If the Closing does not occur by the Outside Date (as defined below) and any Purchaser shall have paid to the Company the amount set forth opposite its name on Exhibit A hereto under the heading “Subscription Amount,” then the Company shall promptly (but not later than one (1) Business Day thereafter) return to each Purchaser the amount set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Exhibit A hereto under the heading “Subscription Amount” and any book entries for the Shares shall be deemed repurchased and cancelled.


(c) Closing Date. The Closing will take place as soon as reasonably practicable after the December 14, 2023 but no later than December 21, 2023 (the “Outside Date”) (the date on which the Closing actually occurs, the “Closing Date”) and the Closing will be held remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures, or at such other place as agreed upon by the Company and the Purchasers.

ARTICLE 2

PURCHASER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company, severally and not jointly, with respect to itself and its purchase hereunder, that as of the Closing:

2.1 Investment Purpose. The Purchaser is purchasing the Shares for its own account and not with a present view, toward the public sale or distribution thereof and has no intention of selling or distributing any of such Shares or any arrangement or understanding with any other Persons regarding the sale or distribution of such Shares except as would not result in a violation of the Securities Act. The Purchaser will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) any of the Shares except pursuant to and in accordance with the Securities Act.

2.2 Information. The Purchaser has been furnished with all relevant materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company necessary to make an investment decision, and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Shares, that have been requested by the Purchaser, including, without limitation, the SEC Documents, and the Purchaser has had the opportunity to review the SEC Documents. The Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Purchaser or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the SEC Documents and the Company’s representations and warranties contained in the Agreement. The Purchaser also specifically acknowledges that the Company would not enter into this Agreement or any related documents in the absence of such Purchaser’s representations and acknowledgments set out in this Agreement, and that this Agreement, including such representations and acknowledgments, are a fundamental inducement to the Company, and a substantial portion of the consideration provided by such Purchaser, in this transaction, and that the Company would not enter into this transaction but for this inducement.

2.3 Acknowledgement of Risk.

(a) The Purchaser acknowledges and understands that its investment in the Shares involves a significant degree of risk, including, without limitation, (i) the Purchaser may not be able to liquidate its investment; (ii) transferability of the Shares is extremely limited; (iii) in the event of a disposition of the Shares, the Purchaser could sustain the loss of its entire investment and (iv) such risks as more fully set forth in the SEC Documents;

(b) The Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of holding the Shares for an indefinite period, and has knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that it is capable of evaluating the risks of the investment in the Shares; and

(c) The Purchaser has, in connection with the Purchaser’s decision to purchase the Shares, not relied upon any representations or other information (whether oral or written) other than as set forth in the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein and the information disclosed in the SEC Documents, and the Purchaser has, with respect to all matters relating to this Agreement and the offer and sale of the Shares, relied solely upon the advice of such Purchaser’s own counsel and has not relied upon or consulted any counsel to the Placement Agents or counsel to the Company.

2.4 Governmental Review. The Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares or an investment therein.


2.5 Transfer or Resale. The Purchaser understands that:

(a) the offer and sale of the Shares has not been and is not being registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws and, consequently, the Purchaser may have to bear the risk of owning the Shares for an indefinite period of time because the Shares may not be transferred unless (i) the resale of the Shares is registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; or (ii) the Shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or another available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act;

(b) any sale of the Shares made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Shares under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person through whom the sale is made) is deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and

(c) neither the Company nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the resale of the Shares under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.

2.6 Legends.

(a) The Purchaser understands the book entries representing the Shares will bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form, in addition to any other legend required by applicable state securities laws or as may be appropriate to legend any restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the book entries for such Shares):

THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES. THE SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SHARES UNDER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS, OR UNLESS OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR TRANSFERRED PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THOSE LAWS.

(b) To the extent the resale of any issued Shares is registered under the Securities Act pursuant to an effective Registration Statement, the Company agrees to promptly (i) authorize the removal of the legend set forth in Section 2.6(a) and any other legend not required by applicable law from such Shares, (ii) cause its Transfer Agent to issue such Shares without such legends to the holders thereof by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at the Depository Trust Company and (iii) if required by the Company’s Transfer Agent or requested by a Purchaser, cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to effect the removal of any restrictive legends. The Company’s obligation to remove legends under this Section 2.6(b) may be conditioned upon the Purchaser providing such customary representations and documentation as the Company or its legal counsel deems reasonably necessary in connection with the removal of restrictive legends (the “Representation Letter”), provided that the Company agrees to notify the Purchaser of any such necessary representations or documentation as soon as reasonably practicable (which shall generally be within one Business Day following a request by a Purchaser). With respect to any Shares for which restrictive legends are removed pursuant to this Section 2.6(b), the holder thereof agrees to only sell such Shares when and as permitted by the effective Registration Statement covering such resale and in accordance with applicable securities laws and regulations, or in accordance with Rule 144 or another available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Prior to the Company and its Transfer Agent agreeing to the form of the Representation Letter, the Company shall allow the Purchasers to review and comment on such form. In no event shall a Purchaser be required, in the Representation Letter or otherwise, to represent, warrant, agree, acknowledge, or covenant for the Shares to be re-legended.

(c) The Purchaser may request that the Company remove, and the Company agrees to authorize the removal of any legend from any Shares issued to such Purchaser (i) following any sale, or certification by a Purchaser of the expected sale, of such Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) if such Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 following the expiration of the six-month holding requirement under subparagraphs (b)(1)(i) and (d) thereof and the in each case following receipt from the Purchaser of an appropriate certification to such effect. Following the time a legend is no longer required for the Shares under this Section 2.6(c), the Company will, no later than two Trading


Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s Transfer Agent of the appropriate certifications that the applicable requirements have been satisfied deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate or evidence of book entry representing such Shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends or, if requested by Purchaser, by crediting such Shares to the account of the Purchaser or its designee with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system (“DWAC Delivery”). The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its Transfer Agent and all DTC fees associated with such issuance.

2.7 Authorization; Enforcement. The signature of the Purchaser on this Agreement is genuine and the signatory to this Agreement and has the legal competence and capacity to execute the same. Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, this Agreement shall constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy or similar laws affecting creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity and except as rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by state or federal securities laws or public policy underlying such laws.

2.8 Residency. Unless the Purchaser has otherwise notified the Company in writing, the Purchaser is a resident of the jurisdiction set forth immediately below such Purchaser’s name on the signature pages hereto.

2.9 Accredited Investor Status. Such Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.

2.10 Beneficial Ownership. Each Purchaser represents that the purchase by such Purchaser of the Shares will not result in such Purchaser (individually or together with any other person with whom such Purchaser has identified, or will have identified, itself as part of a “group” in a public filing made with the SEC involving the Company’s securities) acquiring, or obtaining the right to acquire, in excess of 19.999% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the voting power of the Company on a post-transaction basis that assumes that the Closing shall have occurred. Each Purchaser does not presently intend to, alone or together with others, make a public filing with the SEC to disclose that it has (or that it together with such other persons have) acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, as a result of the Closing (when added to any other securities of the Company that it or they then own or have the right to acquire), in excess of 19.999% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the voting power of the Company on a post-transaction basis that assumes that the Closing shall have occurred.

ARTICLE 3

COVENANTS

3.1 Expenses. The Company and each Purchaser shall be liable for, and will pay, its own expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, including, without limitation, attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and expenses.

3.2 Sales by Purchasers; Purchases Prior to the Closing. Each Purchaser will sell any Shares held by it in compliance with applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any, or otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. No Purchaser will make any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Shares in violation of federal or state securities laws.

To the extent that the Company has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise) from the jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process with respect to itself or its property, the Company irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, such immunity in respect of any suit, action or proceeding.

6.12 Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and not alternative.

6.13 Equitable Relief. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s failure to perform or discharge any of its obligations under this Agreement will result in irreparable damage to the Purchasers and that monetary damages, even if available, would provide inadequate relief to the Purchasers. The Company therefore agrees that the Purchasers are entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief, including specific performance, in any such case and waives any requirement for the posting of a bond. Each Purchaser also acknowledges and agrees that its failure to perform or discharge any of its obligations under this Agreement will result in irreparable damage to the Company and that monetary damages, even if available, would provide inadequate relief to the Company.

6.14 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto, 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 (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), or are deemed affiliates with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, each of the Purchasers has been advised, and is being advised by this Agreement, to consult with an attorney before executing this Agreement, and each Purchaser has consulted (or had an opportunity to consult) with counsel of such Purchaser’s choice concerning the terms and conditions of this Agreement for a reasonable period of time prior to the execution hereof and thereof.

6.15 No Waiver of Rights. All waivers hereunder must be made in writing and executed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought, and the failure of any party at any time to require another party’s performance of any obligation under this Agreement shall not affect the right subsequently to require performance of that obligation. Any waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any continuing or succeeding breach of such provision or a waiver or modification of any other provision.

6.16 Waiver of Conflicts. Each Purchaser acknowledges that Greenberg Traurig, P.A., outside general counsel to the Company, may have in the past performed and may now or in the future represent one or more Purchasers or their affiliates in matters unrelated to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Financing”), including representation of such Purchasers or their affiliates in matters of a similar nature to the Financing. The applicable rules of professional conduct require that Greenberg Traurig, P.A inform the Purchasers hereunder of this representation and obtain their consent.

acknowledges that they have had an opportunity to ask for and have obtained information relevant to such representation, including disclosure of the reasonably foreseeable adverse consequences of such representation; (b) acknowledges that with respect to the Financing, Greenberg Traurig, P.A has represented solely the Company, and not any Purchaser or any stockholder, director or employee of the Company or any Purchaser; and (c) gives its informed consent to Greenberg Traurig, P.A representation of the Company in the Financing.

6.17 Payments. All payments made by or on behalf of the Company or any of their affiliates to any Purchaser or its assigns, successors or designees pursuant to this Agreement shall be without withholding, set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.
