practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations and the rules of The NYSE American Market (the &ldquo;<B><U>Exchange</U></B>&rdquo;),
for the period specified in the Placement Notice, to sell such Placement Shares up to the amount specified by the Company in, and otherwise
in accordance with, the terms of such Placement Notice. If acting as agent hereunder, the Sales Agent will provide written confirmation

Shares hereunder setting forth the number of Placement Shares sold on such day, the volume-weighted average price of the Placement Shares,

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. Subject to the terms of a Placement Notice, the Sales Agent may also sell Placement Shares by
any other method permitted by law, including but not limited to in negotiated transactions with the Company&rsquo;s prior written consent.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) there can be no assurance that the Sales Agent will be successful in selling Placement Shares,
(ii) the Sales Agent 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 the Sales Agent to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading
and sales practices and applicable law and regulations to sell such Placement Shares as required under this Agreement and (iii) the Sales
Agent shall be under no obligation to purchase Placement Shares on a principal basis pursuant to this Agreement, except as otherwise
agreed by the Sales Agent and the Company in writing and expressly set forth in a Placement Notice. For the purposes hereof, &ldquo;<B><U>Trading
Day</U></B>&rdquo; means any day on which the Company&rsquo;s Common Stock is purchased and sold on the principal market on which the

<U>Procedure</U>. Any party that proposes to assert the right to be indemnified under this <U>Section 9</U> will, promptly after receipt
of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party or
parties under this <U>Section 9</U>, notify each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action, enclosing a copy of all
papers served, but the omission so to notify such indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from (i) any liability that
it might have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this <U>Section 9</U> and (ii) any liability that it may have to any indemnified
party under the foregoing provision of this <U>Section 9</U> unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the forfeiture
of substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party. If any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies
the indemnifying party of its commencement, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it elects
by delivering written notice to the indemnified party promptly after receiving notice of the commencement of the action from the indemnified
party, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense of the action, with counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense,
the indemnifying party will not be liable to the indemnified party for any legal or other expenses except as provided below and except
for the reasonable costs of investigation subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense. The indemnified
party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel will
be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (1) the employment of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in writing
by the indemnifying party, (2) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses
available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, (3)
a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying
party (in which case the indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified
party) or (4) the indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after
receiving notice of the commencement of the action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel
will be at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection
with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges
of more than one separate firm admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time for all such indemnified party or parties. All
such fees, disbursements and other charges will be reimbursed by the indemnifying party promptly as they are incurred. An indemnifying
party will not, in any event, be liable for any settlement of any action or claim effected without its written consent. No indemnifying
party shall, without the prior written consent of each indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment
in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to the matters contemplated by this <U>Section 9</U> (whether or not
any indemnified party is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified
party from all liability arising or that may arise out of such claim, action or proceeding.</FONT></P>

<U>Contribution</U>. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for
in the foregoing paragraphs of this <U>Section 9</U> is applicable in accordance with its terms but for any reason is held to be unavailable
from the Company or the Sales Agent, the Company and the Sales Agent will contribute to the total losses, claims, liabilities, expenses
and damages (including any investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement
of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted, but after deducting any contribution received by the Company from persons other
than the Sales Agent, such as persons who control the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, officers of the Company who signed
the Registration Statement and directors of the Company, who also may be liable for contribution) to which the Company and the Sales
Agent may be subject in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand
and the Sales Agent on the other. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Sales Agent on the other hand
shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total Net Proceeds from the sale of the Placement Shares (before deducting expenses)
received by the Company bear to the total compensation received by the Sales Agent from the sale of Placement Shares on behalf of the
Company. If, but only if, the allocation provided by the foregoing sentence is not permitted by applicable law, the allocation of contribution
shall be made in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in the foregoing sentence but
also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Sales Agent, on the other, with respect to the statements or omission
that resulted in such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations with respect to such offering. Such relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
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 or the Sales Agent, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity
to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Sales Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions
pursuant to this <U>Section 9(d)</U> were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not
take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of
the loss, claim, liability, expense, or damage, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this <U>Section 9(d)</U> shall be
deemed to include, for the purpose of this <U>Section 9(d)</U>, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party
in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim to the extent consistent with <U>Section 9(c)</U> hereof. Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this <U>Section 9(d)</U>, the Sales Agent shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the
commissions received by it under this Agreement and no person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
For purposes of this <U>Section 9(d)</U>, any person who controls a party to this Agreement within the meaning of the Securities Act
will have the same rights to contribution as that party (and any officers, directors, members, partners, employees or agents of the Sales
Agent and each broker dealer affiliate of the Sales Agent will have the same rights to contribution as the Sales Agent), and each officer
of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company will have the same rights to contribution as the
Company, subject in each case to the provisions hereof. Any party entitled to contribution, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement
of any action against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made under this <U>Section 9(d)</U>, will notify
any such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify will not relieve that party or parties
from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have under this <U>Section 9(d)</U> except to the extent
that the failure to so notify such other party materially prejudiced the substantive rights or defenses of the party from whom contribution
is sought. Except for a settlement entered into pursuant to the last sentence of <U>Section 9(c)</U> hereof, no party will be liable
for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its written consent if such consent is required pursuant to <U>Section
9(c)</U> hereof.</FONT></P>
