Item 1.01 Entry into a Material definitive
Agreement
As previously disclosed
in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, on November 2, 2015, Lattice Incorporated
(“Company” or “we”) entered into agreements (collectively, the “Purchase Agreement”) with Barron
Partners LP (“Barron”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase from Barron all of the securities of the Company
owned by Barron, namely 2,239,395 shares of the Company’s common stock, 3,589,488 shares of the Company’s Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock, 520,000 shares of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, and 590,910 shares of
the Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock for $74,466, $461,502, $188,577 and $425,455, respectively. The Company
closed on the purchase of all such securities except for the common shares on November 30, 2015, and no further purchases may be
made after such date.
The disclosure contained in Items 2.03 and
3.02 is incorporated by reference in this Item 1.01.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial
Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
As previously disclosed
in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, on November 2, 2015, the Company entered
into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Cantone Asset Management, LLC (“Cantone”),
pursuant to which Cantone agreed to loan the Company a gross amount of $580,000, less an original issue discount of $58,000 (the
“Loan”), of which $136,800 (plus interest) would be used to pay off an outstanding bridge loan to Cantone. The closing
of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Agreement was contingent on the Company raising sufficient funds, when added with
the net proceeds of the Loan, to repurchase all of the securities pursuant to the terms of the Barron Agreement. The funds were
released from escrow on November 30, 2015 to permit the purchase of the preferred stock from Barron as described in Item 1.01.
The Company is obligated to issue 1,862,500
shares of its common stock to Cantone pursuant to the Loan Agreement, and will pay Cantone a 3% origination fee and a 2% non-accountable
expense allowance. The Loan is secured by a first priority security interest in the revenues and proceeds from certain of the Company’s
contracts. In connection with the Loan Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, the Company issued a promissory note
in the aggregate principal amount of $580,000 to Cantone (the “Note”). The Note will not begin to bear interest until
February 6, 2015, at which point it will bear interest at a rate of 14% per year. The Note will mature on May 2, 2016. The Note
provides for customary events of default, including the failure to pay any amount due under the Note on the applicable due date
(subject to a cure period), defaulting on any other indebtedness by the Company, the Company becoming insolvent, or the company
filing for voluntary bankruptcy. In the event of a default, the interest rate on the Note would increase to 18% per year and the
Company would be obligated to pay 10% of the total amount due as liquidated damages.
Cantone received piggy-back registration rights
for the shares issued in connection with the Loan.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity
Securities
As previously disclosed in the Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, on November 2, 2015 and November 3, 2015, pursuant to the terms
of a Securities Purchase Agreement dated November 2, 2015 (the “Placement Agreement”), the Company sold an
aggregate of 11,570,000 shares of its common stock under subscription agreements to 15 accredited investors for aggregate
gross proceeds of $416,520. Between November 6 and December 3, 2015, the Company sold an additional 9,075,000 shares of its
common stock under subscription agreements to 26 accredited investors for additional gross proceeds of $326,700 (an aggregate
of $743,220 in gross proceeds). No further purchases may be made under the Placement Agreement.
In connection with the sale of the
shares, the Company will pay an aggregate placement agent fee of $30,861 in cash to Boenning & Scattergood, Inc.
(“B&S”) and will issue B&S warrants to purchase 514,340 shares of the Company’s common stock at
the price of $0.036 per share. The investors were granted piggyback registration rights in connection with the Placement
Agreement. The net proceeds of the transaction were used to purchase the securities owned by Barron pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement. The securities will be issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the
transactions will not involve a public offering.
The disclosure contained in Item 2.03 is incorporated
by reference in this Item 3.02.
The 1,862,500 shares of the Company’s
common stock to be issued to Cantone will be issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the

BACKGROUND
At the request of
and on behalf of the Borrower, the Lender proposes to extend to the Borrower a term loan in the principal sum of Five Hundred Eighty
Thousand Dollars ($580,000) (the “Loan”) to be used for the repurchase of certain outstanding preferred stock and common
stock of Barron Partners, the repayment of a Lender bridge loan in the amount of $136,800, plus interest, and for working capital
and secured by the revenues and proceeds of certain agreements identified below (the “Collateral”).
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration
of the promises contained in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, and intending to the legally bound, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Definitions
The following terms
used in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth below:

this Agreement.
(b) “Business Day”
shall mean any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday, a United States federal government legal holiday or a day on which banking
institutions are authorized or required by law or other governmental action to close in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
(c) “Collateral”
means the collateral in which the Lender is granted a security interest by this Agreement and which shall include the following:
all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in the revenues of certain telecommunications contracts with correctional
facilities identified in Exhibit A (the “Contracts”), and the proceeds from such Contracts; including all insurance
proceeds, and rights to refunds or indemnification whatsoever owing, together with all instruments, all documents of title representing
any of the foregoing, all rights in any merchandising, goods, equipment, which any of the same may represent, and all right, title,
security and guaranties with respect to each contract.
(c) “Loan Documents”
means this Agreement, the $580,000 Note of even date from Borrower to Lender (the “Note”), the UCC-1 Financing Statement
naming Borrower as debtor and Lender as secured party to be filed with the New Jersey Department of State, an affidavit of business
use and all other loan documents listed on the Closing Checklist attached as Exhibit B, including all riders, supplements and addenda
to such documents.

(e) “Person” shall
mean any individual, sole proprietorship, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, limited liability partnership,

(f) “Principal Amount”
initially means up to $580,000 as advanced by the Lender, reduced by any payments of principal by Borrower.
(g) “Taxes” mean

fee, imposition, assessment or similar charge, together with any interest or penalties thereon.
(h) “UCC” shall mean

2. Terms of the Loan
(a) Lender agrees to extend the
Loan to Borrower for business purposes only. Borrower has executed an affidavit of business use of even date. The term of the Loan
(the “Term”) shall be for approximately six months from the date of the final funding of the Loan and due on May 2,
2016 (the “Due Date”).
(b) The Parties will use their
best efforts to complete this transaction as soon as practicable. The Parties intend to execute the Loan Documents on November
2, 2015 and the Lender will place the net proceeds of the Loan in escrow pursuant to the escrow agreement attached as Exhibit A.
The Escrow Agent (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) will hold all funds and executed Loan Documents in escrow until the escrow
conditions are met. The closing of the transaction (the “Closing”) will take place upon satisfaction of the escrow
conditions and release of the net proceeds of the Loan from escrow.
(c) Borrower acknowledges that
the Lender is making the Loan at a 10% original issue discount. Borrower will pay no additional interest if the entire Principal
Amount is paid on or before February 2, 2016. If not paid by February 2, 2016, Borrower will pay interest at fourteen percent (14%)
annually (the “Interest Rate”), with interest accruing on the outstanding Principal Amount beginning February 2, 2016,
paid monthly, interest only, in arrears, in the amount of $6,766.67 per month, with the first payment due March 2, 2016, and payable
on the second of each month until the outstanding Principal Amount and all accrued but unpaid interest is paid in full.
(d) The outstanding unpaid Principal
Amount of the Loan and all accrued but unpaid interest shall be paid in full on or before the Due Date. The Borrower has the right
to repay the Principal Amount and accrued interest at any time before the Due Date without premium or penalty. In any Event of
Default (as defined in the Note), the Interest Rate shall increase to 18%. In the event that the Borrower does not pay the outstanding
Principal Amount plus accrued interest by the Due Date, the Borrower will issue to the Lender 2,500,000 shares of the Borrower’s
restricted common stock as a late payment penalty and $50,000 shall be added to the Principal Amount and begin accruing interest
at the Default Rate.
(e) To evidence the obligation
of Borrower to Lender to repay the Loan with interest at the Interest Rate in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement,
Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender at Closing the Note, a form of which is attached as Exhibit C.
(f) To secure the Note, Borrower
shall execute and deliver to Lender at Closing and cause to be filed a UCC-1 Financing Statement, which grants to Lender a perfected
first security interest in the Collateral (the “Financing Statement”).
3. Fees
(a) The Borrower will pay the Lender
an origination fee of 3% of the Principal Amount plus 862,500 shares of the Borrower’s restricted common stock. Borrower
will also pay the Lender a non-accountable expense allowance of 2% of the Principal Amount (which shall include the Lender’s
legal fees of $3,000). In addition, as an inducement for the Lender to fund the Loan quickly, the Borrower will issue to the Lender
1,000,000 shares of the Lender’s restricted common stock at the Closing of the Loan. Such cash fees will be deducted from
the gross amount of the Loan, with the Borrower receiving the net proceeds on the Closing Date. The Borrower will issue the restricted
stock deliverable under this Section 3(a) to the Lender within five business days of the Closing.
(b) The Parties acknowledge that the
Borrower is selling the Note to the Lender at a 10% original issue discount.
(c) Upon any Event of Default, as defined
in the Note, the Borrower will begin accruing interest on the Note at 18% simple annual interest (the “Default Rate”),
to be accrued and paid monthly.
(d) The Borrower hereby agrees that
Lender will have “piggyback” registration rights for all shares of Borrower restricted stock issued to the Lender or
any of its affiliates on any registration statement filed by the Borrower with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
except for registration statements on forms S-4 (for merger transactions) or S-8 (for employee plans). If the Borrower files such
a registration statement, the Borrower undertakes to use commercially reasonable efforts to make the registration statement effective
within a reasonable time and to keep such registration statement effective until all of the shares of restricted stock held by
the Lender or its affiliates are sold.
4. Collateral for the Loan
The Parties agree that
the collateral and security for the Loan shall be a first priority security interest in the Collateral.
5. Covenants
of Borrower. In addition to the covenants and agreements of the Borrower contained in the other Loan Documents, and as
long as the Loan is outstanding, the Borrower hereby covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) Borrower shall promptly give
notice in writing to Lender of the occurrence of any material litigation, arbitration or governmental proceeding affecting Borrower,

condition of Borrower.
(b) Borrower shall promptly give
notice in writing to Lender of the occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined in the Note) and of any condition, event, act

of the Lender.

LATTICE INCORPORATED
14% SECURED NOTE
Thompson, Pennsylvania
$580,000.00 |
November 2, 2015 |
1. Obligation.
For value received and intending to be legally bound, Lattice Incorporated, a Delaware corporation ("Maker"), hereby
promises to pay on or before the Due Date (as defined below) to the order of Cantone Asset Management, LLC (including its successors
and assigns, collectively, the "Payee"), the principal sum of up to FIVE HUNDRED EIGHTY Thousand
Dollars ($580,000.00), lawful money of the United States of America together with interest thereon in the amount of fourteen percent
annual simple interest (the “Rate”) on the terms and conditions stated in this Note, based on the gross amount advanced
by the Payee before deductions. The loan represented by this note is for business purposes only. The principal sum added to the
accrued but unpaid interest (including Default Interest, defined below) is referred to in this Note as the "Amount Due."
Any term capitalized herein and not defined shall have the same meaning as in the Loan and Security Agreement between the Maker
and the Payee of even date.
The payments under this Note
shall be made in funds immediately available to Payee at its office at Thompson, Pennsylvania, or at such other location as the
Payee shall designate. In the event the due date of any payment under this Note is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday in the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, such payment shall be due on the next succeeding date which is not a Saturday, Sunday or such legal holiday, provided
that the principal sum shall continue to accrue interest until paid.
Maker acknowledges that this
Note is delivered to the Payee at a 10% original issue discount. Maker will pay no interest if the $580,000 principal is paid on
or before February 2, 2016; 14% annual interest accrues on the principal sum beginning February 2, 2016 if the principal remains
outstanding, with interest paid monthly, in arrears, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, at $6,766.67 per month with first
interest payment due March 2, 2016, and will continue until the Amount Due is paid. If any event of default occurs as defined in
this Note, including a failure to pay interest when due, interest will accrue at the rate of 18% (the “Default Rate”).
Interest payable at the Default Rate shall be known as “Default Interest” under this Note.
The Amount Due is due and
payable on or before May 2, 2016 (the “Due Date”). If the Maker fails to pay the Amount Due on the Due Date, Default
Interest at the Default Rate will begin to accrue until the Amount Due is paid in full. If the Amount Due is not paid in full by
the Due Date, in addition to any Default Interest, late fees or other charges, the Maker will immediately issue to the Payee a
certificate representing 2,500,000 shares of the Maker’s common stock as a late payment penalty and not as interest and $50,000
will be added to the principal amount and begin accruing Default Interest.
2. Prepayment. Maker
may prepay all or any portion of the Amount Due at any time without premium or penalty.
3. Application of Payments.
All payments on this Note shall be applied first to interest at the Rate, then Default Interest, then all other sums due hereunder,
and the balance thereof to principal or in such other order as Payee may elect.
4. Late Charge.
If any payment of interest payable under Section 1, above is not made by the twenty-ninth day of the month in which it is due,
or if the Amount Due is not paid when due under the terms of this Note and remains unpaid ten (10) days after the Due Date, then,
in either case, there shall also be immediately due and payable a late charge at the rate of Five Percent (5%) of such delinquent
payment. The amount of any such late charge not paid promptly following demand therefor shall be deemed outstanding and payable
pursuant to the Note.
5. Collateral. The
payment of the Amount Due on the Due Date shall be secured by a first lien on the revenues and other proceeds of certain contracts
of the Maker, listed on Exhibit A, to be evidenced by a filing on form UCC-1.
6. Default; Acceleration;
Remedies.
a. Should there occur
and exist any Default (as defined below in Section 6 b), then Payee, at its option and after written notice to Maker, may declare
immediately due and payable the entire unpaid balance of Amount Due and accrued interest by Maker hereunder, together with interest
accrued thereon at the Rate to the date of Default and thereafter at a rate of interest equal to the Default Rate, anything herein
to the contrary notwithstanding. Payment of the Amount Due may be enforced and recovered in whole or in part at any time by one
or more of the remedies provided Payee in this Note. If Payee employs counsel to enforce this Note by suit or otherwise, Maker
will reimburse Payee for all reasonable costs of suit and other expenses in connection therewith, whether or not suit is actually
instituted, together with a reasonable attorney's fee for collection of Ten Percent (10%) of the total amount then due by Maker
to Payee but in no event less than Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) together, to the extent permitted by applicable law, with
interest on any judgment obtained by Payee at the Default Rate, including interest at the Default Rate from and after the date
of execution, judicial or foreclosure sale until actual payment is made to Payee of the full amount due Payee.
b. As used in this Note,
"Default" shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events:
(1) Any default in the
payment when due of interest or the Amount Due on the Due Date, or any other sums due, under this Note, which default is not cured
within ten (10) days after the due date of such payment;
(2) Any default in the
performance of any of the provisions of this Note, which is not cured within ten (10) days;
(3) Any default in any
other indebtedness of the Maker, which default is not cured within ten (10) days of the date of such default;
(4) The making of any
misrepresentation to Payee;
(5) The appointment
of a committee of Maker’s creditors;
(6) The making by Maker
of a general assignment or offer of settlement for the benefit of creditors;
(7) The voluntary or
involuntary application for, or appointment of, a receiver, custodian, guardian, trustee, or other personal representative for
Maker or its property;
(8) The filing of a
voluntary or involuntary (to the extent not dismissed within 30 days) petition under any of the provisions of the Federal Bankruptcy
Code or any similar state statute;
(9) The occurrence of
any other act of insolvency (however expressed or indicated);
(10) The issuance of
a warrant of attachment or for distraint, or the notice of tax lien against Maker’s assets;
(11) An entry of judgments
against Maker or its assets;
(12) The failure to
pay, withhold, collect or remit any taxes or tax deficiency when assessed or due, unless such taxes are being diligently contested
in good faith by appropriate proceedings;
(13) The general failure
of Maker to pay its debts and obligations as the same become due and payable.
7. Remedies Cumulative,
Etc.
a. The remedies of Payee
provided in this Note shall be cumulative and concurrent, may be pursued singly, successively, or together at the sole discretion
of Payee, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall occur; and the failure to exercise any such right or remedy
shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof.
b. The recovery of any
judgment by Payee shall not affect in any manner or to any extent any rights, remedies or powers of Payee under this Note, but
such rights, remedies and powers of Payee shall continue unimpaired as before. The exercise by Payee of its rights and remedies
and the entry of any judgment by Payee shall not adversely affect in any way the interest rate payable hereunder on any amounts
due to Payee but interest shall continue to accrue on such amounts at the rates specified herein.
c. Maker agrees that any
action or proceeding against it to enforce this Note may be commenced in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas
in the County of Philadelphia or in such court sitting in any of the five adjacent counties in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
or in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Maker also consents to venue in any federal court
having subject matter jurisdiction located in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The provisions of this Section shall not limit
or otherwise affect the right of Payee to institute and conduct action in any other appropriate manner, jurisdiction or court.
8. Additional Waivers.
Maker hereby waives presentment for payment, demand, demand for payment, notice of demand, notice of nonpayment or dishonor, notice
of acceleration, protest and notice of protest of this Note, and all other notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance,
performance, default or enforcement of the payment of the Note. Maker agrees that its liability shall be unconditional without
regard to the liability of any other party, and shall not be affected in any manner by any indulgence, extension of time, renewal,
waiver or modification granted or consented to by Payee. Maker consents to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers or
modifications that may be granted by Payee with respect to payment or other provisions of this Note.
9. Costs and Expenses.
Maker shall pay upon demand all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Payee in the exercise of any of its rights, remedies
or powers under this Note and any amount thereof not paid promptly following demand therefor shall be added to the principal sum
hereunder and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of such demand until paid in full.
10. Severability.
If any provision of this Note is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions
of this Note shall remain in full force and effect and shall be liberally construed in favor of Payee in order to effectuate the
provisions of this Note.
11. Limitation of Interest
to Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event shall the rate of interest payable hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted
to be charged by applicable law (including choice of law rules) and any interest paid in excess of the permitted rate shall be
refunded to Maker. Such refund shall be made by application of the excessive amount of interest paid against any sums outstanding
under this Note and shall be applied on such order as Payee may determine. If the excessive amount of interest paid exceeds the
sums outstanding under this Note, the portion exceeding the sums outstanding under this Note shall be refunded in cash by Payee.
Any such crediting or refund shall not cure or waive any default by Maker hereunder. Maker agrees, however, that in determining
whether or not any interest payable under this Note exceeds the highest rate permitted by law, any non-principal payment, including
without limitation prepayment fees and late charges, shall be deemed to the extent permitted by law to be an expense, fee, premium
or penalty rather than interest. Maker acknowledges that the loan represented by this Note is for business purposes only.
12. Limitation on Payee's
Waivers. Payee shall not be deemed, by any act or omission or commission, to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder
unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Payee, and then only to the extent specifically set forth in the writing. A waiver
as to one event shall not be construed as continuing or as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy to a subsequent event.
13. No Offset. The
obligations of Maker under this Note shall not be subject to any abatement or offset as a consequence of any claim, event or transaction
otherwise occurring or arising between Maker, Payee and/or any affiliate of any of them, except as Maker and Payee may otherwise
agree.
14. Applicable
Law. This instrument shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without
regard to its doctrine regarding conflicts of laws.
15. Captions. The captions or headings
of the paragraphs in this Note are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of
the terms or provisions of the Note.
16. Pronouns.
Pronouns used herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine or neuter, singular or plural, as their contexts may require.
The words "Payee" and "Maker" shall be deemed to include the respective heirs, personal representatives, successors
and assigns of Payee and Maker.
17. Construction.
The language in this Agreement shall be construed as a whole according to its fair meaning, strictly neither for nor against any
party, and without implying a presumption that its terms shall be more strictly construed against one party by reason of the rule
of construction that a document is to be construed more strictly against the person who drafted it.
18. Computation.
The unpaid principal amount of this Note, the unpaid interest accrued thereon, the interest rate or rates applicable to such unpaid
principal amount, the duration of such applicability, and all other Amounts Due owing by Maker to Payee pursuant to this Note
shall at all times be ascertained from the records of Payee, which shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
19. Assignment.
This Note may not be assigned or otherwise transferred by Maker without the prior written consent of Payee.
20. Stamp Taxes.
Maker shall pay the cost of any revenue, tax or other stamps now or hereafter required by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
(or any of its political subdivisions) or the United States of America to be affixed to this note, and if any taxes are imposed
under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (or any of its political subdivisions) or the United States of America with
respect to evidences of indebtedness, Maker shall pay or reimburse Payee upon demand the amount of such taxes without credit against
any indebtedness evidenced by this Note.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
3.1 Representations
and Warranties of the Company. Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedules (which may be updated by the Company as of each

to the extent of the disclosure contained in the corresponding section of the Disclosure Schedules, the Company hereby makes the
following representations and warranties to each Purchaser as of each Closing Date:
(a) Subsidiaries.
The companies included in the SEC Reports are all direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Company (the “Subsidiaries”).
The Company owns, directly or indirectly, all of the capital stock or other equity interests of each Subsidiary free and clear
of any Liens other than Liens that could not if enforced, individually or in the aggregate, result or reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in Section 3.1(b) below), and all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital
stock of each Subsidiary are validly issued and are fully paid, non-assessable and free of preemptive and similar rights to subscribe
for or purchase securities.
(b) Organization
and Qualification. The Company and each of the Subsidiaries is an entity duly incorporated or otherwise organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, with the requisite power
and authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted. Neither the Company
nor any Subsidiary is in violation or nor default of any of the provisions of its respective certificate or articles of incorporation,
bylaws or other organizational or charter documents. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries 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 it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as
the case may be, could not have or reasonably be expected to have or result in: (i) a material adverse effect on the legality,
validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document, (ii) a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business,
or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) a material adverse effect
on the Company’s ability to perform in any material respect on a timely basis its obligations under any Transaction Document
(any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Material Adverse Effect”) and no Action has been instituted in any such jurisdiction
revoking, limiting or curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority or qualification; provided, however,
that no change, effect, event or occurrence to the extent arising or resulting from any of the following, either alone or in combination,
shall constitute or be taken into account in determining whether there has been or will be a Material Adverse Effect: (i) general
business or economic conditions not specific or peculiar to the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) acts of war or terrorism or natural
disasters not specific or peculiar to the Company, a Subsidiary or a jurisdiction in which any of them operates, (iii) catastrophic
economic or significant regulatory or political conditions or changes, (iv) changes in any applicable accounting regulations or
principles or the interpretations thereof, (vi) changes in laws, or (vii) changes in the price or trading volume of the Company’s
stock.
(c) Authorization;
Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated

of each of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby,
including the issuance and sale of the Shares, have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and
no further action is required by the Company, the Board of Directors or the Company’s stockholders in connection therewith
other than in connection with the Required Approvals. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has 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
the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited
by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application
affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance,
injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by
applicable law.
(d) No Conflicts.
The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents, the issuance and sale of the Shares and the
consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby to which it is a party do not and will not: (i) conflict
with or violate any provision of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws
or other organizational or charter documents, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse
of time or both would become a default) under, result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Company
or any Subsidiary, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice,
lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company or Subsidiary debt or
otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company
or any Subsidiary is bound or affected, or (iii) subject to the Required Approvals, conflict with or result in a violation of any
law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which
the Company or a Subsidiary is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any property
or asset of the Company or a Subsidiary is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as could
not have or reasonably be expected to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(e) 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

shares of Common Stock, or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or
may become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents. The issuance and sale of the Shares will
not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any Person (other than the Purchasers) and will
not result in a right of any holder of Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any
of such securities. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable,
have been issued in compliance with all federal and state securities laws, and none of such outstanding shares was issued in violation

or, to the Knowledge of the Company, between or among any of the Company’s stockholders.

expected to occur or exist, with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective business, properties, operations,

to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement

continued employment of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability with
respect to any of the foregoing matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all U.S. federal, state, local
and foreign laws and regulations relating to employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages

Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports or as set forth on Schedule 3.1(l), neither the Company nor any Subsidiary: (i) is

Permits”), and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation
or modification of any Material Permit.
(n) Title to
Assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them and
good and marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries,
in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for Liens as do not materially affect the value of such property and do not materially
interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and the Subsidiaries and Liens for the payment
of federal, state or other taxes, the payment of which is neither delinquent nor subject to penalties. Any real property and facilities

patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights,
licenses and other intellectual property rights and similar rights as described in the SEC Reports as necessary or material for

(written or otherwise) that any of, the Intellectual Property Rights has expired, terminated or been abandoned, or is expected
to expire or terminate or be abandoned, within two (2) years from the date of this Agreement. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary
has received, since the date of the latest audited financial statements included within the SEC Reports, a written notice of a
claim or otherwise has any Knowledge that the Intellectual Property Rights violate or infringe upon the rights of any Person, except
as would not have a Material Adverse Effect. To the Knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable
and there is no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries
have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their intellectual properties,
except where failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and
in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the
Company nor any Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when

a significant increase in cost.

as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii)

by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within

effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the Company’s
most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented

be or be an Affiliate of, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance or

that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements.
(x) Application
of Takeover Protections. The Company and the Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render
inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement)
or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s certificate of incorporation (or similar charter documents)
or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the Purchasers and
the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation
as a result of the Company’s issuance of the Shares and the Purchasers’ ownership of the Shares.
(y) Disclosure.
Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company
confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers or their agents or counsel

All of the disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers regarding the Company, its business and the transactions
contemplated hereby, including the Disclosure Schedules to this Agreement, 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 light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The press releases disseminated by the Company during the twelve
(12) months preceding the date of this Agreement taken as a whole do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made and when made, not misleading. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser makes or has made
any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth

Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or
sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the Shares
to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of (i) the Securities Act which would require the registration
of any such securities under the Securities Act, or (ii) any applicable shareholder approval provisions of any Trading Market on
which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.
(aa) Indebtedness.
Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(aa), The SEC Reports set forth all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of
the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments. For the purposes of this Agreement,
“Indebtedness” means (x) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $50,000 (other than
trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business), (y) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations
in respect of indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s balance sheet (or

to be capitalized in accordance with GAAP. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(aa), neither the Company nor any Subsidiary
is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.
(bb) Tax Status.
Except for matters that could not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to have or result in a Material
Adverse Effect, the Company and each Subsidiary (i) has made or filed all United States federal and state income and all foreign
income and franchise tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has paid all
taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns,
reports and declarations, except those being contested in good faith in appropriate proceedings, and (iii) has set aside on its

reports or declarations apply. 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 or of any Subsidiary know of no basis for any such claim.
(cc) No General
Solicitation. Neither the Company nor any person acting on behalf of the Company has offered or sold any of the Shares by any
form of general solicitation or general advertising. The Company has offered the Shares for sale only to the Purchasers.

in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated

contemplated thereby is merely incidental to the Purchasers’ purchase of the Shares. The Company further represents to each
Purchaser that the Company’s decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents has been based solely
on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company and its representatives.

3.2 Representations
and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser, for itself and for no other Purchaser, hereby represents and warrants as

(a) Organization;
Authority. Such Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with full right, corporate or partnership power and authority to enter into and
to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and
thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated

law.
(b) Own Account.
Such Purchaser understands that the Shares are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities
Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Shares as principal for its own account and not with a view to
or for distributing or reselling such Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities
law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Shares in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities
law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution
of such Shares in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law (this representation and warranty not
limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). Such
Purchaser is acquiring the Shares hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.
(c) Purchaser
Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Shares, it was, and as of the date hereof it is either: (i) an “accredited
investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified
institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act. Such Purchaser is not required to be registered
as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act.

an investment in the Shares and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
(e) General Solicitation.

nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, executed any purchases or sales, including
Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Purchaser first received
a term sheet (written or oral) as of the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms
of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Other than to other Persons party
to this Agreement, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction
(including the existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for avoidance of doubt, nothing contained
herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to the identification of the availability
of, or securing of, available shares to borrow in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.

in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such

is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate
right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to
treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect
to the purchase, disposition or voting of Shares or otherwise.
4.9 Certain Transactions
and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it, nor any

5.11 Execution.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together 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, it being
understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission
or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature 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 facsimile or “.pdf”
signature page were an original thereof.
5.12 Severability.
If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal,
void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full
force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated
by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that
they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be
hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
5.13 Replacement
of Shares. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall
issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu
of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also
pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Shares.
5.14 Independent
Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several
and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance
or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any
other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers
as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are
in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the
rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser
to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate
legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents.
5.15 Liquidated
Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction
Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other
amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages
or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.
5.16 Saturdays,
Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or
granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding
Business Day.
5.17 Construction.
The parties agree that each of them and/or 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 or any amendments hereto. In addition, each and
every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse
and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after
the date of this Agreement.
5.18 WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE
PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY,
IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.
