PURCHASE
AND SALE
2.1 Closing. On
the Closing Date, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Company agrees to sell, and the Purchasers,
severally and not jointly, agree to purchase, up to an aggregate of $4,690,000 of Shares and Warrants; provided, however,
that, to the extent that a Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion, that such Purchaser (together with such Purchaser’s
Affiliates, and any Person acting as a group together with such Purchaser or any of such Purchaser’s Affiliates) would
beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, or as such Purchaser may otherwise choose, in lieu of purchasing
Shares such Purchaser may elect to purchase Pre- Funded Warrants in lieu of Shares in such manner to result in the same aggregate
purchase price being paid by such Purchaser to the Company. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99%
(or, at the election of the Purchaser at Closing, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after
giving effect to the issuance of the Securities on the Closing Date. Each Purchaser’s Subscription Amount as set forth on the
signature page hereto executed by such Purchaser shall be made available for “Delivery Versus Payment” settlement with
the Company or its designee. The Company shall deliver to each Purchaser its respective Shares (and/or Pre-Funded Warrants) and a
Warrant as determined pursuant to Section 2.2(a), and the Company and each Purchaser shall deliver the other items set forth in
Section 2.2 deliverable at the Closing. Upon satisfaction of the covenants and conditions set forth in Sections 2.2 and 2.3, the
Closing shall take place remotely by electronic transfer of the Closing documentation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if at any time on or after the time of execution of this Agreement by the Company and an applicable Purchaser, through,
and including the time immediately prior to the Closing (the “Pre-Settlement Period”), such Purchaser sells to
any Person all, or any portion, of the Shares to be issued hereunder to such Purchaser at the Closing (collectively, the
“Pre-Settlement Shares”), such Purchaser shall, automatically hereunder (without any additional required actions
by such Purchaser or the Company), be deemed to be unconditionally bound to purchase, such Pre-Settlement Shares at the Closing;
provided, that the Company shall not be required to deliver any Pre-Settlement Shares to such Purchaser prior to the Company’s
receipt of the purchase price of such Pre-Settlement Shares hereunder; and provided further that the Company hereby acknowledges and
agrees that the forgoing shall not constitute a representation or covenant by such Purchaser as to whether or not during the
Pre-Settlement Period such Purchaser shall sell any shares of Common Stock to any Person and that any such decision to sell any
shares of Common Stock by such Purchaser shall solely be made at the time such Purchaser elects to effect any such sale, if any.
Unless otherwise directed by the Placement Agent, settlement of the Shares shall occur via “Delivery Versus Payment”
(“DVP”) (i.e., on the Closing Date, the Company shall issue the Shares registered in the Purchasers’ names
and addresses and released by the Transfer Agent directly to the account(s) at the Placement Agent identified by each Purchaser;
upon receipt of such Shares, the Placement Agent shall promptly electronically deliver such Shares to the applicable Purchaser, and
payment therefor shall be made by the Placement Agent (or its clearing firm) by wire transfer to the Company).
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein and a Purchaser’s Subscription Amount set forth on the signature pages attached hereto, the number
of Shares purchased by a Purchaser (and its Affiliates) hereunder shall not, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned
by such Purchaser (and its Affiliates) at such time, result in such Purchaser beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act) in excess of 9.9% of the then issued and outstanding Common Stock outstanding at the Closing (the “Beneficial
Ownership Maximum”), and such Purchaser’s Subscription Amount, to the extent it would otherwise exceed the Beneficial
Ownership Maximum immediately prior to the Closing, shall be conditioned upon the issuance of Shares at the Closing to the other Purchasers
signatory hereto. To the extent that a Purchaser’s beneficial ownership of the Shares would otherwise be deemed to exceed the Beneficial
Ownership Maximum, such Purchaser’s Subscription Amount shall automatically be reduced as necessary in order to comply with this
paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Notice(s) of Exercise (as defined in the Pre-Funded Warrants) delivered
on or prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Closing Date, which may be delivered at any time after the time of execution of
this Agreement, the Company agrees to deliver the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares subject to such notice(s) by 4:00 p.m. (New York City time)
on the Closing Date and the Closing Date shall be the Warrant Share Delivery Date (as defined in the Pre-Funded Warrants) for purposes
hereunder.

information agreement or non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant in favor of any third
party, and the continued employment of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability
with respect to any of the foregoing matters that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its
Subsidiaries are in compliance with all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to employment and employment
practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where the failure to be in compliance could not, individually

and (iii) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval, except where in each clause (i), (ii)

notice of a claim or otherwise has any knowledge that the Intellectual Property Rights violate or infringe upon the rights of any
Person, except as could not have or reasonably be expected to not have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Company,

and risks and in such amounts as are prudent in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged, including, but
not limited to, directors and officers insurance coverage of $2 million. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any reason to believe

similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business without a significant increase in cost.

required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized

notice from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance

the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements. The Common Stock is currently
eligible for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation and the Company is
current in payment of the fees to the Depository Trust Company (or such other established clearing corporation) in connection with such
electronic transfer.

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

of $50,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business), (y) all guaranties, endorsements and other
contingent obligations in respect of indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s
consolidated balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection
or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (z) the present value of any lease payments in excess of $50,000 due
under leases required to be capitalized in accordance with GAAP. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to

and all foreign income and franchise tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, subject
to permanent extensions (ii) has 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 and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for
the payment of all material 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
or of any Subsidiary know of no basis for any such claim.

capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby and any advice given by any Purchaser or
any of their respective representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby
is merely incidental to the Purchasers’ purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to each Purchaser that the Company’s
decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the
transactions contemplated hereby by the Company and its representatives.

term; (ii) past or future open market or other transactions by any Purchaser, specifically including, without limitation, Short Sales

in any “derivative” transaction. The Company further understands and acknowledges that (y) one or more Purchasers may engage
in hedging activities at various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, including, without limitation, during the
periods that the value of the Warrant Shares deliverable with respect to Securities are being determined, and (z) such hedging activities
(if any) could reduce the value of the existing stockholders’ equity interests in the Company at and after the time that the hedging
activities are being conducted. The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute a breach of any
of the Transaction Documents.

five percent (5%) or more of the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities or twenty-five percent or more of the total equity

applicable financial record-keeping and reporting requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended,
applicable money laundering statutes and applicable rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”),
and no Action or Proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company

Event”), except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3). The Company has exercised reasonable care
to determine whether any Issuer Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event. The Company has complied, to the extent applicable,
with its disclosure obligations under Rule 506(e), and has furnished to the Purchasers a copy of any disclosures provided thereunder.
(qq)
Other Covered Persons. Other than the Placement Agent, the Company is not aware of any person (other than any Issuer Covered Person)
that has been or will be paid (directly or indirectly) remuneration for solicitation of purchasers in connection with the sale of any
Securities.
(rr)
Notice of Disqualification Events. The Company will notify the Purchasers in writing, prior to the Closing Date of (i) any Disqualification

3.2
Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser, for itself and for no other Purchaser, hereby represents and
warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date therein, in which case
they shall be accurate as of such date):
(a)
Organization; Authority. Such Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing, and
in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited
liability company, or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents
and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and performance
by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate,
partnership, limited liability company, or similar action, as applicable, on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to
which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof,
will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except:
(i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general
application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific
performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies, and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be
limited by applicable law.
(b)
Understandings or Arrangements. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and has no direct
or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities (this
representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or
otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the
ordinary course of its business. Such Purchaser understands that the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are “restricted securities”
and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring such Securities as principal
for his, her or its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation
of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation
of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other
persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities
law (this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell such Securities pursuant to a registration statement
or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws).
(c)
Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, an “accredited
investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional
buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.
(d)
Experience of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication,
and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment
in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of
an investment in the Shares and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
(e)
Access to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including
all exhibits and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded, (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed
necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the
Shares and the merits and risks of investing in the Securities, (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition,
results of operations, business, properties, management, and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment, and (iii)
the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense
that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. Such Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that
neither the Placement Agent nor any Affiliate of the Placement Agent has provided such Purchaser with any information or advice with
respect to the Securities nor is such information or advice necessary or desired. Neither the Placement Agent nor any Affiliate has made
or makes any representation as to the Company or the quality of the Securities and the Placement Agent and any Affiliate may have acquired
non-public information with respect to the Company which such Purchaser agrees need not be provided to it. In connection with the issuance
of the Securities to such Purchaser, neither the Placement Agent nor any of its Affiliates has acted as a financial advisor or fiduciary
to such Purchaser.
(f)
Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has
not, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any
purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Purchaser
first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material
terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of
such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers
managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion
of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement. Other
than to other Persons party to this Agreement or to such Purchaser’s representatives, including, without limitation, its officers,
directors, partners, legal, and other advisors, employees, agents, and Affiliates, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality
of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions,
with respect to locating or borrowing shares in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.
(g)
General Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other
communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or
presented at any seminar or, to the knowledge of such Purchaser, any other general solicitation or general advertisement.
(h)
Information Regarding Purchaser. The Purchaser has provided the Company with true, complete, and correct information regarding
all applicable items set forth on the Purchaser’s signature page to this Agreement.
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in this Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend, or affect such
Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations
and warranties contained in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection
with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of
doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to locating or borrowing
shares in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.
ARTICLE
IV.
OTHER
AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1
Removal of Legends.
(a)
The Warrants and Warrant Shares may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any
transfer of Warrants or Warrant Shares other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an
Affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof
to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance
of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such
transferred Warrant under the Securities Act.
(b)
The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Warrants or Warrant Shares
in the following form:
NEITHER
THIS SECURITY NOR THE SECURITIES FOR WHICH THIS SECURITY IS EXERCISABLE HAS BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED
(THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS
OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE
OF THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered
broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Warrants or Warrant Shares to a financial institution that is an “accredited
investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser
may transfer pledged or secured Warrants or Warrant Shares to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be
subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in
connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Company
will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Warrants and Warrant Shares may reasonably request
in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Warrants or Warrant Shares.
(c)
Certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (i)
while a registration statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) following any sale
of such Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), or (iii) if such Warrant Shares are eligible
for sale under Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements
of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company shall
cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent or the Purchaser promptly if required by the Transfer Agent to effect
the removal of the legend hereunder, or if requested by a Purchaser, respectively. If all or any portion of a Warrant is exercised at
a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Warrant Shares, or if such Warrant Shares may be
sold under Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants) or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements
of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such Warrant
Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following such time as such legend is no longer required under this
Section 4.1(c), the Company will, no later than the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising
the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate
representing Warrant Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such date, the “Legend Removal Date”),
deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other
legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions
on transfer set forth in this Section 4. Warrant Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent
to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed
by such Purchaser. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in
a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of
delivery of a certificate representing Warrant Shares issued with a restrictive legend.
(d)
In addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser,
in cash, (i) as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock
on the date such Securities are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section
4.1(c), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day three (3) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each
Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend and (ii) if the Company fails to (a) issue
and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to a Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date a certificate representing the Securities so delivered
to the Company by such Purchaser that is free from all restrictive and other legends and (b) if after the Legend Removal Date such Purchaser
purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Purchaser
of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion
of the number of shares of Common Stock, that such Purchaser anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend, then
an amount equal to the excess of such Purchaser’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket
expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any)
(the “Buy-In Price”) over the product of (A) such number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver
to such Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date multiplied by (B) the lowest closing sale price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during
the period commencing on the date of the delivery by such Purchaser to the Company of the applicable Warrant Shares (as the case may
be) and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this Section 4.1(d).
(e)
The Shares, Pre-Funded Warrants, and Pre-Funded Warrant Shares shall be issued free of legends. If all or any portion of a
Pre-Funded Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the issuance or resale of the
Pre-Funded Warrant Shares or if the Pre-Funded Warrant is exercised via cashless exercise, the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares issued
pursuant to any such exercise shall be issued free of all legends. If at any time following the date hereof the Registration
Statement (or any subsequent registration statement registering the sale or resale of the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares) is not
effective or is not otherwise available for the sale or resale of the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, the Company shall immediately
notify the holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants in writing that such registration statement is not then effective and thereafter shall
promptly notify such holders when the registration statement is effective again and available for the sale or resale of the
Pre-Funded Warrant Shares (it being understood and agreed that the foregoing shall not limit the ability of the Company to issue, or
any Purchaser to sell, any of the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). The
Company shall use best efforts to keep a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) registering the issuance or
resale of the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares effective during the term of the Pre-Funded Warrants.
4.2
Furnishing of Information.
(a)
Until the earlier of the time that (i) no Purchaser owns Securities or (ii) the Warrants have expired, the Company covenants to timely
file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company
after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange
Act.
(b)
At any time during the period commencing from the six (6) month anniversary of the date hereof and ending at such time that all of the
Warrant Shares (assuming cashless exercise) may be sold without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1)
and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if the Company (i) shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current
public information requirement under Rule 144(c) or (ii) has ever been an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) or becomes an issuer
in the future, and the Company shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) (a “Public Information Failure”)
then, in addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated
damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Warrant Shares, an amount in cash
equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate Exercise Price of such Purchaser’s Warrants on the day of a Public Information Failure
and on every thirtieth (30th) day (pro-rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the earlier of (a) the date
such Public Information Failure is cured and (b) such time that such public information is no longer required for the Purchasers to transfer
the Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144. The payments to which a Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.2(b) are referred
to herein as “Public Information Failure Payments.” Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier
of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred and (ii) the third (3rd)
Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured. In the event the Company fails
to make Public Information Failure Payments in a timely manner, such
Public Information Failure Payments shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full.
Nothing herein shall limit such Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Public Information Failure, and such Purchaser
shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance
and/or injunctive relief.
4.3
Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security
(as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would
require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Warrants or Warrant Shares or that would be integrated with the
offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder
approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent
transaction.
4.4
Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall (a) by the Disclosure Time, issue a press release disclosing the material
terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) file a Current Report on Form 8-K, including the Transaction Documents as exhibits
thereto, with the Commission within the time required by the Exchange Act. From and after the issuance of such press release, the Company
represents to the Purchasers that it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to any of the Purchasers
by the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees, or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents. In addition, effective upon the issuance of such press release, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality
or similar obligations with respect to the transactions completed by the Transaction Documents under any agreement, whether written or
oral, between the Company or any of its officers, directors, agents, employees, or Affiliates on the one hand, and any of the Purchasers
or any of their Affiliates on the other hand, shall terminate. The Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or
include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written
consent of such Purchaser, except (i) as required by federal securities law in connection with the filing of final Transaction Documents
with the Commission and (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market or Financial Industry Regulatory Authority,
Inc. regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause
(ii).
4.5
Non-Public Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents, which shall be disclosed pursuant to Section 4.4, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting
on its behalf will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes, or the Company reasonably believes
constitutes, material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have consented in writing to the receipt of such
information and agreed in writing with the Company to keep such information confidential. The Company understands and confirms that each
Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. To the extent that the Company,
any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates delivers any material, non-public
information to a Purchaser without such Purchaser’s consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that such Purchaser shall
not have any duty of confidentiality to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees,
Affiliates or agents, including, without limitation, the Placement Agent, or a duty to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of
their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or agents, including, without limitation, the Placement Agent, not to trade
on the basis of, such material, non-public information, provided that the Purchaser shall remain subject to applicable law. To the extent
that any notice provided pursuant to any Transaction Document constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the
Company or any Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously with the delivery of such notice file such notice with the Commission pursuant
to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant
in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
4.6
Reservation of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep
available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company
to issue Shares pursuant to this Agreement and Warrant Shares and Pre-Funded Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Warrants
and Pre-Funded Warrants.
4.7
Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that
neither it nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including
Short Sales of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at
such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as
described in Section 4.3. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time
as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press release as described
in Section 4.3, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction (other than as
disclosed to its legal and other representatives).
4.8
Use of Proceeds. Except as set forth in the Prospectus Supplement, the Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the
Securities hereunder for working capital purposes and shall not use such proceeds: (a) for the satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s
debt (other than payment of trade payables in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and prior practices), or the debt of
any officer, director, or executive management of the Company, or any sponsor, general partner, manager, or advisor or any of the Company’s
affiliates, (b) for the redemption of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, (c) for the settlement of any outstanding litigation
or (d) in violation of FCPA or OFAC regulation.
4.9

Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally
equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such
Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders,
agents, members, partners, or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding
a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any
and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs, and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid
in settlements, court costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer
or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements made by the
Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents, or (b) any action instituted against the Purchaser Parties in any capacity,
or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any shareholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party, with
respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is solely based upon a material breach
of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties, or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings
such Purchaser Party may have with any such shareholder or any violations by such Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws
or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which is finally judicially determined to constitute fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct,
or malfeasance), the Company will indemnify each Purchaser Party, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against
any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses,
as incurred, arising out of or relating to (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration
statement, any prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising
out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein (in the case of any prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading,
except to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such
Purchaser Party furnished in writing to the Company by such Purchaser Party expressly for use therein, or (ii) any violation or alleged
violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder in
connection therewith. If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant
to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume
the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the
right to employ one separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (x) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized
by the Company in writing, (y) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel,
or (z) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position
of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses
of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (1) for any settlement
by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed;
or (2) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage, or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s
breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other
Transaction Documents. The indemnification required by this Section 4.7 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 are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained
herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities
the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.
4.10
Listing of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use reasonable best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the
Common Stock on the Trading Market on which it is currently listed, and prior to the Closing, the Company shall have applied to list
or quote all of the Shares on such Trading Market. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded
on any other Trading Market, it will then include in such application all of the Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary
to cause all of the Shares to be listed or quoted on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The Company will then take all
action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects
with the Company’s reporting, filing, and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market. The Company agrees
to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing
corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing
corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.
4.11
Equal Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of this Agreement) 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 is also offered
to all of the parties to this Agreement. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser
by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall
not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition, or voting of
Securities or otherwise.
4.12
Subsequent Equity Sales.
(a)
From the date hereof until 90 days after the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall (i) issue, enter into any agreement
to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or (ii) file any registration
statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, other than the Prospectus Supplement or as contemplated pursuant to Section 4.17 herein
or filing a registration statement on Form S-8 in connection with any employee benefit plan.
(b)
From the date hereof until 180 days after the Closing Date, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement
to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or a combination of units
thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company (i)
issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive
additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon
and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such
debt or equity securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after
the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly
related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock or (ii) enters into, or effects a transaction under, any agreement,
including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit or an “at-the-market offering”, whereby the Company may issue securities
at a future determined price regardless of whether shares pursuant to such agreement have actually been issued and regardless of whether
such agreement is subsequently canceled. Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude
any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages; provided, however, that this Section
4.12(b) shall not be applicable to the offer, sale, and issuance of shares of common stock in connection with that certain At the
Market Offering Agreement dated as of September 30, 2022, by and between the Company and H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC from the period
ninety (90) days after the Closing Date and thereafter
(c)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.12 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction
shall be an Exempt Issuance.
4.13
Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that
neither it nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including
Short Sales of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at
such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as
described in Section 4.3. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time
as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press release as described
in Section 4.3, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information
included in the Disclosure Schedules. Notwithstanding the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary,
the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty, or covenant hereby that it will
not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.3, (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted
or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from and
after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release
as described in Section 4.3, and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality or duty not to trade in the securities
of the Company to the Company after the issuance of the initial press release as described in Section 4.3. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi- managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate
portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the
portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect
to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this
Agreement.
4.14
Capital Changes. Until the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company shall not undertake a reverse or forward stock
split or reclassification of the Common Stock without the prior written consent of the Purchasers holding a majority in interest of the
Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants other than a reverse stock split that is required, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors,
to maintain the listing of the Common Stock on the Trading Market.
4.15
Exercise Procedures. The form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants
set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to exercise the Warrants and Pre- Funded Warrants. No additional
legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchasers to exercise their Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants.
Without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or
other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required in order to exercise the Warrants and Pre-Funded
Warrants. The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants and shall deliver Warrant Shares and Pre- Funded
Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.
4.16
Form D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Warrant and Warrant Shares as required
under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of any Purchaser. The Company shall take such action as the Company
shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Warrant and Warrant Shares for, sale to
the Purchasers at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall
provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any Purchaser.
4.17
Registration Statement. As soon as practicable (and in any event within 45 calendar days of the date of this Agreement), the Company
shall file registration statement on Form S-3 (or other appropriate form if the Company
is not then S-3 eligible) providing for the resale by the Purchasers of the Warrant Shares issued and issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.
The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file the registration statement on Form S-3 within 180 days following the Closing
Date and to keep such registration statement effective at all times until no Purchaser owns any Warrants or Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise thereof.
4.18
Lock-Up. The Company shall not amend, modify, waive, or terminate any provision of any of the Lock- Up Agreements except to extend
the term of the lock-up period and shall enforce the provisions of each Lock-Up Agreement in accordance with its terms. If any officer
or director of the Company that is a party to a Lock-Up Agreement breaches any provision of a Lock-Up Agreement, the Company shall promptly
use its commercially reasonable best efforts to seek specific performance of the terms of such Lock-Up Agreement.

MISCELLANEOUS
5.1
Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder only and without
any effect whatsoever on the obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other parties, if the
Closing has not been consummated on or before the fifth (5th) Trading Day following the date hereof; provided, however,
that no such termination will affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by any other party (or parties).
5.2
Fees and Expenses. Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and
expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants, and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to
the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees (including,
without limitation, any fees required for same- day processing of any instruction letter delivered by the Company), stamp taxes, and
other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Securities to the Purchasers.
5.3
Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, the Prospectus and the Prospectus
Supplement, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior
agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such
documents, exhibits, and schedules.
5.4
Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of: (a) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is
delivered via email attachment at the email address as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto at or prior to 5:30 p.m. (New
York City time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered
via email attachment at the email address as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto on a day that is not a Trading Day or later
than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (c) the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S.
nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.
The address for such notices and communications shall be as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto.
5.5
Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented, or amended except in a written instrument
signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and Purchasers which purchased at least 50.1% in interest of the Shares based on
the initial Subscription Amounts hereunder (or, prior to the Closing, the Company and each Purchaser) or, in the case of a waiver, by
the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought, provided that if any amendment, modification, or waiver
disproportionately and adversely impacts a Purchaser (or group of Purchasers), the consent of such disproportionately impacted Purchaser
(or group of Purchasers) shall also be required. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition, or requirement of
this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other
provision, condition, or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner
impair the exercise of any such right. Any proposed amendment or waiver that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the
rights and obligations of any Purchaser relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Purchasers shall require the prior
written consent of such adversely affected Purchaser. Any amendment effected in accordance with this Section 5.5 shall be binding
upon each Purchaser and holder of Securities and the Company.
5.6
Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to
limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
5.7
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and
permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent
of each Purchaser (other than by merger). Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom
such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities, provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect
to the transferred Securities, by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchasers.”
5.8
No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Placement Agent shall be the third party beneficiary of the representations and warranties of
the Company in Section 3.1 and the representations and warranties of the Purchasers in Section 3.2. This Agreement is intended
for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any
provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 5.8.
5.9
Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the law of the State of New York,
without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal Proceedings concerning the interpretations,
enforcement, and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against
a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees, or agents) shall be commenced
exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the courts of the State of New York and of the United States of America sitting in the City and County of New York, for the adjudication
of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect
to the enforcement of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in
any Action or Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such Action or Proceeding
is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents
to process being served in any such Action or Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery
(with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service
shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any
way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If any party shall commence an Action or Proceeding to enforce any
provisions of the Transaction Documents, then the prevailing party in such Action or Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing
party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation, and prosecution
of such Action or Proceeding.
5.10
Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.
5.11
Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one
and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party,
it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by e-mail delivery
of a “.pdf” format data file, or by electronic signature (including DocuSign), such signature shall create a valid and binding
obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such “.pdf”
or electronic signature page were an original thereof.
5.12
Severability. If any term, provision, covenant, or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be invalid, illegal, void, or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants, and restrictions set forth herein
shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired, or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their
commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that
contemplated by such term, provision, covenant, or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties
that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants, and restrictions without including any of such that may be
hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void, or unenforceable.
5.13
Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions
of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand, or option under a Transaction
Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may
rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand, or election
in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.
5.14
Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed,
the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation),
or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to
the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also
pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
5.15
Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages,
each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that
monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction
Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that
a remedy at law would be adequate.
5.16
Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document
or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise
or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by,
or are required to be refunded, repaid, or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver, or any other Person under any law
(including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law, or equitable cause of action), then to the extent
of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force
and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
5.17
Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document
are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance
or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other
Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as
a partnership, an association, a joint venture, or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way
acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each
Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights including, without limitation, the rights arising out of
this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional
party in any Proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation
of the Transaction Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience only, each Purchaser and its respective counsel have chosen to
communicate with the Company through the legal counsel of the Placement Agent. The legal counsel of the Placement Agent does not represent
any of the Purchasers and only represents the Placement Agent. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms
and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers.
It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between
the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.
5.18
Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation
of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid amounts due and owing have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument
or security pursuant to which such amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.
5.19
Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required
or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business
Day.
5.20
Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise
the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against
the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each
and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse
and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the
date of this Agreement.
5.20
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY,
THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY,
IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.
