Such shares are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “ Shares ” and are described in the Prospectus referred to below.

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) a registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-225517), which became effective on June 29, 2018 (the “ registration statement ”) for the registration of the Shares and other securities of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “ Act ”); and such registration statement sets forth the terms of any offering of Shares, sale and plan of distribution of the Shares and contains additional information concerning the Company and its business. Except where the context otherwise requires, “ Registration Statement ,” as used herein, means the registration statement, as amended at the time of such registration statement’s effectiveness for purposes of Section 11 of the Act, as such section applies to the Agent, including (1) all documents filed as a part thereof or incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, (2) any information contained or incorporated by reference in a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act, to the extent such information is deemed, pursuant to Rule 430B or Rule 430C under the Act, to be part of the registration statement at the effective time, and (3) any registration statement filed to register the offer and sale of Shares pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Act.

Except where the context otherwise requires, as used herein: “ Base Prospectus ” means the prospectus dated June 8, 2018, filed as part of the Registration Statement, including the documents incorporated by reference therein as of the date of such prospectus; “ Prospectus Supplement ” means the prospectus supplement relating to the Shares, filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act on or before the second business day after the date hereof (or such earlier time as may be required under the Act), in the form furnished by the Company to the Agent in connection with any offering of Shares; “ Prospectus ” means the Prospectus Supplement (and any additional prospectus supplement prepared in accordance with the provision of Section 4(c) of this Agreement and filed in accordance with the provisions of Rule 424(b)) together with the Base Prospectus attached to or used with the Prospectus Supplement; “ Permitted Free Writing Prospectus ” means the documents listed on Exhibit C attached hereto and any other “ Issuer Free Writing Prospectus ” (as defined in Rule 433 of the Act) that relates to the Shares, and which the Company and Raymond James reasonably agree from time to time is a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus. Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus shall, unless otherwise stated, be deemed to refer to and include the documents, if any, incorporated by reference, or deemed to be incorporated by reference, therein (the “ Incorporated Documents ”), including, unless the context otherwise requires, the documents, if any, filed as exhibits to such Incorporated Documents. Any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus shall, unless stated otherwise, be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “ Exchange Act ”) on or after the initial effective date of the Registration Statement, or the date of the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus or such Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, as the case may be, and deemed to be incorporated therein by reference.

The Company and the Agent agree as follows:

Issuance and Sale .

Upon the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and provided the Company provides the Agent with all due diligence materials and information reasonably requested by the Agent and necessary for the Agent to satisfy its due diligence obligations, on any Exchange Business Day (as defined below) selected by the Company, the Company and the Agent shall enter into an agreement in accordance with Section 2 hereof regarding the number of Shares to be placed by the Agent, as agent, and the manner in which and other terms upon which such placement is to occur (each such transaction being referred to as an “ Agency Transaction ”). The Company may also offer to sell the Shares directly to the Agent, as principal, in which event such parties shall enter into a separate agreement (each, a “ Terms Agreement ”) in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, relating to such sale in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement (each such transaction being referred to as a “ Principal Transaction ”). As used herein, (i) the “ Term ” shall be the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the earlier of (x) the date on which the aggregate Gross Sales Price (as defined in Section 2(b) below) of Shares issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement and any Terms Agreements is equal to the Maximum Amount and (y) any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8, (ii) an “ Exchange Business Day ” means any day during the Term that is a trading day for the Exchange (as defined below) other than a day on which trading on the Exchange is scheduled to close prior to its regular weekday closing time, and (iii) “ Exchange ” means the Nasdaq Capital Market (“ Nasdaq ”).

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, the Company appoints the Agent as agent in connection with the offer and sale of Shares in any Agency Transactions entered into hereunder. The Agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, to sell such Shares in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions hereof and of the applicable Transaction Acceptance (as defined in Section 2(a) below). Neither the Company nor the Agent shall have any obligation to enter into an Agency Transaction. The Company shall be obligated to issue and sell through the Agent, and the Agent shall be obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and as provided herein and in the applicable Transaction Acceptance, to place Shares only if and when the Company makes a Transaction Proposal (as defined in Section 2(a) below) to the Agent related to such an Agency Transaction and a Transaction Acceptance related to such Agency Transaction has been delivered to the Company by the Agent as provided in Section 2 below.

The Agent, as agent in any Agency Transaction, hereby covenants and agrees not to make any sales of the Shares on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement other than (i) by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions between members of the Exchange that qualify for delivery of a Prospectus in accordance with Rule 153 under the Act and meet the definition of an “at-the-market offering” under Rule 415(a)(4) under the Act (such transactions are hereinafter referred to as “ At-the-Market Offerings ”), and (ii) such other sales of the Shares on behalf of the Company in its capacity as agent of the Company as shall be agreed by the Company and the Agent in writing.

If Shares are to be sold in an Agency Transaction in an At-the-Market Offering, the Agent will confirm in writing to the Company the number of Shares sold on any Exchange Business Day and the related Gross Sales Price and Net Sales Price (as each of such terms is defined in Section 2(b) below) no later than the opening of trading on the immediately following Exchange Business Day.

If the Company shall default on its obligation to deliver Shares to the Agent pursuant to the terms of any Agency Transaction or Terms Agreement, as applicable, other than as the result of bad faith or willful misconduct of the Agent, the Company shall (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and its successors and assigns from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arising from or as a result of such default by the Company, and (ii) notwithstanding any such default, pay to the Agent the commission to which it would otherwise be entitled in connection with such sale in accordance with Section 2(b) below.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) there can be no assurance that the Agent will be successful in selling the Shares, (ii) the Agent shall not incur any liability or obligation to the Company or any other person or entity if it does not sell Shares for any reason other than a failure by the Agent to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable law and regulations to sell such Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (iii) the Agent shall not be under any obligation to purchase Shares on a principal basis pursuant to this Agreement, except as may otherwise be specifically agreed by the Agent and the Company in a Terms Agreement.

Transaction Acceptances and Terms Agreements .

The Company may, from time to time during the Term, propose to the Agent that they enter into an Agency Transaction to be executed on a specified Exchange Business Day or over a specified period of Exchange Business Days, which proposal shall be made to the Agent by telephone or by email and shall set forth the information specified below (each, a “ Transaction Proposal ”). If the Agent agrees to the terms of such proposed Agency Transaction or if the Company and the Agent mutually agree to modified terms for such proposed Agency Transaction, then the Agent shall promptly deliver to the Company by email a notice (each, a “ Transaction Acceptance ”) confirming the terms of such proposed Agency Transaction as set forth in such Transaction Proposal or setting forth the modified terms for such proposed Agency Transaction as agreed by the Company and the Agent, as the case may be, whereupon such Agency Transaction shall become a binding agreement between the Company and the Agent. Each Transaction Proposal shall specify:

(i)

the Exchange Business Day(s) on which the Shares subject to such Agency Transaction are intended to be sold (each, a “ Purchase Date ”);

(ii)

the maximum number of Shares to be sold by the Agent (the “ Specified Number of Shares ”) on, or over the course of, such Purchase Date(s), or as otherwise agreed between the Company and such Agent and documented in the relevant Transaction Acceptance;

(iii)

the lowest price, if any, at which the Company is willing to sell Shares on each such Purchase Date or a formula pursuant to which such lowest price shall be determined (each, a “ Floor Price ”); and

(iv)

the Agent’s discount or commission, in accordance with Section 2(b) below.

In the event that more than one Transaction Acceptance with respect to any Purchase Date(s) is delivered by the Agent to the Company, the latest Transaction Acceptance shall govern any sales of Shares for the relevant Purchase Date(s), except to the extent of any action occurring pursuant to a prior Transaction Acceptance and prior to the delivery to the Company of the latest Transaction Acceptance. The Company or the Agent may, upon notice to the other such party by telephone (confirmed promptly by e-mail), suspend or terminate any offering of Shares pursuant to Agency Transactions for any reason; provided , however , that such suspension or termination shall not affect or impair the parties’ respective obligations with respect to the Shares sold hereunder prior to the giving of such notice or their respective obligations under any Terms Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the terms of any Agency Transaction contemplate that Shares shall be sold on more than one Purchase Date, then the Company and the Agent shall mutually agree to such additional terms and conditions as they deem reasonably necessary in respect of such multiple Purchase Dates, and such additional terms and conditions shall be set forth in or confirmed by, as the case may be, the relevant Transaction Acceptance and be binding to the same extent as any other terms contained therein. During the term of any such suspension, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver (or cause to be delivered) any of the documents referred to in Sections 6(b) through 6(d) hereof, be deemed to affirm any of the representations or warranties in this Agreement pursuant to Section 3 or 6(a) hereof, or be obligated to conduct any due diligence session referred to in Section 6(f) hereof until the termination of the suspension and the recommencement of any offering of Shares pursuant to this Agreement.

The Purchase Date(s) in respect of the Shares deliverable pursuant to any Transaction Acceptance shall be set forth in or confirmed by, as the case may be, the applicable Transaction Acceptance. Except as otherwise agreed between the Company and the Agent, the Agent’s commission for any Shares sold through the Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be a percentage equal to 3.0% of the actual sales price of such Shares (the “ Gross Sales Price ”), which commission shall be as set forth in and confirmed by, as the case may be, the applicable Transaction Acceptance; provided , however , that such commission shall not apply when the Agent acts as principal in a Principal Transaction, in which case such commission or a discount shall be set forth in the applicable Terms Agreement. In addition, in the event the Company engages the Agent for a sale of Shares in an Agency Transaction that would constitute a “distribution” within the meaning of Rule 100 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act, the Agent’s commission for any such transaction shall be 3.0% for any Shares sold. The Gross Sales Price less the Agent’s commission and after deduction for any transaction fees, transaction taxes or similar taxes or fees imposed by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory organization in respect of the sale of the applicable Shares is referred to herein at the “ Net Sales Price .”

Payment of the Net Sales Price for Shares sold by the Company on any Purchase Date pursuant to a Transaction Acceptance shall be made to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Company (which the Company shall provide to the Agent at least one Exchange Business Day prior to the applicable Agency Settlement Date (as defined below)) against delivery of such Shares to the Agent’s account, or an account of the Agent’s designee, at The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian System (“ DWAC ”) or by such other means of delivery as may be agreed to by the Company and the Agent. Such payment and delivery shall be made at or about 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Exchange Business Day following each Purchase Date, unless another date shall be agreed upon by the Company and the Agent (each, an “ Agency Settlement Date ”).

If, as provided in the related Transaction Proposal, a Floor Price has been set by the Company with respect to a Purchase Date and the Agent thereafter determines and notifies the Company that the Gross Sales Price for such Agency Transaction would not be at least equal to such Floor Price, then the Company shall not be obligated to issue and sell through the Agent, and the Agent shall not be obligated to place, the Shares proposed to be sold pursuant to such Agency Transaction on such Purchase Date, unless the Company and the Agent otherwise agree in writing.

If either the Company or the Agent has reason to believe that the exemptive provisions set forth in Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M under the Exchange Act are not satisfied with respect to the Shares, it shall promptly notify the other party, and sales of the Shares under this Agreement, any Transaction Acceptance or any Terms Agreement shall be suspended until that or other exemptive provisions have been satisfied in the reasonable judgment of each party. On or prior to the delivery of a prospectus that is required (whether physically or through compliance with Rule 172 under the Act or any similar rule) in connection with any offering of Shares or sale of the Shares, the Company and the Agent shall calculate the average daily trading volume (as defined under “ ADTV ” by Rule 100 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act) of the Common Stock based on market data provided by Bloomberg L.P. or such other sources as agreed upon by the Company and the Agent.

If the Company wishes to issue and sell the Shares pursuant to this Agreement but other than as set forth in Section 2(a) of this Agreement to the Agent as principal in a Principal Transaction, it will notify the Agent of the proposed terms of the Principal Transaction. If the Agent, acting as principal, wishes to accept such proposed terms (which it may decline to do for any reason in its sole discretion) or, following discussions with the Company, wishes to accept amended terms, the Company and the Agent shall enter into a Terms Agreement setting forth the terms of such Principal Transaction. The terms set forth in a Terms Agreement shall not be binding on the Company or the Agent unless and until the Company and the Agent have each executed and delivered such Terms Agreement accepting all of the terms of such Terms Agreement. Each sale of the Shares to the Agent in a Principal Transaction shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and a Terms Agreement, which shall provide for the sale of such Shares to, and the purchase thereof by, the Agent, as principal. A Terms Agreement may also specify certain provisions relating to the reoffering of such Shares by the Agent. The commitment of the Agent to purchase the Shares pursuant to any Terms Agreement shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company contained, and shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth, in this Agreement and such Terms Agreement. Any such Terms Agreement shall specify the number of the Shares to be purchased by the Agent pursuant thereto, the price to be paid to the Company for such Shares, any provisions relating to rights of, and default by, the Agent, if any, acting together with the Agent in the reoffering of the Shares, and the time and date (each such time and date being referred to herein as a “ Principal Settlement Date ”; and, together with any Agency Settlement Date, a “ Settlement Date ”) and place of delivery of and payment for such Shares. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of a Terms Agreement, the terms of such Terms Agreement shall control.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not offer, sell or deliver, or request the offer or sale, of any Shares pursuant to this Agreement (whether in an Agency Transaction or a Principal Transaction) and, by notice to the Agent given by telephone (confirmed promptly by email), shall cancel any instructions for the offer or sale of any Shares, and the Agent shall not be obligated to offer or sell any Shares, (i) during any period in which the Company is, or reasonably could be deemed to be, in possession of material non-public information, or (ii) at any time from and including the date on which the Company shall issue a press release containing, or shall otherwise publicly announce, its earnings, revenues or other results of operations (an “ Earnings Announcement ”) through and including the time that is 24 hours after the time that the Company files a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or an Annual Report on Form 10-K that includes consolidated financial statements as of and for the same period or periods, as the case may be, covered by such Earnings Announcement.

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, a Transaction Proposal shall not set forth a Specified Number of Shares that, when added to the aggregate number or aggregate Gross Sales Price of Shares previously purchased and to be purchased pursuant to pending Transaction Acceptances (if any) hereunder and any Terms Agreements, results or could result in a total number of shares that exceeds the Maximum Amount nor shall it set forth a Floor Price which is lower than the minimum price authorized from time to time by the Company’s board of directors (the “ Board ”) or, if permitted by applicable law and the Company’s charter and bylaws, a duly authorized committee thereof. Moreover, the Company shall not authorize the issuance and sale of, and the Agent, as sales agent, shall not be obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, to sell, any Shares at a price lower than the Floor Price, or in a number or with an aggregate gross or net sales price in excess of the number or aggregate gross or net sales price, as the case may be, authorized from time to time to be issued and sold under this Agreement and any Terms Agreement, in each case by the Board or, if permitted by applicable law and the Company’s charter and bylaws, a duly authorized committee thereof, or in a number in excess of the number of Shares approved for listing on the Exchange, or in excess of the number or amount of Shares available for issuance on the Registration Statement or in excess of the number or amount of Shares for which the Company has filed the Prospectus Supplement or other prospectus supplement specifically relating to the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement or as to which the Company has paid the applicable registration fee, it being understood and agreed by the parties hereto that compliance with any such limitations shall be the sole responsibility of the Company. Furthermore, the Company shall have responsibility for maintaining records with respect to the aggregate number and aggregate Gross Sales Price of Shares sold and for otherwise monitoring the availability of Shares for sale under the Registration Statement and for ensuring that the aggregate number and aggregate Gross Sales Price of Shares offered and sold does not exceed, and the price at which any Shares are offered or sold is not lower than, the aggregate number and aggregate Gross Sales Price of Shares and the minimum price authorized from time to time by the Board or, if permitted by applicable law and the Company’s charter and bylaws, a duly authorized committee thereof.

Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Company .

Form S-3 . The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Act. As of the close of trading on Nasdaq on March 29, 2019, the aggregate market value of the outstanding voting and non-voting common equity (as defined in Rule 405) of the Company held by persons other than affiliates of the Company (pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act, those that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, control, or are controlled by, or are under common control with, the Company) (the “ Non-Affiliate Shares ”), was equal to or greater than $75.0 million (calculated by multiplying (x) the price at which the common equity of the Company was last sold on the Exchange on March 29, 2019 by (y) the number of Non-Affiliate Shares outstanding on March 29, 2019). The Company is not, and has not been for at least 12 calendar months prior to the filing of the Registration Statement, a shell company. The Company has prepared and filed with the Commission in accordance with the provisions of the Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, the Registration Statement, relating to, among other things, the Shares. 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 such Rule. In the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” in the Prospectus Supplement, the Company has named Raymond James & Associates, Inc. as an agent that the Company has engaged in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. When the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto was or is declared effective, it (i) complied or will comply, in all material respects, with the requirements of the Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and (ii) did not or will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading. When any Prospectus was first filed with the Commission (whether filed as part of the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto or pursuant to Rule 424 of the Act) and when any amendment thereof or supplement thereto was first filed with the Commission, such Prospectus as amended or supplemented, together with all of the then issued Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Act and did not or will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any 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. If applicable, the Prospectus delivered to the Agent for use in connection with this offering was identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the representations and warranties in this paragraph 3(a) shall apply to statements in, or omissions from, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information herein or otherwise furnished in writing by the Agent specifically for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or such Permitted Free Writing Prospectus. With respect to the preceding sentence, the Company acknowledges that the only information furnished in writing by the Agent for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus are the statements set forth in Exhibit D hereto (collectively, the “ Information Supplied by the Agent ”). As used herein, “ Time of Sale ” means (i) with respect to each offering of Shares pursuant to this Agreement, the time of the Agent’s initial entry into contracts for the sale of such Shares, and (ii) with respect to each offering of Shares pursuant to any relevant Terms Agreement, the time of sale of such Shares.

Representation Date . As of each Representation Date, none of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus includes or will include any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state any 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; provided, however, that this representation and warranty shall not apply to statements in or omissions in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Information Supplied by the Agent.

No Stop Orders . The Registration Statement is effective under the Act and no stop order preventing or suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or suspending or preventing the use of the Prospectus or any free writing prospectus has been issued by the Commission and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are threatened under the Act. Any required filing of the Prospectus and any supplement thereto pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Act has been or will be made in the manner and within the time period required by such Rule 424(b). Any material required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 433(d) or Rule 163(b)(2) of the Act has been or will be made in the manner and within the time period required by such rules.

Incorporation by Reference. The Incorporated Documents, at the time they became effective or were filed with the Commission, as the case may be, complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and none of the Incorporated Documents contained an 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, and any further documents so filed and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus, when such documents become effective or are filed with the Commission, as the case may be, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and will not contain an 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, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

Certain Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees with the Agent as follows:

The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto to become effective, if it has not already become effective, and will advise you promptly, and if requested by you, will confirm such advice in writing (i) when the Registration Statement has become effective and the time and date of any filing of any post-effective Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus and the time and date that any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement becomes effective, (ii) of the receipt of any comments of the Commission, or any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of the suspension of qualification of the Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purposes; and (iv) within the period of time referred to in Section 4(h) hereof, of any change in the Company’s condition (financial or other), business, prospects, properties, net worth or results of operations, or of any event that comes to the attention of the Company that makes any statement made in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any additions thereto or changes therein in order to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading in any material respect, or of the necessity to amend or supplement the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) to comply with the Act or any other law. If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest practicable time. The Company will provide the Agent with copies of the form of Prospectus, in such number as the Agent may reasonably request, and file with the Commission such Prospectus in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the Act before the close of business on the first business day immediately following the date hereof.

The Company will furnish to you, without charge, two signed duplicate originals of the Registration Statement as originally filed with the Commission and of each amendment thereto, including financial statements and all exhibits thereto, and will also furnish to you, without charge, such number of conformed copies of the Registration Statement as originally filed and of each amendment thereto as you may reasonably request.

The Company will promptly file with the Commission any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus that may, in the reasonable judgment of the Company or the Agent be required by the Act or requested by the Commission.

The Company will furnish a copy of any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or to the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to you and counsel for the Agent and obtain your consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld, prior to filing any of those with the Commission.

The Company will not make any offer relating to the Common Stock that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus without your prior consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld.

The Company will retain in accordance with the Act all Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses not required to be filed pursuant to the Act; and, if at any time after the date hereof any events shall have occurred as a result of which any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, would conflict with the information in the Registration Statement, the most recent preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus or 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or, if for any other reason it shall be necessary to amend or supplement any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, to notify you and, upon your request, to file such document and to prepare and furnish without charge to the Agent as many copies as the Agent may from time to time reasonably request of an amended or supplemented Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that will correct such conflict, statement or omission or effect such compliance.

Prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company has delivered or will deliver to you, without charge, in such quantities as you have requested or may hereafter reasonably request, copies of each form of the Prospectus. Consistent with the provisions of Section 4(h) hereof, the Company consents to the use, in accordance with the provisions of the Act and with the securities or blue sky laws of the jurisdictions in which the Shares are offered by the Agent, prior to the date of the Prospectus, of each preliminary prospectus so furnished by the Company.

As soon after the execution and delivery of this Agreement as is practicable and thereafter from time to time for such period as in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Agent a prospectus is required by the Act to be delivered in connection with sales by the Agent, and for so long a period as you may request for the distribution of the Shares, the Company will deliver to the Agent, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus and any Time of Sale information in a Terms Agreement (and of any amendment or supplement thereto) as they may reasonably request. The Company consents to the use of the Prospectus and the Time of Sale information (and of any amendment or supplement thereto) in accordance with the provisions of the Act and with the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the jurisdictions in which the Shares are offered by the Agent both in connection with any offering and sale of Shares and for such period of time thereafter as the Prospectus is required by the Act to be delivered in connection with sales by the Agent or any dealer. If at any time prior to the later of (i) the completion of the distribution of the Shares pursuant to any offering of Shares contemplated by the Registration Statement, or (ii) the expiration of prospectus delivery requirements with respect to the Shares under Section 4(a)(3) of the Act and Rule 174 thereunder, any event shall occur that in the judgment of the Company or in the opinion of counsel for the Agent is required to be set forth in the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) or should be set forth therein in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary to supplement or amend the Prospectus to comply with the Act or any other law, the Company will forthwith prepare and, subject to Section 5 hereof, file with the Commission and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to become effective as promptly as possible an appropriate supplement or amendment thereto, and will furnish to the Agent, without charge, a reasonable number of copies thereof.

The Company will cooperate with the Agent and counsel for the Agent in connection with the registration or qualification of the Shares for offering and sale by the Agent under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Agent may reasonably designate and will file such consents to the service of process or other documents as may be reasonably necessary in order to effect and maintain such registration or qualification for so long as required to complete the distribution of the Shares; provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to the general service of process in suits, other than those arising out of any offering of Shares or sale of the Shares, as contemplated by this Agreement and the Prospectus, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject. In the event that the qualification of the Shares in any jurisdiction is suspended, the Company shall so advise you promptly in writing. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to qualify or register its Common Stock for sale in non-issuer transactions under (or obtain exemptions from the application of) the “blue sky” laws of each state where necessary to permit market-making transactions and secondary trading and will comply with such “blue sky” laws and will continue such qualifications, registrations and exemptions in effect during the Term of this Agreement.

The Company will make generally available to its security holders a consolidated earnings statement (in a form complying with the provisions of Rule 158), which need not be audited, covering a 12-month period commencing after the effective date of the Registration Statement and the Rule 462 Registration Statement, if any, and ending not later than 15 months thereafter, as soon as practicable after the end of such period, which consolidated earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act.

During the Term of this Agreement, the Company will furnish or make available (which may be satisfied by EDGAR filings or the Company’s website postings) to you, upon your request, (i) as soon as available, a copy of each proxy statement, quarterly or annual report or other report of the Company mailed to stockholders or filed with the Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“ FINRA ”) or Nasdaq or any national securities exchange and (ii) from time to time such other information concerning the Company as you may reasonably request.

If this Agreement is terminated by the Agent because of any inability, failure or refusal on the part of the Company to perform in all material respects any agreement herein or to comply in all material respects with any of the terms or provisions hereof or to fulfill in all material respects any of the conditions of this Agreement, the Company agrees to reimburse the Agent for all fees and expenses of counsel for the Agent reasonably incurred by the Agent in connection herewith, subject to an aggregate maximum reimbursement of $30,000.

The Company will apply the net proceeds from any sale of Shares to be sold by it hereunder in accordance in all material respects with the statements under the caption “Use of Proceeds” in the Prospectus.

The Company will comply with all provisions of any undertakings contained in the Registration Statement.

The Company will not at any time, directly or indirectly, take any action designed, or which might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, or which will constitute, stabilization or manipulation of the price of the shares of Common Stock to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Shares.

The Company will timely file with Nasdaq all documents and notices required by the Nasdaq of companies that have or will issue securities that are traded on the Nasdaq.

The Company shall engage and maintain, at its expense, a transfer agent and, if necessary under the jurisdiction of its incorporation or the rules of any national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, a registrar (which, if permitted by applicable laws and rules may be the same entity as the transfer agent) for the Common Stock.

Except as otherwise agreed between the Company and the Agent, the Company shall pay all costs, expenses, fees and taxes in connection with (i) the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, and any amendments or supplements thereto, and the printing and furnishing of copies of each thereof to the Agent and to dealers (including costs of mailing and shipment), as may, in each case, be reasonably requested for use in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares; (ii) the registration, issue and delivery of the Shares; (iii) the qualification of the Shares for offering and sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such states or other jurisdictions as the Agent may reasonably designate as described in Section 4(i) (including filing fees and the reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agent in connection therewith); (iv) the listing of the Shares on the Exchange and any registration thereof under the Exchange Act; (v) any filing for review, and any review, of the public offering of the Shares by FINRA (including filing fees and the reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agent in connection therewith); (vi) the fees and disbursements of counsel to the Company and of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm; and (vii) the performance of the Company’s other obligations hereunder and under any Terms Agreement; provided that, except as otherwise agreed with the Company, the Agent shall be responsible for any transfer taxes on resale of Shares by it and any costs and expenses associated with the sale and marketing of the Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall reimburse the Agent for the reasonable documented fees and disbursements of counsel for the Agent incurred in connection with any offering of Shares contemplated by this Agreement, subject to an aggregate maximum reimbursement of $30,000, which, for the avoidance of doubt, is without duplication of the reimbursement amount to be paid under Section 4(l) of this Agreement.

If any Agency Transactions or Principal Transactions are pending, the Company will not, without (A) giving the Agent at least two Exchange Business Days’ prior written notice specifying the nature of the proposed sale and the date of such proposed sale and (B) the Agent suspending activity under this program for such period of time as requested by the Company or deemed appropriate by the Agent in light of the proposed sale, (i) offer, pledge, publicly announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable, redeemable or exchangeable for Common Stock (other than pursuant to a shelf registration statement under Rule 415 of the Act, a registration statement on Form S-8 or Form S-4 in connection with any long-term incentive plan, any employee plan or Common Stock ownership plan of the Company); or (ii) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise.

If immediately prior to the third anniversary (the “ Renewal Deadline ”) of the initial effective date of the Registration Statement, the aggregate Gross Sales Price of Shares sold by the Company is less than the Maximum Amount and this Agreement has not expired or been terminated, the Company will, prior to the Renewal Deadline, file, if it has not already done so and is eligible to do so, a new shelf registration statement relating to the Shares, in a form satisfactory to the Agent, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within 60 days after the Renewal Deadline. The Company will take all other actions reasonably necessary or appropriate to permit the issuance and sale of the Shares to continue as contemplated in the expired registration statement relating to the Shares. References herein to the Registration Statement shall include such new shelf registration statement.

If, from and after the date of this Agreement, the Company is no longer eligible to use Form S-3 pursuant to General Instruction I.B.1. of Form S-3 at the time it files with the Commission an annual report on Form 10-K or any amendment to the Registration Statement for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or form of prospectus) (such time of filing, the “ Form S-3 Eligibility Determination Time ”), then it shall, not later than 24 hours after the Form S-3 Eligibility Determination Time, notify the Agent in writing that the Company is no longer eligible to use Form S-3 pursuant to General Instruction I.B.1. of Form S-3 as of the Form S-3 Eligibility Determination Time and shall, not later than not later than the Commission’s close of business on the second Business Day following the date on which the Form S-3 Eligibility Determination Time occurred (and in any event within the applicable time period prescribed therefor by Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8) under the Securities Act), file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act a new prospectus supplement with the Commission reflecting the maximum dollar amount of Shares available to be offered and sold by the Company under this Agreement pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3.

For purposes of clarity and without limitation to any other provision of this Section 7 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that the Agent’s obligations, if any, to solicit purchases of Shares on an agency basis or otherwise take any action pursuant to a Transaction Acceptance shall, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Agent, be suspended during the period from and including a Bring-Down Delivery Date through and including the time that the Agent shall have received the documents described in the preceding sentence.

Termination .

(i)

The Company may terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time upon prior written notice to the Agent. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party, except that (A) with respect to any pending sale, the obligations of the Company, including in respect of compensation of the Agent, shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination; and (B) the provisions of Section 4 (except that if no Shares have been previously sold hereunder or under any Terms Agreement, only Section 4(s)), 9, 13, 14 and 16 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

(ii)

In the case of any sale by the Company pursuant to a Terms Agreement, the obligations of the Company pursuant to such Terms Agreement and this Agreement may not be terminated by the Company without the prior written consent of the Agent.

(i)

The Agent may terminate its own obligations under the provisions of this Agreement relating to the solicitation of offers to purchase Shares in its sole discretion at any time upon giving prior written notice to the Company. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party, except that the provisions of Section 4 (except that if no Shares have been previously sold hereunder or under any Terms Agreement, only Section 4(s)), 9, 14 and 16 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

(ii)

In the case of any purchase by the Agent pursuant to a Terms Agreement, the obligations of the Agent pursuant to such Terms Agreement shall be subject to termination by the Agent at any time prior to or at the Principal Settlement Date if since the time of execution of the Terms Agreement or the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, (A) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by Nasdaq; (B) trading of any securities issued by the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the counter market; (C) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York state authorities; or (D) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that, solely in the case of events and conditions described in this clause (D), in the Agent’s reasonable judgment, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with any offering of Shares, sale or delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus or such Terms Agreement. If the Agent elects to terminate its obligations pursuant to this Section 8(b)(ii), then the Company shall be notified promptly in writing.

This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the earliest of (A) termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b) above or otherwise by mutual written agreement of the parties and (B) such date that the Maximum Amount of Shares has been sold in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any Terms Agreements, in each case except that the provisions of Section 4 (except that if no Shares have been previously sold hereunder or under any Terms Agreement, only Section 4(s)), 9, 13, 14 and 16 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

Any termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in such notice of termination; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by the Agent or the Company, as the case may be, or such later date as may be required pursuant to Section 8(a) or (b). If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date for any sale of Shares, such sale shall settle in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 hereof.

Indemnity and Contribution .

The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable out of pocket legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), that arise out of, or are based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any 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 consists of the information described as such in subsection (b) below.

The Agent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to the Agent furnished to the Company in writing by the Agent expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed upon that only such information furnished by Raymond James as of the date of this Agreement consists of the information in the Prospectus as specified in Exhibit D hereto.

If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either Section 9(a) or 9(b) above, such person (the “ Indemnified Person ”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “ Indemnifying Person ”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under this Section 9 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided , further , that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under this Section 9. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 9 that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed in writing to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) included both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for (A) the Agent and its affiliates and their directors and officers and their control persons, if any, or (B) the Company and its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and its control persons, if any, as the case may be, and that all such reasonable fees and expenses shall be paid or reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for the Agent and its affiliates, directors and officers and their control persons, if any, shall be designated in writing by the Agent, and any such separate firm for the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and its control persons, if any, shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person 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 Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification is or could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested an Indemnifying Person to reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this Section 9(c), the Indemnifying Person 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 45 days after receipt by such Indemnifying Person of the aforesaid request, (ii) such Indemnifying Person shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement, unless such failure to reimburse the Indemnified Person is based on a dispute with a good faith basis as to the obligation of the Indemnifying Person arising under this Section 9 to indemnify the Indemnified Person, and the Indemnifying Person shall have notified the Indemnified Person of such good faith dispute prior to the date of such settlement.

If the indemnification provided for in Sections 9(a) and 9(b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such Sections, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (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, from any offering of Shares pursuant to this Agreement and any Terms Agreements; or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, 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, shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company from any sale of Shares pursuant to this Agreement and any Terms Agreements and the total discounts and commissions received by the Agent in connection therewith bear to the aggregate Gross Sales Price of such Shares. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or by 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 Company and the Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 9(d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 9(d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, in no event shall the Agent be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discounts and commissions received by the Agent with respect to any offering of Shares pursuant to this Agreement and any Terms Agreements exceeds the amount of any damages that the Agent has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

The remedies provided for in this Section 9 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

June 11, 2019

Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics Inc.

1325 Avenue of Americas, 28th Floor

New York, Ny 10019

Ladies and Gentlemen:

You have requested our opinion, as counsel to Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with respect to certain matters in connection with the offering by the Company of up to $20,000,000 of the Company’s common stock, $0.00005 par value per share (the “Shares”), pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-225517) (the “Registration Statement”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), the prospectus included within the Registration Statement (the “Base Prospectus”), and the prospectus supplement dated June 11, 2019, filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations of the Act (together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”). The Shares are to be sold by the Company in accordance with a Distribution Agreement, dated June 11, 2019, between the Company and Raymond James & Associates, Inc. (the “Agreement”), as described in the Prospectus.

In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, the Agreement, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, its Bylaws, as amended, and the originals or copies certified to our satisfaction of such records, documents, certificates, memoranda and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below. In rendering this opinion, we have assumed the genuineness and authenticity of all signatures on original documents; the genuineness and authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals; the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies; and the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of certificates of public officials. We have assumed (i) that each sale of Shares will be duly authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company, a duly authorized committee thereof or a person or body pursuant to an authorization granted in accordance with Section 152 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), (ii) that no more than 5,000,000 Shares will be sold under the Agreement and (iii) that the price at which the Shares are sold will equal or exceed the par value of the Shares. We express no opinion to the extent that future issuances of securities of the Company and/or anti-dilution adjustments to outstanding securities of the Company cause the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding or issuable upon conversion or exercise of outstanding securities of the Company to exceed the number of Shares then issuable under the Agreement.

Our opinion herein is expressed solely with respect to the DGCL. Our opinion is based on these laws as in effect on the date hereof. We express no opinion to the extent that any other laws are applicable to the subject matter hereof and express no opinion and provide no assurance as to compliance with any federal or state securities law, rule or regulation.

On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, we are of the opinion that the Shares, when sold and issued against payment therefor in accordance with the Agreement, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We consent to the reference to our firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus and to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Commission for incorporation by reference into the Registration Statement.

Very truly yours,
