Article III. Investor’s Advances

(a)

Purchase Notice. At any time during the Commitment Period, provided that there is an outstanding balance under a Pre-Paid Advance, the Investor may, by providing written notice to the Company in the form set forth herein as Exhibit A attached hereto (a “Purchase Notice”) require the Company to issue and sell Shares to the Investor, in accordance with the following provisions:

(i)

The Investor shall, in each Purchase Notice, select the amount of the Advance, in its sole discretion, and the timing of delivery; provided that the amount of the Advance shall not exceed the balance owed under all Pre-Paid Advances outstanding on the date of delivery of the Purchase Notice, or result in the Investor exceeding the Advance Limitations set forth in Section 3.01(b).

(ii)

Each Purchase Notice shall be delivered in accordance with the instructions set forth at the bottom of Exhibit A.

(iii)

Each Purchase Notice shall set forth the amount of the Advance requested, the number of Shares to be issued by the Company and purchased by the Investor, the Market Price, the Purchase Price (along with a report by Bloomberg, L.P. indicating the relevant VWAP used in calculating the Purchase Price), the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid interest of the Pre-Paid Advance (if any) as of the Purchase Notice Date that shall be offset by the issuance of Shares, the aggregate amount of principal of the Pre-Paid Advance as of the Purchase Notice Date that shall be offset by the issuance of Shares, and the total amount of the Pre-Paid Advance that shall be outstanding following the Closing of the Advance.

(b)

Advance Limitations.

(i)

Ownership Limitation; Commitment Amount. In no event shall the number of Common Shares issuable to the Investor pursuant to an Advance cause the aggregate number of Common Shares beneficially owned (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder) by the Investor and its affiliates (on an aggregated basis) to exceed 4.99% of the then outstanding voting power or number of Common Shares (the “Ownership Limitation”). Upon the written request of the Investor, the Company shall promptly (but no later than the next business day on which the transfer agent for the Common Shares is open for business) confirm orally or in writing to the Investor the number of Common Shares then outstanding and upon the written request of the Company, the Investor will inform the Company of the amount of shares the Investor and its affiliates currently beneficially own.

(ii)

Exchange Limitation. In no event shall an Advance cause the number of Shares to exceed the Exchange Cap, to the extent applicable.

(iii)

Limitation on Advance Amount. With respect to Advances using the Market Price, the amount of Advances that the Investor may request as of any time following the Pre-Advance Date of a Pre-Paid Advance shall be subject to the cumulative amount of a Pre-Paid Advance prior to the number of days elapsed following the applicable Pre-Advance Date as set forth below, unless otherwise agreed by the Company.

Number of Days Following the Pre-Advance Date of a Pre-Paid Advance	Cumulative Amount of Pre-Paid Advance
0-27	0
28-34	1/7 of Initial Pre-Paid Advance Amount
35-41	2/7 of Initial Pre-Paid Advance Amount
42-48	3/7 of Initial Pre-Paid Advance Amount
49-55	4/7 of Initial Pre-Paid Advance Amount
56-62	5/7 of Initial Pre-Paid Advance Amount
63-69	6/7 of Initial Pre-Paid Advance Amount
70 or more	7/7 of Initial Pre-Paid Advance Amount

For example, if the initial amount of a Pre-Paid Advance was $5 million, then prior to the 28^th day following the Pre-Advance Date, the Investor shall not be permitted to request Advances of any portion of the Pre-Paid Advance using the Market Price. Beginning on the 28th day following the Pre-Advance Date and ending on the 34^th day following the Pre-Advance Date (both date inclusive), the Investor shall not be permitted to request Advances exceeding $714,286 of the Pre-Paid Advance (being 1/7 of $5 million) using the Market Price.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the limitation set forth in this Section 3.01(b)(iii) shall not apply (i) at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, or (ii) with respect to any Advances in which the Purchase Price is based on the Fixed Price.

Furthermore, the cumulative amount of Pre-Paid Advances that the Investor may otherwise be permitted to elect herein shall be reduced by the principal amount of any Optional Repayments that are made by the Company in accordance with Section 2.03(c). For example, if the Company made an Optional Repayment of a principal amount of $714,286 on or before the 28^th day following the Pre-Advance Date of the hypothetical $5 million Pre-Paid Advance described above, then the cumulative amount of such Pre-Paid Advance that the Investor may request an Advance utilizing the Market Price shall be reduced by $714,286, and as a result, the Investor would not be allowed to request any Advance at the Market Price until the 35^th day following the Pre-Advance Date, at which time it would be able to request Advances for up to $714,286 (1,428,571 minus the Optional Redemption of $714,286).

(c)

Company’s Obligations to Deliver Common Shares to Investor. On or before the third (3^rd) Business Day following the date of receipt of a Purchase Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall (X) if legends are not required to be placed on certificates of Common Stock and provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company's (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Investor shall be entitled to the Investor's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Purchase Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Investor or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Investor shall be entitled which certificates shall not bear any restrictive legends unless required pursuant to rules and regulations of the Commission. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder shall be treated for all purposes as the record Investor or holders of such shares of Common Stock upon the transmission of a Purchase Notice.

(d)

Company's Failure to Timely Delivery Shares. If within three (3) Trading Days after the Company's receipt of a copy of a Purchase Notice the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Investor or credit the Investor's balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Investor is entitled pursuant to such Purchase Notice (a “Delivery Failure”), and if on or after such date the Investor purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of any sale made by the Investor in reliance on the Purchase Notice and the timely delivery of Shares thereunder (such purchase, a “Buy-In”, provided that the number of shares purchased shall not exceed the number of shares specified in the applicable Purchase Notice), then the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Investor's request and in the Investor's discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Investor in an amount equal to the Investor's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company's obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Investor a certificate or certificates representing such Common Stock and pay cash to the Investor in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Nasdaq Official Closing Price on the Purchase Notice Date.

(e)

Book-Entry. The Investor and the Company shall maintain records showing the outstanding balance of the Pre-Paid Advances (as well as the number of shares issued pursuant to Purchase Notices).

(f)

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Company and the Investor acknowledge and agree that upon the Investor’s delivery of a valid Purchase Notice the parties shall be deemed to have entered into an unconditional contract binding on both parties for the purchase and sale of Shares pursuant to such Purchase Notice in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (i) subject to Applicable Laws and (ii) subject to Section 4.09 (Trading Activities), the Investor may sell such Shares.

Section 3.02 Closings. The closing of each Advance and each sale and purchase of Advance Shares (each, a “Closing”) shall take place as soon as practicable on or after each Purchase Notice Date in accordance with the procedures set forth below:

(a)

Promptly after receipt of a Purchase Notice with respect to each Advance (and, in any event, not later than one Trading Day after such receipt), the Company will, or will cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer such number of Shares to be purchased by the Investor (as set forth in the Purchase Notice) by crediting the Investor’s account or its designee’s account at The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian System or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto, and transmit notification to the Investor that such share transfer has been requested. Promptly upon receipt of such notification, the Investor shall pay to the Company the aggregate purchase price of the Shares (as set forth in the Purchase Notice) by offsetting the amount of the aggregate purchase price of the Shares to be paid by Investor against an equal amount outstanding under a Pre-Paid Advance (first towards accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and then towards outstanding principal as shown in such Purchase Notice). No fractional shares shall be issued, and any fractional amounts shall be rounded to the next higher whole number of shares. To facilitate the transfer of the Common Shares by the Investor, the Common Shares will not bear any restrictive legends so long as there is an effective Registration Statement covering such Common Shares (it being understood and agreed by the Investor that notwithstanding the lack of restrictive legends, the Investor may only sell such Common Shares in compliance with the requirements of the Securities Act (including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements) or pursuant to an available exemption).

(b)

In connection with each Closing, each of the Company and the Investor shall deliver to the other all documents, instruments and writings expressly required to be delivered by either of them pursuant to this Agreement in order to implement and effect the transactions contemplated herein.

Section 3.03 Hardship.

(a)

In the event the Investor sells Common Shares of the Company after delivery of a Purchase Notice and the Company fails to perform its obligations as mandated in Section 3.01(c), the Company agrees that in addition to and in no way limiting the rights and obligations set forth in Article VI hereto and in addition to any other remedy to which the Investor is entitled at law or in equity, including, without limitation, specific performance, it will hold the Investor harmless against any loss, claim, damage, or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), as incurred, arising out of or in connection with such default by the Company and acknowledges that irreparable damage may occur in the event of any such default. It is accordingly agreed that the Investor shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent such breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce (subject to the Securities Act and other rules of the Principal Market), without the posting of a bond or other security, the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

Promptly after receipt by an Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee, as applicable, shall, if a claim for an Indemnified Liability in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Article VI, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof; but the failure to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it of liability under this Article VI except to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such failure. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the actual and reasonable third party fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for such Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee reasonably apprised as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The indemnification required by this Article VI shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received and payment therefor is due.

Section 6.04 Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Article VI are not exclusive and shall not limit any right or remedy which may be available to any indemnified person at law or equity. The obligations of the parties to indemnify or make contribution under this Article VI shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement for a period of three years. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under this Agreement or Applicable Laws, no party shall be entitled to any indemnification pursuant to this Article VI (other than claims for any damages resulting from fraud) until the aggregate amount of all such damages that would otherwise be indemnifiable to such party equals or exceeds $25,000 (the “Basket”), at which time such party shall be entitled to indemnification for the full amount of all damages (including all damages incurred prior to exceeding the Basket).

Section 6.05 Limitation of liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party shall be entitled to recover from the other party for punitive, indirect, incidental or consequential damages.

The Initial Registration Statement was declared effective on April 29, 2021 and remains in effect on the date hereof. Except where the context otherwise requires, the Initial Registration Statement, as amended when it became effective, including all documents filed as part thereof or incorporated by reference therein, and including any information contained in a Prospectus subsequently filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act or deemed to be a part of the Initial Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430B of the Securities Act, is herein called the “Registration Statement.”

(d)

Filing Procedures. Not less than one business day prior to the filing of a Registration Statement and not less than one business day prior to the filing of any related amendments and supplements to any Registration Statement (except for any amendments or supplements caused by the filing of any annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and any similar or successor reports), the Company shall furnish to the Investor copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other than those filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act) will be subject to the reasonable and prompt review of the Investor (in each of which cases, if such document contains material non-public information as consented to by the Investor pursuant to Section 7.18, the information provided to Investor will be kept strictly confidential until filed and treated as subject to Section 7.07). The Investor shall furnish comments on a Registration Statement and any related amendment and supplement to a Registration Statement to the Company within 24 hours of the receipt thereof.
