Sales Agent for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred by the Sales Agent,
up to a maximum of $30,000 in the aggregate. The Company agreed to indemnify the Sales Agent against certain liabilities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments that the Sales Agent may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.</p>

Placement Notice to Raymond James, receipt of which is promptly confirmed by Raymond James, and unless the sale of the Placement Shares
described therein has been declined, suspended, canceled or otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Raymond
James, for the period specified in the Placement Notice, will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading
and sales practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules&#8239;and regulations and the rules&#8239;of the Exchange, to sell such
Placement Shares up to the amount specified, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of such Placement Notice. Raymond James will provide
written confirmation to the Company no later than the opening of the Trading Day (as defined below) immediately following the Trading
Day on which it has made sales of Placement Shares hereunder setting forth the number of Placement Shares sold on such day, the prices
at which such Placement Shares were sold, the gross proceeds from such sales, the compensation payable by the Company to Raymond James

of the deductions made by Raymond James (as set forth in Section&#8239;5(a)) from the gross proceeds that it receives from such sales.
Unless otherwise set forth in the Placement Notice, Raymond James may sell Placement Shares by any method permitted by law deemed to be
an &ldquo;at the market&rdquo; offering as defined in Rule&#8239;415 of the Securities Act, including without limitation sales made directly
on the Exchange, on any other existing trading market for the Common Stock or to or through a market maker. With prior consent of the
Company, and subject to the terms of the Placement Notice, Raymond James may also sell Placement Shares in privately negotiated transactions.
The Company and Raymond James represent that a majority of the sales of Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement will be made to the
public and not in privately negotiated transactions. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i)&#8239;there can be no assurance that
Raymond James will be successful in selling Placement Shares, and (ii)&#8239;Raymond James will incur no liability or obligation to the
Company or any other person or entity if it does not sell Placement Shares for any reason other than a failure by Raymond James to use
its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such Placement Shares as required under

necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then existing, be misleading or so that the Prospectus,
as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law including the Securities Act. Neither Raymond James&rsquo; consent to, nor

of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section&#8239;10,

it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise than under the indemnity agreement contained

of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party&rsquo;s election so to assume the defense of
such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under

(together with local counsel), representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action), which counsel (together with any
local counsel) for the indemnified parties shall be selected by Raymond James (in the case of counsel for the indemnified parties referred

The indemnifying party under this Section&#8239;10 shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written

the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying

judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party
and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes
an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding

same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses)
received by the Company, and the total compensation received by Raymond James. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and
Raymond James, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one
hand, or Raymond James, on the other hand, and the parties&rsquo; relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
