Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Purchase Agreement
On
February 15, 2024, Richtech Robotics Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Standby Equity
Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with YA II PN, Ltd. (the “Investor”), pursuant to
which the Investor has agreed to purchase up to $50 million of the Company’s shares of Class B common stock, par value of $0.0001
per share (the “Common Stock”) over the course of 24 months after the date of the Purchase Agreement. The price of
shares to be issued under the Purchase Agreement will be 96% of the lowest volume weighted average price (the “VWAP”)
of the Company’s Common Stock for the three trading days immediately following the delivery of each Advance notice by the Company
(the “Pricing Period”). Each issuance and sale by the Company to the Investor under the Purchase Agreement (an “Advance”)
is subject to a maximum amount equal to 100% of the daily trading volume of the Company’s Common Stock, as reported by Bloomberg
L.P., during the five trading days immediately preceding an Advance notice.
With
respect to each Advance, the Company has the option to notify the Investor of a minimum acceptable price (“MAP”) by
specifying the amount within an Advance notice. During any trading day within a Pricing Period, two conditions will trigger an automatic
reduction to the amount of the Advance by one-third: either (i) the VWAP of the Common Stock is below the MAP specified in the Advance
notice, or (ii) there is no VWAP available (each such day, an “Excluded Day”). On each Excluded Day, an automatic one-third
reduction is applied to the specified Advance amount in the Advance notice and that day will be excluded from the Pricing Period.
Each
Advance is subject to certain limitations, including that the Investor cannot purchase any shares that would result in it beneficially
owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding voting power of number of shares of Common Stock at the time of an Advance or
acquiring more than 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date of the Purchase Agreement (the “Exchange
Cap”). The Exchange Cap will not apply under certain circumstances, including, where the Company has obtained stockholder approval
to issue in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) or such issuances
do not require stockholder approval under Nasdaq’s “minimum price rule.”
The
Purchase Agreement will terminate automatically on the earlier of February 16, 2025 or when the Investor has purchased an aggregate of
$50 million of the Company’s shares of Common Stock. The Company has the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement upon five trading
days’ prior written notice to the Investor, subject to certain conditions.
In
connection with and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, upon the request of the Company,
the Investor will pre-advance to the Company up to $3,000,000 of the $50,000,000 commitment amount (a “Pre-Advance”),
with each Pre-Advance to be evidenced by a convertible promissory note (each, a “Note”). The first Pre-Advance, in
the principal amount of $1,000,000, was advanced February 15, 2024 and is subject to a 4% discount
to the principal amount of such Note. The second Pre-Advance shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 and advanced upon the
filing of the registration statement, and the third Pre-Advance shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 and advanced on the second
trading day after the effectiveness of the registration statement.
Each
Note will accrue interest on the outstanding principal balance at the rate of 8% per annum and has a maturity date of February 15, 2024
(as may be extended at the option of the Investor). Beginning in May 2024, the Company is required to pay, on a monthly basis, one-nineth
of the outstanding principal amount of each Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest, either (i) in cash or (ii) by submitting
an Advance notice pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and selling the Investor shares, or any combination of (i) or (ii) as determined
by the Company. The initial repayment is due 60 days after the issuance of a Note, followed by subsequent payments due every 30 days after
the previous payment. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Investor, any funds received by the Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement
for the sale of shares will first be used to satisfy any payments due under an outstanding Note.
At
the election of the Investor, all or a portion of the principal, interest, or other amounts outstanding under each Note (the “Conversion
Amount”) may be converted into shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”), equal to: (x) the Conversion
Amount, divided by (y) the Conversion Price. “Conversion Price” is defined as (i) $6.00 per share of Common Stock,
provided however, on May 28, 2024 (the “Reset Date”), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted (downwards only) to equal
the average of the daily VWAPs for the 5 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Reset Date, if such price is lower than the
Conversion Price then in effect. The Conversion Shares are entitled to the registration rights set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
The
Company paid a subsidiary of the Investor a structuring fee in the amount of $25,000 and issued to the Investor 259.350 shares of Common
Stock (the “Commitment Shares”) as a commitment fee. The Company and the Investor made certain representations and
warranties to each other that are customary for transactions similar to this one, subject to specified exceptions and qualifications.
Each of the Company and the Investor also agreed to indemnify the other.
The
foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement and the Notes and the transactions contemplated thereby are qualified in their entirety
by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement and the Notes, a copy or a form of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1
and 4.1, respectively, each of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
Financial Advisory
Agreement
In
connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a financial services agreement with Revere Securities,
LLC (“Revere”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay Revere $25,000 per month on an accrual basis for six months,
for general financial advisory services to be provided by Revere.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity
Securities.

and the shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Purchase Agreement are being offered and sold in a transaction exempt from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) thereof.

Convertible
Promissory Note
Original Principal Amount: $1,000,000
Issuance Date: [________]
Number: RR-[1][2][3]
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, RICHTECH
ROBOTICS INC., an entity organized under the laws of the State of Nevada (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the
order of YA II PN, LTD., or its registered assigns (the “Holder”), the amount set out above as the Original Principal
Amount (as reduced pursuant to the terms hereof pursuant to repayment, redemption, conversion or otherwise, the “Principal”)
and Payment Premium, as applicable, in each case when due, and to pay interest (“Interest”) on any outstanding Principal
at the applicable Interest Rate (as defined below) from the date set out above as the Issuance Date (the “Issuance Date”)
until the same becomes due and payable, whether upon the Maturity Date or acceleration, conversion, redemption or otherwise (in each case
in accordance with the terms hereof). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section (13). The Issuance Date is the date
of the first issuance of this Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) regardless of the number of transfers and regardless
of the number of instruments, which may be issued to evidence such Note. This Note was issued with a 4% original issue discount.
This Note is being issued pursuant
to Section 2.01 of the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement, dated February __, 2024 (as may be amended, amended and restated, extended,
supplemented or otherwise modified in writing from time to time, the “SEPA”), between the Company and the YA II PN,
Ltd., as the Investor.
(1) GENERAL
TERMS
(a) Maturity
Date. On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing all outstanding Principal, accrued
and unpaid Interest, and any other amounts outstanding pursuant to the terms of this Note. The “Maturity Date” shall
be [________], 20251, as may be extended
at the option of the Holder. Other than as specifically permitted by this Note, the Company may not prepay or redeem any portion of the
outstanding Principal and accrued and unpaid Interest.
1 | Insert date 12 months from the closing date of the First
Pre-Paid Advance. |
(b) Interest
Rate and Payment of Interest. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding Principal balance hereof at an annual rate equal to 8% (“Interest
Rate”), which Interest Rate shall increase to an annual rate of 18% upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (for so long
as such event remains uncured). Interest shall be calculated based on a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed, to the extent
permitted by applicable law.
(c) On
or before each date (each, an “Installment Date”) set forth on the repayment schedule attached hereto as Exhibit
I (the “Repayment Schedule”), the Company shall repay a portion of the outstanding balance of this Note in an amount
equal to the Principal amount set forth on the Repayment Schedule as of such Installment Date, plus all accrued and unpaid Interest on
this Note as of such Installment Date (collectively, the “Installment Amount”). With respect to the payment of any
Installment Amount by the Company hereunder, the Company shall, at its own option, repay each Installment Amount either (i) in cash on
or before the Installment Date, or (ii) by submitting an Advance Notice (as defined in the SEPA) (an “Advance Repayment”),
or a series of Advance Notices, each with an Advance Date (as defined in the SEPA) on or before the applicable Installment Date, or any
combination of (i) or (ii) as determined by the Company. In respect of any Installment Amount, or portion thereof, to be repaid by the
Company in accordance with (i) of this Section 1(c), the Company shall pay to the Holder such Installment Amount to the Holder by wire
transfer of immediately available funds in cash on or before such Installment Date, plus the Payment Premium. If the Company elects an
Advance Repayment in accordance with (ii) of this Section 1(c), for all or a portion of an Installment Amount, then the Company shall
deliver an Advance Notice to the Holder in accordance with the terms and conditions of the SEPA, that will have an Advance Date on or
before the applicable Installment Date. Upon the closing of such Advance Notice in accordance with Section 2.02 of the SEPA, the Holder
shall offset the amount due to be paid by the Holder to the Company under the SEPA against an equal amount of the Installment Amount to
be paid by the Advance Repayment. No Payment Premium shall apply in respect of an Advance Repayment. If, on the Installment Date any portion
of the Installment Amount remains unpaid, the Company shall repay such outstanding Payment Amount as a cash repayment pursuant to (i)
of this Section 1(c). The Repayment Schedule may be modified from time to time upon mutual consent.
For so long as this Note is
outstanding, unless otherwise agreed by the Holder, if the Company delivers an Advance Notice under the SEPA, the Company shall be deemed
to have elected an Advance Repayment in respect of such Advance Notice up to the Installment Amount due on such next Installment Date,
or subsequent Installment Dates, until this Note is fully repaid. Any conversions made by the Holder prior to an Installment Date shall
have the effect of reducing the amount due on any future Installment Date in chronological order by the amount of such conversion.
(d) Payment
Dates. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made
on the next succeeding Business Day.

(3) CONVERSION OF NOTE. This
Note shall be convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Shares, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section (3).
(a) Conversion
Right. Subject to the limitations of Section (3)(c), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, the Holder shall be entitled
to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount into fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares in accordance with
Section (3)(b), at the Conversion Price. The number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to this
Section (3)(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price. The Company shall not issue any
fraction of a share of Common Shares upon any conversion. All calculations under this Section (3) shall be rounded to the nearest $0.0001.
If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Shares, the Company shall round such fraction of a share
of Common Shares up to the nearest whole share. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable
with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Shares upon conversion of any Conversion Amount.
(b) Mechanics
of Conversion.
(i) Optional
Conversion. To convert any Conversion Amount into Common Shares on any date (a “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall
(A) transmit by email (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York Time, on such date, a copy of an executed
notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company and (B)
if required by Section (3)(b)(iii), surrender this Note to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company
(or an indemnification undertaking reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or
destruction). On or before the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (the “Share
Delivery Date”), the Company shall (X) if legends are not required to be placed on certificates of Common Shares 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 Common Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance
account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission 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 Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered
in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Common Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled which certificates shall
not bear any restrictive legends unless required pursuant to rules and regulations of the Commission. If this Note is physically surrendered
for conversion and the outstanding Principal of this Note is greater than the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted,
then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of this Note and at its
own expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Note representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled
to receive the Common Shares issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders
of such Common Shares upon the transmission of a Conversion Notice.
(ii) Company’s
Failure to Timely Convert. If within three (3) Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of an email copy of a Conversion Notice the
Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of
Common Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon such holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount (a “Conversion Failure”),
and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Shares to deliver in satisfaction
of a sale by the Holder of Common Shares issuable upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”),
then the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash
to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out of pocket expenses,
if any) for the Common Shares so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver
such certificate (and to issue such Common Shares) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate
or certificates representing such Common Shares and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price
over the product of (A) such number of Common Shares, times (B) the Closing Price on the Conversion Date.
(iii) Book-Entry.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof,
the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by
this Note is being converted or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion
Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this Note. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing
the Principal and Interest converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the
Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion.
(c) Limitations
on Conversions.
(i) Beneficial
Ownership. The Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note to the extent that after giving effect to such
conversion, the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, would beneficially own (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after
giving effect to such conversion or receipt of shares as payment of interest. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the
Company the number of Common Shares it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in
the issuance of Common Shares in excess of 4.99% of the then outstanding Common Shares without regard to any other shares which may be
beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the
restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that
the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the Principal amount of this Note is convertible
shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. The provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself
and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 65 days prior notice to the Company. Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such waiver.
(ii) Principal
Market Limitation. Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, the Company shall not issue any Common Shares upon conversion
of this Note, if the issuance of such Common Shares, together with any Common Shares issued in connection the SEPA and with any other
related transactions that may be considered part of the same series of transactions, would exceed the aggregate number Common Shares that
the Company may issue in a transaction in compliance with the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of Nasdaq Stock
Market LLC (the “Nasdaq”) and shall be referred to as the “Exchange Cap,” except that such limitation
shall not apply if the Company’s stockholders have approved such issuances on such terms in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance
with the rules of the Nasdaq. Any failure by the Company to issue shares as a result of the limitations imposed by this Section 3(c) shall
in no way be considered (i) a breach or default of any provision of this Note or (ii) an Event of Default.
(d) Other
Provisions.
(i) All
calculations under this Section (4) shall be rounded to the nearest $0.0001 or whole share.
(ii) Nothing
herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section (2) herein for the Company’s
failure to deliver certificates representing Common Shares upon conversion within the period specified herein and such Holder 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, in each case without the need to post a bond or provide other security. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit
the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.
(iii) Legal
Opinions. The Company is obligated to cause its legal counsel to deliver legal opinions to the Company’s transfer agent in connection
with any legend removal upon the expiration of any holding period or other requirement for which the Underlying Shares may bear legends
restricting the transfer thereof. To the extent that a legal opinion is not provided (either timely or at all), then, in addition to being
an Event of Default hereunder, the Company agrees to reimburse the Holder for all reasonable costs incurred by the Holder in connection
with any legal opinions paid for by the Holder in connection with sale or transfer of Underlying Common Shares. The Holder shall notify
the Company of any such costs and expenses it incurs that are referred to in this section from time to time and all amounts owed hereunder
shall be paid by the Company with reasonable promptness.
(e) Adjustment
of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Shares. If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding,
shall (a) pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on its Common Shares or any other equity or equity
equivalent securities payable in Common Shares, (b) subdivide outstanding Common Shares into a larger number of shares, (c) combine (including
by way of reverse stock split) outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issue by reclassification of Common Shares
any shares of capital stock of the Company, then each of the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator
shall be the number of Common Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall
be the number of Common Shares outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately
after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective
immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
(f) Adjustment
of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock. If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, issues or sells any
Common Shares or Convertible Securities, for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price
equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale (such price the “Applicable Price”) (the
foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance the Conversion Price then in effect shall
be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price. For the purposes hereof, if the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible
Securities and the lowest price per share for which one Common Share is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise thereof
is less than the Applicable Price, then such Common Share shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company
at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price
shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Share upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.
(g) Other
Corporate Events. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental
Transaction pursuant to which holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange
for Common Shares (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that the Holder will
thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of this Note, at the Holder’s option, (i) in addition to the Common Shares receivable
upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which the Holder would have been entitled with respect to such Common Shares
had such Common Shares been held by the Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations
or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note) or (ii) in lieu of the Common Shares otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such
securities or other assets received by the holders of Common Shares in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such
amounts as the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Note initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such
consideration (as opposed to Common Shares) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Price. Provision
made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders. The provisions of this
Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the
conversion or redemption of this Note.
(h) Whenever
the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section (3) hereof, the Company shall promptly provide the Holder with a written notice setting
forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
(i) In
case of any (1) merger or consolidation of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company with or into another Person, or (2) sale by the
Company or any Subsidiary of the Company of more than one-half of the assets of the Company in one or a series of related transactions,
a Holder shall have the right to (A) exercise any rights under Section (3)(b), (B) convert the aggregate amount of this Note then
outstanding into the shares of stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common
Shares following such merger, consolidation or sale, and such Holder shall be entitled upon such event or series of related events to
receive such amount of securities, cash and property as the Common Shares into which such aggregate Principal amount of this Note could
have been converted immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sales would have been entitled, or (C) in the case of a merger
or consolidation, require the surviving entity to issue to the Holder a convertible Note with a Principal amount equal to the aggregate
Principal amount of this Note then held by such Holder, plus all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owing thereon, which such
newly issued convertible Note shall have terms identical (including with respect to conversion) to the terms of this Note, and shall be
entitled to all of the rights and privileges of the Holder of this Note set forth herein and the agreements pursuant to which this Note
was issued. In the case of clause (C), the conversion price applicable for the newly issued shares of convertible preferred stock or convertible
debentures shall be based upon the amount of securities, cash and property that each Common Shares would receive in such transaction and
the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness or closing date for such transaction. The terms of any such merger,
sale or consolidation shall include such terms so as to continue to give the Holder the right to receive the securities, cash and property
set forth in this Section upon any conversion or redemption following such event. This provision shall similarly apply to successive such
events.
(4) REISSUANCE
OF THIS NOTE.
(a) Transfer.
If this Note is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and
deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section (4)(d)), registered in the name of the registered transferee
or assignee, representing the outstanding Principal being transferred by the Holder (along with any accrued and unpaid interest thereof)
and, if less then the entire outstanding Principal is being transferred, a new Note (in accordance with Section (4)(d)) to the Holder
representing the outstanding Principal not being transferred. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and

Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This Note is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office

this Note, and each such new Note will represent such portion of such outstanding Principal as is designated by the Holder at the time
of such surrender.

of New Notes. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Note pursuant to the terms hereof, such new Note (i) shall be of like
tenor with this Note, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Note, the Principal remaining outstanding (or in the
case of a new Note being issued pursuant to Section 5(4)(a) or Section 5(4)(c), the Principal designated by the Holder which, when added
to the Principal represented by the other new Note issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the Principal remaining outstanding
under this Note immediately prior to such issuance of new Note), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new
Note, which is the same as the Issuance Date of this Note, (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Note, and (v) shall

as expressly provided herein, no provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligations of the Company, which are absolute and unconditional,
to pay the Principal of, interest and other charges (if any) on, this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the currency, herein prescribed.
This Note is a direct obligation of the Company. As long as this Note is outstanding, the Company shall not and shall cause their subsidiaries
not to, without the consent of the Holder, enter into any agreement, arrangement or transaction in or of which the terms thereof would
restrict, materially delay, conflict with or impair the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the this Note, including,
without limitation, the obligation of the Company to make cash payments hereunder.
(7) This
Note shall not entitle the Holder to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including without limitation, the right to vote,
to receive dividends and other distributions, or to receive any notice of, or to attend, meetings of stockholders or any other proceedings
of the Company, unless and to the extent converted into Common Shares in accordance with the terms hereof.
(8) CHOICE
OF LAW; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL
(a) Governing
Law. This Note and the rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall, in all respects, be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the laws (excluding the principles of conflict of laws) of the State of New York (the “Governing Jurisdiction”)
(including Section 5-1401 and Section 5-1402 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York), including all matters of construction,
validity and performance.
(b) Jurisdiction;
Venue; Service.
(i) The
Company hereby irrevocably consents to the non-exclusive personal jurisdiction of the state courts of the Governing Jurisdiction and,
if a basis for federal jurisdiction exists, the non-exclusive personal jurisdiction of any United States District Court for the Governing
Jurisdiction.
(ii) The
Company agrees that venue shall be proper in any court of the Governing Jurisdiction selected by the Holder or, if a basis for federal
jurisdiction exists, in any United States District Court in the Governing Jurisdiction. The Company waives any right to object to the
maintenance of any suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract
or in tort or otherwise, in any of the state or federal courts of the Governing Jurisdiction on the basis of improper venue or inconvenience
of forum.
(iii) Any
suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or tort or otherwise,
brought by the Company against the Holder arising out of or based upon this Note or any matter relating to this Note, or any other Transaction
Document, or any contemplated transaction, shall be brought in a court only in the Governing Jurisdiction. The Company shall not file
any counterclaim against the Holder in any suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding brought by the Holder against the Company in
a jurisdiction outside of the Governing Jurisdiction unless under the rules of the court in which the Holder brought such suit, claim,
action, litigation or proceeding the counterclaim is mandatory, and not permissive, and would be considered waived unless filed as a counterclaim
in the suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding instituted by the Holder against the Company. The Company agrees that any forum outside
the Governing Jurisdiction is an inconvenient forum and that any suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding brought by the Company
against the Holder in any court outside the Governing Jurisdiction should be dismissed or transferred to a court located in the Governing
Jurisdiction. Furthermore, the Company irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not bring or commence any suit, claim, action,
litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the
Holder arising out of or based upon this Note or any matter relating to this Note, or any other Transaction Document, or any contemplated
transaction, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and the United States District Court
of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally
submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding
may be heard and determined in such New York State Court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court.
The Company and the Holder agree that a final judgment in any such suit, claim, action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and
may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
(iv) The
Company and the Holder irrevocably consent to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such suit, claim,
action, litigation or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail postage prepaid, to it at the address
provided for notices in this Note, such service to become effective thirty (30) days after the date of mailing.
(v) Nothing
herein shall affect the right of the Holder to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or
to otherwise proceed against the Company or any other Person in the Governing Jurisdiction or in any other jurisdiction.
(c) THE
PARTIES MUTUALLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ALL CLAIMS OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS NOTE OR ANY MATTER RELATING
TO THIS NOTE, OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A WAIVER OF A LEGAL
RIGHT AND THAT THE PARTIES EACH MAKE THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY AFTER CONSULTATION WITH COUNSEL OF THEIR RESPECTIVE CHOICE.
THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ALL SUCH CLAIMS SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A JUDGE OF A COURT HAVING JURISDICTION, WITHOUT A JURY.
(9) If
the Company fails to strictly comply with the terms of this Note, then the Company shall reimburse the Holder promptly for all fees, costs
and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Holder in any action in connection with
this Note, including, without limitation, those incurred: (i) during any workout, attempted workout, and/or in connection with the rendering
of legal advice as to the Holder’s rights, remedies and obligations, (ii) collecting any sums which become due to the Holder, (iii)
defending or prosecuting any proceeding or any counterclaim to any proceeding or appeal; or (iv) the protection, preservation or enforcement
of any rights or remedies of the Holder.
(10) Any
waiver by the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Note shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach
of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Note. The failure of the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any
term of this Note on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon
strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Note. Any waiver must be in writing.
(11) If
any provision of this Note is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Note shall remain in effect, and if any provision
is inapplicable to any person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances. If it shall
be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder shall violate applicable laws governing usury, the applicable
rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum permitted rate of interest. The Company covenants (to
the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the
benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or
any portion of the Principal of or interest on this Note as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force,
or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this indenture, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly
waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impeded
the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such as though no such law
has been enacted.

Article II. Advances
Section 2.01 Advances; Mechanics.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, during the Commitment Period, the Company, at its sole discretion, shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to issue and sell to the Investor, and the Investor shall purchase from the Company, Advance Shares
by the delivery to the Investor of Advance Notices on the following terms:
| (a) | Advance Notice. At any time during the Commitment Period the Company may require the Investor to
purchase Shares by delivering an Advance Notice to the Investor, subject to the satisfaction or waiver by the Investor of the conditions
set forth in Section 7.01, and in accordance with the following provisions: |
| (i) | The Company shall, in its sole discretion, select the number of Advance Shares, not to exceed the Maximum Advance Amount, it desires
to issue and sell to the Investor in each Advance Notice and the time
it desires to deliver each Advance Notice. |
| (ii) | There shall be no mandatory minimum Advances and no non-usages fee for not utilizing the Commitment Amount
or any part thereof. |
| (b) | Date of Delivery of Advance Notice. Advance Notices shall be delivered in accordance with the instructions
set forth on the bottom of Exhibit A attached hereto. An Advance Notice shall be deemed delivered on (i) the day it is received
by the Investor if such notice is received by email at or before 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time (or later if waived by the Investor in its sole
discretion), or (ii) the immediately succeeding day if it is received by email after 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. |
| (c) | Advance Limitations. Regardless of the number of Advance Shares requested by the Company in the
Advance Notice, the final number of Shares to be issued and sold pursuant to an Advance Notice shall be reduced (if at all) in accordance
with each of the following limitations: |
| (i) | Ownership Limitation; Commitment Amount. At the request of the Company, the Investor shall inform
the Company in writing of the number of shares the Investor beneficially owns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, the Investor shall not be obligated to purchase or acquire, and shall not purchase or acquire, any Common Shares under this
Agreement which, when aggregated with all other Common Shares beneficially owned by the Investor and its Affiliates (as calculated pursuant
to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder), would result in the beneficial ownership by the Investor
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. In connection with each Advance Notice delivered by the Company, any portion of the Advance that would (i) cause
the Investor to exceed the Ownership Limitation or (ii) cause the aggregate number of Shares issued and sold to the Investor hereunder
to exceed the Commitment Amount shall automatically be withdrawn with no further action required by the Company, and such Advance Notice
shall be deemed automatically modified to reduce the number of Advance Shares requested by an amount equal to such withdrawn portion;
provided that in the event of any such automatic withdrawal and automatic modification, the Investor will promptly notify the Company
of such event. |
| (ii) | Registration Limitation. In no event shall an Advance exceed the amount of Common Shares
registered in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby under the Registration Statement then in effect (the
“Registration Limitation”). In connection
with each Advance Notice, any portion of an Advance that would exceed the Registration Limitation shall automatically be withdrawn with
no further action required by the Company and such Advance Notice shall be deemed automatically modified to reduce the aggregate amount
of the requested Advance by an amount equal to such withdrawn portion; provided that in the event of any such automatic withdrawal and
automatic modification, the Investor will promptly notify the Company of such event. |
| (iii) | Compliance with Rules of Principal Market. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
Company shall not effect any sales under this Agreement and the Investor shall not have the obligation to purchase Common Shares under
this Agreement to the extent (but only to the extent) that after giving effect to such purchase and sale the aggregate number of Common
Shares issued under this Agreement would exceed 12,983,208 (representing 19.99% of the aggregate amount of Common Shares issued and outstanding
as of the date of this Agreement), calculated in accordance with the rules of the Principal Market, which number shall be reduced, on
a share-for-share basis, by the number of Common Shares issued or issuable pursuant to any transaction or series of transactions that
may be aggregated with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the applicable rules of the Principal Market (such maximum
number of shares, the “Exchange Cap”) provided that, the Exchange Cap will not apply if (a) the Company’s
stockholders have approved issuances in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with the rules of the Principal Market, or (b) the Average
Price of all applicable sales of Common Shares hereunder (including any sales covered by an Advance Notice that has been delivered prior
to the determination of whether this clause (b) applies) equals or exceed $1.909 per share (which represents the lower of (i) the Nasdaq
Official Closing Price (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) immediately preceding the execution of this Agreement; or (ii) the average Nasdaq
Official Closing Price for the five Trading Days immediately preceding the Effective Date). In connection with each Advance Notice, any
portion of an Advance that would exceed the Exchange Cap shall automatically be withdrawn with no further action required by the Company
and such Advance Notice shall be deemed automatically modified to reduce the aggregate amount of the requested Advance by an amount equal
to such withdrawn portion in respect of each Advance Notice. The Exchange Cap and the per share prices provided in this subsection shall
be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or any similar transaction. |
| (d) | Minimum Acceptable Price. |
| (i) | With respect to each Advance Notice, the Company may notify the Investor of the MAP with respect to such
Advance by indicating a MAP on such Advance Notice. If no MAP is specified in an Advance Notice, then no MAP shall be in effect in connection
with such Advance. Each Trading Day during a Pricing Period for which (A)
with respect to each Advance Notice with a MAP, the VWAP of the Common Shares is below the MAP in effect with respect to such Advance
Notice, or (B) there is no VWAP (each such day, an “Excluded Day”), shall result in an automatic reduction to the number
of Advance Shares set forth in such Advance Notice by one third (the resulting amount of each Advance being the “Adjusted Advance
Amount”), and each Excluded Day shall be excluded from the Pricing Period for purposes of determining the Market Price.
|
| (ii) | The total Advance Shares in respect of each Advance with any Excluded Day(s) (after reductions have been
made to arrive at the Adjusted Advance Amount) shall be increased by such number of Common Shares (the “Additional Shares”)
equal to greater of (a) the number of Common Shares sold by the Investor on such Excluded Day(s), if any, or (b) such number of Common
Shares elected to be subscribed for by the Investor, and the subscription price per share for each Additional Share shall be equal to
the MAP in effect with respect to such Advance Notice multiplied by 97% (without any further discount), provided that this increase shall
not cause the total Advance Shares to exceed the amount set forth in the original Advance Notice or any limitations set forth in Section
2.01(c). |
| (e) | Unconditional Contract. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Company and
the Investor acknowledge and agree that upon the Investor’s receipt of a valid Advance Notice from the Company the parties shall
be deemed to have entered into an unconditional contract binding on both parties for the purchase and sale of Advance Shares pursuant
to such Advance Notice in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (i) subject to Applicable Laws and (ii) subject to Section 3.08,
the Investor may sell Common Shares during the Pricing Period. |
Section 2.02 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 Advance Date in accordance with the procedures set forth below. The parties acknowledge that the Purchase Price is not
known at the time the Advance Notice is delivered (at which time the Investor is irrevocably bound) but shall be determined on each Closing
based on the daily prices of the Common Shares that are the inputs to the determination of the Purchase Price as set forth further below.
In connection with each Closing, the Company and the Investor shall fulfill each of its obligations as set forth below:
| (a) | On each Advance Date, the Investor shall deliver to the Company a written document, in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B (each a “Settlement Document”), setting forth the final number of Shares to be purchased by the
Investor (taking into account any adjustments pursuant to Section 2.01), the Market Price, the Purchase Price, the aggregate proceeds
to be paid by the Investor to the Company, and a report by Bloomberg, L.P. indicating the VWAP for each of the Trading Days during the
Pricing Period (or, if not reported on Bloomberg, L.P., another reporting service reasonably agreed to by the parties), in each case in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. |
| (b) | Promptly after receipt of the Settlement Document 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 Advance Shares to be purchased by the Investor (as set forth in the Settlement Document) 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 Settlement Document) in cash in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company in writing
and transmit notification to the Company that such funds transfer has been requested. 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 the resale of 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 pursuant to the Plan of Distribution set forth in the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement and otherwise
in compliance with the requirements of the Securities Act (including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements) or pursuant to an
available exemption). |
| (c) | On or prior to the Advance Date, 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. |
| (d) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if on any day during the Pricing Period (i)
the Company notifies Investor that a Material Outside Event has occurred, or (ii) the Company notifies the Investor of a Black Out Period,
the parties agree that the pending Advance shall end and the final number of Advance Shares to be purchased by the Investor at the Closing
for such Advance shall be equal to the number of Common Shares sold by the Investor during the applicable Pricing Period prior to the
notification from the Company of a Material Outside Event or Black Out Period. |
Section 2.03 Hardship.
| (a) | In the event the Investor sells Common Shares after receipt of an Advance Notice and the Company fails
to perform its obligations as mandated in Section 2.02, the Company agrees that in addition to and in no way limiting the rights and obligations
set forth in Article V 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 Applicable Laws and the rules of the Principal Market), without the
posting of a bond or other security, the terms and provisions of this Agreement. |
| (b) | In the event the Company provides an Advance Notice and the Investor fails to perform its obligations
as mandated in Section 2.02, the Investor agrees that in addition to and in no way limiting the rights and obligations set forth in Article
V hereto and in addition to any other remedy to which the Company is entitled at law or in equity, including, without limitation, specific
performance, it will hold the Company 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 Investor and acknowledges that irreparable damage may occur in the
event of any such default. It is accordingly agreed that the Company 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. |
Section 2.04 Completion of Resale Pursuant
to the Registration Statement. After the Investor has purchased the full Commitment Amount and has completed the subsequent resale
of the full Commitment Amount pursuant to the Registration Statement, Investor will notify the Company in writing (which may be by e-mail)

advanced on the Effective Date (the “First Pre-Advance Closing”), the second Pre-Paid Advance shall be in a

purchase price due and structed as an original issue discount (the “Original Issue Discount”), in immediately
available funds to an account designated by the Company in writing, and the Company shall deliver the Promissory Note with a
principal amount equal to the full amount of the Pre-Paid Advance, duly executed on behalf of the Company. The Company acknowledges
and agrees that the Original Issue Discount (i) shall not be funded but shall be deemed to be fully earned on at each Pre-Advance
Closing, and (ii) shall not reduce the principal amount of each Promissory Note. Unless
otherwise agreed by the Investor and the Company, any Advances delivered while the Promissory Note is outstanding shall first be
used to satisfy any Installment Amount (as defined in the Promissory Note) coming due.

the Promissory Note issued at the First Pre-Advance Closing and the principal amount of the payments that would have been due prior to
the issuance of such Promissory Note shall be allocated to the remaining payments on a pro-rata basis.

with all applicable listing requirements of the Principal Market.

Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess adequate rights or licenses to use all material trademarks, trade names, service
marks, service mark registrations, service names, patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions, licenses, approvals, governmental authorizations,

Section 4.12 Employee Relations.

The Company and its Subsidiaries (i) have not received written notice alleging any failure to comply in all material respects with all
Environmental Laws (as defined below), (ii) have received all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental

and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such
amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its Subsidiaries
are engaged. The Company has no reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage
expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have
a Material Adverse Effect.

Except as would not cause a Material Adverse Effect, the Company and its Subsidiaries possess all material certificates, authorizations

to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability
for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences,

in good faith and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to
the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. The Company has not received written notification of any unpaid taxes
in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries
know of no basis for any such claim where failure to pay would cause a Material Adverse Effect.

to any transaction with the Company (other than for services as employees, officers and directors), including any contract, agreement

without limitation, designation on OFAC’s Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List or OFAC’s Foreign Sanctions
Evaders List or other relevant sanctions authority (collectively, “Sanctions”), or (ii) located, organized or resident

The Investor and the Company represent to the other the following
with respect to itself:

Company. In consideration of the Investor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and acquiring the Shares hereunder, and
in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold
harmless the Investor and its investment manager, Yorkville Advisors Global, LP, and each of their respective officers, directors, managers,

by this Agreement) and each person who controls the Investor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act (collectively, the “Investor Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits,
claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and reasonable and documented expenses in connection therewith (irrespective
of whether any such Investor Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by the Investor Indemnitees or any
of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in the Registration Statement for the registration of the Shares as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any related prospectus,
or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however,
that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is
based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Investor specifically for inclusion therein; (b) any
material misrepresentation or breach of any material representation or material warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or any
other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby; or (c) any material breach of any material covenant, material
agreement or material obligation of the Company contained in this Agreement or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated
hereby or thereby. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable under Applicable Law, the Company
shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities, which is permissible under
Applicable Law.
Section 5.02 Indemnification
by the Investor. In consideration of the Company’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, and in addition to all of the
Investor’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Investor shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Company
and all of its officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents (including, without limitation, those retained in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and each person who controls the Investor within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Company Indemnitees”) from and against
any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Company Indemnitees or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or
relating to (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement for the
registration of the Shares as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any related prospectus, or in any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that the
Investor will only be liable for written information relating to the Investor furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the
Investor specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity, and will not be liable in any such case
to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
to the Investor by or on behalf of the Company specifically for inclusion therein; (b) any misrepresentation or breach of any
representation or warranty made by the Investor in this Agreement or any instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby
executed by the Investor; or (c) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Investor contained in this Agreement or
any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby executed by the Investor. To the extent that the
foregoing undertaking by the Investor may be unenforceable under Applicable Laws, the Investor shall make the maximum contribution
to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities, which is permissible under Applicable Laws.
Section 5.03 Notice
of Claim. 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 V, 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 V 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 V 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 5.04 Remedies. The remedies
provided for in this Article V 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 V shall survive expiration or termination
of this Agreement.
Section 5.05 Limitation of liability.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party shall be entitled to recover from the other party for punitive, indirect, incidental or consequential
damages.
Article VI.

and the Investor covenants with the Company, as follows, which covenants of one party are for the benefit of the other party, during the
Commitment Period:
Section 6.01 Registration Statement.
| (a) | Filing of a Registration Statement. The Company shall
