1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
August 14, 2026, Vuzix Corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Open Market Sales
AgreementSM (the “Sales Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”) with respect to an at the market
offering program under which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time at its sole discretion, shares of its common stock, par
value $0.001 per share (the “Common Shares”), subject to certain
conditions, through Jefferies as sales agent. This Sales Agreement replaces the prior Sales Agreement entered into between Jefferies
and the Company on February 9, 2024, and no sales will be made pursuant to the Prior Sales Agreement. The
issuance and sale, if any, of the Common Shares by the Company under the Sales Agreement will be made pursuant to the Company’s
effective registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-276997) (the “Registration Statement”) and the prospectus supplement
dated August 14, 2026, and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Rule 424(b) under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), which relates to the sale of Common Shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $100,000,000.
Pursuant
to the Sales Agreement, the Company will notify Jefferies of the number of Common Shares to be issued, the dates on which such sales are
anticipated to be made, any limitation on the number of shares to be sold in any one day and any minimum price below which sales may not
be made Jefferies may sell the Common Shares by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering”
as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Jefferies will use its commercially reasonable efforts to place
the Common Shares from time to time, based upon such instructions from the Company. The obligations of Jefferies under the Sales Agreement
to sell the Common Shares are subject to a number of conditions that we must meet.
The Company will pay Jefferies a commission equal
to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds we receive from the sale of the Common Shares. In addition, the Company has agreed
to reimburse Jefferies for certain expenses incurred in connection with the Sales Agreement and has provided Jefferies with customary
indemnification rights.
The offering of Common Shares pursuant to the Sales
Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all shares of our common stock subject to the Sales Agreement; and (ii) the
termination of the Sales Agreement as permitted therein. The Sales Agreement contains representations for the benefit of the Company and
Jefferies and other terms customary for similar agreements.
The foregoing description of the Sales Agreement
is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sales Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith
as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the opinion of Sichenzia
Ross Ference Carmel LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the Common Shares in the offering is attached as Exhibit 5.1
hereto.
This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not
constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities discussed herein, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation,
or sale of the securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration
or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.

Settlement Date, (4) each Triggering Event Date (as defined below) and (5) as of each Time of Sale (as defined below) (each
of the times referenced above is referred to herein as a “Representation Date”), except as may be disclosed in the
Prospectus (including any documents incorporated by reference therein and any supplements thereto) on or before a Representation Date:
(a) Registration
Statement. The Company has prepared and filed with the Commission a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-276997)
that contains a base prospectus (the “Base Prospectus”). Such registration statement registers the issuance and sale
by the Company of the Shares under the Securities Act. The Company may file one or more additional registration statements from time to
time that will contain a base prospectus and related prospectus or prospectus supplement, if applicable, with respect to the Shares. Except
where the context otherwise requires, such registration statement(s), including any information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to
Rule 430B under the Securities Act, including all financial statements, exhibits and schedules thereto and all documents incorporated
or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act as from time to time amended
or supplemented, is herein referred to as the “Registration Statement,” and the Base Prospectus, together with any
prospectus supplement filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act relating to a particular issuance
of the Shares, including all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3
under the Securities Act, in each case, as from time to time amended or supplemented, is referred to herein as the “Prospectus,”
except that if any revised prospectus is provided to the Agent by the Company for use in connection with the offering of the Shares that
is not required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, the term “Prospectus”
shall refer to such revised prospectus from and after the time it is first provided to the Agent for such use. The Registration Statement
at the time it originally became effective is herein called the “Original Registration Statement.” As used in this
Agreement, the terms “amendment” or “supplement” when applied to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus
shall be deemed to include the filing by the Company with the Commission of any document under the Exchange Act after the date hereof
that is or is deemed to be incorporated therein by reference.
3
All
references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is “contained,” “included”
or “stated” in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (and all other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean
and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in
or otherwise deemed under the Securities Act to be a part of or included in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case
may be, as of any specified date; and all references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus shall be deemed to mean and include, without limitation, the filing of any document under the Exchange Act which is or is deemed
to be incorporated by reference in or otherwise deemed under the Securities Act to be a part of or included in the Registration Statement
or the Prospectus, as the case may be, as of any specified date.
At the time the Registration
Statement was or will be originally declared effective and at the time the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K
was filed with the Commission, if later, the Company met the then-applicable requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Securities
Act. During the Agency Period, each time the Company files an annual report on Form 10-K with the Commission the Company will meet
the then-applicable requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Securities Act.
(b) Compliance
with Registration Requirements. The Original Registration Statement was declared effective by the Commission under the Securities
Act. Any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement filed after the date hereof that relates to the Shares will be automatically effective
following such filing and prior to the delivery of any Issuance Notice related to Shares registered thereby. The Company has complied
to the Commission’s satisfaction with all requests of the Commission for additional or supplemental information. No stop order suspending
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement is in effect and no proceedings for
such purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, are contemplated or threatened by the Commission.
The Prospectus when filed
complied or will comply, as applicable, in all material respects with the Securities Act and, if filed with the Commission through its
Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (“EDGAR”) (except as may be permitted by Regulation S-T
under the Securities Act), was or will be identical to the copy thereof delivered to the Agent for use in connection with the issuance
and sale of the Shares. Each of the Registration Statement, any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment
thereto, at the time it became or becomes effective and at each Representation Date, complied and will comply in all material respects
with the Securities Act and did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. As of the date of this Agreement, the Prospectus and
any Free Writing Prospectus (as defined below) if, and when available, considered together (collectively, the “Time of Sale Information”)
did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, as of its date and
at each Representation Date, did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The representations
and warranties set forth in the three immediately preceding sentences do not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration
Statement, any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, or any post-effective amendment thereto, or the Prospectus, or any amendments
or supplements thereto, made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to the Agent furnished to the Company in writing
by the Agent expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Agent to the Company
consists of the information described in Section 6 below. There are no contracts or other documents required to be described
in the Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement which have not been described or filed as required. The Registration
Statement and the offer and sale of the Shares as contemplated hereby meet the requirements of Rule 415 under the Securities Act
and comply in all material respects with said rule.
4
(c) Subsidiaries.
All of the direct and indirect subsidiaries (as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the Company (each,
a “Subsidiary”) are set forth in the Prospectus. The Company owns, directly or indirectly, all of the capital stock
or other equity interests of each Subsidiary free and clear of any lien, charge, pledge, security interest, encumbrance, right of first

violation 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 result in a Material Adverse Change (as defined below) and no action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding (including, without
limitation, an informal investigation or partial proceeding, such as a deposition), whether commenced or threatened has been instituted
in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority or qualification.
(e) Authorization;
Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and
the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company
and no further action is required by the Company, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”)
or the Company’s stockholders in connection herewith other than in connection with the Required Approvals (as defined below). This
Agreement has 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.
5
(f) No
Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement, the issuance and sale of the Shares and the consummation
by it of the transactions contemplated hereby 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, or (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,
anti-dilution or similar adjustments, 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 result in a Material Adverse Change.
(g) 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 this Agreement, other than such filings as are required to be made under
applicable state securities laws (collectively, the “Required Approvals”).
(h) Issuance
of Shares. The Shares are duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with this Agreement, will be duly and validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens. The holder of the Shares will not be subject to personal liability
by reason of being such holder. The Shares are not and will not be subject to the preemptive rights of any holders of any security of
the Company or similar contractual rights granted by the Company. All corporate action required to be taken for the authorization, issuance
and sale of the Shares has been duly and validly taken. The Shares conform in all material respects to all statements with respect thereto
contained in the Registration Statement.
6
(i) Capitalization.
The capitalization of the Company is as set forth in the Prospectus as of the dates set forth therein. The Company has not issued any
capital stock since its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act, other than pursuant to the exercise of employee stock
options under the Company’s stock option plans, the issuance of shares of Common Stock or any securities of the Company 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 (“Common Stock Equivalents”) to employees pursuant to the Company’s employee
stock option or purchase plans and pursuant to the conversion and/or exercise of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding as of the date of
the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act. No Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation,
or any similar right to participate in the transactions contemplated hereby. Except as set forth in the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus, there are no outstanding options, warrants, rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating
to, or securities, rights or obligations convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or giving any Person any right to subscribe
for or acquire, any shares of Common Stock or the capital stock of any Subsidiary, 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 or
the capital stock of any Subsidiary. The issuance and sale of the Shares will not obligate the Company or any Subsidiary to issue shares
of Common Stock or other securities to any Person (other than the issuance of the Shares). There are no outstanding securities or instruments
of the Company or any Subsidiary with any provision that adjusts the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price of such security or
instrument upon an issuance of securities by the Company or any Subsidiary. There are no outstanding securities or instruments of the
Company or any Subsidiary that contain any redemption or similar provisions, and there are no contracts, commitments, understandings or
arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to redeem a security of the Company or such Subsidiary. The
Company does not have any stock appreciation rights or “phantom stock” plans or agreements or any similar plan or agreement.
All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are duly authorized, 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 of any
preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities. The authorized shares of the Company conform in all material
respects to all statements relating thereto contained in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. The offers and sales of the Company’s
securities were at all relevant times either registered under the Securities Act and the applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws
or, based in part on the representations and warranties of the purchasers, exempt from such registration requirements. No further approval
or authorization of any stockholder, the Board of Directors or others is required for the issuance and sale of the Shares. There are no
stockholders agreements, voting agreements or other similar agreements with respect to the Company’s capital stock to which the
Company is a party or, to the knowledge of the Company, between or among any of the Company’s stockholders.
7
(j) SEC
Reports; Financial Statements. The Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be
filed by the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof,
for the two years preceding the date hereof (or such shorter period as the Company was required by law or regulation to file such material)
(the foregoing materials, including the exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, together with the Prospectus,
being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”) on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of
such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such extension. As of their respective dates, the
SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable, and none
of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
The interactive data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement fairly
presents the information called for in all material respects and has been prepared in accordance with the Commission’s rules and
guidelines applicable thereto. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with
applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time
of filing. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied
on a consistent basis during the periods involved (“GAAP”), except as may be otherwise specified in such financial
statements or the notes thereto and except that unaudited financial statements may not contain all footnotes required by GAAP, and fairly
present in all material respects the financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof
and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial,
year-end audit adjustments. The agreements and documents described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus conform to the descriptions
thereof contained therein and there are no agreements or other documents required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or to be filed with the Commission as exhibits to the Registration
Statement, that have not been so described or filed. Each agreement or other instrument (however characterized or described) to which
the Company is a party or by which it is or may be bound or affected and (i) that is referred to in the Registration Statement or
the Prospectus, or (ii) is material to the Company’s business, has been duly authorized and validly executed by the Company,
is in full force and effect in all material respects and is enforceable against the Company and, to the Company’s knowledge, the
other parties thereto, in accordance with its terms, except (x) as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, (y) as enforceability of any indemnification or contribution
provision may be limited under the federal and state securities laws, and (z) that the remedy of specific performance and injunctive
and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to the equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding
therefore may be brought. None of such agreements or instruments has been assigned by the Company, and neither the Company nor, to the
best of the Company’s knowledge, any other party is in default thereunder and, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, no
event has occurred that, with the lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default thereunder. To the best of
the Company’s knowledge, performance by the Company of the material provisions of such agreements or instruments will not result
in a violation of any existing applicable law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree of any governmental agency or court, domestic
or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its assets or businesses, including, without limitation, those relating to
environmental laws and regulations.

statement filed by the Company or any Subsidiary under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act.
(m) Labor
Relations. No labor dispute exists or, to the knowledge of the Company, is imminent with respect to any of the employees of the Company,
which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. None of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ employees
is a member of a union that relates to such employee’s relationship with the Company or such Subsidiary, and neither the Company
nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to a collective bargaining agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries believe that their relationships
with their employees are good. To the knowledge of the Company, no executive officer of the Company or any Subsidiary, is, or is now expected
to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement
or non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant in favor of any third party, and the 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 and hours, except where the
failure to be in compliance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change.

Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary: (i) is in default under or in violation of (and no event has occurred that has not been waived

any Subsidiary received notice of a claim that it is in default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture, loan or credit agreement
or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound (whether or not such default
or violation has been waived), (ii) is in violation of any judgment, decree or order of any court, arbitrator or other governmental
authority or (iii) is or has been in violation of any statute, rule, ordinance or regulation of any governmental authority, including

in a Material Adverse Change.
(o) Regulatory
Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal,
state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described in the Prospectus, except
where the failure to possess such permits could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change (each, a “Material
Permit”), and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification
of any Material Permit. The disclosures in the Registration Statement concerning the effects of Federal, State, local and all foreign
regulation on the Company’s business as currently contemplated are correct in all material respects.
(p) Title

lease or otherwise use, all real property and all personal property that is material to the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries,
in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for (i) 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 (ii) Liens
for the payment of federal, state or other taxes, for which appropriate reserves have been made therefor in accordance with GAAP, and
the payment of which is neither delinquent nor subject to penalties. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company

service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses and other intellectual property rights and similar rights
necessary or required for use in connection with their respective businesses as described in the Prospectus and which the failure to so
have could have a Material Adverse Change (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”). None of, and neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a notice (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,
except with respect to possible expirations of existing granted patents. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received, since the
date of the latest audited financial statements included in the Prospectus, 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 could not have or reasonably be expected
to not have a Material Adverse Change. 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 Change.

amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged, including, but not limited
to, directors and officers insurance coverage. 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 such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may
be necessary to continue its business without a significant increase in cost.
(s) Transactions
with Affiliates and Employees. Except as set forth in the Prospectus, none of the officers or directors of the Company or any Subsidiary

or consulting fees for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company and (iii) other
employee benefits, including stock option agreements under any stock option plan of the Company.

Act of 2002 that are effective as of the date hereof, and any and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission
thereunder that are effective as of the date hereof. The Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls
sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific
authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP
and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific

action is taken with respect to any differences. The Company and the Subsidiaries have established disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and the Subsidiaries and designed such disclosure
controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and
forms. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures of the Company
and the Subsidiaries as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date,
the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the
conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as
of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no 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.

Fees. Except as set forth in the Prospectus, no brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Company,
any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent, investment banker,
bank or other Person with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. To the Company’s knowledge, there are no other
arrangements, agreements or understandings of the Company or, to the Company’s knowledge, any of its stockholders that may affect
the Agent’s compensation, as determined by FINRA.
(v) Investment
Company. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Shares will not be or be

has taken no action designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common
Stock under the Exchange Act nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission is contemplating terminating such registration.
The Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received notice from the Principal Market to the effect that the Company
is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Principal Market. The Company is, and has no reason to believe
that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements. The Common
Stock is currently eligible for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation and
the Company is current in payment of the fees of the Depository Trust Company (or such other established clearing corporation) in connection
with such electronic transfer.
(y) 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 as a result of the Agent and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising
their rights under this Agreement.
12
(z) No
Integrated Offering. Neither the 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 any applicable shareholder approval provisions
of any Principal Market on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.
(aa) Solvency.
After giving effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Shares hereunder, (i) the fair saleable value
of the Company’s assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts
and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute
unreasonably small capital to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking
into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements
and capital availability thereof, and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive,
were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts
on or in respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability
to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The
Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under
the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the date hereof. The Prospectus sets forth as of the date
hereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary
has commitments. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.

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 and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all material taxes
for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, 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. The provisions for taxes payable, if any, shown on the financial statements filed with or as part of the Registration
Statement are sufficient for all accrued and unpaid taxes, whether or not disputed, and for all periods to and including the dates of
such consolidated financial statements. The term “taxes” mean all federal, state, local, foreign, and other net income, gross
income, gross receipts, sales, use, ad valorem, transfer, franchise, profits, license, lease, service, service use, withholding, payroll,
employment, excise, severance, stamp, occupation, premium, property, windfall profits, customs, duties or other taxes, fees, assessments,

expects to incur any liability under (i) Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination of, or withdrawal from, any “employee
benefit plan” or (ii) Sections 412, 4971, 4975 or 4980B of the Code. Each “employee benefit plan” established
or maintained by the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of
the Code is so qualified and nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, which would cause the loss of such qualification.

Outstanding Loans or Other Extensions of Credit. The Company does not have any outstanding extension of credit, in the form of a personal

material respects as required in connection with the operation of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries as currently conducted,
free and clear of all material bugs, errors, defects, Trojan horses, time bombs, malware and other corruptants. The Company and its Subsidiaries
have implemented and maintained commercially reasonable physical, technical and administrative controls, policies, procedures, and safeguards
to maintain and protect their material confidential information and the integrity, continuous operation, redundancy and security of all

number; (ii) any information which would qualify as “personally identifying information” under the Federal Trade Commission

outages or unauthorized uses of or accesses to same, except for those that have been remedied without material cost or liability or the
duty to notify any other person, nor any incidents under internal review or investigations relating to the same. The Company and its Subsidiaries

(ss) Compliance
with Data Privacy Laws. The Company and its Subsidiaries are, and at all times during the past five (5) years were, in material
compliance with all applicable state and federal data privacy and security laws and regulations, including without limitation HIPAA, and
the Company and its Subsidiaries have taken commercially reasonable actions to prepare to comply with, and since May 25, 2018, have

(collectively, the “Privacy Laws”). To ensure compliance with the Privacy Laws, the Company and its Subsidiaries have
in place, comply with, and take appropriate steps reasonably designed to ensure compliance in all material respects with their policies
and procedures relating to data privacy and security and the collection, storage, use, disclosure, handling, and analysis of Personal

have, to the knowledge of the Company, been inaccurate or in violation of any applicable Privacy Laws in any material respect. The Company
further certifies that during the past five (5) years neither it nor any subsidiary: (i) has received notice of any actual or
potential liability under or relating to, or actual or potential violation of, any of the Privacy Laws, and has no knowledge of any event
or condition that would reasonably be expected to result in any such notice; (ii) is currently conducting or paying for, in whole
or in part, any investigation, remediation, or other corrective action pursuant to any Privacy Law; or (iii) is a party to any order,
decree, or agreement that imposes any obligation or liability under any Privacy Law.
Any certificate signed by
any officer or representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and delivered to the Agent or counsel for the Agent in connection

on the date of such certificate.
The Company acknowledges that
the Agent and, for purposes of the opinions to be delivered pursuant to Section 4(p) hereof, counsel to the Company
and counsel to the Agent, will rely upon the accuracy and truthfulness of the foregoing representations and hereby consents to such reliance.

Section 3. ISSUANCE AND SALE OF COMMON SHARES
(a) Sale
of Securities. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions
herein set forth, the Company and the Agent agree that the Company may from time to time seek to sell Shares through the Agent, acting
as sales agent, or directly to the Agent, acting as principal, as follows, with an aggregate Sales Price of up to the Maximum Program
Amount, based on and in accordance with Issuance Notices as the Company may deliver, during the Agency Period.
(b) Mechanics
of Issuances.
(i) Issuance
Notice. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, on any Trading Day during the Agency Period on which the conditions
set forth in Section 5(a) and Section 5(b) shall have been satisfied, the Company may exercise
its right to request an issuance of Shares by delivering to the Agent an Issuance Notice; provided, however, that (A) in no event
may the Company deliver an Issuance Notice to the extent that the sum of (x) the aggregate Sales Price of the requested Issuance
Amount, plus (y) the aggregate Sales Price of all Shares issued under all previous Issuance Notices effected pursuant to this Agreement,
would exceed the Maximum Program Amount; and (B) prior to delivery of any Issuance Notice, the period set forth for any previous
Issuance Notice shall have expired or been terminated. An Issuance Notice shall be considered delivered on the Trading Day that it is
received by e-mail to the persons set forth in Schedule A hereto and confirmed by the Company by telephone (including a voicemail message
to the persons so identified), with the understanding that, with adequate prior written notice, the Agent may modify the list of such
persons from time to time.
(ii) Agent
Efforts. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, upon the receipt of an Issuance Notice, the Agent
will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal sales and trading practices to place the Shares with respect to
which the Agent has agreed to act as sales agent, subject to, and in accordance with the information specified in, the Issuance Notice,
unless the sale of the Shares described therein has been suspended, cancelled or otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement may modify an Issuance Notice at any time provided they both
agree in writing to any such modification.
(iii) Method
of Offer and Sale. The Shares may be offered and sold (A) in privately negotiated transactions with the consent of the Company;
(B) as block transactions; or (C) by any other method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering”
as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act, including sales made directly on the Principal Market or sales made into
any other existing Principal Market of the Common Shares. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require either party to agree to
the method of offer and sale specified in the preceding sentence, and (except as specified in clauses (A) and (B) above) the
method of placement of any Shares by the Agent shall be at the Agent’s discretion.
19
(iv) Confirmation
to the Company. If acting as sales agent hereunder, the Agent will provide written confirmation to the Company no later than the opening
of the Trading Day next following the Trading Day on which it has placed Shares hereunder setting forth the number of shares sold on such
Trading Day, the corresponding Sales Price and the Issuance Price payable to the Company in respect thereof.
(v) Settlement.
Each issuance of Shares will be settled on the applicable Settlement Date for such issuance of Shares and, subject to the provisions of
Section 5, on or before each Settlement Date, the Company will, or will cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer
the Shares being sold by crediting the Agent or its designee’s account at The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit/Withdrawal
At Custodian (DWAC) System, or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto and, upon receipt
of such Shares, which in all cases shall be freely tradable, transferable, registered shares in good deliverable form, the Agent will
deliver, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the related Issuance Price in same day funds delivered to an account designated
by the Company prior to the Settlement Date. The Company may sell Shares to the Agent as principal at a price agreed upon by the parties
at each relevant time Shares are sold pursuant to this Agreement (each, a “Time of Sale”).
(vi) Suspension
or Termination of Sales. Consistent with standard market settlement practices, the Company or the Agent may, upon notice to the other
party hereto in writing or by telephone (confirmed immediately by verifiable email), suspend any sale of Shares, and the period set forth
in an Issuance Notice shall immediately terminate; provided, however, that (A) such suspension and termination shall not affect or
impair either party’s obligations with respect to any Shares placed or sold hereunder prior to the receipt of such notice; (B) if
the Company suspends or terminates any sale of Shares after the Agent confirms such sale to the Company, the Company shall still be obligated
to comply with Section 3(b)(v) with respect to such Shares; and (C) if the Company defaults in its obligation
to deliver Shares on a Settlement Date, the Company agrees that it will hold the Agent harmless against any loss, claim, damage or expense
(including, without limitation, penalties, interest and reasonable legal fees and expenses), as incurred, arising out of or in connection
with such default by the Company. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, in performing its obligations under this Agreement, the
Agent may borrow Common Shares from stock lenders in the event that the Company has not delivered Shares to settle sales as required by
subsection (v) above, and may use the Shares to settle or close out such borrowings. The Company agrees that no such notice shall
be effective against the Agent unless it is made to the persons identified in writing by the Agent pursuant to Section 3(b)(i).
(vii) No
Guarantee of Placement, Etc. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (A) there can be no assurance that the Agent will be successful
in placing Shares; (B) the Agent will incur no liability or obligation to the Company or any other Person if it does not sell Shares;
and (C) the Agent shall be under no obligation to purchase Shares on a principal basis pursuant to this Agreement, except as otherwise
specifically agreed by the Agent and the Company.
20
(viii) Material
Non-Public Information. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company and the Agent agree that the Company shall
not deliver any Issuance Notice to the Agent, and the Agent shall not be obligated to place any Shares, during any period in which the
Company is in possession of material non-public information.
(c) Fees.
As compensation for services rendered, the Company shall pay to the Agent, on the applicable Settlement Date, the Selling Commission for
the applicable Issuance Amount (including with respect to any suspended or terminated sale pursuant to Section 3(b)(vi)) by
the Agent deducting the Selling Commission from the applicable Issuance Amount.
(d) Expenses.
The Company agrees to pay all costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder and in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation (i) all expenses incident to the issuance and
delivery of the Shares (including all printing and engraving costs); (ii) all fees and expenses of the registrar and transfer agent
of the Shares; (iii) all necessary issue, transfer and other stamp taxes in connection with the issuance and sale of the Shares;
(iv) all fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel, independent public or certified public accountants and other advisors;
(v) all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, printing, filing, shipping and distribution of the Registration
Statement (including financial statements, exhibits, schedules, consents and certificates of experts), the Prospectus, any Free Writing
Prospectus (as defined below) prepared by or on behalf of, used by, or referred to by the Company, and all amendments and supplements
thereto, and this Agreement; (vi) all filing fees, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Company or the Agent in connection
with qualifying or registering (or obtaining exemptions from the qualification or registration of) all or any part of the Shares for offer
and sale under the state securities or blue sky laws or the provincial securities laws of Canada, and, if requested by the Agent, preparing
and printing a “Blue Sky Survey” or memorandum and a “Canadian wrapper,” and any supplements thereto, advising
the Agent of such qualifications, registrations, determinations and exemptions; (vii) the reasonable fees and disbursements of the
Agent’s counsel, including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Agent in connection with, FINRA review, if any,
and approval of the Agent’s participation in the offering and distribution of the Shares; (viii) the filing fees incident to
FINRA review, if any; (ix) the costs and expenses of the Company relating to investor presentations on any “road show”
undertaken in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Shares, including, without limitation, expenses associated with the
preparation or dissemination of any electronic road show, expenses associated with the production of road show slides and graphics, fees
and expenses of any consultants engaged in connection with the road show presentations with the prior approval of the Company, travel
and lodging expenses of the representatives, employees and officers of the Company and, with the prior written approval of the Company,
of the Agent and any such consultants, and the cost of any aircraft chartered with the prior written approval of the Company in connection
with the road show; and (x) the fees and expenses associated with listing the Shares on the Principal Market. The fees and disbursements
of Agent’s counsel pursuant to subsections (vi) and (vii) above shall not exceed (A) $75,000 in connection with execution
of this Agreement and (B) $15,000 in connection with each Triggering Event Date (as defined below) on which the Company is required
to provide a certificate pursuant to Section 4(o).
21
Section 4. ADDITIONAL COVENANTS
The Company covenants and
agrees with the Agent as follows, in addition to any other covenants and agreements made elsewhere in this Agreement:
(a) Exchange
Act Compliance. During the Agency Period, the Company shall (i) file, on a timely basis, with the Commission all reports and
documents required to be filed under Section 13, 14 or 15 of the Exchange Act in the manner and within the time periods required
by the Exchange Act; and (ii) either (A) include in its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and its annual reports on Form 10-K,
a summary detailing, for the relevant reporting period, (1) the number of Shares sold through the Agent pursuant to this Agreement
and (2) the net proceeds received by the Company from such sales or (B) prepare a prospectus supplement containing, or include
in such other filing permitted by the Securities Act or Exchange Act (each an “Interim Prospectus Supplement”), such
summary information and, at least once a quarter and subject to this Section 4, file such Interim Prospectus Supplement pursuant
to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act (and within the time periods required by Rule 424(b) and Rule 430B under
the Securities Act).
(b) Securities
Act Compliance. After the date of this Agreement, the Company shall promptly advise the Agent in writing (i) of the receipt of
any comments of, or requests for additional or supplemental information from, the Commission; (ii) of the time and date of any filing
of any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement
to the Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus; (iii) of the time and date that any post-effective amendment to the Registration
Statement or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement becomes effective; and (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any
stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, any Rule 462(b) Registration
Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any Free Writing Prospectus
or the Prospectus, or of any proceedings to remove, suspend or terminate from listing or quotation the Common Shares from any securities
exchange upon which they are listed for trading or included or designated for quotation, or of the threatening or initiation of any proceedings
for any of such purposes. If the Commission shall enter any such stop order at any time, the Company will use its best efforts to obtain
the lifting of such order as soon as practicable. Additionally, the Company agrees that it shall comply with the provisions of Rule 424(b) and
Rule 433, as applicable, under the Securities Act and will use its reasonable efforts to confirm that any filings made by the Company
under such Rule 424(b) or Rule 433 were received in a timely manner by the Commission.
(c) Amendments
and Supplements to the Prospectus and Other Securities Act Matters. If any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which
it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus so that the Prospectus does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances when the Prospectus is
delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or if in the opinion of the Agent or counsel for the Agent it is otherwise necessary to amend
or supplement the Prospectus to comply with applicable law, including the Securities Act, the Company agrees (subject to Section 4(d) and
4(f)) to promptly prepare, file with the Commission and furnish at its own expense to the Agent, amendments or supplements to the Prospectus
so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances when the Prospectus is delivered
to a purchaser, not misleading or so that the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law including the Securities
Act. Neither the Agent’s consent to, or delivery of, any such amendment or supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the Company’s
obligations under Sections 4(d) and 4(f).
22
(d) Agent’s
Review of Proposed Amendments and Supplements. Prior to amending or supplementing the Registration Statement (including any registration
statement filed under Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act) or the Prospectus (excluding any amendment or supplement through
incorporation of any report filed under the Exchange Act, and excluding any prospectus supplement not relating to the sale of the Shares
hereunder), the Company shall furnish to the Agent for review, a reasonable amount of time prior to the proposed time of filing or use
thereof, a copy of each such proposed amendment or supplement, and the Company shall not file or use any such proposed amendment or supplement
without the Agent’s prior consent, and to file with the Commission within the applicable period specified in Rule 424(b) under
the Securities Act any prospectus required to be filed pursuant to such Rule.
(e) Use
of Free Writing Prospectus. Neither the Company nor the Agent has prepared, used, referred to or distributed, or will prepare, use,
refer to or distribute, without the other party’s prior written consent, any “written communication” that constitutes
a “free writing prospectus” as such terms are defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act with respect to the offering
contemplated by this Agreement (any such free writing prospectus being referred to herein as a “Free Writing Prospectus”).
(f) Free
Writing Prospectuses. The Company shall furnish to the Agent for review, a reasonable amount of time prior to the proposed time of
filing or use thereof, a copy of each proposed Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto to be prepared by or on
behalf of, used by, or referred to by the Company and the Company shall not file, use or refer to any proposed Free Writing Prospectus
or any amendment or supplement thereto without the Agent’s consent. The Company shall furnish to the Agent, without charge, as
many copies of any Free Writing Prospectus prepared by or on behalf of, or used by the Company, as the Agent may reasonably request.
If at any time when a prospectus is required by the Securities Act (including, without limitation, pursuant to Rule 173(d)) to be
delivered in connection with sales of the Shares (but in any event if at any time through and including the date of this Agreement) there
occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which any Free Writing Prospectus prepared by or on behalf of, used by, or
referred to by the Company conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement or included or would
include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company shall promptly amend or supplement
such Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict or so that the statements in such Free Writing Prospectus as so amended
or supplemented will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances prevailing at such subsequent time, not misleading, as the case may be; provided,
however, that prior to amending or supplementing any such Free Writing Prospectus, the Company shall furnish to the Agent for review,
a reasonable amount of time prior to the proposed time of filing or use thereof, a copy of such proposed amended or supplemented Free
Writing Prospectus and the Company shall not file, use or refer to any such amended or supplemented Free Writing Prospectus without the
Agent’s consent.
23
(g) Filing
of Agent Free Writing Prospectuses. The Company shall not take any action that would result in the Agent or the Company being required
to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act a Free Writing Prospectus prepared by or on behalf
of the Agent that the Agent otherwise would not have been required to file thereunder.
(h) Copies
of Registration Statement and Prospectus. After the date of this Agreement through the last time that a prospectus is required by
the Securities Act (including, without limitation, pursuant to Rule 173(d)) to be delivered in connection with sales of the Shares,
the Company agrees to furnish the Agent with copies (which may be electronic copies) of the Registration Statement and each amendment
thereto, and with copies of the Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto in the form in which it is filed with the Commission
pursuant to the Securities Act or Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, both in such quantities as the Agent may reasonably
request from time to time; and, if the delivery of a prospectus is required under the Securities Act or under the blue sky or securities
laws of any jurisdiction at any time on or prior to the applicable Settlement Date for any period set forth in an Issuance Notice in connection
with the offering or sale of the Shares and if at such time any event has occurred as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended
or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made when such Prospectus is delivered, not misleading, or, if
for any other reason it is necessary during such same period to amend or supplement the Prospectus or to file under the Exchange Act any
document incorporated by reference in the Prospectus in order to comply with the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, to notify the Agent
and to request that the Agent suspend offers to sell Shares (and, if so notified, the Agent shall cease such offers as soon as practicable);
and if the Company decides to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented, to advise
the Agent promptly by telephone (with confirmation in writing) and to prepare and cause to be filed promptly with the Commission an amendment
or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented that will correct such statement or omission
or effect such compliance; provided, however, that if during such same period the Agent is required to deliver a prospectus in respect
of transactions in the Shares, the Company shall promptly prepare and file with the Commission such an amendment or supplement.
(i) Blue
Sky Compliance. The Company shall cooperate with the Agent and counsel for the Agent to qualify or register the Shares for sale under
(or obtain exemptions from the application of) the state securities or blue sky laws or Canadian provincial securities laws (or other
foreign laws) of those jurisdictions designated by the Agent, shall comply with such laws and shall continue such qualifications, registrations
and exemptions in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Shares. The Company shall not be required to qualify as a foreign
corporation or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not presently
qualified or where it would be subject to taxation as a foreign corporation. The Company will advise the Agent promptly of the suspension
of the qualification or registration of (or any such exemption relating to) the Shares for offering, sale or trading in any jurisdiction
or any initiation or threat of any proceeding for any such purpose, and in the event of the issuance of any order suspending such qualification,
registration or exemption, the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal thereof as soon as practicable.
24
(j) Earnings
Statement. As soon as practicable, the Company will make generally available to its security holders and to the Agent an earnings
statement (which need not be audited) covering a period of at least twelve months beginning with the first fiscal quarter of the Company
occurring after the date of this Agreement which shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158
under the Securities Act.
(k) Listing;
Reservation of Shares. (a) The Company will maintain the listing of the Shares on the Principal Market; and (b) the Company
will reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, Shares for the purpose of enabling the Company to satisfy its
obligations under this Agreement.
(l) Transfer
Agent. The Company shall engage and maintain, at its expense, a registrar and transfer agent for the Shares.
(m) Due
Diligence. During the term of this Agreement, the Company will reasonably cooperate with any reasonable due diligence review conducted
by the Agent in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, providing information and making
available documents and senior corporate officers, during normal business hours and at the Company’s principal offices or virtually,
as the Agent may reasonably request from time to time.
(n) Representations
and Warranties. The Company acknowledges that each delivery of an Issuance Notice and each delivery of Shares on a Settlement Date
shall be deemed to be (i) an affirmation to the Agent that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in or made
pursuant to this Agreement are true and correct as of the date of such Issuance Notice or of such Settlement Date, as the case may be,
as though made at and as of each such date, except as may be disclosed in the Prospectus (including any documents incorporated by reference
therein and any supplements thereto); and (ii) an undertaking that the Company will advise the Agent if any of such representations
and warranties will not be true and correct as of the Settlement Date for the Shares relating to such Issuance Notice, as though made
at and as of each such date (except that such representations and warranties shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and
the Prospectus as amended and supplemented relating to such Shares).
(o) Deliverables
at Triggering Event Dates; Certificates. The Company agrees that on or prior to the date of the first Issuance Notice and, during
the term of this Agreement after the date of the first Issuance Notice, upon:
(i) the
filing of the Prospectus or the amendment or supplement of any Registration Statement or Prospectus (other than a prospectus supplement
relating solely to an offering of securities other than the Shares or a prospectus filed pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii)(B)), by means
of a post-effective amendment, sticker or supplement, but not by means of incorporation of documents by reference into the Registration
Statement or Prospectus;
25
(ii) the
filing with the Commission of an annual report on Form 10-K or a quarterly report on Form 10-Q (including any Form 10-K/A
or Form 10-Q/A containing amended financial information or a material amendment to the previously filed annual report on Form 10-K
or quarterly report on Form 10-Q), in each case, of the Company; or
(iii) the
filing with the Commission of a current report on Form 8-K of the Company (i) containing amended financial information (other
than information “furnished” pursuant to Item 2.02 or 7.01 of Form 8-K or to provide disclosure pursuant to Item 8.01
of Form 8-K relating to reclassification of certain properties as discontinued operations in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 144) and/or (ii) disclosing any material transaction requiring the filing of historical or pro forma
financial statements under Item 9.01 of Form 8-K and subject to the guidance set forth in Section 2050.3 of the Financial Reporting
Manual of the Commission which is material to the offering of securities of the Company in the Agent’s reasonable discretion;
(any such event, a “Triggering Event
Date”), the Company shall furnish the Agent (but in the case of clause (iii) above only if the Agent reasonably determines
that the information contained in such current report on Form 8-K of the Company is material) with a certificate as of the Triggering
Event Date, in the form and substance satisfactory to the Agent and its counsel, substantially similar to the form previously provided
to the Agent and its counsel, modified, as necessary, to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented,
(A) confirming that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement are true and correct, (B) confirming
that the Company has performed all of its obligations hereunder to be performed on or prior to the date of such certificate and as to
the matters set forth in Section 5(a)(iii) hereof, and (C) containing any other certification that the Agent
shall reasonably request. The requirement to provide a certificate under this Section 4(o) shall be waived for any Triggering
Event Date occurring at a time when no Issuance Notice is pending or a suspension is in effect, which waiver shall continue until the
earlier to occur of the date the Company delivers instructions for the sale of Shares hereunder (which for such calendar quarter shall
be considered a Triggering Event Date) and the next occurring Triggering Event Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company subsequently
decides to sell Shares following a Triggering Event Date when a suspension was in effect and did not provide the Agent with a certificate
under this Section 4(o), then before the Company delivers the instructions for the sale of Shares or the Agent sells any Shares pursuant
to such instructions, the Company shall provide the Agent with a certificate in conformity with this Section 4(o) dated as of
the date that the instructions for the sale of Shares are issued.
(p) Legal
Opinions. On or prior to the date of the first Issuance Notice and on or prior to each Triggering Event Date with respect to which
the Company is obligated to deliver a certificate pursuant to Section 4(o) for which no waiver is applicable and excluding the
date of this Agreement, a negative assurances letter and the written legal opinion of Sichenzia Ross Ference Carmel LLP, counsel to the
Company, Harter Secrest & Emery LLP, intellectual property counsel to the Company, and Paul Hastings LLP, counsel to the Agent,
each dated the date of delivery, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent and its counsel, substantially similar to the
form previously provided to the Agent and its counsel, modified, as necessary, to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus
as then amended or supplemented. In lieu of such opinions for subsequent periodic filings, in the discretion of the Agent, the Company
may furnish a reliance letter from such counsel to the Agent, permitting the Agent to rely on a previously delivered opinion letter, modified
as appropriate for any passage of time or Triggering Event Date (except that statements in such prior opinion shall be deemed to relate
to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented as of such Triggering Event Date).
26
(q) Comfort
Letter. On or prior to the date of the first Issuance Notice and on or prior to each Triggering Event Date with respect to which the
Company is obligated to deliver a certificate pursuant to Section 4(o) for which no waiver is applicable and excluding the date
of this Agreement, the Company shall cause WithumSmith+Brown, PC, the independent registered public accounting firm who has audited or
reviewed the financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, to furnish the Agent a comfort
letter, dated the date of delivery, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and its counsel, substantially similar
to the form previously provided to the Agent and its counsel; provided, however, that any such comfort letter will only be required on
the Triggering Event Date specified to the extent that it contains financial statements filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act
and incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference into a Prospectus. If requested by the Agent, the Company shall also cause
a comfort letter to be furnished to the Agent in connection with any material transaction or event requiring the filing of a current report
on Form 8-K containing material amended financial information of the Company, including the restatement of the Company’s financial
statements; provided, that, such comfort letter shall not be required to be delivered to the Agent unless and until the Company delivers
an Issuance Notice that is effective on or after the date of occurrence of such material transaction or event. Subject to the preceding
sentence, the Company shall be required to furnish no more than one comfort letter hereunder per each filing of an annual report on Form 10-K
or a quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
(r) Secretary’s
Certificate. On or prior to the date of the first Issuance Notice and on or prior to each Triggering Event Date, the Company shall
furnish the Agent a certificate executed by the Secretary of the Company, signing in such capacity, dated the date of delivery (i) certifying
that attached thereto are true and complete copies of the resolutions duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company authorizing
the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation,
the issuance of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement), which authorization shall be in full force and effect on and as of the date of
such certificate, (ii) certifying and attesting to the office, incumbency, due authority and specimen signatures of each Person
who executed this Agreement for or on behalf of the Company, and (iii) containing any other certification that the Agent shall reasonably
request.
(s) Agent’s
Own Account; Clients’ Account. The Company consents to the Agent trading, in compliance with applicable law, in the Common Shares
for the Agent’s own account and for the account of its clients at the same time as sales of the Shares occur pursuant to this Agreement.
(t) Investment
Limitation. The Company shall not invest, or otherwise use the proceeds received by the Company from its sale of the Shares in such
a manner as would require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.
27
(u) Market
Activities. The Company has neither taken, nor will take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that might be reasonably
expected to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Shares or any other reference security, whether to facilitate
the sale or resale of the Shares or otherwise, and the Company will, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to, comply with all applicable
provisions of Regulation M. If the limitations of Rule 102 of Regulation M (“Rule 102”) do not apply with
respect to the Shares or any other reference security pursuant to any exception set forth in Section (d) of Rule 102, then
promptly upon notice from the Agent (or, if later, at the time stated in the notice), the Company will, and shall cause each of its Affiliates
to, comply with Rule 102 as though such exception were not available but the other provisions of Rule 102 (as interpreted by
the Commission) did apply. The Company shall promptly notify the Agent if it no longer meets the requirements set forth in Section (d) of

or before the date on which delivery of such certificate is required pursuant to Section 4(o). The Company shall have
performed, satisfied and complied with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied
or complied with by the Company at or prior to such date, including, but not limited to, the covenants contained in Section 4(p),
Section 4(q) and Section 4(r).
(ii) No Injunction. No statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, ruling or injunction shall
have been enacted, entered, promulgated or endorsed by any court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction or any self-regulatory
organization having authority over the matters contemplated hereby that prohibits or directly and materially adversely affects any of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and no proceeding shall have been commenced that may have the effect of prohibiting or
materially adversely affecting any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(iii) Material Adverse Changes. Except as disclosed in the Prospectus and the Time of Sale Information,
(a) in the judgment of the Agent there shall not have occurred any Material Adverse Change; and (b) there shall not have occurred
any downgrading, nor shall any notice have been given of any intended or potential downgrading or of any review for a possible change

29
(b) Documents

or is necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
Section 6. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION
(a) Indemnification
of the Agent. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, its officers and employees, and each person, if any, who
controls the Agent within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense,
as incurred, to which the Agent or such officer, employee or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange
Act, other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or the laws or regulations of foreign jurisdictions where Shares have been offered
or sold or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense
(or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment thereto, including any information deemed to be a part thereof
pursuant to Rule 430B under the Securities Act, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in any Free Writing Prospectus that the Company has used, referred to or filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) of
the Securities Act or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material
fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (iii) any
act or failure to act or any alleged act or failure to act by the Agent in connection with, or relating in any manner to, the Common Shares
or the offering contemplated hereby, and which is included as part of or referred to in any loss, claim, damage, liability or action arising
out of or based upon any matter covered by clause (i) or (ii) above, provided that the Company shall not be liable under this
clause (iii) to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a final judgment that such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action resulted directly from any such acts or failures to act undertaken or omitted to be taken by the Agent through
its bad faith or willful misconduct, and to reimburse the Agent and each such officer, employee and controlling person for any and all
expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Agent) as such expenses are reasonably incurred by the Agent or
such officer, employee or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss,
claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, claim,
damage, liability or expense to the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by
the Agent expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any such Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement
thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Agent to the Company consists of the information
set forth in the first two sentences of the tenth paragraph under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Prospectus (the
“Agent Information”). The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 6(a) shall be in addition
to any liabilities that the Company may otherwise have.
30
(b) Indemnification
of the Company, its Directors and Officers. The Agent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each
of its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities
Act or the Exchange Act against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which the Company or any such director,
officer or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, other federal or state statutory law or
regulation, or the laws or regulations of foreign jurisdictions where Shares have been offered or sold or at common law or otherwise (including
in settlement of any litigation), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated
below) arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement, or any amendment thereto, including any information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B under the Securities
Act, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading; or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Free Writing
Prospectus that the Company has used, referred to or filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the Securities
Act or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary
in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and to reimburse
the Company and each such director, officer and controlling person for any and all expenses (including the fees and disbursements of one
counsel chosen by the Company) as such expenses are reasonably incurred by the Company or such officer, director or controlling person
in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action;
provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall apply to any loss, claim damage, liability or expense only to the extent,
arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Agent expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any such
Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such
information furnished by the Agent to the Company consists of the Agent Information. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 6
(b) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Agent may otherwise have.
31
(c) Notifications
and Other Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice
of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party
under this Section 6, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission so to notify
the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise
than under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6 or to the extent it is not prejudiced as a proximate result
of such failure. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek
indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall elect,
jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving
the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified
party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified
party shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party
in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which
are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to
select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified
party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party’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 this Section 6 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance
with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the fees
and expenses of more than one separate counsel (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 the Agent (in the case
of counsel for the indemnified parties referred to in Section 6(a) above) or by the Company (in the case of counsel for the
indemnified parties referred to in Section 6(b) above), (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory
to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the
indemnifying party has authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party,
in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party and shall be paid as they are
incurred.
32
(d) Settlements.
The indemnifying party under this Section 6 shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without
its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees
to indemnify the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding
the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party
for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by Section 6(c) hereof, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall
be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than
thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request; and (ii) such indemnifying party
shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying
party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of
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.
(e) Contribution.
If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient
to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each
indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, as incurred, as a result of any
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other hand, from the offering of the Shares pursuant to this
Agreement; or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the
Company, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the
Company, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall
be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total gross proceeds from the offering of the Shares (before deducting expenses)
received by the Company bear to the total Selling Commissions received by the Agent. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand,
and the Agent, 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 the Agent, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct
or prevent such statement or omission.
The
amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall
be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in, Section 6(c), any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably
incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in Section 6(c) with
respect to notice of commencement of any action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this Section 6(e); provided,
however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any action for which notice has been given under Section 6(c) for
purposes of indemnification.
The
Company and the Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6(e) were
determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred
to in this Section 6(e).
33
Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Section 6(e), the Agent shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of
the Selling Commissions received by the Agent in connection with the offering contemplated hereby. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty
of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 6(e), each officer and employee of the Agent
and each person, if any, who controls the Agent within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights
to contribution as the Agent, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and
each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights
to contribution as the Company.
Section 7. TERMINATION & SURVIVAL
(a) Term.
Subject to the provisions of this Section 7, the term of this Agreement shall continue from the date of this Agreement
until the end of the Agency Period, unless earlier terminated by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.
(b) Termination;
Survival Following Termination.
(i) Either
party may terminate this Agreement prior to the end of the Agency Period, by giving written notice as required by this Agreement, upon
ten (10) Trading Days’ notice to the other party; provided that, (A) if the Company terminates this Agreement after the
Agent confirms to the Company any sale of Shares, the Company shall remain obligated to comply with Section 3(b)(v) with
respect to such Shares and (B) Section 2, Section 6, Section 7 and Section 8
shall survive termination of this Agreement. If termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date for any sale of Shares, such sale
shall nevertheless settle in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(ii) In
addition to the survival provision of Section 7(b)(i), the respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties
and other statements of the Company, of its officers and of the Agent set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full
force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agent or the Company or any of its or their partners, officers
or directors or any controlling person, as the case may be, and, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, will survive delivery
of and payment for the Shares sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.
Section 8. MISCELLANEOUS
(a) Press
Releases and Disclosure. The Company may issue a press release describing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby
as soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, and may file with the Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K, with
this Agreement attached as an exhibit thereto, describing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Company
shall consult with the Agent prior to making such disclosures, and the parties hereto shall use all commercially reasonable efforts, acting
in good faith, to agree upon a text for such disclosures that is reasonably satisfactory to all parties hereto. No party hereto shall
issue thereafter any press release or like public statement (including, without limitation, any disclosure required in reports filed with
the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act) related to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior
written approval of the other party hereto, except as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the party seeking to
make disclosure to comply with the requirements of applicable law or stock exchange rules. If any such press release or like public statement
is so required, the party making such disclosure shall consult with the other party prior to making such disclosure, and the parties shall
use all commercially reasonable efforts, acting in good faith, to agree upon a text for such disclosure that is reasonably satisfactory
to all parties hereto.
34

Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
including the determination of any fees, are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Company and the Agent, (ii) when

the Company, or its stockholders, creditors, employees or any other party, (iii) the Agent has not assumed nor will assume an advisory
or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto
(irrespective of whether the Agent has advised or is currently advising the Company on other matters) and the Agent does not have any
obligation to the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement,
(iv) the Agent and its Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of
the Company, and (v) the Agent has not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby and the Company has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate.
(c) Research
Analyst Independence. The Company acknowledges that the Agent’s research analysts and research departments are required to and
should be independent from their respective investment banking divisions and are subject to certain regulations and internal policies,
and as such the Agent’s research analysts may hold views and make statements or investment recommendations and/or publish research
reports with respect to the Company or the offering contemplated by this Agreement that differ from the views of their respective investment
banking divisions. The Company understands that the Agent is a full service securities firm and as such from time to time, subject to
applicable securities laws, may effect transactions for its own account or the account of its customers and hold long or short positions
in debt or equity securities of the companies that may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

of Manhattan in the City of New York or the courts of the State of New York in each case located in the Borough of Manhattan in the City
of New York (collectively, the “Specified Courts”), and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction
(except for proceedings instituted in regard to the enforcement of a judgment of any such court, as to which such jurisdiction is non-exclusive)
of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail to such party’s
address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court. The
parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or other proceeding in the Specified

Re: Vuzix Corporation
– Common Stock
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Vuzix Corporation,
a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration
Statement”), filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), relating to the offering and sale from time to time, as set forth in the Registration
Statement, any amendment thereto the form of base prospectus contained therein (the “Prospectus”), and one or more supplements
to the Prospectus (each, a “Prospectus Supplement”), by the Company of up to $300,000,000 aggregate initial offering price
of securities consisting of (i) shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”),
(ii) shares of the Company’s preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), (iii) warrants (“Warrants”)
to purchase Common Stock or Preferred Stock, or (iv) units consisting of Common Stock, Preferred Stock, or Warrants, or any combination
thereof, in one or more series (the “Units”). The Common Stock, Preferred Stock, Warrants and Units are collectively referred
to herein as the “Securities.”
You have requested our opinion as to the matters
set forth below in connection with the offer and sale of up to $100,000,000 of shares Common Stock, that may be sold pursuant to that
certain Open Market Sale AgreementSM dated as of August 14, 2026 (the “Sales Agreement”), entered into by
and among the Company and Jefferies LLC, as agent. For the purposes of rendering the opinions set forth below, we have examined (i) the
Registration Statement, including the exhibits filed therewith or incorporated by reference therein, (ii) the Prospectus, (iii) the
Prospectus Supplement relating to the Common Stock that may be sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement filed with the Commission on August
14, 2026, (iv) the Company’s amended and restated articles of incorporation, as amended or supplemented (the “Articles of
Incorporation”), (v) the Company’s amended and restated bylaws, as amended (the “Bylaws”), (vi) the corporate
resolutions and other actions of the Company that authorize and provide for the filing of the Registration Statement and Prospectus Supplement,
and we have made such other investigation as we have deemed appropriate. We have not independently established any of the facts so relied
on.

We have assumed the accuracy and completeness
of each document submitted to us, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the
conformity to authentic original documents of all copies submitted to us or filed with the Commission as conformed and certified or reproduced
copies and the due execution and delivery of all documents where due execution and delivery are prerequisites to the effectiveness thereof.
As to any facts material to our opinion, we have made no independent investigation of such facts and have relied, to the extent that we
deem such reliance proper, upon certificates of public officials and officers or other representatives of the Company. We have further
assumed the legal capacity of natural persons, that persons identified to us as officers of the Company are actually serving in such capacity,
that the representations of officers and employees of the Company are correct as to questions of fact, that the board of directors of
the Company (“Board”) will have taken all action necessary to set the issuance price of the Securities to be offered and sold
and that each party to the documents we have examined or relied on (other than the Company) has the power, corporate or other, to enter
into and perform all obligations thereunder and also have assumed the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate or other, the
execution and delivery by such parties of such documents, and the validity and binding effect thereof on such parties. We have not independently
verified any of these assumptions.
All references in this opinion letter to the Board
are intended to include an authorized committee thereof empowered and authorized to act under the Delaware General Corporation Law in
lieu of the full board of directors of the Company.
Based upon the foregoing and in reliance thereon,
and subject to the assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Common Stock
to be issued and sold by the Company have been duly authorized for issuance and, when the Common Stock are issued and paid for in accordance
with the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, the Common Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of
Common Stock.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion
as Exhibit 5.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K to which it is attached and to the use of our name under the caption “Legal Matters”
in the Registration Statement and in the Prospectus Supplement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are experts with
respect to any part of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement within the meaning of the term “expert,”
as used in Section 11 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Commission, nor do we admit that
we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission
promulgated thereunder.
Very truly yours,
Sichenzia Ross Ference Carmel LLP
