Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Series A Preferred
Stock Offering
On
March 30, 2026, SmartKem, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Preferred Stock
Purchase Agreement") with certain institutional investors (collectively, the "Buyers"), including certain March Noteholders
(as defined below) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Buyers in a private placement (the “Private Placement”),
at an initial closing, (i) 11,411.5 shares of the Company's newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value
$0.0001 per share (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), with a stated value of $1,000 per share, convertible into shares of
the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), at an initial conversion price of $0.5812 per
share, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Certificate of Designations (as defined below), and (ii) warrants to purchase up
to 23,251,960 shares of Common Stock (the "Warrants"). The purchase price under the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement may be
satisfied in cash or by exchange of Notes (defined below).
As
previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company, on March 18, 2026, entered
into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "March Note Purchase Agreement") with certain accredited investors (the “March Noteholders”),
pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the March Note Holders senior secured promissory notes (the "Notes")
in the aggregate original principal amount of $3,750,000 for an aggregate purchase price of $2,625,000, reflecting an original issue discount
of approximately 30%. Pursuant to the Notes, each March Noteholder may elect to exchange all or any portion of the then outstanding
principal amount of its Note into the securities being issued in such subsequent placement, with the aggregate amount of such securities
valued at 120% of the exchanged principal amount.
Each
Warrant is exercisable for shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $0.5812 per share, subject to adjustment, and is exercisable
at any time after the six-month anniversary of the issuance date and until the third anniversary thereof. The Warrants provide for cashless
exercise in the event a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants
is not effective. The exercise of the Warrants is subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock (adjustable to 9.99% upon 61 days' prior written notice by the holder). The exercise price of the Warrants is subject to customary
adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits and similar transactions, as well as full ratchet anti-dilution protection upon the issuance
of shares of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents (other than certain excluded securities) at a price per share below the then-effective
exercise price. The exercise price is also subject to adjustment upon certain stock combination events and, following the date the Preferred
Stock Stockholder Approval (as defined below) is obtained, is subject to periodic adjustment to the market price of the Common Stock for
a period of 180 calendar days. Prior to the date the Preferred Stock Stockholder Approval is obtained, no adjustment may reduce the exercise
price below $0.5812.
The
Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement also provides the Buyers with the right, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to require
the Company to participate in one or more additional closings for the purchase of up to an aggregate of 10,000 additional shares of Series A
Preferred Stock and Warrants within 12 months of the initial closing date. In connection with the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement,
each holder of a Note provided a limited waiver of any term or condition of the transaction documents entered into in connection with
the March Note Purchase Agreement that would otherwise restrict or prohibit the execution and delivery of the Preferred Stock Purchase
Agreement and the other transaction documents entered into in connection therewith and the issuance of the securities thereunder, solely
with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement.
The
Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the Company and the Buyers customary for similar
transactions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement were made solely for the
benefit of the parties to the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
Accordingly, the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement is incorporated herein by reference only to provide investors with information regarding
the terms thereof and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding the Company or its business, and should be
read in conjunction with the disclosures in the Company’s periodic reports and other filings with the SEC.
In
addition, the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement prohibits the Company from issuing any shares of Series A Preferred Stock (other
than to the Buyers) without the prior written consent of the Required Holders (as defined under the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement).
During the period commencing on the date of the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement and ending on the date immediately following the 90th
trading day after the earlier of (x) the effectiveness of the initial registration statement required by the Preferred Stock Registration
Rights Agreement and (y) the date all registrable securities are eligible for resale under Rule 144, the Company and its subsidiaries
are prohibited from directly or indirectly issuing, offering, selling or otherwise disposing of any equity or equity-linked securities,
subject to certain exceptions for employee equity awards, conversions of existing securities and shares issuable under the ELOC Purchase
Agreement (as defined below). Furthermore, the Company and its subsidiaries are prohibited from effecting any variable rate transaction
(other than in connection with the ELOC Purchase Agreement) until the later of (x) the expiration of the additional closing period
and (y) the date no shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding. The Company is also prohibited from granting, issuing
or selling shares of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents (other than certain excluded securities) at a price per share less than
the then-effective conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock during the period commencing on the initial closing date and
ending on the third anniversary of the initial closing date.
The
Company is required to seek stockholder approval (the "Preferred Stock Stockholder Approval"), either by (x) obtaining
the written consent of the requisite stockholders and filing an information statement with the SEC no later than 45 calendar days after
the initial closing date, or (y) holding a special or annual meeting of stockholders no later than the 60th calendar day after the
initial closing date, for (i) an increase in the Company's authorized shares of Common Stock from 300,000,000 to 5,000,000,000, (ii) the
removal of the restriction on stockholder action by written consent, (iii) the issuance of all securities under the Preferred Stock
Purchase Agreement in compliance with the rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, (iv) a reverse stock split of
the Common Stock in such ratio as determined by the Board of Directors, and (v) an increase in the number of shares issuable under
the Company's 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. Moreover, until the later of (x) the expiration of the additional closing period and (y) the
date no shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company is prohibited from (a) directly or indirectly redeeming,
or declaring or paying any cash dividend or distribution on, any securities of the Company without the prior written consent of the Buyers
(other than as required by the Certificate of Designations) and (b) effecting any stock combination, reverse stock split or similar
transaction without the prior written consent of the Required Holders (except as necessary to maintain the listing of the Common Stock
on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC). The Company is also required to retain a consultant, recommended by the Required Holders and reasonably
acceptable to the Company, to provide advice on strategic acquisitions and new business development and related consulting services within
30 days of the initial closing date, for compensation not to exceed $240,000.
In
connection with the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, on March 30, 2026, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement
(the "Preferred Stock Registration Rights Agreement") with the Buyers, pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration
statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") registering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and exercise of the no later than the tenth day following the Company's filing of its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC no later than 60
calendar days after the initial closing date (or 120 calendar days if subject to a full review by the SEC). The Preferred Stock Registration
Rights Agreement provides for the payment of certain cash penalties to the Buyers in the event the Company fails to satisfy its registration
obligations thereunder.
The
closing of the Private Placement is expected to take place on our about March 31, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary
closing conditions. The gross proceeds of the Private Placement are expected to be $9,129,200, prior to the deduction of any fees and
expenses. The gross proceeds of the Private Placement include the exchange of an aggregate of $3,750,000 which were valued at a premium
of 120% or an aggregate of $4,500,000 in accordance with the terms of the Notes. The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the
Private Placement for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The
foregoing descriptions of the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, the Warrants, and the Preferred Stock Registration Rights Agreement
are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, copies of which are filed as Exhibits
10.1, 4.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein.
Equity Line of Credit
On March 30, 2026, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase
Agreement (the "ELOC Purchase Agreement") with an equity line investor (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Company
has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to the Investor, and the Investor is obligated to purchase, up to the lesser of (a) $500,000,000
and (b) 19.99% of the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date of the ELOC Purchase Agreement, 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 the ELOC Purchase Agreement under applicable rules
of the Trading Market (as defined under the ELOC Purchase Agreement), (unless stockholder approval is obtained or applicable sales qualify
as "at market" under applicable rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC), from time to time during the period commencing on the
effective date of a registration statement registering the resale of shares issuable under the ELOC Purchase Agreement and ending upon
termination of the ELOC Purchase Agreement. Sales of Common Stock to the Investor under the ELOC Purchase Agreement, if any, will be made
by the Company at its sole discretion from time to time by delivering purchase notices to the Investor (each, a "VWAP Purchase").
The purchase price per share for each VWAP Purchase will be equal to 90% of the lesser of (i) the lowest sale price of the Common Stock
on the applicable purchase date and (ii) the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock during the applicable purchase period.
The Investor's aggregate committed obligation under any single VWAP Purchase shall not exceed $5,000,000. The ELOC Purchase Agreement
prohibits the Company from issuing shares to the Investor to the extent such shares, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock
then beneficially owned by the Investor and its affiliates, would cause the Investor's beneficial ownership to exceed 4.99% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock.
The
ELOC Purchase Agreement requires stockholder approval (the "ELOC Stockholder Approval") to the approve the issuance of shares
of Common Stock to the Investor in excess of 4,220,772 shares (representing 19.99% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the
date of the ELOC Purchase Agreement) in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d). The Company expects to seek the ELOC Stockholder
Approval concurrently with the Preferred Stock Stockholder Approval. Within two business days following the increase in authorized shares
of Common Stock contemplated by the Preferred Stock Stockholder Approval, the Company is required to confirm that an aggregate of 1,000,000,000
shares of Common Stock have been reserved for issuance under the ELOC Purchase Agreement.
As
consideration for the Investor's irrevocable commitment to purchase shares of Common Stock under the ELOC Purchase Agreement, the Company
agreed to issue to the Investor 10,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the "Commitment Shares"). Pursuant to the ELOC
Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to use 25% of the gross proceeds from any sale of shares of Common Stock under the ELOC Purchase
Agreement towards the redemption of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the Company's optional redemption provisions
thereof, including any stated premiums thereon.
In
connection with the ELOC Purchase Agreement, on March 30, 2026, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the "ELOC
Registration Rights Agreement") with the Investor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the
SEC registering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable under the ELOC Purchase Agreement no later than the tenth day following
the Company's filing of its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and to use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC no later than the 60th calendar day following the filing
thereof (or, if not reviewed by the SEC, the third business day following notification that such registration statement will not be reviewed).
The
foregoing descriptions of the ELOC Purchase Agreement and the ELOC Registration Rights Agreement are not complete and are qualified in
their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, to
this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein.
Item 3.02 Unregistered
Sales of Equity Securities.
The
information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. The Series A
Preferred Stock, the Warrants and the Commitment Shares were offered and sold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities
Act, in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
Item 5.03 Amendments
to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On
March 30, 2026, the Company filed the Certificate of Designations with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, establishing
the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock. The Certificate of Designations became effective upon filing. The authorized number of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock is 31,412 shares, each with a par value of $0.0001 per share and a stated value of $1,000 per
share. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into shares of Common Stock
at a conversion rate determined by dividing the conversion amount by the conversion price of $0.5812 per share, with alternate conversion
options available following stockholder approval (at 90% of the lowest VWAP during the five preceding trading days) or upon a triggering
event (at 80% of such VWAP, with the conversion amount subject to a required premium of 125%), in each case subject to a 4.99% beneficial
ownership limitation (adjustable to 9.99% upon 61 days' prior written notice). Dividends are payable when and as declared by the Board
of Directors in its sole discretion, in cash, securities or other assets, on the stated value of each share, provided that upon the occurrence
and continuance of a triggering event, default dividends accrue at a rate of 15.0% per annum.
The
Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Common Stock and all other junior capital stock with respect to dividends, distributions
and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company. Upon a liquidation event, holders of Series A Preferred
Stock are entitled to receive, before any payment to holders of junior stock, an amount per share equal to the sum of (i) the Black-Scholes
value of the outstanding portion of all Warrants held by such holder and (ii) the greater of (A) 125% of the applicable conversion
amount and (B) the amount per share such holder would receive upon conversion immediately prior to such event; holders of Series A
Preferred Stock have no voting power except as required by the Delaware General Corporation Law or as set forth in the Certificate of
Designations with respect to certain protective matters requiring the consent of the Required Holders.
The
foregoing description of the Certificate of Designations is not complete and is qualified in its entirety to the full text of such document,
a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 8.01 Other Events
As previously disclosed, August 15, 2025, the Company was notified by the Listing Qualifications Staff
of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the Company’s securities were subject to delisting based upon the Company’s
non-compliance with the $2.5 million stockholders’ equity requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b) (the “Rule”).
The Company requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) to address the deficiency, which request stayed
any delisting action pending the issuance of the Panel’s decision following the hearing.
As a result of the Private Placement, the
Company believes it has stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company
awaits Nasdaq’s formal confirmation that it has regained compliance with the Rule and will provide a further update when appropriate.
Furthermore, Nasdaq will continue to monitor the Company’s ongoing compliance with the Rule and, if the Company’s next periodic
report does not evidence compliance with the Rule, the Company may again be subject to delisting.

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS OF RIGHTS AND PREFERENCES
OF
SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK OF
SMARTKEM, INC.
I, Barbra Keck, hereby certify
that I am the Chief Financial Officer of SMARTKEM, Inc., (the “Company”), a corporation organized and existing
under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), and further do hereby certify:
That pursuant to the authority
expressly conferred upon the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) by the Company’s Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), and Section 151(g) of the DGCL, the Board
on March 27, 2026 adopted the following resolution determining it desirable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders
for the Company to create a series of thirty-one thousand four hundred twelve (31,412) shares of preferred stock designated as “Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock”, none of which shares have been issued, to be issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement
(as defined below), in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement:
RESOLVED, that pursuant to
the authority vested in the Board, in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, a series of preferred stock,
par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company be and hereby is created pursuant to this certificate of designations (this “Certificate
of Designations”), and that the designation and number of shares established pursuant hereto and the voting and other powers,
preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights of the shares of such series and the qualifications, limitations and
restrictions thereof are as follows:
TERMS OF SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
1. Designation
and Number of Shares. There shall hereby be created and established a series of preferred stock of the Company designated as “Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”). The authorized number of shares
of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”) shall be thirty-one thousand four hundred twelve
(31,412) shares. Each Preferred Share shall have a par value of $0.0001 per share. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the
meaning as set forth in Section 32 below.
2. Ranking.
Except to the extent that the Required Holders (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) expressly consent to the creation of
Parity Stock (as defined below) or Senior Preferred Stock (as defined below) in accordance with Section 16, all shares of capital
stock of the Company shall be junior in rank to all Preferred Shares with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and
payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company (such junior stock is referred to herein collectively as “Junior
Stock”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Preferred Shares will, with respect to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding-up
and dissolution, rank (A) junior to the Senior Preferred Stock, (B) on parity with the Parity Stock and (C) senior to the
Junior Stock. The rights of all such shares of capital stock of the Company shall be subject to the rights, powers, preferences and privileges
of the Preferred Shares. Without limiting any other provision of this Certificate of Designations, without the prior express consent of
the Required Holders, voting separately as a single class, the Company shall not hereafter authorize or issue any additional or other
shares of capital stock that is (i) of senior rank to the Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to dividends, distributions
and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company (collectively, the “Senior Preferred Stock”),
(ii) of pari passu rank to the Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the
liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company (collectively, the “Parity Stock”) or (iii) any Junior
Stock having a maturity date or any other date requiring redemption or repayment of such shares of Junior Stock that is prior to the second
anniversary of the Initial Issuance Date (as defined below). In the event of the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
corporation, the Preferred Shares shall maintain their relative rights, powers, designations, privileges and preferences provided for
herein and no such merger or consolidation shall result inconsistent therewith.
3. Dividends.
(a) In
addition to Section 7, Section 8 and/or Section 15 below, as applicable, subject to the senior rights of the Senior Preferred
Stock, and pari passu with the holders of shares of Parity Stock, from and after the first date of issuance of any Preferred Shares (the
“Initial Issuance Date”), each holder of a Preferred Share (each, a “Holder” and collectively, the
“Holders”) shall be entitled to receive dividends (“Dividends”) when and as declared by the Board,
from time to time, in its sole discretion, which Dividends shall be paid by the Company out of funds legally available therefor, payable,
subject to the conditions and other terms hereof, in cash, in securities of the Company or any other entity, or using assets as determined
by the Board on the Stated Value of such Preferred Share.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Triggering Event (as defined below), dividends ( “Default
Dividends”) shall accrue on the Stated Value of each Preferred Share at a rate of fifteen percent (15.0%) (the “Default
Rate”) per annum computed on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day months. Default Dividends shall be payable by way
of inclusion of Default Dividends in the Conversion Amount (as defined below) on each Conversion Date (as defined below) in accordance
with Section 4(b) or upon any redemption in accordance with Section 9 or as otherwise provided herein. In the event that
such Triggering Event is subsequently cured (and no other Triggering Event then exists), the accrual of Default Dividends referred to
in the preceding sentence shall cease to be effective as of the calendar day immediately following the date of such cure; provided that
Default Dividends as calculated and unpaid during the continuance of such Triggering Event shall continue to apply to the extent relating
to the days after the occurrence of such Triggering Event through and including the date of such cure of such Triggering Event.
4. Conversion.
At any time after the Initial Issuance Date, each Preferred Share shall be convertible into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable
shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4.
2
(a) Holder’s
Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(d), at any time or times on or after the Initial Issuance Date, each
Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding Preferred Shares held by such Holder into validly issued, fully paid
and non-assessable Conversion Shares in accordance with Section 4(c) at the Conversion Rate (as defined below). The Company
shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction
of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share. The Company
shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses
of the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”)) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and
delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of any Preferred Shares.
(b) Conversion
Rate. Except as otherwise provided herein, the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of any Preferred Share pursuant
to this Section 4 shall be determined by dividing (x) the Conversion Amount of such Preferred Share by (y) the Conversion
Price (as defined below) (the “Conversion Rate”).
(i) For
purposes of this Certificate of Designations, the term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to each Preferred Share,
as of the applicable date of determination, the sum of (1) the Stated Value thereof plus (2) any Additional Amount thereon
as of such date of determination plus (3) any other amounts owed to such Holder pursuant to this Certificate of Designations
or any other Transaction Document.
(ii) For
purposes of this Certificate of Designations, the term “Conversion Price” means, with respect to each Preferred Share,
as of any Conversion Date or other date of determination, $0.5812, subject to adjustment as provided herein.
3
(c) Mechanics

(i) Optional
Conversion. To convert one or more Preferred Shares into Conversion Shares on any date (a “Conversion Date”), a
Holder shall deliver (whether via electronic mail or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on such date, a
copy of an executed notice of conversion of the Preferred Share(s) subject to such conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I
(the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company. If required by Section 4(c)(ii), within two (2) Trading Days following
a conversion of any such Preferred Shares as aforesaid, such Holder shall surrender to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service
for delivery to the Company the original certificates, if any, representing the Preferred Shares (the “Preferred Share Certificates”)
so converted as aforesaid (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to the Preferred Shares in the case of its loss, theft or destruction
as contemplated by Section 18(b)). On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion
Notice, the Company shall transmit by electronic mail an acknowledgment of confirmation and representation as to whether such shares of
Common Stock may then be resold pursuant to Rule 144 (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or an effective and available
registration statement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II, of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such Holder
and the Transfer Agent, which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in
accordance with the terms set forth herein. On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following each date on which the Company
has received a Conversion Notice (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the 1934 Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation
for the settlement of a trade initiated on the applicable Conversion Date of such Conversion Shares issuable pursuant to such Conversion
Notice) (the “Share Delivery Deadline”), the Company shall (1) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating
in The Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (“FAST”)
and such shares of Common Stock are eligible for resale by such Holder pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to an effective Registration
Statement (the “Unrestricted Resale Conditions”), credit such aggregate number of Conversion Shares to which such Holder
shall be entitled pursuant to such conversion to such Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal
at Custodian system, or (2) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST or the Unrestricted Resale Conditions are not satisfied,
upon the request of such Holder, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as specified in such Conversion Notice,
a certificate, registered in the name of such Holder or its designee, for the number of Conversion Shares to which such Holder shall be
entitled. If the number of Preferred Shares represented by the Preferred Share Certificate(s) submitted for conversion pursuant to
Section 4(c)(iii) is greater than the number of Preferred Shares being converted, then the Company shall, as soon as practicable
and in no event later than one (1) Trading Day after receipt of the Preferred Share Certificate(s) and at its own expense, issue
and deliver to such Holder (or its designee) by overnight courier service a new Preferred Share Certificate or a new Book-Entry (in either
case, in accordance with Section 18(d)) representing the number of Preferred Shares not converted. The Person or Persons entitled
to receive the Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion of Preferred Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder
or holders of such Conversion Shares on the Conversion Date; provided, that such Person shall be deemed to have waived any voting rights
of any such Conversion Shares during the period commencing on such Conversion Date, through, and including, such applicable Share Delivery
Deadline (each, a “Conversion Period”), as necessary, such that the aggregate voting rights of any shares of Common
Stock (including such Conversion Shares) beneficially owned by such Person and/or any of its Attribution Parties, collectively, on any
such date of determination shall not exceed the Maximum Percentage (as defined below) as a result of any such conversion of such applicable
Preferred Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder delivers a Conversion Notice to the Company prior to the date of issuance
of Preferred Shares to such Holder, whereby such Holder elects to convert such Preferred Shares pursuant to such Conversion Notice, the
Share Delivery Deadline with respect to any such Conversion Notice shall be the later of (x) the date of issuance of such Preferred
Shares and (y) the first (1st) Trading Day after the date of such Conversion Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Certificate of Designations or the Registration Rights Agreement, after the effective date of a Registration Statement (as defined
in the Registration Rights Agreement) and prior to a Holder’s receipt of the notice of a Grace Period (as defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement), the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to such Holder (or its designee)
in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) with respect to which such Holder
has entered into a contract for sale, and delivered a copy of the prospectus included as part of the particular Registration Statement
to the extent applicable, and for which such Holder has not yet settled.

(ii) Company’s
Failure to Timely Convert. If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery
Deadline, either (I) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST or the Unrestricted Resale Conditions are not satisfied,
to issue and deliver to such Holder (or its designee) a certificate for the number of Conversion Shares to which such Holder is entitled
and register such Conversion Shares on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST and the Unrestricted
Resale Conditions are satisfied, to credit such Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC for such number of Conversion
Shares to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount (as the case may be) or (II) if
the Registration Statement covering the resale of the Conversion Shares that are the subject of the Conversion Notice (the “Unavailable
Conversion Shares”) is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Conversion Shares and the Company fails to promptly,
but in no event later than as required pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (x) notify such Holder and (y) deliver
the shares of Common Stock electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
to which such Holder is entitled pursuant to such conversion to such Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through
its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system (the event described in the immediately foregoing clause (II) is hereinafter referred
to as a “Notice Failure” and together with the event described in clause (I) above, a “Conversion Failure”),
and if on or after such Share Delivery Deadline such Holder acquires (in an open market transaction, stock loan or otherwise) shares of
Common Stock corresponding to all or any portion of the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion that such Holder is
entitled to receive from the Company and has not received from the Company in connection with such Conversion Failure or Notice Failure,
as applicable (a “Buy-In”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Holder, the Company shall, within
two (2) Business Days after receipt of such Holder’s request and in such Holder’s discretion, either: (I) pay cash
to such Holder in an amount equal to such Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, stock loan costs and other
out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so acquired (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect,
or on behalf, of such Holder) (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so issue and deliver
such certificate (and to issue such Conversion Shares) or credit to the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee,
as applicable, with DTC for the number of Conversion Shares to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion hereunder
(as the case may be) (and to issue such Conversion Shares) shall terminate, or (II) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and
deliver to such Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Conversion Shares or credit the balance account of such Holder
or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of Conversion Shares to which such Holder is entitled upon such
Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to such Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the
Buy-In Price over the product of (x) such number of shares of Common Stock multiplied by (y) the lowest Closing Sale Price of
the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the applicable Conversion Notice and ending on the date
of such issuance and payment under this clause (II) (each, a “Buy-In Payment Amount”). In addition to the foregoing,
if on or prior to the Share Delivery Deadline either (A) the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST or the Unrestricted Resale
Conditions are not satisfied, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver to such Holder (or its designee) a certificate and register
such Conversion Shares on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in the FAST and the Unrestricted
Resale Conditions are satisfied, the Transfer Agent shall fail to credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee,
as applicable, with DTC for the number of Conversion Shares to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion hereunder
or pursuant to the Company’s obligation pursuant to clause (ii) below or (B) a Notice Failure occurs, then, in addition
to all other remedies available to such Holder, (X) the Company shall pay in cash to such Holder on each day after the Share Delivery
Deadline that the issuance of such Conversion Shares is not timely effected an amount equal to 2% of the product of (A) the sum of
the number of Conversion Shares not issued to such Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Deadline and to which such Holder is entitled,
multiplied by (B) any trading price of the Common Stock selected by such Holder in writing as in effect at any time during the period
beginning on the applicable Conversion Date and ending on the applicable Share Delivery Deadline and (Y) such Holder, upon written
notice to the Company, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, all, or any portion,
of such Preferred Shares that has not been converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice; provided that the voiding of a Conversion Notice
shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to
this Section 4(c)(ii) or otherwise. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available
to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect
to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing Conversion Shares (or to electronically deliver such Conversion
Shares) upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares as required pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
with respect to any given Notice Failure and/or Conversion Failure, as applicable, this Section 4(c)(ii) shall not apply to
a Holder to the extent the Company has already paid such amounts in full to such Holder with respect to such Notice Failure and/or Conversion
Failure, as applicable, pursuant to the analogous sections of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
5
(iii) Registration;
Book-Entry. At the time of issuance of any Preferred Shares hereunder, the applicable Holder may, by written request (including by
electronic-mail) to the Company, elect to receive such Preferred Shares in the form of one or more Preferred Share Certificates or in
Book-Entry form. The Company (or the Transfer Agent, as custodian for the Preferred Shares) shall maintain a register (the “Register”)
for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Holders of each Preferred Share and the Stated Value of the Preferred Shares and
whether the Preferred Shares are held by such Holder in Preferred Share Certificates or in Book-Entry form (the “Registered Preferred
Shares”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The Company and
each Holder of the Preferred Shares shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Preferred Share for
all purposes (including, without limitation, the right to receive payments and Dividends hereunder) notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
A Registered Preferred Share may be assigned, transferred or sold only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register. Upon
its receipt of a written request to assign, transfer or sell one or more Registered Preferred Shares by such Holder thereof, the Company
shall record the information contained therein in the Register and issue one or more new Registered Preferred Shares in the same aggregate
Stated Value as the Stated Value of the surrendered Registered Preferred Shares to the designated assignee or transferee pursuant to Section 18,
provided that if the Company does not so record an assignment, transfer or sale (as the case may be) of such Registered Preferred Shares
within two (2) Business Days of such a request, then the Register shall be automatically deemed updated to reflect such assignment,
transfer or sale (as the case may be). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 4, following conversion
of any Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, the applicable Holder shall not be required to physically surrender such
Preferred Shares held in the form of a Preferred Share Certificate to the Company unless (A) the full or remaining number of Preferred
Shares represented by the applicable Preferred Share Certificate are being converted (in which event such certificate(s) shall be
delivered to the Company as contemplated by this Section 4(c)(iii)) or (B) such Holder has provided the Company with prior written
notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of Preferred Shares upon physical surrender of the
applicable Preferred Share Certificate. Each Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Stated Value and Dividends converted
and/or paid (as the case may be) and the dates of such conversions and/or payments (as the case may be) or shall use such other method,
reasonably satisfactory to such Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of a Preferred Share Certificate upon
conversion. If the Company does not update the Register to record such Stated Value and Dividends converted and/or paid (as the case may
be) and the dates of such conversions and/or payments (as the case may be) within one (1) Business Day of such occurrence, then the
Register shall be automatically deemed updated to reflect such occurrence. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of
the Company establishing the number of Preferred Shares to which the record holder is entitled shall be controlling and determinative
in the absence of manifest error. A Holder and any transferee or assignee, by acceptance of a certificate, acknowledge and agree that,
by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of any Preferred Shares, the number of Preferred Shares represented
by such certificate may be less than the number of Preferred Shares stated on the face thereof. Each Preferred Share Certificate shall
bear the following legend:
6
ANY TRANSFEREE OR ASSIGNEE OF THIS CERTIFICATE
SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS OF THE CORPORATION’S CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE SHARES OF SERIES A CONVERTIBLE
PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE, INCLUDING SECTION 4(c)(iii) THEREOF. THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF SERIES A
CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE LESS THAN THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED
STOCK STATED ON THE FACE HEREOF PURSUANT TO SECTION 4(c)(iii) OF THE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE SHARES OF SERIES
A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE.
(iv) Pro
Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event that the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one Holder for the same Conversion
Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such Preferred Shares submitted for conversion, the Company shall convert from
each Holder electing to have Preferred Shares converted on such date a pro rata amount of such Holder’s Preferred Shares submitted
for conversion on such date based on the number of Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date by such Holder relative to the
aggregate number of Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date. In the event of a dispute as to the number of Conversion Shares
issuable to a Holder in connection with a conversion of Preferred Shares, the Company shall issue to such Holder the number of Conversion
Shares not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 23. If a Conversion Notice delivered to the Company would
result in a breach of Section 4(d) below, and the applicable Holder does not elect in writing to withdraw, in whole, such Conversion
Notice, the Company shall hold such Conversion Notice in abeyance until such time as such Conversion Notice may be satisfied without violating
Section 4(d) below (with such calculations thereunder made as of the date such Conversion Notice was initially delivered to
the Company).
7
(d) Limitation
on Beneficial Ownership; Principal Market Regulation.
(i) The
Company shall not effect the conversion of any of the Preferred Shares held by a Holder, and such Holder shall not have the right to convert
any of the Preferred Shares held by such Holder pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Certificate of Designations and any such
conversion shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, such Holder
together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”)
of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. For purposes of the foregoing sentence,
the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number
of shares of Common Stock held by such Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of the Preferred Shares with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares
of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted Preferred Shares beneficially owned by
such Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of
any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes, convertible preferred stock or warrants, including
the Preferred Shares and the Warrants) beneficially owned by such Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion
or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 4(d). For purposes of this Section 4(d), beneficial ownership
shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. For the avoidance of doubt, the calculation of the Maximum
Percentage shall take into account the concurrent exercise and/or conversion, as applicable, of the unexercised or unconverted portion
of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such Holder and/or any other Attribution Party, as applicable. For purposes
of determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock a Holder may acquire upon the conversion of such Preferred Shares without
exceeding the Maximum Percentage, such Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the
Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other
public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written
notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent, if any, setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported
Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives a Conversion Notice from a Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall notify such Holder in writing of the number
of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Conversion Notice would otherwise cause such Holder’s beneficial
ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 4(d), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, such Holder must notify the Company of
a reduced number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to such Conversion Notice. For any reason at any time, upon the written
or oral request of any Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail
to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall
be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including such Preferred Shares, by such
Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that
the issuance of shares of Common Stock to a Holder upon conversion of such Preferred Shares results in such Holder and the other Attribution
Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so issued by which such Holder’s and the
other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”)
shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and such Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess
Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, any Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective
until the sixty-first (61st) day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage of such Holder to any other
percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will
not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase
or decrease will apply only to such Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other Holder that is not an Attribution Party
of such Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable to a Holder pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of
Designations in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by such Holder for any purpose including
for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act. No prior inability to convert such Preferred Shares
pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent
determination of convertibility. The provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in
strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(d) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph (or any portion of this
paragraph) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 4(d) or
to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph
may not be amended, modified or waived and shall apply to a successor holder of such Preferred Shares.
8
(ii) The
Company shall not issue any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of any Preferred Shares (taken together with the issuance of Common
Stock upon the conversion of other Preferred Shares or exercise of Warrants and the Common Stock issued pursuant to the Permitted Equity
Line (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)) would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the Company
may issue without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules and regulations the listing rules of the Principal
Market (the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued without violating such rules and regulations, the “Exchange
Cap”), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company (A) obtains Stockholder Approval (as defined
in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or (B) obtains a written opinion from outside counsel to the Company that such approval is
not required, that opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Holder.. Until such approval or such written opinion is obtained, no
Holder shall be issued in the aggregate, upon conversion or exercise (as the case may be) of any Preferred Shares or Warrants or otherwise
pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Shares or the Warrants or the Permitted Equity Line, shares of Common Stock in an amount greater
than the product of (i) the Exchange Cap as of the Initial Issuance Date multiplied by (ii) the quotient of (1) the aggregate
number of Preferred Shares and Warrants issued to such Holder on the Initial Issuance Date divided by (2) the aggregate number of
shares of Preferred Shares and Warrants outstanding as of the Initial Issuance Date (with respect to each Holder, the “Exchange
Cap Allocation”). In the event that any Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holder’s Preferred Shares
or Warrants, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation with respect to such
portion of such Preferred Shares or Warrants so transferred, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee
with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap Allocation so allocated to such transferee. Upon conversion or exercise in full of a Holder’s
Preferred Shares and Warrants, the difference (if any) between such Holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of shares of
Common Stock actually issued to such Holder upon such Holder’s conversion or exercise in full of such Preferred Shares and Warrants
shall be allocated, to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining holders of Preferred Shares and Warrants on a pro rata
basis in proportion to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Preferred Shares and Warrants of the Company then held by each such Holder,
as applicable.
9
(e) Right
of Alternate Conversion.
(i) General.
(1) Alternate
Optional Conversion. Subject to Section 4(d), after the Stockholder Approval Date (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement),
at any time, at the option of the Holder, the Holder may convert (each, an “Alternate Optional Conversion”, and the
date of such Alternate Optional Conversion, an “Alternate Optional Conversion Date”) all, or any number of Preferred
Shares held by such Holder into shares of Common Stock (such aggregate Conversion Amount of the Preferred Shares subject to such Alternate
Optional Conversion, the “Alternate Optional Conversion Amount”) at the Alternate Optional Conversion Price.
(2) Alternate
Triggering Event Conversion. Subject to Section 4(d), after the Stockholder Approval Date, at any time after the earlier of a
Holder’s receipt of a Triggering Event Notice (as defined below) and such Holder becoming aware of a Triggering Event (such earlier
date, the “Alternate Conversion Right Commencement Date”) and ending (such ending date, the “Alternate Conversion
Right Expiration Date”, and each such period, an “Alternate Conversion Right Period”) on the twentieth (20th)
Trading Day after the later of (x) the date such Triggering Event is cured and (y) such Holder’s receipt of a Triggering
Event Notice that includes (I) a reasonable description of the applicable Triggering Event, (II) a certification as to whether,
in the reasonable opinion of the Company, such Triggering Event is capable of being cured and, if applicable, a reasonable description
of any existing plans of the Company to cure such Triggering Event and (III) a certification as to the date the Triggering Event
occurred and, if cured on or prior to the date of such Triggering Event Notice, the applicable Alternate Conversion Right Expiration Date,
such Holder may, at such Holder’s option, by delivery of a Conversion Notice to the Company (the date of any such Conversion Notice,
each an “Alternate Triggering Event Conversion Date” and together with each Alternate Optional Conversion Date, each,
an “Alternate Conversion Date”), convert (each an “Alternate Triggering Event Conversion”, and together
with each Alternate Optional Conversion, each an “Alternate Conversion”) all, or any number of Preferred Shares held
by such Holder (such Conversion Amount of the Preferred Shares to be converted pursuant to this Section 4(e)(i)(2), the “Alternate
Triggering Event Conversion Amount” and together with each Alternate Optional Conversion Amount, each, an “Alternate
Conversion Amount”) into shares of Common Stock at the Alternate Triggering Event Conversion Price.
10
(ii) Mechanics
of Alternate Conversion. On any Alternate Conversion Date, a Holder may voluntarily convert any number of Preferred Shares held by
such Holder pursuant to Section 4(c) (with the applicable “Alternate Conversion Price” replacing “Conversion
Price” for all purposes hereunder with respect to such Alternate Conversion and, solely with respect to the calculation of the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount in an Alternate Triggering Event Conversion, with “the
applicable Required Premium multiplied by the Conversion Amount” replacing “Conversion Amount” in clause (x) of
the definition of Conversion Rate in Section 4(b) above with respect to such Alternate Conversion) by designating in the Conversion
Notice delivered pursuant to this Section 4(e)(ii) of this Certificate of Designations that such Holder is electing to use the
Alternate Conversion Price for such conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(e)(ii) but subject
to Section 4(d), until the Company delivers to such Holder the shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled pursuant to
the applicable Alternate Conversion of such Holder’s Preferred Shares, such Preferred Shares may be converted by such Holder into
shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 4(c) without regard to this Section 4(e)(ii). In the event of an Alternate Conversion
pursuant to this Section 4(e)(ii) of all, or any portion, of any Preferred Shares of a Holder, such Holder’s damages would
be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of
the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for such Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 4(e)(ii),
together the Alternate Conversion Price used in such Alternate Conversion, as applicable, is intended by the parties to be, and shall
be deemed, a reasonable estimate of, such Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.
5. Triggering
Events.
(a) General.
Each of the following events shall constitute a “Triggering Event” and each of the events in clauses 5(a)(ix), 5(a)(x),

announcement or through any of its agents, at any time, of its intention not to comply, as required, with a request for exercise of any

shares of Common Stock that is requested in accordance with the provisions of this Certificate of Designations, other than pursuant to
Section 4(d) hereof;

of the number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder would be entitled to receive upon a conversion, in full, of all of the Preferred
Shares then held by such Holder (assuming conversions at the Alternate Conversion Price then in effect without regard to any limitations
on conversion set forth in this Certificate of Designations) and (B) 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder
would then be entitled to receive upon exercise in full of such Holder’s Warrants (without regard to any limitations on exercise
set forth in the Warrants);
12
(vi) the
Company fails to remove any restrictive legend on any certificate or any shares of Common Stock issued to the applicable Holder upon conversion

(x) the
commencement by the Company or any Subsidiary of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal, state or foreign bankruptcy,

by it to the entry of a decree, order, judgment or other similar document in respect of the Company or any Subsidiary in an involuntary
case or proceeding under any applicable federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the

document appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or any
Subsidiary or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of

as the Company provides each Holder a written statement from such insurer or indemnity provider (which written statement shall be reasonably
satisfactory to each Holder) to the effect that such judgment is covered by insurance or an indemnity and the Company or such Subsidiary
(as the case may be) will receive the proceeds of such insurance or indemnity within thirty (30) days of the issuance of such judgment;
(xiii) the
Company and/or any Subsidiary, individually or in the aggregate, either (i) fails to pay, when due, or within any applicable grace
period, any payment with respect to any Indebtedness in excess of $500,000 due to any third party (other than, with respect to unsecured
Indebtedness only, payments contested by the Company and/or such Subsidiary (as the case may be) in good faith by proper proceedings and
with respect to which adequate reserves have been set aside for the payment thereof in accordance with GAAP) or is otherwise in breach
or violation of any agreement for monies owed or owing in an amount in excess of $500,000, which breach or violation permits the other

binding the Company or any Subsidiary, which default or event of default would or is likely to have a material adverse effect on the business,

(b) Notice
of a Triggering Event. Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event with respect to the Preferred Shares, the Company shall within two
(2) Business Days deliver written notice thereof via electronic mail and overnight courier (with next day delivery specified) (a
“Triggering Event Notice”) to each Holder.
15
(c) Mandatory
Redemption upon Bankruptcy Triggering Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and notwithstanding any conversion that
is then required or in process, upon any Bankruptcy Triggering Event, the Company shall immediately redeem, in cash, each of the Preferred
Shares then outstanding at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) the product of (A) the Conversion Amount to be redeemed
multiplied by (B) the Required Premium and (ii) the product of (X) the Conversion Rate (calculated using the lowest Alternate
Conversion Price during the period commencing on the 20th Trading Day immediately preceding such public announcement and ending on the
date the Company makes the entire redemption payment pursuant to this Section 5(c)) with respect to the Conversion Amount in effect
immediately following the date of initial public announcement (or public filing of bankruptcy documents, as applicable) of such Bankruptcy
Triggering Event multiplied by (Y) the product of (1) the Required Premium multiplied by (2) the greatest Closing Sale
Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date immediately preceding such Bankruptcy Triggering
Event and ending on the date the Company makes the entire payment required to be made under this Section 5(c), without the requirement
for any notice or demand or other action by any Holder or any other person or entity, provided that a Holder may, in its sole discretion,
waive such right to receive payment upon a Bankruptcy Triggering Event, in whole or in part, and any such waiver shall not affect any
other rights of such Holder or any other Holder hereunder, including any other rights in respect of such Bankruptcy Triggering Event or
any right to conversion (or Alternate Conversion), as applicable.
6. Rights
Upon Fundamental Transactions.
(a) Assumption.
The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations
of the Company under this Certificate of Designations and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6
pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders, including agreements to deliver
to each holder of Preferred Shares in exchange for such Preferred Shares a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument
substantially similar in form and substance to this Certificate of Designations, including, without limitation, having a stated value
and dividend rate equal to the stated value and dividend rate of the Preferred Shares held by the Holders and having similar ranking to
the Preferred Shares, and reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor
Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this
Certificate of Designations and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor
Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Certificate
of Designations and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein
and therein. In addition to the foregoing, upon consummation of a Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to each
Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion or redemption of the Preferred Shares at any time after the consummation
of such Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such
items still issuable under Sections 7 and 15, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the conversion or redemption
of the Preferred Shares prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of the publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of
the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) which each Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental
Transaction had all the Preferred Shares held by each Holder been converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without
regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Preferred Shares contained in this Certificate of Designations), as adjusted in accordance
with the provisions of this Certificate of Designations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Holder may elect, at its sole option, by
delivery of written notice to the Company to waive this Section 6 to permit the Fundamental Transaction without the assumption of
the Preferred Shares. The provisions of this Section 6 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and
shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of the Preferred Shares.
16
(b) Notice
of a Change of Control; Change of Control Election Notice. No sooner than the earlier of (x) twenty (20) Trading Days prior to
the consummation of a Change of Control or (y) the public announcement of the entry into an agreement with respect to a Change of
Control, nor later than ten (10) Trading Days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control (the “Change of Control Date”),
the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via electronic mail and overnight courier to each Holder (a “Change of Control
Notice”). At any time during the period beginning after a Holder’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice or such Holder
becoming aware of a Change of Control if a Change of Control Notice is not delivered to such Holder in accordance with the immediately
preceding sentence (as applicable) and ending on twenty (20) Trading Days after the later of (A) the date of consummation of such
Change of Control or (B) the date of receipt of such Change of Control Notice or (C) the date of the announcement of such Change
of Control, such Holder may require, by delivering written notice thereof (“Change of Control Election Notice”) to
the Company (which Change of Control Election Notice shall indicate the number of Preferred Shares subject to such election), to have
the Company exchange such Holder’s Preferred Shares designated in such Change of Control Election Notice for consideration equal
to the Change of Control Election Price (as defined below), to be satisfied at the Company’s election (such election to pay in cash
or by delivery of the Rights (as defined below), a “Consideration Election”), in either (I) rights (with a beneficial
ownership limitation in the form of Section 4(d) hereof, mutatis mutandis) (collectively, the “Rights”),
convertible in whole, or in part, at any time, without the requirement to pay any additional consideration, at the option of the Required
Holders, into such Corporate Event Consideration (as defined below) applicable to such Change of Control equal in value to the Change
of Control Election Price (as determined with the fair market value of the aggregate number of Successor Shares (as defined below) issuable
upon conversion of the Rights to be determined in increments of 10% (or such greater percentage as the applicable Holder may notify the
Company from time to time) of the portion of the Change of Control Election Price attributable to such Successor Shares (the “Successor
Share Value Increment”), with the aggregate number of Successor Shares issuable upon exercise of the Rights with respect to
the first Successor Share Value Increment determined based on 70% of the VWAP of the Successor Shares on the date the Rights are issued
and on each of the nine (9) subsequent Trading Days, in each case, the aggregate number of additional Successor Shares issuable upon
exercise of the Rights shall be determined based upon a Successor Share Value Increment at 70% of the VWAP of the Successor Shares in
effect for such corresponding Trading Day (such ten (10) Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the date the Rights are
issued, the “Rights Measuring Period”)), or (II) in cash; provided, that the Company shall not consummate a Change
of Control if the Corporate Event Consideration includes capital stock or other equity interest (the “Successor Shares”)
either in an entity that is not listed on an Eligible Market or an entity in which the daily share volume for the applicable Successor
Shares for each of the twenty (20) Trading Days prior to the date of consummation of such Change of Control is less than the aggregate
number of Successor Shares issuable to all Holders upon conversion in full of the applicable Rights (without regard to any limitations
on conversion therein, assuming the exercise in full of the Rights on the date of issuance of the Rights and assuming the VWAP of the
Successor Shares for each Trading Day in the Rights Measuring Period is the VWAP on the Trading Day ended immediately prior to the time
of consummation of the Change of Control). The Company shall give each Holder written notice of each Consideration Election at least twenty
(20) Trading Days prior to the time of consummation of such Change of Control. Payment of such amounts or delivery of the Rights, as applicable,
shall be made by the Company (or at the Company’s direction) to each Holder on the later of (x) the second (2nd) Trading Day
after the date of such request and (y) the date of consummation of such Change of Control (or, with respect to any Right, if applicable,
such later time that holders of shares of Common Stock are initially entitled to receive Corporate Event Consideration with respect to
the shares of Common Stock of such holder). Any Corporate Event Consideration included in the Rights, if any, pursuant to this Section 6(b) is
pari passu with the Corporate Event Consideration to be paid to holders of shares of Common Stock and the Company shall not permit
a payment of any Corporate Event Consideration to the holders of shares of Common Stock without on or prior to such time delivering the
Right to the Holders in accordance herewith. Cash payments, if any, required by this Section 6(b) shall have priority to payments
to all other stockholders of the Company in connection with such Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6(b),
but subject to Section 4(d), until the applicable Change of Control Election Price is paid in full to the applicable Holder in cash
or Corporate Event Consideration in accordance herewith, the Preferred Shares submitted by such Holder for exchange or payment, as applicable,
under this Section 6(b) may be converted, in whole or in part, by such Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 4 or
in the event the Conversion Date is after the consummation of such Change of Control, stock or equity interests of the Successor Entity
substantially equivalent to the Company’s shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 6. In the event of the Company’s
repayment or exchange, as applicable, of any of the Preferred Shares under this Section 6(b), such Holder’s damages would be
uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the
availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for a Holder. Accordingly, any Required Premium due under this Section 6(b) is
intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of such Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity
and not as a penalty. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in connection with any redemption hereunder at a time a Holder
is entitled to receive a cash payment under any of the other Transaction Documents, at the option of such Holder delivered in writing
to the Company, the applicable redemption price hereunder shall be increased by the amount of such cash payment owed to such Holder under
such other Transaction Document and, upon payment in full or conversion in accordance herewith, shall satisfy the Company’s payment
obligation under such other Transaction Document.
17
7. Rights
Upon Issuance of Purchase Rights and Other Corporate Events.
(a) Purchase
Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 8 and Section 15 below, if at any time the Company grants, issues
or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to all or substantially
all of the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then each Holder will be entitled to
acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such
Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of all the Preferred Shares (without taking into
account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Preferred Shares and assuming for such purpose that all the Preferred
Shares were converted at the Alternate Conversion Price as of the applicable record date) held by such Holder immediately prior to the
date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of
which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights; provided,
however, to the extent that such Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in such Holder and the other
Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then such Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to
such extent of the Maximum Percentage (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of
such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to such extent of any such excess) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held
in abeyance (and, if such Purchase Right has an expiration date, maturity date or other similar provision, such term shall be extended
by such number of days held in abeyance, if applicable) for the benefit of such Holder until such time or times, if ever, as its right
thereto would not result in such Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times such
Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent
Purchase Right held similarly in abeyance (and, if such Purchase Right has an expiration date, maturity date or other similar provision,
such term shall be extended by such number of days held in abeyance, if applicable)) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation.
(b) Other
Corporate Events. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental
Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or
in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure
that each Holder will thereafter have the right, at such Holder’s option, to receive upon a conversion of all the Preferred Shares
held by such Holder (i) such securities or other assets (the “Corporate Event Consideration”) to which such Holder
would have been entitled with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares of Common Stock been held by such Holder upon the
consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Preferred
Shares set forth in this Certificate of Designations) or (ii) in lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise receivable upon such
conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the consummation of such
Corporate Event in such amounts as such Holder would have been entitled to receive had the Preferred Shares held by such Holder initially
been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to shares of Common Stock) at a conversion rate for
such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Rate of an Alternate Conversion. Provision made pursuant the preceding sentence shall
be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders. The provisions of this Section 7 shall apply similarly
and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of the
Preferred Shares set forth in this Certificate of Designations.
18
8. Rights
Upon Issuance of Other Securities.
(a) [Reserved].
(b) Adjustment
of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. Without limiting any provision of Section 7 or Section 15,
if the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization
or other similar transaction) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. Without limiting any provision of Section 7
or Section 15, if the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination,
recapitalization or other similar transaction) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of
shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. Any adjustment pursuant
to this Section 8(b) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any
event requiring an adjustment under this Section 8(b) occurs during the period that a Conversion Price is calculated hereunder,
then the calculation of such Conversion Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.
(c) [Reserved].
(d) [Reserved].
(e) [Reserved].
(f) Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made by rounding to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share,
as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the
account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
(g) Voluntary
Adjustment by Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the Principal Market, the Company may at any time any Preferred
Shares remain outstanding, with the prior written consent of the Required Holders, reduce the then current Conversion Price to any amount
and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board.
(h) Exchange
Right. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Company or any of its Subsidiaries consummates any Subsequent Placement
(other than with respect to Excluded Securities (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)), and a Holder elects in writing to
the Company to participate in such Subsequent Placement, each such Holder may, at the option of such Holder as elected in writing to the
Company, exchange all, or any part, of the Preferred Shares of such Holder into the securities in such Subsequent Placement (with the
aggregate amount of such securities to be issued in such exchange equal to such aggregate amount of such securities with a purchase price
valued at 120% of the Conversion Amount of the Preferred Shares delivered by such Holder in exchange therefor).
19
(i) Conversion
Floor Price. Prior to the Stockholder Approval Date (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), no adjustment pursuant to this
Section 8 shall cause the Conversion Price to be less than $0.5812 (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination,
reclassification or similar transaction occurring after the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement) (the “Conversion Floor
Price”). Following the Stockholder Approval Date, no adjustment pursuant to this Section 8 shall cause the Conversion Price
to be less than $0.045 (20% of the Closing Sale Price on the Initial Closing Date).
9. Redemption
at the Company’s Election. At any time and from time to time, the Company shall have the right to redeem all, or any portion,
of the Preferred Shares then outstanding (such amount to be redeemed, a “Company Optional Redemption Amount”) on a
Company Optional Redemption Date (as defined below) (a “Company Optional Redemption”). The Preferred Shares subject
to redemption pursuant to this Section 9 shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price (the “Company Optional Redemption
Price”) equal to 125% of the greater of (i) the Conversion Amount being redeemed as of such Company Optional Redemption
Date and (ii) the product of (1) the Conversion Rate with respect to the Conversion Amount being redeemed as of such Company
Optional Redemption Date multiplied by (2) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period
commencing on the date immediately preceding such Company Optional Redemption Notice Date and ending on the Trading Day immediately prior
to the date the Company makes the entire payment for the applicable Company Optional Redemption Amount required to be made under this
Section 9. The Company may exercise its right to require redemption under this Section 9 from time to time by delivering a written
notice thereof by electronic mail and overnight courier to all, but not less than all, of the Holders (a “Company Optional Redemption
Notice” and the date all of the Holders received such notice is referred to as a “Company Optional Redemption Notice
Date”). Such Company Optional Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable; provided that such Company Optional Redemption Notice
may be conditioned upon the consummation of a refinancing transaction or a Going Private Transaction. A Company Optional Redemption Notice
shall (x) state the date on which the Company Optional Redemption shall occur (a “Company Optional Redemption Date”)
which date shall not be less than ten (10) Trading Days nor more than twenty (20) Trading Days following the applicable Company Optional
Redemption Notice Date, and (y) state the aggregate Conversion Amount of the Preferred Shares which is being redeemed in such Company
Optional Redemption from such Holder and all of the other Holders of the Preferred Shares pursuant to this Section 9 on such Company
Optional Redemption Date. The Company shall deliver the applicable Company Optional Redemption Price to each Holder in cash on the applicable
Company Optional Redemption Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at any time prior to the date the applicable Company
Optional Redemption Price is paid, in full, the Company Optional Redemption Amount may be converted, in whole or in part, by any Holder
into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 4. All Conversion Amounts so converted by a Holder after the applicable Company Optional
Redemption Notice Date shall reduce the Company Optional Redemption Amount of the Preferred Shares of such Holder required to be redeemed
on such Company Optional Redemption Date. In the event of the Company’s redemption of any of the Preferred Shares under this Section 9,
a Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest
rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for such Holder. Accordingly, any redemption
premium due under this Section 9 is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of such Holder’s
actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall have no right to effect
a Company Optional Redemption if any Triggering Event has occurred and continuing, but any Triggering Event shall have no effect upon
any Holder’s right to convert Preferred Shares in its discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Going Private
Transaction, the Company may effect a Company Optional Redemption under this Section 9, but with “Change of Control Election
Price” replacing “Company Optional Redemption Price” for all purposes in this Section 9 in connection therewith.
20
10. Noncircumvention.
The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws (as defined
below) or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Certificate
of Designations, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Certificate of Designations and take all action
as may be required to protect the rights of the Holders hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision
of this Certificate of Designations or the other Transaction Documents, the Company (a) shall not increase the par value of any shares
of Common Stock receivable upon the conversion of any Preferred Shares above the Conversion Price then in effect, (b) shall take
all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable
shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of Preferred Shares and (c) shall, so long as any Preferred Shares are outstanding, take
all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
effecting the conversion of the Preferred Shares, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary
to effect the conversion of the Preferred Shares then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on conversion contained herein).
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if after the sixty (60) calendar day anniversary of the Initial Issuance Date, each Holder
is not permitted to convert such Holder’s Preferred Shares in full for any reason (other than pursuant to restrictions set forth
in Section 4(d) hereof), the Company shall use its best efforts to promptly remedy such failure, including, without limitation,
obtaining such consents or approvals as necessary to effect such conversion into shares of Common Stock.
11. Authorized
Shares.
(a) Reservation.
So long as any Preferred Shares remain outstanding, the Company shall at all times reserve (x) if prior to the Stockholder Approval
Date, 60,000,000 shares of Common Stock or (y) from and after the Stockholder Approval Date, at least 200% of the number of shares
of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion, including without limitation, Alternate Conversions,
of all of the Preferred Shares then outstanding at the Alternate Conversion Price then in effect (without regard to any limitations on
conversions) (the “Required Reserve Amount”). The Required Reserve Amount (including, without limitation, each increase
in the number of shares so reserved) shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders based on the number of the Preferred Shares held by
each Holder on the Initial Issuance Date (and any Additional Preferred Shares (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) issued
thereafter) or increase in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be (the “Authorized Share Allocation”). In
the event that a Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holder’s Preferred Shares, each transferee shall be allocated
a pro rata portion of such Holder’s Authorized Share Allocation. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person
which ceases to hold any Preferred Shares shall be allocated to the remaining Holders of Preferred Shares, pro rata based on the number
of the Preferred Shares then held by the Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder may allocate its Authorized Share Allocation
to any other of the securities of the Company held by such Holder (or any of its designees) by delivery of a written notice to the Company.
21
(b) Insufficient
Authorized Shares. If, notwithstanding Section 11(a) and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the Preferred
Shares remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy
its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Shares at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the
Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary
to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required
Reserve Amount for the Preferred Shares then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable
after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such
Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized
shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use
its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board
of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal (or, if a majority of the voting power then in effect of
the capital stock of the Company consents to such increase, in lieu of such proxy statement, deliver to the stockholders of the Company
an information statement that has been filed with (and either approved by or not subject to comments from) the SEC with respect thereto).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any such time of an Authorized Share Failure, the Company is able to obtain the written consent of
a majority of the shares of its issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock to approve the increase in the number of authorized shares
of Common Stock, the Company may satisfy this obligation by obtaining such consent and submitting for filing with the SEC an Information
Statement on Schedule 14C. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing shares of Common Stock to a Holder upon any conversion
due to the failure by the Company to have sufficient shares of Common Stock available out of the authorized but unissued shares of Common
Stock (such unavailable number of shares of Common Stock, the “Authorized Failure Shares”), in lieu of delivering such
Authorized Failure Shares to such Holder, the Company shall pay cash in exchange for the redemption of such portion of the Conversion
Amount of the Preferred Shares convertible into such Authorized Failure Shares at a price equal to the sum of (i) the product of
(x) such number of Authorized Failure Shares and (y) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day
during the period commencing on the date such Holder delivers the applicable Conversion Notice with respect to such Authorized Failure
Shares to the Company and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this Section 11(b); and (ii) to the extent such
Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder
of Authorized Failure Shares, any brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any, of such Holder incurred in connection
therewith. Nothing contained in Section 11(a) or this Section 11(b) shall limit any obligations of the Company under
any provision of the Securities Purchase Agreement or Registration Rights Agreement.
22
12. Voting
Rights. The holders of the Preferred Shares shall have no voting power and no right to vote on any matter at any time, either as a
separate series or class or together with any other series or class of share of capital stock, and shall not be entitled to call a meeting
of such holders for any purpose nor shall they be entitled to participate in any meeting of the holders of Common Stock, except as provided

Liquidation Funds payable to such Holder and such holder of Parity Stock as a liquidation preference, in accordance with their respective
certificate of designations (or equivalent), as a percentage of the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to all holders of Preferred
Shares and all holders of shares of Parity Stock. To the extent necessary, the Company shall cause such actions to be taken by each of
its Subsidiaries so as to enable, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the proceeds of a Liquidation Event to be distributed to the

of return of capital or otherwise (including without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options
by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (the “Distributions”),
then each Holder, as holders of Preferred Shares, will be entitled to such Distributions as if such Holder had held the number of shares
of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of the Preferred Shares (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions
on the convertibility of the Preferred Shares and assuming for such purpose that the Preferred Share was converted at the Alternate Conversion
Price as of the applicable record date) immediately prior to the date on which a record is taken for such Distribution or, if no such
record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for such Distributions (provided,
however, that to the extent that such Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in such Holder
and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then such Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution
to such extent of the Maximum Percentage (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result
of such Distribution (and beneficial ownership) to such extent of any such excess) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held
in abeyance for the benefit of such Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in such Holder and the other
Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times, if any, such Holder shall be granted such Distribution (and
any Distributions declared or made on such initial Distribution or on any subsequent Distribution held similarly in abeyance) to the same
extent as if there had been no such limitation).

16. Vote

consent of the holders of a greater number of shares is required by law or by another provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, without

Holders, voting together as a single class, the Company shall not: (a) amend or repeal any provision of, or add any provision to,
its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or file any certificate of designations or articles of amendment of any series of shares of
preferred stock, if such action would adversely alter or change in any respect the preferences, rights, privileges or powers, or restrictions
provided for the benefit of the Preferred Shares hereunder, regardless of whether any such action shall be by means of amendment to the
Certificate of Incorporation or by merger, consolidation or otherwise; (b) increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the authorized
number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; (c) without limiting any provision of Section 2, create or authorize
(by reclassification or otherwise) any new class or series of Senior Preferred Stock or Parity Stock; (d) purchase, repurchase or
redeem any shares of Junior Stock (other than pursuant to the terms of the Company’s equity incentive plans and options and other
equity awards granted under such plans (that have in good faith been approved by the Board)); (e) without limiting any provision
of Section 2, pay dividends or make any other distribution on any shares of any Junior Stock; (f) issue any Preferred Shares

will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of such Holder a new Preferred Share Certificate (in accordance with Section 18(d))
(or evidence of the transfer of such Book-Entry), registered as such Holder may request, representing the outstanding number of Preferred
Shares being transferred by such Holder and, if less than the entire outstanding number of Preferred Shares is being transferred, a new
Preferred Share Certificate (in accordance with Section 18(d)) to such Holder representing the outstanding number of Preferred Shares
not being transferred (or evidence of such remaining Preferred Shares in a Book-Entry for such Holder). Such Holder and any assignee,
by acceptance of the Preferred Share Certificate or evidence of Book-Entry issuance, as applicable, acknowledge and agree that, by reason
of the provisions of Section 4(c)(i) following conversion or redemption of any of the Preferred Shares, the outstanding number
of Preferred Shares represented by the Preferred Shares may be less than the number of Preferred Shares stated on the face of the Preferred
Shares.
28
(b) Lost,
Stolen or Mutilated Preferred Share Certificate. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of
the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Preferred Share Certificate (as to which a written certification and the indemnification
contemplated below shall suffice as such evidence), and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking
by the applicable Holder to the Company in customary and reasonable form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation
of such Preferred Share Certificate, the Company shall execute and deliver to such Holder a new Preferred Share Certificate (in accordance

(c) Preferred
Share Certificate and Book-Entries Exchangeable for Different Denominations and Forms. Each Preferred Share Certificate is exchangeable,
upon the surrender hereof by the applicable Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Preferred Share Certificate or Preferred

of the Preferred Shares in the original Preferred Share Certificate, and each such new Preferred Share Certificate and/or new Book-Entry,
as applicable, will represent such portion of such outstanding number of Preferred Shares from the original Preferred Share Certificate
as is designated in writing by such Holder at the time of such surrender. Each Book-Entry may be exchanged into one or more new Preferred
Share Certificates or split by the applicable Holder by delivery of a written notice to the Company into two or more new Book-Entries
(in accordance with Section 18(d)) representing, in the aggregate, the outstanding number of the Preferred Shares in the original
Book-Entry, and each such new Book-Entry and/or new Preferred Share Certificate, as applicable, will represent such portion of such outstanding
number of Preferred Shares from the original Book-Entry as is designated in writing by such Holder at the time of such surrender.

of New Preferred Share Certificate or Book-Entry. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Preferred Share Certificate or a
new Book-Entry pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations, such new Preferred Share Certificate or new Book-Entry (i) shall

Shares remaining outstanding (or in the case of a new Preferred Share Certificate or new Book-Entry being issued pursuant to Section 18(a) or
Section 18(c), the number of Preferred Shares designated by such Holder) which, when added to the number of Preferred Shares represented
by the other new Preferred Share Certificates or other new Book-Entry, as applicable, issued in connection with such issuance, does not
exceed the number of Preferred Shares remaining outstanding under the original Preferred Share Certificate or original Book-Entry, as
applicable, immediately prior to such issuance of new Preferred Share Certificate or new Book-Entry, as applicable, and (ii) shall
have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Preferred Share Certificate or in such new Book-Entry, as applicable, which

19. Remedies,
Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designations shall
be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Certificate of Designations and any of the other Transaction
Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit
any Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Certificate
of Designations. No failure on the part of a Holder to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by such Holder of any right, power or remedy preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. In addition, the exercise of any right or remedy of a
Holder at law or equity or under this Certificate of Designations or any of the documents shall not be deemed to be an election of such
Holder’s rights or remedies under such documents or at law or equity. The Company covenants to each Holder that there shall be no
characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect
to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by a Holder and shall not, except
as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). No failure on the part of
a Holder to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any
single or partial exercise by such Holder of any right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or remedy. In addition, the exercise of any right or remedy of any Holder at law or equity or under Preferred
Shares or any of the documents shall not be deemed to be an election of such Holder’s rights or remedies under such documents or
at law or equity. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holders
and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or
threatened breach, each Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to specific performance and/or temporary,
preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity
of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to
a Holder that is requested by such Holder to enable such Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions
of this Certificate of Designations.
20. Payment

this Certificate of Designations with respect to the Preferred Shares or to enforce the provisions of this Certificate of Designations
or (b) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of the Company or other proceedings affecting Company creditors’
rights and involving a claim under this Certificate of Designations, then the Company shall pay the costs reasonably incurred by such
Holder for such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding,
including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements. The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that no amounts
due under this Certificate of Designations with respect to any Preferred Shares shall be affected, or limited, by the fact that the purchase
price paid for each Preferred Share was less than the original Stated Value thereof.

Headings. This Certificate of Designations shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the Holders and shall not be construed
against any such Person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Certificate of Designations are for convenience of reference and shall
not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Certificate of Designations. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each
pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,”
“includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without
limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this
entire Certificate of Designations instead of just the provision in which they are found. Unless expressly indicated otherwise, all section
references are to sections of this Certificate of Designations. Terms used in this Certificate of Designations and not otherwise defined
herein, but defined in the other Transaction Documents, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms on the Initial Issuance Date in
such other Transaction Documents unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Required Holders.
22. Failure
or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of a Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further
exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized
representative of the waiving party. This Certificate of Designations shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all Holders
and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 22

such resolution no later than ten (10) Business Days immediately following the Dispute Submission Deadline. The fees and expenses
of such investment bank shall be borne by the party in whose favor the investment bank decides such dispute or, in the event that the
investment bank determines that the applicable calculation is in between the amounts submitted by the Company and such Holder, then half
of such fees and expenses shall be borne by the Company and half of such fees and expenses shall be borne by the Holder, and such investment
bank’s resolution of such dispute shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error.

(c) Any
amount due from the Company under this provision shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained

deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) taxes imposed on the net income of a
Holder by the jurisdiction in which such Holder is organized or where it has its principal lending office, (ii) with respect to any
payments made by the Company hereunder, taxes (including, but not limited to, backup withholding) to the extent such taxes are imposed
due to the failure of the applicable recipient of such payment to provide the Company with whichever (if any) is applicable of valid and
properly completed and executed IRS Forms W-9, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, and/or W-8IMY, when requested in writing by the Company, and
(iii) with respect to any payments made by the Company, taxes to the extent such taxes are imposed due to the failure of the applicable
recipient of such payment to comply with FATCA (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities,
collectively or individually, “Taxes”). If the Company shall be required to deduct or to withhold any Taxes from or
in respect of any amount payable hereunder or under any other Transaction Document:
35
(i) the
amount so payable shall be increased to the extent necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including

had no such deduction or withholding been made,
(ii) the
Company shall make such deduction or withholding,
(iii) the
Company shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, and
(iv) as

agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) each Indemnified Party harmless from and against Taxes or Other
Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 28)
paid by any Indemnified Party as a result of any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement of,
or otherwise with respect to, this Preferred Shares or any other Transaction Document, and any liability (including penalties, interest
and expenses for nonpayment, late payment or otherwise) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other
Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be paid within thirty (30) days from the date on which such Holder
makes written demand therefor, which demand shall identify the nature and amount of such Taxes or Other Taxes.
(c) If
the Company fails to perform any of its obligations under this Section 28, the Company shall indemnify such Holder for any taxes,
interest or penalties that may become payable as a result of any such failure. The obligations of the Company under this Section 28
shall survive the repayment and/or conversion, as applicable, in full of the Preferred Shares and all other amounts payable with respect
thereto.
36
(d) If
any Indemnified Party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which
it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 28 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 28),
it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 28
with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including taxes) of such Indemnified Party and
without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying
party, upon the request of such Indemnified Party, shall repay to such Indemnified Party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph
(d) (plus any penalties, interest, or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such Indemnified
Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (d),
in no event will the Indemnified Party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (d) the
payment of which would place the Indemnified Party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Indemnified Party would have been
in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification
payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph (d) shall not be construed to require
any Indemnified Party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to
the indemnifying party or any other Person.
29. Severability.
If any provision of this Certificate of Designations is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a
court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to
apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not
affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Certificate of Designations so long as this Certificate of Designations as so
modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the
prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations
or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties.
The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid
provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
30. Maximum
Payments. Without limiting Section 9(d) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, nothing contained herein shall be deemed to
establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event
that the rate of interest required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess
of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by the Company to the applicable Holder and thus refunded to the Company.

1. EXERCISE
OF WARRANT.
(a) Mechanics
of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(f)),
this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day after the six-month anniversary of the Issuance Date (an “Exercise Date”),
in whole or in part, by delivery (whether via facsimile or otherwise) of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A
(the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant. Within one (1) Trading Day
following an exercise of this Warrant as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Exercise
Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant was so exercised (the
“Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash or via wire transfer of immediately available funds if the Holder did not notify
the Company in such Exercise Notice that such exercise was made pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(d)). The
Holder shall not be required to deliver the original of this Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery
of an Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original
of this Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. Execution and
delivery of an Exercise Notice for all of the then-remaining Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original
of this Warrant after delivery of the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. On or before the first (1st) Trading
Day following the date on which the Company has received an Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile or electronic mail
an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of such Exercise Notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, to
the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), which confirmation shall constitute an instruction
to the Transfer Agent to process such Exercise Notice in accordance with the terms herein. On or before the first (1st) Trading
Day following the date on which the Company has received such Exercise Notice (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the 1934
Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade of such Warrant Shares initiated on the applicable
Exercise Date), the Company shall (X) provided such Warrant Shares issuable pursuant to such Exercise Notice are eligible for resale
by such Holder pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Act or pursuant to an effective Registration Statement (the “Unrestricted
Resale Conditions”) and that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)
Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (“FAST”), upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number
of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance
account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the FAST
or the Unrestricted Resale Conditions are not satisfied, upon the request of the Holder, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier)
to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number
of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of an Exercise Notice and payment
in full of the applicable Exercise Price (unless this Warrant is exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise), the Holder shall be deemed
for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised,
irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates
evidencing such Warrant Shares (as the case may be); provided, that the Holder shall be deemed to have waived any voting rights of any
such Warrant Shares during the period commencing on such Exercise Date, through, and including, such applicable Share Delivery Date (as
defined below) (each, an “Exercise Period”), as necessary, such that the aggregate voting rights of any Common Stock
(including such Warrant Shares) beneficially owned by the Holder and/or any Attribution Parties, collectively, on any such date of determination
shall not exceed the Maximum Percentage (as defined below) as a result of any such exercise of this Warrant. If this Warrant is submitted
in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant
submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise and upon surrender of this Warrant
to the Company by the Holder, then, at the request of the Holder, the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than
one (1) Business Day after any exercise and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a new Warrant
(in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior
to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional
shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued
shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes, costs
and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent) that may be payable with respect to the issuance
and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except in the case where an exercise of
this Warrant is validly made pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, the Company’s failure to deliver Warrant Shares to the Holder on
or prior to the later of (i) one (1) Trading Day after receipt of the applicable Exercise Notice (or such earlier date as required
pursuant to the 1934 Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade of such Warrant Shares initiated
on the applicable Exercise Date) and (ii) one (1) Trading Day after the Company’s receipt of the Aggregate Exercise Price
(or valid notice of a Cashless Exercise) (such later date, the “Share Delivery Date”) shall not be deemed to be a
breach of this Warrant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant or the Registration Rights Agreement, after
the effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and prior to the Holder’s receipt
of the notice of a Grace Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to deliver
unlegended shares of Common Stock to the Holder (or its designee) in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities (as defined in
the Registration Rights Agreement) with respect to which the Holder has entered into a contract for sale, and delivered a copy of the
prospectus included as part of the particular Registration Statement to the extent applicable, and for which the Holder has not yet settled.
From the Issuance Date through and including the Expiration Date, the Company shall maintain a transfer agent that participates in FAST.

(b) Exercise
Price. For purposes of this Warrant, “Exercise Price” means $0.6135, subject to adjustment as provided herein.
(c) Company’s
Failure to Timely Deliver Securities. If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, on or prior to the Share Delivery
Date, either (I) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST or the Unrestricted Resale Conditions are not satisfied, to
issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled and
register such Warrant Shares on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST and the Unrestricted
Resale Conditions are satisfied, to credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee with DTC for such number
of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant (as the case may be) or (II) if
a Registration Statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares that are the subject of the Exercise Notice (the “Unavailable
Warrant Shares”) is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Warrant Shares and the Company fails to promptly, but
in no event later than as required pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (x) so notify the Holder and (y) deliver the
Warrant Shares electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder
is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal
At Custodian system (the event described in the immediately foregoing clause (II) is hereinafter referred as a “Notice
Failure” and together with the event described in clause (I) above, a “Delivery Failure”), then, in
addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, (X) the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after the Share
Delivery Date and during such Delivery Failure an amount equal to 2% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common
Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled, multiplied by (B) any
trading price of the Common Stock selected by the Holder in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the applicable
Exercise Date and ending on the applicable Share Delivery Date, and (Y) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void
its Exercise Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised
pursuant to such Exercise Notice; provided that the voiding of an Exercise Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to
make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1(c) or otherwise. In addition
to the foregoing, if on or prior to the Share Delivery Date either (I) the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST or the Unrestricted
Resale Conditions are not satisfied, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate and register
such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST and or the Unrestricted
Resale Conditions are satisfied, the Transfer Agent shall fail to credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee
with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder or pursuant
to the Company’s obligation pursuant to clause (ii) below or (II) a Notice Failure occurs, and if on or after such Share
Delivery Date the Holder acquires (in an open market transaction, stock loan or otherwise) shares of Common Stock corresponding to all
or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder is entitled to receive from the Company
and has not received from the Company in connection with such Delivery Failure or Notice Failure, as applicable (a “Buy-In”),
then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days after the Holder’s
request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase
price (including brokerage commissions, stock loan costs and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so
acquired (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) (the “Buy-In Price”),
at which point the Company’s obligation to so issue and deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) or
credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of Warrant Shares to
which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue such Warrant Shares) shall
terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing
such Warrant Shares or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number
of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to the
Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of Warrant Shares 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 applicable
Exercise Notice and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this clause (ii) (the “Buy-In Payment Amount”).
Nothing shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including,
without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver
certificates representing shares of Common Stock (or to electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock) upon the exercise of this
Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof. While this Warrant is outstanding, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to participate
in FAST. In addition to the foregoing rights, (i) if the Company fails to deliver the applicable number of Warrant Shares upon an
exercise pursuant to Section 1 by the applicable Share Delivery Date, then the Holder shall have the right to rescind such exercise
in whole or in part and retain and/or have the Company return, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised
pursuant to such Exercise Notice; provided that the rescission of an exercise shall not affect the Company’s obligation to make
any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1(c) or otherwise, and (ii) if
a registration statement covering the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares that are subject to an Exercise Notice is not available
for the issuance or resale, as applicable, of such Warrant Shares and the Holder has submitted an Exercise Notice prior to receiving
notice of the non-availability of such registration statement and the Company has not already delivered the Warrant Shares underlying
such Exercise Notice electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the
Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit
/ Withdrawal At Custodian system, the Holder shall have the option, by delivery of notice to the Company, to (x) rescind such Exercise
Notice in whole or in part and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant
to such Exercise Notice; provided that the rescission of an Exercise Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligation to make any
payments that have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1(c) or otherwise, and/or (y) switch
some or all of such Exercise Notice from a cash exercise to a Cashless Exercise.
3
(d) Cashless
Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (other than Section 1(f) below), if at the time of
exercise hereof a Registration Statement is not effective (or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use) for the resale
by the Holder of all of the Warrant Shares, then the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and,
in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise
Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of Warrant Shares determined according to the following
formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):
Net Number = (A
x B) - (A x C)
B
For purposes of the foregoing
formula:
A= the total number of shares with respect
to which this Warrant is then being exercised.
B = as elected by the Holder: (i) the
VWAP of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if such Exercise
Notice is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both
executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours”
(as defined in Rule 600(b)(88) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at
the option of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Exercise Notice
or (z) the Bid Price of the shares of Common Stock as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Exercise Notice
if such Exercise Notice is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours
thereafter pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof, or (iii) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable
Exercise Notice if the date of such Exercise Notice is a Trading Day and such Exercise Notice is both executed and delivered pursuant
to Section 1(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day.
C = the Exercise
Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.
If the Warrant Shares are issued
in a Cashless Exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the 1933 Act, the Warrant
Shares take on the registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised. For purposes of Rule 144(d) promulgated under
the 1933 Act, as in effect on the Subscription Date, it is intended that the Warrant Shares issued in a Cashless Exercise shall be deemed
to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this
Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement.
(e) Disputes.
In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the number of Warrant Shares
to be issued pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed
and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 15.
4
(f) Limitations
on Exercises. The Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to
exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant and any such exercise shall be null and void
and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder together with the other Attribution
Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock
held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable
upon (A) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution
Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including,
without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants, including other SPA Warrants) beneficially owned
by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained
in this Section 1(f). For purposes of this Section 1(f), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the 1934 Act. For purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the Holder may acquire upon the exercise of
this Warrant without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected
in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K
or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other
written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent, if any, setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported
Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives an Exercise Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall (i) notify the Holder in
writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Exercise Notice would otherwise cause the
Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 1(f), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must
notify the Company of a reduced number of Warrant Shares to be acquired pursuant to such Exercise Notice (the number of shares by which
such purchase is reduced, the “Reduction Shares”) and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Company shall
return to the Holder any exercise price paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares. For any reason at any time, upon the written or
oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to
the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall
be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder and
any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance
of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed
to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined
under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution
Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed
null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. As
soon as reasonably practicable after the issuance of the Excess Shares has been deemed null and void, the Company shall return to the
Holder the exercise price paid by the Holder for the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may
from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after delivery of such notice)
or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any
such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered
to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to
any other holder of SPA Warrants that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock
issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the
Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act. No prior inability
to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with
respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner
otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(f) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or
any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this
Section 1(f) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation
contained in this paragraph may not be amended, modified, or waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
5
(g) Reservation
of Shares.
(i) Required
Reserve Amount. So long as this Warrant remains outstanding, the Company shall at all times keep reserved for issuance under this
Warrant a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to 100% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary
to satisfy the Company’s obligation to issue shares of Common Stock under the SPA Warrants then outstanding (assuming for purposes
hereof that (x) all Additional Warrants (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) issuable pursuant to the Securities Purchase
Agreement shall have been issued at an Additional Closing (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) on the Initial Closing Date
(as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and (y) any such exercise shall not take into account any limitations on exercise)
(the “Required Reserve Amount”); provided that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock reserved pursuant
to this Section 1(g)(i) be reduced other than proportionally in connection with any exercise or redemption of SPA Warrants
or such other event covered by Section 2(a) below. The Required Reserve Amount (including, without limitation, each increase
in the number of shares so reserved) shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of the SPA Warrants based on number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of SPA Warrants held by each holder on the Initial Closing Date (and any Additional Warrants issued thereafter)
(without regard to any limitations on exercise) or increase in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be (the “Authorized
Share Allocation”). In the event that a holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder’s SPA Warrants, each
transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holder’s Authorized Share Allocation. Any shares of Common Stock reserved
and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any SPA Warrants shall be allocated to the remaining holders of SPA Warrants, pro rata
based on the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the SPA Warrants then held by such holders (without regard to
any limitations on exercise).
(ii) Insufficient
Authorized Shares. If, notwithstanding Section 1(g)(i) above, and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the
SPA Warrants remain outstanding, the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to
satisfy its obligation to reserve the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall
immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow
the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for all the SPA Warrants then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than
sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval
of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder
with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares
of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if any such time of an Authorized Share Failure, the Company is able to obtain the written consent of a majority of the
shares of its issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock to approve the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock,
the Company may satisfy this obligation by obtaining such consent and submitting for filing with the SEC an Information Statement on
Schedule 14C. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing shares of Common Stock upon an exercise of this Warrant due to
the failure by the Company to have sufficient shares of Common Stock available out of the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock
(such unavailable number of shares of Common Stock, the “Authorization Failure Shares”), in lieu of delivering such
Authorization Failure Shares to the Holder, the Company shall pay cash in exchange for the cancellation of such portion of this Warrant
exercisable into such Authorization Failure Shares at a price equal to the sum of (i) the product of (x) such number of Authorization
Failure Shares and (y) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the
date the Holder delivers the applicable Exercise Notice with respect to such Authorization Failure Shares to the Company and ending on
the date of such issuance and payment under this Section 1(g); and (ii) to the extent the Holder purchases (in an open market
transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Authorization Failure Shares,
any Buy-In Payment Amount, brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any, of the Holder incurred in connection therewith.
Nothing contained in this Section 1(g) shall limit any obligations of the Company under any provision of the Securities Purchase
Agreement.
6
2. ADJUSTMENT
OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 2.
(a) Stock
Dividends and Splits. Without limiting any provision of Section 2(b), Section 3 or Section 4, if the Company, at any
time on or after the Subscription Date, (i) pays a stock dividend on one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common
Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides
(by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a larger number of shares or (iii) combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its then
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by
a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which
the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant
to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled
to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become
effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this paragraph
occurs during the period that an Exercise Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Exercise Price shall be adjusted
appropriately to reflect such event.
(b) Adjustment
Upon Issuance of Shares of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after the Subscription Date, the Company grants, issues or sells (or
enters into any agreement to grant, issue or sell), or in accordance with this Section 2 is deemed to have granted, issued or sold,
any shares of Common Stock (including the granting, issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of
the Company, but excluding any Excluded Securities granted, issued or sold or deemed to have been granted, issued or sold) for a consideration
per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
such granting, issuance or sale or deemed granting, issuance or sale (such Exercise Price then in effect is referred to herein as the
“Applicable Price”) (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive
Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price. For all purposes of the foregoing
(including, without limitation, determining the adjusted Exercise Price and the New Issuance Price under this Section 2(b)), the
following shall be applicable:
(i) Issuance
of Options. If the Company in any manner grants, issues or sells (or enters into any agreement to grant, issue or sell) any Options
and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon
conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option or otherwise pursuant to the
terms thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued
and sold by the Company at the time of the granting, issuance or sale (or the time of execution of such agreement to grant, issue or
sell, as applicable) of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 2(b)(i), the “lowest price per
share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the exercise of any such Options or upon conversion, exercise
or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof”
shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the
Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting, issuance or sale (or pursuant to the agreement to grant, issue
or sell, as applicable) of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security
issuable upon exercise of such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof and (y) the lowest exercise price set forth in
such Option for which one share of Common Stock is issuable (or may become issuable assuming all possible market conditions) upon the
exercise of any such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such
Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Option
(or any other Person) upon the granting, issuance or sale (or the agreement to grant, issue or sell, as applicable) of such Option, upon
exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option or
otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on,
the holder of such Option (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made
upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or otherwise
pursuant to the terms of or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible
Securities.
7
(ii) Issuance
of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells (or enters into any agreement to issue or sell) any Convertible
Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the conversion, exercise or
exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall
be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale (or the time of execution
of such agreement to issue or sell, as applicable) of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this
Section 2(b)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the conversion,
exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum
of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon
the issuance or sale (or pursuant to the agreement to issue or sell, as applicable) of the Convertible Security and upon conversion,
exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof and (y) the lowest conversion price
set forth in such Convertible Security for which one share of Common Stock is issuable (or may become issuable assuming all possible
market conditions) upon conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof minus (2) the sum of
all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person) upon the issuance or sale (or the agreement
to issue or sell, as applicable) of such Convertible Security plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or
benefit conferred on, the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment
of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of
such Convertible Securities or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof, and if any such issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities
is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of this Warrant has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this
Section 2(b), except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issuance
or sale.
(iii) Change
in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration,
if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible
Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any time (other than
proportional changes in conversion or exercise prices, as applicable, in connection with an event referred to in Section 2(a)),
the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in
effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration
or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 2(b)(iii),
if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security (including, without limitation, any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding
as of the Subscription Date) are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option
or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed
to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be made
if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect.
8
(iv) Calculation
of Consideration Received. If any Option and/or Convertible Security and/or Adjustment Right is issued in connection with the issuance
or sale or deemed issuance or sale of any other securities of the Company (as determined by the Holder, the “Primary Security”,
and such Option and/or Convertible Security and/or Adjustment Right, the “Secondary Securities”), together comprising
one integrated transaction, (or one or more transactions if such issuances or sales or deemed issuances or sales of securities of the
Company either (A) have at least one investor or purchaser in common, (B) are consummated in reasonable proximity to each other
and/or (C) are consummated under the same plan of financing) the aggregate consideration per share of Common Stock with respect
to such Primary Security shall be deemed to be equal to the difference of (x) the lowest price per share for which one share of
Common Stock was issued (or was deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 2(b)(i) or 2(b)(ii) above, as applicable) in such
integrated transaction solely with respect to such Primary Security, minus (y) with respect to such Secondary Securities, the sum
of (I) the Black Scholes Consideration Value of each such Option, if any, (II) the fair market value (as determined by the
Required Holder in good faith) or the Black Scholes Consideration Value, as applicable, of such Adjustment Right, if any, and (III) the
fair market value (as determined by the Holder) of such Convertible Security, if any, in each case, as determined on a per share basis
in accordance with this Section 2(b)(iv). If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or
deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid
for such Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security, but not for the purpose of the calculation of the Black Scholes Consideration
Value) will be deemed to be the net amount of consideration received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, Options
or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company
(for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security, but not for the purpose
of the calculation of the Black Scholes Consideration Value) will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration
consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company for such securities will be
the arithmetic average of the VWAPs of such security for each of the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of receipt.
If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with
any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor (for the purpose of determining the consideration
paid for such Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security, but not for the purpose of the calculation of the Black Scholes Consideration
Value) will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable
to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities (as the case may be). The fair value of any consideration other than
cash or publicly traded securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Holder. If such parties are unable to reach agreement
within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value
of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Trading Days after the tenth (10th) day following such Valuation
Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holder. The determination of such appraiser shall
be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
9
(v) Record
Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive
a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for
or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issuance
or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such
other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase (as the case may be).
(c) Number
of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 2(a), the number of Warrant
Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment
the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment (without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein).
(d) Holder’s
Right of Alternative Exercise Price Following Issuance of Certain Options or Convertible Securities. In addition to and not in limitation
of the other provisions of this Section 2, if the Company in any manner issues or sells or enters into any agreement to issue or
sell, any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities (other than the Permitted Equity Line (as defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreement)) (any such securities, “Variable Price Securities”) after the Subscription Date that are issuable pursuant
to such agreement or convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock at a price which varies or may vary with
the market price of the shares of Common Stock, including by way of one or more reset(s) to a fixed price, but exclusive of such
formulations reflecting customary anti-dilution provisions (such as share splits, share combinations, share dividends and similar transactions)
(each of the formulations for such variable price being herein referred to as, the “Variable Price”), the Company
shall provide written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Holder on the date of such agreement and the issuance
of such Convertible Securities or Options. From and after the date the Company enters into such agreement or issues any such Variable
Price Securities, the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion to substitute the Variable Price for
the Exercise Price upon exercise of this Warrant by designating in the Exercise Notice delivered upon any exercise of this Warrant that
solely for purposes of such exercise the Holder is relying on the Variable Price rather than the Exercise Price then in effect. The Holder’s
election to rely on a Variable Price for a particular exercise of this Warrant shall not obligate the Holder to rely on a Variable Price
for any future exercises of this Warrant.
10
(e) Stock
Combination Event Adjustment. If at any time and from time to time on or after the Issuance Date there occurs any stock split, stock
dividend, stock combination recapitalization or other similar transaction involving the Common Stock (each, a “Stock Combination
Event”, and such date thereof, each, a “Stock Combination Event Date”) and the Event Market Price is less
than the Exercise Price then in effect (after giving effect to the adjustment in clause 2(a) above), then on the sixteenth (16th)
Trading Day immediately following such Stock Combination Event (each, a “Stock Combination Event Adjustment Date”),
the Exercise Price then in effect on such sixteenth (16th) Trading Day (after giving effect to the adjustment in clause 2(a) above)
shall be reduced (but in no event increased) to the Event Market Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder requests to exercise
this Warrant, in whole or in part, on any given date during any Stock Combination Measuring Period, solely with respect to such portion
of this Warrant subject to such exercise on such applicable Exercise Date, (a) such applicable Stock Combination Event Date shall
be deemed to mean such Exercise Date, (b) such applicable Stock Combination Measuring Period shall be deemed to have ended on the
Trading Day immediately prior to such Exercise Date and (c) the applicable Event Market Price for such portion of this Warrant exercised
shall be calculated pursuant to this Section 2(e). For the avoidance of doubt, if the adjustment in the immediately preceding sentence
would otherwise result in an increase in the Exercise Price hereunder, no adjustment shall be made.
(f) Other
Events. In the event that the Company (or any Subsidiary (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)) shall take any action
to which the provisions hereof are not strictly applicable, or, if applicable, would not operate to protect the Holder from dilution
or if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2 but not expressly provided for by such provisions
(including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features),
then the Company’s board of directors shall in good faith determine and implement an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price
and the number of Warrant Shares (if applicable) so as to protect the rights of the Holder, provided that no such adjustment pursuant
to this Section 2(f) will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant
to this Section 2, provided further that if the Holder does not accept such adjustments as appropriately protecting its interests
hereunder against such dilution, then the Company’s board of directors and the Holder shall agree, in good faith, upon an independent
investment bank of nationally recognized standing to make such appropriate adjustments, whose determination shall be final and binding
absent manifest error and whose fees and expenses shall be borne by the Company.
(g) Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 2 shall be made by rounding to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share,
as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the
account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issuance or sale of Common Stock.
11
(h) Voluntary
Adjustment By Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the Principal Market, the Company may at any time during the
term of this Warrant, with the prior written consent of the Required Holders (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), reduce
the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Company.
(i) Adjustments.
If on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the later of (I) the Stockholder Approval Date (as defined in the Securities
Purchase Agreement) and (II) the Applicable Date (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) through, and including, the one
hundred and eightieth (180th) calendar day after the later of (x) the Applicable Date and (y) the Stockholder Approval Date,
as applicable (any Trading Day during such period, each, an “Adjustment Date”), the Exercise Price then in effect
is greater than the Market Price then in effect (each, an “Adjustment Price”), on any such applicable Adjustment Date
the Exercise Price shall automatically lower to the applicable Adjustment Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder requests
to exercise this Warrant in whole or in part on any given date during a Market Price Measuring Period, solely with respect to such portion
of this Warrant being exercised on such applicable Exercise Date (each, an “Exercised Warrant”), (a) such applicable
Adjustment Date shall be deemed to mean such Exercise Date, (b) such applicable Market Price Measuring Period shall be deemed to
have ended on the Trading Day immediately prior to such Exercise Date and (c) the applicable Adjustment Price for such Exercised
Warrant shall be calculated pursuant to this Section 2(i). For the avoidance of doubt, following the calculation of the Adjustment
Price pursuant to this Section 2(i), the Company’s obligations with regard to such Exercised Warrant shall be deemed satisfied
and no additional Adjustment Price shall apply to such Exercised Warrant.
(j) Exercise
Floor Price. Prior to the Stockholder Approval Date, no adjustment pursuant to this Section 2 shall cause the Exercise Price
to be less than $0.6135 (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction
occurring after the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement) (the “Exercise Floor Price”); provided, that, this
limitation shall not apply after the Stockholder Approval Date. As of the Stockholder Approval Date, any Dilutive Issuances or other
events that would have resulted in an adjustment to the Exercise Price prior to the Stockholder Approval Date, but for the application
of this Section 2(j), shall adjust the Exercise Price hereunder as if such Dilutive Issuances and/or other events, as applicable,
occurred on the Stockholder Approval Date.
3. RIGHTS
UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above or Section 4(a) below,
if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of
shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other
securities, property, options, evidence of indebtedness or any other assets by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate
rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance
of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the
Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise
of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Maximum
Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as
of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however,
that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder and the other Attribution
Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution in excess of the
Maximum Percentage (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution
(and beneficial ownership) to the extent of any such excess) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit
of the Holder until such time or times, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties
exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such Distribution (and any Distributions declared
or made on such initial Distribution or on any subsequent Distribution held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had
been no such limitation).
12
4. PURCHASE
RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.
(a) Purchase
Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Sections 2 or 3 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells
any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders
of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms
applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number
of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise
of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the
grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of
Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that to the
extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties
exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to the extent of the Maximum
Percentage (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and
beneficial ownership) to the extent of any such excess) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit
of the Holder until such time or times, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties
exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued
or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there
had been no such limitation).
(b) Fundamental
Transactions. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes
in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities
Purchase Agreement) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance
satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to the Holder
in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance
to this Warrant, including, without limitation, which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent
to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise
of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such
shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction
and the value of such shares of capital stock, such adjustments to the number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being
for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction)
and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or
listed for trading on an Eligible Market. Upon the consummation of each Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to,
and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and
the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise
every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction
Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of each Fundamental
Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at
any time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities,
cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 4(a) above, which shall continue to be
receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction, such shares of publicly
traded common stock (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) which the Holder would have been entitled
to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable
Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions
of this Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting Section 1(f) hereof, the Holder may elect, at its sole
option, by delivery of written notice to the Company to waive this Section 4(b) to permit the Fundamental Transaction without
the assumption of this Warrant. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of each
Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect
to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to
insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation
of the applicable Fundamental Transaction but prior to the Expiration Date, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities,
cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 4(a) above, which shall continue to be
receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities,
cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have
been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior
to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant). Provision made pursuant
to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder.
13
(c) [Reserved].
(d) Application.
The provisions of this Section 4 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events and
shall be applied as if this Warrant (and any such subsequent warrants) were fully exercisable and without regard to any limitations on
the exercise of this Warrant (provided that the Holder shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of the Maximum Percentage, applied
however with respect to shares of capital stock registered under the 1934 Act and thereafter receivable upon exercise of this Warrant
(or any such other warrant)).
5. NONCIRCUMVENTION.
The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation (as defined in the
Securities Purchase Agreement), Bylaws (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issuance or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek
to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions
of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Company (a) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above
the Exercise Price then in effect, and (b) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company
may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, if after the sixty (60) calendar day anniversary of the Issuance Date, the Holder is not permitted to
exercise this Warrant in full for any reason (other than pursuant to restrictions set forth in Section 1(f) hereof), the Company
shall use its best efforts to promptly remedy such failure, including, without limitation, obtaining such consents or approvals as necessary
to permit such exercise into shares of Common Stock.
6. WARRANT
HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in its capacity as a
holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for
any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in its capacity as the Holder
of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action
(whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice
of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which
it is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed
as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder
of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 6,
the Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of the Company generally,
contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the stockholders.
14
7. REISSUANCE
OF WARRANTS.
(a) Transfer
of Warrant. If this Warrant is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company, whereupon the Company will
forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)), registered as the Holder
may request, representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares being transferred by the Holder and, if less than the total
number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant is being transferred, a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) to the
Holder representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares not being transferred.
(b) Lost,
Stolen or Mutilated Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction
or mutilation of this Warrant (as to which a written certification and the indemnification contemplated below shall suffice as such evidence),
and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary and reasonable
form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder
a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant.
(c) Exchangeable
for Multiple Warrants. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company,
for a new Warrant or Warrants (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of
Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant, and each such new Warrant will represent the right to purchase such portion of such Warrant
Shares as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender; provided, however, no warrants for fractional shares of Common Stock
shall be given.
(d) Issuance
of New Warrants. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant
(i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the right
to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant (or in the case of a new Warrant being issued pursuant to Section 7(a) or
Section 7(c), the Warrant Shares designated by the Holder which, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the
other new Warrants issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant),
(iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date, and (iv) shall
have the same rights and conditions as this Warrant.
15
8. NOTICES.
Whenever notice is required to be given under this Warrant, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance
with Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Company shall provide the Holder with prompt written notice of
all actions taken pursuant to this Warrant (other than the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise in accordance with the terms
hereof), including in reasonable detail a description of such action and the reason therefor. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company will give written notice to the Holder (i) immediately upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price and the
number of Warrant Shares, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment(s), (ii) at least
fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or

or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property to holders of shares of Common Stock or (C) for determining

be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to the Holder, and (iii) at least ten (10) Trading
Days prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains,
material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice
with the SEC (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. If the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries provides material non-public information to the Holder that is not simultaneously filed in a Current Report on Form 8-K
and the Holder has not agreed to receive such material non-public information, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Holder
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 with respect to, or a duty to any of the foregoing not to trade on the basis of, such material non-public information.
It is expressly understood and agreed that the time of execution specified by the Holder in each Exercise Notice shall be definitive
and may not be disputed or challenged by the Company.
9. DISCLOSURE.
Upon delivery by the Company to the Holder (or receipt by the Company from the Holder) of any notice in accordance with the terms of
this Warrant, unless the Company has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, non-public
information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company shall on or prior to 9:00 am, New York city time on the Business
Day immediately following such notice delivery date, publicly disclose such material, non-public information on a Current Report on Form 8-K
or otherwise. In the event that the Company believes that a notice contains material, non-public information relating to the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company so shall indicate to the Holder explicitly in writing in such notice (or immediately upon receipt
of notice from the Holder, as applicable), and in the absence of any such written indication in such notice (or notification from the
Company immediately upon receipt of notice from the Holder), the Holder shall be entitled to presume that information contained in the
notice does not constitute material, non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Nothing contained in
this Section 9 shall limit any obligations of the Company, or any rights of the Holder, under Section 4(i) of the Securities
Purchase Agreement.
10. ABSENCE
OF TRADING AND DISCLOSURE RESTRICTIONS. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Holder is not a fiduciary or agent of the Company
and that the Holder shall have no obligation to (a) maintain the confidentiality of any information provided by the Company or (b) refrain
from trading any securities while in possession of such information in the absence of a written non-disclosure agreement signed by an
officer of the Holder that explicitly provides for such confidentiality and trading restrictions. In the absence of such an executed,
written non-disclosure agreement, the Company acknowledges that the Holder may freely trade in any securities issued by the Company,
may possess and use any information provided by the Company in connection with such trading activity, and may disclose any such information
to any third party.
16
11. AMENDMENT
AND WAIVER. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Warrant (other than Section 1(f) above and
this Section 11, which may not be amended, modified or waived) may be amended and the Company may take any action herein prohibited,
or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company has obtained the written consent of the Holder.
No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.
12. SEVERABILITY.
If any provision of this Warrant is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest
extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity
of the remaining provisions of this Warrant so long as this Warrant as so modified continues to express, without material change, the
original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in
question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization
of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the
prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that
of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
13. GOVERNING
LAW. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction,
validity, interpretation and performance of this Warrant shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving
effect to any 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 waives personal service of process and
consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to the Company at the address set forth
in Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service
of process and notice thereof. The Company 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, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any
claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an
inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit
in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude
the Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s
obligations to the Holder, to realize on any collateral or any other security for such obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other
court ruling in favor of the Holder. THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST,
A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS WARRANT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY.
17
14. CONSTRUCTION;
HEADINGS. This Warrant shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the Holder and shall not be construed against
any Person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Warrant are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect
the interpretation of, this Warrant. Terms used in this Warrant but defined in the other Transaction Documents shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms on the Initial Closing Date in such other Transaction Documents unless otherwise consented to in writing by the
Holder.
15. DISPUTE
RESOLUTION.
(a) Submission
to Dispute Resolution.
(i) In
the case of a dispute relating to the Exercise Price, the Closing Sale Price, the Bid Price, Black Scholes Consideration Value, Black
Scholes Value or fair market value or the arithmetic calculation of the number of Warrant Shares (as the case may be) (including, without
limitation, a dispute relating to the determination of any of the foregoing), the Company or the Holder (as the case may be) shall submit
the dispute to the other party via facsimile (A) if by the Company, within two (2) Business Days after the occurrence of the
circumstances giving rise to such dispute or (B) if by the Holder, at any time after the Holder learned of the circumstances giving
rise to such dispute. If the Holder and the Company are unable to promptly resolve such dispute relating to such Exercise Price, such
Closing Sale Price, such Bid Price, such Black Scholes Consideration Value, such Black Scholes Value or such fair market value or such
arithmetic calculation of the number of Warrant Shares (as the case may be), at any time after the second (2nd) Business Day
following such initial notice by the Company or the Holder (as the case may be) of such dispute to the Company or the Holder (as the
case may be), then the Holder may, at its sole option, select an independent, reputable investment bank to resolve such dispute.
(ii) The
Holder and the Company shall each deliver to such investment bank (A) a copy of the initial dispute submission so delivered in accordance
with the first sentence of this Section 15 and (B) written documentation supporting its position with respect to such dispute,
in each case, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) by the fifth (5th) Business Day immediately following the date
on which the Holder selected such investment bank (the “Dispute Submission Deadline”) (the documents referred to in
the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B) are collectively referred to herein as the “Required Dispute Documentation”)
(it being understood and agreed that if either the Holder or the Company fails to so deliver all of the Required Dispute Documentation
by the Dispute Submission Deadline, then the party who fails to so submit all of the Required Dispute Documentation shall no longer be
entitled to (and hereby waives its right to) deliver or submit any written documentation or other support to such investment bank with
respect to such dispute and such investment bank shall resolve such dispute based solely on the Required Dispute Documentation that was
delivered to such investment bank prior to the Dispute Submission Deadline). Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by both the Company
and the Holder or otherwise requested by such investment bank, neither the Company nor the Holder shall be entitled to deliver or submit
any written documentation or other support to such investment bank in connection with such dispute (other than the Required Dispute Documentation).
18
(iii) The
Company and the Holder shall cause such investment bank to determine the resolution of such dispute and notify the Company and the Holder
of such resolution no later than ten (10) Business Days immediately following the Dispute Submission Deadline. The fees and expenses
of such investment bank shall be borne solely by the Company, and such investment bank’s resolution of such dispute shall be final
and binding upon all parties absent manifest error.
(b) Miscellaneous.
The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) this Section 15 constitutes an agreement to arbitrate between the Company
and the Holder (and constitutes an arbitration agreement) under the rules then in effect § 7501, et seq. of the New York Civil
Practice Law and Rules (“CPLR”) and that the Holder is authorized to apply for an order to compel arbitration
pursuant to CPLR § 7503(a) in order to compel compliance with this Section 15, (ii) a dispute relating to the Exercise
Price includes, without limitation, disputes as to (A) whether an issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of Common Stock occurred
under Section 2(b), (B) the consideration per share at which an issuance or deemed issuance of Common Stock occurred, (C) whether
any issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of Common Stock was an issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of Excluded Securities,
(D) whether an agreement, instrument, security or the like constitutes and Option or Convertible Security and (E) whether a
Dilutive Issuance occurred, (iii) the terms of this Warrant and each other applicable Transaction Document shall serve as the basis
for the selected investment bank’s resolution of the applicable dispute, such investment bank shall be entitled (and is hereby
expressly authorized) to make all findings, determinations and the like that such investment bank determines are required to be made
by such investment bank in connection with its resolution of such dispute (including, without limitation, determining (A) whether
an issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of Common Stock occurred under Section 2(b), (B) the consideration per share
at which an issuance or deemed issuance of Common Stock occurred, (C) whether any issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of
Common Stock was an issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of Excluded Securities, (D) whether an agreement, instrument, security
or the like constitutes and Option or Convertible Security and (E) whether a Dilutive Issuance occurred) and in resolving such dispute
such investment bank shall apply such findings, determinations and the like to the terms of this Warrant and any other applicable Transaction
Documents, (iv) the Holder (and only the Holder), in its sole discretion, shall have the right to submit any dispute described in
this Section 15 to any state or federal court sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan in lieu of utilizing the procedures
set forth in this Section 15 and (v) nothing in this Section 15 shall limit the Holder from obtaining any injunctive relief
or other equitable remedies (including, without limitation, with respect to any matters described in this Section 15).
19
16. REMEDIES,
CHARACTERIZATION, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative
and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including
a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual
and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. The Company covenants to the Holder
that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided
for herein with respect to payments, exercises and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the
Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof).
The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy
at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach,
the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to specific performance and/or temporary,
preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the
necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security. The Company shall provide all information and documentation
to the Holder that is requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions
of this Warrant (including, without limitation, compliance with Section 2 hereof). The issuance of shares and certificates for shares
as contemplated hereby upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder or such shares for any issuance tax
or other costs in respect thereof, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of
any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than the Holder or its agent on its behalf.
17. PAYMENT

or enforcement or is collected or enforced through any legal proceeding or the Holder otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under
this Warrant or to enforce the provisions of this Warrant or (b) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of the
company or other proceedings affecting company creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Warrant, then the Company shall
pay the costs incurred by the Holder for such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization,
receivership or other proceeding, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements.

Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign entity to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership

assets, liabilities, operations (including results thereof), condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or any Subsidiary,
individually or taken as a whole, (ii) the transactions contemplated hereby or in any of the other Transaction Documents or any

Documents, the Company is not in violation of the requirements of the Principal Market and has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances
which could reasonably lead to delisting or suspension of the Common Stock in the foreseeable future. “Governmental Entity”

of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, and any advice given by a Buyer or any of its representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction
Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to such Buyer’s purchase of the Securities.
The Company further represents to each Buyer that the Company’s and each Subsidiary’s decision to enter into the Transaction
Documents to which it is a party has been based solely on the independent evaluation by the Company, each Subsidiary and their respective
representatives.
(g) No
General Solicitation; Placement Agent’s Fees. Neither the Company, nor any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates, nor any Person
acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation

fees, financial advisory fees, or brokers’ commissions (other than for Persons engaged by any Buyer or its investment advisor)
relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(g), neither the Company
nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged any placement agent or other agent in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities.

or otherwise, or cause this offering of the Securities to require approval of stockholders of the Company for purposes of the 1933 Act
or under any applicable stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any exchange
or automated quotation system on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated for quotation. None of the Company,
its Subsidiaries, their affiliates nor any Person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps that would require registration

of any of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings of securities of the Company.
10
(i) Dilutive
Effect. The Company understands and acknowledges that the number of Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares will increase in certain
circumstances. The Company further acknowledges that its obligation to issue the Conversion Shares pursuant to the terms of the Certificate
of Designations in accordance with this Agreement and the Certificate of Designations and the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants
in accordance with this Agreement and the Warrants is, in each case, absolute and unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect that
such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders of the Company.

Incorporation, Bylaws or other organizational documents or the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or otherwise which is or

(k) SEC
Documents; Financial Statements. During the two (2) years prior to the date hereof, except as set forth on Schedule 3(k),
the Company has timely filed all reports (or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such report prior
to the expiration of any such extension), schedules, forms, proxy statements, statements and other documents required to be filed by
it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof and all exhibits
and appendices included therein and financial statements, notes and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein
being hereinafter referred to as the “SEC Documents”). The Company has delivered or has made available to the Buyers
or their respective representatives true, correct and complete copies of each of the SEC Documents not available on the EDGAR system.
As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and
regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed
with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of
their respective dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with
applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect as of the
time of filing. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”),
consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the
notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed
or summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof and
the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end
audit adjustments which will not be material, either individually or in the aggregate). The reserves, if any, established by the Company
or the lack of reserves, if applicable, are reasonable based upon facts and circumstances known by the Company on the date hereof and
there are no loss contingencies that are required to be accrued by the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 5 of the Financial
Accounting Standards Board which are not provided for by the Company in its financial statements or otherwise. No other information provided
by or on behalf of the Company to any of the Buyers which is not included in the SEC Documents (including, without limitation, information
referred to in Section 2(e) of this Agreement or in the disclosure schedules to this Agreement) contains any untrue statement
of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, in the light
of the circumstance under which they are or were made. The Company is not currently contemplating to amend or restate any of the financial
statements (including, without limitation, any notes or any letter of the independent accountants of the Company with respect thereto)
included in the SEC Documents (the “Financial Statements”), nor is the Company currently aware of facts or circumstances
which would require the Company to amend or restate any of the Financial Statements, in each case, in order for any of the Financials
Statements to be in compliance with GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Company has not been informed by its independent
accountants that they recommend that the Company amend or restate any of the Financial Statements or that there is any need for the Company
to amend or restate any of the Financial Statements.
11
(l) Absence
of Certain Changes. Since the date of the Company’s most recent audited financial statements contained in a Form 10-K,
there has been no material adverse change and no material adverse development in the business, assets, liabilities, properties, operations
(including results thereof), condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Since the date
of the Company’s most recent audited financial statements contained in a Form 10-K, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries
has (i) declared or paid any dividends, (ii) except as set forth on Schedule 3(l), sold any assets, individually or
in the aggregate, outside of the ordinary course of business or (iii) made any capital expenditures, individually or in the aggregate,
outside of the ordinary course of business. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any steps to seek protection pursuant
to any law or statute relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, liquidation or winding up, nor does the Company
or any Subsidiary have any knowledge or reason to believe that any of their respective creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy
proceedings or any actual knowledge of any fact which would reasonably lead a creditor to do so. The Company and its Subsidiaries, individually
and on a consolidated basis, are not as of the date hereof, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby to occur
at such Closing, will not be Insolvent (as defined below). For purposes of this Section 3(l), “Insolvent” means,
(i) with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, (A) the present fair saleable value of the Company’s
and its Subsidiaries’ assets is less than the amount required to pay the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ total Indebtedness
(as defined below), (B) the Company and its Subsidiaries are unable to pay their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent
or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured or (C) the Company and its Subsidiaries intend to incur
or believe that they will incur debts that would be beyond their ability to pay as such debts mature; and (ii) with respect to the
Company and each Subsidiary, individually, (A) the present fair saleable value of the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s
(as the case may be) assets is less than the amount required to pay its respective total Indebtedness, (B) the Company or such Subsidiary
(as the case may be) is unable to pay its respective debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and
liabilities become absolute and matured or (C) the Company or such Subsidiary (as the case may be) intends to incur or believes
that it will incur debts that would be beyond its respective ability to pay as such debts mature. Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries has engaged in any business or in any transaction, and is not about to engage in any business or in any transaction, for
which the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s remaining assets constitute unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the
business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted.
12
(m) No
Undisclosed Events, Liabilities, Developments or Circumstances. No event, liability, development or circumstance has occurred or
exists, or is reasonably expected to exist or occur with respect to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses,
properties, liabilities, prospects, operations (including results thereof) or condition (financial or otherwise), that (i) would
be required to be disclosed by the Company under applicable securities laws on a registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the
SEC relating to an issuance and sale by the Company of its Common Stock and which has not been publicly announced, (ii) could have
a material adverse effect on any Buyer’s investment hereunder or (iii) could have a Material Adverse Effect.
(n) Conduct
of Business; Regulatory Permits. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any term of or in default under
its Certificate of Incorporation, any certificate of designation, preferences or rights of any other outstanding series of preferred
stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Bylaws or their organizational charter, certificate of formation, memorandum of association,
articles of association, Certificate of Incorporation or certificate of incorporation or bylaws, respectively. Neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any judgment, decree or order or any statute, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable
to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will conduct its business in violation
of any of the foregoing, except in all cases for possible violations which could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as set forth on Schedule 3(n), the Company is not in
violation of any of the rules, regulations or requirements of the Principal Market and has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances
that could reasonably lead to delisting or suspension of the Common Stock by the Principal Market in the foreseeable future. During the
two years prior to the date hereof, (i) the Common Stock has been listed or designated for quotation on the Principal Market, (ii) trading
in the Common Stock has not been suspended by the SEC or the Principal Market and (iii) except as disclosed in the SEC Documents,

permits issued by the appropriate regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses, except where the failure to
possess such certificates, authorizations or permits would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and
neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any
such certificate, authorization or permit. There is no agreement, commitment, judgment, injunction, order or decree binding upon the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party which has or would reasonably be expected
to have the effect of prohibiting or materially impairing any business practice of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any acquisition
of property by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the conduct of business by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as currently
conducted other than such effects, individually or in the aggregate, which have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(i) (A) influencing
any act or decision of such Government Official in his/her official capacity, (B) inducing such Government Official to do or omit

(direct or indirect) of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or any associate, or, to the knowledge of the Company, any affiliate of any
thereof, or any relative with a relationship no more remote than first cousin of any of the foregoing, is presently, or has ever been,
(i) a party to any transaction with the Company or its Subsidiaries (including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing
for the furnishing of services by, or rental of real or personal property from, or otherwise requiring payments to, any such director,
officer or stockholder or such associate or affiliate or relative Subsidiaries (other than for ordinary course services as employees,
officers or directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries)) or (ii) the direct or indirect owner of an interest in any corporation,

a passive investment (direct or indirect) in less than 5% of the common stock of a company whose securities are traded on or quoted through
an Eligible Market (as defined in the Certificate of Designations)), nor does any such Person receive income from any source other than
the Company or its Subsidiaries which relates to the business of the Company or its Subsidiaries or should properly accrue to the Company
or its Subsidiaries. No employee, officer, stockholder or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or member of his or her
immediate family is indebted to the Company or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, nor is the Company or any of its Subsidiaries indebted
(or committed to make loans or extend or guarantee credit) to any of them, other than (i) for payment of salary for services rendered,

laws) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. To the Company’s knowledge, except as set forth on Schedule 3(r)(iii),
no Person owns 10% or more of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (calculated based on the assumption that
all Common Stock Equivalents, whether or not presently exercisable or convertible, have been fully exercised or converted (as
the case may be) taking account of any limitations on exercise or conversion (including “blockers”) contained therein without
conceding that such identified Person is a 10% stockholder for purposes of federal securities laws).
15

Incorporation, as amended and as in effect on the date hereof (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), and the Company’s
bylaws, as amended and as in effect on the date hereof (the “Bylaws”), and the terms of all Common Stock Equivalents
and the material rights of the holders thereof in respect thereto.
16
(s) Indebtedness
and Other Contracts. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries, except as disclosed on Schedule 3(s), (i) has
any outstanding debt securities, notes, credit agreements, credit facilities or other agreements, documents or instruments evidencing
Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is or may become bound, (ii) is
a party to any contract, agreement or instrument, the violation of which, or default under which, by the other party(ies) to such contract,
agreement or instrument could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) has any financing statements
securing obligations in any amounts filed in connection with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (iv) is in violation of any
term of, or in default under, any contract, agreement or instrument relating to any Indebtedness, except where such violations and defaults
would not result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect, or (v) is a party to any contract, agreement or
instrument relating to any Indebtedness, the performance of which, in the judgment of the Company’s officers, has or is expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries have any liabilities or obligations required to be
disclosed in the SEC Documents which are not so disclosed in the SEC Documents, other than those incurred in the ordinary course of the
Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ respective businesses and which, individually or in the aggregate, do not or could not have
a Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Agreement: (x) “Indebtedness” of any Person means, without duplication
(A) all indebtedness for borrowed money, (B) all obligations issued, undertaken or assumed as the deferred purchase price of
property or services (including, without limitation, “capital leases” in accordance with GAAP) (other than trade payables
entered into in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice), (C) all reimbursement or payment obligations with
respect to letters of credit, surety bonds and other similar instruments, (D) all obligations evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures
or similar instruments, including obligations so evidenced incurred in connection with the acquisition of property, assets or businesses,
(E) all indebtedness created or arising under any conditional sale or other title retention agreement, or incurred as financing,
in either case with respect to any property or assets acquired with the proceeds of such indebtedness (even though the rights and remedies
of the seller or bank under such agreement in the event of default are limited to repossession or sale of such property), (F) all
monetary obligations under any leasing or similar arrangement which, in connection with GAAP, consistently applied for the periods covered
thereby, is classified as a capital lease, (G) all indebtedness referred to in clauses (A) through (F) above secured by
(or for which the holder of such Indebtedness has an existing right, contingent or otherwise, to be secured by) any Lien upon or in any
property or assets (including accounts and contract rights) owned by any Person, even though the Person which owns such assets or property
has not assumed or become liable for the payment of such indebtedness, and (H) all Contingent Obligations in respect of indebtedness
or obligations of others of the kinds referred to in clauses (A) through (G) above; and (y) “Contingent Obligation”
means, as to any Person, any direct or indirect liability, contingent or otherwise, of that Person with respect to any Indebtedness,
lease, dividend or other obligation of another Person if the primary purpose or intent of the Person incurring such liability, or the
primary effect thereof, is to provide assurance to the obligee of such liability that such liability will be paid or discharged, or that
any agreements relating thereto will be complied with, or that the holders of such liability will be protected (in whole or in part)
against loss with respect thereto.
(t) Litigation.
There is no action, suit, arbitration, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by the Principal Market, any court, public board,
other Governmental Entity, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company (as defined below), threatened
against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Common Stock or any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’
officers or directors, whether of a civil or criminal nature or otherwise, in their capacities as such, except as set forth in Schedule
3(t). No director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has willfully violated 18 U.S.C. §1519 or engaged
in spoliation in reasonable anticipation of litigation. Without limitation of the foregoing, there has not been, and to the Knowledge
of the Company, there is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the SEC involving the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or
any current or former director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The SEC has not issued any stop order or other order
suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act. To the Knowledge
of the Company, the Company is not aware of any fact which might result in or form the basis for any such action, suit, arbitration,
investigation, inquiry or other proceeding. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any order, writ, judgment,
injunction, decree, determination or award of any Governmental Entity. For purposes of this Agreement, “Knowledge of the Company”
means the actual knowledge of the Company’s Chairperson, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in each case after
reasonable inquiry of all officers, directors and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries under their direct supervision who would
reasonably be expected to have knowledge or information with respect to the matter in question.
17
(u) Insurance.
The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks
and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its
Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for,
and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will be unable to renew its existing insurance coverage
as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at
a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
(v) Employee
Relations. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any collective bargaining agreement or employs any member
of a union. The Company and its Subsidiaries believe that their relations with their employees are good. No executive officer (as defined
in Rule 501(f) promulgated under the 1933 Act) or other key employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has notified
the Company or any such Subsidiary that such officer intends to leave the Company or any such Subsidiary or otherwise terminate such
officer’s employment with the Company or any such Subsidiary. No current (or former) executive officer or other key employee of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality,
disclosure or proprietary information agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant,
and the continued employment of each such executive officer or other key employee (as the case may be) does not subject the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance
with all federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting labor, employment and employment practices and benefits, terms
and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where failure to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(w) Title.
(i) Real
Property. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries holds good title to all real property, leases in real property, facilities or
other interests in real property owned or held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Real Property”) in
connection with the conduct of its business. The Real Property is free and clear of all Liens and is not subject to any rights of way,
building use restrictions, exceptions, variances, reservations, or limitations of any nature except for (a) Liens for current taxes
not yet due and (b) zoning laws and other land use restrictions that do not impair the present or anticipated use of the property
subject thereto. Any Real Property held under lease by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting
and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such
property and buildings by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
18
(ii) Fixtures
and Equipment. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries (as applicable) has good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, the
tangible personal property, equipment, improvements, fixtures, and other personal property and appurtenances that are used by the Company
or its Subsidiary in connection with the conduct of its business (the “Fixtures and Equipment”). The Fixtures and
Equipment are structurally sound, are in good operating condition and repair, are adequate for the uses to which they are being put,
are not in need of maintenance or repairs except for ordinary, routine maintenance and repairs and are sufficient for the conduct of
the Company’s and/or its Subsidiaries’ businesses (as applicable) in the manner as conducted prior to such Closing. Each
of the Company and its Subsidiaries owns all of its Fixtures and Equipment free and clear of all Liens except for (a) Liens for
current taxes not yet due and (b) zoning laws and other land use restrictions that do not impair the present or anticipated use
of the property subject thereto.
(x) Intellectual
Property Rights. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(x)(i), the Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess adequate rights
or licenses to use all trademarks, trade names, service marks, service mark registrations, service names, original works of authorship,
patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions, licenses, approvals, governmental authorizations, trade secrets and other intellectual
property rights and all applications and registrations therefor (“Intellectual Property Rights”) necessary to conduct
their respective businesses as now conducted and presently proposed to be conducted. Each of the patents owned by the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries is listed on Schedule 3(x)(i). Except as set forth on Schedule 3(x)(ii), none of the Company’s
Intellectual Property Rights have expired or terminated or have been abandoned or are expected to expire or terminate or are expected
to be abandoned, within three years from the date of this Agreement. The Company does not have any knowledge of any infringement by the
Company or its Subsidiaries of Intellectual Property Rights of others. There is no claim, action or proceeding being made or brought,
or to the knowledge of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, being threatened, against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries regarding
its Intellectual Property Rights. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is aware of any facts or circumstances which might
give rise to any of the foregoing infringements or claims, actions or proceedings. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable
security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their Intellectual Property Rights.
19
(y) Environmental
Laws. (i) The Company and its Subsidiaries (A) are in compliance with any and all Environmental Laws (as defined below),
(B) have received all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their
respective businesses and (C) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval where, in
each of the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the failure to so comply could be reasonably expected to have, individually or
in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The term “Environmental Laws” means all federal, state, local or foreign
laws relating to pollution or protection of human health or the environment (including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water,
groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata), including, without limitation, laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened
releases of chemicals, pollutants, contaminants, or toxic or hazardous substances or wastes (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”)
into the environment, or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport
or handling of Hazardous Materials, as well as all authorizations, codes, decrees, demands or demand letters, injunctions, judgments,
licenses, notices or notice letters, orders, permits, plans or regulations issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder.
(ii) No
Hazardous Materials:
(A) have
been disposed of or otherwise released from any Real Property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in violation of any Environmental
Laws; or
(B) are
present on, over, beneath, in or upon any Real Property or any portion thereof in quantities that would constitute a violation of any
Environmental Laws. No prior use by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any Real Property has occurred that violates any Environmental
Laws, which violation would have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(iii) Neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries knows of any other person who or entity which has stored, treated, recycled, disposed of or otherwise
located on any Real Property any Hazardous Materials, including, without limitation, such substances as asbestos and polychlorinated
biphenyls.
(iv) None
of the Real Properties are on any federal or state “Superfund” list or Liability Information System (“CERCLIS”)
list or any state environmental agency list of sites under consideration for CERCLIS, nor subject to any environmental related Liens.
(z) Subsidiary
Rights. The Company or one of its Subsidiaries has the unrestricted right to vote, and (subject to limitations imposed by applicable
law) to receive dividends and distributions on, all capital securities of its Subsidiaries as owned by the Company or such Subsidiary.
(aa) Tax
Status. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries (i) has timely made or filed all foreign, federal and state income and all
other tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has timely paid all taxes
and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and
declarations, except those being contested in good faith and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for
the payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are no unpaid
taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries
know of no basis for any such claim. The Company is not operated in such a manner as to qualify as a passive foreign investment company,
as defined in Section 1297 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The net operating loss
carryforwards (“NOLs”) for United States federal income tax purposes of the consolidated group of which the Company
is the common parent, if any, shall not be adversely effected by the transactions contemplated hereby. The transactions contemplated
hereby do not constitute an “ownership change” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Code, thereby preserving the
Company’s ability to utilize such NOLs.
20
(bb) Internal
Accounting and Disclosure Controls. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintains internal control over financial reporting
(as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the 1934 Act) that is effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, including that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific
authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP
and to maintain asset and liability accountability, (iii) access to assets or incurrence of liabilities is permitted only in accordance
with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets and liabilities is compared
with the existing assets and liabilities at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any difference. The
Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the 1934 Act) that are
effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934
Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, including,
without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports
that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal
executive officer or officers and its principal financial officer or officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice or correspondence from any accountant, Governmental
Entity or other Person relating to any potential material weakness or significant deficiency in any part of the internal controls over
financial reporting of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(cc) Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements. There is no transaction, arrangement, or other relationship between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
and an unconsolidated or other off balance sheet entity that is required to be disclosed by the Company in its 1934 Act filings and is
not so disclosed or that otherwise could be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(dd) Investment
Company Status. The Company is not, and upon consummation of the sale of the Securities will not be, an “investment company,”
an affiliate of an “investment company,” a company controlled by an “investment company” or an “affiliated
person” of, or “promoter” or “principal underwriter” for, an “investment company” as such terms
are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
21
(ee) Acknowledgement
Regarding Buyers’ Trading Activity. It is understood and acknowledged by the Company that (i) following the public disclosure
of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, in accordance with the terms thereof, none of the Buyers have been asked
by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to agree, nor has any Buyer agreed with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, to desist from
effecting any transactions in or with respect to (including, without limitation, purchasing or selling, long and/or short) any securities
of the Company, or “derivative” securities based on securities issued by the Company or to hold any of the Securities for
any specified term; (ii) any Buyer, and counterparties in “derivative” transactions to which any such Buyer is a party,
directly or indirectly, presently may have a “short” position in the Common Stock which was established prior to such Buyer’s
knowledge of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents; (iii) each Buyer shall not be deemed to have any affiliation
with or control over any arm’s length counterparty in any “derivative” transaction; and (iv) each Buyer may rely
on the Company’s obligation to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange, as applicable, of the
Securities as and when required pursuant to the Transaction Documents for purposes of effecting trading in the Common Stock of the Company.
The Company further understands and acknowledges that following the public disclosure of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents pursuant to the applicable 8-K Filing (as defined below) one or more Buyers may engage in hedging and/or trading activities
(including, without limitation, the location and/or reservation of borrowable shares of Common Stock) at various times during the period
that the Securities are outstanding, including, without limitation, during the periods that the value and/or number of the Warrant Shares
and/or Conversion Shares, as applicable, deliverable with respect to the Securities are being determined and such hedging and/or trading
activities (including, without limitation, the location and/or reservation of borrowable shares of Common Stock), if any, can reduce
the value of the existing stockholders’ equity interest in the Company both at and after the time the hedging and/or trading activities
are being conducted. The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging and/or trading activities do not constitute a breach of
this Agreement, the Certificate of Designations, the Warrants or any other Transaction Document or any of the documents executed in connection
herewith or therewith.
(ff) Manipulation
of Price. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has, and, to the knowledge of the Company, no Person acting on their behalf
has, directly or indirectly, (i) taken any action designed to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price
of any security of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Securities, (ii) sold,
bid for, purchased, or paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the Securities, (iii) paid or agreed to pay to
any Person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (iv) paid
or agreed to pay any Person for research services with respect to any securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(gg) U.S.
Real Property Holding Corporation. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is, or has ever been, and so long as any of the
Securities are held by any of the Buyers, shall become, a U.S. real property holding corporation within the meaning of Section 897
of the Code, and the Company and each Subsidiary shall so certify upon any Buyer’s request.
22
(hh) Registration
Eligibility. The Company is eligible to register the Registrable Securities for resale by the Buyers using Form S-3 promulgated
under the 1933 Act, provided if Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the Registrable Securities (including as a result
of SEC rules, interpretations, positions or comments), or the SEC does not permit the filing to be made on Form S-3, then the Company
shall file the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (or any successor form).
(ii) Transfer
Taxes. On each Closing Date, all stock transfer or other taxes (other than income or similar taxes) which are required to be paid
in connection with the issuance, sale and transfer of the Securities to be sold to each Buyer hereunder will be, or will have been, fully
paid or provided for by the Company, and all laws imposing such taxes will be or will have been complied with.
(jj) Bank

The Company understands and confirms that each of the Buyers will rely on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in
securities of the Company. All disclosure provided to the Buyers regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries, their businesses and the
transactions contemplated hereby, including the schedules to this Agreement, furnished by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
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. All of the written
information furnished after the date hereof by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to each Buyer pursuant to or in
connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, taken as a whole, will be true and correct in all material respects
as of the date on which such information is so provided and will 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,

to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made,

Company but which has not been so publicly disclosed. All financial projections and forecasts that have been prepared by or on behalf
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and made available to the Buyers have been prepared in good faith based upon reasonable assumptions

of future financial performance (it being recognized that such financial projections or forecasts are not to be viewed as facts and that
the actual results during the period or periods covered by any such financial projections or forecasts may differ from the projected
or forecasted results). The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Buyer makes or has made any representations or warranties with respect
to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 2.

this Agreement, or any of the covenants or agreements contained in any other Transaction Document, by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries,
or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (as determined in the reasonable good faith judgment of such

to by a particular Buyer after the date hereof in a written definitive and binding agreement executed by the Company and such particular
Buyer (it being understood and agreed that no Buyer may bind any other Buyer with respect thereto)), any duty of confidentiality with
respect to, or a duty not to trade on the basis of, any material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents, provides any Buyer with material
non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, the “Confidential Information”),
the Company shall, on or prior to the applicable Required Disclosure Date (as defined below), publicly disclose such Confidential Information
on a Current Report on Form 8-K or otherwise (each, a “Disclosure”). From and after such Disclosure, the Company

agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, affiliates,
employees or agents, on the one hand, and any of the Buyers or any of their affiliates, on the other hand, shall terminate. In the event
that the Company fails to effect such Disclosure on or prior to the Required Disclosure Date and such Buyer shall have possessed Confidential
Information for at least ten (10) consecutive Trading Days (each, a “Disclosure Failure”), then, as partial relief
for the damages to such Buyer by reason of any such delay in, or reduction of, its ability to buy or sell shares of Common Stock after
such Required Disclosure Date (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity), the Company
shall pay to such Buyer an amount in cash equal to the greater of (I) two percent (2%) of the aggregate Purchase Price and (II) the
applicable Disclosure Restitution Amount (as defined below), on each of the following dates (each, a “Disclosure Delay Payment
Date”): (i) on the date of such Disclosure Failure and (ii) on every thirty (30) day anniversary such Disclosure
Failure until the earlier of (x) the date such Disclosure Failure is cured and (y) such time as all such non-public information
provided to such Buyer shall cease to be Confidential Information (as evidenced by a certificate, duly executed by an authorized officer
of the Company to the foregoing effect) (such earlier date, as applicable, a “Disclosure Cure Date”). Following the
initial Disclosure Delay Payment for any particular Disclosure Failure, without limiting the foregoing, if a Disclosure Cure Date occurs
prior to any thirty (30) day anniversary of such Disclosure Failure, then such Disclosure Delay Payment (prorated for such partial month)
shall be made on the second (2nd) Business Day after such Disclosure Cure Date. The payments to which an Investor shall be entitled pursuant
to this Section 4(i)(iii) are referred to herein as “Disclosure Delay Payments.” In the event the Company
fails to make Disclosure Delay Payments in a timely manner in accordance with the foregoing, such Disclosure Delay Payments shall bear
interest at the rate of two percent (2%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full.
(iv) For
the purpose of this Agreement the following definitions shall apply:

Failure Market Price” means, as of any Disclosure Delay Payment Date, the price computed as the quotient of (I) the sum
of the five (5) highest VWAPs (as defined in the Warrants) of the Common Stock during the applicable Disclosure Restitution Period
(as defined below), divided by (II) five (5) (such period, the “Disclosure Failure Measuring Period”). All
such determinations to be appropriately adjusted for any share dividend, share split, share combination, reclassification or similar
transaction that proportionately decreases or increases the Common Stock during such Disclosure Failure Measuring Period.
32
(2) “Disclosure
Restitution Amount” means, as of any Disclosure Delay Payment Date, the product of (x) difference of (I) the Disclosure
Failure Market Price less (II) the lowest purchase price, per share of Common Stock, of any Common Stock issued or issuable to such
Buyer pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, multiplied by (y) 10% of the aggregate daily dollar trading
volume (as reported on Bloomberg (as defined in the Warrants)) of the Common Stock on the Principal Market for each Trading Day either
(1) with respect to the initial Disclosure Delay Payment Date, during the period commencing on the applicable Required Disclosure
Date through and including the Trading Day immediately prior to the initial Disclosure Delay Payment Date or (2) with respect to
each other Disclosure Delay Payment Date, during the period commencing the immediately preceding Disclosure Delay Payment Date through
and including the Trading Day immediately prior to such applicable Disclosure Delay Payment Date (such applicable period, the “Disclosure
Restitution Period”).
(3) “Required
Disclosure Date” means (x) if such Buyer authorized the delivery of such Confidential Information, either (I) if
the Company and such Buyer have mutually agreed upon a date (as evidenced by an e-mail or other writing) of Disclosure of such Confidential
Information, such agreed upon date or (II) otherwise, the seventh (7th) calendar day after the date such Buyer first
received any Confidential Information or (y) if such Buyer did not authorize the delivery of such Confidential Information, the
first (1st) Business Day after such Buyer’s receipt of such Confidential Information.
(j) Additional
Registration Statements. Until the Applicable Date (as defined below) and at any time thereafter while any Registration Statement
is not effective or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use or any Current Public Information Failure (as defined in
the Registration Rights Agreement) exists, the Company shall not file a registration statement or an offering statement under the 1933
Act relating to securities that are not the Registrable Securities (other than a registration statement on (i) a registration statement
on Form S-8; (i) a registration statement on Form S-1 or Form S-3, as applicable, covering the resale of shares sold
pursuant to the Permitted Equity Line, or (iii) such supplements or amendments to registration statements that are outstanding and
have been declared effective by the SEC as of the date hereof (solely to the extent necessary to keep such registration statements effective
and available and not with respect to any Subsequent Placement (as defined below))). “Applicable Date” means the earlier
of (x) the first date on which the resale by the Buyers of all the Registrable Securities required to be filed on the initial Registration
Statement pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement is declared effective by the SEC (and each prospectus contained therein is available
for use on such date) or (y) the first date on which all of the Registrable Securities are eligible to be resold by the Buyers pursuant
to Rule 144 (or, if a Current Public Information Failure has occurred and is continuing, such later date after which the Company
has cured such Current Public Information Failure).
33
(k) Additional
Issuance of Securities. So long as any Buyer beneficially owns any Securities, the Company will not, without the prior written consent
of the Required Holders, issue any Preferred Shares (other than to the Buyers as contemplated hereby) and the Company shall not issue
any other securities that would cause a breach or default under the Certificate of Designations or the Warrants. The Company agrees that
for the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the date immediately following the 90th Trading Day after the Applicable
Date (provided that such period shall be extended by the number of calendar days during such period and any extension thereof contemplated
by this proviso on which any Registration Statement is not effective or any prospectus contained therein is not available for use or
any Current Public Information Failure exists) (the “Restricted Period”), neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries
shall directly or indirectly issue, offer, sell, grant any option or right to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any issuance,
offer, sale, grant of any option or right to purchase or other disposition of) any equity security or any equity-linked or related security
(including, without limitation, any “equity security” (as that term is defined under Rule 405 promulgated under the
1933 Act), any Common Stock Equivalents, any debt, any preferred stock or any purchase rights) (any such issuance, offer, sale, grant,
disposition or announcement (whether occurring during the Restricted Period or at any time thereafter) is referred to as a “Subsequent
Placement”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4(k) shall not apply in respect of the issuance of (i) shares
of Common Stock or standard options to purchase Common Stock to directors, officers or employees of the Company in their capacity as
such pursuant to an Approved Stock Plan (as defined below), provided that (1) all such issuances (taking into account the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such options) after the date hereof pursuant to this clause (i) do not, in the aggregate,
exceed more than 5% of the Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the date hereof and (2) the exercise price of
any such options is not lowered, none of such options are amended to increase the number of shares issuable thereunder and none of the
terms or conditions of any such options are otherwise materially changed in any manner that adversely affects any of the Buyers; (ii) shares
of Common Stock issued upon the conversion or exercise of Common Stock Equivalents (other than standard options to purchase Common Stock
issued pursuant to an Approved Stock Plan that are covered by clause (i) above) issued prior to the date hereof, provided that the
conversion, exercise or other method of issuance (as the case may be) of any such Common Stock Equivalents is made solely pursuant to
the conversion, exercise or other method of issuance (as the case may be) provisions of such Common Stock Equivalents that were in effect
on the date immediately prior to the date of this Agreement, the conversion, exercise or issuance price of any such Common Stock Equivalents
(other than standard options to purchase Common Stock issued pursuant to an Approved Stock Plan that are covered by clause (i) above)
is not lowered, none of such Common Stock Equivalents (other than standard options to purchase Common Stock issued pursuant to an Approved
Stock Plan that are covered by clause (i) above) are amended to increase the number of shares issuable thereunder and none of the
terms or conditions of any such Common Stock Equivalents (other than standard options to purchase Common Stock issued pursuant to an
Approved Stock Plan that are covered by clause (i) above) are otherwise materially changed in any manner that adversely affects
any of the Buyers; (iii) the Conversion Shares, (iv) the Warrant Shares and (v) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable
pursuant to the Permitted Equity Line, including the commitment shares issuable in connection therewith (the “Commitment Shares”
and together with each of the foregoing in clauses (i) through (v), collectively the “Excluded Securities”).
“Approved Stock Plan” means any employee benefit plan which has been approved by the board of directors of the Company
prior to or subsequent to the date hereof pursuant to which shares of Common Stock and standard options to purchase Common Stock may
be issued to any employee, officer or director for services provided to the Company in their capacity as such.
34
(l) Reservation
of Shares. So long as any of the Preferred Shares or Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to
at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance (i) if prior to the Stockholder Approval Date, 60,000,000
shares of Common Stock or (ii) from and after the Stockholder Approval Date, at least 200% of the maximum number of Conversion Shares
issuable upon conversion of all the Preferred Shares then outstanding (assuming for purposes hereof that (x) all Additional Preferred
Shares issuable hereunder shall have been issued at an Additional Closing on the Initial Closing Date, (y) the Preferred Shares
are convertible at the Alternate Conversion Price assuming an Alternate Conversion Date as of such applicable date of determination,
and (z) any such conversion shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of the Preferred Shares set forth in the
Certificate of Designations), and (ii) the maximum number of Warrant Shares initially issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (assuming
for purposes hereof that (x) all Additional Warrants issuable hereunder shall have been issued at an Additional Closing on the Initial
Closing Date and (y) any such exercise shall not take into account any limitations on the exercise of the Warrants set forth therein)
(collectively, the “Required Reserve Amount”); provided that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock
reserved pursuant to this Section 4(l) be reduced other than proportionally in connection with any conversion, exercise and/or
redemption, as applicable of Preferred Shares and Warrants. If at any time the number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved
for issuance is not sufficient to meet the Required Reserve Amount, the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to
authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of stockholders to authorize
additional shares to meet the Company’s obligations pursuant to the Transaction Documents, in the case of an insufficient number
of authorized shares, obtain stockholder approval of an increase in such authorized number of shares, and voting the management shares
of the Company in favor of an increase in the authorized shares of the Company to ensure that the number of authorized shares is sufficient
to meet the Required Reserve Amount.
(m) Conduct
of Business. The business of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation
of any Governmental Entity, except where such violations would not reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate,
in a Material Adverse Effect.
(n) Other
Preferred Shares; Variable Securities. Until the later of (x) the Additional Closing Expiration Date and (y) the date no
Preferred Shares remain outstanding (the “Covenant Defeasance Date”), the Company and each Subsidiary shall be prohibited
from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any Subsequent Placement involving a Variable Rate Transaction (other than the
Permitted Equity Line). “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company or any Subsidiary (i) issues
or sells any Common Stock Equivalents either (A) at a conversion, exercise 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 Common
Stock Equivalents, 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 Common Stock Equivalents 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, other than pursuant to a customary “weighted average”
anti-dilution provision or (ii) enters into any agreement (including, without limitation, an equity line of credit or an “at-the-market”
offering) whereby the Company or any Subsidiary may sell securities at a future determined price (other than standard and customary “preemptive”
or “participation” rights). Each Buyer shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company and its Subsidiaries
to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages. “Permitted Equity Line”
means the securities issuable under the equity line of credit pursuant to that certain Share Purchase Agreement, by and between (“Investor”) and the Company, executed on or about the date hereof, as amended and in effect
as of the date hereof.
35
(o) Participation
Right. At any time on or prior to the second anniversary of the Initial Closing Date hereunder, neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries shall, directly or indirectly, effect any Subsequent Placement unless the Company shall have first complied with this Section 4(o).
The Company acknowledges and agrees that the right set forth in this Section 4(o) is a right granted by the Company, separately,
to each Buyer.
(i) At
least five (5) Trading Days prior to any proposed or intended Subsequent Placement, the Company shall deliver to each Buyer a written
notice (each such notice, a “Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall not contain any information (including, without
limitation, material, non-public information) other than: (A) if the proposed Offer Notice (as defined below) constitutes or contains
material, non-public information, a statement asking whether the Investor is willing to accept material non-public information or (B) if
the proposed Offer Notice does not constitute or contain material, non-public information, (x) a statement that the Company proposes
or intends to effect a Subsequent Placement, (y) a statement that the statement in clause (x) above does not constitute material,
non-public information and (z) a statement informing such Buyer that it is entitled to receive an Offer Notice (as defined below)
with respect to such Subsequent Placement upon its written request. Upon the written request of a Buyer within three (3) Trading
Days after the Company’s delivery to such Buyer of such Pre-Notice, and only upon a written request by such Buyer, the Company
shall promptly, but no later than one (1) Trading Day after such request, deliver to such Buyer an irrevocable written notice (the
“Offer Notice”) of any proposed or intended issuance or sale or exchange (the “Offer”) of the securities
being offered (the “Offered Securities”) in a Subsequent Placement, which Offer Notice shall (A) identify and
describe the Offered Securities, (B) describe the price and other terms upon which they are to be issued, sold or exchanged, and
the number or amount of the Offered Securities to be issued, sold or exchanged, (C) identify the Persons (if known) to which or
with which the Offered Securities are to be offered, issued, sold or exchanged and (D) offer to issue and sell to or exchange with
such Buyer in accordance with the terms of the Offer such Buyer’s pro rata portion of 30% of the Offered Securities, provided that
the number of Offered Securities which such Buyer shall have the right to subscribe for under this Section 4(o) shall be (x) based
on such Buyer’s pro rata portion of the aggregate number of Preferred Shares purchased hereunder by all Buyers on the Initial Closing
Date (the “Basic Amount”), and (y) with respect to each Buyer that elects to purchase its Basic Amount, any additional
portion of the Offered Securities attributable to the Basic Amounts of other Buyers as such Buyer shall indicate it will purchase or
acquire should the other Buyers subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts (the “Undersubscription Amount”), which
process shall be repeated until each Buyer shall have an opportunity to subscribe for any remaining Undersubscription Amount.
36
(ii) To
accept an Offer, in whole or in part, such Buyer must deliver a written notice to the Company prior to the end of the fifth (5th)
Business Day after such Buyer’s receipt of the Offer Notice (the “Offer Period”), setting forth the portion
of such Buyer’s Basic Amount that such Buyer elects to purchase and, if such Buyer shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount,
the Undersubscription Amount, if any, that such Buyer elects to purchase (in either case, the “Notice of Acceptance”).
If the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Buyers are less than the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then each Buyer who has set forth
an Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for,
the Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed for; provided, however, if the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference
between the total of all the Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the “Available Undersubscription Amount”),
each Buyer who has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase only that portion of the Available Undersubscription
Amount as the Basic Amount of such Buyer bears to the total Basic Amounts of all Buyers that have subscribed for Undersubscription Amounts,
subject to rounding by the Company to the extent it deems reasonably necessary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company desires
to modify or amend the terms and conditions of the Offer prior to the expiration of the Offer Period, the Company may deliver to each
Buyer a new Offer Notice and the Offer Period shall expire on the fifth (5th) Business Day after such Buyer’s receipt
of such new Offer Notice.
(iii) The
Company shall have five (5) Business Days from the expiration of the Offer Period above (A) to offer, issue, sell or exchange
all or any part of such Offered Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by a Buyer (the “Refused Securities”)
pursuant to a definitive agreement(s) (the “Subsequent Placement Agreement”), but only to the offerees described
in the Offer Notice (if so described therein) and only upon terms and conditions (including, without limitation, unit prices and interest
rates) that are not more favorable to the acquiring Person or Persons or less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Offer
Notice and (B) to publicly announce (x) the execution of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, and (y) either (I) the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by such Subsequent Placement Agreement or (II) the termination of such Subsequent
Placement Agreement, which shall be filed with the SEC on a Current Report on Form 8-K with such Subsequent Placement Agreement
and any documents contemplated therein filed as exhibits thereto.
(iv) In
the event the Company shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Securities (any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms
specified in Section 4(o)(iii) above), then each Buyer may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, withdraw its Notice
of Acceptance or reduce the number or amount of the Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance to an amount that shall
be not less than the number or amount of the Offered Securities that such Buyer elected to purchase pursuant to Section 4(o)(ii) above
multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number or amount of Offered Securities the Company actually proposes
to issue, sell or exchange (including Offered Securities to be issued or sold to Buyers pursuant to this Section 4(o) prior
to such reduction) and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the original amount of the Offered Securities. In the event that any
Buyer so elects to reduce the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, the Company may not issue,
sell or exchange more than the reduced number or amount of the Offered Securities unless and until such securities have again been offered
to the Buyers in accordance with Section 4(o)(i) above.
37
(v) Upon
the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused Securities, such Buyer shall acquire from the Company,
and the Company shall issue to such Buyer, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, as reduced
pursuant to Section 4(o)(iv) above if such Buyer has so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer. The
purchase by such Buyer of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by the Company and
such Buyer of a separate purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to such
Buyer and its counsel.
(vi) Any
Offered Securities not acquired by a Buyer or other Persons in accordance with this Section 4(o) may not be issued, sold or
exchanged until they are again offered to such Buyer under the procedures specified in this Agreement.
(vii) The
Company and each Buyer agree that if any Buyer elects to participate in the Offer, (x) neither the Subsequent Placement Agreement
with respect to such Offer nor any other transaction documents related thereto (collectively, the “Subsequent Placement Documents”)
shall include any term or provision whereby such Buyer shall be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any securities
of the Company or be required to consent to any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver, release or the like under or in
connection with, any agreement previously entered into with the Company or any instrument received from the Company, and (y) any
registration rights set forth in such Subsequent Placement Documents shall be similar in all material respects to the registration rights
contained in the Registration Rights Agreement.
(viii) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 4(o) and unless otherwise agreed to by such Buyer, the Company shall either confirm
in writing to such Buyer that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Placement has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose
its intention to issue the Offered Securities, in either case, in such a manner such that such Buyer will not be in possession of any
material, non-public information, by the fifth (5th) Business Day following delivery of the Offer Notice. If by such fifth
(5th) Business Day, no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Offered Securities has been made, and
no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by such Buyer, such transaction shall be deemed to have been
abandoned and such Buyer shall not be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries. Should the Company decide to pursue such transaction with respect to the Offered Securities, the Company shall provide
such Buyer with another Offer Notice and such Buyer will again have the right of participation set forth in this Section 4(o). The
Company shall not be permitted to deliver more than one such Offer Notice to such Buyer in any sixty (60) day period, except as expressly
contemplated by the last sentence of Section 4(o)(ii).
38
(ix) The
restrictions contained in this Section 4(o) shall not apply in connection with the issuance of any Excluded Securities. The
Company shall not circumvent the provisions of this Section 4(o) by providing terms or conditions to one Buyer that are not
provided to all.
(p) Dilutive
Issuances During the period commencing on the Initial Closing Date and ending on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Initial
Closing Date, the Company shall not, in any manner, grant, issue or sell (or enter into any agreement to grant, issue or sell),
including the granting, issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding
any Excluded Securities granted, issued or sold or deemed to have been granted, issued or sold, for a consideration per share less
than a price equal to the Conversion Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) in effect immediately prior to such
granting, issuance or sale or deemed granting, issuance or sale.
(q) Passive
Foreign Investment Company. The Company shall conduct its business, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to conduct their respective
businesses, in such a manner as will ensure that the Company will not be deemed to constitute a passive foreign investment company within
the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code.
(r) Restriction
on Redemption and Cash Dividends. Prior to the Covenant Defeasance Date, the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, redeem, or
declare or pay any cash dividend or distribution on, any securities of the Company without the prior express written consent of the Buyers
(other than as required by the Certificate of Designations).
(s) Corporate
Existence. So long as any Buyer beneficially owns any Preferred Shares or Warrants, the Company shall not be party to any Fundamental
Transaction (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) unless the Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing
Fundamental Transactions set forth in the Certificate of Designations and the Warrants.
(t) Stock
Splits. Prior to the Covenant Defeasance Date, the Company shall not effect any stock combination, reverse stock split or other similar
transaction (or make any public announcement or disclosure with respect to any of the foregoing) without the prior written consent of
the Required Holders except as necessary to maintain the listing of the Common Stock on the Principal Market.
(u) Conversion
and Exercise Procedures. Each of the form of Exercise Notice (as defined in the Warrants) included in the Warrants and the form of
Conversion Notice (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) included in the Certificate of Designations set forth the totality
of the procedures required of the Buyers in order to exercise the Warrants or convert the Preferred Shares. Except as provided in Section 5(d),
no additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Buyers to exercise their Warrants or convert
their Preferred Shares. The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and conversions of the Preferred Shares and shall deliver the
Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Certificate of Designations
and Warrants. Without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original Conversion Notice or Exercise Notice shall be required, nor shall
any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Conversion Notice or Exercise Notice form be required in
order to convert the Preferred Shares or exercise the Warrants.
39
(v) Regulation
M. The Company will not take any action prohibited by Regulation M under the 1934 Act, in connection with the distribution of the
Securities contemplated hereby.
(w) General
Solicitation. None of the Company, any of its affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) under the 1933 Act) or any person
acting on behalf of the Company or such affiliate will solicit any offer to buy or offer or sell the Securities by means of any form
of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Regulation D, including: (i) any advertisement, article,
notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar medium or broadcast over television or radio; and (ii) any
seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.
(x) Integration.
None of the Company, any of its affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) under the 1933 Act), or any person acting on behalf
of the Company or such affiliate will sell, offer for sale, or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security
(as defined in the 1933 Act) which will be integrated with the sale of the Securities in a manner which would require the registration
of the Securities under the 1933 Act or require stockholder approval under the rules and regulations of the Principal Market and
the Company will take all action that is appropriate or necessary to assure that its offerings of other securities will not be integrated
for purposes of the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the Principal Market, with the issuance of Securities contemplated
hereby.
(y) Notice
of Disqualification Events. The Company will notify the Buyers in writing, prior to each Closing Date of (i) any Disqualification
Event relating to any Issuer Covered Person and (ii) any event that would, with the passage of time, become a Disqualification
Event relating to any Issuer Covered Person.
(z) Stockholder
Approval. The Company shall either (x) if the Company shall have obtained the prior written consent of the requisite stockholders
(the “Stockholder Consent”) to obtain the Stockholder Approval (as defined below), inform the stockholders of the
Company of the receipt of the Stockholder Consent by preparing and filing with the SEC, as promptly as practicable after the date hereof,
but prior to the forty-fifth (45th) calendar day after the Initial Closing Date (or, if such filing is delayed by a court or regulatory
agency, in no event later than 90 calendar days after the Initial Closing), an information statement with respect thereto or (y) provide
each stockholder entitled to vote at a special or annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (the “Stockholder Meeting”),
which shall be promptly called and held not later than the earlier of (I) the sixtieth (60th) calendar day after the Initial Closing
Date and (II) the date of the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders (the “Stockholder Meeting Deadline”),
a proxy statement, in each case, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Buyers and Meister Seelig & Fein PLLC, at the expense
of the Company, with the Company obligated to reimburse the expenses of Meister Seelig & Fein PLLC incurred in connection therewith
in an amount not exceed $5,000. The proxy statement, if any, shall solicit each of the Company’s stockholder’s affirmative
vote at the Stockholder Meeting for approval of resolutions (“Stockholder Resolutions”) providing for the approval
of (A) an increase in the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock from 300,000,000 to 5,000,000,000, (B) the amendment
of the Certificate of Incorporation to remove the Company’s inability to obtain stockholder approval by written consent, (C) the
issuance of all of the Securities in compliance with the rules and regulations of the Principal Market (without regard to any limitations
on conversion or exercise set forth in the Certificate of Designations or Warrants, respectively, and without giving effect to the limitation
on the Conversion Floor Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) pursuant to Section 8(j) of the Certificate
of Designation), (D) a reverse stock split of the Common Stock in such ratio as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company
in order to comply with the continued listing standards of the Principal Market, (E) an increase in the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable under the Company's 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, in such amount as determined by the Board of Directors of
the Company, and (F) if the Stockholder Meeting is held in connection with an annual meeting of stockholders, such other resolutions
as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (such affirmative approval being referred to herein as the “Stockholder
Approval”, and the date such Stockholder Approval is obtained, the “Stockholder Approval Date”), and the
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such resolutions and to cause the Board
of Directors of the Company to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such resolutions. The Company shall be obligated to seek
to obtain the Stockholder Approval by the Stockholder Meeting Deadline. If, despite the Company’s reasonable best efforts the Stockholder
Approval is not obtained on or prior to the Stockholder Meeting Deadline, the Company shall cause an additional Stockholder Meeting to
be held on or prior to the forty-fifth (45th) calendar day following the failure to obtain Stockholder Approval. If, despite the Company’s
reasonable best efforts the Stockholder Approval is not obtained after such subsequent stockholder meetings, the Company shall cause
an additional Stockholder Meeting to be held semi-annually thereafter until such Stockholder Approval is obtained. The Company shall
not consummate any Subsequent Placement at a New Issuance Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) less than the Conversion
Floor Price until the Company shall have obtained the Stockholder Approval and Section 8(j) of the Certificate of Designation
is no longer applicable (or, if earlier, the Covenant Defeasance Date).
40
(bb) Consultant.
The Company shall, within thirty (30) days of the Initial Closing Date, retain a consultant, recommended by the Required Holders and
reasonably acceptable to the Company, to provide advice on strategic acquisitions and new business development and related consulting
services, for compensation not to exceed $240,000.00.
(cc) Closing
Documents. On or prior to fourteen (14) calendar days after each Closing Date, the Company agrees to deliver, or cause to be delivered,
to each Buyer and Meister Seelig & Fein PLLC a complete closing set of the executed Transaction Documents, Securities and any
other document required to be delivered to any party pursuant to Section 7 hereof or otherwise.
5. REGISTER;
TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS; LEGEND.
(a) Register.
The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice
to each holder of Securities), a register for the Preferred Shares and the Warrants in which the Company shall record the name and address
of the Person in whose name the Preferred Shares and the Warrants have been issued (including the name and address of each transferee),
the aggregate number of Preferred Shares held by such Person, the number of Conversion Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of the Certificate
of Designations and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by such Person. The Company shall keep the
register open and available at all times during business hours for inspection of any Buyer or its legal representatives.
41
(b) Transfer
Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent and any subsequent transfer agent (as
applicable, the “Transfer Agent”) in a form acceptable to each of the Buyers (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent
Instructions”) to issue certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”),
registered in the name of each Buyer or its respective nominee(s), for the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares in such amounts as
specified from time to time by each Buyer to the Company upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or the exercise of the Warrants (as
the case may be). The Company represents and warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred
to in this Section 5(b), and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2(g) hereof, will be given by the Company
to its transfer agent with respect to the Securities, and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and
records of the Company, as applicable, to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. If a Buyer effects
a sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities in accordance with Section 2(g), the Company shall permit the transfer and shall
promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in
such name and in such denominations as specified by such Buyer to effect such sale, transfer or assignment. In the event that such sale,
assignment or transfer involves Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an effective registration
statement or in compliance with Rule 144, the transfer agent shall issue such shares to such Buyer, assignee or transferee (as the
case may be) without any restrictive legend in accordance with Section 5(d) below. The Company acknowledges that a breach by
it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a Buyer. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law
for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5(b) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened
breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 5(b), that a Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available
remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of
showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall cause its counsel to issue the legal opinion
referred to in the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions to the Company’s transfer agent on each Effective Date (as defined in
the Registration Rights Agreement). Any fees (with respect to the transfer agent, counsel to the Company or otherwise) associated with
the issuance of such opinion or the removal of any legends on any of the Securities shall be borne by the Company.
(c) Legends.
Each Buyer understands that the Securities have been issued (or will be issued in the case of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares)
pursuant to an exemption from registration or qualification under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, and except as set
forth below, the Securities shall bear any legend as required by the “blue sky” laws of any state and a restrictive legend
in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):
[NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE [CONVERTIBLE] [EXERCISABLE] HAVE BEEN][THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN] REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO
THE HOLDER (IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY), IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED
UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD OR ELIGIBLE TO BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE
FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED
BY THE SECURITIES.
42
(d) Removal
of Legends. Certificates evidencing Securities shall not be required to contain the legend set forth in Section 5(c) above
or any other legend (i) while a registration statement (including a Registration Statement) covering the resale of such Securities
is effective under the 1933 Act, (ii) following any sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferor is
not an affiliate of the Company), (iii) if such Securities are eligible to be sold, assigned or transferred under Rule 144
(provided that a Buyer provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such Securities are eligible for sale, assignment or transfer
under Rule 144 which shall not include an opinion of Buyer’s counsel), (iv) in connection with a sale, assignment or
other transfer (other than under Rule 144), provided that such Buyer provides the Company with an opinion of counsel to such Buyer,
in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities may be made without registration
under the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act or (v) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the 1933
Act (including, without limitation, controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the SEC). If a legend is not required
pursuant to the foregoing, the Company shall no later than one (1) Trading Day (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the
1934 Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade initiated on the date such Buyer delivers such
legended certificate representing such Securities to the Company) following the delivery by a Buyer to the Company or the transfer agent
(with notice to the Company) of a legended certificate representing such Securities (endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures
guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer, if applicable), together with any other deliveries
from such Buyer as may be required above in this Section 5(d), as directed by such Buyer, either: (A) provided that the Company’s
transfer agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (“FAST”) and such Securities
are Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, credit the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which such Buyer shall be entitled
to such Buyer’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system or (B) if
the Company’s transfer agent is not participating in FAST, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to such Buyer, a
certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends, registered in the name of such Buyer or
its designee (the date by which such credit is so required to be made to the balance account of such Buyer’s or such Buyer’s
designee with DTC or such certificate is required to be delivered to such Buyer pursuant to the foregoing is referred to herein as the
“Required Delivery Date”, and the date such shares of Common Stock are actually delivered without restrictive legend
to such Buyer or such Buyer’s designee with DTC, as applicable, the “Share Delivery Date”). The Company shall
be responsible for any transfer agent fees or DTC fees with respect to any issuance of Securities or the removal of any legends with
respect to any Securities in accordance herewith.
43
(e) Failure
to Timely Deliver; Buy-In. If the Company fails, for any reason or for no reason, to issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered)
to a Buyer (or its designee) by the Required Delivery Date, either (I) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, a certificate
for the number of Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares (as the case may be) to which such Buyer is entitled and register such Conversion
Shares or Warrant Shares (as the case may be) on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST,
to credit the balance account of such Buyer or such Buyer’s designee with DTC for such number of Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares
(as the case may be) submitted for legend removal by such Buyer pursuant to Section 5(d) above or (II) if the Registration
Statement covering the resale of the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares (as the case may be) submitted for legend removal by such Buyer
pursuant to Section 5(d) above (the “Unavailable Shares”) is not available for the resale of such Unavailable
Shares and the Company fails to promptly, but in no event later than as required pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (x) so
notify such Buyer and (y) deliver the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable, electronically without any restrictive
legend by crediting such aggregate number of Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares (as the case may be) submitted for legend removal by
such Buyer pursuant to Section 5(d) above to such Buyer’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its
Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system (the event described in the immediately foregoing clause (II) is hereinafter referred as
a “Notice Failure” and together with the event described in clause (I) above, a “Delivery Failure”),
then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Buyer, the Company shall pay in cash to such Buyer on each day after the Share
Delivery Date and during such Delivery Failure an amount equal to 2% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common
Stock not issued to such Buyer on or prior to the Required Delivery Date and to which such Buyer is entitled, and (B) any trading
price of the Common Stock selected by such Buyer in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the date of the delivery
by such Buyer to the Company of the applicable Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares (as the case may be) and ending on the applicable
Share Delivery Date. In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to the Required Delivery Date either (I) if the Transfer Agent
is not participating in FAST, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to a Buyer and register such shares of Common
Stock on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, credit the balance account of such Buyer
or such Buyer’s designee with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Buyer submitted for legend removal by
such Buyer pursuant to Section 5(d) above (ii) below or (II) a Notice Failure occurs, and if on or after such Trading
Day such Buyer acquires (in an open market transaction, stock loan or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of
a sale by such Buyer of shares of Common Stock submitted for legend removal by such Buyer pursuant to Section 5(d) above that
such Buyer is entitled to receive from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within one (1) Trading
Day after such Buyer’s request and in such Buyer’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to such Buyer in an amount equal
to such Buyer’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, stock loan costs, and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any,
for the shares of Common Stock so acquired) (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of such applicable
Buyer) (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so deliver such certificate or credit
such Buyer’s balance account shall terminate and such shares shall be cancelled, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to
so deliver to such Buyer a certificate or certificates or credit the balance account of such Buyer or such Buyer’s designee with
DTC representing such number of shares of Common Stock that would have been so delivered if the Company timely complied with its obligations
hereunder and pay cash to such Buyer in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such
number of shares of Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares (as the case may be) that the Company was required to deliver to such Buyer by
the Required Delivery Date multiplied by (B) the lowest Closing Sale Price (as defined in the Warrants) of the Common Stock on any
Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery by such Buyer to the Company of the applicable Conversion Shares
or Warrant Shares (as the case may be) and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this clause (ii). Nothing shall limit
such Buyer’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation,
a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates
representing shares of Common Stock (or to electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock) as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any given Notice Failure and/or Delivery Failure, this Section 5(e) shall
not apply to the applicable Buyer the extent the Company has already paid such amounts in full to such Buyer with respect to such Notice
Failure and/or Delivery Failure, as applicable, pursuant to the analogous sections of the Certificate of Designations or Warrant, as
applicable, with respect to the Preferred Shares or Warrants, as applicable, then held by such Buyer.

Nothing contained in this Section 8 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the
terms and provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance
by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.
9. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement
shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any provision of law 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 courts sitting in The
City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or under any of the other
Transaction Documents or with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert
in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit,
action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party
hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by
mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute
good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to
serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude any Buyer from bringing
suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to such
Buyer or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of such Buyer. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE
TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR
IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
50
(b) Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and
shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. In the event that any signature
is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature
page, such signature page 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 signature page were an original thereof.
(c) Headings;
Gender. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation
of, this Agreement. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine,
neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words
of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,”
“hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in
which they are found.
(d) Severability;
Maximum Payment Amounts. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable
by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended
to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall
not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express,
without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity
or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations
of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor
in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect
of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (and without implication that the following is required or applicable),
it is the intention of the parties that in no event shall amounts and value paid by the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries (as the
case may be), or payable to or received by any of the Buyers, under the Transaction Documents (including without limitation, any amounts
that would be characterized as “interest” under applicable law) exceed amounts permitted under any applicable law. Accordingly,
if any obligation to pay, payment made to any Buyer, or collection by any Buyer pursuant the Transaction Documents is finally judicially
determined to be contrary to any such applicable law, such obligation to pay, payment or collection shall be deemed to have been made
by mutual mistake of such Buyer, the Company and its Subsidiaries and such amount shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive
effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by the applicable law. Such adjustment
shall be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing or refunding, at the option of such Buyer, the amount of interest or any other
amounts which would constitute unlawful amounts required to be paid or actually paid to such Buyer under the Transaction Documents. For
greater certainty, to the extent that any interest, charges, fees, expenses or other amounts required to be paid to or received by such
Buyer under any of the Transaction Documents or related thereto are held to be within the meaning of “interest” or another
applicable term to otherwise be violative of applicable law, such amounts shall be pro-rated over the period of time to which they relate.
51
(e) Entire
Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto
and the instruments referenced herein and therein supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Buyers, the Company,
its Subsidiaries, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf, including, without limitation, any transactions by any Buyer with
respect to Common Stock or the Securities, and the other matters contained herein and therein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction
Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire
understanding of the parties solely with respect to the matters covered herein and therein; provided, however, nothing contained in this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall (or shall be deemed to) (i) have any effect on any agreements any Buyer has entered
into with, or any instruments any Buyer has received from, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof with respect
to any prior investment made by such Buyer in the Company or (ii) waive, alter, modify or amend in any respect any obligations of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any rights of or benefits to any Buyer or any other Person, in any agreement entered into
prior to the date hereof between or among the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries and any Buyer, or any instruments any Buyer received
from the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof, and all such agreements and instruments shall continue in full
force and effect. Except as specifically set forth herein or therein, 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 Holders (as defined below),
and any amendment to any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 9(e) 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 (A) applies
to less than all of the holders of the Securities then outstanding or (B) 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 Holders
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 9(e) 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 (other than reimbursement of legal
fees) 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, all holders of the Preferred
Shares or all holders of the Warrants (as the case may be). From the date hereof and while any Preferred Shares or Warrants are outstanding,
the Company shall not be permitted to receive any consideration from a Buyer or a holder of Preferred Shares or Warrants that is not
otherwise contemplated by the Transaction Documents in order to, directly or indirectly, induce the Company or any Subsidiary (i) to
treat such Buyer or holder of Preferred Shares or Warrants in a manner that is more favorable than to other similarly situated Buyers
or holders of Preferred Shares or Warrants, as applicable, or (ii) to treat any Buyer(s) or holder(s) of Preferred Shares
or Warrants in a manner that is less favorable than the Buyer or holder of Preferred Shares or Warrants that is paying such consideration;
provided, however, that the determination of whether a Buyer has been treated more or less favorably than another Buyer shall disregard
any securities of the Company purchased or sold by any Buyer. 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, any Subsidiary or otherwise. As a material inducement
for each Buyer to enter into this Agreement, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (x) 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,

including any purchasers of any of the Preferred Shares and Warrants. The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, including, without limitation, by way of a Fundamental Transaction
(as defined in the Warrants) (unless the Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Transactions set
forth in the Warrants) or a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) (unless the Company is in compliance
with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Transactions set forth in the Certificate of Designations). A Buyer may assign some

event such assignee shall be deemed to be a Buyer hereunder with respect to such assigned rights.
(h) No
Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors
and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, other than the Indemnitees
referred to in Section 9(k).
(i) Survival.
The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants shall survive each Closing. Each Buyer shall be responsible only for its own
representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.
(j) Further
Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute
and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to
carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
(k) Indemnification.
In consideration of each Buyer’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and
in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify
and hold harmless each Buyer and each holder of any Securities and all of their stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors,
employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without
limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”)
from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses
in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is
sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred
by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or
warranty made by the Company or any Subsidiary in any of the Transaction Documents, (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement or
obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary contained in any of the Transaction Documents or (iii) any cause of action, suit, proceeding
or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf
of the Company or any Subsidiary) or which otherwise involves such Indemnitee that arises out of or results from (A) the execution,
delivery, performance or enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents, (B) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole
or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, (C) any disclosure properly made by such
Buyer pursuant to Section 4(i), or (D) the status of such Buyer or holder of the Securities either as an investor in the Company
pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or as a party to this Agreement (including, without limitation,
as a party in interest or otherwise in any action or proceeding for injunctive or other equitable relief). To the extent that the foregoing
undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction
of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the mechanics
and procedures with respect to the rights and obligations under this Section 9(k) shall be the same as those set forth in Section 6
of the Registration Rights Agreement.
54
(l) Construction.
The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of
strict construction will be applied against any party. No specific representation or warranty shall limit the generality or applicability
of a more general representation or warranty. Each and every reference to share prices, shares of Common Stock and any other numbers
in this Agreement that relate to the Common Stock shall be automatically adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations,
recapitalizations or other similar transactions that occur with respect to the Common Stock after the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or
warranty against, or a prohibition of, any actions with respect to the borrowing of, arrangement to borrow, identification of the availability
of, and/or securing of, securities of the Company in order for such Buyer (or its broker or other financial representative) to effect
short sales or similar transactions in the future.
(m) Remedies.
Each Buyer and in the event of assignment by Buyer of its rights and obligations hereunder, each holder of Securities, shall have all
rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time
under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under
any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to
recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore,
the Company recognizes that in the event that it or any Subsidiary fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its or such
Subsidiary’s (as the case may be) obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law would inadequate relief to the
Buyers. The Company therefore agrees that the Buyers shall be entitled to specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent
injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual
damages and without posting a bond or other security. The remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall
be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in
equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief).
55
(n) Withdrawal
Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents,
whenever any Buyer exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company or any Subsidiary does
not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Buyer may rescind or withdraw, in its sole
discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company or such Subsidiary (as the case may be), any relevant notice, demand
or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.
(o) Payment
Set Aside; Currency. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Buyer hereunder or pursuant to any of the
other Transaction Documents or any of the Buyers enforce or exercise their rights hereunder or 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, foreign, 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.
Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are in United
States Dollars (“U.S. Dollars”), and all amounts owing under this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents shall
be paid in U.S. Dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies (if any) shall be converted into the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount
in accordance with the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation. “Exchange Rate” means, in relation to any amount
of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant to this Agreement, the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as published in the Wall Street
Journal on the relevant date of calculation.
(p) Judgment
Currency.
(i) If
for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Company in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document
in any court in any jurisdiction it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this
Section 9(p) referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in US Dollars under this Agreement, the
conversion shall be made at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Trading Day immediately preceding:
(1) the
date actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of New York or in the courts of any other jurisdiction
that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date: or
(2) the
date on which the foreign court determines, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the date as of which
such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 9(p)(i)(2) being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Conversion
Date”).
56
(ii) If
in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 9(p)(i)(2) above, there is a change
in the Exchange Rate prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the applicable
party shall pay such adjusted amount as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the
Exchange Rate prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of US Dollars which could have been purchased with the amount
of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date.
(iii) Any
amount due from the Company under this provision shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained
for any other amounts due under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
(q) Independent
Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Buyer under 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 Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by
any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Buyers as, and the Company acknowledges that the Buyers do not
so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the
Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity, and the Company shall not assert any such claim with respect to such
obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or any matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Buyers
are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The decision of each Buyer to purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has
been made by such Buyer independently of any other Buyer. Each Buyer acknowledges that no other Buyer has acted as agent for such Buyer
in connection with such Buyer making its investment hereunder and that no other Buyer will be acting as agent of such Buyer in connection
with monitoring such Buyer’s investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. The Company
and each Buyer confirms that each Buyer has independently participated with the Company and its Subsidiaries in the negotiation of the
transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. 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 any 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 use of
a single agreement to effectuate the purchase and sale of the Securities contemplated hereby was solely in the control of the Company,
not the action or decision of any Buyer, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and its Subsidiaries and not because
it was required or requested to do so by any Buyer. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement
and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company, each Subsidiary and a Buyer, solely, and not between the Company, its
Subsidiaries and the Buyers collectively and not between and among the Buyers.

by the Required Holders) the “Selling Stockholders” and “Plan of Distribution” sections in substantially

Statement, and each other Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, declared effective by the
SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the applicable Effectiveness Deadline for such Registration Statement.
3
(b) Legal
Counsel. Subject to Section 5 hereof, Mesiter Seelig & Fein PLLC, counsel solely to the lead investor (“Legal
Counsel”) shall review and oversee any registration, solely on behalf of the lead investor, pursuant to this Section 2.
(c) Ineligibility
to Use Form S-3. In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities
hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or another appropriate form reasonably
acceptable to the Required Holders and (ii) undertake to register the resale of the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon

such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all the Registrable Securities has been declared effective
by the SEC and the prospectus contained therein is available for use.
(d) Sufficient
Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of shares available under any Registration Statement is insufficient to cover
all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement or an Investor’s allocated portion of the
Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(h), the Company shall amend such Registration Statement (if permissible), or file with
the SEC a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover at least the Required
Registration Amount as of the Trading Day (as defined in the Warrants) immediately preceding the date of the filing of such amendment
or new Registration Statement, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than fifteen (15) days after the necessity
therefor arises (but taking account of any Staff (as defined below) position with respect to the date on which the Staff will permit such
amendment to the Registration Statement and/or such new Registration Statement (as the case may be) to be filed with the SEC). The Company
shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment to such Registration Statement and/or such new Registration Statement (as
the case may be) to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof with the SEC, but in no event later than the
applicable Effectiveness Deadline for such Registration Statement. For purposes of the foregoing provision, the number of shares available
under a Registration Statement shall be deemed “insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities” if at any time the
number of shares of Common Stock available for resale under the applicable Registration Statement is less than the product determined
by multiplying (i) the Required Registration Amount as of such time by (ii) 0.90. The calculation set forth in the foregoing
sentence shall be made without regard to any limitations on conversion, amortization and/or redemption of the Preferred Shares or exercise
of the Warrants (and such calculation shall assume (A) that the Preferred Shares are then convertible in full into shares of Common
Stock at the then prevailing Conversion Rate (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), (B) the Preferred Shares remain outstanding
and no redemptions of the Preferred Shares occurs and (C) the Warrants are then exercisable in full into shares of Common Stock at
the then prevailing Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrants)).
4
(e) Effect
of Failure to File and Obtain and Maintain Effectiveness of any Registration Statement. If (i) a Registration Statement covering
the resale of all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered thereby (disregarding any reduction pursuant to Section 2(f))
and required to be filed by the Company pursuant to this Agreement is (A) not filed with the SEC on or before the Filing Deadline
for such Registration Statement (a “Filing Failure”) (it being understood that if the Company files a Registration
Statement without affording each Investor and Legal Counsel the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section 3(c) hereof,
the Company shall be deemed to not have satisfied this clause (i)(A) and such event shall be deemed to be a Filing Failure)
or (B) not declared effective by the SEC on or before the Effectiveness Deadline for such Registration Statement (an “Effectiveness
Failure”) (it being understood that if on the Business Day immediately following the Effective Date for such Registration Statement
the Company shall not have filed a “final” prospectus for such Registration Statement with the SEC under Rule 424(b) in
accordance with Section 3(b) (whether or not such a prospectus is technically required by such rule), the Company shall be deemed
to not have satisfied this clause (i)(B) and such event shall be deemed to be an Effectiveness Failure), (ii) other than during
an Allowable Grace Period (as defined below), on any day after the Effective Date of a Registration Statement sales of all of the Registrable
Securities required to be included on such Registration Statement (disregarding any reduction pursuant to Section 2(f)) cannot be
made pursuant to such Registration Statement (including, without limitation, because of a failure to keep such Registration Statement
effective, a failure to disclose such information as is necessary for sales to be made pursuant to such Registration Statement, a suspension
or delisting of (or a failure to timely list) the shares of Common Stock on the Principal Market (as defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreement) or any other limitations imposed by the Principal Market, or a failure to register a sufficient number of shares of Common
Stock or by reason of a stop order) or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use for any reason (a “Maintenance
Failure”), or (iii) if a Registration Statement is not effective for any reason or the prospectus contained therein is
not available for use for any reason, and either (x) the Company fails for any reason to satisfy the requirements of Rule 144(c)(1),
including, without limitation, the failure to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) or (y) the
Company has ever been an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) or becomes such an issuer in the future, and the Company shall
fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) (a “Current Public Information Failure”) as a result
of which any of the Investors are unable to sell Registrable Securities without restriction under Rule 144 (including, without limitation,
volume restrictions), then, as partial relief for the damages to any holder by reason of any such delay in, or reduction of, its ability
to sell the underlying shares of Common Stock (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity,
including, without limitation, specific performance), the Company shall pay to each holder of Registrable Securities relating to such
Registration Statement an amount in cash equal to two percent (2%) of such Investor’s Purchase Price (as defined in the Securities
Purchase Agreement) on the Initial Closing Date (1) on the date of such Filing Failure, Effectiveness Failure, Maintenance Failure
or Current Public Information Failure, as applicable, and (2) on every thirty (30) day anniversary of (I) a Filing Failure until
such Filing Failure is cured; (II) an Effectiveness Failure until such Effectiveness Failure is cured; (III) a Maintenance Failure
until such Maintenance Failure is cured; and (IV) a Current Public Information Failure until the earlier of (i) the date such
Current Public Information Failure is cured and (ii) such time that such public information is no longer required pursuant to Rule 144
(in each case, pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty (30) days). The payments to which a holder of Registrable Securities shall
be entitled pursuant to this Section 2(e) are referred to herein as “Registration Delay Payments.” Following
the initial Registration Delay Payment for any particular event or failure (which shall be paid on the date of such event or failure,
as set forth above), without limiting the foregoing, if an event or failure giving rise to the Registration Delay Payments is cured prior
to any thirty (30) day anniversary of such event or failure, then such Registration Delay Payment shall be made on the third (3rd)
Business Day after such cure. In the event the Company fails to make Registration Delay Payments in a timely manner in accordance with
the foregoing, such Registration Delay Payments shall bear interest at the rate of two percent (2%) per month (prorated for partial months)
until paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Registration Delay Payments shall be owed to an Investor (other than with respect
to a Maintenance Failure resulting from a suspension or delisting of (or a failure to timely list) the shares of Common Stock on the Principal
Market) with respect to any period during which all of such Investor’s Registrable Securities may be sold by such Investor without
restriction under Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions) and without the need for current public information
required by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable).
5
(f) Offering.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, but subject to the payment of the Registration Delay Payments pursuant
to Section 2(e), in the event the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) or the SEC seeks to characterize any offering
pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement as constituting an offering of securities by, or on behalf
of, the Company, or in any other manner, such that the Staff or the SEC do not permit such Registration Statement to become
effective and used for resales in a manner that does not constitute such an offering and that permits the continuous resale at the market
by the Investors participating therein (or as otherwise may be acceptable to each Investor) without being named therein as an
“underwriter,” then the Company shall reduce the number of shares to be included in such Registration Statement by all Investors
until such time as the Staff and the SEC shall so permit such Registration Statement to become effective as aforesaid. In making
such reduction, the Company shall reduce the number of shares to be included by all Investors on a pro rata basis (based upon the number
of Registrable Securities otherwise required to be included for each Investor) unless the inclusion of shares by a particular Investor
or a particular set of Investors are resulting in the Staff or the SEC’s “by or on behalf of the Company” offering position,
in which event the shares held by such Investor or set of Investors shall be the only shares subject to reduction (and if by a set of
Investors on a pro rata basis by such Investors or on such other basis as would result in the exclusion of the least number of shares
by all such Investors); provided, that, with respect to such pro rata portion allocated to any Investor, such Investor may elect the allocation
of such pro rata portion among the Registrable Securities of such Investor. In addition, in the event that the Staff or the SEC requires
any Investor seeking to sell securities under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement to be specifically identified
as an “underwriter” in order to permit such Registration Statement to become effective, and such Investor does not consent
to being so named as an underwriter in such Registration Statement, then, in each such case, the Company shall reduce the total
number of Registrable Securities to be registered on behalf of such Investor, until such time as the Staff or the SEC does
not require such identification or until such Investor accepts such identification and the manner thereof. Any reduction pursuant to this
paragraph will first reduce all Registrable Securities other than those issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. In
the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this paragraph, an affected Investor shall have the right to
require, upon delivery of a written request to the Company signed by such Investor, the Company to file a registration statement within
twenty (20) days of such request (subject to any restrictions imposed by Rule 415 or required by the Staff or the SEC)
for resale by such Investor in a manner acceptable to such Investor, and the Company shall following such request cause to be and
keep effective such registration statement in the same manner as otherwise contemplated in this Agreement for registration statements
hereunder, in each case until such time as: (i) all Registrable Securities held by such Investor have been registered and sold
pursuant to an effective Registration Statement in a manner acceptable to such Investor or (ii) all Registrable Securities may
be resold by such Investor without restriction (including, without limitation, volume limitations) pursuant to Rule 144 (taking
account of any Staff position with respect to “affiliate” status) and without the need for current public information required
by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) or (iii) such Investor agrees to be named as an underwriter in
any such Registration Statement in a manner acceptable to such Investor as to all Registrable Securities held by such Investor and that
have not theretofore been included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement (it being understood that the special demand right
under this sentence may be exercised by an Investor multiple times and with respect to limited amounts of Registrable Securities in order
to permit the resale thereof by such Investor as contemplated above).
6
(g) Piggyback
Registrations. Without limiting any obligation of the Company hereunder or under the Securities Purchase Agreement, if there is not
an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities or the prospectus contained therein is not available for
use and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement or offering statement relating to an offering
for its own account or the account of others under the 1933 Act of any of its equity securities (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8
(each as promulgated under the 1933 Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with
any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s stock option or other employee
benefit plans), then the Company shall deliver to each Investor a written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15)
days after the date of the delivery of such notice, any such Investor shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration
statement or offering statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Investor requests to be registered; provided, however,
the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2(g) that are eligible for
resale pursuant to Rule 144 without restriction (including, without limitation, volume restrictions) and without the need for current
public information required by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) or that are the subject of a then-effective
Registration Statement.
(h) Allocation
of Registrable Securities. The initial number of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement and any increase in
the number of Registrable Securities included therein shall be allocated pro rata among the Investors based on the number of Registrable
Securities held by each Investor at the time such Registration Statement covering such initial number of Registrable Securities or increase
thereof is declared effective by the SEC. In the event that an Investor sells or otherwise transfers any of such Investor’s Registrable
Securities, each transferee or assignee (as the case may be) that becomes an Investor shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the then-remaining
number of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement for such transferor or assignee (as the case may be). Any shares
of Common Stock included in a Registration Statement and which remain allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Registrable Securities
covered by such Registration Statement shall be allocated to the remaining Investors, pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities
then held by such Investors which are covered by such Registration Statement.
7
(i) No
Inclusion of Other Securities. The Company shall in no event include any securities other than Registrable Securities on any Registration
Statement filed in accordance herewith without the prior written consent of the Required Holders. Until the Applicable Date (as defined
in the Securities Purchase Agreement), the Company shall not enter into any agreement providing any registration rights to any of its
security holders, except as otherwise permitted under the Securities Purchase Agreement.
3. Related
Obligations.
The Company shall use its
reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition
thereof, and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:
(a) The
Company shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to all the Registrable Securities (but in no
event later than the applicable Filing Deadline) and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective
as soon as practicable after such filing (but in no event later than the Effectiveness Deadline). Subject to Allowable Grace Periods,
the Company shall keep each Registration Statement effective (and the prospectus contained therein available for use) pursuant to Rule 415
for resales by the Investors on a delayed or continuous basis at then-prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices) at all times until
the date on which the Investors shall have sold all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (the “Registration
Period”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall ensure that, when filed and
at all times while effective, each Registration Statement (including, without limitation, all amendments and supplements thereto) and
the prospectus (including, without limitation, all amendments and supplements thereto) used in connection with such Registration Statement
(1) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or
necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not
misleading and (2) will disclose (whether directly or through incorporation by reference to other SEC filings to the extent permitted)
all material information regarding the Company and its securities. The Company shall submit to the SEC, within one (1) Business Day
after the later of the date that (i) the Company learns that no review of a particular Registration Statement will be made by the
Staff or that the Staff has no further comments on a particular Registration Statement (as the case may be) and (ii) the consent
of Legal Counsel is obtained pursuant to Section 3(c) (which consent shall be immediately sought), a request for acceleration
of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date not later than forty-eight (48) hours after the submission of
such request. The Company shall respond in writing to comments made by the SEC in respect of a Registration Statement as soon as practicable,
but in no event later than fifteen (15) days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the SEC that an amendment is required in
order for a Registration Statement to be declared effective; provided, however, that is the response requires updated financial statements
at the end of any calendar quarter or calendar year, then the fifteen (15) day period may be extended for an additional fifteen (15) calendar
days in order for the Company to update any required financial statement information.
8
(b) Subject
to Section 3(r) of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including, without limitation,
post-effective amendments) and supplements to each Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with each such Registration
Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary to keep each
such Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period for such Registration Statement, and, during such period,
comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company required to be
covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance
with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement; provided, however,
by 8:30 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately following each Effective Date, the Company shall file with the SEC in
accordance with Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to the applicable
Registration Statement (whether or not such a prospectus is technically required by such rule). In the case of amendments and supplements
to any Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to this
Section 3(b)) by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 8-K, Form 10-Q or Form 10-K or any analogous report
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), the Company shall, if permitted under the applicable
rules and regulations of the SEC, have incorporated such report by reference into such Registration Statement, if applicable, or
shall file such amendments or supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the 1934 Act report is filed which created the requirement
for the Company to amend or supplement such Registration Statement.
(c) The
Company shall (A) permit Legal Counsel and legal counsel for each other Investor to review and comment upon (i) each Registration
Statement at least five (5) Business Days prior to its filing with the SEC and (ii) all amendments and supplements to each Registration
Statement (including, without limitation, the prospectus contained therein) (except for Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports
on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and any similar or successor reports) within a reasonable number of days prior to
their filing with the SEC, and (B) not file any Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto in a form to which Legal
Counsel or any legal counsel for any other Investor reasonably objects. The Company shall not submit a request for acceleration of the
effectiveness of a Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto or to any prospectus contained therein without the prior
consent of Legal Counsel, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall promptly furnish to Legal Counsel and legal
counsel for each other Investor, without charge, (i) copies of any correspondence from the SEC or the Staff to the Company or its
representatives relating to each Registration Statement, provided that such correspondence shall not contain any material, non-public
information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), (ii) after the same
is prepared and filed with the SEC, one (1) copy of each Registration Statement and any amendment(s) and supplement(s) thereto,
including, without limitation, financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by an
Investor, and all exhibits and (iii) upon the effectiveness of each Registration Statement, one (1) copy of the prospectus included
in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto. The Company shall reasonably cooperate with Legal Counsel and
legal counsel for each other Investor in performing the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Section 3.
9
(d) The
Company shall promptly furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement, without charge,
(i) after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, at least one (1) copy of each Registration Statement and any amendment(s) and
supplement(s) thereto, including, without limitation, financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference,
if requested by an Investor, all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) upon the effectiveness of each Registration Statement,
ten (10) copies of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such
other number of copies as such Investor may reasonably request from time to time) and (iii) such other documents, including, without
limitation, copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as such Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate
the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor.
(e) The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) register and qualify, unless an exemption from registration and qualification
applies, the resale by Investors of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue
sky” laws of all applicable jurisdictions in the United States, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments
(including, without limitation, post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary
to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain
such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably
necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, the Company shall not
be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not
otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(e), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction,
or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify Legal Counsel, legal
counsel for each other Investor and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with
respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue
sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding
for such purpose.
(f) The
Company shall notify Legal Counsel, legal counsel for each other Investor and each Investor in writing of the happening of any event,
as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration Statement,
as then in effect, may include an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that
in no event shall such notice contain any material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), and, subject
to Section 3(r), promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement and such prospectus contained therein
to correct such untrue statement or omission and deliver ten (10) copies of such supplement or amendment to Legal Counsel, legal
counsel for each other Investor and each Investor (or such other number of copies as Legal Counsel, legal counsel for each other Investor
or such Investor may reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly notify Legal Counsel, legal counsel for each other Investor
and each Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, when
a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to
Legal Counsel, legal counsel for each other Investor and each Investor by e-mail on the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight
mail), and when the Company receives written notice from the SEC that a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment will be
reviewed by the SEC, (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus
or related information, (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement
would be appropriate; and (iv) of the receipt of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority for
any additional information relating to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto or any related prospectus. The
Company shall respond as promptly as practicable to any comments received from the SEC with respect to each Registration Statement or
any amendment thereto (it being understood and agreed that the Company’s response to any such comments shall be delivered to the
SEC no later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the receipt thereof).
10
(g) The
Company shall (i) use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness
of each Registration Statement or the use of any prospectus contained therein, or the suspension of the qualification, or the loss of
an exemption from qualification, of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension
is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and (ii) notify Legal Counsel, legal
counsel for each other Investor and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof
or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.
(h) If
any Investor may be required under applicable securities law to be described in any Registration Statement as an underwriter and such
Investor consents to so being named an underwriter, at the request of any Investor, the Company shall furnish to such Investor, on the
date of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as an Investor may reasonably
request (i) a letter, dated such date, from the Company’s independent certified public accountants in form and substance as
is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the
Investors, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Company for purposes of such Registration Statement,
in form, scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Investors.
(i) If
any Investor may be required under applicable securities law to be described in any Registration Statement as an underwriter and such
Investor consents to so being named an underwriter, upon the written request of such Investor, the Company shall make available for inspection
by (i) such Investor, (ii) legal counsel for such Investor and (iii) one (1) firm of accountants or other agents retained
by such Investor (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate
documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each
Inspector, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably
request; provided, however, each Inspector shall agree in writing to hold in strict confidence and not to make any disclosure (except
to such Investor) or use of any Record or other information which the Company’s board of directors determines in good faith to be
confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (1) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to
avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the 1933 Act, (2) the release
of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction,
or (3) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement). Such Investor agrees that it shall, upon
learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means,
give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or
to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential. Nothing herein (or in any other confidentiality agreement between the
Company and such Investor, if any) shall be deemed to limit any Investor’s ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner which
is otherwise consistent with applicable laws and regulations.
11
(j) The
Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning an Investor provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure
of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary
to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required to be disclosed in such Registration
Statement pursuant to the 1933 Act, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final, non-appealable
order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to
the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. The Company agrees that it shall,
upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning an Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent
jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to such Investor and allow such Investor, at such Investor’s expense,
to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.
(k) Without
limiting any obligation of the Company under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts either
to (i) cause all of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on
which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities
is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, (ii) secure designation and quotation of all of the Registrable Securities
covered by each Registration Statement on an Eligible Market (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), or (iii) if, despite
the Company’s reasonable best efforts to satisfy the preceding clauses (i) or (ii) the Company is unsuccessful in
satisfying the preceding clauses (i) or (ii), without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to use its reasonable best efforts
to arrange for at least two market makers to register with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) as
such with respect to such Registrable Securities. In addition, the Company shall cooperate with each Investor and any broker or dealer
through which any such Investor proposes to sell its Registrable Securities in effecting a filing with FINRA pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110
as requested by such Investor. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section 3(k).
(l) The
Company shall cooperate with the Investors who hold Registrable Securities being offered and, to the extent applicable, facilitate the
timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered
pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts (as the case may be) as the Investors
may reasonably request from time to time and registered in such names as the Investors may request.
12
(m) If
requested by an Investor, the Company shall as soon as practicable after receipt of notice from such Investor and subject to Section 3(r) hereof,
(i) incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as an Investor reasonably requests to be
included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect
to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering
of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement
or make amendments to any Registration Statement or prospectus contained therein if reasonably requested by an Investor holding any Registrable
Securities.
(n) The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be registered
with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable
Securities.
(o) The
Company shall make generally available to its security holders as soon as practical, but not later than ninety (90) days after the close
of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying with, and in the manner provided by, the provisions of Rule 158
under the 1933 Act) covering a twelve-month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company’s fiscal quarter next following
the applicable Effective Date of each Registration Statement.
(p) The
Company shall otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection
with any registration hereunder.
(q) Within
one (1) Business Day after a Registration Statement which covers Registrable Securities is declared effective by the SEC, the Company
shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies
to the Investors whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement) confirmation that such Registration Statement
has been declared effective by the SEC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
13
(r) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein (but subject to the last sentence of this Section 3(r)), at any time after the Effective Date of
a particular Registration Statement, the Company may delay the disclosure of material, non-public information concerning the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the board of directors of the Company,
in the best interest of the Company and, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, otherwise required (a “Grace Period”),
provided that the Company shall promptly notify the Investors in writing of the (i) existence of material, non-public information
giving rise to a Grace Period (provided that in each such notice the Company shall not disclose the content of such material, non-public
information to any of the Investors) and the date on which such Grace Period will begin and (ii) date on which such Grace Period
ends, provided further that (I) no Grace Period shall exceed ten (10) consecutive days and during any three hundred sixty five
(365) day period all such Grace Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of thirty (30) days, (II) the first day of any Grace Period
must be at least five (5) Trading Days after the last day of any prior Grace Period and (III) no Grace Period may exist
during the sixty (60) Trading Day period immediately following the Effective Date of such Registration Statement (provided that such sixty
(60) Trading Day period shall be extended by the number of Trading Days during such period and any extension thereof contemplated by this
proviso during which such Registration Statement is not effective or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use) (each,
an “Allowable Grace Period”). For purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period above, such Grace Period shall
begin on and include the date the Investors receive the notice referred to in clause (i) above and shall end on and include the later
of the date the Investors receive the notice referred to in clause (ii) above and the date referred to in such notice. The provisions
of Section 3(g) hereof shall not be applicable during the period of any Allowable Grace Period. Upon expiration of each Grace
Period, the Company shall again be bound by the first sentence of Section 3(f) with respect to the information giving rise thereto
unless such material, non-public information is no longer applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3(r),
the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with
the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which such Investor
has entered into a contract for sale, and delivered a copy of the prospectus included as part of the particular Registration Statement
to the extent applicable, prior to such Investor’s receipt of the notice of a Grace Period and for which the Investor has not yet
settled.
(s) The
Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by each Investors of its Registrable
Securities pursuant to each Registration Statement.
(t) Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof shall identify any Investor as an underwriter in any public disclosure or filing with
the SEC, the Principal Market or any Eligible Market and any Buyer being deemed an underwriter by the SEC shall not relieve the Company
of any obligations it has under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement); provided,
however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Company from including the disclosure found in the “Plan of Distribution”
section attached hereto as Exhibit B in the Registration Statement.
(u) Neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on or after
the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of impairing the rights
granted to the Buyers in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.
4. Obligations
of the Investors.
(a) At
least three (3) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of each Registration Statement, the Company shall notify
each Investor in writing of the information the Company requires from each such Investor with respect to such Registration Statement.
It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect
to the Registrable Securities of a particular Investor that such Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself,
the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it, as shall be reasonably
required to effect and maintain the effectiveness of the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents
in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.
14
(b) Each
Investor, by such Investor’s acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested
by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of each Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified
the Company in writing of such Investor’s election to exclude all of such Investor’s Registrable Securities from such Registration
Statement.
(c) Each
Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(g) or
the first sentence of Section 3(f), such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to
any Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until such Investor’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented
or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(g) or the first sentence of Section 3(f) or receipt of notice that
no supplement or amendment is required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(c), the Company shall cause its
transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of the Securities
Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which such Investor has entered into a contract
for sale prior to the Investor’s receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(g) or
the first sentence of Section 3(f) and for which such Investor has not yet settled.
5. Expenses
of Registration.
All reasonable expenses, other
than underwriting discounts and commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2
and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, FINRA filing fees
(if any) and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be paid by the Company. The Company shall reimburse Legal Counsel
for its fees and disbursements in connection with registration, filing or qualification pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement
which amount shall be limited to $10,000 for each such registration, filing or qualification.
15
6. Indemnification.
(a) To
the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Investor and each of
its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, agents, advisors, representatives (and any other Persons with a functionally
equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title) and each Person, if any, who
controls such Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act and each of the directors, officers, shareholders, members,
partners, employees, agents, advisors, representatives (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding
such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling Persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”),
against any losses, obligations, claims, damages, liabilities, contingencies, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs (including,
without limitation, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of defense and investigation), amounts paid in settlement
or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”) incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action,
claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative
or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an Indemnified Person is or may be a party
thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings,
whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification
of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered
(“Blue Sky Filing”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final
prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission
or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under
which the statements therein were made, not misleading or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the 1933 Act,
the 1934 Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating
to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or (iv) any violation of this Agreement (the
matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, “Violations”). Subject to Section 6(c),
the Company shall reimburse the Indemnified Persons, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees
or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim
by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished
in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person for such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation
of such Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by the
Company pursuant to Section 3(d); and (ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is
effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity
shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive
the transfer of any of the Registrable Securities by any of the Investors pursuant to Section 9.
(b) In
connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is participating, such Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify,
hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors,
each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the
1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them
may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based
upon any Violation, in each case, to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity
with written information furnished to the Company by such Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and,
subject to Section 6(c) and the below provisos in this Section 6(b), such Investor will reimburse an Indemnified Party
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim;
provided, however, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained
in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written
consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided further that such Investor shall be liable
under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor
as a result of the applicable sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full
force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of any
of the Registrable Securities by any of the Investors pursuant to Section 9.
16
(c) Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement
of any action or proceeding (including, without limitation, any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified
Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under
this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall
have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly
noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person
or the Indemnified Party (as the case may be); provided, however, an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) shall
have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the indemnifying party if: (i) the
indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed promptly to
assume the defense of such Claim and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the
case may be) in any such Claim; or (iii) the named parties to any such Claim (including, without limitation, any impleaded parties)
include both such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) and the indemnifying party, and such Indemnified Person
or such Indemnified Party (as the case may be) shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the
same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Person or such Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party (in which case, if such Indemnified
Person or such Indemnified Party (as the case may be) notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel
at the expense of the indemnifying party, then the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such
counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party, provided further that in the case of clause (iii) above the indemnifying
party shall not be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one (1) separate legal counsel for such Indemnified
Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be)). The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person (as the case may be) shall reasonably cooperate
with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Claim by the indemnifying party and shall
furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person (as the case may
be) which relates to such action or Claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person (as the case
may be) reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying
party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent; provided, however,
the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior
written consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person (as the case may be), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person (as the case may be) of a release from all liability in respect to such Claim or litigation, and
such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnified Party. Following indemnification as provided
for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person (as the case may
be) with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure
to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve
such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) under this Section 6,
except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
17
(d) The
indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation
or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.
(e) The
indemnity and contribution agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject
to pursuant to the law.
7. Contribution.
To
the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum
contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by
law; provided, however: (i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification
under the fault standards set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement, (ii) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities
which Person is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) in connection with
such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation; and (iii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the amount of net
proceeds received by such seller from the applicable sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Investor shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess
of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Investor from the applicable sale of the Registrable Securities subject
to the Claim exceeds the amount of any damages that such Investor has otherwise been required to pay, or would otherwise be required to
pay under Section 6(b), by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
18
8. Reports
Under the 1934 Act.
With a view to making available
to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144, the Company agrees to:
(a) make
and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
(b) file
with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so long as
the Company remains subject to such requirements (it being understood and agreed that nothing herein shall limit any obligations of the
Company under the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions
of Rule 144; and
(c) furnish
to each Investor so long as such Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company,
if true, that it has complied with the reporting, submission and posting requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act,
(ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company
with the SEC if such reports are not publicly available via EDGAR, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested
to permit the Investors to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.
9. Assignment
of Registration Rights.
All or any portion of the
rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by each Investor to any transferee or assignee (as the case may be) of all
or any portion of such Investor’s Registrable Securities, Preferred Shares or Warrants if: (i) such Investor agrees in writing
with such transferee or assignee (as the case may be) to assign all or any portion of such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished
to the Company within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment (as the case may be); (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable
time after such transfer or assignment (as the case may be), furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee
or assignee (as the case may be), and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or
assigned (as the case may be); (iii) immediately following such transfer or assignment (as the case may be) the further disposition
of such securities by such transferee or assignee (as the case may be) is restricted under the 1933 Act or applicable state securities
laws if so required; (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this
sentence such transferee or assignee (as the case may be) agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained
herein; (v) such transfer or assignment (as the case may be) shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements
of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Certificate of Designations and the Warrants (as the case may be); and (vi) such transfer
or assignment (as the case may be) shall have been conducted in accordance with all applicable federal and state securities laws.
19
10. Amendment
of Registration Rights.
Provisions
of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively
or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the Required Holders; provided that any such amendment or waiver that
complies with the foregoing, but that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the rights and obligations of any Investor
relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Investors shall require the prior written consent of such adversely affected
Investor. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company,
provided that no such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it (1) applies to less than all of the holders of Registrable
Securities or (2) imposes any obligation or liability on any Investor without such Investor’s prior written consent (which
may be granted or withheld in such Investor’s sole discretion). No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and
signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent
to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration (other than the reimbursement of legal fees)
also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.
11. Miscellaneous.
(a) Solely
for purposes of this Agreement, a Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns, or is deemed to
own, of record such Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons
with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from
such record owner of such Registrable Securities.
(b) Any
notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing
and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by electronic
mail (provided that such sent email is kept on file (whether electronically or otherwise) by the sending party and the sending party does
not receive an automatically generated message from the recipient’s email server that such e-mail could not be delivered to such
recipient); or (iii) one (1) Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier service with next day delivery specified,
in each case, properly addressed to the party to receive the same. The mailing addresses and e-mail addresses for such communications
shall be:

(c) Failure
of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy,
shall not operate as a waiver thereof. The Company and each Investor acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the
event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.
It is accordingly agreed that each party hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions
of this Agreement by any other party hereto and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (without the necessity of showing
economic loss and without any bond or other security being required), this being in addition to any other remedy to which any party may
be entitled by law or equity.
21
(d) All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws
of the State of New York, without giving effect to any provision of law 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. 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, and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of
any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding
is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action
or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such
service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit
in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE
TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF
THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
(e) If
any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction,
the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that
it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining
provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions
of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question
does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the
benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited,
invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited,
invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
(f) This
Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein
and therein constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto and thereto solely with respect to the subject matter hereof and
thereof. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein and therein.
This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced
herein and therein supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the parties hereto solely with respect to the subject matter
hereof and thereof; provided, however, nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall (or shall be deemed
to) (i) have any effect on any agreements any Investor has entered into with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the
date hereof with respect to any prior investment made by such Investor in the Company, (ii) waive, alter, modify or amend in any
respect any obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any rights of or benefits to any Investor or any other Person in
any agreement entered into prior to the date hereof between or among the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries and any Investor and all
such agreements shall continue in full force and effect or (iii) limit any obligations of the Company under any of the other Transaction
Documents.
22
(g) Subject
to compliance with Section 9 (if applicable), this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the permitted successors
and assigns of each of the parties hereto. This Agreement is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any
Person, other than the parties hereto, their respective permitted successors and assigns and the Persons referred to in Sections 6
and 7 hereof.
(h) The
headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. Unless the
context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural
forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed
broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof”
and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.
(i) This
Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall be
considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the
other party. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an email which contains a portable document
format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page, such signature page 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 signature page were an original thereof.
(j) Each
party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such
other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
(k) The
language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent and no rules of
strict construction will be applied against any party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10, terms used
in this Agreement but defined in the other Transaction Documents shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms on the Initial Closing
Date in such other Transaction Documents unless otherwise consented to in writing by each Investor.
(l) All
consents and other determinations required to be made by the Investors pursuant to this Agreement shall be made, unless otherwise specified
in this Agreement, by the Required Holders, determined as if all of the outstanding Preferred Shares then held by the Investors have been
converted for Registrable Securities without regard to any limitations on redemption, amortization and/or conversion of the Preferred
Shares and the outstanding Warrants then held by Investors have been exercised for Registrable Securities without regard to any limitations
on exercise of the Warrants.
23
(m) This
Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the
benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.
(n) The
obligations of each Investor under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of
any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor under
this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by
any Investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as, and the Company acknowledges that the Investors
do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that
the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents or any matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Investors are not acting in concert or as a group,
and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or
any of the other the Transaction Documents. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including,
without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary
for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement with respect
to the obligations of the Company contained herein was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of any Investor,
and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Investor. It is expressly
understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and
an Investor, solely, and not between the Company and the Investors collectively and not between and among Investors.

Exhibit 10.3
COMMON
STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of March 30, 2026 (this “Agreement”),
by and among (the “Investor”), and SMARTKEM, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).
RECiTALS
WHEREAS,
the parties desire that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth herein, the Company may issue and sell
to the Investor, from time to time as provided herein, and the Investor shall purchase from the Company, up to the lesser of (a) $500,000,000
and (b) 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”),
as of the date of this Agreement (to the extent applicable under Section 2.4 hereof), unless (i) Stockholder Approval is obtained
or (ii) the price of applicable sales of Common Stock to the Investor under this Agreement equals or exceeds the lower of (A) the
official Closing Sale Price on the Nasdaq Capital Market or any nationally recognized successor thereto (the “NCM”)
immediately preceding the delivery of the applicable VWAP Purchase notice and (B) the arithmetic average of the Closing Sale Prices
of the Common Stock on the NCM for the five business days immediately preceding the delivery of such VWAP Purchase notice (in each case
plus an incremental amount to take into account the Commitment Shares), such that the sales of such Common Stock to the Investor would
not count toward the 19.99% because they are “at market” under applicable NCM rules;
WHEREAS,
in consideration for the Investor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company shall cause its Transfer Agent to issue
to the Investor the Commitment Shares in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS,
the parties hereto are concurrently entering into a Registration Rights Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto
(the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company shall provide Investor with certain registration
rights related to the shares issued under this Agreement, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein.
NOW,
THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
Article I
PURCHASE AND SALE OF COMMON STOCK
Section 1.1. Purchase
and Sale of Stock. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, during the Investment Period, the Company,
in its sole discretion, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to issue and sell to the Investor, and the Investor shall purchase
from the Company, up to the lesser of (a) $500,000,000 and (b) 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock
as of the date of this Agreement, including the Commitment Shares, unless (i) Stockholder Approval is obtained to issue more than
such 19.99% or (ii) the price of applicable sales of Common Stock to the Investor under this Agreement equals or exceeds the lower
of (A) the official Closing Sale Price on the NCM immediately preceding the delivery of the applicable VWAP Purchase notice to the
Investor and (B) the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock on the NCM for the five business days immediately preceding
the delivery of such VWAP Purchase notice (in each case, plus an incremental amount to take into account the Commitment Shares), such
that the sales of such Common Stock to the Investor would not count toward the 19.99% because they are “at market” under
applicable NCM rules (the “Total Purchase Commitment”), to the extent applicable under Section 2.4,
by the delivery to the Investor of VWAP Purchase Notices as provided in Article II.
1
Section 1.2. Closing

issuance by the Company of the Commitment Shares to the Investor or its designees as provided in Section 6.1 and 9.1(ii), (b) the
delivery of counterpart signature pages of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement executed by each of the parties
hereto and thereto, and (c) the delivery of all other documents, instruments and writings required to be delivered at the Closing,

Floor, New York, NY 10017, at 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date, or such other time and place as the parties hereto
shall agree. In consideration of, and in express reliance upon, the representations, warranties and covenants contained in, and upon

shall not purchase or acquire any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent that after giving effect thereto,
the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would be issued pursuant to this Agreement would exceed 4,220,772 (representing 19.99%
of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement), which number of shares shall
be (i) 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 and (ii) increased to such number of shares contemplated in any Stockholder Approval but not to exceed $500,000,000
in the aggregate (such maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable by the Company under this Agreement, the “Aggregate
Limit”).
(b) General.
The Company shall not issue or sell any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement if such issuance or sale would reasonably be
expected to result in (A) a violation of the Securities Act or (B) a breach of the rules of the Trading Market. The provisions

with all other shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Investor and its Affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder), would result in the beneficial ownership by the Investor of more
than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). Upon the
written or oral request of the Investor, the Company shall promptly (but not later than the next business day on which the Transfer Agent
is open for business) confirm orally or in writing to the Investor the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the most recent
date for which the Transfer Agent has such information. The Investor and the Company shall each cooperate in good faith in the determinations
required under this Section 2.5 and the application of this Section 2.5. The Investor’s written certification to the
Company of the applicability of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the resulting effect thereof hereunder at any time, shall be
conclusive with respect to the applicability thereof and such result absent manifest error. The provisions of this Section 2.5 shall
be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2.5 to the extent necessary
to properly give effect to the limitations contained in this Section 2.5.

contained in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document to which the Company is a party or the Investor’s right to rely
on any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transaction

purchasing, in an open market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock necessary to make delivery by the Investor in satisfaction
of a sale by the Investor of Shares that the Investor anticipated receiving from the Company in connection with the settlement of a VWAP
Purchase if the Company or the Transfer Agent shall have failed for any reason to electronically transfer all of the Shares subject to
such VWAP Purchase to the Investor by crediting the Investor’s or its designated Broker-Dealer’s account at DTC through its

corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification

or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority or qualification.
Section 4.2. Authorization,
Enforcement. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has the requisite corporate or other power and authority to enter into

described herein or therein. The Company has made available via EDGAR true and correct copies of the Company’s Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation as in effect on the Commencement Date (the “Charter”), and the Company’s Amended

Documents for the twelve months preceding the date of this Agreement required to be filed by it (the “Filed Commission Documents”).
The Company has delivered or made available to the Investor via EDGAR or otherwise true and complete copies of the Filed Commission Documents
prior to the Closing Date. As of its filing date, each Commission Document complied in all material respects with the requirements of
the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and other federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations applicable

the Commission, on each VWAP Purchase Date, shall comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act (including,
without limitation, Rule 415 under the Securities Act) and shall 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 not misleading, except that
this representation and warranty shall not apply to statements in or omissions from such Registration Statement made in reliance upon
and in conformity with information relating to the Investor furnished to the Company in writing by or on behalf of the Investor expressly
for use therein. The Prospectus and each Prospectus Supplement required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement or the Registration Rights
Agreement after the Closing Date, when taken together, on its date, on each VWAP Purchase Date, shall comply in all material respects
with the requirements of the Securities Act (including, without limitation, Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act) and shall
not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that this representation
and warranty shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement made in reliance upon and
in conformity with information relating to the Investor furnished to the Company in writing by or on behalf of the Investor expressly

or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, or the Prospectus included therein or any Prospectus Supplement thereto required

such document is filed with or furnished to the Commission and, if applicable, when such document becomes effective, as the case may
be, shall comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and other federal,
state and local laws, rules and regulations applicable to it. There are no outstanding or unresolved comments or undertakings in
such comment letters received by the Company from the Commission. The Commission has not issued any stop order or other order suspending
the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. To the Company’s
Knowledge, the Commission has not commenced any enforcement proceedings against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
10
(b) The
financial statements and schedules of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries to be filed as part of or incorporated by reference
in the Registration Statement, or the Prospectus included therein or any Prospectus Supplement thereto, present fairly in all material
respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates
and for the periods indicated, comply as to form with the applicable accounting requirements of Regulation S-X, and have been prepared
in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent
basis throughout the periods involved (except as otherwise noted therein and, with respect to interim periods, the absence of footnotes).
The interactive data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language included or incorporated by reference in the Commission Documents, the
Registration Statement fairly presents the information called for in all material respects and have been prepared in accordance with
the Commission’s rules and guidelines applicable thereto. The statistical and market-related data included or incorporated
by reference in the Commission Documents or any Registration Statement are based on or derived from sources that the Company believes,
after reasonable inquiry, to be reliable and accurate and, to the extent required, the Company has obtained the written consent to the
use of such data from such source, except where the failure to so obtain such consent would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.
(c) The
Company and the Subsidiaries have established and maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15
and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act). Except as disclosed in Commission Documents, such disclosure controls and procedures are designed
to ensure that material information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries is made known to the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer and its Chief Financial Officer by others within those entities, and such disclosure controls and procedures are effective to
perform the functions for which they were established. The Company and the Subsidiaries have established and maintain internal control
over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act). Except as disclosed in Commission
Documents, such internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance that (A) transactions are
executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (B) transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain accountability for assets; (C) access to assets
is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (D) the recorded accountability for assets
is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences; and (E) the
interactive data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language in the Commission Documents fairly presents the information called for in
all material respects and are prepared in accordance with the Commission’s rules and guidelines applicable thereto. The Company’s
auditors and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company have been advised of: (i) any significant deficiencies
and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls which could adversely affect the Company’s ability to record,
process, summarize, and report financial data; and (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees
who have a role in the Company’s internal controls. Since the date of the most recent evaluation of such disclosure controls and
procedures, except as disclosed in Commission Documents, there have been (A) no material weakness in the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting (whether or not remediated) and (B) no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors
that could significantly affect internal controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies.
(d) The
Company is in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and the rules and regulations

Agreements is in full force and effect, and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms
against the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries and, to the Knowledge of the Company, each other contracting party thereto, except
as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship,

trade secrets or other intellectual property rights have expired or terminated, or, by the terms and conditions thereof, will expire
or terminate within two years from the date of this Agreement, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. The Company has no Knowledge of any infringement by the Company or the Subsidiaries of any material trademark, trade name rights,

similar rights of others, or of any such development of similar or identical trade secrets or technical information by others, and there
is no claim, action or proceeding being made or brought against, or to the Company’s Knowledge, being threatened against, the Company
or the Subsidiaries regarding trademark, trade name, patents, patent rights, invention, copyright, license, service names, service marks,
service mark registrations, trade secret or other infringement, which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

as will be set forth in the Prospectus included in any Registration Statement (and any post-effective amendment thereto) and any Prospectus

a commitment from the Company to use 25% of the gross proceeds from any sale of Shares towards the redemption of the Company’s
Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the Company’s optional redemption provisions thereof, including any stated premiums thereon.
Section 4.21. Investment
Company Act Status. The Company is not required to be registered as, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Shares
will not be required to be registered as, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,

Section 4.22. Benefit
Plans; Labor Matters. Each benefit and compensation plan, agreement, policy and arrangement that is maintained, administered
or contributed to by the Company for current or former employees or directors of, or independent contractors with respect to, the Company
has been maintained in material compliance with its terms and the requirements of any applicable statutes, orders, rules and regulations,
and the Company has complied in all material respects with all applicable statutes, orders, rules and regulations in regard to such
plans, agreements, policies and arrangements. Each stock option granted under any equity incentive plan of the Company (each, a “Stock
Plan”) was granted with a per share exercise price no less than the market price per common share on the grant date of
such option in accordance with the rules of the Trading Market, and no such grant involved any “back-dating,” “forward-dating”
or similar practice with respect to the effective date of such grant; each such option (i) was granted in compliance in all material
respects with Applicable Laws and with the applicable Stock Plan(s), (ii) was duly approved by the Company’s Board of Directors,
and (iii) has been properly accounted for in the Company’s financial statements and disclosed, to the extent required, in
the Company’s filings or submissions with the Commission, and the Trading Market. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in
violation of or has received written notice of any violation with respect to any federal or state law, regulation or rule relating
to discrimination in the hiring, termination, promotion, employment or pay of employees, nor any applicable federal or state wages and
hours law, nor any state law, regulation or rule precluding the denial of credit due to the neighborhood in which a property is
situated, the violation of any of which, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
There are no existing or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened labor disputes with the employees of the Company or any of the
Subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
15
Section 4.23. Taxes.
Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries has filed on a timely basis (including in accordance with any applicable extensions) all
material necessary federal, state, local and foreign income and franchise tax returns required to be filed through the date hereof or
have properly requested extensions thereof, and have paid all taxes shown as due thereon, and if due and payable, any related or similar
assessment, fine or penalty levied against the Company or of the Subsidiaries. Except as disclosed in the Commission Documents, no material
tax deficiency has been asserted against any such entity, and the Company has no Knowledge of any tax deficiency that is likely to be

be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All material tax liabilities are adequately provided for on the respective books of the
Company and the Subsidiaries.
Section 4.24. Insurance.

and the Subsidiaries against theft, damage, destruction, environmental liabilities, acts of vandalism, terrorism, earthquakes, flood
and all other risks customarily insured against, all of which insurance is in full force and effect. Neither the Company nor any such
Subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason
to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage
from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.
Section 4.25. Dilutive
Effect. The Company is aware and acknowledges that issuance of the Securities could cause dilution to existing stockholders and
could significantly increase the outstanding number of shares of Common Stock. The Company further acknowledges that its obligation to
issue the Commitment Shares and to issue the Shares pursuant to the terms of a VWAP Purchase in accordance with this Agreement is, in
each case, unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders
of the Company.
16
Section 4.26. Manipulation
of Price. The Company has not, and to its Knowledge no Person acting on its behalf has, (i) taken, directly or indirectly,

of the Common Stock pursuant to the Exchange Act nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission is currently contemplating
terminating such registration. Except as disclosed in the Filed Commission Documents, the Company has not, in the twelve (12) months
preceding the date hereof, received any written notice from any Person to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing
or maintenance requirements of the Trading Market. Except as disclosed in the Commission Documents, the Company is in compliance with

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 Charter or the laws of the State of Delaware that is or could become applicable to
the Investor as a result of the Investor and the Company fulfilling their respective obligations or exercising their respective rights
under the Transaction Documents (as applicable), including, without limitation, as a result of the Company’s issuance of the Securities
and the Investor’s ownership of the Securities.

Other Similar Agreement. Except as disclosed in the Commission Documents, other than the Transaction Documents to which it is

by the Investor or any of its representatives or agents in connection therewith is merely incidental to the Investor’s acquisition

Adverse Effect, and (b) the Company shall comply with all applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including
Regulation M thereunder, applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws, and applicable listing rules of the Trading
Market or Eligible Market, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, prohibit or otherwise interfere with the ability of

of Securities under the Registration Statement in any material respect. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Company, or any of
the Subsidiaries, nor to the Knowledge of the Company, any of their respective directors, officers, agents, employees or any other Persons
acting on their behalf shall, in connection with the operation of the respective businesses of the Company and the Subsidiaries, (1) use

Limit and the dates and VWAP Purchase Share Amount for each VWAP Purchase.
(ii) The
Investor shall have the right, from time to time as the Investor may reasonably deem appropriate, and upon reasonable advance notice
to the Company, to perform reasonable due diligence on the Company during normal business hours; provided, however, that
after the Closing Date, the Investor’s continued due diligence of the Company shall not be a condition precedent to, or otherwise
impair, delay or modify in any respect, the Company’s right to deliver to the Investor any VWAP Purchase Notice, or the Investor’s
obligation to purchase the Shares subject thereto, pursuant to this Agreement. The Company and its officers and employees shall provide
information on a reasonably timely basis and otherwise reasonably cooperate with the Investor in connection with any reasonable request
by the Investor related to the Investor’s due diligence of the Company.
Section 5.6. No
Frustration; Prohibition of Certain Issuances Before Settlement of Purchases; No Similar Transactions.
(i) No
Frustration. The Company shall not enter into, announce or recommend to the Company’s stockholders any agreement, plan,
arrangement or transaction in or of which the terms thereof would restrict, materially delay, conflict with or impair the ability or
right of the Company to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, including, without limitation,
the obligation of the Company to deliver the Shares to the Investor in respect of a VWAP Purchase as DWAC Shares not later than 10:00
a.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately following the applicable VWAP Purchase Date for such VWAP Purchase in accordance
with Section 2.2 of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5.6(i) shall in any way limit
the Company’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.2 (subject in all cases to Section 7.3).
(ii) No
Dilutive Issuances During Reference Periods. Neither the Company nor or any Subsidiary shall issue, sell or grant any right,
option or warrant to purchase, or issue, sell or grant any right to reprice (or reset the purchase price therefor), or otherwise dispose
of for cash (or enter into any agreement, plan or arrangement contemplating any of the foregoing, or seek to utilize any existing agreement,
plan or arrangement to effect any of the foregoing), or announce any offer, issuance, sale or grant of any option or warrant to purchase
or other disposition for cash (or any agreement, plan or arrangement therefor), at any time during the following periods: with respect
to each VWAP Purchase under this Agreement for which the Company has delivered to the Investor a VWAP Purchase Notice, the period beginning
on the third (3rd) Trading Day immediately preceding the applicable VWAP Purchase Date for such VWAP Purchase and ending on
the third (3rd) Trading Day next following the Trading Day on which the Investor has delivered to the Company the applicable
total purchase price for all of the Shares to be purchased by the Investor in such VWAP Purchase, pursuant to Section 2.2 (a “Reference
Period”), any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, at an effective price per share of Common Stock less than the applicable
VWAP Purchase Price (as applicable) per Share (such price, the “Reference Price”) to be sold to the Investor
in the applicable VWAP Purchase to which such Reference Period relates (each such issuance, a “Dilutive Issuance”),
other than an Exempt Issuance (it being understood and agreed that if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued
shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices
or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive
shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share of Common Stock that is less than the applicable Reference Price, such issuance
shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the applicable Reference Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance at such effective
price) and the applicable VWAP Purchase Price shall be reduced to equal the Reference Price. If the Company enters into a Variable Rate
Transaction, the Company shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at the lowest possible conversion or
exercise price at which such securities may be converted or exercised. The Investor shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief against
the Company and the Subsidiaries to preclude any such Dilutive Issuance that does not constitute an Exempt Issuance, which remedy shall
be in addition to any right to collect damages, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security
being required.
22
(iii) Clearing
Date. If the lowest trade price for the Common Stock on the Clearing Date is lower than that at the time any Shares pursuant
to a VWAP Purchase are actually issued, then the price per share at which such Shares are issued shall be adjusted such that the price
per share at which such Shares are issued shall be calculated from the closing trade price on the Clearing Date, and the Company shall
issue additional Shares to Investor to reflect such adjusted price per Share. For purposes of this Agreement, “Clearing Date”
shall be on the date on which any Shares pursuant to a VWAP Purchase are deposited into Investor’s brokerage account and Investor’s
broker has confirmed with Investor that the Investor may execute trades of such Shares.
(iv) No
Other Similar Transactions. From and after the date of this Agreement until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7
(the “Similar Transaction Restricted Period”), none of the Company or any Subsidiary shall issue, sell or grant
any, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or enter into any agreement, plan or arrangement contemplating any of the foregoing, or seek to
utilize any existing agreement, plan or arrangement to effect any of the foregoing), or announce any offer, issuance, sale or grant or
other disposition or issuance of (or any agreement, plan or arrangement therefor) any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or a
combination of units thereof) in any “equity line of credit,” “at the market offering” or other similar continuous
offering in which the Company may offer, issue or sell Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or any combination of units thereof)
at a future determined price, other than (a) Securities issued to the Investor pursuant to this Agreement and any of the other Transaction
Documents or pursuant to any other agreement entered into by the Company and the Investor at any time after the date of this Agreement,
and (b) any securities of the Company issued upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any shares of Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents held by the Investor at any time (such similar transaction other than those referred to clauses (a) and (b) hereof,
a “Similar Transaction”). From and after the date immediately following the last day of the Similar Transaction
Restricted Period, the Company and/or any Subsidiary shall be permitted to enter into an agreement, plan or arrangement to effect a Similar
Transaction (and may publicly announce the same), and the Company and/or any Subsidiary shall be permitted to take all such actions necessary
or as contemplated thereby in order to satisfy any conditions required thereunder to be satisfied by the Company and/or any Subsidiary
in order to commence issuances and sales of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) thereunder,
including, without limitation, preparing and filing with the Commission one or more registration statements to register under the Securities
Act the offer, issuance and sale by the Company of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) thereunder,
or to register the resale by any Person or Persons of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) that
may be issued or sold by the Company and/or any Subsidiary to such Person or Persons thereunder; provided, however, that
none of the Company or Subsidiary may issue, sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or
a combination of units thereof) to or through any Person or Persons thereunder prior to the date of termination of this Agreement pursuant
to Section 7. The Investor shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief against the Company and the Subsidiaries to preclude any
such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages, without the necessity of showing economic loss and
without any bond or other security being required.
23
Section 5.7. Corporate
Existence. The Company shall take all steps necessary to preserve and continue the corporate existence of the Company; provided,
however, that, except as provided in Section 5.8, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit the Company from
engaging in any Fundamental Transaction with another Person. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5.7 shall in any
way limit the Company’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.2 (subject in all cases to Section 7.3).
Section 5.8. Fundamental
Transaction. If a VWAP Purchase Notice has been delivered by the Company to the Investor under Article II and the applicable
VWAP Purchase has or have not yet been fully settled in accordance with this Agreement (including, without limitation, the delivery by
the Investor to the Company of the applicable total purchase price for all of the Shares to be purchased by the Investor in such VWAP
Purchase as contemplated by Article II), the Company shall not effect any Fundamental Transaction until the expiration of three
(3) Trading Days following the Trading Day on which the Investor has delivered to the Company the applicable total purchase price
for all of the Shares to be purchased by the Investor in such VWAP Purchase.
Section 5.9. Selling
Restrictions.
(i) Except
as expressly set forth below, the Investor covenants that from and after the Closing Date through and including the Trading Day next
following the expiration or termination of this Agreement (the “Restricted Period”), neither the Investor nor
any of its Affiliates nor any entity managed or controlled by the Investor (collectively, the “Restricted Persons”
and each of the foregoing is referred to herein as a “Restricted Person”) shall, directly or indirectly, (x) engage
in any Short Sales involving the Company’s securities or (y) grant any option to purchase, or acquire any right to dispose
of or otherwise dispose for value of, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for
any shares of Common Stock, or enter into any swap, hedge or other similar agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic
risk of ownership of the Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that nothing contained herein
shall (without implication that the contrary would otherwise be true) prohibit any Restricted Person during the Restricted Period
from: (1) selling “long” (as defined under Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO) the Securities; or (2) selling a
number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Shares that such Restricted Person is or may be obligated to purchase under
a pending VWAP Purchase Notice but has not yet taken possession of so long as such Restricted Person (or the Broker-Dealer, as applicable)
delivers the Shares purchased pursuant to such VWAP Purchase Notice to the purchaser thereof or the applicable Broker-Dealer upon such
Restricted Person’s receipt of such shares of Common Stock from the Company pursuant to this Agreement.
24
(ii) In
addition to the foregoing, in connection with any sale of Securities (including any sale permitted by paragraph (i) above), the
Investor shall comply in all respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders, including, without limitation, the requirements
of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.
Section 5.10. Effective
Registration Statement. During the Investment Period, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the
continuous effectiveness of each Registration Statement filed with the Commission under the Securities Act for the applicable Registration
Period pursuant to and in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement.
Section 5.11. Blue
Sky. The Company shall take such action, if any, as is necessary by the Company in order to obtain an exemption for or to qualify
the Securities for sale by the Company to the Investor pursuant to the Transaction Documents, and at the request of the Investor, the
subsequent resale of Registrable Securities by the Investor, in each case, under applicable state securities or “Blue Sky”
laws and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Investor from time to time following the Closing Date; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business
in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 5.11, (y) subject itself to general
taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.
Section 5.12. Non-Public
Information. None of the Company or of the Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents
shall disclose any material non-public information about the Company or the Subsidiaries to the Investor, unless a simultaneous public
announcement thereof is made by the Company in the manner contemplated by Regulation FD. In the event of a breach of the foregoing covenant
by the Company or of the Subsidiaries, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (as determined in the reasonable
good faith judgment of the Investor), (i) the Investor shall promptly provide written notice of such breach to the Company and (ii) after
such notice has been provided to the Company and, provided that the Company shall have failed to publicly disclose such material, non-public
information within 24 hours following demand therefor by the Investor, in addition to any other remedy provided herein or in the other
Transaction Documents, the Investor shall have the right to make a public disclosure, in the form of a press release, public advertisement
or otherwise, of such material, non-public information without the prior approval by the Company, any of the Subsidiaries, or any of
their respective directors, officers, employees or agents. The Investor shall not have any liability to the Company, any of the Subsidiaries,
or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, stockholders or agents, for any such disclosure.
Section 5.13. Broker/Dealer.
The Investor shall use one or more broker-dealers to effectuate all sales, if any, of the Shares that it may purchase or otherwise acquire
from the Company pursuant to the Transaction Documents, as applicable, which (or whom) shall be unaffiliated with the Investor and not
then currently engaged or used by the Company, and a DTC participant (collectively, the “Broker-Dealer”). The
Investor shall, from time to time, provide the Company and the Transfer Agent with all information regarding the Broker-Dealer reasonably
requested by the Company. The Investor shall be solely responsible for all fees and commissions of the Broker-Dealer, which shall not
exceed customary brokerage fees and commissions and shall be responsible for designating only a DTC participant eligible to receive DWAC
Shares.

of a specific Notice Delivery Time). For purposes of this Section 5.14, any disclosure made in a schedule to the Compliance Certificate
shall be deemed to be an update of the Disclosure Schedule. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no update to
the Disclosure Schedule pursuant to this Section 5.14 shall cure any breach of a representation or warranty of the Company contained

anything to the contrary contained in the Disclosure Schedule or in this Agreement, the information and disclosure contained in any Schedule
of the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be disclosed and incorporated by reference in any other Schedule of the Disclosure Schedule
as though fully set forth in such Schedule for which applicability of such information and disclosure is reasonably apparent. The fact
that any item of information is disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule shall not be construed to mean that such information is required
to be disclosed by this Agreement. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, such information and the thresholds (whether based
on quantity, qualitative characterization, dollar amounts or otherwise) set forth herein shall not be used as a basis for interpreting
the terms “material” or “Material Adverse Effect” or other similar terms in this Agreement.

in the Registration Statement (it being hereby acknowledged and agreed that the filing by the Company with the Commission of a quarterly
report on Form 10-Q that includes only updated financial information as of the end of the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter
shall not, in and of itself, constitute an “amendment” or “restatement” for purposes of clause (ii) of this
Section 5.15), in each case of this clause (ii) if the Company is not also then required under the Securities Act to file a
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a post-effective amendment to any New Registration Statement, in each case

which shall be non-refundable when paid as of the Closing Date pursuant to Section 9.1(i), regardless of whether any VWAP Purchases

the Company or the Investor from any liability for any breach or default under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents
to which it is a party, or to impair the respective rights of the Company and the Investor to compel specific performance by the other
party of its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.
35
Article VIII
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 8.1. Indemnification
of Investor. In consideration of the Investor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and acquiring the Securities hereunder
and in addition to all of the other respective obligations of the Company under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, subject
to the provisions of this Section 8.1, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Investor, each of its directors, officers,
shareholders, members, partners, employees, representatives, agents and advisors (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent
role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title), each Person, if any, who controls the
Investor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act), and the respective
directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, representatives, agents and advisors (and any other Persons with a functionally
equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling Persons
(each, an “Investor Party”), from and against all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies,
damages, costs and expenses (including all judgments, amounts paid in settlement, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs
of defense and investigation) (collectively, “Damages”) that any Investor 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 to which it is a party or (b) any action, suit, claim or proceeding (including for
these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company) instituted against such Investor Party arising out of or resulting
from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents, other than claims for indemnification within the
scope of Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement; provided, however, that (x) the foregoing indemnity
shall not apply to any Damages to the extent, but only to the extent, that such Damages resulted directly and primarily from any acts
or failures to act, undertaken or omitted to be taken by such Investor Party through its fraud, bad faith, gross negligence, or willful
or reckless misconduct.
The Company shall reimburse
any Investor Party promptly upon demand (with accompanying presentation of documentary evidence) for all legal and other costs and expenses
reasonably incurred by such Investor Party in connection with (i) any action, suit, claim or proceeding, whether at law or in equity,
to enforce compliance by the Company with any provision of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party or (ii) any other any
action, suit, claim or proceeding, whether at law or in equity, with respect to which it is entitled to indemnification under this Section 8.1;
provided that the Investor shall promptly reimburse the Company for all such legal and other costs and expenses to the extent
a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any Investor Party was not entitled to such reimbursement.
An Investor Party’s
right to indemnification or other remedies based upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company set forth
in the Transaction Documents to which it is a party shall not in any way be affected by any investigation or knowledge of such Investor
Party. Such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of the fact that an
Investor Party knew or should have known that any representation or warranty might be inaccurate or that the Company failed to comply
with any agreement or covenant. Any investigation by such Investor Party shall be for its own protection only and shall not affect or
impair any right or remedy hereunder.
36
To the extent that the foregoing
joint and several undertakings by the Company set forth in this Section 8.1 may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall
make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Damages which is permissible under Applicable Law.
Section 8.2. Indemnification
Procedures. Promptly after an Investor Party receives notice of a claim or the commencement of an action for which the Investor
Party intends to seek indemnification under Section 8.1, the Investor Party will notify the Company in writing of the claim or commencement
of the action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that failure to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from
liability under Section 8.1, except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by the failure to give notice. The Company will
be entitled to participate in the defense of any claim, action, suit or proceeding as to which indemnification is being sought, and if
the Company acknowledges in writing the obligation to indemnify the Investor Party against whom the claim or action is brought, the Company
may (but will not be required to) assume the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding with counsel satisfactory to it. After
the Company notifies the Investor Party that the Company wishes to assume the defense of a claim, action, suit or proceeding, the Company
will not be liable for any further legal or other expenses incurred by the Investor Party in connection with the defense against the
claim, action, suit or proceeding except that if, in the opinion of counsel to the Investor Party, it would be inappropriate under the
applicable rules of professional responsibility for the same counsel to represent both the Company and such Investor Party. In such
event, the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel for all such Investor Parties promptly
as such fees and expenses are incurred. Each Investor Party, as a condition to receiving indemnification as provided in Section 8.1,
will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Company in the defense of any action or claim as to which indemnification is sought.
The Company will not be liable for any settlement of any action effected without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Investor Party, effect
any settlement of a pending or threatened action with respect to which an Investor Party is, or is informed that it may be, made a party
and for which it would be entitled to indemnification, unless the settlement includes an unconditional release of the Investor Party
from all liability and claims which are the subject matter of the pending or threatened action.
The remedies provided for
in this Article VIII are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Investor
Party at law or in equity.

reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including the legal fees and disbursements of the Investor’s legal counsel, incurred by the
Investor in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Investor and its
due diligence investigation of the Company (such amount, the “Investor Expense Reimbursement”). For the avoidance
of doubt, the Investor Expense Reimbursement, shall be non-refundable when paid as of the Closing Date, regardless of whether any VWAP
Purchases are made or settled hereunder or any subsequent termination of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all U.S. federal, state
and local stamp and other similar transfer and other taxes and duties levied in connection with issuance of the Securities pursuant hereto.
(ii) Commitment

all of the Commitment Shares shall be fully earned as of the Closing Date, regardless of whether any VWAP Purchases are effected hereunder

the Transfer Agent to issue to the Investor or its designee all of the Shares and any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion

Agent (and thereafter, shall deliver or cause to be delivered to any subsequent transfer agent of the Company) (i) irrevocable instructions
in the form substantially similar to the Commencement Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions executed by the Company and acknowledged
in writing by the Transfer Agent and (ii) the Notice of Effectiveness, in each case modified as necessary to refer to such Registration
Statement or post-effective amendment and the Registrable Securities included therein. For the avoidance of doubt, all Shares and any
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Commitment Shares to be issued from and after Commencement to or for the benefit
of the Investor pursuant to this Agreement shall be issued to the Investor or its designee only as DWAC Shares. The Company represents
and warrants to the Investor that, while this Agreement is effective, no instruction other than those referred to in this Section 9.1(iii) will
be given by the Company to the Transfer Agent, or any successor transfer agent of the Company, with respect to the Shares or shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Commitment Shares from and after Commencement, and the Shares covered by any New Registration
Statement or post-effective amendment thereof, as applicable, shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the
Company and no stop transfer instructions shall be maintained against the transfer thereof. The Company agrees that if the Company fails
to fully comply with the provisions of this Section 9.1(iii) within three (3) Trading Days after the date on which the
Investor has provided the deliverables referred to above that the Investor is required to provide to the Company or the Transfer Agent,
the Company shall, at the Investor’s written instruction, purchase from the Investor all shares of Common Stock purchased or acquired
by the Investor pursuant to this Agreement that contain restrictive legends at the greater of (i) the purchase price paid for such
shares of Common Stock (as applicable) and (ii) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the date of the Investor’s written
instruction.

party may be entitled by law or equity.
(ii) Each
of the Company and the Investor (a) hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court and other courts of

Agreement, and (b) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally
subject to the jurisdiction of such court, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue
of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each of the Company and the Investor consents to process being served in any such suit,
action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof 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 in this Section 9.2 shall
affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
(iii) EACH
OF THE COMPANY AND THE INVESTOR HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL

Securities as shall be permitted to be included thereon in accordance with applicable Commission rules, regulations and interpretations,

sections in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

or about the date hereof by and between the Company the investor parties thereto in connection with the issuance of the Series A
Preferred Stock (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).
4
(e) Offering.
If the Staff or the Commission seeks to characterize any offering pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement
as constituting an offering of securities that does not permit such Registration Statement to become effective and be used for resales
by the Investor on a delayed or continuous basis under Rule 415 at then-prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices), or if after
the filing of any Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(c), the Company is otherwise required by
the Staff or the Commission to reduce the number of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, then the Company shall
reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration Statement (after consultation with the Investor and Legal
Counsel as to the specific Registrable Securities to be removed therefrom) until such time as the Staff and the Commission shall so permit
such Registration Statement to become effective and be used as aforesaid. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
if after giving effect to the actions referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, the Staff or the Commission does not permit such
Registration Statement to become effective and be used for resales by the Investor on a delayed or continuous basis under Rule 415
at then-prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices), the Company shall not request acceleration of the Effective Date of such Registration
Statement, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than 48 hours) request the withdrawal of such Registration Statement pursuant
to Rule 477 under the Securities Act. In the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this paragraph, if the
Company desires to sell any Shares to the Investor that are not covered by an Initial Registration Statement or New Registration Statement,
the Company shall then use its commercially reasonable efforts to file one or more New Registration Statements with the Commission in
accordance with Section 2(c) until such time as all Registrable Securities have been included in Registration Statements that
have been declared effective and the Prospectuses contained therein are available for use by the Investor.
(f) Any
Registrable Security shall cease to be a “Registrable Security” at the earliest of the following: (i) when a Registration
Statement covering such Registrable Security becomes or has been declared effective by the Commission and such Registrable Security has
been sold or disposed of pursuant to such effective Registration Statement; (ii) when such Registrable Security is held by the Company
or one of its subsidiaries; and (iii) the date that is the later of (A) the first (1st) anniversary of the date of
termination of the Purchase Agreement in accordance with Article VII of the Purchase Agreement and (B) the first (1st)
anniversary of the date of the last sale of any Registrable Securities to the Investor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
3. Related Obligations.

commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
and the intended method of disposition thereof, and, pursuant thereto, during the term of this Agreement, the Company shall have the following
obligations:
(a) The
Company shall promptly prepare and file with the Commission the Initial Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof
and, as required, one or more New Registration Statements pursuant to Section 2(c) hereof with respect to the Registrable Securities,

by the Company to the Investor and for resales by the Investor on a continuous basis at then-prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices)
at all times until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Investor shall have sold all of the Registrable Securities covered by
such Registration Statement and (ii) the date of termination of the Purchase Agreement if as of such termination date the Investor
holds no Registrable Securities (or, if applicable, the date on which such securities cease to be Registrable Securities after the date
of termination of the Purchase Agreement) (the “Registration Period”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement (but subject to the provisions of Section 3(o) hereof), the Company shall ensure that, when filed
and at all times while effective, each Registration Statement (including, without limitation, all amendments and supplements thereto)
and the Prospectus (including, without limitation, all amendments and supplements thereto) used in connection with such Registration Statement
shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary
to make the statements therein (in the case of Prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading.
The Company shall submit to the Commission, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date that the Company learns that no review of
a particular Registration Statement will be made by the Staff or that the Staff has no further comments on a particular Registration Statement
(as the case may be), a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date as soon as reasonably
practicable in accordance with Rule 461 under the Securities Act.
5
(b) Subject
to Section 3(c) of this Agreement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the Commission
such amendments (including, without limitation, post-effective amendments) and supplements to each Registration Statement and the Prospectus
used in connection with each such Registration Statement, which Prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under
the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep each such Registration Statement effective (and the Prospectus contained therein current
and available for use) at all times during the Registration Period for such Registration Statement, and, during such period, comply with
the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company required to be covered
by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the
intended methods of disposition by the Investor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company covenants and agrees that
(i) at or before 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the second (2nd) Trading Day immediately following the Effective
Date of the Initial Registration Statement and any New Registration Statement (or any post-effective amendment thereto), the Company shall
file with the Commission in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act the final Prospectus to be used in connection
with sales pursuant to such Registration Statement (or post-effective amendment thereto), and (ii) if the transactions contemplated
by any VWAP Purchase are material to the Company (individually or collectively with all other prior VWAP Purchases, the consummation of
which have not previously been reported in any Prospectus filed with the Commission under Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act
or in any report, statement or other document filed by the Company with the Commission under the Exchange Act), or if otherwise required
under the Securities Act (or the interpretations of the Commission thereof), in each case as reasonably determined by the Company and
the Investor, then, within the time period prescribed under Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, the Company shall file with
the Commission a Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act with respect to the applicable VWAP Purchase(s),
disclosing the total number of Shares that are to be (and, if applicable, have been) issued and sold to the Investor pursuant to such
purchase(s), the total purchase price for the Shares subject to such purchase(s), the applicable purchases price(s) for such Shares
and the net proceeds that are to be (and, if applicable, have been) received by the Company from the sale of such Shares. To the extent
not previously disclosed in the Prospectus, the Company shall disclose in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in its Annual Reports
on Form 10-K the information described in the immediately preceding sentence relating to all purchase(s) consummated during
the relevant fiscal quarter and shall file such Quarterly Reports and Annual Reports with the Commission within the applicable time period
prescribed for such report under the Exchange Act. In the case of amendments and supplements to any Registration Statement or Prospectus
related thereto which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to this Section 3(b))
by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 8-K, Form 10-Q or Form 10-K or any analogous report under the Exchange
Act, the Company shall file such amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus with the Commission within one
Trading Day after the Exchange Act report is filed which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement such Registration
Statement or Prospectus, for the purpose of including such report into such Registration Statement and Prospectus. The Company consents
to the use of the Prospectus (including, without limitation, any supplement thereto) included in each Registration Statement in accordance
with the provisions of the Securities Act and with the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the jurisdictions in which the Registrable
Securities may be sold by the Investor, in connection with the resale of the Registrable Securities and for such period of time thereafter
as such Prospectus (including, without limitation, any supplement thereto) (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under
the Securities Act) is required by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with resales of Registrable Securities.
6
(c) The
Company shall (A) permit Legal Counsel an opportunity to review and comment upon (i) each Registration Statement at least two
(2) Business Days prior to its filing with the Commission and (ii) all amendments and supplements to each Registration Statement
(including, without limitation, the Prospectus contained therein) (except for amendments and supplements filed in connection with Annual
Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and any similar or successor reports
the contents of which is limited to that set forth in such reports) within a reasonable number of days prior to their filing with the
Commission, and (B) shall reasonably consider any comments of the Investor and Legal Counsel on any such Registration Statement or
amendment or supplement thereto or to any Prospectus contained therein. The Company shall promptly furnish to Legal Counsel, without charge,
(i) electronic copies of any correspondence from the Commission or the Staff to the Company or its representatives relating to each
Registration Statement (which correspondence shall be redacted to exclude any material, non-public information regarding the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries), (ii) after the same is prepared and filed with the Commission, one (1) electronic copy of each Registration
Statement and any amendment(s) and supplement(s) thereto, including, without limitation, financial statements and schedules,

of each Registration Statement, one (1) electronic copy of the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments
and supplements thereto; provided, however, the Company shall not be required to furnish any document (other than the Prospectus, which
may be provided in .PDF format) to Legal Counsel to the extent such document is available on EDGAR.
(d) Without
limiting any obligation of the Company under the Purchase Agreement, if requested by an Investor, the Company shall promptly furnish to
such Investor, without charge, (i) after the same is prepared and filed with the Commission, at least one (1) electronic copy
of each Registration Statement and any amendment(s) and supplement(s) thereto, including, without limitation, financial statements
and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by the Investor, all exhibits thereto, (ii) upon the
effectiveness of each Registration Statement, one (1) electronic copy of the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement and

other documents, including, without limitation, copies of any final Prospectus, as the Investor may reasonably request from time to time
in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the Investor; provided, however, the Company shall not be
required to furnish any document (other than the Prospectus, which may be provided in .PDF format) to the Investor to the extent such
document is available on EDGAR).

Company shall take such action as is reasonably necessary to (i) register and qualify, unless an exemption from registration and
qualification applies, the resale by the Investor of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities
or “Blue Sky” laws of all applicable jurisdictions in the United States, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions,
such amendments (including, without limitation, post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as
may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be reasonably
necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take
all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided,
however, the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business
in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(e), (y) subject itself to general
taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall

jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.
(f) The
Company shall notify Legal Counsel and the Investor in writing of the happening of any event, as promptly as reasonably practicable after
becoming aware of such event, as a result of which the Prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an
untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain
any material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), and, subject to Section 3(c), promptly prepare
a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement and such Prospectus contained therein to correct such untrue statement or omission
and, if requested by such Legal Counsel or Investor, deliver one (1) electronic copy of such supplement or amendment to Legal Counsel
and the Investor (or such other number of copies as Legal Counsel or the Investor may reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly
notify Legal Counsel and the Investor in writing (i) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement or post-effective amendment has
been filed, when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall
be delivered to Legal Counsel and the Investor by facsimile or e-mail on the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight mail), and
when the Company receives written notice from the Commission that a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment will be reviewed
by the Commission, (ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus
or related information, (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement
would be appropriate and (iv) of the receipt of any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority
for any additional information relating to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto or any related Prospectus.

Statement or any amendment thereto. Nothing in this Section 3(f) shall limit any obligation of the Company under the Purchase
Agreement.
8
(g) The
Company shall (i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness
of a Registration Statement or the use of any Prospectus contained therein, or the suspension of the qualification, or the loss of an
exemption from qualification, of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is
issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible time and (ii) notify Legal Counsel and the
Investor of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding.
(h) The
Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning the Investor provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure
of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary
to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required to be disclosed in such Registration
Statement pursuant to the Securities Act, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final,
non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally
available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. The Company agrees
that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning the Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body
of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to the Investor and allow the Investor, at the Investor’s
expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.
(i) The
Company shall cooperate with the Investor and, to the extent applicable, facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of Registrable
Securities, as DWAC Shares, to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such DWAC Shares to be in such denominations
as the Investor may reasonably request from time to time and registered in such names as the Investor may request. Investor hereby agrees
that it shall cooperate with the Company, its counsel and Transfer Agent in connection with any issuances of DWAC Shares, and hereby represents,
warrants and covenants to the Company that that it will resell such DWAC Shares only pursuant to the Registration Statement in which such
DWAC Shares are included, in a manner described under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in such Registration Statement, and
in a manner in compliance with all applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation,
any applicable prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. DWAC Shares shall be free from all restrictive legends and may
be transmitted by the transfer agent to the Investor by crediting an account at DTC as directed in writing by the Investor.
9
(j) Upon
the written request of the Investor, the Company shall as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of notice from the Investor and
subject to Section 3(n) hereof, (i) incorporate in a Prospectus Supplement or post-effective amendment such information
as the Investor reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including,
without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid
therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) make all required filings
of such Prospectus Supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus Supplement
or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement or Prospectus contained therein
if reasonably requested by the Investor.
(k) The
Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be registered
with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable
Securities.
(l) The
Company shall otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission
in connection with any registration hereunder.
(m) Within
one (1) Business Day after each Registration Statement which covers Registrable Securities is declared effective by the Commission,
the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities
(with copies to the Investor) confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission in a form to
be provided by counsel to the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Investor.
(n) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein (but subject to the last sentence of this Section 3(n)), at any time after the Effective
Date of a particular Registration Statement, the Company may, upon written notice to Investor, suspend Investor’s use of any prospectus
that is a part of any Registration Statement (in which event the Investor shall discontinue sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant
to such Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement, but may, in its sole discretion, settle any previously made sales of Registrable
Securities) if the Company (x) is pursuing an acquisition, merger, tender offer, reorganization, disposition or other similar transaction
and the Company determines in good faith that (A) the Company’s ability to pursue or consummate such a transaction would be
materially adversely affected by any required disclosure of such transaction in such Registration Statement or other registration statement
or (B) such transaction renders the Company unable to comply with Commission requirements, in each case under circumstances that
would make it impractical or inadvisable to cause any Registration Statement (or such filings) to be used by Investor or to promptly amend
or supplement any Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement on a post effective basis, as applicable, or (y) has experienced
some other material non-public event the disclosure of which at such time, in the good faith judgment of the Company, would materially
adversely affect the Company (each, an “Allowable Grace Period”); provided, however, that in no event
shall the Investor be suspended from selling Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement for a period that exceeds twenty
(20) consecutive Trading Days or an aggregate of sixty (60) days in any 365-day period; and provided, further, the Company shall
not effect any such suspension during (A) the first 10 consecutive Trading Days after the Effective Date of the particular Registration
Statement or (B) the five-Trading Day period following each settlement date for a VWAP Purchase. Upon disclosure of such information
or the termination of the condition described above, the Company shall provide prompt notice, but in any event within one Business Day
of such disclosure or termination, to the Investor and shall promptly terminate any suspension of sales it has put into effect and shall
take such other reasonable actions to permit registered sales of Registrable Securities as contemplated in this Agreement (including as
set forth in the first sentence of Section 3(f) with respect to the information giving rise thereto unless such material, non-public
information is no longer applicable). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3(n), if the Company is
obligated in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement to deliver DWAC Shares to a transferee of the Investor in connection
with any resale of Registrable Securities with respect to which the Investor has entered into a contract for sale, and delivered a copy
of the Prospectus included as part of the particular Registration Statement to the extent applicable, in each case prior to the Investor’s
receipt of the notice of an Allowable Grace Period and for which the Investor has not yet settled, the Company shall deliver DWAC Shares
to such transferee in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
10
4. Obligations of the Investor.
(a) At
least two (2) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of each Registration Statement (or such shorter period to
which the parties agree), the Company shall notify the Investor in writing of the information the Company requires from the Investor with
respect to such Registration Statement. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration
pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of the Investor that the Investor shall promptly furnish to the
Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable
Securities held by it, as shall be reasonably required to effect and maintain the effectiveness of the registration of such Registrable
Securities, and shall promptly execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.
(b) The
Investor agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of
each Registration Statement hereunder, unless the Investor has notified the Company in writing of the Investor’s election to exclude
all of the Investor’s Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.
(c) The
Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(l) or
the first sentence of 3(f), the Investor shall immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration
Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until the Investor’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended
Prospectus contemplated by Section 3(l) or the first sentence of Section 3(f) or receipt of notice that no supplement
or amendment is required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(c), the Company shall cause its transfer agent
to deliver DWAC Shares to a transferee of the Investor in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale
of Registrable Securities with respect to which the Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s receipt
of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(l) or the first sentence of Section 3(f) and
for which the Investor has not yet settled.
11
(d) The
Investor covenants and agrees that it shall comply with the prospectus delivery and other requirements of the Securities Act as applicable
to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.
5. Expenses of Registration.
Except as provided in the
Purchase Agreement, all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections
2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, and fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be paid by the Company, except that sales or brokerage commissions and fees and disbursements
of counsel for, and other expenses of, the Investor shall be paid by the Investor.
6. Indemnification.
(a) In
the event any Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement under this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Investor, each of its directors, officers, shareholders,
members, partners, employees, agents, advisors, representatives (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person
holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title) and each Person, if any, who controls the Investor within
the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each of the directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees,
agents, advisors, representatives (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding
the lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling Persons (each, an “Investor Party” and collectively,
the “Investor Parties”), against any losses, obligations, claims, damages, liabilities, contingencies, judgments,
fines, penalties, charges, costs (including, without limitation, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs of defense and investigation),
amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”) reasonably incurred in investigating,
preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any
court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the Commission, whether pending or threatened, whether or not
an Investor Party is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject
insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon:
(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment
thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “Blue Sky”
laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue Sky Filing”), or the omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or
(ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus (as amended or supplemented)
or in any Prospectus Supplement or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements
made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading (the matters in the foregoing
clauses (i) and (ii) being, collectively, “Violations”). Subject to Section 6(c), the Company
shall reimburse the Investor Parties, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable
expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Investor Party arising
out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company
by such Investor Party for such Investor Party expressly for use in connection with the preparation of such Registration Statement, Prospectus
or Prospectus Supplement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto (it being hereby acknowledged and agreed that the written
information set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto is the only written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf
of the Investor expressly for use in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement); (ii) shall not be available
to the Investor to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the Prospectus (as
amended or supplemented) made available by the Company (to the extent applicable), including, without limitation, a corrected Prospectus,
if such Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) or corrected Prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(d) and
then only if, and to the extent that, following the receipt of the corrected Prospectus no grounds for such Claim would have existed;
and (iii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent
of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless
of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Investor Party and shall survive the transfer of any of the Registrable Securities by
the Investor pursuant to Section 9.
12
(b) In
connection with any Registration Statement in which the Investor is participating, the Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify,
hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors,
each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Company Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which
any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages
arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case, to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information relating to the Investor furnished to the Company by the Investor expressly for use in
connection with such Registration Statement, the Prospectus included therein or any Prospectus Supplement thereto (it being hereby acknowledged
and agreed that the written information set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto is the only written information furnished to
the Company by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement); and,
subject to Section 6(c) and the below provisos in this Section 6(b), the Investor shall reimburse a Company Party any legal
or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Company Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided,
however, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained
in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written
consent of the Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and provided, further that the Investor shall
be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds
to the Investor as a result of the applicable sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or Prospectus
Supplement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Company
Party and shall survive the transfer of any of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.
13
(c) Promptly
after receipt by an Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any
action or proceeding (including, without limitation, any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Investor Party or
Company Party (as the case may be) shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6,
deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate
in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control
of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Investor Party or the Company Party (as the
case may be); provided, however, an Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) shall have the right to retain
its own counsel with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the indemnifying party if: (i) the indemnifying party has
agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of
such Claim and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) in any such Claim;
or (iii) the named parties to any such Claim (including, without limitation, any impleaded parties) include both such Investor Party
or Company Party (as the case may be) and the indemnifying party, and such Investor Party or such Company Party (as the case may be) shall
have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Investor Party
or such Company Party and the indemnifying party (in which case, if such Investor Party or such Company Party (as the case may be) notifies
the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, then the indemnifying
party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof on behalf of the indemnified party and such counsel shall be at the expense
of the indemnifying party, provided further that in the case of clause (iii) above the indemnifying party shall not be responsible
for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one (1) separate legal counsel for all Investor Parties or Company Parties (as
the case may be). The Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection
with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all
information reasonably available to the Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) which relates to such action or Claim. The
indemnifying party shall keep the Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) reasonably apprised at all times as to the status
of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action,
claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably
withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Company Party or Investor
Party (as the case may be), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as
an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) of
a release from all liability in respect to such Claim or litigation, and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on
the part of the Company Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the immediately preceding sentence shall apply to Sections 6(a) and 6(b) hereof.
Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Company Party or
Investor Party (as the case may be) with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification
has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such
action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) under this
Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such
action.
14
(d) No
Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities who is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the Securities Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to indemnification from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable
Securities who is not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation.
(e) The
indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation
or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred; provided that any Person receiving any payment
pursuant to this Section 6 shall promptly reimburse the Person making such payment for the amount of such payment to the extent a
court of competent jurisdiction determines that such Person receiving such payment was not entitled to such payment.
(f) The
indemnity and contribution agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Company
Party or Investor Party against the indemnifying party or others, including any rights under the Purchase Agreement, and (ii) any
liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to applicable law.
7. Contribution.
To the extent any indemnification
by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect
to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however:
(i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault
standards set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement, (ii) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person
is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) in connection with such
sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation; and (iii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the amount of net
proceeds received by such seller from the applicable sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Section 7, the Investor shall not be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the
amount by which the net proceeds actually received by the Investor from the applicable sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the
Claim exceeds the amount of any damages that the Investor has otherwise been required to pay, or would otherwise be required to pay under
Section 6(b), by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
8. Reports Under the Exchange Act.
With a view to making available
to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144, the Company agrees to:
(a) so
long as the Investor owns Registrable Securities, use its reasonable best efforts to make and keep public information available, as those
terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
15
(b) so
long as the Investor owns Registrable Securities, use its reasonable best efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports
and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such
requirements (it being understood that nothing herein shall limit any of the Company’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement)
and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144;
(c) furnish
to the Investor so long as the Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company,
if true, that it has complied with the reporting, submission and posting requirements of Rule 144 and the Exchange Act, if applicable
(ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company
with the Commission if such reports are not publicly available via EDGAR, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested
to permit the Investor to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration; and
(d) take
such additional action as is reasonably requested by the Investor to enable the Investor to sell the Registrable Securities pursuant to
Rule 144, including, without limitation, delivering all such legal opinions, consents, certificates, resolutions and instructions
to the Company’s Transfer Agent as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Investor and otherwise fully cooperate with
Investor and Investor’s broker to effect such sale of securities pursuant to Rule 144.
9. Assignment of Registration Rights.
The Company shall not assign
this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Investor; provided, however, that any transaction,
whether by merger, reorganization, restructuring, consolidation, financing or otherwise, whereby the Company remains the surviving entity
immediately after such transaction shall not be deemed an assignment. The Investor may not assign its rights under this Agreement without
the prior written consent of the Company, other than to an affiliate of the Investor controlled by Marissa Welner, in which case the assignee
must agree in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
10. Amendment or Waiver.
No
provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived by the parties from and after the date that is one (1) Trading Day immediately
preceding the filing of the New Registration Statement with the Commission. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, no provision
of this Agreement may be (i) amended other than by a written instrument signed by both parties hereto or (ii) waived other than
in a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. Failure of any party to exercise any right
or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof.
16
11. Miscellaneous.
(a) Solely
for purposes of this Agreement, a Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns or is deemed to
own of record such Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons
with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from
such record owner of such Registrable Securities.
(b) Any
notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement shall be given
in accordance with Section 9.4 of the Purchase Agreement.
(c) Failure
of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy,
shall not operate as a waiver thereof. The Company and the Investor acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event
that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It
is accordingly agreed that either party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions
of this Agreement by the other party and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (without the necessity of showing economic
loss and without any bond or other security being required), this being in addition to any other remedy to which either party may be entitled
by law or equity.
(d) All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation 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.
Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the 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, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally
subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue
of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process
being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under
this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. If any provision of this Agreement
shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other
jurisdiction. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION
OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
17
(e) The
Transaction Documents set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties solely with respect to the subject matter thereof
and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, negotiations and understandings between the parties, both oral and written, solely
with respect to such matters. There are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by either party relative to subject matter
hereof not expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and without implication
that the contrary would otherwise be true, nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit, modify or affect in any manner whatsoever
(i) the conditions precedent to a VWAP Purchase contained in the Purchase Agreement or (ii) any party’s obligations under
the Purchase Agreement.
(f) This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors. This Agreement is not
for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any Person, other than the parties hereto, their respective successors
and the Persons referred to in Sections 6 and 7 hereof.
(g) The
headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. Unless the
context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural
forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed
broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof”
and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.
(h) This
Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall
become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party; provided that a facsimile signature
or signature delivered by e-mail in a “.pdf” format data file, including any electronic signature complying with the U.S.
federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com, www.echosign.adobe.com, etc., shall be considered due execution and shall be binding
upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original signature.
(i) Each
party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such
other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
(j) The
language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent and no rules of
strict construction will be applied against any party.
