Item
1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
April 17, 2026, Celularity Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to that certain
Asset Purchase and Exclusive License Agreement, dated as of March 6, 2026 (the “Original Agreement” and, as amended, the
“Agreement”), with NexGel, Inc. (“NexGel”).
Among
other things, the Amendment provides that: (i) the aggregate consideration payable to the Company under the Agreement is $13.3 million,
consisting of an upfront cash payment of $8.3 million on the transaction commencement date and a convertible promissory note in the original
principal amount of $5.0 million with an 18-month term; (ii) effective as of the transaction commencement date, NexGel will assume, satisfy,
perform and discharge all sales representative obligations and such obligations will constitute assumed liabilities of NexGel from and
after such date; (iii) the first milestone payment of $2.5 million will be payable upon the earlier of the achievement of $25.0 million
in net sales or the date that is 15 months following the transaction commencement date, provided that net sales of at least $15.0 million
have been achieved as of such date; (iv) Section 4.6 of the Original Agreement was deleted in its entirety, and the product purchase
credit was terminated; and (v) the outside date in Section 9.2.3 of the Original Agreement was extended from April 15, 2026 to April
30, 2026.
The
Amendment also includes certain additional representations, warranties and covenants, including with respect to sales representative
obligations, restrictions on certain payments or transfers of value to current or former officers or directors of the Company in connection
with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, and mutual restrictions on public disclosures relating to the Agreement and the
Amendment, subject to disclosures required by applicable law or stock exchange rules.
The
foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text
of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Item
2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On
April 16, 2026, Helena Global Investment Opportunities 1 Ltd. (“Helena”) delivered an exchange notice (the “Exchange
Notice”) to the Company pursuant to Section 4.25 of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated October 24, 2025, by and
between the Company and Helena, pursuant to which Helena elected to exchange shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock for a Convertible Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $1,970,502.58 (the “Helena Note”). The Helena
Note bears interest at a rate of 18.0% per annum and matures on October 16, 2026, unless earlier converted, prepaid or accelerated in
accordance with its terms.
-2-
On
April 17, 2026, Helena delivered to the Company a notice of event of default (the “Default Notice”) under the Helena Note.
In the Default Notice, Helena asserted that one or more events of default had occurred under the Helena Note, including under Sections
2.1(b) and 2.1(p) thereof. Section 2.1(p) of the Helena Note includes, among other things, the Company’s failure to comply with
the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including becoming delinquent in its filings. The Company
believes the asserted default arose from the Company’s failure to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2025.
Under
the Helena Note, if an event of default is not cured within the applicable cure period, which is five business days for this type of
asserted default, Helena may declare due and payable the “Mandatory Default Amount,” which is equal to 115% of the outstanding
principal amount, accrued interest and all other amounts owing under the Helena Note. In addition, following an event of default, any
outstanding principal balance accrues interest at a rate of 15% per annum, compounded annually.
The
Company is evaluating the Default Notice and intends to cure the asserted default within the applicable cure period.
The
foregoing description of the Helena Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text
of such document, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Item
3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
The
information contained in Item 3.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03..
Item
5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of
Certain Officers.
In
April 2026, the Company implemented certain organizational changes in connection with its ongoing strategic realignment and previously
announced divestiture of its biomaterials business to NexGel.
On
April 9, 2026, the Company terminated the employment of John R. Haines, the Company’s Senior Vice President, Global Manager and
Chief Administrative Officer, without cause. Mr. Haines’ final day of employment is expected to be May 8, 2026. On April 15, 2026,
Stephen A. Brigido, the Company’s President, Degenerative Diseases, resigned from his position, effective immediatly.
These
leadership changes reflect the Company’s continued focus on aligning its organizational structure and resources with its core cell
therapy platform and strategic priorities
Item
8.01. Other Events.
On
April 21, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing the Amendment and related developments concerning its transaction with
NexGel. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The
information set forth in this Item 8.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of

AMENDMENT
NO. 1 TO ASSET PURCHASE AND
EXCLUSIVE
LICENSE AGREEMENT
This
Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment”) to that certain Asset Purchase and Exclusive License Agreement, dated as of March 6,
2026 (the “Agreement”), is entered into as of April 17, 2026 (the “Amendment Effective Date”),
by and between Celularity Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Licensor”), and NexGel, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“Licensee”). Licensor and Licensee may be referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively
as the “Parties.”
Capitalized
terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. The Agreement,
as amended by this Amendment, is referred to herein as the “Agreement.” References in this Amendment to sections of the Agreement
are to such sections as amended hereby.
WHEREAS,
the Parties entered into the Agreement to provide for, among other things, the sale of certain assets and the grant of an exclusive license;
and
WHEREAS,
the Parties desire to amend the Agreement to revise the consideration structure and certain related provisions in accordance with the
terms set forth herein.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1.
Section 2.2 of the Agreement is hereby amended to provide that, notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, the Assumed
Liabilities shall include the Sales Rep Obligations as of and from the Transaction Commencement Date, and Licensee shall assume and be
solely liable for all such Sales Rep Obligations from and after the Transaction Commencement Date.
2.
Section 2.3.2(e) of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“(e)
evidence reasonably satisfactory to Licensee and Licensor that Licensee has executed and delivered the assumption of liability agreement
or other assumption documentation contemplated by Section 4.1 with respect to the Sales Rep Obligations;”
3.
Section 4.1 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“4.1
License Fee. In full consideration for the grant of rights set forth in Section 2.1 of the Agreement, Licensee shall pay
or deliver to Licensor aggregate consideration in the amount of Thirteen Million Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($13,300,000), payable
as follows. First, Licensee shall pay to Licensor an upfront cash payment in the amount of Eight Million Three Hundred Thousand Dollars
($8,300,000) in immediately available funds on the Transaction Commencement Date to be paid on the Transaction Commencement Date in accordance
with the flow of funds memorandum agreed by the Parties in connection with the closing (the “Flow of Funds Memo”).
Second, Licensee shall issue to Licensor a convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Note”) in the original
principal amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (the “Equity Consideration”). The Convertible Note shall
have a term of eighteen (18) months following the Transaction Commencement Date and shall be convertible into common stock of Licensee
on terms to be set forth in definitive documentation reasonably acceptable to Licensor. The Convertible Note shall rank pari passu
with any contemporaneous investor note or similar instrument issued by Licensee in connection with the same financing or transaction,
and in no event shall the rights, priority, security, economics, convertibility, or other material terms applicable to Licensor under
the Convertible Note be less favorable, in the aggregate, than those granted to any such contemporaneous investor. The Convertible Note
shall include customary terms and conditions for instruments of this nature, including appropriate provisions relating to conversion
mechanics, events of default, remedies, and acceleration, in each case reasonably satisfactory to Licensor.
Effective
as of the Transaction Commencement Date, Licensee shall assume, satisfy, perform and discharge when due all Sales Rep Obligations, and
at the Transaction Commencement shall execute and deliver an assumption of liability agreement or other assumption documentation, in
form and substance reasonably acceptable to Licensor, evidencing Licensee’s assumption of the Sales Rep Obligations. For the avoidance
of doubt, from and after the Transaction Commencement Date, the Sales Rep Obligations shall constitute Assumed Liabilities of Licensee,
and Licensee shall be solely responsible for all such obligations, whether arising before, on or after the Transaction Commencement Date.”
4.
All provisions of the Agreement relating to any Holdback Amount, deferred consideration, or contingent payment mechanism are hereby deleted
in their entirety, and no portion of the consideration payable pursuant to the Agreement shall be subject to forfeiture, offset or post-closing
adjustment, except as expressly provided in this Amendment.
5.
Section 4.3.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended solely with respect to the first milestone payment such that the milestone payment of
Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) shall be payable upon the earlier of (a) the achievement of $25,000,000 in Net
Sales, or (b) the date that is fifteen (15) months following the Transaction Commencement Date, provided that Net Sales of at least $15,000,000
have been achieved as of such date. Except as expressly modified herein, all other milestone provisions of the Agreement shall remain
unchanged and in full force and effect.
6.
Section 4.6 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety. For the avoidance of doubt, the Product Purchase Credit contemplated
thereunder is hereby terminated and extinguished in full, shall no longer be available for application against any invoices or purchases,
and shall be of no further force or effect.
7.
Section 7.1(e) of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“(e)
Licensor represents and warrants that Schedule E sets forth, in all material respects, the Sales Rep Obligations known to Licensor as
of the Amendment Effective Date, subject to verification, reconciliation and audit against underlying sales data, collections, returns,
credits, chargebacks and the terms of the applicable Independent Sales Representative Agreements, and Licensor has not, except as disclosed
to Licensee in writing, entered into any amendment, settlement, waiver or other arrangement with any sales representative that would
materially increase the amount or scope of the Sales Rep Obligations to be assumed by Licensee.”
8.
The reference to “April 15, 2026” in Section 9.2.3 of the Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced with “April 30,
2026.”
9.
The Agreement is hereby deemed amended to the extent necessary to give effect to this Amendment, including the deletion or modification
of any references to the Closing Amount, Holdback Amount, Product Purchase Credit, or any sales representative-related offsets or adjustments,
in each case to ensure consistency with the revised consideration structure set forth herein and the deletion of Section 4.6 in its entirety.
2
10.
Licensee represents, warrants, and covenants that, other than as expressly disclosed in writing to Licensor prior to the Amendment Effective
Date, Licensee has not entered into, and shall not enter into, any agreement, arrangement or understanding providing for any direct or
indirect payment, compensation, fee, commission, or other economic benefit to any current or former officer or director of Licensor in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement or this Amendment. To the extent that any such payments or arrangements
have been made or exist, whether prior to or following the Amendment Effective Date, Licensee agrees that any and all such amounts shall
be for the sole benefit of Licensor and shall be promptly remitted to Licensor upon receipt or, if not yet paid, shall be payable directly
to Licensor. Without limiting the foregoing, for a period of one (1) year following the Transaction Commencement Date, Licensee shall
not make, agree to make, or permit any such payments or transfers of value to any current or former officer or director of Licensor without
the prior written consent of Licensor, and any amounts paid in violation of this provision shall be deemed held in trust for the benefit
of Licensor and shall be promptly returned or paid over to Licensor. Any breach of this Section shall constitute an immediate Event of
Default under the Convertible Note, without notice or cure period, entitling Licensor to exercise all rights and remedies available thereunder,
including acceleration of all amounts due.
11.
Neither Party shall, and each Party shall cause its affiliates not to, issue any press release or make any public statement, disclosure,
or announcement relating to the Agreement, this Amendment, or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent
of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed; provided, however, that either Party may
make such disclosures as are required by applicable law or the rules of any applicable securities exchange. The Parties acknowledge that
either Party may use the proceeds of the transactions contemplated hereby to support its broader business activities, and any public
disclosure relating thereto shall be subject to this Section and shall not include any statements regarding the other Party or the transactions
contemplated hereby without such Party’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed). Each
Party shall ensure that all permitted disclosures are accurate, not misleading, and consistent in all material respects with the terms
and intent of the Agreement and this Amendment, and shall not disclose any confidential or proprietary information of the other Party
except as expressly permitted under the Agreement.
12.
Except as expressly amended by this Amendment, the Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
13.
This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. In the event of any conflict
between this Amendment and the Agreement, the terms of this Amendment shall control.
14.
This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.

Convertible
Promissory Note
Dated:
April 16, 2026 (the “Issuance Date”)
$1,970,502.58
FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, CELULARITY, INC., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter called the
“Maker” or the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of Helena
Special Opportunities LLC, organized and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands, or registered assigns (the “Holder”)
the principal sum of 1,970,502.58 (the “Principal Amount”) pursuant to the terms of this Convertible Promissory Note
(this “Note”).
The
maturity date of this Note shall be October 16, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”) and is the date upon which the Principal
Amount and all outstanding but unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable unless otherwise accelerated pursuant to the terms of
this Note.
This
Note may not be repaid in whole or in part except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein.
All
payments under or pursuant to this Note shall be made in United States Dollars in immediately available funds to the Holder at the address
of the Holder set forth in the Purchase Agreement (as hereinafter defined) or at such other place as the Holder may designate from time
to time in writing to the Maker or by wire transfer of funds to the Holder’s account designated in writing by Holder to the Maker.
1.1
Purchase Agreement. This Note has been executed and delivered pursuant to, and is one of the Notes issued pursuant to Section
4.25 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 24, 2025 (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Purchase
Agreement”), by and among the Maker, the other “Investors” (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement)
and the Holder. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Purchase
Agreement.
1.2
Interest.
1.2.1
During the term of this Note interest shall accrue at eighteen percent (18.0%) per annum calculated on a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months and shall be payable upon Maturity or acceleration of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof.
1.2.2
If any amount payable by the Company under any Transaction Document is not paid when due, such amount shall thereafter bear interest
at the Past Due Rate (as hereinafter defined) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. In addition, following any Event of
Default, any Outstanding Principal Balance shall bear interest at the Past Due Rate (the “Default Interest”). In either
case, accrued and unpaid Default Interest or past due amounts (including interest on past due Interest) shall be due and payable on demand,
at a rate per annum equal to fifteen percent (15%) compounded annually and computed on the basis of a 360-day year (the “Past
Due Rate”), provided that, in no event shall the rate of interest hereunder exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable
law.
1.3
Prepayment. At any time after the Issuance Date and provided that no Event of Default has occurred, but subject in all cases to
the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Maker may repay all or any portion of the Outstanding Principal Amount upon at least ten (10)
Trading Days’ written notice (the “Prepayment Notice Period”) to the Holder (the “Prepayment Notice”)
by paying an amount equal to 110% of the Principal Amount then being prepaid (representing a 10% prepayment premium payable to the Holder
which shall not constitute a principal repayment). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Maker elects to prepay this Note pursuant to
the provisions of this Section 1.3, the Holder shall continue to have the right to issue a Conversion Notice, or Conversion Notices,
in accordance with Section 3.1 hereof, specifying the Principal Amount that the Holder will convert.
1.4
Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment
shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day.
1.5
Transfer. This Note may be transferred or sold, subject to the provisions of Section 5.8 of this Note, or pledged, hypothecated
or otherwise granted as security by the Holder.
1.6
Replacement. Upon receipt of a duly executed and notarized written statement from the Holder with respect to the loss, theft or
destruction of this Note (or any replacement hereof), or, in the case of a mutilation of this Note, upon surrender and cancellation of
such Note, the Maker shall issue a new Note, of like tenor and amount, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.
1.7
Use of Proceeds. The Maker shall use the proceeds of this Note as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
2
1.8
Status of Note. The obligations of the Maker under this Note shall rank senior to all other existing Indebtedness and equity of
the Company except that the obligations of the Maker under this Note shall rank pari passu with all other Indebtedness owing to
the other Investors under the other Notes (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) (the “Other Notes”).
Upon any Liquidation Event (as hereinafter defined), but subject in all cases to the Purchase Agreement, the Holder will be entitled
to receive, before any distribution or payment is made upon, or set apart with respect to, any Indebtedness of the Maker (other than
Indebtedness in respect of the Other Notes) or any class of shares of the Maker, an amount equal to the sum of the Outstanding Principal
Amount. For purposes of this Note, “Liquidation Event” means a liquidation pursuant to a filing of a petition for
bankruptcy under applicable law or any other insolvency or debtor’s relief, an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or a voluntary
or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Maker.
1.9
Intended Tax Treatment. The Maker and the Holder agree that for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and applicable state, local
and non-U.S. income tax purposes, this Note is not intended to be treated as Indebtedness. Neither the Maker nor the Holder shall take
any position on any tax return, or in any audit, claim, investigation, inquiry or proceeding in respect of Taxes inconsistent with such
intentions, unless otherwise required pursuant to a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any analogous provision of applicable state, local or non-U.S. law.
ARTICLE
2
2.1
Events of Default. An “Event of Default” under this Note shall mean the occurrence of any of the Events of
Default defined in the Purchase Agreement, and any of the additional events described below (unless the Event of Default is waived in
writing by the Requisite Holder):
(a)
Following a three (3) Business Day opportunity to cure, any default in the payment of (i) the Principal Amount hereunder when due; or
(ii) interest as and when the same shall become due and payable (whether on the Maturity Date or by acceleration or otherwise);
(b)
the Maker shall fail to observe or perform any other material covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Note or any Transaction
Document;
(c)
the Maker’s notice to the Holder, including by way of public announcement, at any time, of its inability to comply (including for
any of the reasons described in Section 3.6(a) hereof) or its intention not to comply with proper requests for conversion of this

the Maker shall fail to (i) timely deliver the Common Stock as and when required in Section 3.2; or (ii) make the payment of any
fees and/or liquidated damages under this Note, the Purchase Agreement or the other Transaction Documents;

any representation or warranty made by the Maker or any of its Subsidiaries in the Purchase Agreement, this Note, or any other Transaction
Document shall prove to have been false or incorrect or breached in a material respect on the date as of which made or deemed to be made;
(g)
the Maker or any of its Subsidiaries shall (A) default in any payment of any amount or amounts of principal of or interest (if any) on
any Indebtedness (other than the Indebtedness hereunder), the aggregate principal amount of which Indebtedness is in excess of $250,000
(or its equivalent in the relevant currency of payment) or (B) default in the observance or performance of any other agreement or condition
relating to any such Indebtedness or contained in any instrument or agreement evidencing, securing or relating thereto, or any other

Remedies Upon an Event of Default.
(a)
Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default that has not been remedied within (i) two (2) Business Days for an Event of Default occurring
by the Company’s failure to comply with Section 7.1(c) of the Purchase Agreement or Section 3.2 of this Note, or
(ii) five (5) Business Days for all other Events of Default; provided, however, that there shall be no cure period for
an Event of Default described in Section 2.1(h), or 2.1(i), the Maker shall be obligated to pay to the Holder the Mandatory
Default Amount, which Mandatory Default Amount shall be earned by the Holder on the date the Event of Default giving rise thereto occurs
and shall be due and payable on the earlier to occur of the Maturity Date, upon conversion, redemption or prepayment of this Note or
the date on which all amounts owing hereunder have been accelerated in accordance with the terms hereof (provided all payments shall
be subject to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement with respect to the holders of the Other Notes).
5
(b)
Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Maker shall, as promptly as possible but in any event within two (2) Business Days of
the occurrence of such Event of Default, notify the Holder of the occurrence of such Event of Default, describing the event or factual
situation giving rise to the Event of Default and specifying the relevant subsections of Section 2.1 hereof under which such Event
of Default has occurred.
(c)
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and shall not have been remedied within (i) two (2) Business Days for an Event of Default
occurring by the Company’s failure to comply with Section 7.1(c) of the Purchase Agreement or Section 3.2 of this Note, or (ii)
five (5) Business Days for all other Events of Default; provided, however, that there shall be no cure period for an Event of Default
described in Section 2.1(h), or 2.1(i), the Holder may at any time at its option, subject to receiving the prior written consent of the
Requisite Holder, declare all or a portion of the Mandatory Default Amount due and payable, and thereupon, the same shall be accelerated
and so due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, or notice, all of which are hereby expressly unconditionally and irrevocably
waived by the Maker; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described above, the Holder, in its sole and
absolute discretion, but subject to receiving the prior written consent of the Requisite Holder, may: (a) from time-to-time demand that
all or a portion of the Mandatory Default Amount be converted into Common Stock at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the then
applicable Conversion Price and (ii) the then applicable Event of Default Discount Price. For purposes of this Note, “Event
of Default Discount Price” shall mean the lowest daily VWAP in the ten (10) Trading Days ending on the date of the delivery
of the applicable Conversion Notice multiplied by eighty-five percent (85%). Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described
in clauses Sections 2.1(h) or (i) above, the Mandatory Default Amount shall become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand,
protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Maker. No course of delay on the part of the Holder (including
because the Holder has not obtained the consent of the Requisite Holder) shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice the
rights of the Holder. No remedy conferred hereby shall be exclusive of any other remedy referred to herein or now or hereafter available
at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. All payments shall be subject to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement with respect to
the holders of the Other Notes.
ARTICLE
3 Conversion.
3.1
Conversion. This Note shall be convertible (in whole or in part), at the option of the Holder, into such number of fully paid
and non-assessable Common Stock as is determined by dividing (x) that portion identified by the Maker of (A) the Outstanding Principal
Amount, plus (B) accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such Outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and any other amounts owing
under this Note or the Transaction Documents (the “Conversion Amount”) by (y) the Conversion Price then in effect
on the date on which the Holder delivers a notice of conversion, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion
Notice”), in accordance with this Section 3.1 to the Maker. The Holder shall deliver this Note to the Maker at the address
designated in the Purchase Agreement at any such time that this Note is converted. With respect to partial conversions of this Note,
the Maker shall keep written records of the amount of this Note converted as of the date of such conversion (each, a “Conversion
Date”).
The
“Conversion Price” means 95% of the lowest closing VWAP for the seven (7) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding
the date of the Conversion Notice, but not less than the Floor Price, as adjusted pursuant to Section 6(f); provided, that the Conversion
Price be shall not be less than the Floor Price while the Common Stock is listed on the Trading Market.
6
3.2
Delivery of Conversion Shares. As soon as practicable after any conversion or payment of any amount due hereunder in the form
of Common Stock in accordance with this Note, and in any event within two (2) Trading Days thereafter (such date, the “Share
Delivery Date”), the Maker shall, at its expense, cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as the
Holder may direct, book-entry statements evidencing the number of fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock to which the Holder shall
be entitled on such conversion or payment (the “Conversion Shares”), in the applicable denominations based on the
applicable conversion or payment; provided that, if the Common Stock is then DWAC Eligible and such Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of this Note have been registered for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, upon request of the
Holder, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit such Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note
to the Holder (or its designee), by crediting the account of the Holder’s (or such designee’s) broker with DTC through its
Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system (provided that the same time periods herein as for book-entry statements shall apply) as instructed
by the Holder (or its designee). In the event that the Maker fails to comply with its obligations under this Section 3.2, a liquidated
damages charge of 1% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note will be assessed and will become immediately due and payable each
month while such failure remains uncured to the Holder at its election in the form of a cash payment or added to the balance of this
Note.
3.3
Caps on Conversion Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall not be entitled to receive
shares representing Equity Interests upon conversion of this Note to the extent (but only to the extent) that:
(a)
Ownership Cap. Such exercise or receipt would cause the Holder Group (as defined below) to become, directly or indirectly, a “beneficial
owner” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) of a number
of Equity Interests of a class that is registered under the 1934 Act which exceeds the Maximum Percentage (as defined below) of the Equity
Interests of such class that are outstanding at such time. Any purported delivery of Equity Interests in connection with the conversion
of this Note prior to the termination of this restriction in accordance herewith shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but
only to the extent) that such delivery would result in the Holder Group becoming the beneficial owner of more than the Maximum Percentage
of the Equity Interests of a class that is registered under the 1934 Act that is outstanding at such time. If any delivery of Equity
Interests owed to the Holder following conversion of this Note is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this limitation, the
Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and the Company shall deliver such Equity Interests as promptly
as practicable after the Holder gives notice to the Company that such delivery would not result in such limitation being triggered or
upon termination of the restriction in accordance with the terms hereof; provided that no liquidated damages will be assessed or become
due and payable pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof with respect to any such Equity Interests not being delivered solely as a result
of this limitation. To the extent limitations contained in this Section 3.3(a) apply, the determination of whether this Note is
convertible and of which portion of this Note is convertible shall be the sole responsibility and in the sole determination of the Holder,
and the submission of a notice of conversion shall be deemed to constitute the Holder’s determination that the issuance of the
full number of Conversion Shares requested in the notice of conversion is permitted hereunder, and the Company shall not have any obligation
to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. For purposes of this Section 3.3, (i) the term “Maximum Percentage”
shall mean 4.99%; provided, that if at any time after the date hereof the Holder Group beneficially owns in excess of 4.99% of any class
of Equity Interests in the Company that is registered under the 1934 Act, then the Maximum Percentage shall automatically increase to
9.99% so long as the Holder Group owns in excess of 4.99% of such class of Equity Interests (and shall, for the avoidance of doubt, automatically
decrease to 4.99% upon the Holder Group ceasing to own in excess of 4.99% of such class of Equity Interests); and (ii) the term “Holder
Group” shall mean the Holder plus any other Person with which the Holder is considered to be part of a group under Section
13 of the 1934 Act or with which the Holder otherwise files reports under Sections 13 and/or 16 of the 1934 Act. In determining the number
of Equity Interests of a particular class outstanding at any point in time, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Equity Interests
of such class as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, or Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) a more recent notice by the Company or its
transfer agent to the Holder setting forth the number of Equity Interests of such class then outstanding. For any reason at any time,
upon written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall, within one (1) Business Day of such request, confirm orally and in writing
to the Holder the number of Equity Interests of any class then outstanding. The provisions of this Section 3.3 shall be construed,
corrected and implemented in a manner so as to effectuate the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained. In addition
to the beneficial ownership limitations provided in this Note, the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under
Transaction Documents shall be limited to 19.99% of the Borrower’s outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date of the Purchase
Agreement (the “Exchange Cap”), while the Common Stock is listed on the Trading Market unless Stockholder Approval
is obtained to issue more than the Exchange Cap. The Exchange Cap shall be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization,
non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction.

3.4
Adjustments to Conversion Price and Floor Price.
(a)
Until the Note has been paid in full or converted in full except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.4, the Conversion Price
and Floor Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows (but shall not be increased, other than pursuant to Section
3.4(a)(i) hereof):
(i)
Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise
makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (which,
for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon conversion of, or payment of interest
on, the Notes), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of
a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification
of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price and the Floor Price shall be multiplied
by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding
immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after
such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination
of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in
the case of a subdivision, combination or re classification.
(ii)
Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Note is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other
distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise
(including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off,
reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”),
at any time after the issuance of this Note, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution
to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable
upon complete conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on conversion hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the
date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided,
however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in
the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution
shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder
exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
(iii)
Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. If the Common Stock at any time or from time to time after the Closing
Date (but whether before or after the Issuance Date) shall be changed to the same or different number of shares or other securities of
any class of shares or other property, whether by reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise (other than by way of a stock
split or combination of shares or stock dividends provided for in Sections 3.4(a)(i) hereof, or a reorganization, merger, consolidation,
or sale of assets provided for in Section 3.4(a)(iv) hereof), then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the Conversion
Price and Floor Price shall be made and provisions shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price and Floor Price or otherwise)
so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert this Note into the kind and amount of shares or other securities or other
property receivable upon reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock
into which such Note might have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, all
subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
8
(iv)
Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more
related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company (and all of its
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole), directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other
disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase
offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock
are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of
50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any
reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common
Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly,
in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without
limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby
such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock
held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to,
such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon
any subsequent conversion of this Note, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable
upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation on the conversion
of this Note), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving
corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental
Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Note is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental
Transaction (without regard to any limitation in on the conversion of this Note). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination
of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration
issuable in respect of one (1) share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion
Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate
Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental
Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this
Note following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company
is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this
Note and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.4(a)(iv)
pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable
delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the holder of this Note, deliver to the Holder in exchange for
this Note a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Note
which is convertible for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent
to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on the conversion
of this Note) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price which applies the conversion price hereunder to such
shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction
and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such conversion price being for the purpose
of protecting the economic value of this Note immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall
succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note and
the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise
every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction
Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.
9
(v)
Other Events. In the event that the Company (or any Subsidiary (as defined in the Purchase Agreement)) shall take any action to
which the provisions hereof are not strictly applicable, or, if applicable, would not operate to protect the Holder from dilution or
if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 3.4 but not expressly provided for by such provisions
(including, without limitation, the granting of share appreciation rights, phantom share rights or other rights with equity features),
then the Company’s board of directors shall in good faith determine and implement an appropriate adjustment in the Floor Price
and the number of Conversion Shares (if applicable) so as to protect the rights of the Holder, provided that no such adjustment pursuant
to this Section 3.4 will increase the Conversion Price or Floor Price or decrease the number of Conversion Shares as otherwise
determined pursuant to this Section 3.4 provided further that if the Holder does not accept such adjustments as appropriately
protecting its rights hereunder, then the Board of Directors and the Holder shall agree, in good faith, upon an independent investment
bank of nationally recognized standing to make such appropriate adjustments, whose determination shall be final and binding absent manifest
error and whose fees and expenses shall be borne by the Company.
(b)
No Impairment. The Maker shall not, by amendment of its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated
Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the
Maker, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 3.4 and in the taking
of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the Holder against impairment. In
the event the Holder shall elect to convert this Note as provided herein, the Maker cannot refuse conversion based on any claim that
the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, violation of an agreement to
which the Holder is a party or for any reason whatsoever, unless, an injunction from a court, or notice, restraining and or adjoining
conversion of this Note shall have issued and the Maker posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in an amount equal to one hundred
percent (100%) of the Principal Amount of the Note the Holder has elected to convert, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion
of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Holder (as liquidated damages) in the event
it obtains judgment.
10
(c)
Certificates as to Adjustments. Upon occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price or Floor Price or number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 3.4, the Maker at its expense shall promptly
compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such
adjustment and readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Maker shall, upon written
request of the Holder, at any time, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holder a like certificate setting forth such adjustments
and readjustments, the applicable Conversion Price or Floor Price in effect at the time, and the number of shares of Common Stock and
the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of this Note. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Maker shall not be obligated to deliver a certificate unless such certificate would reflect an increase or decrease
of at least one percent (1%) of such adjusted amount.
(d)
Issue Taxes. The Maker shall pay any and all issue and other taxes, excluding federal, state or local income taxes, that may be
payable in respect of any issue or delivery of Common Stock on conversion of this Note pursuant thereto; provided, however, that the
Maker shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by the Holder in connection with any such
conversion.
(e)
Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of any fractional
shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Maker shall pay cash equal to such fractional shares multiplied by the Conversion
Price then in effect.
(f)
Reservation of Common Stock. The Maker shall at all times while this Note shall be outstanding, keep available out of its authorized
Common Stock, the Required Minimum of shares of Common Stock (disregarding for this purpose any and all limitations of any kind on such
conversion). The Maker shall, from time to time, increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock or take other effective action
if at any time the unissued number of authorized shares shall not be sufficient to satisfy the Maker’s obligations under this Section
3.4(f).
(g)
Regulatory Compliance. If any shares of Common Stock for the purpose of conversion of this Note require registration or listing
with or approval of any governmental authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation
or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, the Maker shall, at its sole cost and expense, in
good faith and as expeditiously as possible, secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.
(h)
Effect of Events Prior to the Issuance Date. If the Issuance Date of this Note is after the Closing Date, then, if the Conversion
Price, the Floor Price or any other right of the Holder of this Note would have been adjusted or modified by operation of any provision
of this Note had this Note been issued on the Closing Date, such adjustment or modification shall be deemed to apply to this Note as
of the Issuance Date as if this Note had been issued on the Closing Date.
11
3.5
Prepayment Following a Change of Control.
(a)
Mechanics of Prepayment at Option of Holder in Connection with a Change of Control. No later than fifteen (15) days following the entry
by the Company into an agreement for a Change of Control, but in no event prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control,
the Maker shall deliver written notice describing the entry into such agreement (“Notice of Change of Control”) to
the Holder. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a Notice of Change of Control, the Requisite Holder may require the Maker to prepay,
effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control, an amount equal to the Mandatory Default Amount on such date
(the “COC Repayment Price”), by delivering written notice thereof (“Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder
Upon Change of Control”) to the Maker.
(b)
Payment of COC Repayment Price. Upon the Maker’s receipt of a Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Change of
Control from the Holder, the Maker shall deliver the COC Repayment Price to the Holder immediately prior to the consummation of the Change
of Control; provided that the Holder’s original Note shall have been so delivered to the Maker, and, provided, further, that all
payments shall be subject to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement with respect to the holders of the Other Notes.
3.6
Inability to Fully Convert.
(a)
Holder’s Option if Maker Cannot Fully Convert. If, upon the Maker’s receipt of a Conversion Notice or as otherwise
required under this Note, including with respect to repayment of principal in Common Stock as permitted under this Note, the Maker cannot
issue Common Stock for any reason, including, without limitation, because the Maker (x) does not have a sufficient number of shares of
Common Stock authorized and available or (y) is otherwise prohibited by applicable law or by the rules or regulations of any stock exchange,
interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Maker or any of its securities from issuing
all of the Common Stock which are to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Note, then the Maker shall issue as many shares of Common
Stock as it is able to issue and, with respect to the unconverted portion of this Note or with respect to any shares of Common Stock
not timely issued in accordance with this Note, the Holder, solely at Holder’s option, can elect to:
(i)
require the Maker to prepay that portion of this Note for which the Maker is unable to issue Common Stock or for which Common Stock was
not timely issued (the “Mandatory Prepayment”) at a price equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that the Maker
is unable to issue multiplied by the Conversion Price on the date of the Conversion Notice (the “Mandatory Prepayment Price”)
(provided all payments shall be subject to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement with respect to the holders of the Other Notes);
provided that an election under this clause (i) shall not be available in the event that the Maker is unable to issue shares of Common
Stock solely pursuant to the caps set forth in Section 3.3 above;
12
(ii)
void its Conversion Notice and retain or have returned, as the case may be, this Note that was to be converted pursuant to the Conversion
Notice (provided that the Holder’s voiding its Conversion Notice shall not affect the Maker’s obligations to make any payments
which have accrued prior to the date of such notice); or
(iii)
defer issuance of the applicable Conversion Shares until such time as the Maker can legally issue such shares; provided that the Principal
Amount underlying such Conversion Shares shall remain outstanding until the delivery of such Conversion Shares; and provided, further,
that if the Holder elects to defer the issuance of the Conversion Shares, it may exercise its rights under either clause (i) or (ii)
above at any time prior to the issuance of the Conversion Shares upon two (2) Business Days’ notice to the Maker.
(b)
Mechanics of Fulfilling Holder’s Election. The Maker shall immediately send to
the Holder, upon receipt of a Conversion Notice from the Holder, which cannot be fully satisfied
as described in Section 3.6(a) above, a notice of the Maker’s inability to fully satisfy the Conversion Notice (the “Inability
to Fully Convert Notice”). Such Inability to Fully Convert Notice shall indicate (i) the reason why the Maker is unable to
fully satisfy the Holder’s Conversion Notice; and (ii) the amount of this Note which cannot
be converted. The Holder shall notify the
Maker of its election pursuant to
Section 3.6(a) above by delivering written notice to the Maker (“Notice in
Response to Inability to Convert”).
(c)
Payment of Mandatory Prepayment Price. If the
Holder shall elect to have
its Note prepaid pursuant to Section
3.6(a)(i) above, the Maker shall pay the Mandatory Prepayment Price to the Holder
within five (5) Business Days of the Maker’s receipt of the Holder’s Notice in Response to Inability
to Convert; provided that
prior to the
Maker’s receipt of
the Holder’s Notice
in Response to
Inability to Convert
the Maker has
not delivered a notice
to the Holder stating, to the satisfaction of
the Holder, that the event or condition
resulting in the Mandatory Prepayment has been
cured and all Conversion Shares issuable to the Holder can and will be delivered to the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Note.
If the Maker shall fail to pay the applicable Mandatory Prepayment Price to the Holder on the date that is two (2) Business Days following
the Maker’s receipt of the Holder’s Notice in Response
to Inability to Convert, in addition
to any remedy the Holder may have
under this Note and the Purchase Agreement, such unpaid amount shall
bear interest at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per month (prorated for partial
months) until paid in full. Until the full Mandatory Prepayment Price is paid in full to the Holder, the Holder may (i) void the Mandatory
Prepayment with respect to that portion of the Note for which the full Mandatory Prepayment Price has not been paid and (ii) receive
back such Note.
(d)
No Rights as Shareholder.
Except as expressly set forth hereunder, nothing contained in this
Note shall be construed as conferring
upon the Holder, prior to the
conversion of this Note, the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder of the
Company in respect of any meeting of shareholders for the election of directors of the Maker
or of any other matter, or any other rights as a shareholder of the Maker.

3.7
Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Conversion Shares. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder,
if the Company fails to deliver or cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder, Conversion Shares or any other shares pursuant
to a conversion on or before the Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an
open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”),
then the Company shall (a) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including
brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number
of Conversion Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the conversion at issue times (2) the
price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (b) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate
the portion of the Note and equivalent number of Conversion Shares for which such conversion was not honored (in which case such conversion
shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company
timely complied with its conversion and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having
a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate
sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall
be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder
in respect of the Buy-In and evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue a decree
of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock
upon conversion of the Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
