Equity Enhancement Program With Magna Equities II, LLC
Common Stock Purchase Agreement
On October 23, 2014 (the “Closing Date”),
Bioheart, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), entered into a common stock purchase agreement dated
as of the Closing Date (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Magna Equities II, LLC, a New York limited liability
company (the “Investor”). The Purchase Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth therein, the Investor is committed to purchase up to $3,000,000 (the “Total Commitment”)
worth of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Shares”), over the 24-month term of the Purchase
Agreement.
From time to time over the term of the Purchase
Agreement, commencing on the trading day immediately following the date on which the initial registration statement is declared
effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), as further discussed below, the Company
may, in its sole discretion, provide the Investor with a draw down notice (each, a “Draw Down Notice”) to purchase
a specified dollar amount of Shares (the “Draw Down Amount”) , with each draw down subject to the limitations
discussed below. The maximum dollar amount of Shares requested to be purchased pursuant to any single Draw Down Notice cannot exceed
the lesser of (i) 300% of the average daily trading volume of the Company’s common stock for the 10 trading days immediately
preceding the date of the Draw Down Notice and (ii) $500,000 (the “Maximum Draw Down Amount”). The Company may
not deliver any Draw Down Notice to the Investor if the Initial Purchase Price (as defined below) with respect to the Shares subject
to such Draw Down Notice is less than $0.0025 (subject to adjustment for any stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends,
recapitalizations and other similar transactions) as of the date the applicable Draw Down Notice is received by the Investor (the
“Draw Down Exercise Date”).
Once presented with a Draw Down Notice, the
Investor is required to purchase the applicable Draw Down Amount at the applicable “Purchase Price,” which is
defined as the lesser of (i) the Initial Purchase Price and (ii) the True-Up Purchase Price (as defined below).
The applicable settlement date with respect
to a Draw Down Notice will occur within one trading day following the Draw Down Exercise Date (the “Settlement Date”).
On the applicable Settlement Date, the Company will issue to the Investor a number of Shares, rounded to the nearest whole Share,
equal to the quotient of (i) the Draw Down Amount requested by the Company divided by (ii) the applicable Initial Purchase Price
(as defined below), against simultaneous payment therefor in an amount equal to the product of (A) the number of Shares issued
to the Investor on such Settlement Date and
(B) the applicable Initial Purchase Price. The “Initial Purchase Price”
is defined as a price equal to 93% of the lowest of (i) the arithmetic average of the three lowest daily volume weighted average
prices for the Company’s common stock (the “VWAP”) during the 10 consecutive trading days ending on the
trading day immediately preceding the applicable Draw Down Exercise Date, (ii) the arithmetic average of the three lowest closing
sale prices for the Company’s common stock during the 10 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding
the applicable Draw Down Exercise Date and (iii) the closing sale price for the Company’s common stock on the trading day
immediately preceding the applicable Draw Down Exercise Date (in each case, to be appropriately adjusted for any stock splits,
stock combinations, stock dividends, recapitalizations and other similar transactions).
With respect to a Draw Down Notice, on the trading
day (the “True-Up Date”) immediately following the eight-consecutive trading day period commencing on the trading
day immediately following the applicable Settlement Date for such Draw Down Notice (the “True-Up Pricing Period”),
a calculation of the True-Up Purchase Price (as defined below) and the Purchase Price will occur. The “True-Up Purchase
Price” is defined as a price equal to 93% of the arithmetic average of the three lowest daily VWAPs during the applicable
True-Up Pricing Period (to be appropriately adjusted for any stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends, recapitalizations
and other similar transactions), provided that in no event will the True-Up Purchase Price be less than $0.001.
On the Trading Day immediately following the
True-Up Date (the “True-Up Settlement Date”), the Company will issue to the Investor the Additional Shares (as
defined below), if any, in respect of the applicable Draw Down Notice. “Additional Shares” is defined as a number
of Shares (to be appropriately adjusted for any stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends, recapitalizations and other
similar transactions), rounded to the nearest whole Share, equal to the greater of (I) zero and (II) the difference of (i) the
quotient of (x) the total aggregate purchase price for Shares received by the Company on the Settlement Date with respect to the
applicable Draw Down Notice divided by (y) the True-Up Purchase Price, less (ii) the number of Shares issued to the Investor on
the applicable Settlement Date with respect to the applicable Draw Down Notice. The Investor is not required to return any Shares
to the Company in the event the True-Up Purchase Price is greater than the Initial Purchase Price.
The Company is prohibited from issuing a Draw
Down Notice if (i) the amount requested in such Draw Down Notice exceeds the Maximum Draw Down Amount, (ii) the sale of Shares
pursuant to such Draw Down Notice would cause the Company to issue or sell or the Investor to acquire or purchase an aggregate
dollar value of Shares that would exceed the Total Commitment, or (iii) the sale of Shares pursuant to the Draw Down Notice would
cause the Company to sell or the Investor to purchase an aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock which would
result in beneficial ownership by the Investor of more than 9.99% of the Company’s common stock (as calculated pursuant to
Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder). The Company cannot
make more than one
draw down during the period commencing on any Draw Down Exercise Date and ending on the applicable True-Up Date
for such draw down, and the Company must allow at least two trading days to elapse between the applicable True-Up Date for a draw
down and the delivery of any Draw Down Notice for any other draw down.
The Investor has agreed that during the term
of the Purchase Agreement, neither the Investor nor any of its affiliates will, directly or indirectly, engage in any short sales
involving the Company’s securities or grant any option to purchase, or acquire any right to dispose of or otherwise dispose
for value of, any shares of the Company’s common stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable
for any shares of the Company’s common stock, or enter into any swap, hedge or other similar agreement that transfers, in
whole or in part, the economic risk of ownership of any shares of the Company’s common stock.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations,
warranties and covenants by, among and for the benefit of the parties. The Purchase Agreement may be terminated at any time by
the mutual written consent of the parties. Unless earlier terminated, the Purchase Agreement will terminate automatically on the
earliest to occur of (i) the first day of the month next following the 24-month anniversary of the date on which the initial registration
statement is declared effective by the Commission, (ii) the date on which the Investor purchases the Total Commitment worth of
common stock under the Purchase Agreement and (iii) the date on which the Company’s common stock ceases to be listed or quoted
on a Trading Market (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). Under certain circumstances set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the
Company and the Investor each may terminate the Purchase Agreement on one trading day’s prior written notice to the other,
without fee, penalty or cost.
The Company paid to the Investor a commitment
fee for entering into the Purchase Agreement equal to $150,000 (or 5.0% of the Total Commitment under the Purchase Agreement) in
the form of 9,109,128 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, calculated using a per share price of $0.016467, representing
the arithmetic average of the three lowest daily VWAPs during the 10-consecutive-trading day period immediately preceding the Closing
Date (the “Initial Commitment Shares”). In addition, promptly following the effective date of the initial Registration
Statement (defined below), the Company is required to issue to the Investor additional shares of common stock (the “Additional
Commitment Shares” and, collectively with the Initial Commitment Shares, the “Commitment Shares”) equal
to the greater of (i) zero and (ii) the difference of (a) the quotient of (x) $150,000 divided by (y) the greater of (1) the arithmetic
average of the three lowest daily VWAPs during the 10-consecutive-trading day period ending on and including the effective date
of the initial Registration Statement and (2) $0.006, less (ii) 9,109,128, provided that in no event will the Company issue more
than an aggregate of 15,890,872 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment, as Additional Commitment Shares. The Commitment
Shares will be registered for resale in the Registration Statement, as discussed below.
The Company also agreed to pay up to $25,000
of reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses (exclusive of disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred by the Investor in
connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement and related transaction documentation.
Further, if the Company issues a Draw Down Notice and fails to deliver the shares to the Investor on the applicable Settlement
Date or True-Up Settlement Date, the Company agreed to pay the Investor, in addition to all other remedies available to the Investor
under the Purchase Agreement, an amount in cash equal to 2.0% of the purchase price of such shares for each 30-day period the shares
are not delivered, plus accrued interest.
The Purchase Agreement also provides for indemnification
of the Investor and its affiliates in the event that the Investor incurs losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies,
damages, costs and expenses related to a breach by the Company of any of its representations and warranties under the Purchase
Agreement or the other related transaction documents or any action instituted against the Investor or its affiliates due to the
transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or other transaction documents, subject to certain limitations.
Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the execution of the Purchase
Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Company and the Investor also entered into a registration rights agreement dated as of the
Closing Date (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company
has agreed to file an initial registration statement (“Registration Statement”) with the Commission to register
an agreed upon number of Shares, which shall not exceed 1/3 of the number of shares of the Company's common stock held by non-affiliates
of the Company, on or prior to December 8, 2014 (the “Filing Deadline”) and have it declared effective at the
earlier of (A) the 90th calendar day after the earlier of (1) the Filing Deadline and (2) the date on which the
initial Registration Statement is filed with the Commission and (B) the fifth business day after the date the Company is notified
by the Commission that such Registration Statement will not be reviewed or will not be subject to further review (the “Effectiveness
Deadline”).
If at any time all of the Registrable Securities
(as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) are not covered by the initial Registration Statement, the Company has agreed
to file with the Commission one or more additional Registration Statements so as to cover all of the Registrable Securities not
covered by such initial Registration Statement, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the applicable
filing deadline for such additional Registration Statements as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement.
The Company also agreed, among other things,
to indemnify the Investor from certain liabilities and fees and expenses of the Investor incident to the Company’s obligations
under the Registration Rights Agreement, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”). The Investor has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of its directors, officers and persons
who control the Company against certain liabilities that may be based upon written
information furnished by the Investor to the
Company for inclusion in a registration statement pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, including certain liabilities
under the Securities Act.
The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement
and Registration Rights Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement and
Registration Rights Agreement filed as exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on the Form 8-K (this “Report”),
respectively, which are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of
Equity Securities
Reference is made to the disclosure set forth
under Item 1.01 of this Report, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.
The issuance of the Initial Commitment Shares
and the Additional Commitment Shares, if any, and the sale of the Shares to the Investor under the Purchase Agreement are exempt
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to the exemption for transactions by an issuer not involving
any public offering under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act
(“Regulation D”). The Company made this determination based on the representations of the Investor
that the Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D and has access to information
about the Company and its investment.
This Report is neither an offer to sell nor
the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities. The securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not
be offered or sold in the United States of America absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act.

Article
III
DRAW DOWN TERMS
Subject to the satisfaction
of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:
Section
3.1. Draw
Downs.
(a)
Draw Down Notice. Subject to Section 3.1(b) hereof, from time to time during the Investment Period, the Company
may, in its sole discretion, no later than 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the applicable Draw Down Exercise Date, provide to
the Investor a Draw Down Notice, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (each, a “Draw Down
Notice”), which Draw Down Notice shall become effective upon receipt thereof by the Investor on the applicable Draw
Down Exercise Date, and directing the Investor to purchase a specified Draw Down Amount Requested (which shall not exceed the Maximum
Draw Down Amount Requested). As used in this Agreement, the term “Draw Down Exercise Date” shall mean
the date on which the Investor receives any Draw Down Notice in accordance with this Section 3.1; provided, however,
that if the Investor receives the Draw Down Notice later than 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, then the Draw Down
Exercise Date shall not be the Trading Day on which the Investor receives such Draw Down Notice, but rather shall be the immediately
following Trading Day (unless a subsequent Trading Day is therein specified as the Draw Down Exercise Date). Upon the terms and
subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Investor is obligated to accept each Draw Down Notice prepared and delivered in
accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement and shall
purchase from the Company the Shares subject to such Draw Down Notice at the applicable Purchase Price in accordance with Section
3.2 hereof. Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Investor
shall not be required to purchase, and shall not purchase, more than the Maximum Draw Down Amount Requested pursuant to any single
Draw Down Notice.
(b)
Draw Down Exercise Floor Price. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall
not deliver any Draw Down Notice to the Investor if the Initial Purchase Price with respect to the Shares subject to such Draw
Down Notice is less than the Draw Down Exercise Floor Price as of the applicable Draw Down Exercise Date, and any such Draw Down
Notice shall be void, ab initio, and the Company shall not sell, and the Investor shall not purchase, any Shares pursuant
thereto.
Section
3.2. Settlement.
The payment for, against simultaneous delivery of, Shares in respect of any Draw Down shall be settled as provided in this Section
3.2.
(a)
Settlement Date. With respect to each Draw Down pursuant to a Draw Down Notice received by the Investor in
accordance with Section 3.1(a) hereof, the settlement thereof shall occur not later than the first Trading Day next following the
applicable Draw Down Exercise Date. Each date on which settlement of the purchase and sale of Shares occurs under this Section
3.2(a) shall be referred to herein as a “Settlement Date”. On each Settlement Date, the Company shall,
or shall cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer to the Investor a number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable Shares, rounded to the nearest whole Share, equal to the quotient of (i) the Draw Down Amount Requested
divided by (ii) the applicable Initial Purchase Price, by crediting the Investor’s or its designees’ account (provided
the Investor shall have given the Company written notice of such designee prior to the Settlement Date) at DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal
at Custodian (DWAC) system, which Shares shall be freely tradable and transferable and without restriction on resale pursuant to
the Registration Statement, against simultaneous payment of the total Draw Down Amount therefor, which shall be equal to the product
of (A) the number of Shares issued to the Investor on such Settlement Date and (B) the applicable Initial Purchase Price, to the
Company’s designated account by wire transfer of immediately available funds; provided that if the Shares are received
by the Investor later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, payment of the total Draw Down Amount therefor shall be made with next
day funds. As set forth in Section 3.5, a failure by the Company or its transfer agent (if applicable) to deliver such Shares on
the applicable Settlement Date, among other things, shall result in the payment of partial damages by the Company to the Investor.
(b)
True-Up Date. With respect to each Draw Down pursuant to a Draw Down Notice received by the Investor in accordance
with Section 3.1(a) hereof, a calculation of the True-Up Purchase Price and the final Purchase Price with respect to such Draw
Down shall occur not later than the first Trading Day next following the last Trading Day of the applicable True-Up Pricing Period.
Each date on which calculation of a True-Up Purchase Price and Purchase Price occurs under this Section 3.2(b) shall be referred
to herein as a “True-Up Date”. Not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Trading Day immediately
following the True-Up Date (the “True-Up Settlement Date”), the Company shall, or shall cause its transfer
agent to, electronically transfer to the Investor the Additional Shares, if any, in respect of the
applicable Draw Down by crediting the
Investor’s or its designees’ account (provided the Investor shall have given the Company written notice of such designee
prior to the True-Up Date) at DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system, which Additional Shares, if any, shall
be freely tradable and transferable and without restriction on resale pursuant to the Registration Statement. “Additional
Shares” shall mean a number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable Shares (which shall
be appropriately adjusted for any stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends, recapitalizations and other similar transactions
that occur on or after the date of this Agreement), rounded to the nearest whole Share, equal to the greater of (I) zero and (II)
the difference of (i) the quotient of (x) the total Draw Down Amount received by the Company on the Settlement Date with respect
to the applicable Draw Down Notice divided by (y) the True-Up Purchase Price, less (ii) the number of Shares issued to the Investor
on the applicable Settlement Date with respect to the applicable Draw Down Notice. As set forth in Section 3.5, a failure by the
Company or its transfer agent (if applicable) to deliver such Additional Shares, if any, on the applicable True-Up Settlement Date,
among other things, shall result in the payment of partial damages by the Company to the Investor.
(c)
Purchase Price. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and for the avoidance of doubt, with respect
to each Draw Down pursuant to a Draw Down Notice received by the Investor in accordance with Section 3.1(a) hereof, (i) the final
purchase price for the Shares subject to such Draw Down Notice shall be equal to the lesser of (A) the Initial Purchase
Price and (B) the True-Up Purchase Price (such lesser price, the “Purchase Price”) and (ii) the Investor
shall not be required to return any Shares to the Company in the event the True-Up Purchase Price is greater than the Initial Purchase
Price.
Section
3.3. Limitation
of Draw Downs. The Company shall not make more than one Draw Down during the period between the applicable Draw Down Exercise
Date and the applicable True-Up Date with respect to such Draw Down. At least two Trading Days shall elapse between the True-Up
Date with respect to a Draw Down and the delivery of any Draw Down Notice for any other Draw Down during the Investment Period.
Each Draw Down automatically shall expire immediately following the completion of the delivery of Additional Shares in respect
of such Draw Down in accordance with Section 3.2(b) hereof or, if no Additional Shares are required to be delivered in respect
of such Drawn Down, immediately following the completion of the calculation of the True-Up Purchase Price and the Purchase Price
on the True-Up Date.
Section
3.4. Reduction
of Commitment. On each Settlement Date, the Investor’s Total Commitment under this Agreement automatically shall be reduced,
on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by the total Draw Down Amount paid to the Company on such Settlement Date.
Section
3.5. Failure
to Deliver Shares or Additional Shares. If the Company issues a Draw Down Notice to the Investor, and the Company or its transfer
agent shall fail for any reason or for no reason to electronically deliver all of the Shares subject thereto to the Investor on
the applicable Settlement Date by crediting the Investor’s or its designees’ account at DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal
at Custodian (DWAC) system in compliance with Section 3.2 of this Agreement, then, in addition to all other remedies available
to the Investor, the Company shall pay the Investor, in cash, as partial damages for such failure and not as a penalty, an amount
equal to 2.0% of the payment required to be paid by the Investor on such Settlement
Date for the initial 30 days following
such Settlement Date until the Shares have been delivered, and an additional 2.0% for each additional 30-day period thereafter
until the Shares have been delivered, which amount shall be prorated for such periods less than 30 days. If the Company issues
a Draw Down Notice to the Investor, and the Company or its transfer agent shall fail for any reason or for no reason to electronically
deliver all of the Additional Shares, if any, subject thereto to the Investor on the applicable True-Up Settlement Date by crediting
the Investor’s or its designees’ account at DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system in compliance
with Section 3.2 of this Agreement, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Investor, the Company shall pay the
Investor, in cash, as partial damages for such failure and not as a penalty, an amount equal to 2.0% of the payment required to
be paid by the Investor on the applicable Settlement Date for the initial 30 days following such True-Up Settlement Date until
the Additional Shares have been delivered, and an additional 2.0% for each additional 30-day period thereafter until the Additional
Shares have been delivered, which amount shall be prorated for such periods less than 30 days. In addition to the foregoing, if
the Company or its transfer agent shall fail for any reason or for no reason to electronically transfer all of the Shares or Additional
Shares subject to a Draw Down Notice to the Investor on the applicable Settlement Date or True-Up Settlement Date, as applicable,
by crediting the Investor’s or its designees’ account at DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system
in compliance with Section 3.2 of this Agreement, and if on or after such applicable Settlement Date or True-Up Settlement Date,
as applicable, the Investor purchases, in an open market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock necessary to make delivery
by the Investor in satisfaction of a sale by the Investor of Shares or Additional Shares that the Investor anticipated receiving
from the Company in connection with such Draw Down, then the Company shall, in addition to any other amounts due to the Investor
pursuant to this Agreement, within three Trading Days after the Investor’s request, pay cash to the Investor in an amount
equal to the Investor’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Shares or Additional Shares
so purchased, at which point the Company’s obligation to credit such Investor’s or its designee’s account at
DTC for such Shares or Additional Shares shall terminate. All amounts due and payable to the Investor pursuant to this Section
3.5 are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Make Whole Amount”. If the Make Whole Amount is
not paid within two Trading Days following the date when due hereunder, the Make Whole Amount shall accrue annual interest (on
the basis of the 365 day year) compounded daily at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the prime rate of interest then
in effect as published by the Wall Street Journal plus 3.0% and (ii) 10.0%, up to and including the date on which the Make
Whole Amount is actually paid. The Company shall not issue a Draw Down Notice to the Investor until the Make Whole Amount, plus
all accrued interest, has been paid to the Investor in full.
Section
3.6. Certain
Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event may the Company issue a Draw
Down Notice to the extent that (i) the Draw Down Amount Requested in such Draw Down Notice exceeds the Maximum Draw Down Amount
Requested, (ii) the sale of Shares pursuant to such Draw Down Notice would cause the Company to issue or sell or the Investor to
acquire or purchase a dollar value of shares of Common Stock which, when aggregated with all Draw Down Amounts paid by the Investor
pursuant to all prior Draw Down Notices issued under this Agreement, would exceed the Aggregate Limit, or (iii) the sale of Shares
pursuant to such Draw Down Notice would cause the Company to sell or the Investor to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock
which, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then 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, would result in the beneficial ownership by the
Investor or any of its Affiliates of more than 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Ownership
Limitation”). If the Company issues a Draw Down Notice in which the Draw Down Amount Requested exceeds the Maximum
Draw Down Amount Requested, such Draw Down Notice shall be void ab initio to the extent the Draw Down Amount Requested exceeds
the Maximum Draw Down Amount Requested. If the Company issues a Draw Down Notice that otherwise would require the Investor to purchase
shares of Common Stock which would cause the aggregate purchases of Common Stock by the Investor under this Agreement to exceed
the Aggregate Limit, such Draw Down Notice shall be void ab initio to the extent of the amount by which the dollar value
of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable pursuant to such Draw Down Notice, together with all Draw Down Amounts paid by the
Investor pursuant to all prior Draw Down Notices issued under this Agreement, would exceed the Aggregate Limit. If the Company
issues a Draw Down Notice that otherwise would require the Investor to purchase shares of Common Stock which would cause the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock then 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 to exceed the Ownership Limitation, such Draw Down Notice shall
be void ab initio to the extent of the amount by which the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable pursuant
to such Draw Down Notice, together with all shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Investor and its Affiliates,
would exceed the Ownership Limitation.
Section
3.7. Blackout
Periods. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not deliver any Draw Down Notice or otherwise
offer or sell Shares to the Investor, and the Investor shall not be obligated to purchase any Shares pursuant to this Agreement,
(i) during any period in which the Company is, or may be deemed to be, in possession of material non-public information, or (ii)
except as expressly provided in this Section 3.7, at any time from and including the date (each, an “Announcement Date”)
on which the Company shall issue a press release containing, or shall otherwise publicly announce, its earnings, revenues or other
results of operations (each, an “Earnings Announcement”) through and including the time that is 24 hours
after the time that the Company files (a “Filing Time”) a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or an Annual
Report on Form 10-K that includes consolidated financial statements as of and for the same period or periods, as the case may be,
covered by such Earnings Announcement. If the Company wishes to deliver any Draw Down Notice or otherwise offer, sell or deliver
Shares to the Investor at any time during the period from and including an Announcement Date through and including the time that
is 24 hours after the corresponding Filing Time, the Company shall, as conditions thereto, (1) prepare and deliver to the Investor
(with a copy to counsel to the Investor) a report on Form 8-K which shall include substantially the same financial and related
information as was set forth in the relevant Earnings Announcement (other than any earnings or other projections, similar forward-looking
data and officers’ quotations) (each, an “Earnings 8-K”), (2) provide the Investor with the compliance
certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, dated the date of such Draw Down Notice, which certificate
shall be deemed to remain in effect during the applicable Pricing Period through and including the applicable Settlement Date,
and the “bring down” opinions in the form mutually agreed to by the parties hereto prior to the date hereof, dated
the date of such Draw Down Notice and (3) file such Earnings 8-K with the Commission (so that it is deemed “filed”
for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act), include such Earnings 8-K in a
Prospectus Supplement and file such
Prospectus Supplement with the Commission under Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, in each case on or prior to the date of such
Draw Down Notice. The provisions of clause (ii) of this Section 3.7 shall not be applicable for the period from and after the time
at which all of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall have been satisfied (or, if later, the time
that is 24 hours after the time that the relevant Earnings Announcement was first publicly released) through and including the
time that is 24 hours after the Filing Time of the relevant Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as the
case may be. For purposes of clarity, the parties agree that the delivery of the compliance certificate and the “bring down”
opinions pursuant to this Section 3.7 shall not relieve the Company from any of its obligations under this Agreement with respect
to the delivery of the compliance certificate called for by Section 7.2(ii) and the “bring down” opinions called for
by Section 7.2(xv) on the applicable Settlement Date, which Sections shall have independent application.

The Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for its fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2014 sets forth, as of June 30, 2014, all
outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has
commitments through such date. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness” shall mean (a) any
liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $1,000,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary
course of business), (b) all guaranties, endorsements, indemnities and other contingent obligations in respect of Indebtedness
of others in excess of $1,000,000, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s balance sheet (or
the notes thereto), except guaranties by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions
in the ordinary course of business; and (c) the present value of any lease payments in excess of $1,000,000 due under leases required
to be capitalized in accordance with GAAP. There is no existing or continuing default or event of default in respect of any Indebtedness
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The Company has not taken any steps, and does not currently expect to take any steps,
to seek protection pursuant to Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar
federal or state bankruptcy law or law
for the relief of debtors, nor does the Company have any Knowledge that its creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings for relief under Title 11 of the United States Code
or any other federal or state bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors. The Company is financially solvent and is generally
able to pay its debts as they become due.
Section
5.12. Title To Assets. Each of
the Company and its Subsidiaries has good and valid title to, or has valid rights to lease or otherwise use, all of their respective
real and personal property reflected in the Commission Documents, free of mortgages, pledges, charges, liens, security interests
or other encumbrances, except for those indicated in the Commission Documents and those that would not have a Material Adverse
Effect. All real property and facilities held under lease by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid,
subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere with the use made and proposed
to be made of such property and buildings by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
Section
5.13. Actions Pending. There
is no action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding pending, or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened, against the Company
or any Subsidiary which questions the validity of the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby or any action
taken or to be taken pursuant thereto. Except as set forth in the Commission Documents, there is no action, suit, claim, investigation
or proceeding pending, or to the Knowledge of the Company threatened, against or involving the Company, any Subsidiary or any of
their respective properties or assets, or involving any officers or directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including,
without limitation, any securities class action lawsuit or stockholder derivative lawsuit related to the Company, in each case
which, if determined adversely to the Company, its Subsidiary or any officer or director of the Company or its Subsidiaries, would
have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in the Commission Documents, no judgment, order, writ, injunction or decree
or award has been issued by or, to the Knowledge of the Company, requested of any court, arbitrator or governmental agency which
would be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
Section

business of the Company and the Subsidiaries has been and is presently being conducted in compliance with all applicable federal,
state, local and foreign governmental laws, rules, regulations and ordinances, except as set forth in the Commission Documents
and except for such non-compliance which, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any judgment, decree or order or any statute, ordinance, rule or regulation
applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will conduct its business
in violation of any of the foregoing, except in all cases for possible violations which could not, individually or in the aggregate,
have a Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company has maintained all requirements for
the continued listing or quotation of its Common Stock on the Trading Market, and the Company is not in violation of any of the
rules, regulations or requirements of the Trading Market and has no Knowledge of any facts or circumstances that could reasonably

Affiliates) with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
Section
5.16. Disclosure. The Company
confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided the Investor or any of its agents, advisors or

the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than the existence of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
The Company understands and confirms that the Investor will rely on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in
securities of the Company. All disclosure provided to Investor regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries, their businesses and

or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, taken together, is true and correct and does not contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each press release issued by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries during
the 12 months preceding the Closing Date did not at the time of release (or, if amended or superseded by a later dated press release
issued by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date or by a later dated Commission Document filed with or

Section
5.17. Operation of Business.
(a) The Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries possesses such permits,
licenses, approvals, consents and other authorizations (including licenses, accreditation and other similar documentation or approvals
of any local health departments) issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies, including,
without limitation, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), as are necessary to conduct the business
now operated by it (collectively, “Governmental Licenses”), except where the failure to possess such
Governmental Licenses, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its Subsidiaries
are in compliance with the terms and conditions of all such Governmental Licenses and all applicable FDA rules and regulations,
guidelines and policies, and all applicable rules and regulations, guidelines and policies of any governmental authority exercising
authority comparable to that of the FDA (including any non-governmental authority whose approval or authorization is required under
foreign law comparable to that administered by the FDA), except where the failure to so comply, individually or in the aggregate,
would not have a Material Adverse Effect or except as otherwise disclosed in the Commission Documents. All of the Governmental
Licenses are valid and in full force and effect, except where the invalidity of such Governmental Licenses or the failure of such
Governmental Licenses to be in full force and effect, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect
or except as otherwise disclosed in the Commission Documents. As to each product that is subject to FDA regulation or similar legal
provisions in any foreign jurisdiction
that is developed, manufactured, tested, packaged, labeled, marketed, sold, distributed and/or commercialized by the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries, each such product is being developed, manufactured, tested, packaged, labeled, marketed, sold, distributed
and/or commercialized in compliance with all applicable requirements of the FDA (and any non-governmental authority whose approval
or authorization is required under foreign law comparable to that administered by the FDA), including, but not limited to, those
relating to investigational use, investigational device exemption, premarket notification, premarket approval, good clinical practices,
good manufacturing practices, record keeping, filing of reports, and patient privacy and medical record security, except where
such non-compliance, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect or except as otherwise disclosed
in the Commission Documents. As to each product or product candidate of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries subject to FDA regulation
or similar legal provision in any foreign jurisdiction, all manufacturing facilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries are operated
in compliance with the FDA’s Good Manufacturing Practices requirements at 21 C.F.R. Part 210 and 211, as applicable, except
where such non-compliance, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in the
Commission Documents, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice of proceedings relating to
the revocation or modification of any such Governmental Licenses or relating to a potential violation of or failure to comply with
any FDA rules and regulations, guidelines or policies which, if the subject of any unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, individually
or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in the Commission Documents, neither the Company
nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any correspondence, notice or request from the FDA, including, without limitation, notice
that any one or more products or product candidates of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries failed to receive approval from the
FDA for use for any one or more indications that, individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect. This
Section 5.17 does not relate to environmental matters, such items being the subject of Section 5.18.
(b)
The Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries owns or possesses adequate patents, patent rights, licenses, inventions,
copyrights, know-how (including trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential information,
systems or procedures), trademarks, service marks, trade names, trade dress, logos, copyrights and other intellectual property,
including, without limitation, all of the intellectual property described in the Commission Documents as being owned or licensed
by the Company (collectively, “Intellectual Property”), necessary to carry on the business now operated
by it. Except as set forth in the Commission Documents, there are no actions, suits or judicial proceedings pending, or to the
Company’s Knowledge threatened, relating to patents or proprietary information to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
is a party or of which any property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, and neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries has received any notice or is otherwise aware of any infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others with
respect to any Intellectual Property or of any facts or circumstances which could render any Intellectual Property invalid or inadequate
to protect the interest of the Company and its Subsidiaries therein, and which infringement or conflict (if the subject of any
unfavorable decision, ruling or finding) or invalidity or inadequacy, individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse
Effect.
(c)
All pre-clinical and clinical trials conducted by, or on behalf of, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or in which
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has participated that are described in the Commission Documents, or the results of which
are referred to in the Commission Documents, if any, are the only pre-clinical and clinical trials currently being conducted by
or on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries. All such pre-clinical and clinical trials conducted, supervised or monitored
by, or on behalf of, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries have been conducted in compliance with all applicable federal, state,
local and foreign laws, and the regulations and requirements of any applicable governmental entity, including, but not limited
to, FDA good clinical practice and good laboratory practice requirements, except where the failure to so comply, individually or
in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect or except as otherwise disclosed in the Commission Documents. Except
as set forth in the Commission Documents, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notices or correspondence
from the FDA or any other governmental agency requiring the termination, suspension, delay or modification of any pre-clinical
or clinical trials conducted by, or on behalf of, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or in which the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries has participated that are described in the Commission Documents, if any, or the results of which are referred to in
the Commission Documents. All pre-clinical and clinical trials previously conducted by, or on behalf of, the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries while conducted by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, were conducted in compliance with all
applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws, and the regulations and requirements of any applicable governmental entity,
including, but not limited to, FDA good clinical practice and good laboratory practice requirements, except where the failure to
so comply, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect or except as otherwise disclosed in the Commission
Documents.
Section
5.18. Environmental Compliance.
Except as disclosed in the Commission Documents, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries have obtained all material approvals,
authorization, certificates, consents, licenses, orders and permits or other similar authorizations of all governmental authorities,
or from any other person, that are required under any Environmental Laws, except for any approvals, authorization, certificates,
consents, licenses, orders and permits or other similar authorizations the failure of which to obtain does not or would not have
a Material Adverse Effect. “Environmental Laws” shall mean all applicable laws relating to the protection
of the environment including, without limitation, all requirements pertaining to reporting, licensing, permitting, controlling,
investigating or remediating emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances, chemical substances,
pollutants, contaminants or toxic substances, materials or wastes, whether solid, liquid or gaseous in nature, into the air, surface
water, groundwater or land, or relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport
or handling of hazardous substances, chemical substances, pollutants, contaminants or toxic substances, material or wastes, whether
solid, liquid or gaseous in nature. Except for such instances as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse
Effect, to the Company’s Knowledge, there are no past or present events, conditions, circumstances, incidents, actions or
omissions relating to or in any way affecting the Company or its Subsidiaries that violate or could reasonably be expected to violate
any Environmental Law after the Closing Date or that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any environmental liability,
or otherwise form the basis of any claim, action, demand, suit, proceeding, hearing, study or investigation (i) under any Environmental
Law, or (ii) based on or related to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use,
treatment, storage (including without
limitation underground storage tanks), disposal, transport or handling, or the emission, discharge, release or threatened release
of any hazardous substance.

Except as set forth in the Commission Documents, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries have performed in all material respects
all the obligations then required to be performed by them under the Material Agreements, have received no notice of default or
an event of default by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries thereunder and are not aware of any basis for the assertion thereof,
and neither the Company or any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, any other contracting party thereto are
in default under any Material Agreement now in effect, the result of which would have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set
forth in the Commission Documents, each of the Material Agreements is in full force and effect, and constitutes a legal, valid
and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms against the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries and, to the
Knowledge of the Company, each other contracting party thereto, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally
the enforcement of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.
Section
5.20. Transactions With Affiliates.

or any of its Subsidiaries, other than (i) reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred on behalf of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or (ii) as part of the normal and customary terms of such person’s employment or service as a director with
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

his or her employment or engagement with the Company or any Subsidiary.
Section
5.22. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds

Section
5.24. ERISA. No liability to
the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation has been incurred with respect to any Plan by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which
has had or would have a Material Adverse Effect. No “prohibited transaction” (as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code) or “accumulated funding deficiency” (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA) or any of the events
set forth in Section 4043(b) of ERISA has occurred with respect to any Plan which has had or would have a Material Adverse Effect,
and the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder shall not result in any
of the foregoing events. Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with applicable law, including ERISA and the Code;
the Company has not incurred and does not expect to incur liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to the termination of,
or withdrawal from, any Plan; and each Plan for which the Company would have any liability that is intended to be qualified under
Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified in all material respects and nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act,
which would cause the loss of such qualifications. As used in this Section 5.24, the term “Plan” shall
mean an “employee pension benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3 of ERISA) which is or has been established or maintained,
or to which contributions are or have been made, by the Company or any Subsidiary or by any trade or business, whether or not incorporated,

Effect, and (iii) does not have any tax deficiency or claims outstanding or assessed or, to the Company’s Knowledge, proposed
against it which would have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the
taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries know of no basis for any such claim.
The Company is not operated in such a manner as to qualify as a passive foreign investment company, as defined in Section 1297
of the Code.
Section
5.26. Insurance. The Company
and 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. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary
has been refused any insurance coverage
sought or applied for, and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will be unable 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.
Section
5.27. U.S. Real Property Holding

delivered to the Investor via book entry through DTC and will not bear legends noting restrictions as to resale of such securities
under federal or state securities laws, nor will any such securities be subject to stop transfer instructions. Neither the offer
or sale of the Securities pursuant to, nor the Company’s performance of its obligations under, the Transaction Documents
to which it is a party shall (i) result in the creation or imposition of any liens, charges, claims or other encumbrances upon
the Securities, or (ii) entitle the holders of any outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company to preemptive or other
rights to subscribe to or acquire the shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company.

None of the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates, nor any Person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly,

of the issuance of any of the Securities under the Securities Act, whether through integration with prior offerings or otherwise,
or cause this offering of the Securities to require approval of stockholders of the Company under any applicable stockholder approval
provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of the Trading Market. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries,
their Affiliates nor any Person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps referred to in the preceding sentence that

Securities to be integrated with other offerings.
Section
5.31. Dilutive Effect. The Company
is aware and acknowledges that issuance of the Securities could cause dilution to existing stockholders and could significantly
increase the outstanding number of shares of Common Stock. The Company further acknowledges that its obligation to issue Shares
pursuant to the terms of a Draw Down in accordance with this
Agreement is, in each case, absolute
and unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders
of the Company.
Section

be expected to cause or result in, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company, in each case
to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Securities, or (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or paid any compensation for soliciting
purchases of, any of the Securities. Neither the Company nor any of its officers, directors or Affiliates will during the term

Registration Rights Agreement on a delayed or continuous basis under Rule 415 under the Securities Act at then-prevailing market

acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover
provision under the Company’s Charter or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the
Investor as a result of the Investor and the Company fulfilling their respective obligations or exercising their respective
rights under the Transaction Documents

ownership of the Securities.

Person acting on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, is aware of or has taken any action, directly or indirectly,
that would result in a violation by such Persons of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations
thereunder (collectively, the “FCPA”), including, without limitation, making use of the mails or any
means or instrumentality of interstate commerce corruptly in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization
of the payment of any money, or other property, gift, promise to give, or authorization of the giving of anything of value to any

participating in the offering contemplated hereby, any beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Company's outstanding voting equity

length purchaser with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company further

under this Agreement and its investment in the Securities, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, prohibit or otherwise
interfere with the ability of the Investor to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Investor shall comply with all applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act, including Regulation M thereunder, and any applicable securities laws of any non-U.S. jurisdictions.

and in which, for each fiscal year, all proper reserves for depreciation, depletion, obsolescence, amortization, taxes, bad debts
and other purposes in connection with its business shall be made. The Company shall maintain a system of internal accounting controls
that (a) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions
of the assets of the Company; (b) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation

Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of
the Company; and (c) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets
that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements (it being acknowledged and agreed that the identification
by the Company and/or its independent registered public accounting firm of any “significant deficiencies” or “material
weaknesses” (each as defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board) in the Company’s internal controls over
its financial reporting shall not, in and of itself, constitute a breach of this Section 6.5(i)).
(ii)
Subject to the requirements of Section 6.16 of this Agreement, from time to time from and after the Closing Date, the Company
shall make available for inspection and review by the Investor during normal business hours and after reasonable notice, customary
documentation reasonably requested by the Investor and/or its appointed counsel or advisors to conduct due diligence; provided,
however, that after the Closing Date, the Investor’s continued due diligence shall not be a condition to the issuance
of any Draw Down Notice or the settlement of any Draw Down.
Section
6.6. Limitations
on Holdings and Issuances. The Company shall not issue and the Investor shall not purchase any shares of Common Stock which
would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of

Promptly following any request by the Company, the Investor shall inform the Company of the number of shares of Common Stock then

all cases to Section 8.3).
(ii)
If the Company enters into any agreement, plan, arrangement or transaction with a third party or seeks to utilize any existing
agreement, plan or arrangement with a third party, in each case the principal purpose of which is to implement, effect or consummate,
at any time during the period beginning on the 10th Trading Day immediately preceding the applicable Draw Down Exercise
Date on which the Company has delivered a Draw Down Notice and ending on the second Trading Day next following the applicable True-Up

Notice”) to the Investor
not later than the earlier of (x) 24 hours after the Company’s execution of any agreement, plan, arrangement or transaction
relating to such Alternate Transaction (or, with respect to any existing agreement, plan or arrangement, 24 hours after the Company

and (y) the applicable True-Up Date. If required under applicable law, including, without limitation, Regulation FD promulgated
by the Commission, or under the applicable rules and regulations of the Trading Market, the Company shall simultaneously publicly
disclose the information included in any Alternate Transaction Notice in accordance with Regulation FD and the applicable rules
and regulations of the Trading Market. For purposes of this Section 6.7(ii), any press release issued by, or Commission Document
filed by, the Company shall constitute sufficient notice, provided that it is issued or filed, as the case may be, within the time

lower of (x) the Purchase Price therefor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (y) the third party’s per
share purchase price (or exercise or conversion price, as the case may be) in connection with the Alternate Transaction, net of
such third party’s discounts, Warrant Value and fees.
(iii)
For all purposes of this Agreement, an “Alternate Transaction” shall mean (w) the issuance of
Common Stock for a purchase price less than, or the issuance of securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock at
an exercise or conversion price (as the case may be) less than, the then Current Market Price of the Common Stock (including, without
limitation, pursuant to any “equity line” or other financing that is substantially similar to the financing provided
for under this Agreement, or pursuant to any other transaction in which the purchase, conversion or exchange price for such Common
Stock is determined using a floating discount or other post-issuance adjustable discount to the then Current Market Price (any
such transaction, a “Similar Financing”)), in each case, after all fees, discounts, Warrant Value and
commissions associated with the transaction (a “Below Market Offering”); (x) an “at-the-market”
offering of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock pursuant to Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities

into or exchangeable for Common Stock for the reset of the purchase price of the Common Stock to below the then Current Market
Price of the Common Stock (including, without limitation, any antidilution or similar adjustment provisions in respect of any Company
securities, but specifically excluding customary antidilution adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations,
recapitalizations, reclassifications and similar events) (a “Price Reset Provision”); or (z) the issuance
of options, warrants or similar rights of subscription or the issuance of convertible equity or debt securities, in each case not
constituting an Acceptable Transaction. For all purposes of this Agreement, an “Acceptable Transaction”
shall mean the issuance by the Company of: (1) debt securities or any class or series of preferred stock of the Company, in each
case that are not convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock;
(2) shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock other than in connection with a Below

is fixed concurrently with the execution of definitive documentation relating to such offering, and the issuance of shares of Common
Stock upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof; (4) shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable

Section
6.8. Corporate
Existence. The Company shall take all steps necessary to preserve and continue the corporate existence of the Company; provided,
however, that, except as provided in Section 6.9, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit the Company from
engaging in any Fundamental Transaction with another Person. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.8 shall in any
way limit the Company’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1 (subject in all cases to Section
8.3).

and all amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus that are filed with the Commission during any period
in which a Prospectus (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is required by the Securities
Act to be delivered in connection with resales of the Registrable Securities, in each case as soon as reasonably practicable after
the filing thereof with the Commission. The Company shall provide the Investor a reasonable opportunity to comment on a draft of
each such document and shall give due consideration to all such comments. The Company consents to the use of the Prospectus (and
of any Prospectus Supplement thereto) in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act and with the securities or “Blue
Sky” laws of the jurisdictions in which the Registrable Securities may be sold by the Investor, in connection with the resale
of the Registrable Securities and for such period of time thereafter as the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred
to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is required by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with resales of the
Registrable Securities. If during such period of time any event shall occur that in the reasonable judgment of the Company and
its counsel is required to be set forth in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement or should be
set forth therein in order to make the statements made therein (in the case of the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or if it is necessary to amend the Registration Statement
or supplement or amend the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement to comply with the Securities Act or any other applicable law
or regulation, the Company shall forthwith (i) notify the Investor to suspend the resale of Registrable Securities during such
period and (ii) prepare and file with the Commission an appropriate amendment to the Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement
to the Prospectus, and shall expeditiously furnish or make available to the Investor an electronic copy thereof, so as to correct
such statement or omission or effect such compliance.
Section

Statement; Prospectus Supplements. Except as provided in this Agreement and other than periodic reports required to be filed
pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Company shall not file with the Commission any amendment to the Registration Statement that relates
to the Investor, the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby or file with the Commission any Prospectus
Supplement that relates to the Investor, the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby with respect to which
(a) the Investor shall not previously have been advised, or (b) the Company shall not have given due consideration to any comments
thereon received from the Investor or its counsel, unless it is necessary to amend the Registration Statement or make any supplement
to the Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or any other applicable law or regulation, in which case the Company shall
promptly so inform the Investor, the Investor shall be provided with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon any disclosure
relating to the Investor and the Company shall expeditiously furnish to the Investor an electronic copy thereof. In addition, for
so long as, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Investor, the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in
Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is required to be delivered in connection with any sales of Registrable Securities by the
Investor, the Company shall not file any Prospectus Supplement without delivering or making available a copy of such Prospectus
Supplement to the Investor promptly.
Section
6.12. Stop Orders. The Company
shall notify the Investor as soon as possible (but in no event later than 24 hours), and confirm in writing, upon its becoming

Securities: (i) receipt of any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for any additional
information relating to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement, or for any amendment of or supplement
to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any Prospectus Supplement; (ii) the issuance by the Commission or any other federal
or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or prohibiting or
suspending the use of the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement, or of the suspension of qualification or exemption from qualification
of the Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or contemplated initiation of any proceeding for
such purpose; and (iii) any event or the existence of any condition or state of facts, which makes any statement of a material
fact made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement untrue or which requires the making of any
additions to or changes to the statements then made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement
in order to state a material fact required by the Securities Act to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
then made therein (in the case of the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made) not misleading, or which requires an amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the Prospectus or any Prospectus
Supplement to comply with the Securities Act or any other law (other than the transactions contemplated by any Draw Down Notice
and the settlement thereof). The Company shall not be required to disclose to the Investor the substance or specific reasons of
any of the events set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence, but rather, shall only be required
to disclose that the event has occurred. The Company shall not issue any Draw Down during the continuation of any of the foregoing
events. If at any time the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority shall issue any stop order suspending

(i)
Except as expressly set forth below, the Investor covenants that from and after the Closing Date through and including the

neither the Investor nor any of its Affiliates nor any entity managed or controlled by the Investor (collectively, the “Restricted
Persons” and each of the foregoing is referred to herein as a “Restricted Person”) shall,
directly or indirectly, (x) engage in any Short Sales involving the Company’s securities or (y) grant any option to purchase,
or acquire any right to dispose of or otherwise dispose for value of, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible

transfers, in whole or in part, the economic risk of ownership of the Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly
understood and agreed that nothing contained herein shall (without implication that the contrary would otherwise be true)
prohibit any Restricted Person during the Restricted Period from: (1) selling “long” (as defined under Rule 200 promulgated
under Regulation SHO) the Securities; or (2) selling a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Shares that
such Restricted Person is or may be obligated
to purchase under a pending Draw Down
Notice but has not yet taken possession of so long as such Restricted Person (or the Broker-Dealer, as applicable) delivers
the Shares purchased pursuant to such Draw Down Notice to the purchaser thereof or the applicable Broker-Dealer; provided,
however, such Restricted Person (or the applicable Broker-Dealer, as applicable) shall not be required to so deliver any
such Shares subject to such Draw Down Notice if the Company fails for any reason to deliver such Shares or Additional Shares to
the Investor on the applicable Settlement Date or True-Up Settlement Date, respectively, upon the terms and subject to the provisions
of this Agreement.
(ii)
In addition to the foregoing, in connection with any sale of Securities (including any sale permitted by paragraph (i) above),

Securities by the Investor, in each case, under applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws and shall provide evidence
of any such action so taken to the Investor from time to time following the Closing Date; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction
where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 6.15, (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such
jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.
Section
6.16. Non-Public Information.
Neither the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall disclose
any material non-public information about the Company to the Investor, unless a simultaneous public announcement thereof is made
by the Company in the manner contemplated by Regulation FD. In the event of a breach of the foregoing covenant by the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (as determined in the reasonable
good faith judgment of the Investor), (i) the Investor shall promptly provide written notice of such breach to the Company and
(ii) after such notice has been provided to the Company and in addition to any other remedy provided herein or in the other Transaction
Documents, the Investor shall have the right to make a public disclosure, in the form of a press release, public advertisement
or otherwise, of such material, non-public information without the prior approval by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any
of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents; provided that the Company shall have failed to publicly disclose
such material, non-public information within 24 hours following demand therefor by the Investor. The Investor shall not have any
liability to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, stockholders or agents,

currently engaged or used by the Company (collectively, the “Broker-Dealer”). The Investor shall, from
time to time, provide the Company with all information regarding the Broker-Dealer reasonably requested by the Company. The Investor
shall be solely responsible for all fees and commissions of the Broker-Dealer, which shall not exceed customary brokerage fees
and commissions.
Section
6.18. Disclosure Schedule.
(i)
The Company may, from time to time, update the Disclosure Schedule as may be required to satisfy the condition set forth
in Section 7.2(i). For purposes of this Section 6.18, any disclosure made in a schedule to the Compliance Certificate substantially
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D shall be deemed to be an update of the Disclosure Schedule. Notwithstanding anything
in this Agreement to the contrary, no update to the Disclosure Schedule pursuant to this Section 6.18 shall cure any breach of
a representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement and made prior to the update and shall not affect any of
the Investor’s rights or remedies with respect thereto.
(ii)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Disclosure Schedule or in this Agreement, the information and
disclosure contained in any Schedule of the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be disclosed and incorporated by reference in
any other Schedule of the Disclosure Schedule as though fully set forth in such Schedule for which applicability of such information
and disclosure is readily apparent on its face. The fact that any item of information is disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule shall
not be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed by this Agreement. Except as expressly set forth in
this Agreement, such information and the thresholds (whether based on quantity, qualitative characterization, dollar amounts or
otherwise) set forth herein shall not be used as a basis for interpreting the terms “material” or “Material Adverse
Effect” or other similar terms in this Agreement.

notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other party as provided in Section 10.4 and the transactions contemplated by this

Article
IX
INDEMNIFICATION
Section
9.1. Indemnification
of Investor. 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 the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, subject
to the provisions of this Section 9.1, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Investor, each of its directors, officers,
shareholders, members, partners, employees, representatives, agents and advisors (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent
role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title), each Person, if any, who controls
the Investor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act), and the respective
directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, representatives, agents and advisors (and any other Persons with
a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title) of such
controlling Persons (each, an “Investor Party”), from and against all losses, liabilities, obligations,
claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses (including all judgments, amounts paid in settlement, court costs, reasonable
attorneys’ fees and costs of defense and investigation) (collectively, “Damages”) that any Investor
Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party or (b) any action,
suit, claim or proceeding (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company) instituted against
such Investor Party arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents,
other than claims for indemnification within the scope of Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement; provided, however,
that (x) the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any Damages to the extent, but only to the extent, that such Damages resulted
directly and primarily from a breach of any of the Investor’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained
in this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement, and (y) the Company shall not be liable under subsection (b) of this Section
9.1 to the extent, but only to the extent, that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a final judgment (from
which no further appeals are available) that such Damages resulted directly and primarily from any acts or failures to act, undertaken
or omitted to be taken by such Investor Party through its fraud, bad faith, gross negligence, or willful or reckless misconduct.
The Company shall
reimburse any Investor Party promptly upon demand (with accompanying presentation of documentary evidence) for all legal and other
costs and expenses reasonably incurred by such Investor Party in connection with (i) any action, suit, claim or proceeding, whether
at law or in equity, to enforce compliance by the Company with any provision of the Transaction Documents or (ii) any other any
action, suit, claim or proceeding, whether at law or in equity, with respect to which it is entitled to indemnification under this
Section 9.1; provided that the Investor shall promptly reimburse the Company for all such legal
and other costs and expenses to the
extent a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any Investor Party was not entitled to such reimbursement.
An Investor Party’s
right to indemnification or other remedies based upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company
set forth in the Transaction Documents shall not in any way be affected by any investigation or knowledge of such Investor Party.
Such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of the fact that an
Investor Party knew or should have known that any representation or warranty might be inaccurate or that the Company failed to
comply with any agreement or covenant. Any investigation by such Investor Party shall be for its own protection only and shall
not affect or impair any right or remedy hereunder.
To the extent that
the foregoing undertakings by the Company set forth in this Section 9.1 may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall
make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Damages which is permissible under applicable law.
Section
9.2. Indemnification
Procedures. Promptly after an Investor Party receives notice of a claim or the commencement of an action for which the Investor
Party intends to seek indemnification under Section 9.1, the Investor Party will notify the Company in writing of the claim or
commencement of the action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that failure to notify the Company will not relieve
the Company from liability under Section 9.1, except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by the failure to give notice.
The Company will be entitled to participate in the defense of any claim, action, suit or proceeding as to which indemnification
is being sought, and if the Company acknowledges in writing the obligation to indemnify the Investor Party against whom the claim
or action is brought, the Company may (but will not be required to) assume the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding
with counsel satisfactory to it. After the Company notifies the Investor Party that the Company wishes to assume the defense of
a claim, action, suit or proceeding, the Company will not be liable for any further legal or other expenses incurred by the Investor
Party in connection with the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding except that if, in the opinion of counsel to
the Investor Party, it would be inappropriate under the applicable rules of professional responsibility for the same counsel to
represent both the Company and such Investor Party. In such event, the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of no
more than one separate counsel for all such Investor Parties promptly as such fees and expenses are incurred. Each Investor Party,
as a condition to receiving indemnification as provided in Section 9.1, will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Company
in the defense of any action or claim as to which indemnification is sought. The Company will not be liable for any settlement
of any action effected without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
The Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Investor Party, effect any settlement of a pending or threatened
action with respect to which an Investor Party is, or is informed that it may be, made a party and for which it would be entitled
to indemnification, unless the settlement includes an unconditional release of the Investor Party from all liability and claims
which are the subject matter of the pending or threatened action.
The remedies provided
for in this Article IX are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Investor
Party at law or in equity.

MISCELLANEOUS
Section
10.1. Fees and Expenses; Commitment
Shares.
(i)
Fees and Expenses. Each party shall bear its own fees and expenses related to the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company shall have paid prior to the Closing by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to an account designated by the Investor, a non-accountable and non-refundable document preparation fee of $25,000,
exclusive of disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses (the “Document Preparation Fee”), in connection
with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and legal due diligence of the Company,
it being acknowledged by the Investor that $12,500 of such Document Preparation Fee was paid by the Company to the Investor’s
counsel on August 13, 2014. For the avoidance of doubt, the Document Preparation Fee (and any portion thereof) shall be non-refundable
when paid, regardless of whether any Draw Downs are issued by the Company or settled hereunder. The Company shall pay all U.S.
federal, state and local stamp and other similar transfer and other taxes and duties levied in connection with issuance of the
Securities pursuant hereto.
(ii)
Commitment Shares. In consideration for the Investor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, concurrently
with the execution and delivery of this Agreement on the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver irrevocable instructions to its
transfer agent to issue to the Investor, not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Trading Day immediately following
the Closing Date, a certificate representing the Initial Commitment Shares in the name of the Investor or its designee (in which
case such designee name shall have been provided to the Company prior to the Closing Date). Such certificate shall be delivered
to the Investor by overnight courier at its address set forth in Section 10.4 hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, all of the Initial
Commitment Shares shall be fully earned as of the Closing Date, regardless of whether any Draw Downs are issued by the Company
or settled hereunder. Upon issuance, the Initial Commitment Shares shall constitute “restricted securities” as such
term is defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act and, subject to the provisions of subsection (iv) of this Section 10.1,
the certificate representing the Initial Commitment Shares shall bear the restrictive legend set forth below in subsection (iii)
of this Section 10.1. In addition, not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Trading Day immediately following the Effective
Date, the Company shall, or shall cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer to the Investor the Additional Commitment
Shares by crediting the Investor’s or its designees’ account (provided the Investor shall have given the Company written
notice of such designee prior to the Effective Date) at DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system, which Additional
Commitment Shares shall be freely tradable and transferable and without restriction on resale pursuant to the Registration Statement.
“Additional Commitment Shares” shall mean a number of shares of duly authorized, validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (which shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock splits, stock combinations,
stock dividends, recapitalizations and other similar transactions that occur on or after the date of this Agreement), rounded up
to the nearest whole share, equal to the greater of (I) zero and (II) the difference of (i) the quotient of (x) $150,000 divided
by (y) the greater of (A) the Effective Date Market Price and (B) $0.006, less (ii) 9,109,128; provided, however,
that in no event shall the Company issue more than an aggregate of 15,890,872 shares of Common Stock (subject to
adjustment for any stock splits, stock
combinations, stock dividends, recapitalizations and other similar transactions that occur on or after the date of this Agreement)
as Additional Commitment Shares pursuant to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, all of the Additional Commitment Shares
shall be fully earned as of the date such shares are required to be issued to the Investor under this Agreement, regardless of
whether any Draw Downs are issued by the Company or settled hereunder. The Initial Commitment Shares and the Additional Commitment
Shares shall constitute Registrable Securities and shall be included in the Registration Statement in accordance with the terms
of the Registration Rights Agreement.
(iii)
Legends. The certificate(s) representing the Initial Commitment Shares issued prior to the Effective Date,
except as set forth below, shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be
placed against transfer of such stock certificate(s)):
THE OFFER AND SALE OF THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER
(IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY), IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT
OR (II) UNLESS SOLD OR ELIGIBLE TO BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY
BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, all Shares to be issued in respect of any Draw Down Notice delivered to the Investor
pursuant to this Agreement and any Additional Commitment Shares issued after the Effective Date shall be issued to the Investor
in accordance with Section 3.2 and Section 10.1(ii), as applicable, by crediting the Investor’s or its designees’ account
at DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system, and all such Shares and Additional Commitment Shares (if any)
shall be freely tradable and transferable and without restriction on resale (and no stop-transfer order shall be placed against
transfer thereof), and the Company shall not take any action or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company otherwise.
(iv)
Removal of Legend. From and after the Effective Date, the Company shall, no later than two Trading Days following
the delivery by the Investor to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent (with notice to the Company) of a legended certificate
representing the Initial Commitment Shares (endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form
necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer, if applicable), as directed by the Investor, either: (A) issue and deliver
(or cause to be issued and delivered) to the Investor a certificate representing such Initial Commitment Shares that is free from
all restrictive
and other legends or (B) cause the Company’s
transfer agent to credit the Investor’s or its designee’s account at DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian
(DWAC) system with a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Initial Commitment Shares represented by the certificate
so delivered by the Investor (the date by which such certificate is required to be delivered to the Investor or such credit is
so required to be made to the account of the Investor or its designee at DTC pursuant to the foregoing is referred to herein as
the “Required Delivery Date”). If the Company fails on or prior to the Required Delivery Date to either
(i) issue and deliver (or cause to be issued and delivered) to the Investor a certificate representing the Initial Commitment Shares
that is free from all restrictive and other legends or (ii) cause the Company’s transfer agent to credit the balance account
of the Investor or its designee at DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system with a number of shares of Common
Stock equal to the number of Initial Commitment Shares represented by the certificate delivered by the Investor pursuant hereto,
then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Investor, the Company shall pay in cash to the Investor on each day after
the Required Delivery Date that the issuance or credit of such shares is not timely effected an amount equal to 2.0% of the product
of (A) the sum of the number of Initial Commitment Shares not issued to the Investor on a timely basis and to which the Investor
is entitled and (B) the VWAP for the five Trading Day period immediately preceding the Required Delivery Date. In addition to the
foregoing, if the Company fails to so properly deliver such unlegended certificates or so properly credit the account of the Investor
or its designee at DTC by the Required Delivery Date, and if on or after the Required Delivery Date the Investor purchases (in
an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Investor of shares
of Common Stock that the Investor anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend, then the Company shall,
within three Trading Days after the Investor’s request, pay cash to the Investor in an amount equal to the Investor’s
total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased, at which point the
Company’s obligation to deliver a certificate or credit such Investor’s or its designee’s account at DTC for
such shares of Common Stock shall terminate and such shares shall be cancelled.
Section
10.2. Specific Enforcement, Consent
to Jurisdiction, Waiver of Jury Trial.
(i)
The Company and the Investor acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions
of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed
that either party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement
by the other party and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (without the necessity of showing economic loss
and without any bond or other security being required), this being in addition to any other remedy to which either party may be
entitled by law or equity.
(ii)
Each of the Company and the Investor (a) hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court and other
courts of the United States sitting in the State of New York for the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of
or relating to this Agreement, and (b) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient
forum or that the venue of the suit, action
or proceeding is improper. Each of the
Company and the Investor consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such
party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
service of process and notice thereof. Nothing in this Section 10.2 shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other
manner permitted by law.
(iii)
EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE INVESTOR HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE
TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT
OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR DISPUTES RELATING HERETO. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE INVESTOR (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO
REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT,
IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE
BEEN TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.2.

this Agreement may be waived by the parties from and after the date that is one Trading Day immediately preceding the initial filing
of the Registration Statement with the Commission. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, no provision of this Agreement
may be waived other than in a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. No failure
or delay in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercises thereof or of any other right, power
or privilege.
Section
10.6. Headings. The article,
section and subsection headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for
any other purpose and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. Unless the context clearly
indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein
shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,”
“includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without
limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer
to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.
Section
10.7. Construction. The parties
agree that each of them and their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and,
therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall
not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents. In addition, each and every reference to share prices (including
the Floor Price) and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for any stock splits, stock
combinations, stock dividends, recapitalizations and other similar transactions that occur on or after the date of this Agreement.
Any reference in this Agreement to “Dollars” or “$” shall mean the lawful currency of the United States
of America.
Section
10.8. Successors and Assigns.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. The Company
may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder to any Person without the prior written consent of the Investor,
which may be withheld or delayed in the Investor’s sole discretion, including by any Fundamental Transaction. The Investor
may not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement.
Section
10.9. No Third Party Beneficiaries.
Except as expressly provided in Article IX, this Agreement is intended only for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.
Section
10.10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the internal procedural and substantive laws of the State of New York, without giving effect
to the choice of law provisions of such state that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
Section
10.11. Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants
and agreements of the Company and the Investor contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery hereof until
the termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) the provisions of Article V (Representations, Warranties
and Covenants of the Company), Article VIII (Termination), Article IX (Indemnification) and this Article X (Miscellaneous) shall
remain in full force and effect indefinitely notwithstanding such termination, and, (ii) so long as the Investor owns any Securities,
the covenants and agreements of the Company contained in Article VI (Additional Covenants), shall remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding such termination for a period of six months following such termination.
Section
10.12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same original and binding instrument and shall become effective
when all counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other parties hereto, it being understood that all parties
hereto need not sign the same counterpart. In
the event any signature is delivered
by facsimile, digital or electronic transmission, such transmission shall constitute delivery of the manually executed original
and the party using such means of delivery shall thereafter cause four additional executed signature pages to be physically delivered
to the other parties within five days of the execution and delivery hereof. Failure to provide or delay in the delivery of such
additional executed signature pages shall not adversely affect the efficacy of the original delivery.
Section
10.13. Publicity. The Company shall afford the Investor
and its counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon, shall consult with the Investor and its counsel on the
form and substance of, and shall give due consideration to all such comments from the Investor or its counsel on, any press release,
Commission filing or any other public disclosure made by or on behalf of the Company relating to the Investor, its purchases hereunder
or any aspect of the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, prior to the issuance, filing or public disclosure
thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be required to submit for review any such disclosure (i) contained in
periodic reports filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act if it shall have previously provided the same disclosure for
review in connection with a previous filing or (ii) any Prospectus Supplement if it contains disclosure that does not reference
the Investor, its purchases hereunder or any aspect of the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby. The
Company agrees and acknowledges that its failure to fully comply with this provision constitutes a Material Adverse Effect.
Section
10.14. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement
are severable and, in the event that any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any one or more of the provisions
or part of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or part of a provision of this
Agreement, and this Agreement shall be reformed and construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision, or part
of such provision, had never been contained herein, so that such provisions would be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum
extent possible.
Section
10.15. Further Assurances. From and after the Closing
Date, upon the request of the Investor or the Company, each of the Company and the Investor shall execute and deliver such instrument,
documents and other writings as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to confirm and carry out and to effectuate fully the intent
and purposes of this Agreement.

covering the resale by the Investor of Registrable Securities in an amount equal to 143,812,591 shares of Common Stock, 9,109,128

the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such initial Registration
Statement, and each other Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to the terms hereof, declared effective by the SEC
as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the applicable Effectiveness Deadline.

Agreement, the Company shall have no obligation to reimburse the Investor for any and all legal fees and expenses of the Legal

(c) Reserved.

Number of Shares Registered. If at any time all Registrable Securities are not covered by the initial Registration Statement

reasonable efforts to cause such additional Registration Statement(s) to become effective as soon as practicable following the
filing thereof with the SEC, but in no event later than the applicable Effectiveness Deadline for such Registration Statement.
(e) Piggyback

is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare
and file with the SEC a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities
Act of any of its equity securities (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their
then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business
or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s stock option or other employee benefit plans), then the Company
shall deliver to the Investor a written notice of such determination and, if within five (5) days after the date of the delivery

2 or otherwise to include the Registrable Securities of any Investor therein unless such Investor accepts and agrees to the terms
of the underwriting, which shall be reasonable and customary, as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected
by the Company.
(g) Offering.
If the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) or the SEC seeks to characterize any offering pursuant to a Registration
Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement as constituting an offering of securities that does not permit such Registration Statement
to become effective and be used for resales by the Investor on a delayed or continuous basis under Rule 415 at then-prevailing
market prices (and not fixed prices) (or as otherwise may be acceptable to the Investor), or if after the filing of the initial
Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a), the Company is otherwise required by the Staff or the SEC to reduce
the number of Registrable Securities included in such initial Registration Statement, then the Company shall reduce the number
of Registrable Securities to be included in such initial Registration Statement (with the prior consent of the Investor and Legal
Counsel as to the specific Registrable Securities to be removed therefrom) until such time as the Staff and the SEC shall so permit
such Registration Statement to become effective and be used as aforesaid. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
if after giving effect to the actions referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, the Staff or the SEC does not permit such
Registration Statement to become effective and be used for resales by the Investor on a delayed or continuous basis under Rule
415 at then-prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices) (or as otherwise may be acceptable to the Investor), the Company shall
not request acceleration of the Effective Date of such Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later
than 48 hours) request the withdrawal of such Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act, and the Effectiveness
Deadline shall automatically be deemed to have elapsed with respect to such Registration Statement at such time as the Staff or
the SEC has made a final and non-appealable determination that the SEC will not permit such Registration Statement to be so utilized
(unless prior to such time the Company and the Investor have received assurances from the Staff or the SEC reasonably acceptable
to Legal Counsel that a new Registration Statement
filed by the Company with the SEC promptly
thereafter may be so utilized). In the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this paragraph, the Company
shall file additional Registration Statements in accordance with Section 2(d) until such time as all Registrable Securities have
been included in Registration Statements that have been declared effective and the prospectus contained therein is available for
use by the Investor.
The Company shall
use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended
method of disposition thereof, and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:
(a) The
Company shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to the Registrable Securities (but in
no event later than the applicable Filing Deadline) and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement
to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing (but in no event later than the applicable Effectiveness Deadline).
Subject to Allowable Grace Periods, the Company shall keep each Registration Statement effective (and the prospectus contained
therein available for use) pursuant to Rule 415 for resales by the Investor on a delayed or continuous basis at then-prevailing
market prices (and not fixed prices) at all times until the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Investor may sell all of the
Registrable Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement (disregarding any reduction pursuant to Section 2(g))
without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 and without the need for current public information as required by Rule 144(c)(1) (or
Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) and (ii) the date on which the Investor shall have sold all of the Registrable Securities covered
by such Registration Statement (the “Registration Period”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement (but subject to the provisions of Section 3(q) hereof), the Company shall ensure that, when filed and
at all times while effective, each Registration Statement (including, without limitation, all amendments and supplements thereto)
and the prospectus (including, without limitation, all amendments and supplements thereto) used in connection with such Registration
Statement shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein,
or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they were
made) not misleading. The Company shall submit to the SEC, within two (2) Business Days after the later of the date that (i) the
Company learns that no review of a particular Registration Statement will be made by the Staff or that the Staff has no further
comments on a particular Registration Statement (as the case may be) and (ii) the approval of Legal Counsel is obtained pursuant
to Section 3(c) (which approval shall be promptly sought), a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement
to a time and date not later than forty-eight (48) hours after the submission of such request.
(b) Subject
to Section 3(q) of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including, without limitation,
post-effective amendments) and supplements to each Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with each such
Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, as may be necessary
to keep each such Registration Statement effective (and the prospectus contained therein current and available for use) at all
times during the Registration Period for such Registration Statement, and, during such period, comply with the
provisions of the Securities Act with
respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company required to be covered by such Registration Statement until
such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition
by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Company covenants and agrees that (i) at or before 8:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the Trading Day immediately following
each Effective Date, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act the final prospectus
to be used in connection with sales pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement, and (ii) if the transactions contemplated
by any Draw Down (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) are material to the Company (individually or collectively with all other
prior Draw Downs, the consummation of which have not previously been reported in any prospectus supplement filed with the SEC under
Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act or in any periodic report filed by the Company with the SEC under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), or if otherwise required under the Securities Act, in
each case as reasonably determined by the Company or the Investor, then, on the first Trading Day immediately following the last
Trading Day of the Pricing Period with respect to such Draw Down, the Company shall file with the SEC a prospectus supplement
pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act with respect to the applicable Draw Down(s), disclosing the total Draw Down Amount
Requested pursuant to such Draw Down(s), the total number of Shares that have been (or are to be) issued and sold to the Investor
pursuant to such Draw Down(s), the total purchase price for the Shares subject to such Draw Down(s), the applicable Discount Price(s)
for such Shares and the net proceeds that have been (or are to be) received by the Company from the sale of such Shares. To the
extent not previously disclosed in the prospectus or a prospectus supplement, the Company shall disclose in its Quarterly Reports
on Form 10-Q and in its Annual Reports on Form 10-K the information described in the immediately preceding sentence relating to
any Draw Down(s) consummated during the relevant fiscal quarter. In the case of amendments and supplements to any Registration
Statement or prospectus which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to this
Section 3(b)) by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 8-K, Form 10-Q or Form 10-K or any analogous report under the Exchange
Act, the Company shall have incorporated such report by reference into such Registration Statement and prospectus, if applicable,
or shall file such amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or prospectus with the SEC on the same day on which
the Exchange Act report is filed which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement such Registration Statement
or prospectus, for the purpose of including or incorporating such report into such Registration Statement and prospectus. The Company
consents to the use of the prospectus (including, without limitation, any supplement thereto) included in each Registration Statement
in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act and with the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the jurisdictions
in which the Registrable Securities may be sold by the Investor, in connection with the resale of the Registrable Securities and
for such period of time thereafter as such prospectus (including, without limitation, any supplement thereto) (or in lieu thereof,
the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is required by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection
with resales of Registrable Securities.
(c) The
Company shall (A) permit Legal Counsel to review and comment upon (i) each Registration Statement at least five (5) Business Days
prior to its filing with the SEC (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Investor and Legal Counsel) and (ii) all
amendments and supplements to each Registration
Statement (including, without limitation, the prospectus contained therein) (except for Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and any similar or successor reports or prospectus supplements the contents
of which is limited to that set forth in such reports) within a reasonable number of days prior to their filing with the SEC, and
(B) shall give due consideration to all comments of the Investor and Legal Counsel on any such Registration Statement or amendment
or supplement thereto or to any prospectus contained therein. The Company shall promptly furnish to Legal Counsel, without charge,
(i) electronic copies of any correspondence from the SEC or the Staff to the Company or its representatives relating to each Registration
Statement (which correspondence shall be redacted to exclude any material, non-public information regarding the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries), (ii) after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, one (1) electronic copy of each Registration
Statement and any amendment(s) and supplement(s) thereto, including, without limitation, financial statements and schedules, all
documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by the Investor, and all exhibits and (iii) upon the effectiveness
of each Registration Statement, one (1) electronic copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments
and supplements thereto. The Company shall reasonably cooperate with Legal Counsel in performing the Company’s obligations
pursuant to this Section 3.
(d) Without
limiting any obligation of the Company under the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall promptly furnish to the Investor, without
charge, (i) after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, at least one (1) electronic copy of each Registration Statement
and any amendment(s) and supplement(s) thereto, including, without limitation, financial statements and schedules, all documents
incorporated therein by reference, if requested by the Investor, all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) upon the effectiveness
of each Registration Statement, one (1) electronic copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments
and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as the Investor may reasonably request from time to time) and (iii) such
other documents, including, without limitation, copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as the Investor may reasonably request
from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the Investor.
(e) The
Company shall take such action as is necessary to (i) register and qualify, unless an exemption from registration and qualification
applies, the resale by the Investor of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities
or “Blue Sky” laws of all applicable jurisdictions in the United States, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions,
such amendments (including, without limitation, post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications
as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may
be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv)
take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions;
provided, however, the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify
to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(e), (y) subject itself
to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. The
Company shall promptly notify Legal Counsel and the Investor of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to
the suspension of the
registration or qualification of any
of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States
or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.
(f) The
Company shall notify Legal Counsel and the Investor in writing of the happening of any event, as promptly as practicable after
becoming aware of such event, as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes
an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that in no event
shall such notice contain any material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), and, subject
to Section 3(q), promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement and such prospectus contained therein
to correct such untrue statement or omission and deliver one (1) electronic copy of such supplement or amendment to Legal Counsel
and the Investor (or such other number of copies as Legal Counsel or the Investor may reasonably request). The Company shall also
promptly notify Legal Counsel and the Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment has been filed, when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such
effectiveness shall be delivered to Legal Counsel and the Investor by facsimile or e-mail on the same day of such effectiveness
and by overnight mail), and when the Company receives written notice from the SEC that a Registration Statement or any post-effective
amendment will be reviewed by the SEC, (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement
or related prospectus or related information, (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment
to a Registration Statement would be appropriate and (iv) of the receipt of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state
governmental authority for any additional information relating to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto
or any related prospectus. The Company shall respond as promptly as practicable to any comments received from the SEC with respect
to a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto. Nothing in this Section 3(f) shall limit any obligation of the Company under
the Purchase Agreement.
(g) The
Company shall (i) use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness
of a Registration Statement or the use of any prospectus contained therein, or the suspension of the qualification, or the loss
of an exemption from qualification, of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or
suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible time and (ii) notify Legal
Counsel and the Investor of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation
or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.
(h) Upon the
written request of the Investor, the Company shall make available for inspection during normal business hours by (i) the Investor,
(ii) Legal Counsel and (iii) one (1) firm of accountants or other agents retained by such Investor (collectively, the “Inspectors”),
all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”),
as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply
all information which any Inspector may reasonably request; provided, however, each Inspector shall agree in
writing to hold in strict confidence
and not to make any disclosure (except to the Investor) or use of any Record or other information which the Company’s board
of directors determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (a)
the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is
otherwise required under the Securities Act, (b) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena
or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information in such Records has been made generally
available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (as defined in
the Purchase Agreement). The Investor agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a
court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company,
at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed
confidential. Nothing herein (or in any other confidentiality agreement between the Company and the Investor, if any) shall be
deemed to limit the Investor’s ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner which is otherwise consistent with applicable
laws and regulations.
(i) The Company
shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning the Investor provided to the Company unless (i)
disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information
is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required to be disclosed
in such Registration Statement pursuant to the Securities Act, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena
or other final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has
been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning the Investor is sought in or by
a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to the Investor and allow
the Investor, at the Investor’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective
order for, such information.
(j) Without
limiting any obligation of the Company under the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts either to
(i) cause all of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on
which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable
Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange or (ii) secure designation and quotation of all of the Registrable
Securities covered by each Registration Statement on another Trading Market, or (iii) if, despite the Company’s reasonable
best efforts to satisfy the preceding clauses (i) or (ii) the Company is unsuccessful in satisfying the preceding clauses (i) or
(ii), without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for at least two market makers
to register with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) as such with respect to such Registrable
Securities. In addition, the Company shall cooperate with the Investor and any Broker-Dealer through which the Investor proposes
to sell its Registrable Securities in effecting a filing with FINRA pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110 as requested by the Investor. The
Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section 3(j).
(k) The Company
shall cooperate with the Investor and, to the extent applicable, facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates
(not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement
and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts (as the case may be) as the Investor may reasonably request
from time to time and registered in such names as the Investor may request. Certificates for Registrable Securities free from all
restrictive legends may be transmitted by the transfer agent to the Investor by crediting an account at DTC as directed by the
Investor.
(l) If requested
by the Investor, the Company shall as soon as practicable after receipt of notice from the Investor and subject to Section 3(q)
hereof, (i) incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the Investor reasonably requests
to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information
with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other
terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement or prospectus contained therein
if reasonably requested by the Investor.
(m) The Company
shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be registered
with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable
Securities.
(n) The Company
shall make generally available to its security holders as soon as practical, but not later than ninety (90) days after the close
of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying with, and in the manner provided by, the provisions of
Rule 158 under the Securities Act) covering a twelve-month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company’s
fiscal quarter next following the applicable Effective Date of each Registration Statement.
(o) The Company
shall otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with
any registration hereunder.
(p) Within one
(1) Business Day after each Registration Statement which covers Registrable Securities is declared effective by the SEC, the Company
shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities
(with copies to the Investor) confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A.
(q) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein (but subject to the last sentence of this Section 3(q)), at any time after the Effective Date of
a particular Registration Statement, the Company may delay the disclosure of material, non-public information concerning the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the board of directors of the
Company, in the best interest of the Company and, in the
opinion of counsel to the Company, otherwise
required (a “Grace Period”), provided that the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than 9:30
a.m. (New York City time) on the second Trading Day immediately prior to the commencement of any Grace Period (except for such
case where it is impossible to provide such two-Trading Day advance notice, in which case the Company shall provide such notice
as soon as possible), notify the Investor in writing of the (i) existence of material, non-public information giving rise to a
Grace Period (provided that in each such notice the Company shall not disclose the content of such material, non-public information
to the Investor) and the date on which such Grace Period will begin and (ii) date on which such Grace Period ends, provided
further that (I) no Grace Period shall exceed 20 consecutive Trading Days and during any 365-day period all such Grace Periods
shall not exceed an aggregate of 60 Trading Days; provided, further, that the Company shall not register any securities for the
account of itself or any other stockholder during any such Grace Period (other than pursuant to a registration statement on Form
S-4 or S-8), (II) the first day of any Grace Period must be at least three Trading Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed
by the parties) after the last day of any prior Grace Period and (III) no Grace Period may exist during (A) the first 10 consecutive
Trading Days after the Effective Date of the particular Registration Statement or (B) the five-Trading Day period following each
Settlement Date (each, an “Allowable Grace Period”). For purposes of determining the length of a Grace
Period above, such Grace Period shall begin on and include the date set forth in the notice referred to in clause (i) above, provided
that such notice is received by the Investor not later than 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Trading Day immediately
prior to such commencement date (except for such case where it is impossible to provide such two-Trading Day advance notice, in
which case the Company shall provide such notice as soon as possible) and shall end on and include the later of the date the Investor
receives the notice referred to in clause (ii) above and the date referred to in such notice. The provisions of Section 3(l) hereof
shall not be applicable during the period of any Allowable Grace Period. Upon expiration of each Grace Period, the Company shall
again be bound by the first sentence of Section 3(f) with respect to the information giving rise thereto unless such material,
non-public information is no longer applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3(q), the Company
shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of the Investor in accordance with
the terms of the Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which the Investor has
entered into a contract for sale, and delivered a copy of the prospectus included as part of the particular Registration Statement
to the extent applicable, prior to the Investor’s receipt of the notice of a Grace Period and for which the Investor has
not yet settled.
(r) The Company
shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by the Investor of its Registrable Securities
pursuant to each Registration Statement.
| 4. | Obligations of the Investor. |
(a) At least
five Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of each Registration Statement (or such shorter period to which the
parties agree), the Company shall notify the Investor in writing of the information the Company requires from the Investor with
respect to such Registration Statement. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration
pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable
Securities of the Investor that the
Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended
method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it, as shall be reasonably required to effect and maintain the effectiveness
of the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the
Company may reasonably request.
(b) The Investor,
by its acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in
connection with the preparation and filing of each Registration Statement hereunder, unless the Investor has notified the Company
in writing of the Investor’s election to exclude all of the Investor’s Registrable Securities from such Registration
Statement.
(c) The
Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section
3(g) or the first sentence of 3(f), the Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to
any Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until the Investor’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented
or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(g) or the first sentence of Section 3(f) or receipt of notice that no supplement
or amendment is required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(c), the Company shall cause its transfer agent
to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of the Investor in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement
in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which the Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior
to the Investor’s receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(g)
or the first sentence of Section 3(f) and for which the Investor has not yet settled.
(d) The Investor
covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery and other requirements of the Securities Act as applicable
to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.
| 5. | Expenses of Registration. |
All reasonable expenses,
other than underwriting discounts and commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant
to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting
fees, FINRA filing fees (if any) and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be paid by the Company.
(a) In
the event any Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement under this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Investor, each of its directors, officers, shareholders,
members, partners, employees, agents, advisors, representatives (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a
Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title) and each Person, if any, who controls the
Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each of the directors, officers, shareholders, members,
partners, employees, agents, advisors,
representatives (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the
lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling Persons (each, an “Investor Party” and collectively,
the “Investor Parties”), against any losses, obligations, claims, damages, liabilities, contingencies,
judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs (including, without limitation, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs
of defense and investigation), amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”)
incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from
the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending
or threatened, whether or not an Investor Party is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”),
to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration
Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under
the securities or other “Blue Sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue
Sky Filing”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in any prospectus (as amended or supplemented) or in any prospectus supplement or the omission or alleged omission to state therein
any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein
were made, not misleading (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being, collectively, “Violations”).
Subject to Section 6(c), the Company shall reimburse the Investor Parties, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and
payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such
Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a):
(i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Investor Party arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and
in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Investor Party for such Investor Party expressly for
use in connection with the preparation of such Registration Statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement or any such amendment
thereof or supplement thereto; (ii) shall not be available to the Investor to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the
Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus (as amended or supplemented) made available by the Company (to the
extent applicable), including, without limitation, a corrected prospectus, if such prospectus (as amended or supplemented) or corrected
prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(d) and then only if, and to the extent that, following
the receipt of the corrected prospectus no grounds for such Claim would have existed; and (iii) shall not apply to amounts paid
in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made
by or on behalf of the Investor Party and shall survive the transfer of any of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant
to Section 9.
(b) In
connection with any Registration Statement in which the Investor is participating, the Investor agrees to severally and not jointly
indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each
of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if
any, who controls the Company within
the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Company Party”), against any Claim or
Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as
such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case, to the extent, and only to the extent,
that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information relating to the Investor furnished to the
Company by the Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6(c) and the
below provisos in this Section 6(b), the Investor will reimburse a Company Party any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by such Company Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, the indemnity
agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply
to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Investor, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided further that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b)
for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to the Investor as a result of the applicable
sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless
of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Company Party and shall survive the transfer of any of the Registrable Securities
by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.
(c) Promptly
after receipt by an Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of
any action or proceeding (including, without limitation, any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Investor
Party or Company Party (as the case may be) shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under
this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and 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 satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the
Investor Party or the Company Party (as the case may be); provided, however, an Investor Party or Company Party (as
the case may be) shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the indemnifying
party if: (i) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the indemnifying party shall have
failed promptly to assume the defense of such Claim and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Investor Party or Company
Party (as the case may be) in any such Claim; or (iii) the named parties to any such Claim (including, without limitation, any
impleaded parties) include both such Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) and the indemnifying party, and such
Investor Party or such Company Party (as the case may be) shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely
to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Investor Party or such Company Party and the indemnifying party (in which case,
if such Investor Party or such Company Party (as the case may be) notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to
employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, then the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume
the defense thereof on behalf of the indemnified party and such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party, provided
further that in the case of clause (iii) above the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses
of more than one (1) separate legal counsel for all Investor Parties or Company Parties (as the case may be). The Company Party
or Investor Party (as the case may be) shall reasonably cooperate 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 Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) which relates to such action or
Claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) reasonably apprised at all times
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,
the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the
prior written consent of the Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be), 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 Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) of a release from all liability in respect to such Claim or litigation,
and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Company Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the
immediately preceding sentence shall apply to Sections 6(a) and 6(b) hereof. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder,
the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) with respect
to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver
written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such
indemnifying party of any liability to the Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) under this Section 6, except to
the extent that the indemnifying party is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
(d) No Person
involved in the sale of Registrable Securities who is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f)
of the Securities Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to indemnification from any Person involved in such sale
of Registrable Securities who is not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation.
(e) The indemnification
required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense,
as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred; provided that the Investor shall promptly reimburse
the Company for all such payments to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any Investor Party was not entitled
to such payments.
(f) The indemnity
and contribution agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Company Party
or Investor Party against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant
to the law.
To the extent any
indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution
with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided,
however: (i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification
under the fault standards set forth in Section 6 of
this Agreement, (ii) no Person involved
in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f)
of the Securities Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person involved in such sale of
Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (iii) contribution by any seller of Registrable
Securities shall be limited in amount to the amount of net proceeds received by such seller from the applicable sale of such Registrable
Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, the Investor shall not be
required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by the
Investor from the applicable sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Claim exceeds the amount of any damages that the
Investor has otherwise been required to pay, or would otherwise be required to pay under Section 6(b), by reason of such untrue
or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
| 8. | Reports Under the Exchange Act. |
With a view to making
available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144, the Company agrees to:
(a) use its reasonable
best efforts to make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
(b) use its reasonable
best efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements (it being understood that nothing herein shall
limit any of the Company’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement) and the filing of such reports and other documents is
required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144;
(c) furnish to
the Investor so long as the Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company,
if true, that it has complied with the reporting, submission and posting requirements of Rule 144 and the Exchange Act, (ii) a
copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company
with the SEC if such reports are not publicly available via EDGAR, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested
to permit the Investor to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration; and
(d) take such
additional action as is reasonably requested by the Investor to enable the Investor to sell the Registrable Securities pursuant
to Rule 144, including, without limitation, delivering all such legal opinions, consents, certificates, resolutions and instructions
to the Company’s Transfer Agent as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Investor and otherwise fully cooperate
with Investor and Investor’s broker to effect such sale of securities pursuant to Rule 144.
| 9. | Assignment of Registration Rights. |
The Company shall
not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Investor. The Investor
may not assign its rights under this Agreement other than to an affiliate of the Investor.
No provision of
this Agreement may be amended or waived by the parties from and after the date that is one Trading Day immediately preceding the
initial filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, no provision of this
Agreement may be (i) amended other than by a written instrument signed by both parties hereto or (ii) waived other than in a written
instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. Failure of any party to exercise any right or
remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver
thereof.
(a) Solely for
purposes of this Agreement, a Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns or is deemed
to own of record such Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or
more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election
received from such record owner of such Registrable Securities.
(b) Any notices,
consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement shall be given in
accordance with Section 10.4 of the Purchase Agreement.
(c) Failure of
any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy,
shall not operate as a waiver thereof. The Company and the Investor acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in
the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise
breached. It is accordingly agreed that either party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches
of the provisions of this Agreement by the other party and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (without the
necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required), this being in addition to any other
remedy to which either party may be entitled by law or equity.
(d) All questions
concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws
of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State
of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State
of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts sitting in The City of New
York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated
hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an
inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal
service of process and consents to process being served in any such
suit, action or proceeding by mailing
a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute
good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right
to serve process in any manner permitted by law. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction,
such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that
jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. EACH PARTY HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER
OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
(e) The Transaction
Documents set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties solely with respect to the subject matter thereof and
supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, negotiations and understandings between the parties, both oral and written,
solely with respect to such matters. There are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by either party relative
to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary and without implication that the contrary would otherwise be true, nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit, modify
or affect in any manner whatsoever (i) the conditions precedent to a Draw Down contained in Article VII of the Purchase Agreement,
including, without limitation, the condition precedent contained in Section 7.2(iii) thereof or (ii) any of the Company’s
obligations under the Purchase Agreement.
(f) Subject to
compliance with Section 9, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the permitted successors and assigns
of each of the parties hereto. This Agreement is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any Person,
other than the parties hereto, their respective permitted successors and assigns and the Persons referred to in Sections 6 and
7 hereof.
(g) The headings
in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. Unless the
context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and
plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import
shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,”
“hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.
(h) This Agreement
may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become
effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. If any signature is delivered by facsimile
transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page, such signature
page shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the
same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.
(i) Each party
shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such
other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent
and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
(j) The language
used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent and no rules of strict
construction will be applied against any party.

Re: Bioheart, Inc.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
[We are][I am] counsel
to Bioheart, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), and have represented the Company in connection
with that certain Common Stock Purchase Agreement, dated October 23, 2014 (the “Purchase Agreement”),
entered into by and among the Company and the Investor named therein (the “Holder”) pursuant to which
the Company will issue to the Holder from time to time shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the ”Common
Stock”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with
the Holder (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things,
to register the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In connection with the Company’s obligations under
the Registration Rights Agreement, on ____________ ___, 2014, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No.
333-_____________) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
relating to the Registrable Securities which names the Holder as an underwriter and a selling stockholder thereunder.
In connection with
the foregoing, based solely upon oral advice from the staff of the SEC, the Registration Statement was declared effective under
the Securities Act on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS], and no stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued and no proceedings
for that purpose have been instituted or overtly threatened.
This letter shall
serve as our standing opinion to you that the shares of Common Stock are freely transferable by the Holder pursuant to the Registration
Statement, provided the Registration Statement remains effective.
Very truly yours,
[ISSUER’S COUNSEL]

SELLING
STOCKHOLDER
This prospectus
relates to the possible resale from time to time by the selling stockholder of any or all of the shares of common stock that have
been or may be issued by us to MEII under the Purchase Agreement. For additional information regarding the issuance of common stock
covered by this prospectus, see “Equity Enhancement Program With MEII” above. We are registering the shares of common
stock pursuant to the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement we entered into with MEII on October 23, 2014 in order to
permit the selling stockholder to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the transactions contemplated by the
Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, MEII has not had any material relationship with us within the past three
years.
The table below
presents information regarding the selling stockholder and the shares of common stock that it may offer from time to time under
this prospectus. This table is prepared based on information supplied to us by the selling stockholder, and reflects holdings as
of _______________, 2014. As used in this prospectus, the term “selling stockholder” means MEII. The number of shares
in the column “Maximum Number of Shares of Common Stock to be Offered Pursuant to this Prospectus” represents all of
the shares of common stock that the selling stockholder may offer under this prospectus. The selling stockholder may sell some,
all or none of its shares in this offering. We do not know how long the selling stockholder will hold the shares before selling
them, and we currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the selling stockholder regarding the sale of any
of the shares.
Beneficial ownership
is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act, and includes shares of common stock
with respect to which the selling stockholder has voting and investment power. The percentage of shares of common stock beneficially
owned by the selling stockholder prior to the offering shown in the table below is based on an aggregate of ____________ shares
of our common stock outstanding on _________________, 2014. Because the purchase price of the shares of common stock issuable under
the Purchase Agreement is determined on each settlement date, the number of shares that may actually be sold by the Company under
the Purchase Agreement may be fewer than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus. The fourth column assumes the sale
of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholder pursuant to this prospectus.

| (1) | This number represents (i) __________ shares of common stock underlying a senior convertible note
we issued to MEII on October 7, 2014, which provides that we may not issue shares of our common stock to Magna to the extent that
Magna or any of its affiliates would, at any time, beneficially own more than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock, and (ii) the
9,109,128 shares of common stock we issued to MEII on October 23, 2014 as Initial Commitment Shares in consideration for entering
into the Purchase Agreement with us. In accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) under the Exchange Act, we have excluded from the number
of shares beneficially owned prior to the offering (i) up to __________shares that may be issued to MEII as Additional Commitment
Shares under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, because the issuance of such shares is dependent on, among other things, the
registration statement of which this prospectus is a part becoming effective and (ii) all of the shares that MEII may be required
to purchase pursuant to draw downs under the Purchase Agreement, because the issuance of such shares is solely at our discretion
and is subject to certain conditions, the satisfaction of all of which are outside of MEII’s control, including the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part becoming and remaining effective. Furthermore, the maximum amount of each put of common
stock to MEII under the Purchase Agreement is subject to certain agreed upon threshold limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
Also, under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we may not issue shares of our common stock to MEII to the extent that MEII or
any of its affiliates would, at any time, beneficially own more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock. |
| (2) | Applicable percentage ownership is based on _________ shares of our common stock outstanding as
of ___________2014. |
| (3) | Assumes the sale of all shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus. |
| (4) | The business address of MEII is c/o Magna, 5 Hanover Square, New York, New York 10004. MEII’s
principal business is that of a private investment firm. We have been advised that MEII is not a member of the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, or an independent broker-dealer, and that neither MEII nor any of its affiliates is an affiliate
or an associated person of any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer. We have been further advised that Joshua Sason is the
Chief Executive Officer and managing member of MEII and owns all of the membership interests in MEII, and that Mr. Sason has sole
power to vote or to direct the vote and sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of all securities owned directly by
MEII. |
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering
shares of common stock that have been or may be issued by us from time to time to MEII under the Purchase Agreement to permit the
resale of these shares of common stock after the issuance thereof by the selling stockholder from time to time after the date of
this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholder of the shares of common stock.
We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock.
The selling stockholder
may decide not to sell any shares of common stock. The selling stockholder may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock
beneficially owned by it and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents,
who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholder and/or the purchasers
of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent. In effecting sales, broker-dealers that are engaged by the selling
stockholder may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. MEII is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the
Securities Act. Any brokers, dealers or agents who participate in the distribution of the shares of common stock by the selling
stockholder may also be deemed to be “underwriters,” and any profits on the sale of the shares of common stock by them
and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any such brokers, dealers or agents may be deemed to be underwriting
discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. MEII has advised us that it will use an unaffiliated broker-dealer to effectuate
all resales of our common stock. To our knowledge, MEII has not entered into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any
particular broker-dealer or market maker with respect to the shares of common stock offered hereby, nor do we know the identity
of the broker-dealers or market makers that may participate in the resale of the shares. Because MEII is, and any other selling
stockholder, broker, dealer or agent may be deemed to be, an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act,
MEII will (and any other selling stockholder, broker, dealer or agent may) be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of
the Securities Act and may be subject to certain statutory liabilities of the Securities Act (including, without limitation, Sections
11, 12 and 17 thereof) and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act.
The selling stockholder
will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. The shares of common
stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying
prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve
crosses or block transactions, pursuant to one or more of the following methods:
| · | on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed
or quoted at the time of sale; |
| · | in the over-the-counter market in accordance with the rules of NASDAQ; |
| · | in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market; |
| · | through the writing or settlement of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange
or otherwise; |
| · | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
| · | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position
and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| · | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
| · | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
| · | privately negotiated transactions; |
| · | broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of such shares
at a stipulated price per share; |
| · | a combination of any such methods of sale; and |
| · | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
In addition, the
selling stockholder may transfer the shares of common stock by other means not described in this prospectus.
Any broker-dealer
participating in such transactions as agent may receive commissions from the selling stockholder (and, if they act as agent for
the purchaser of such shares, from such purchaser). MEII has informed us that each such broker-dealer will receive commissions
from MEII which will not exceed customary brokerage commissions. Broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholder to sell
a specified number of shares at a stipulated price per share, and, to the extent such a broker-dealer is unable to do so acting
as agent for the selling stockholder, to purchase as principal any unsold shares at the price required to fulfill the broker-dealer
commitment to the selling stockholder. Broker-dealers who acquire shares as principal may thereafter resell such shares from time
to time in one or more transactions (which may involve crosses and block transactions and which may involve sales to and through
other broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above and pursuant to the one or more of the methods described
above) at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale,
or at negotiated prices, and in connection with such resales may pay to or receive from the purchasers of such shares commissions
computed as described above. To the extent required under the Securities Act, an amendment to this prospectus or a supplemental
prospectus will be filed, disclosing:
| · | the name of any such broker-dealers; |
| · | the number of shares involved; |
| · | the price at which such shares are to be sold; |
| · | the commission paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealers, where applicable; |
| · | that such broker-dealers did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or
incorporated by reference in this prospectus, as supplemented; and |
| · | other facts material to the transaction. |
MEII has informed
us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute
the common stock.
Under the securities
laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.
In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for
sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
There can be no
assurance that the selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the registration
statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.
Underwriters and
purchasers that are deemed underwriters under the Securities Act may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise
affect the price of the common stock, including the entry of stabilizing bids or syndicate covering transactions or the imposition
of penalty bids. The selling stockholder and any other person participating in the sale or distribution of the shares of common
stock will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder (including, without
limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act), which may restrict certain activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and
sales of any of the shares of common stock by, the selling stockholder and any other participating person. To the extent applicable,
Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in
market-making and certain other activities with respect to the shares of common stock. In addition, the anti-manipulation rules
under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of the shares of common stock in the market. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability
of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the
shares of common stock.
We have agreed to
pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock pursuant to the registration rights agreement, estimated to
be $[ ] in total, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and
expenses of compliance with state securities or “Blue Sky” laws; provided, however, MEII will pay all selling commissions,
concessions and discounts, and other amounts payable to underwriters, dealers or agents, if any, as well as transfer taxes and
certain other expenses associated with the sale of the shares of common stock. We have agreed to indemnify MEII and certain other
persons against certain liabilities in connection with the offering of shares of common stock offered hereby, including
liabilities arising under the Securities
Act or, if such indemnity is unavailable, to contribute amounts required to be paid in respect of such liabilities. MEII has agreed
to indemnify us against liabilities under the Securities Act that may arise from any written information furnished to us by MEII
specifically for use in this prospectus or, if such indemnity is unavailable, to contribute amounts required to be paid in respect
of such liabilities.
At any time a particular
offer of the shares of common stock is made by the selling stockholder, a revised prospectus or prospectus supplement, if required,
will be distributed. Such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
to reflect the disclosure of any required additional information with respect to the distribution of the shares of common stock.
We may suspend the sale of shares by the selling stockholder pursuant to this prospectus for certain periods of time for certain
reasons, including if the prospectus is required to be supplemented or amended to include additional material information.

DISCLOSURE
SCHEDULE
RELATING TO THE COMMON STOCK
PURCHASE AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF OCTOBER 23, 2014
BETWEEN BIOHEART, INC. AND MAGNA EQUITIES II, LLC
This disclosure
schedule is made and given pursuant to Article V of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 23, 2014 (the “Agreement”),
by and between Bioheart, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), and Magna Equities II, LLC, a New
York limited liability company. Unless the context otherwise requires, all capitalized terms are used herein as defined in the
Agreement. The numbers below correspond to the section numbers of representations and warranties in the Agreement most directly
modified by the below exceptions.
Schedule 5.6(c)
Under the supervision
and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, an evaluation was
performed on the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period
covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our CEO and Principal Financial and Accounting
Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report
due to the Company’s limited resources and limited number of employees. To mitigate the current limited resources and limited
employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of legal and outsourced accounting
professionals. As we grow, we expect to increase our number of employees, which, we believe, will enable us to implement adequate
segregation of duties within the internal control framework.

| 1. | The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the State of Florida, with full corporate power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as described

in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification
necessary, except for any jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect. |
| 2. | The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its
obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to issue the Securities in accordance with the terms thereof.
The execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and the consummation by the Company
of the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Securities) have been duly and validly
authorized by all necessary corporate action and, except for any consent or authorization of the Company’s Board of Directors
or a committee thereof in connection with the delivery of a Draw Down Notice to the Investor, no further consent or authorization

affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including
principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding
at law or in equity). |

of Delaware or any federal or Florida statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company that have not been obtained or made;
(iv) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under,
or give to others any rights of termination, |
amendment, acceleration or cancellation
of, any material agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation
to which the Company is a party or is bound that has been filed as an exhibit to the 2013 Form 10-K or any other Commission Document
filed after the 2013 Form 10-K; (v) create or impose a lien, charge or encumbrance on any property of the Company under any agreement
or commitment to which the Company is a party or is bound that has been filed as an exhibit to the 2013 Form 10-K or any other
Commission Document filed after the 2013 Form 10-K; or (vi) to our knowledge, result in a violation of any federal or state order,
judgment or decree applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries are bound or affected.

and your compliance with the covenants made by you in the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, the offering,
sale and issuance of the Securities in accordance with the Transaction Documents is exempt from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). |
| 6. | When issued in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the Initial Commitment Shares and the Additional
Commitment Shares will be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all liens, charges,
taxes, security interests, encumbrances, rights of first refusal, preemptive or similar rights and other encumbrances under the
Company’s Governing Documents, the laws of the State of Delaware or any material agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture,
note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Company is a party or is bound that has been filed
as an exhibit to the 2013 Form 10-K or any other Commission Document filed after the 2013 Form 10-K. When issued and paid for in
accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the Shares will be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free
and clear of all liens, charges, taxes, security interests, encumbrances, rights of first refusal, preemptive or similar rights

or is bound that has been filed as an exhibit to the 2013 Form 10-K or any other Commission Document filed after the 2013 Form
10-K. To our knowledge, the execution and delivery of the Registration Rights Agreement do not, and the performance by the Company
of its obligations thereunder shall not, give rise to any rights of any other person for the registration under the Securities
Act of any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company which have not been waived. |

threatened against or involving
the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties or assets.

company,” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. |

as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the applicable Effectiveness Deadline.
(b) Legal
Counsel. Subject to Section 5 hereof, the Investor shall have the right to select one legal counsel to review and oversee,
solely on its behalf, any registration pursuant to this Section 2 (“Legal Counsel”), which shall be Greenberg
Traurig, LLP or such other counsel as thereafter designated by the Investor. Except as provided under Section 10.1(i) of the Purchase
Agreement, the Company shall have no obligation to reimburse the Investor for any and all legal fees and expenses of the Legal
Counsel incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.
(c) Reserved.
(d) Sufficient
Number of Shares Registered. If at any time all Registrable Securities are not covered by the initial Registration Statement
filed pursuant to Section 2(a) as a result of Section 2(h) or otherwise, the Company shall file with the SEC one or more additional
Registration Statements (on the short form available therefor, if applicable), so as to cover all of the Registrable Securities
not covered by such initial Registration Statement, in each case, as soon as practicable (taking into account any Staff position
with respect to date on which the Staff will permit such additional Registration Statement(s) to be filed with the SEC), but in
no event later than the applicable Filing Deadline for such additional Registration Statement(s). The Company shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to cause such additional Registration Statement(s) to become effective as soon as practicable following the
filing thereof with the SEC, but in no event later than the applicable Effectiveness Deadline for such Registration Statement.
(e) Piggyback
Registrations. Without limiting any of the Company’s obligations hereunder or under the Purchase Agreement, if there
is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare
and file with the SEC a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities
Act of any of its equity securities (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their
then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business
or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s stock option or other employee benefit plans), then the Company
shall deliver to the Investor a written notice of such determination and, if within five (5) days after the date of the delivery
of such notice, the Investor shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part
of such Registrable Securities the offer and sale of which the Investor requests to be registered.
(f) No Inclusion
of Other Securities. In no event shall the Company include any securities other than Registrable Securities on any Registration
Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) or 2(d) without the prior written consent of the Investor. Subject to the proviso in Section
2(e), in connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares, the Company shall not be required under this Section
2 or otherwise to include the Registrable Securities of any Investor therein unless such Investor accepts and agrees to the terms
of the underwriting, which shall be reasonable and customary, as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected
by the Company.
(g) Offering.
If the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) or the SEC seeks to characterize any offering pursuant to a Registration
Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement as constituting an offering of securities that does not permit such Registration Statement
to become effective and be used for resales by the Investor on a delayed or continuous basis under Rule 415 at then-prevailing
market prices (and not fixed prices) (or as otherwise may be acceptable to the Investor), or if after the filing of the initial
Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a), the Company is otherwise required by the Staff or the SEC to reduce
the number of Registrable Securities included in such initial Registration Statement, then the Company shall reduce the number
of Registrable Securities to be included in such initial Registration Statement (with the prior consent of the Investor and Legal
Counsel as to the specific Registrable Securities to be removed therefrom) until such time as the Staff and the SEC shall so permit
such Registration Statement to become effective and be used as aforesaid. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
if after giving effect to the actions referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, the Staff or the SEC does not permit such
Registration Statement to become effective and be used for resales by the Investor on a delayed or continuous basis under Rule
415 at then-prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices) (or as otherwise may be acceptable to the Investor), the Company shall
not request acceleration of the Effective Date of such Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later
than 48 hours) request the withdrawal of such Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act, and the Effectiveness
Deadline shall automatically be deemed to have elapsed with respect to such Registration Statement at such time as the Staff or
the SEC has made a final and non-appealable determination that the SEC will not permit such Registration Statement to be so utilized
(unless prior to such time the Company and the Investor have received assurances from the Staff or the SEC reasonably acceptable
to Legal Counsel that a new Registration Statement
filed by the Company with the SEC promptly
thereafter may be so utilized). In the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this paragraph, the Company
shall file additional Registration Statements in accordance with Section 2(d) until such time as all Registrable Securities have
been included in Registration Statements that have been declared effective and the prospectus contained therein is available for
use by the Investor.
The Company shall
use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended
method of disposition thereof, and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:
(a) The Company
shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to the Registrable Securities (but in no event
later than the applicable Filing Deadline) and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to
become effective as soon as practicable after such filing (but in no event later than the applicable Effectiveness Deadline). Subject
to Allowable Grace Periods, the Company shall keep each Registration Statement effective (and the prospectus contained therein
available for use) pursuant to Rule 415 for resales by the Investor on a delayed or continuous basis at then-prevailing market
prices (and not fixed prices) at all times until the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Investor may sell all of the Registrable
Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement (disregarding any reduction pursuant to Section 2(g)) without
restriction pursuant to Rule 144 and without the need for current public information as required by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2),
if applicable) and (ii) the date on which the Investor shall have sold all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration
Statement (the “Registration Period”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement
(but subject to the provisions of Section 3(q) hereof), the Company shall ensure that, when filed and at all times while effective,
each Registration Statement (including, without limitation, all amendments and supplements thereto) and the prospectus (including,
without limitation, all amendments and supplements thereto) used in connection with such Registration Statement shall not contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the
statements therein (in the case of prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading. The
Company shall submit to the SEC, within two (2) Business Days after the later of the date that (i) the Company learns that no review
of a particular Registration Statement will be made by the Staff or that the Staff has no further comments on a particular Registration
Statement (as the case may be) and (ii) the approval of Legal Counsel is obtained pursuant to Section 3(c) (which approval shall
be promptly sought), a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date not later than
forty-eight (48) hours after the submission of such request.
(b) Subject to
Section 3(q) of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including, without limitation,
post-effective amendments) and supplements to each Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with each such
Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, as may be necessary
to keep each such Registration Statement effective (and the prospectus contained therein current and available for use) at all
times during the Registration Period for such Registration Statement, and, during such period, comply with the
provisions of the Securities Act with
respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company required to be covered by such Registration Statement until
such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition
by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Company covenants and agrees that (i) at or before 8:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the Trading Day immediately following
each Effective Date, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act the final prospectus
to be used in connection with sales pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement, and (ii) if the transactions contemplated
by any Draw Down (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) are material to the Company (individually or collectively with all other
prior Draw Downs, the consummation of which have not previously been reported in any prospectus supplement filed with the SEC under
Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act or in any periodic report filed by the Company with the SEC under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), or if otherwise required under the Securities Act, in
each case as reasonably determined by the Company or the Investor, then, on the first Trading Day immediately following the last
Trading Day of the Pricing Period with respect to such Draw Down, the Company shall file with the SEC a prospectus supplement
pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act with respect to the applicable Draw Down(s), disclosing the total Draw Down Amount
Requested pursuant to such Draw Down(s), the total number of Shares that have been (or are to be) issued and sold to the Investor
pursuant to such Draw Down(s), the total purchase price for the Shares subject to such Draw Down(s), the applicable Discount Price(s)
for such Shares and the net proceeds that have been (or are to be) received by the Company from the sale of such Shares. To the
extent not previously disclosed in the prospectus or a prospectus supplement, the Company shall disclose in its Quarterly Reports
on Form 10-Q and in its Annual Reports on Form 10-K the information described in the immediately preceding sentence relating to
any Draw Down(s) consummated during the relevant fiscal quarter. In the case of amendments and supplements to any Registration
Statement or prospectus which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to this
Section 3(b)) by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 8-K, Form 10-Q or Form 10-K or any analogous report under the Exchange
Act, the Company shall have incorporated such report by reference into such Registration Statement and prospectus, if applicable,
or shall file such amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or prospectus with the SEC on the same day on which
the Exchange Act report is filed which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement such Registration Statement
or prospectus, for the purpose of including or incorporating such report into such Registration Statement and prospectus. The Company
consents to the use of the prospectus (including, without limitation, any supplement thereto) included in each Registration Statement
in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act and with the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the jurisdictions
in which the Registrable Securities may be sold by the Investor, in connection with the resale of the Registrable Securities and
for such period of time thereafter as such prospectus (including, without limitation, any supplement thereto) (or in lieu thereof,
the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is required by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection
with resales of Registrable Securities.
(c) The Company
shall (A) permit Legal Counsel to review and comment upon (i) each Registration Statement at least five (5) Business Days prior
to its filing with the SEC (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Investor and Legal Counsel) and (ii) all
amendments and supplements to each Registration
Statement (including, without limitation, the prospectus contained therein) (except for Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and any similar or successor reports or prospectus supplements the contents
of which is limited to that set forth in such reports) within a reasonable number of days prior to their filing with the SEC, and
(B) shall give due consideration to all comments of the Investor and Legal Counsel on any such Registration Statement or amendment
or supplement thereto or to any prospectus contained therein. The Company shall promptly furnish to Legal Counsel, without charge,
(i) electronic copies of any correspondence from the SEC or the Staff to the Company or its representatives relating to each Registration
Statement (which correspondence shall be redacted to exclude any material, non-public information regarding the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries), (ii) after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, one (1) electronic copy of each Registration
Statement and any amendment(s) and supplement(s) thereto, including, without limitation, financial statements and schedules, all
documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by the Investor, and all exhibits and (iii) upon the effectiveness
of each Registration Statement, one (1) electronic copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments
and supplements thereto. The Company shall reasonably cooperate with Legal Counsel in performing the Company’s obligations
pursuant to this Section 3.
(d) Without limiting
any obligation of the Company under the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall promptly furnish to the Investor, without charge,
(i) after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, at least one (1) electronic copy of each Registration Statement and any
amendment(s) and supplement(s) thereto, including, without limitation, financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated
therein by reference, if requested by the Investor, all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) upon the effectiveness of
each Registration Statement, one (1) electronic copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments
and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as the Investor may reasonably request from time to time) and (iii) such
other documents, including, without limitation, copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as the Investor may reasonably request
from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the Investor.
(e) The Company
shall take such action as is necessary to (i) register and qualify, unless an exemption from registration and qualification applies,
the resale by the Investor of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or “Blue
Sky” laws of all applicable jurisdictions in the United States, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments
(including, without limitation, post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary
to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain
such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably
necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, the
Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction
where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(e), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such
jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify Legal
Counsel and the Investor of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
registration or qualification of any
of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States
or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.
(f) The Company
shall notify Legal Counsel and the Investor in writing of the happening of any event, as promptly as practicable after becoming
aware of such event, as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue
statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice
contain any material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), and, subject to Section 3(q), promptly
prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement and such prospectus contained therein to correct such untrue statement
or omission and deliver one (1) electronic copy of such supplement or amendment to Legal Counsel and the Investor (or such other
number of copies as Legal Counsel or the Investor may reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly notify Legal Counsel
and the Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, when
a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered
to Legal Counsel and the Investor by facsimile or e-mail on the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight mail), and when
the Company receives written notice from the SEC that a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment will be reviewed
by the SEC, (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus or related
information, (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement
would be appropriate and (iv) of the receipt of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority for
any additional information relating to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto or any related prospectus.
The Company shall respond as promptly as practicable to any comments received from the SEC with respect to a Registration Statement
or any amendment thereto. Nothing in this Section 3(f) shall limit any obligation of the Company under the Purchase Agreement.
(g) The Company
shall (i) use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration
Statement or the use of any prospectus contained therein, or the suspension of the qualification, or the loss of an exemption from
qualification, of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued,
to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible time and (ii) notify Legal Counsel and the Investor
of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding
for such purpose.
(h) Upon the
written request of the Investor, the Company shall make available for inspection during normal business hours by (i) the Investor,
(ii) Legal Counsel and (iii) one (1) firm of accountants or other agents retained by such Investor (collectively, the “Inspectors”),
all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”),
as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply
all information which any Inspector may reasonably request; provided, however, each Inspector shall agree in
writing to hold in strict confidence
and not to make any disclosure (except to the Investor) or use of any Record or other information which the Company’s board
of directors determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (a)
the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is
otherwise required under the Securities Act, (b) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena
or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information in such Records has been made generally
available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (as defined in
the Purchase Agreement). The Investor agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a
court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company,
at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed
confidential. Nothing herein (or in any other confidentiality agreement between the Company and the Investor, if any) shall be
deemed to limit the Investor’s ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner which is otherwise consistent with applicable
laws and regulations.
(i) The Company
shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning the Investor provided to the Company unless (i)
disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information
is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required to be disclosed
in such Registration Statement pursuant to the Securities Act, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena
or other final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has
been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning the Investor is sought in or by
a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to the Investor and allow
the Investor, at the Investor’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective
order for, such information.
(j) Without limiting
any obligation of the Company under the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts either to (i) cause
all of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities
of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then
permitted under the rules of such exchange or (ii) secure designation and quotation of all of the Registrable Securities covered
by each Registration Statement on another Trading Market, or (iii) if, despite the Company’s reasonable best efforts to satisfy
the preceding clauses (i) or (ii) the Company is unsuccessful in satisfying the preceding clauses (i) or (ii), without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for at least two market makers to register with
the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) as such with respect to such Registrable Securities.
In addition, the Company shall cooperate with the Investor and any Broker-Dealer through which the Investor proposes to sell its
Registrable Securities in effecting a filing with FINRA pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110 as requested by the Investor. The Company shall
pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section 3(j).
(k) The Company
shall cooperate with the Investor and, to the extent applicable, facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates
(not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement
and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts (as the case may be) as the Investor may reasonably request
from time to time and registered in such names as the Investor may request. Certificates for Registrable Securities free from all
restrictive legends may be transmitted by the transfer agent to the Investor by crediting an account at DTC as directed by the
Investor.
(l) If requested
by the Investor, the Company shall as soon as practicable after receipt of notice from the Investor and subject to Section 3(q)
hereof, (i) incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the Investor reasonably requests
to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information
with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other
terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement or prospectus contained therein
if reasonably requested by the Investor.
(m) The Company
shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be registered
with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable
Securities.
(n) The Company
shall make generally available to its security holders as soon as practical, but not later than ninety (90) days after the close
of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying with, and in the manner provided by, the provisions of
Rule 158 under the Securities Act) covering a twelve-month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company’s
fiscal quarter next following the applicable Effective Date of each Registration Statement.
(o) The Company
shall otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with
any registration hereunder.
(p) Within one
(1) Business Day after each Registration Statement which covers Registrable Securities is declared effective by the SEC, the Company
shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities
(with copies to the Investor) confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A.
(q) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein (but subject to the last sentence of this Section 3(q)), at any time after the Effective Date of
a particular Registration Statement, the Company may delay the disclosure of material, non-public information concerning the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the board of directors of the
Company, in the best interest of the Company and, in the
opinion of counsel to the Company, otherwise
required (a “Grace Period”), provided that the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than 9:30
a.m. (New York City time) on the second Trading Day immediately prior to the commencement of any Grace Period (except for such
case where it is impossible to provide such two-Trading Day advance notice, in which case the Company shall provide such notice
as soon as possible), notify the Investor in writing of the (i) existence of material, non-public information giving rise to a
Grace Period (provided that in each such notice the Company shall not disclose the content of such material, non-public information
to the Investor) and the date on which such Grace Period will begin and (ii) date on which such Grace Period ends, provided
further that (I) no Grace Period shall exceed 20 consecutive Trading Days and during any 365-day period all such Grace Periods
shall not exceed an aggregate of 60 Trading Days; provided, further, that the Company shall not register any securities for the
account of itself or any other stockholder during any such Grace Period (other than pursuant to a registration statement on Form
S-4 or S-8), (II) the first day of any Grace Period must be at least three Trading Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed
by the parties) after the last day of any prior Grace Period and (III) no Grace Period may exist during (A) the first 10 consecutive
Trading Days after the Effective Date of the particular Registration Statement or (B) the five-Trading Day period following each
Settlement Date (each, an “Allowable Grace Period”). For purposes of determining the length of a Grace
Period above, such Grace Period shall begin on and include the date set forth in the notice referred to in clause (i) above, provided
that such notice is received by the Investor not later than 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Trading Day immediately
prior to such commencement date (except for such case where it is impossible to provide such two-Trading Day advance notice, in
which case the Company shall provide such notice as soon as possible) and shall end on and include the later of the date the Investor
receives the notice referred to in clause (ii) above and the date referred to in such notice. The provisions of Section 3(l) hereof
shall not be applicable during the period of any Allowable Grace Period. Upon expiration of each Grace Period, the Company shall
again be bound by the first sentence of Section 3(f) with respect to the information giving rise thereto unless such material,
non-public information is no longer applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3(q), the Company
shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of the Investor in accordance with
the terms of the Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which the Investor has
entered into a contract for sale, and delivered a copy of the prospectus included as part of the particular Registration Statement
to the extent applicable, prior to the Investor’s receipt of the notice of a Grace Period and for which the Investor has
not yet settled.
(r) The Company
shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by the Investor of its Registrable Securities
pursuant to each Registration Statement.
| 4. | Obligations of the Investor. |
(a) At least
five Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of each Registration Statement (or such shorter period to which the
parties agree), the Company shall notify the Investor in writing of the information the Company requires from the Investor with
respect to such Registration Statement. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration
pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable
Securities of the Investor that the
Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended
method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it, as shall be reasonably required to effect and maintain the effectiveness
of the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the
Company may reasonably request.
(b) The Investor,
by its acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in
connection with the preparation and filing of each Registration Statement hereunder, unless the Investor has notified the Company
in writing of the Investor’s election to exclude all of the Investor’s Registrable Securities from such Registration
Statement.
(c) The Investor
agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(g) or
the first sentence of 3(f), the Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration
Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until the Investor’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended
prospectus contemplated by Section 3(g) or the first sentence of Section 3(f) or receipt of notice that no supplement or amendment
is required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(c), the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver
unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of the Investor in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement in connection
with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which the Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s
receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(g) or the first sentence
of Section 3(f) and for which the Investor has not yet settled.
(d) The Investor
covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery and other requirements of the Securities Act as applicable
to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.
| 5. | Expenses of Registration. |
All reasonable expenses,
other than underwriting discounts and commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant
to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting
fees, FINRA filing fees (if any) and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be paid by the Company.
(a) In the event
any Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement under this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Investor, each of its directors, officers, shareholders,
members, partners, employees, agents, advisors, representatives (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a
Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title) and each Person, if any, who controls the
Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each of the directors, officers, shareholders, members,
partners, employees, agents, advisors,
representatives (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the
lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling Persons (each, an “Investor Party” and collectively,
the “Investor Parties”), against any losses, obligations, claims, damages, liabilities, contingencies,
judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs (including, without limitation, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs
of defense and investigation), amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”)
incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from
the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending
or threatened, whether or not an Investor Party is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”),
to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration
Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under
the securities or other “Blue Sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue
Sky Filing”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in any prospectus (as amended or supplemented) or in any prospectus supplement or the omission or alleged omission to state therein
any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein
were made, not misleading (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being, collectively, “Violations”).
Subject to Section 6(c), the Company shall reimburse the Investor Parties, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and
payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such
Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a):
(i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Investor Party arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and
in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Investor Party for such Investor Party expressly for
use in connection with the preparation of such Registration Statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement or any such amendment
thereof or supplement thereto; (ii) shall not be available to the Investor to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the
Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus (as amended or supplemented) made available by the Company (to the
extent applicable), including, without limitation, a corrected prospectus, if such prospectus (as amended or supplemented) or corrected
prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(d) and then only if, and to the extent that, following
the receipt of the corrected prospectus no grounds for such Claim would have existed; and (iii) shall not apply to amounts paid
in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made
by or on behalf of the Investor Party and shall survive the transfer of any of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant
to Section 9.
(b) In connection
with any Registration Statement in which the Investor is participating, the Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify,
hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors,
each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if
any, who controls the Company within
the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Company Party”), against any Claim or
Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as
such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case, to the extent, and only to the extent,
that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information relating to the Investor furnished to the
Company by the Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6(c) and the
below provisos in this Section 6(b), the Investor will reimburse a Company Party any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by such Company Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, the indemnity
agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply
to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Investor, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided further that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b)
for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to the Investor as a result of the applicable
sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless
of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Company Party and shall survive the transfer of any of the Registrable Securities
by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.
(c) Promptly
after receipt by an Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of
any action or proceeding (including, without limitation, any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Investor
Party or Company Party (as the case may be) shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under
this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and 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 satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the
Investor Party or the Company Party (as the case may be); provided, however, an Investor Party or Company Party (as
the case may be) shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the indemnifying
party if: (i) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the indemnifying party shall have
failed promptly to assume the defense of such Claim and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Investor Party or Company
Party (as the case may be) in any such Claim; or (iii) the named parties to any such Claim (including, without limitation, any
impleaded parties) include both such Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) and the indemnifying party, and such
Investor Party or such Company Party (as the case may be) shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely
to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Investor Party or such Company Party and the indemnifying party (in which case,
if such Investor Party or such Company Party (as the case may be) notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to
employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, then the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume
the defense thereof on behalf of the indemnified party and such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party, provided
further that in the case of clause (iii) above the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses
of more than one (1) separate legal counsel for all Investor Parties or Company Parties (as the case may be). The Company Party
or Investor Party (as the case may be) shall reasonably cooperate 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 Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) which relates to such action or
Claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) reasonably apprised at all times
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,
the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the
prior written consent of the Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be), 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 Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) of a release from all liability in respect to such Claim or litigation,
and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Company Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the
immediately preceding sentence shall apply to Sections 6(a) and 6(b) hereof. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder,
the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) with respect
to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver
written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such
indemnifying party of any liability to the Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) under this Section 6, except to
the extent that the indemnifying party is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
(d) No Person
involved in the sale of Registrable Securities who is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f)
of the Securities Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to indemnification from any Person involved in such sale
of Registrable Securities who is not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation.
(e) The indemnification
required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense,
as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred; provided that the Investor shall promptly reimburse
the Company for all such payments to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any Investor Party was not entitled
to such payments.
(f) The indemnity
and contribution agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Company Party
or Investor Party against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant
to the law.
To the extent any
indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution
with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided,
however: (i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification
under the fault standards set forth in Section 6 of
this Agreement, (ii) no Person involved
in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f)
of the Securities Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person involved in such sale of
Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (iii) contribution by any seller of Registrable
Securities shall be limited in amount to the amount of net proceeds received by such seller from the applicable sale of such Registrable
Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, the Investor shall not be
required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by the
Investor from the applicable sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Claim exceeds the amount of any damages that the
Investor has otherwise been required to pay, or would otherwise be required to pay under Section 6(b), by reason of such untrue
or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
| 8. | Reports Under the Exchange Act. |
With a view to making
available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144, the Company agrees to:
(a) use its reasonable
best efforts to make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
(b) use its reasonable
best efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements (it being understood that nothing herein shall
limit any of the Company’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement) and the filing of such reports and other documents is
required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144;
(c) furnish to
the Investor so long as the Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company,
if true, that it has complied with the reporting, submission and posting requirements of Rule 144 and the Exchange Act, (ii) a
copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company
with the SEC if such reports are not publicly available via EDGAR, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested
to permit the Investor to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration; and
(d) take such
additional action as is reasonably requested by the Investor to enable the Investor to sell the Registrable Securities pursuant
to Rule 144, including, without limitation, delivering all such legal opinions, consents, certificates, resolutions and instructions
to the Company’s Transfer Agent as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Investor and otherwise fully cooperate
with Investor and Investor’s broker to effect such sale of securities pursuant to Rule 144.
| 9. | Assignment of Registration Rights. |
The Company shall
not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Investor. The Investor
may not assign its rights under this Agreement other than to an affiliate of the Investor.
No provision of
this Agreement may be amended or waived by the parties from and after the date that is one Trading Day immediately preceding the
initial filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, no provision of this
Agreement may be (i) amended other than by a written instrument signed by both parties hereto or (ii) waived other than in a written
instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. Failure of any party to exercise any right or
remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver
thereof.
(a) Solely for
purposes of this Agreement, a Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns or is deemed
to own of record such Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or
more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election
received from such record owner of such Registrable Securities.
(b) Any notices,
consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement shall be given in
accordance with Section 10.4 of the Purchase Agreement.
(c) Failure of
any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy,
shall not operate as a waiver thereof. The Company and the Investor acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in
the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise
breached. It is accordingly agreed that either party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches
of the provisions of this Agreement by the other party and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (without the
necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required), this being in addition to any other
remedy to which either party may be entitled by law or equity.
(d) All questions
concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws
of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State
of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State
of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts sitting in The City of New
York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated
hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an
inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal
service of process and consents to process being served in any such
suit, action or proceeding by mailing
a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute
good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right
to serve process in any manner permitted by law. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction,
such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that
jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. EACH PARTY HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER
OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
(e) The Transaction
Documents set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties solely with respect to the subject matter thereof and
supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, negotiations and understandings between the parties, both oral and written,
solely with respect to such matters. There are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by either party relative
to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary and without implication that the contrary would otherwise be true, nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit, modify
or affect in any manner whatsoever (i) the conditions precedent to a Draw Down contained in Article VII of the Purchase Agreement,
including, without limitation, the condition precedent contained in Section 7.2(iii) thereof or (ii) any of the Company’s
obligations under the Purchase Agreement.
(f) Subject to
compliance with Section 9, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the permitted successors and assigns
of each of the parties hereto. This Agreement is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any Person,
other than the parties hereto, their respective permitted successors and assigns and the Persons referred to in Sections 6 and
7 hereof.
(g) The headings
in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. Unless the
context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and
plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import
shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,”
“hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.
(h) This Agreement
may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become
effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. If any signature is delivered by facsimile
transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page, such signature
page shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the
same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.
(i) Each party
shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such
other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent
and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
(j) The language
used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent and no rules of strict
construction will be applied against any party.

Re: Bioheart, Inc.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
[We are][I am] counsel
to Bioheart, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), and have represented the Company in connection
with that certain Common Stock Purchase Agreement, dated October 23, 2014 (the “Purchase Agreement”),
entered into by and among the Company and the Investor named therein (the “Holder”) pursuant to which
the Company will issue to the Holder from time to time shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the ”Common
Stock”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with
the Holder (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things,
to register the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In connection with the Company’s obligations under
the Registration Rights Agreement, on ____________ ___, 2014, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No.
333-_____________) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
relating to the Registrable Securities which names the Holder as an underwriter and a selling stockholder thereunder.
In connection with
the foregoing, based solely upon oral advice from the staff of the SEC, the Registration Statement was declared effective under
the Securities Act on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS], and no stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued and no proceedings
for that purpose have been instituted or overtly threatened.
This letter shall
serve as our standing opinion to you that the shares of Common Stock are freely transferable by the Holder pursuant to the Registration
Statement, provided the Registration Statement remains effective.
Very truly yours,
[ISSUER’S COUNSEL]

SELLING
STOCKHOLDER
This prospectus
relates to the possible resale from time to time by the selling stockholder of any or all of the shares of common stock that have
been or may be issued by us to MEII under the Purchase Agreement. For additional information regarding the issuance of common stock
covered by this prospectus, see “Equity Enhancement Program With MEII” above. We are registering the shares of common
stock pursuant to the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement we entered into with MEII on October 23, 2014 in order to
permit the selling stockholder to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the transactions contemplated by the
Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, MEII has not had any material relationship with us within the past three
years.
The table below
presents information regarding the selling stockholder and the shares of common stock that it may offer from time to time under
this prospectus. This table is prepared based on information supplied to us by the selling stockholder, and reflects holdings as
of____________, 2014. As used in this prospectus, the term “selling stockholder” means MEII. The number of shares in
the column “Maximum Number of Shares of Common Stock to be Offered Pursuant to this Prospectus” represents all of the
shares of common stock that the selling stockholder may offer under this prospectus. The selling stockholder may sell some, all
or none of its shares in this offering. We do not know how long the selling stockholder will hold the shares before selling them,
and we currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the selling stockholder regarding the sale of any of the
shares.
Beneficial ownership
is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act, and includes shares of common stock
with respect to which the selling stockholder has voting and investment power. The percentage of shares of common stock beneficially
owned by the selling stockholder prior to the offering shown in the table below is based on an aggregate of _____________ shares
of our common stock outstanding on ________________ 2014. Because the purchase price of the shares of common stock issuable under
the Purchase Agreement is determined on each settlement date, the number of shares that may actually be sold by the Company under
the Purchase Agreement may be fewer than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus. The fourth column assumes the sale
of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholder pursuant to this prospectus.

| * | Represents beneficial ownership of less than one percent
of the outstanding shares of our common stock. |
| (1) | This number represents (i) __________ shares of common stock underlying a senior convertible note
we issued to MEII on October 7, 2014, which provides that we may not issue shares of our common stock to Magna to the extent that
Magna or any of its affiliates would, at any time, beneficially own more than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock, and (ii) the
9,109,128 shares of common stock we issued to MEII on October 23, 2014 as Initial Commitment Shares in consideration for entering
into the Purchase Agreement with us. In accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) under the Exchange Act, we have excluded from the number
of shares beneficially owned prior to the offering (i) up to ___________ shares that may be issued to MEII as Additional Commitment
Shares under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, because the issuance of such shares is dependent on, among other things, the
registration statement of which this prospectus is a part becoming effective and (ii) all of the shares that MEII may be required
to purchase pursuant to draw downs under the Purchase Agreement, because the issuance of such shares is solely at our discretion
and is subject to certain conditions, the satisfaction of all of which are outside of MEII’s control, including the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part becoming and remaining effective. Furthermore, the maximum amount of each put of common
stock to MEII under the Purchase Agreement is subject to certain agreed upon threshold limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
Also, under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we may not issue shares of our common stock to MEII to the extent that MEII or
any of its affiliates would, at any time, beneficially own more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock. |
| (2) | Applicable percentage ownership is based on 15,890,872 shares of our common stock outstanding as
of October 23rd, 2014. |
| (3) | Assumes the sale of all shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus. |
| (4) | The business address of MEII is c/o Magna, 5 Hanover Square, New York, New York 10004. MEII’s
principal business is that of a private investment firm. We have been advised that MEII is not a member of the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, or an independent broker-dealer, and that neither MEII nor any of its affiliates is an affiliate
or an associated person of any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer. We have been further advised that Joshua Sason is the
Chief Executive Officer and managing member of MEII and owns all of the membership interests in MEII, and that Mr. Sason has sole
power to vote or to direct the vote and sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of all securities owned directly by
MEII. |
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering
shares of common stock that have been or may be issued by us from time to time to MEII under the Purchase Agreement to permit the
resale of these shares of common stock after the issuance thereof by the selling stockholder from time to time after the date of
this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholder of the shares of common stock.
We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock.
The selling stockholder
may decide not to sell any shares of common stock. The selling stockholder may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock
beneficially owned by it and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents,
who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholder and/or the purchasers
of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent. In effecting sales, broker-dealers that are engaged by the selling
stockholder may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. MEII is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the
Securities Act. Any brokers, dealers or agents who participate in the distribution of the shares of common stock by the selling
stockholder may also be deemed to be “underwriters,” and any profits on the sale of the shares of common stock by them
and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any such brokers, dealers or agents may be deemed to be underwriting
discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. MEII has advised us that it will use an unaffiliated broker-dealer to effectuate
all resales of our common stock. To our knowledge, MEII has not entered into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any
particular broker-dealer or market maker with respect to the shares of common stock offered hereby, nor do we know the identity
of the broker-dealers or market makers that may participate in the resale of the shares. Because MEII is, and any other selling
stockholder, broker, dealer or agent may be deemed to be, an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act,
MEII will (and any other selling stockholder, broker, dealer or agent may) be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of
the Securities Act and may be subject to certain statutory liabilities of the Securities Act (including, without limitation, Sections
11, 12 and 17 thereof) and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act.
The selling stockholder
will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. The shares of common
stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying
prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve
crosses or block transactions, pursuant to one or more of the following methods:
| · | on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed
or quoted at the time of sale; |
| · | in the over-the-counter market in accordance with the rules of NASDAQ; |
| · | in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market; |
| · | through the writing or settlement of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange
or otherwise; |
| · | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
| · | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position
and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| · | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
| · | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
| · | privately negotiated transactions; |
| · | broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of such shares
at a stipulated price per share; |
| · | a combination of any such methods of sale; and |
| · | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
In addition, the
selling stockholder may transfer the shares of common stock by other means not described in this prospectus.
Any broker-dealer
participating in such transactions as agent may receive commissions from the selling stockholder (and, if they act as agent for
the purchaser of such shares, from such purchaser). MEII has informed us that each such broker-dealer will receive commissions
from MEII which will not exceed customary brokerage commissions. Broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholder to sell
a specified number of shares at a stipulated price per share, and, to the extent such a broker-dealer is unable to do so acting
as agent for the selling stockholder, to purchase as principal any unsold shares at the price required to fulfill the broker-dealer
commitment to the selling stockholder. Broker-dealers who acquire shares as principal may thereafter resell such shares from time
to time in one or more transactions (which may involve crosses and block transactions and which may involve sales to and through
other broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above and pursuant to the one or more of the methods described
above) at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale,
or at negotiated prices, and in connection with such resales may pay to or receive from the purchasers of such shares commissions
computed as described above. To the extent required under the Securities Act, an amendment to this prospectus or a supplemental
prospectus will be filed, disclosing:
| · | the name of any such broker-dealers; |
| · | the number of shares involved; |
| · | the price at which such shares are to be sold; |
| · | the commission paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealers, where applicable; |
| · | that such broker-dealers did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or
incorporated by reference in this prospectus, as supplemented; and |
| · | other facts material to the transaction. |
MEII has informed
us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute
the common stock.
Under the securities
laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.
In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for
sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
There can be no
assurance that the selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the registration
statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.
Underwriters and
purchasers that are deemed underwriters under the Securities Act may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise
affect the price of the common stock, including the entry of stabilizing bids or syndicate covering transactions or the imposition
of penalty bids. The selling stockholder and any other person participating in the sale or distribution of the shares of common
stock will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder (including, without
limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act), which may restrict certain activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and
sales of any of the shares of common stock by, the selling stockholder and any other participating person. To the extent applicable,
Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in
