The Company and the Subsidiaries have established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and

effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the end of the period covered by the

changes in the internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) of the Company and its Subsidiaries
that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting of the Company
and its Subsidiaries.</FONT></P>

Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered
broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an &ldquo;accredited investor&rdquo;
as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer
pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company
and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no
notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser&rsquo;s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable
documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities,
including, if the Securities are registered under a registration statement, the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement
under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of
selling stockholders thereunder. The Company further acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time enter into any interest,
currency exchange rate, commodity price or other hedging arrangement in respect of its interests in any of the Securities, which arrangement
would not be subject to notice to or approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the Purchaser shall be required
in connection therewith.</FONT></P>

to Rule 144, (iii) if such Securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance
with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Securities and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions,
or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements
issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly after
the events described in clauses (i)-(iv) in the immediately preceding sentence if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal
of the legend hereunder. The Company agrees that following such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c),
it will, no later than two Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing
such Securities, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (or, in the case of Securities held in book-entry form, of a request
to remove the restrictive legend from such Securities) (such second Trading Day, the &ldquo;<U>Legend Removal Date</U>&rdquo;), deliver
or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate (or written confirmation from the Transfer Agent of a book-entry position) representing
such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions
to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4. Certificates, if any, for Securities subject
to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser&rsquo;s
prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by such Purchaser.</FONT></P>

addition to any other rights available to the Purchasers, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to remove the restrictive
legends from any applicable Securities (the &ldquo;Applicable Securities&rdquo;) by the Legend Removal Date with respect thereto following
the request of a Purchaser in accordance with Section 4.1(c) above, and if after such date the applicable Purchaser is required by its
broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or such Purchaser&rsquo;s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares
of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Purchaser of any Applicable Securities for which a restrictive legend is
no longer required under Section 4.1(c) (a &ldquo;Buy-In&rdquo;), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Purchaser the amount,
if any, by which (x) the Purchaser&rsquo;s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock
so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Applicable Securities that the Company was required to
remove restrictive legends from in connection with the transfer at issue, times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to
such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) cause the Transfer Agent to remove the restrictive and other legends from such Applicable
Securities as promptly as reasonably practicable. For example, if the applicable Purchaser purchases Common Stock having a total purchase
price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted sale of Applicable Securities with an aggregate sale price giving rise
to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay such
Purchaser $1,000. The applicable Purchaser shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to such Purchaser
in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit any Purchaser&rsquo;s
right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific
performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company&rsquo;s failure to timely remove the restrictive and other legends from
applicable Securities following the request of any Purchaser in accordance with Section 4.1(c) above by the Legend Removal Date with
respect thereto, as required pursuant to the terms hereof.</FONT></P>
