The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable best efforts 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.

4.7            Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it nor any of its Affiliates acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases, sales or effect any other transactions, 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 the Subscription Documents are first publicly announced pursuant to the filing of the Announcement 8-K as described above. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Documents are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the filing of the Announcement 8-K, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in the Subscription Documents.

4.8            Form D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Shares and the Warrants 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 Shares and the Warrants 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.

4.9            Subsequent Equity Sales.

(a)            From the date hereof until December 31, 2024, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary (other than to the Company) shall 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 file any registration statement or amendment or supplement thereto, other than (i) the Prospectus Supplement or any other amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement in connection with the Offering, (ii) a registration statement on Form S-8, (iii) a registration statement covering the Common Stock underlying the Underwriter Warrants or (iv) a registration statement covering the clirSPV Shares.

(b)            From the date hereof until December 31, 2024, 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, 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 Underwriter shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.

(c)             Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.9 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction shall be an Exempt Issuance.

(d)            The Company has caused to be delivered to the Placement Agent prior to the date of this Agreement a letter, in the form of Exhibit B hereto (the “Lock-up Agreement”), from each of the Company’s directors and executive officers as well as any shareholders deemed to be affiliates through their ownership of the Company’s Common Stock. The Company will enforce the terms of each Lock-up Agreement and issue stop-transfer instructions to the transfer agent for the Common Stock with respect to any transaction or contemplated transaction that would constitute a breach of or default under the applicable Lock-up Agreement.

4.10          Stabilization. Neither the Company nor, to its knowledge, any of its employees, directors or shareholders (without the consent of the Placement Agent), has taken or shall take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that has constituted or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, under Regulation M of the Exchange Act, or otherwise, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares or the Warrants.

ARTICLE V
REGISTRATION RIGHTS

5.1            Registration Procedures and Expenses; Liquidated Damages for Certain Events.

(a)            The Company shall prepare and file with the Commission, as promptly as reasonably practicable following Closing, but in no event later than 30 days following the date hereof (the “Initial Filing Date”), a registration statement on Form S-1 covering the resale of the Registrable Securities (as defined below) (the “Registration Statement”) and use its commercially reasonable efforts, subject to receipt of all necessary information from the Purchasers, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter but in no event later than 45 days following the date hereof (90 days in the event of a review of the Registration Statement by the Commission), to effect such registration and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all Registrable Securities held by the Purchasers. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Registrable Securities” shall mean (i) the Shares; (ii) the Warrant Shares and (iii) any securities issued or then issuable upon any stock split, dividend or other distribution, recapitalization or similar event with respect to the foregoing; provided, however, that any such Registrable Securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities (and the Company shall not be required to maintain the effectiveness of any, or file another, Registration Statement hereunder with respect thereto) for so long as (a) a Registration Statement with respect to the sale of such Registrable Securities is declared effective by the Commission under the Securities Act and such Registrable Securities have been disposed of by the Purchaser in accordance with such effective Registration Statement, (b) such Registrable Securities have been previously sold in accordance with Rule 144, or (c) such securities become eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and without current public information pursuant to Rule 144 as set forth in a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed, delivered and acceptable to the Transfer Agent and the affected Purchasers (assuming that such securities and any securities issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange of which, or as a dividend upon which, such securities were issued or are issuable, were at no time held by any Affiliate of the Company), as reasonably determined by the Company, upon the advice of counsel to the Company.

(b)            The Company shall, during the Effectiveness Period (as defined below), use commercially reasonable efforts to:

(i)            prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith (the “Prospectus”) as may be necessary or advisable to keep the Registration Statement current and effective for the resale of the Registrable Securities held by a Purchaser for a period ending on the earlier of (i) the second anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) the date on which all Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 during any three-month period without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) or (iii) such time as all Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to a registration statement or Rule 144 (collectively, the “Effectiveness Period”);

(ii)            furnish to each Purchaser with respect to the Registrable Securities registered under the Registration Statement such number of copies of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (including supplemental prospectuses) filed with the Commission in conformance with the requirements of the Securities Act and other such documents as such Purchaser may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the Registrable Securities by such Purchaser;

(iii)            make any necessary blue sky filings;

(iv)            pay the expenses incurred by the Company and the Purchasers in complying with Article V, including, all registration and filing fees, FINRA fees, exchange listing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, blue sky fees and expenses and the expense of any special audits incident to or required by any such registration (but excluding attorneys’ fees of any Purchaser and any and all underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities by the Purchasers);

(v)            advise the Purchasers, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge of the issuance of any stop order by the Commission delaying or suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of the initiation of any proceeding for that purpose; and it will promptly use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal at the earliest possible moment if such stop order should be issued; and

(vi)            with a view to making available to the Purchaser the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit the Purchasers to sell Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company covenants and agrees to: (i) make and keep public information available, as such term is understood and defined in Rule 144, until the earlier of (A) such date as all of the Registrable Securities qualify to be resold immediately pursuant to Rule 144 or any other rule of similar effect during any three-month period without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) or (B) such date as all of the Registrable Securities shall have been resold pursuant to Rule 144 (and may be further resold without restriction); (ii) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and under the Exchange Act; and (iii) furnish to any Purchaser upon request, as long as such Purchaser owns any Registrable Securities, (A) a written statement by the Company as to whether it has complied with the reporting requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (B) a copy of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and (C) such other information as may be reasonably requested in order to avail the Purchaser of any rule or regulation of the Commission that permits the selling of any such Registrable Securities without registration.

The Company understands that the Purchasers disclaim being an underwriter, but acknowledges that a determination by the Commission that a Purchaser is deemed an underwriter shall not relieve the Company of any obligations it has hereunder. The Company will not name any Purchaser as an underwriter in a Registration Statement or Prospectus.

(c)            If (i) the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Initial Filing Date, or (ii) the Company fails to file with the Commission a request for acceleration of the Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 461 under the Securities Act, within five Trading Days after the date the Company is first notified (orally or in writing) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review or comment, or (iii) prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Company fails to file a pre-effective amendment and otherwise respond in writing to comments made by the Commission in respect of such Registration Statement within 21 days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the Commission that such amendment or resolution of such comments is required in order for such Registration Statement to be declared effective, or (iv) there occurs the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose or (v) at any time during the period commencing from the six-month anniversary of the date hereof and ending at such time that all of the Registrable Securities may be resold during any three-month period without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1), the Company shall fail to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) (any of the foregoing being referred to as an “Event”, and for purposes of clauses (i) and (v), the date on which such Event occurs, and for purpose of clause (ii) the date on which such five Trading Day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (iii) the date which such 21-day period is exceeded, being the “Event Date”), then except during any period of time during which the Registrable Securities may be resold pursuant to Rule 144 without volume limitations, in addition to any other rights the Purchasers may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Purchaser an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of 1.0% multiplied by the purchase price paid by such Purchaser with respect to the Registrable Securities affected by such Event and held by such Purchaser on such Event Date or monthly anniversary thereof, up to a maximum of 5.0% of the purchase price for such Registrable Securities provided that such maximum shall not apply if the applicable Event is the Event described in clause (v). If the Company fails to pay any liquidated damages pursuant to this Section 5.1(c) in full within seven days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 12% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Purchasers, accruing daily from the date such liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event.

Any amendment effected in accordance with this Section 6.5 shall be binding upon each Purchaser and holder of Shares or Warrants and the Company.

6.6            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.

6.7            Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.

Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Subscription 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.

6.11            Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

6.12            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.
