The Company is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by the Company makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not have or reasonably be expected to result in (i) a material adverse effect on the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or that certain Escrow Agreement dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Company, the Placement Agent and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Escrow Agreement,” and together with this Agreement, the “Transaction Agreements”), (ii) a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business or financial condition of the Company, or (iii) a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to perform in any material respect on a timely basis its obligations under the Transaction Agreements (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Material Adverse Effect”).

Each of the Transaction Agreements and the Warrants have been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally; and (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.
(c) No Conflicts.

(d) Filings, Consents and Approvals. The Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority or other person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Agreements and the Warrants, other than (i) the filing with the SEC of a Form 8-K and prospectus supplement relating to the offer and sale of the Units pursuant to the Registration Statement, and applicable Blue Sky filings, if any, and (ii) such as have already been obtained.
(e) Capitalization. All of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock are, and all of the Shares, when issued, will be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free and clear of all liens created by the Company. The Warrant Shares have been duly authorized, and if and when issued and delivered by the Company against payment therefor as provided by the Warrants, shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free and clear of all liens created by the Company. All of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock were, the Shares will be, and the Warrant Shares (if and when issued) will be, issued in material compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, including available exemptions therefrom, and none of such issuances were, and the issuance of the Shares and the Warrant Shares will not be, made in violation of any pre-emptive or other rights. The Company has reserved from its duly authorized capital stock the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement and the Warrants. The issuance of the Shares and the Warrant Shares will not trigger any anti-dilution rights of any existing securities of the Company.

The execution, delivery and performance by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or similar action on the part of Purchaser.

Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by Purchaser or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained herein. Purchaser understands that its investment in the Units involves a high degree of risk. Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Units.
(c) No Governmental Review. Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Units or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Units, nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Units.
(d) Sales; Short Selling. From and after the date Purchaser received any information about the existence of this offering, Purchaser has not offered, pledged, sold, contracted to sell, sold any option or contract to purchase, purchased any option or contract to sell, granted any option, right or warrant to purchase, loaned, or otherwise transferred or disposed of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, entered into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, or directly or indirectly, through related parties, affiliates or otherwise sold “short” or “short against the box” (as those terms are generally understood, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the locating and/or borrowing of shares of Common Stock shall not be included in this Section 2.2(d)) any equity security of the Company. Purchaser covenants that it will not, nor will it authorize or permit any person acting on its behalf to, engage in any such transactions until following the public disclosure of the transaction as contemplated by Section 2.1(g).

(g) Non-Reliance on Placement Agent. Purchaser understands that the Placement Agent has acted solely as the agent of the Company in this placement of the Units and not to the Purchaser. Purchaser further acknowledges that (i) the Placement Agent, its affiliates, and their respective representatives make no representation or warranty with regard to the merits of the offering of the Units or as to the completeness or accuracy of any information or materials such Purchaser may have received in connection therewith, and Purchaser has not relied and will not rely on any information, representations or advice furnished by or on behalf of any of the Placement Agent, its affiliates or their respective representatives, orally or in writing, in making a decision to purchase the Units, (ii) it will be responsible for conducting its own due diligence investigation with respect to the Company and the offer and sale of the Units, (iii) it will be purchasing Units based on the results of its own due diligence investigation of the Company and (iv) it has negotiated the offer and sale of the Units directly with the Company, and the Placement Agent will not be responsible for the ultimate success of any such investment.

2.1. Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.
2.2. Warrant Shares. The Company shall use best efforts to keep a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) registering the issuance of the Warrant Shares effective during the term of the Warrants.
2.3. Shareholder Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that the Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that the Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Agreement, the Placement Agency Agreement or Warrant or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchaser.
2.4. Non-Public Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, the Placement Agency Agreement and the Warrant, which shall be disclosed pursuant to Section 2.1(g) of the Agreement, neither the Company, nor any other Person acting on behalf of the Company, will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes, or the Company reasonably believes constitutes, material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have consented to the receipt of such information and agreed with the Company to keep such information confidential. To the extent that the Company delivers any material, non-public information to a Purchaser without such Purchaser’s consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that such Purchaser shall not have any duty of confidentiality to the Company, any of its subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates, or a duty to the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates not to trade on the basis of, such material, non-public information, provided that the Purchaser shall remain subject to applicable law. To the extent that any notice provided pursuant to the Agreement, the Placement Agency Agreement or Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
2.5. Indemnification of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.5, the Company will indemnify and hold the Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls the Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser 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 the Agreement or in the Placement Agency Agreement or Warrant or (b) any action instituted against the Purchaser Parties in any capacity, or any of them or their respective affiliates, by any shareholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, the Placement Agency Agreement or Warrant (except to the extent, but only to the extent that such action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Agreement, the Placement Agency Agreement or Warrant or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such shareholder or any violations by such Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which is finally judicially determined to constitute fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to the Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel, or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under the Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in the Agreement, the Placement Agency Agreement or Warrant. The indemnification required by this Section 2.5 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 are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.
2.6. Subsequent Equity Sales.
(i) From the date hereof until ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any subsidiary shall (i) issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or (ii) file any registration statement or amendment or supplement thereto, other than the Prospectus or filing a registration statement on Form S-8 in connection with any employee benefit plan. “Common Stock Equivalents” means any securities of the Company or the subsidiaries which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Stock, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock.
(ii) From the date hereof until one (1) year following the Closing Date, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock or (ii) enters into, or effects a transaction under, any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit or “at-the-market” offering, whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the ninety (90) day anniversary of the Closing Date through the one hundred eighty (180) day anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company may effect sales under an “at-the-market” offering facility, provided that no sales of shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents may be below $0.40 per security. Following the one hundred eighty (180) day anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company may effect sales under an “at-the-market” offering facility without any pricing restrictions. Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 2.6 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction shall be an Exempt Issuance. “Exempt Issuance” means means the issuance of (a) shares of Common Stock or options to employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted for such purpose, by a majority of the non-employee members of the board of directors of the Company or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose for services rendered to the Company, (b) securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any Securities issued hereunder, and/or other securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement, provided that such securities have not been amended since the date of this Agreement to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of such securities (other than in connection with stock splits or combinations) or to extend the term of such securities, and (c) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, provided that such securities are issued as “restricted securities” (as defined in Rule 144) and carry no registration rights that require or permit the filing of any registration statement in connection therewith during the prohibition period in Section 2.6(i) herein, and provided that any such issuance shall only be to a Person (or to the equityholders of a Person) which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company or an owner of an asset in a business synergistic with the business of the Company and shall provide to the Company additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities.
Section 3. Termination. The Agreement may be terminated by the Purchaser by written notice to the Company and the Placement Agent, if the Closing has not been consummated on or before July 31, 2022; provided, however, that no such termination will affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by any other party (or parties).
