BUYERS’ REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Each
Buyer represents and warrants to the Company, that:
5.1 Investment Purpose. Each Buyer
is acquiring the Securities for its own account for investment only
and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the
public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales
registered or exempted under the Securities Act; provided, however,
that by making the representations herein, each Buyer reserves the
right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with
or pursuant to an effective registration statement covering such
Securities or an available exemption under the Securities Act. The
Buyer acknowledges that a legend will be placed on the certificates
representing the Securities in the following form:
THESE
SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND ARE
“RESTRICTED SECURITIES” AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN RULE
144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED
FOR SALE, SOLD, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION THEREUNDER, THE AVAILABILITY OF WHICH IS TO BE
ESTABLISHED TO THE REASONABLE SATISFACTION OF COUNSEL TO THE
ISSUER.
5.2 Accredited Investor Status.
Each Buyer is an “accredited investor” as that term is
defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, as promulgated under the
Securities Act.
5.3 Reliance on Exemptions. Each
Buyer 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 each Buyer’s compliance with, the representations,
warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of each
Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the availability of
such exemptions and the eligibility of each Buyer to acquire the
Securities.
-6-
5.4 Information. Each Buyer and its
advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating
to the business, finances and operations of the Company and other
information each Buyer deemed material to making an informed
investment decision regarding its purchase of the Notes and
Warrants, which have been requested by such Buyer. Each Buyer
acknowledges that it has received and reviewed a copy of the SEC
Documents, which are available on the SEC’s website
(xxx.xxx.xxx) at
no charge to Buyers. Buyers acknowledge that each of them may
retrieve all SEC Documents from such website and each Buyer’s
access to such SEC Documents through such website shall constitute
delivery of the SEC Documents to Buyers. Each Buyer and its
advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask
questions of the Company and its management. Each Buyer understands
that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of
risk. Each Buyer is in a position regarding the Company, which,
based upon employment, family relationship or economic bargaining
power, enabled and enables such Buyer to obtain information from
the Company in order to evaluate the merits and risks of this
investment. Each Buyer 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. Without limiting the foregoing, each Buyer has
carefully considered the potential risks relating to the Company
and a purchase of the Securities, and fully understands that the
Securities are a speculative investment that involves a high degree
of risk of loss of the Buyer’s entire investment. Among other
things, each Buyer has carefully considered each of the risks
described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the
Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 11, 2019 (the
“Form
10-K”).
5.5 Minimum Offering. Each Buyer
understands that the Company may accept such Buyer’s purchase
hereunder, at any time once the Company shall have received an
aggregate purchase price in the amount of at least $2,000,000. Any
officer or director of the Company or the Placement Agent, or any
of such parties affiliates, may participate in this offering and
their investment, if any, will count towards the foregoing minimum
amount. As such, Buyer understands that the Company may not receive
proceeds hereunder in any amount greater than $2,000,000, which may
limit the Company’s ability to execute upon its intended
business plan.
5.6 No Governmental Review. Each
Buyer understands that no United States federal or state
Governmental Authority 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 Governmental
Authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of
the Securities.
5.7 Authorization, Enforcement.
This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and
delivered on behalf of each Buyer and is a valid and binding
agreement of each Buyer, enforceable in accordance with its terms,
except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles
of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or
affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’
rights and remedies.
5.8 General Solicitation. No Buyer
is purchasing any Securities as a result of any advertisement,
article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper,
magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or
presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or
general advertisement. Each Buyer represents that it has a
relationship with the Placement Agent or the Company preceding the
offering of the Notes and the Warrants.

(c) Matters With Respect to Shares and
Transfer Agent.
(i) Removal of Restrictive Legends.
In the event that any Buyer has any Note Shares or Warrant Shares
bearing any restrictive legends, and such Buyer, through its
counsel or other representatives, submits to the Company’s
transfer agent (“Transfer
Agent”) any such shares for the removal of the
restrictive legends thereon, whether in connection with a sale of
such shares pursuant to any
exemption to the registration requirements under the Securities
Act, or otherwise, and the Company and or its counsel refuses or
fails for any reason (except to the extent that such refusal or
failure is based solely on applicable Law, including SEC
interpretive guidance, that would prevent the removal of such
restrictive legends) to render an opinion of counsel or any other
documents or certificates required for the removal of the
restrictive legends, then the Company hereby agrees and
acknowledges that such Buyer is hereby irrevocably and expressly
authorized to have counsel to such Buyer render any and all
opinions and other certificates or instruments which may be
required for purposes of removing such restrictive legends, and the
Company hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Transfer
Agent to, without any further confirmation or instructions from the
Company, issue any such shares without restrictive legends as
instructed by such Buyer, and surrender to a common carrier for
overnight delivery to the address as specified by such Buyer,
certificates, registered in the name of such Buyer or its
designees, representing the shares of Common Stock to which such
Buyer is entitled, without any restrictive legends and otherwise
freely transferable on the books and records of the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is acknowledged and agreed that
the Company shall not be required to comply with a request to
remove any restrictive legend for any Buyer who at the time of the
request is an Affiliate of the Company other than in connection
with the sale of the shares underlying the applicable
certificate(s) in accordance with Rule 144.
(ii) Authorized
Agent of the Company. The Company hereby irrevocably
appoints each Buyer and each Buyer’s counsel and its
representatives, each as the Company’s duly authorized agent
and attorney-in-fact for the Company solely for the purposes of
authorizing and instructing the Transfer Agent to process
issuances, transfers and legend removals upon instructions from
each Buyer, or any counsel or representatives of each Buyer, in
strict compliance with this Section 7.3(c). The
authorization and power of attorney granted hereby is coupled with
an interest and is irrevocable so long as any Buyer owns or has the
right to receive, any shares of the Company’s Common Stock
hereunder. In this regard, the Company hereby confirms to the
Transfer Agent and each Buyer that it can NOT and will NOT give instructions,
including stop orders or otherwise, inconsistent with the terms of
this Section 7.3(c)
with regard to the matters contemplated herein, and that each Buyer
shall have the absolute right to provide a copy of this Agreement
to the Transfer Agent as evidence of the Company’s
irrevocable authority for each Buyer and Transfer Agent to process
issuances, transfers and legend removals upon instructions from
each Buyer, or any counsel or representatives of each Buyer, in
each case as specifically contemplated in this Section 7.3(c), without any
further instructions, orders or confirmations from the
Company.

(iii) Injunction
and Specific Performance. The Company specifically
acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened
breach by the Company of any provision of this Section 7.3(c), each Buyer will
be irreparably damaged and that damages at law would be an
inadequate remedy if this Agreement were not specifically
enforced. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened
breach of any provision of this Section 7.3(c) by the Company,
each Buyer shall be entitled to seek, in addition to all other
rights or remedies such Buyer may have, at law or in equity, an
injunction restraining such breach, without being required to show
any actual damage or to post any bond or other security, and/or to
a decree for specific performance of the provisions of this
Section
7.3(c).

shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes and the
Warrants for working capital and general corporate purposes and
payment of the fees and expenses of this offering.

Buyers), upon demand, or to otherwise be responsible for the
payment of, any and all costs, fees, charges and expenses,
including the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of
counsel for any Buyer, and of any experts and agents, which any
Buyer may incur or which may otherwise be due and payable in
connection with: (i) any documentary stamp taxes, intangibles
taxes, recording fees, filing fees, or other similar taxes, fees or
charges imposed by or due to any Governmental Authority in
connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents;
(ii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of any
Buyer under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents; or

the provisions of this Agreement or any of the Transaction
Documents. The provisions of this Subsection shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.
7.6 Public Disclosure of Buyers.
The Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Buyer, or
include the name of any Buyer in any filing with the SEC or any
regulatory agency or Principal Trading Market, without the prior
written consent of such Buyer except: (a) as required by federal
securities law in connection with any registration statement
contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement or (b) to the
extent such disclosure is required by Law or Principal Trading

INDEMNIFICATION
10.1 Company’s
Obligation to Indemnify. In consideration of the
Buyers’ execution and delivery of this Agreement, and in
addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under this
Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to defend and indemnify each
Buyer and each Buyer’s Affiliates and subsidiaries, and their
respective directors, officers, employees, agents and
representatives, and the successors and assigns of each of them
(collectively, the “Buyer
Indemnified Parties”) and the Company hereby agrees to
hold the Buyer Indemnified Parties harmless, from and against any
and all Claims made, brought or asserted against the Buyer
Indemnified Parties, or any one of them, and the Company hereby
agrees to pay or reimburse the Buyer Indemnified Parties for any
and all Claims payable by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties to
any Person, including reasonable attorneys’ and
paralegals’ fees and expenses, court costs, settlement
amounts, costs of investigation and interest thereon from the time
such amounts are due at the highest non-usurious rate of interest
permitted by applicable Law, through all negotiations, mediations,
arbitrations, trial and appellate levels, as a result of, or
arising out of, or relating to: (i) any misrepresentation or breach
of any representation or warranty made by the Company or any
Operating Subs in this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any
other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or
thereby; (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement or Obligation

liable to any Buyer under this indemnity: (i) for any settlement by
a Buyer in connection with any Claim effected without the

MATTERS RELATING TO THE BUYERS
11.1 Independent
Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights. The
obligations of each Buyer under this Agreement and the Transaction
Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any
other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the
performance of the obligations of any other Buyer under any one or
more of the Transaction Documents. The decision of each Buyer to
purchase the Notes and the Warrants pursuant to the Transaction
Documents has been made by each such Buyer independently of any
other Buyer and independently of any information, materials,
statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations,
assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition
(financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or of its
subsidiaries, if any, which may have been made or given by any
other Buyer or any of their respective officers, directors,
principals, employees, agents, counsel or representatives
(collectively, including the Buyer in question, the
“Buyer
Representatives”). No Buyer Representative shall have
any liability to any other Buyer or the Company relating to or
arising from any such information, materials, statements or
opinions, if any. Each Buyer acknowledges that no other Buyer has
acted as agent for such Buyer in connection with making its
investment hereunder and that no Buyer will be acting as agent of
such other Buyer in connection with monitoring its investment in
the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction
Documents. Each Buyer 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 Buyer to be
joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose.
The Company and each of the Buyers acknowledge that, for reasons of
administrative convenience the Company has elected to provide each
of the Buyers with the same Transaction Documents for the purpose
of closing a transaction with multiple Buyers and not because it
was required or requested to do so by any Buyer. In furtherance of
the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, the Company and the
Buyers acknowledge that nothing contained in this Agreement or in
any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant
thereto, shall be deemed to constitute any two or more Buyers as a
partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of
entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers are in any way
acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents.
11.2 Equal
Treatment of Buyers. No consideration shall be offered or
paid to any Buyer to amend or consent to a waiver or modification
of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents, unless the
same consideration is also offered to all of the other Buyers
parties to the Transaction Documents.
ARTICLE
XII
TERMINATION
12.1 Termination.
This Agreement may be terminated prior to Closing (i) by written
agreement of the Buyers and the Company, or (ii) by either the
Company or a Buyer (as to itself but no other Buyer) upon written
notice to the other, if the Closing shall not have taken place by
August 31, 2019 (the “Termination Date”), provided that
(x) the Termination Date may be extended until September 30, 2019
upon the mutual consent of the Placement Agent and the Company and
(y) in the event that there shall have occurred any material
adverse change in the financial markets of the United States, any
outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other national or
international calamity or crisis the effect of which is such to
make it, in the judgment of the Placement Agent, impracticable to
market the securities offered hereby or enforce contracts for the
sale of those securities, the Termination Date may be unilaterally
extended by the Placement Agent for a period not to exceed ninety
(90) days from the later of August 31, 2019 or such later date as
may have been previously extended by the Placement Agent and the
Company pursuant to clause (x) above (the “Outside Closing
Date”).

12.2 Consequences
of Termination. No termination of this Agreement shall
release any party from any liability for breach by such party of
the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction
Documents.

full force and effect..

13.3 Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement, and any and all rights, duties
and obligations hereunder, shall not be assigned, transferred,
delegated or sublicensed by the Company without the prior written
consent of each Buyer. Subject to the foregoing and except as
otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors,
assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the parties
hereto.
13.4 Binding
Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties
hereto, their respective successors and permitted
assigns.
13.5 Amendment.
Except as specifically set forth herein, neither the Company nor
any Buyer makes any representation, warranty, covenant or
undertaking with respect to such matters. For clarification
purposes, the Recitals are part of this Agreement. No provision of
this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in
writing signed by the Company and the Required Buyers. Any
amendment to any provision of this Agreement made in conformity
with the provisions of this Section 13.5 shall be binding on all
Buyers and holders of Securities, as applicable, provided that no
such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it (1) applies
to less than all of the holders of the Securities then outstanding
or (2) imposes any obligation or liability on any Buyer without
such Buyer’s prior written consent (which may be granted or
withheld in such Buyer’s sole discretion). No waiver shall be
effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized
representative of the waiving party, provided that the Required
Buyers may waive any provision of this Agreement, and any waiver of
any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the
provisions of this Section 13.5 shall be binding on all Buyers and
holders of Securities, as applicable, provided that no such waiver
shall be effective to the extent that it (1) applies to less than
all of the holders of the Securities then outstanding (unless a
party gives a waiver as to itself only) or (2) imposes any
obligation or liability on any Buyer without such Buyer’s
prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such
Buyer’s sole discretion). No consideration shall be offered
or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or
modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents
unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties
to the Transaction Documents who are holders of Securities. The
Company has not, directly or indirectly, made any agreements with
any Buyers relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents except as set forth in
the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, the
Company confirms that, except as set forth in this Agreement, no
Buyer has made any commitment or promise or has any other
obligation to provide any financing to the Company or otherwise. As
a material inducement for each Buyer to enter into this Agreement,
the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that no due diligence
or other investigation or inquiry conducted by a Buyer, any of its advisors or any of
its representatives shall affect such Buyer’s right to rely
on, or shall modify or qualify in any manner or be an exception to
any of, the Company’s representations and warranties
contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

Buyers” means Buyers holding a majority of the

13.9 Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in

validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be
governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without
giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or
rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions)
that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions
other than the State of New York. The Company hereby irrevocably
submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal

the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith
or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein,
