without limitation, pursuant to any “cashless exercise” provision), 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 Shares (including, without limitation, any “full ratchet” or “weighted average”
anti-dilution provisions), (ii) issues or sells any debt or equity securities, including without limitation, Common Shares or
Common Share Equivalents, either (A) at a 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 Shares, or (B) that is subject to or contains any put, call, redemption,
buy-back, price-reset or other similar provision or mechanism (including, without limitation, a “Black-Scholes” put
