preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted
only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is

and the Subsidiaries have established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e))
for the Company and the Subsidiaries and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed
by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the

of the disclosure controls and procedures of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the end of the period covered by the most recently
filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most
recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure

notice from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance
with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in
the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements. The transactions contemplated
by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents will not constitute a change of control under Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Rule 5635(b).
The Common Stock is currently eligible for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation
and the Company is current in payment of the fees to the Depository Trust Company (or such other established clearing corporation) in
connection with such electronic transfer.

any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar
anti-takeover provision under the Company’s certificate of incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its state
of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the Purchasers and the Company fulfilling their
obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation as a result of the Company’s
issuance of the Securities and the Purchasers’ ownership of the Securities.
(z) Disclosure.
Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company confirms
that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers or their agents or counsel with any information
that it believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information. The Company understands and confirms that the Purchasers
will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All of the disclosure furnished by
or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries, their respective businesses and the transactions
contemplated hereby, including 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 the 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made
and when made, not misleading. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser makes or has made any representations or warranties
with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 3.2 hereof.
(aa) No
Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2,
neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers
or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the Securities
to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of (i) the Securities Act which would require the registration
of any such securities under the Securities Act, or (ii) any applicable stockholder approval provisions of any Trading Market on
which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.
(bb) Solvency.
Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the receipt by the Company
of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder, (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets exceeds the
amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known
contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on
its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital
requirements of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof,
and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of
its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its
liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts
as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge
of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization
laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date. Schedule 3.1(bb) sets forth as of the date hereof there is no outstanding
secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments. For

excess of $50,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business), (y) all guaranties, endorsements
and other contingent obligations in respect of indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s
consolidated balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection
or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (z) the present value of any lease payments in excess of $50,000

for the payment of all material taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. Except
as disclosed on Schedule 3.1(cc), there are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction,
and the officers of the Company or of any Subsidiary know of no basis for any such claim.

of any of the Transaction Documents.

party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute
the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited
by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application
affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance,
injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by
applicable law.
(b) Own
Account. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under
the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and not with
a view to or for distributing or reselling such Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state
securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable
state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the
distribution of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law (this representation and warranty
not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise in compliance with
applicable federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.
(c) Purchaser
Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on which
it exercises any Pre-Funded Warrants, it will be, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3),
(a)(7), (a)(8), (a)(9), (a)(12), or (a)(13) under the Securities Act.
(d) Experience
of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience
in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities,
and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the
Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
(e) General
Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not, to such Purchaser’s knowledge, purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement,
article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over
television or radio or presented at any seminar or, to the knowledge of such Purchaser, any other general solicitation or general advertisement.
(f) Access
to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including all exhibits
and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary
of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities
and the merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition,
results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the
opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that
is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. Such Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that
neither the Placement Agent nor any Affiliate of the Placement Agent has provided such Purchaser with any information or advice with
respect to the Securities nor is such information or advice necessary or desired. Neither the Placement Agent nor any Affiliate
has made or makes any representation as to the Company or the quality of the Securities and the Placement Agent and any Affiliate may
have acquired non-public information with respect to the Company which such Purchaser agrees need not be provided to it. In connection
with the issuance of the Securities to such Purchaser, neither the Placement Agent nor any of its Affiliates has acted as a financial
advisor or fiduciary to such Purchaser.
(g) Certain
Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not, nor has
any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or
sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Purchaser first
received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms
of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s
assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other
portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets
managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement. Other than to
other Persons party to this Agreement or to such Purchaser’s representatives, including, without limitation, its officers, directors,
partners, legal and other advisors, employees, agents and Affiliates, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures
made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect
to locating or borrowing shares in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that the
representations contained in this Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction Document
or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation
or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to locating or borrowing shares in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions
in the future.
ARTICLE IV.
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1 Transfer
Restrictions.
(a) 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, to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection
with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), 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
Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and
the Registration Rights Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement and the Registration
Rights Agreement.
(b) The
Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Securities in the following
form:
THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED
WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT
PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION
NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY
MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION
THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
The Company acknowledges
and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or
grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as
defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer
pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company
and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no
notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable
documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities,
including, if the Securities are subject to registration pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the preparation and filing of
any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities
Act to appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholders (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) thereunder.
(c) Certificates
evidencing the Shares and Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof),
(i) while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective under
the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Shares
are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information
required under Rule 144 as to such Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, or (iv) if such legend is not
required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff
of the Commission). The Company shall, at its expense, cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent or the Purchaser
promptly after the Effective Date if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder, or if requested by
a Purchaser, respectively. If all or any portion of a Pre-Funded Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration
statement to cover the resale of the Warrant Shares, or if such Shares or Warrant Shares may be sold under Rule 144 and the Company
is then in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144, or if the Shares or Warrant Shares may be sold
under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144
as to such Shares or Warrant Shares or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including
judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such Shares or Warrant Shares shall be issued
free of all legends. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under
this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading
Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer
Agent of a certificate representing Shares, issued with a restrictive legend (such date, the “Legend Removal Date”),
deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other
legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions
on transfer set forth in this Section 4. Certificates for Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the
Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System
as directed by such Purchaser. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period,
expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on
the date of delivery of a certificate representing Shares, issued with a restrictive legend.
(d) In
addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, (i) as partial liquidated
damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Shares or Warrant Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such Shares
or Warrant Shares are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.1(c),
$10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day three (3) Trading Days after the Legend Removal Date) for each Trading Day
after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend and (ii) if the Company fails to (a) issue
and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to a Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date a certificate representing the Shares or Warrant Shares
so delivered to the Company by such Purchaser that is free from all restrictive and other legends and (b) if after the Legend Removal
Date such Purchaser purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale
by such Purchaser of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal
to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock that such Purchaser anticipated receiving from the Company without any
restrictive legend, then, an amount equal to the excess of such Purchaser’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions
and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket
expenses, if any) (the “Buy-In Price”) over the product of (A) such number of Shares or Warrant Shares that the
Company was required to deliver to such Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date multiplied by (B) the lowest closing sale price of
the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery by such Purchaser to the Company of the
applicable Shares or Warrant Shares and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this clause (ii).
(e) Each
Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees with the Company that such Purchaser will sell any Securities
pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or
an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the
plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities
as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.
4.2 Furnishing
of Information; Public Information.
(a) Until
the earlier of time that (i) no Purchaser owns Securities or (ii) the Pre-Funded Warrants have expired, the Company covenants
to maintain the registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to timely file (or
obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after
the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.
(b) At
any time during the period commencing from the six (6) month anniversary of the date hereof and ending at such time that all of
the Securities may be sold without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without
restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if the Company (i) shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public
information requirement under Rule 144(c) or (ii) has ever been an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) or
becomes an issuer in the future, and the Company shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) (a “Public
Information Failure”) then, in addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser,
in cash, as partial 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 two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate Subscription Amount of such Purchaser’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 Purchasers to transfer the Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144. The payments to
which a Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.2(b) are referred to herein as “Public Information
Failure Payments.” Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar
month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred and (ii) the third (3rd) Business Day after
the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured. In the event the Company fails to make Public Information
Failure Payments in a timely manner, such Public Information Failure Payments shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (prorated
for partial months) until paid in full. Nothing herein shall limit such Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Public
Information Failure, and such Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without
limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.
4.3 Integration.
The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in
Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require
the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities
for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require stockholder approval prior to the closing
of such other transaction unless stockholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.
4.4 Securities
Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall (a) by the Disclosure Time, issue a press release disclosing the material terms
of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) file a Current Report on Form 8-K, including the Transaction Documents as
exhibits thereto, with the Commission within the time required by the Exchange Act. From and after the issuance of such press release,
the Company represents to the Purchasers that it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to any
of the Purchasers by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or
agents, including, without limitation, the Placement Agent, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
In addition, effective upon the issuance of such press release, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality
or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
officers, directors, agents, employees, Affiliates or agents, including, without limitation, the Placement Agent, on the one hand, and
any of the Purchasers or any of their Affiliates on the other hand, shall terminate and be of no further force or effect. The Company
understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the
Company. The Company and each Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public
statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of any Purchaser, or without the prior consent
of each Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except
if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of
such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser,
or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior
written consent of such Purchaser, except (a) as required by federal securities law in connection with (i) any registration
statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) the filing of final Transaction Documents with the Commission
and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide
the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b) and reasonably cooperate with such Purchaser
regarding such disclosure.
4.5 Stockholder
Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that any Purchaser
is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution
under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan (a “Stockholder Rights Plan”) or arrangement in effect or
hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by
virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers. The
Company shall not adopt any Stockholder Rights Plan that would prevent the Purchasers and their Affiliates from owning up to 35% of the
issued and outstanding equity or equity-linked securities of the Company, computed on a fully-diluted basis
4.6 Non-Public
Information.
(a) Except
with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, which shall be disclosed
pursuant to Section 4.4, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide
any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes, or the Company reasonably believes constitutes, material
non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have consented in writing to the receipt of such information and agreed
in writing with the Company to keep such information confidential. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be
relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. To the extent that the Company, any of its
Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, counsel or Affiliates delivers any material, non-public
information to a Purchaser without such Purchaser’s consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that such Purchaser shall
not have any duty of confidentiality to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees,
Affiliates or agents, including, without limitation, the Placement Agent, or a duty to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of
their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or agents, including, without limitation, the Placement Agent, not to trade
on the basis of, such material, non-public information, provided that the Purchaser shall remain subject to applicable law. To the extent
that any notice provided pursuant to any Transaction Document constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the
Company or any Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously with the delivery of such notice file such notice with the Commission pursuant
to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant
in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
(b) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, on or prior to the appointment of the 325 Board Designee to the Board of Directors and for so long as
the 325 Board Designee (or any Replacement Director (as defined below)) serves as a director on the Board of Directors, the Company and
the 325 Board Designee will enter into an agreement with 325 Capital to share confidential information with 325 Capital and its Affiliates,
officers, directors, partners, employees, advisors, counsel and agents.
4.7 Use
of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for working capital purposes and shall
not use such proceeds: (a) for the satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s Indebtedness (other than payment of trade
payables in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and prior practices), (b) for the redemption of any Common Stock
or Common Stock Equivalents, (c) for the settlement of any outstanding litigation or (d) in violation of FCPA or OFAC regulations.
4.8 Indemnification
of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.8, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors,
officers, stockholder, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person
holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, stockholders, agents,
members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding
a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all
losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements,
court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result
of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this
Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against the Purchaser Parties in any capacity (including
a Purchaser Party’s status as an investor), or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by the Company or any stockholder of
the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party, arising out of or relating to any of the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification provided herein is intended to, and shall also cover, direct claims
brought by the Company against the Purchaser Parties; provided, however, that such indemnification shall not cover any loss, claim, damage
or liability to the extent it is finally judicially determined to be attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in any Transaction Document or any conduct by a Purchaser
Party which is finally judicially determined to constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any action shall be brought
against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly
notify the Company in writing, and, except with respect to direct claims brought by the Company, the Company shall have the right to
assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have
the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized
by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel
or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the applicable Purchaser Party (which may be internal
counsel), a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in
which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company
will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s
prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In addition, if any Purchaser Party takes actions to collect
amounts due under any Transaction Documents or to enforce the provisions of any Transaction Documents, then the Company shall pay the
costs incurred by such Purchaser Party for such collection, enforcement or action, including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees and
disbursements. The indemnification and other payment obligations required by this Section 4.8 shall be made by periodic payments
of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation, defense, collection, enforcement or action, as and when bills are received
or are incurred; provided, that if any Purchaser Party is finally judicially determined not to be entitled to indemnification or payment
under this Section 4.8, such Purchaser Party shall promptly reimburse the Company for any payments that are advanced under this
sentence. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party
against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.
4.9 Reservation
of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at
all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue
Shares pursuant to this Agreement and Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants.
4.10 Listing
of Common Stock; Stockholder Approval; Reimbursement of Pre-Funded Warrant Purchase Price. The Company hereby agrees to use best
efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on the Trading Market on which it is currently listed, and concurrently
with the Closing, the Company shall apply to list or quote all of the Shares and Warrant Shares on such Trading Market and promptly secure
the listing of all of the Shares and Warrant Shares on such Trading Market. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have
the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will then include in such application all of the Shares and Warrant Shares, and
will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Shares and Warrant Shares to be listed or quoted on such other Trading
Market as promptly as possible. The Company will then take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its
Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under
the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market. The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock for electronic transfer
through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of
fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer. In addition,
the Company shall file a proxy statement on Schedule 14A within thirty (30) days of Closing and hold a special meeting of stockholders
(which may also be at the annual meeting of stockholders) at the earliest practical date after the date following the filing thereof
for the purpose of obtaining Stockholder Approval, with the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors that such proposal
be approved, and the Company shall solicit proxies from its stockholders in connection therewith in the same manner as all other management
proposals in such proxy statement and all management-appointed proxyholders shall vote their proxies in favor of such proposal. The Company
shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain such Stockholder Approval. In the event the Company fails to obtain Stockholder Approval
as contemplated by the terms hereof, each Purchaser shall be refunded all pre-paid aggregate exercise price for the Pre-Funded Warrant
purchased by such Purchaser as promptly as practicable following the Company’s failure to obtain such Stockholder Approval, but
in any event no later than three (3) Trading Days thereafter.
4.11 Subsequent
Equity Sales.
(a) From
the date hereof until 90 days after the date of this Agreement, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall (i) issue, enter into
any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or (ii) file
any registration statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, in each case other than as contemplated pursuant to the Registration
Rights Agreement; provided that nothing herein shall prohibit the Company from supplementing or amending any existing registration statement
in order to keep such registration statement current.
(b) From
the date hereof until 180 days after the date of this Agreement, 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 absent the prior written consent of the Purchasers. “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 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 shares of 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 or
(ii) enters into, or effects a transaction under, any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit or an “at-the-market
offering” whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price, regardless of whether shares pursuant to such
agreement have actually been issued and regardless of whether such agreement is subsequently canceled. Any Purchaser shall be entitled
to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect
damages.
(c) Unless
Stockholder Approval has been obtained and deemed effective, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall make any issuance whatsoever
of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents which would cause any adjustment of the exercise price of the Pre-Funded Warrants to the
extent the holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants would not be permitted, pursuant to the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants, to exercise their
respective Warrants in full, ignoring for such purposes the other exercise limitations therein. Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain
injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.
(d) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 4.11 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction shall
be an Exempt Issuance.
4.12 Equal
Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid to any
Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is
also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right
granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers
as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition
or voting of Securities or otherwise.
4.13 Certain
Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it,
nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short
Sales, of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such
time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described
in Section 4.4. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press release as described
in Section 4.4, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information
included in the Disclosure Schedules (other than as disclosed to its legal and other representatives). Notwithstanding the foregoing
and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no
Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of
the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial
press release as described in Section 4.4, (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions
in any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from and after the time that the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4 and (iii) no
Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality or duty not to trade in the securities of the Company to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries,
or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or agent, including, without limitation, the Placement Agent after
the issuance of the initial press release as described in Section 4.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser
that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets
and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions
of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the
portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.
4.14 Form D;
Blue Sky Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and
to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of any Purchaser. 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 Purchasers at the Closing under
applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly
upon request of any Purchaser.
4.15 Capital
Changes. Until the one (1)-year anniversary of the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not undertake a reverse or forward stock
split or reclassification of the Common Stock without the prior written consent of the Purchasers holding a majority in interest of the
Shares.
4.16 Lock-Up
Agreements. The Company shall not amend, modify, waive or terminate any provision of any of the Lock-Up Agreements except to extend
the term of the lock-up period and shall enforce the provisions of each of each Lock-Up Agreement in the accordance with its terms. If
any party to a Lock-Up Agreement breaches any provision of a Lock-Up Agreement, the Company shall promptly use its best efforts to seek
specific performance of the terms of such Lock-Up Agreement.
4.17 Acknowledgment
of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under
the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are
unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any
such dilution or any claim the Company may have against any Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have
on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.
4.18 Exercise
Procedures. The form of Notice of Exercise included in the Pre-Funded Warrants set forth the totality of the procedures required
of the Purchasers in order to exercise the Pre-Funded Warrants. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall
be required of the Purchasers to exercise their Pre-Funded Warrants. Without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original Notice
of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise
form be required in order to exercise the Pre-Funded Warrants. The Company shall honor exercises of the Pre-Funded Warrants and shall
deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.
4.19 Compliance
with Rules of Trading Market. The Company shall not issue or sell any shares of Common Stock to the Purchasers hereunder to
the extent that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would be issued pursuant to this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated hereby would exceed 2,772,561 (such number of shares equal to 19.99% of the number of shares of Common
Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Subscription Date), which number of shares shall be reduced, on a share-for-share
basis, by the number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to any transaction or series of transactions that may be aggregated
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under applicable rules of the Trading Market.
4.20 Board
Composition; Board Committees
(a) Concurrent
with the Closing, the Board of Directors and all applicable committees thereof shall increase the size of the Board of Directors by one
(1) and appoint Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx (the “325 Board Designee”) as new a member of the Board of Directors to fill
the vacancy created by such increase in the size of the Board of Directors, with an initial term expiring at the Company’s 2025
Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2025 Annual Meeting”). Prior to the date hereof, (i) the Nomination and
Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Nominating Committee”) has reviewed and approved the
qualifications of the 325 Board Designee to serve as a member of the Board of Directors and (ii) the Board of Directors has confirmed
that the 325 Board Designee is “independent” as defined by the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”).
In connection with the foregoing, the 325 Board Designee has provided to the Company information required to be or customarily disclosed
by directors or director candidates in proxy statements or other filings under applicable law or stock exchange rules or listing
standards, information in connection with assessing eligibility, independence and other criteria applicable to directors, and a fully
completed, true and accurate copy of the Company’s standard director questionnaire and other reasonable and customary director
onboarding documentation.
(b) At
each meeting of stockholders of the Company following the Closing at which directors shall be elected, for so long as 325 Capital and
its Affiliates continue to satisfy the Minimum Ownership Threshold (subject to adjustment for stock splits, reclassifications, combinations
and similar adjustments), the Company agrees that the Board of Directors and all applicable committees of the Board of Directors will
take all necessary action to (i) nominate the 325 Board Designee for election to the Board of Directors, and (ii) subject to
the exercise by the Board of Directors of its fiduciary duties under applicable law, to recommend, support and solicit proxies for the
election of the 325 Board Designee (or any Replacement Director pursuant to Section 4.20(d)) in the same manner as the Company has
supported its nominees up for election at prior annual meetings of stockholders at which the election of directors was uncontested; provided,
that in the event the Board of Directors determines not to recommend, support and solicit proxies for the election of the 325 Board Designee
(or any Replacement Director) at any meeting of stockholders, the Company agrees and will take all actions necessary to (1) notify
325 Capital in writing of such determination (a “Change in Recommendation Notice”) as promptly as practicable, and
in any event within one (1) business day thereafter; and (2) either schedule or move the date of any such meeting (if such
date has already been set) to a date no less than 90 calendar days from the date a Change in Recommendation Notice is delivered to 325
Capital. Further, except as otherwise permitted by the immediately preceding sentence, for so long as 325 Capital and its Affiliates
continue to satisfy the Minimum Ownership Threshold (subject to adjustment for stock splits, reclassifications, combinations and similar
adjustments), the Company agrees to hold each annual meeting of stockholders within 30 days of the anniversary of the prior year’s
annual meeting of stockholders.
(c) Within
10 calendar days following the Closing, the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (“Bylaws”) shall be amended
by the Board of Directors to permit any single director to be able to call a special meeting of the Board of Directors and bring forward
business at any regular or special meetings of the Board of Directors. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall be
construed to waive compliance with Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act.
(d) If
the 325 Board Designee (or any Replacement Director) is unable or unwilling to serve as a director, resigns as a director, is removed
as a director, or for any other reason fails to serve or is not serving as a director at any time, and at such time 325 Capital and its
Affiliates continue to satisfy the Minimum Ownership Threshold, 325 Capital shall have the right to identify a replacement (a “Replacement
Director”) with relevant financial and business experience, who qualifies as “independent” pursuant to Nasdaq’s
listing standards, who satisfies Company policies applicable to all directors, and who is reasonably acceptable to the Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed. The Board shall use its reasonable best efforts, in good faith and consistent with its fiduciary duties, to approve
or deny any candidate for a Replacement within 10 business days of being identified by 325 Capital and, upon approval of the Replacement
Director (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to promptly, but no later than five (5) business
days from such approval, appoint the Replacement Director to the Board of Directors (and applicable committee or committees of the Board
of Directors). In the event that the Board of Directors declines to approve a candidate as a Replacement Director, then 325 Capital may
propose one or more additional candidates to be the Replacement Director and the process described in this Section 4.20(d) will
continue until a Replacement Director is approved by the Board of Directors. Upon becoming a member of the Board of Directors, the Replacement
Director will be deemed to be the 325 Board Designee for all purposes of this Agreement.
(e) The
Company and 325 Capital agree that, concurrent with the appointment of the 325 Board Designee to the Board of Directors, the Board of
Directors shall take such action as is necessary such that the 325 Board Designee be appointed to each of the standing committees of
the Board of Directors and any new committee created hereafter. Further, for so long as 325 Capital and its Affiliates continue to satisfy
the Minimum Ownership Threshold (subject to adjustment for stock splits, reclassifications, combinations and similar adjustments), the
325 Board Designee shall continue to serve on each such committee of the Board of Directors; provided that the 325 Board Designee is
and continues to remain eligible to serve as a member of such committees pursuant to applicable law and the rules of Nasdaq, if
any, that are applicable to the composition of such committee.
(f) Concurrent
with the appointment of the 325 Board Designee to the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors shall take all action necessary to form
a new Finance Committee of the Board (the “Finance Committee”) consisting of four (4) independent directors,
with the purpose of improving the Company’s operational and financial performance, including to evaluate the Company’s budgets,
capital allocation practices and policies and review of strategic alternatives, and make recommendations to the Board of Directors on
the foregoing matters. Subject to the exercise by the Board of Directors of its fiduciary duties under applicable law, the Board of Directors
shall cause the Committee to be composed of three independent directors, including the 325 Board Designee who shall serve as its Chair.
The Chair of the Finance Committee will oversee the drafting of the Finance Committee’s charter for approval by the other members
of the Finance Committee within 30 days from the formation of the Finance Committee. For so long as 325 Capital and its Affiliates continue
to satisfy the Minimum Ownership Threshold (subject to adjustment for stock splits, reclassifications, combinations and similar adjustments),
the Company agrees that the Finance Committee shall continue in existence and the 325 Board Designee shall remain its Chair, subject
to the exercise by the Board of Directors of its fiduciary duties under applicable law. The Finance Committee shall have the authority
to (i) retain its own accountants, consultants, financial advisors, lawyers and other advisors (at the expense of the Company, and
with the prior approval of the Board of Directors) as it may determine, in its reasonable discretion, are necessary and appropriate;
and (ii) request any information it requires from directors, officers, employees and advisors of the Company, all of whom shall
be directed to cooperate in a timely manner with the Finance Committee, as it deems necessary.
(g) In
this Agreement, where an obligation of the Company or the Board of Directors (or any committee thereof) is qualified by the phrase “subject
to the exercise by the Board of Directors of its fiduciary duties under applicable law,” compliance with such obligation shall
not be required if the Board of Directors (or, in the case of an obligation that is to be fulfilled by a committee of the Board of Directors,
such committee), after receipt of written advice from counsel regarding the same, determines in good faith that such compliance would
violate the Board of Directors’ (or, as the case may be, such committee’s) fiduciary duties under applicable law.
4.21 Future
Purchases of Company Equity Securities. From and after the date of this Agreement and except as contemplated by this Agreement, each
Purchaser represents, warrants and agrees that it will not purchase equity or equity-linked securities of the Company if such purchase
would cause the Purchaser and its Affiliates to own more that 35% of the issued and outstanding equity or equity-linked securities of
the Company, computed on a fully-diluted basis, absent the prior approval of the Company’s Board of Directors.
4.22 Participation
in Future Financings. For so long as a Purchaser continue to satisfy
the Minimum Ownership Threshold (subject to adjustment for stock splits, reclassifications, combinations and similar adjustments), the
Company agrees to afford them the opportunity to participate in any financing involving the issuance by the Company of Common Stock or
Common Stock Equivalents (the “Subsequent Financing”) on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent
Financing, and in an amount not to exceed their pro rata interest in the Company, computed on a fully diluted basis; provided however
that this right to participate in future financing shall be null and void to the extent that any such participation would cause the Purchaser
and its Affiliates to own more that 35% of the issued and outstanding equity or equity-linked securities of the Company, computed on
a fully-diluted basis, absent the prior approval of the Company’s Board of Directors.
ARTICLE V.
MISCELLANEOUS
5.1 Termination. This
Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever
on the obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other parties, if the Closing has not been
consummated on or before the fifth (5th) Trading Day following the date hereof; provided, however, that no such
termination will affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by any other party (or parties).
5.2 Fees
and Expenses. At the Closing, the Company has agreed to reimburse Purchaser the non-accountable sum of $75,000 for its legal fees
and expenses, and has agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent for its legal fees and expenses as set forth in the Placement Agency Agreement.
The Company shall deliver to each Purchaser, prior to the Closing, a completed and executed copy of the Closing Statement, attached hereto
as Annex A. Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses
of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation,
preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees (including, without
limitation, any fees required for same-day processing of any instruction letter delivered by the Company and any exercise notice delivered
by a Purchaser), stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Securities to the Purchasers.
5.3 Entire
Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect
to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.
5.4 Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall
be deemed given and effective on the earliest of: (a) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via
facsimile at the facsimile number or email attachment at the email address as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto at

5.5 Amendments;
Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in
the case of an amendment, by the Company and Purchasers which purchased at least 50.1% in interest of the Shares based on the initial
Subscription Amounts hereunder (or, prior to the Closing, the Company and each Purchaser) or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against
whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought, provided that if any amendment, modification or waiver disproportionately and
adversely impacts a Purchaser (or group of Purchasers), the consent of such disproportionately impacted Purchaser (or group of Purchasers)
shall also be required. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed
to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement
hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
Any proposed amendment or waiver that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the rights and obligations of any Purchaser
relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Purchasers shall require the prior written consent of such adversely affected
Purchaser. Any amendment effected in accordance with this Section 5.5 shall be binding upon each Purchaser and holder of Securities
and the Company.
5.6 Headings.
The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any
of the provisions hereof.
5.7 Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.
The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Purchaser
(other than by merger). Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns
or transfers any Securities, provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities,
by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchasers.”
5.8 No
Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Placement Agent shall be the third-party beneficiary of the representations and warranties of the
Company in Section 3.1 and the representations and warranties of the Purchasers in Section 3.2. This Agreement is intended
for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any
provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.8 and this Section 5.8.
5.9 Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed
by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts
of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates,
directors, officers, stockholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts
sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts
sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with
any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents),
and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Action or Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of any such court, that such Action or Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding. Each party
hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Action or Proceeding by mailing
a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect
for notices to it under 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 other manner permitted by law.
If any party shall commence an Action or Proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then, in addition to the
obligations of the Company under Section 4.8, the prevailing party in such Action or Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing
party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution
of such Action or Proceeding.
5.10 Survival.
The (a) representations and warranties contained herein and (b) the agreements between the parties set forth in Article IV
shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Shares.
5.11 Execution.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement
and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that
the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf”
format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature
is executed) with the same force and effect as if such “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
5.12 Severability.
If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal,
void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force
and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts
to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision,
covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining
terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or
unenforceable.
5.13 Rescission
and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any
of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document
and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind
or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in
whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, that, in the case of a rescission
of an exercise of a Pre-Funded Warrant, the applicable Purchaser shall be required to return any shares of Common Stock subject to any
such rescinded exercise notice concurrently with the return to such Purchaser of the aggregate exercise price paid to the Company for
such shares and the restoration of such Purchaser’s right to acquire such shares pursuant to such Purchaser’s Pre-Funded
Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement pre-funded warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).
5.14 Replacement
of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall
issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of
and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company
of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable
third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
5.15 Remedies.
In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers
and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may
not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and
hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law
would be adequate.
5.16 Payment
Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a
Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or
any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or
are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including,
without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such
restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect
as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
5.17 Independent
Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several
and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance
of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document,
and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association,
a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group
with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently
protect and enforce its rights including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction
Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose.
Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The
Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not
because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained
in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company
and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.
5.18 Liquidated
Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction
Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts
have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts
are due and payable shall have been canceled.
5.19 Saturdays,
Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or
granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business
Day.
5.20 Construction.
The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents
and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party
shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference
to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits,
stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement.
5.21 WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES
EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY
AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.
