Unregistered
Sales of Equity Securities.
On
October 21, 2026, the Company entered into subscription agreements (each, a “Series C Subscription Agreement”) with
certain accredited investors (collectively, the “Series C Investors”), which agreements provided for the sale to the
Series C Investors of 15,000 shares of the Company’s newly designated Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001
per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), at a purchase price of $1,000 per share (collectively, the “Series
C Offering”). The closing of the transactions occurred on the same day. The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of the
Series C Offering were approximately $15.0 million.
On
the date of the closing (the “Effective Date”), the Company filed with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Designations of
Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Certificate
of Designation”), which sets forth the resolutions of the Company’s board of directors designating 15,000 shares of
Series C Preferred Stock and fixing its terms.
The
key terms of the Series C Preferred Stock are as follows:
Conversion.
Each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder, subject to the beneficial ownership and primary market
limitations described below, into such number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common
Stock”), as is equal to the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be converted, multiplied by the stated value of
$1,000 (as the same may be increased from time to time as more fully described below, the “Stated Value”), divided
by the conversion price in effect at the time of the conversion. The initial conversion price will be $0.3519 (which is equal to the
Minimum Price as defined in Listing Rule 5635(d) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”)), subject to adjustment
in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, and similar transactions. In addition, the Series C Preferred Stock will convert into
shares of Common Stock upon written notice from the Company, subject to the beneficial ownership and primary market limitations described
below, (i) upon the consummation of certain fundamental transactions, or (ii) at the election of the Company (A) at any time after the
twenty-four month anniversary of the issuance of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock, upon written notice given to the holders of
such shares, if the VWAP of the Common Stock has been at least $5.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock
dividends, and similar transactions) on 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days, or (B) at any time after March 31, 2030, upon written
notice given to the holders of such shares, if the VWAP of the Common Stock is greater than the then-current conversion price.
Rank.
The Series C Preferred Stock will be senior to the Common Stock and any other class of the Company’s capital stock that is not
by its terms senior to or pari passu with the Series C Preferred Stock.
Dividends.
The holders of Series C Preferred Stock will be entitled to dividends at a rate of 20% per annum, payable in equal quarterly
installments on the last day of each calendar quarter from December 31, 2026 to March 31, 2030. Dividends shall be paid in shares of
Common Stock, valued at the initial conversion price (the number of dividend shares each quarter being fixed at 5% of the shares
issuable upon conversion of the original stated value at the original conversion price). For each dividend payable after April 1,
2027, if the market value of the dividend shares at the time of issuance (based on the average VWAP of the Common Stock during the
five days preceding the dividend payment date) is less than the number of dividend shares multiplied by the initial conversion
price, the shortfall shall be paid by adding such amount to the stated value of the Series C Preferred Stock (or, at the
Company’s election and only if permitted under the terms of the Company’s senior indebtedness, by paying such amount in
cash). A holder that converts its Series C Preferred Stock prior to any dividend payment date
will not receive any dividend that would have accrued after such date with respect to such converted Series C Preferred
Stock. In addition, the dividends will be
accelerated and paid (to the extent not previously paid) upon the consummation of certain fundamental transactions. The holders of
the Series C Preferred Stock also will be entitled to dividends equal, on an as-if-converted to shares of Common Stock basis, to and
in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the Common Stock when, as, and if such dividends are paid on shares of the
Common Stock.
Liquidation.
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (or any Deemed Liquidation Event as
defined in the Series C Certificate of Designation), the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding will be entitled
to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, before any payment shall be made to the holders
of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) 300% of the Stated Value, plus
any dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series C Preferred
Stock been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such event.
Voting.
On any matter to be acted upon or considered by the stockholders of the Company, each holder shall be entitled to vote, together with
the holders of the Common Stock, as a single class, on an “as converted” basis (after applying the beneficial ownership and
primary market limitations described below).
Restrictive
Covenants. Under the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Company will be subject to certain customary restrictive covenants
regarding the incurrence of indebtedness, and the issuance of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per
share less than the then-current conversion price.
Director
Designation Right. So long as 25% of the original Series C Preferred remains outstanding and not converted, the holders of a majority-in-interest
of the Series C Preferred Stock will have the collective right to designate one individual to be appointed to the Company’s board
of directors, subject to certain limitations and subject to the policies and procedures of the Company’s nominating and corporate
governance committee.
Beneficial
Ownership Limitation. The Company will not effect any conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, and a holder will not have the
right to receive dividends or convert any portion of the Series C Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the receipt
of dividends or the conversion, the holder (together with such holder’s affiliates, and any persons acting as a group together
with such holder or any of the holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding
Common Stock.
Primary
Market Limitation. Unless the approval of the Company’s stockholders is not required by the applicable rules of Nasdaq for
issuances of Common Stock in excess of 19.99% of the outstanding Common Stock as of October 21, 2026 (or, if earlier, the date of the
definitive agreement for any transaction aggregated with the sale of the Series C Preferred Stock) (the “Market Limit”),
or unless the Company has obtained such approval, the Company shall not effect any conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, including,
without limitation, any automatic conversion, and a holder shall not have the right to receive dividends on or convert any portion of
the Series C Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the receipt of Common Stock in connection with such dividends
or conversion, the holder would have received in excess of its pro rata share of the Market Limit.
Existing
Notes. As a result of the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock with a conversion price below the current
conversion price under the Company’s 12.0% senior secured
convertible notes due 2029 (the “Existing Notes”), the conversion price under
the Existing Notes shall be reduced to $0.3519, the conversion price of the Series C Preferred Stock. In addition, Series C Investors
that are also holders of the Existing Notes acknowledged that the concerns underlying the event described
in Section 7(l) of the Existing Notes had been addressed as a result of the Company’s receipt of payment in
respect of Medicare claims submitted to Novitas Solutions, Inc., a Medicare Administrative Contractor designated by the Centers for Medicare
& Medicaid Services to process Medicare claims, which oversees the jurisdiction in which the Company’s laboratory in Irving,
Texas is located.
Registration
Rights. The Company and the Series C Investors also executed a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”),
pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant
to the Series C Preferred Stock.
The
offer and sale of the shares of the Series C Preferred Stock, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of, and in payment
of dividends on, the Series C Preferred Stock, are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated
thereunder because, among other things, the transaction did not involve a public offering, the investors are accredited investors, the
investors are taking the securities for investment and not resale and the Company took appropriate measures to restrict the transfer
of the securities.
The
securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in United States absent registration or an
exemption from registration. This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to
buy nor shall there be any sale of these Securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful
prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
The
forgoing description of the Series C Certificate of Designation and the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the full text of the forms of such documents, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 3.1 and 10.1, respectively, to this Current

(as the same may be increased from time to time pursuant to Section 3, the “Stated Value”). The Series C Preferred

Section
3. Dividends. Holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive: (a) a dividend payable on each Preferred
Dividend Date as follows: (i) a number of shares of Common Stock representing the result of (A) twenty percent (20.0%) of the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock then held by such Holder (based on the Stated Value
of such shares as of the Issuance Date) divided by (B) four (the shares issuable under this clause (i), the “PIK Shares”),
plus (ii) in respect of any Preferred Dividend Date from and after April 1, 2027, by adding to the Stated Value of the applicable shares
of Series C Preferred Stock an amount equal to the amount, if any, by which (1) the result of (x) the number of PIK Shares issued on
such date multiplied by (y) the Conversion Price, exceeds (2) the market value of such PIK Shares (which shall be valued at the average
of the VWAP for each of the five (5) Business Days immediately prior to the applicable Preferred Dividend Date); provided that in lieu
of so increasing the Stated Value (and to the extent not prohibited under the terms of the Company’s indebtedness or otherwise),
the Company may pay such amount in cash; and (b) dividends equal, on an as-if-converted to shares of Common Stock basis, to and in the
same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the Common Stock when, as, and if such dividends are paid on shares of the Common Stock.
The dividends set forth in clause (a)(i) of this Section 3 will be satisfied solely by delivery of shares of Common Stock. The dividends
set forth in clause (a) shall be accelerated and paid (to the extent not previously paid) upon the consummation of a Fundamental Transaction.
The dividends set forth in clause (a) shall be paid (to the extent accrued and not previously paid) upon the Mandatory Conversion Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that a Holder’s right to participate in any dividend of PIK Shares or any stock dividend
declared on the Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled to pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 3 (“Dividend Shares”)
would result in such Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation and/or its pro rata portion of the Primary Market Limitation,
then such Holder shall not be entitled to participate in any such dividend to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any PIK
Shares or Dividend Shares as a result of such dividend to such extent) and the portion of such PIK Shares and/or Dividend Shares that
would cause such Holder to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation and/or its pro rata portion of the Primary Market Limitation shall
be held in abeyance for the benefit of such Holder until such time, if ever, as such Holder’s beneficial ownership thereof would
not result in such Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation or its pro rata portion of the Primary Market Limitation, as
applicable.
Section
4. Voting Rights. On any matter presented to the stockholders of the Corporation for their action or consideration at any meeting
of stockholders of the Corporation (or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of meeting), each holder of outstanding shares of Series
C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which the shares
of Series C Preferred Stock held by such holder are convertible as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on
such matter (it being agreed and understood that in so calculating the number of votes, (1) the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall
be applied in accordance with Section 6(e), (2) the Primary Market Limitation shall be applied in accordance with Section 6(f), and (3)
if the Conversion Price is less than the Minimum Price (as defined in the Listing Rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC), the Conversion
Price shall be deemed to be the Minimum Price solely for the purposes of this Section 4). Except as provided by law or by the other provisions
of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of
Common Stock as a single class and on an as-converted to Common Stock basis. In addition, as long as at least 25% of the shares of Series
C Preferred Stock issued as of the Issuance Date are outstanding, the Corporation may not, without the consent of the Required Majority,
(a) amend, alter or repeal any provision of this Certificate of Designation in a manner that adversely affects the powers, preferences
or rights of the Series C Preferred Stock, (b) increase the number of authorized shares of Series C Preferred Stock, (c) issue, or obligate
itself to issue shares of, any additional class or series of capital stock unless the same ranks junior or pari passu to the Series C
Preferred Stock with respect to the distribution of assets on Liquidation, (d) create or authorize the creation of any debt security,
borrow money or guaranty any indebtedness, other than indebtedness evidenced by the Existing Notes or Permitted Indebtedness (as defined
in the Existing Notes), or (e) issue any Common Stock at a price per share less than the Conversion Price, or convertible securities
that are convertible into shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Conversion Price, other than in an Exempted Issuance
(as defined in the Existing Notes).
Section
5. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up; Certain Mergers, Consolidations and Asset Sales.
a)
Preferential Payments to Holders of Series C Preferred Stock. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the Corporation (a “Liquidation”) or Deemed Liquidation Event, the holders of shares of Series C
Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its
stockholders, before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, and on a pari
passu basis with holders of any Parity Stock, an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) 300% of the Stated Value, plus any
dividends accrued but unpaid thereon payable pursuant to Section 3(a) (including any accrued but unpaid dividends that are accelerated
as a result of a Deemed Liquidation Event), or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series C Preferred
Stock been converted into Common Stock pursuant to Section 6 immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution, winding up or Deemed
Liquidation Event (the amount payable pursuant to this sentence is hereinafter referred to as the “Series C Liquidation Amount”).
If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event, the assets of the Corporation
available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock the full
amount to which they shall be entitled under this subparagraph a) and to pay the holders of any Parity Stock the full amount to which
they are entitled pursuant to the terms of such Parity Stock, the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock
shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would
otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares
were paid in full.
b)
Payments to Holders of Common Stock. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event, after the payment of all preferential amounts required to be paid to the holders of shares of
Series C Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders
shall be distributed among the holders of shares of Common Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares held by each such holder.
c)
Deemed Liquidation Events. A “Deemed Liquidation Event” shall mean (i) a merger or consolidation in which the
Corporation is a constituent party or a subsidiary of the Corporation is a constituent party and the Corporation issues shares of its
capital stock pursuant to such merger or consolidation, provided, however, a Deemed Liquidation Event shall not include any such merger
or consolidation involving the Corporation or a subsidiary in which the shares of capital stock of the Corporation outstanding immediately
prior to such merger or consolidation continue to represent, or are converted into or exchanged for shares of capital stock that represent,
immediately following such merger or consolidation, at least a majority, by voting power, of the capital stock of (1) the surviving or
resulting corporation; or (2) if the surviving or resulting corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of another corporation immediately
following such merger or consolidation, the parent corporation of such surviving or resulting corporation; or (ii) the sale, lease, transfer,
exclusive license or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Corporation or any subsidiary
of the Corporation of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or the sale or disposition
(whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of one or more subsidiaries of the Corporation if substantially all of the assets of
the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, except where such sale, lease, transfer,
exclusive license or other disposition is to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation.
d)
Effecting a Deemed Liquidation Event. The Corporation shall not have the power to effect a Deemed Liquidation Event unless the
agreement or plan of merger or consolidation for such transaction provides that the consideration payable to the stockholders of the
Corporation shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with the provisions hereof.
Section
6. Conversion.
a)
Conversions at Option of Holder. Subject to Section 6(g), each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at any
time and from time to time, at the option of the Holder thereof, into that number of shares of Common Stock (subject to the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation set forth in Section 6(e) and any Primary Market Limitation set forth in Section 6(f)) determined by dividing the
Stated Value of such share of Series C Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price. Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation
with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”) and by surrendering such
Holder’s certificate or certificates for all such shares of Series C Preferred Stock being converted (or, if such Holder alleges
that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation
to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction
of such certificate) to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice. (For purposes hereof, the date upon which both the Notice
of Conversion is received and the certificate is surrendered (or a lost certificate affidavit and an indemnity agreement in a form acceptable
to the Corporation is received) is hereafter referred to as the “Optional Conversion Date.”) Within three (3) Trading
Days after the Optional Conversion Date, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such Holder, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate
or certificates for the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of such Holder’s Series C Preferred Stock in accordance with
the further provisions hereof. If a certificate has not been converted in full, the Corporation shall within three (3) Trading Days after
the Share Delivery Date issue to Holder a new certificate representing the shares of Series C Preferred Stock underlying the certificate
that was surrendered which were not converted. To the extent that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained in Section 6(e) applies
to the converting Holder, the determination of whether the Series C Preferred Stock is convertible (in relation to other securities owned
by such Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of how many shares of Series C Preferred Stock are convertible
shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be such Holder’s
determination of whether the shares of Series C Preferred Stock may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder
together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and how many shares of the Series C Preferred Stock are convertible, in each case
subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to
the Company each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in
this Section and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.
b)
Mandatory Conversion. At the time of conversion set forth in a Corporation Conversion Notice, which may be delivered by the Corporation
to the Holders: (i) in connection with a Fundamental Transaction, (ii) at any time after the twenty-four month anniversary of the Issuance
Date if at such time (A) a Conversion Shares Registration Statement is then effective under the Securities Act, and (B) the VWAP of the
Common Stock has equaled or exceeded the Mandatory Conversion Threshold Price for twenty (20) Business Days during any thirty (30) Business
Day period, and (ii) at any time after March 31, 2030, if at such time the VWAP of the Common Stock equals or exceeds the Conversion
Price (the “Mandatory Conversion Date” and together with an Optional Conversion Date, the “Conversion Date”;
each such event described in clauses (i) through (ii), a “Designated Event”), each outstanding share of Series C Preferred
Stock will automatically convert (subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation set forth in Section 6(e) and any Primary Market Limitation
set forth in Section 6(f)) into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the
Stated Value by the Conversion Price in effect on the Mandatory Conversion Date (a “Mandatory Conversion”). Any Corporation
Conversion Notice shall be delivered at least ten (10) Trading Days prior to the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction to which
it relates. Within three (3) Trading Days of (x) the Mandatory Conversion Date, if the applicable shares of Series C Preferred Stock
are held in book entry form, or (y) such Holder’s surrender of its certificated Series C Preferred Stock, if the Holder’s
Series C Preferred Stock is certificated (or, if such Holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost
certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may
be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate), the Company shall deliver:
(I) to each Holder, the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of such Holder’s applicable shares of Series C Preferred Stock,
and (II) the PIK Shares, if any, issuable upon Mandatory Conversion under Section 3, to Holders as of the Mandatory Conversion Date;
provided that, any failure by the Holder to return certificated Series C Preferred Stock, if any, will have no effect on the Mandatory
Conversion pursuant to this Section 6(b), which Mandatory Conversion will be deemed to occur on the Mandatory Conversion Date. To the
extent that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained in Section 6(e) applies to any Holder, such Holder shall no less than five
Business Days, and no more than ten Business Days, prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date, provide the Company with a written determination
(a “Mandatory Conversion Determination”), delivered in accordance with Section 8, of whether such Holder’s applicable
shares of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates
and Attribution Parties) and of how many shares of Series C Preferred Stock are convertible, and the submission of a Mandatory Conversion
Determination shall be deemed to be such Holder’s determination of the maximum number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock that
may be converted, subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The portion of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Mandatory
Conversion hereunder that would cause such Holder to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation or any Primary Market Limitation shall
be held in abeyance for the benefit of such Holder until such time, if ever, as such Holder’s beneficial ownership thereof would
not result in such Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation or until such time, if ever, as the Company obtains the approval
of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the applicable Trading Market for issuances of Common Stock in excess of any
Primary Market Limitation, as applicable. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the
Company each time it delivers a Mandatory Conversion Determination that such determination has not violated the restrictions set forth
in Section 6(e) and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.
c)
Conversion Price. The conversion price for any Series C Preferred Stock shall be $0.3519, subject to adjustment herein (the “Conversion
Price”).
d)
Mechanics of Conversion.
(i)
Delivery of Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. Not later than three (3) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (but, in the case
of a Mandatory Conversion pursuant to a Corporation Conversion Notice, no later than immediately prior to the time of consummation of
the applicable Fundamental Transaction) (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Corporation shall deliver, or cause to be
delivered, to the converting Holder (A) Conversion Shares which shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions representing
the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of the applicable shares of Series C Preferred Stock (assuming for
such purposes that the holding period requirement under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act has been satisfied), and (B) a
bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends payable in cash, if any. The Corporation shall, at the request of the converting
Holder, deliver the Conversion Shares required to be delivered by the Corporation under this Section 6 electronically through the Depository
Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions. The Series C Preferred Stock shall not be redeemed
for cash and under no circumstances shall the Corporation be required to net cash settle the Series C Preferred Stock, or to pay any
liquidated damages on account of any failure to satisfy any of its obligations under this Certificate of Designation.
(ii)
Failure to Deliver Conversion Shares. If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion or Corporation Conversion Notice, such Conversion
Shares are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date as required hereby, the Holder shall be
entitled to elect by written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before its receipt of such Conversion Shares, to rescind such
Conversion, in which event the Corporation shall promptly return to the Holder any original Series C Preferred Stock certificate delivered
to the Corporation and the Holder shall promptly return to the Corporation the Conversion Shares issued to such Holder pursuant to the
rescinded Conversion Notice.
(iii)
Obligation Absolute. The Corporation’s obligation to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Series C
Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a Holder
to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any
action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by such
Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of law by such Holder or any other
person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to such Holder in connection
with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the
Corporation of any such action that the Corporation may have against such Holder. In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or
all of the Stated Value of its Series C Preferred Stock, the Corporation may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder
or anyone associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless
an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and/or enjoining conversion of all or part of the Series C Preferred Stock
of such Holder shall have been sought and obtained, and the Corporation posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount
of one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Stated Value of Series C Preferred Stock which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall
remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable
to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Corporation shall issue Conversion Shares and,
if applicable, cash (for accrued and declared and unpaid dividends only), upon a properly noticed conversion.
(iv)
Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available
out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of, or as a dividend upon,
the Series C Preferred Stock as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons
other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Series C Preferred Stock), not less than 60 million shares of Common Stock. The Corporation
covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable and, if a Conversion Shares Registration Statement with respect to such shares of Common Stock is then effective under
the Securities Act, shall be registered for public resale in accordance with such Conversion Shares Registration Statement.
(v)
Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of or as dividends
on the Series C Preferred Stock. As to any fraction of a share which a Holder would otherwise be entitled to upon such conversion or
in respect of any such dividend, the Corporation shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction
in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share of Common Stock.
(vi)
Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of Conversion Shares on conversion of this Series C Preferred Stock shall be made without
charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such Conversion
Shares, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in
the issuance and delivery of any such Conversion Shares upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holders of such shares of Series
C Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such Conversion Shares unless or until the Person or
Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction
of the Corporation that such tax has been paid. The Corporation shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of
any Notice of Conversion and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar
functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Conversion Shares.
e)
Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, including, without
limitation, a Mandatory Conversion, and a Holder shall not have the right to receive dividends hereunder or convert any portion of the
Series C Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the receipt of dividends hereunder or conversion set forth on the
applicable Notice of Conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together
with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)) would beneficially
own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares
of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common
Stock received as dividends or issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock with respect to which such determination is being
made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted Series
C Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of
the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous
to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, the Series C Preferred Stock) beneficially owned by such Holder or
any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 6(e), beneficial
ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder,
it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Corporation is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith
(other than as it relates to a Holder relying on the number of shares issued and outstanding as provided by the Corporation pursuant
to this Section). In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 6(e), in determining the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the
most recent of the following: (i) the Corporation’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case
may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Corporation or the Transfer
Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request (which may be via email) of a
Holder, the Corporation shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock
then outstanding. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series C Preferred
Stock held by the applicable Holder. A Holder, upon at least sixty-one (61) days advance notice to the Corporation, may terminate, increase
or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 6(e); provided, however, that the Holder shall not be entitled
to increase or terminate the limitation contained in this Section 6(e) if the Holder has acquired (or if any of the Holder’s Attribution
Parties has indirectly acquired) the Series C Preferred Stock with the purpose or effect of changing or influencing the control of the
Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time following the receipt by a Holder of a Corporation Conversion Notice in connection
with a Fundamental Transaction, the Holder may waive and/or change the Beneficial Ownership Limitation effective immediately prior to
the time of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction upon written notice to the Corporation and may reinstitute a Beneficial
Ownership Limitation at any time thereafter effective immediately upon written notice to the Corporation. The limitations contained in
this Section 6(e) shall apply to a successor holder of Series C Preferred Stock.
f)
Primary Market Limitation. Unless the approval of the Corporation’s stockholders is not required by the applicable rules
of the applicable Trading Market for issuances of Common Stock in excess of the Primary Market Limitation (as defined below), or the
Corporation has obtained such approval, the Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, including, without
limitation, a Mandatory Conversion, and a Holder shall not have the right to receive dividends hereunder or convert any portion of the
Series C Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the receipt of dividends hereunder or conversion set forth on the
applicable Notice of Conversion or Corporation Conversion Notice, the Holder would have received in respect of its shares of Series C
Preferred Stock in excess of its pro rata share of the Primary Market Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence,
the Holder’s pro rata share of the Primary Market Limitation shall be equal to (i) the original purchase price paid to the Corporation
for all the shares of Series C Preferred Stock acquired by the Holder (and not subsequently disposed of, other than pursuant to a conversion
hereunder), divided by (ii) the aggregate original purchase price paid to the Corporation for all the outstanding shares of Series C
Preferred Stock and all other securities aggregated with the Series C Preferred Stock for the purposes of the applicable rules of the
applicable Trading Market. The “Primary Market Limitation” shall be 19.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding immediately before the first sale of Series C Preferred Stock (or the first sale of any other securities aggregated with
the Series C Preferred Stock for the purposes of the applicable rules of the applicable Trading Market, if earlier). The limitations
contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of the Series C Preferred Stock.
Section
7. Certain Adjustments.
a)
Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while this Series C Preferred Stock 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
other Common Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation
upon conversion of, or payment of a dividend on, this Series C Preferred Stock), (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
Corporation, then each of the Conversion Price and the Mandatory Conversion Threshold 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 Corporation) 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 7(a) 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.
b)
Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding, if the Corporation declares or makes
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 Series C Preferred Stock, 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 Series C Preferred Stock (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, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result
in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation or any Primary Market 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 or any Primary Market Limitation).
c)
Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding and other than in connection with
a Liquidation, including a Deemed Liquidation Event, (i) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions
effects any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another Person, (ii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender
offer or exchange offer (whether by the Corporation 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 fifty percent
(50%) or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iii) the Corporation, 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 (iv) the Corporation, 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 or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires
more than fifty percent (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 Series C Preferred Stock, 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, the number of shares of Common Stock of the
successor or acquiring corporation or of the Corporation, 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 Series C Preferred Stock is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. 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 share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Corporation 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 Series C Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the
foregoing provisions, any successor to the Corporation or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file a new Certificate
of Designation with the same terms and conditions and issue to the Holders new preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions
and evidencing the Holders’ right to convert such preferred stock into Alternate Consideration. The Corporation shall cause any
successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Corporation is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”)
to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Corporation under this Certificate of Designation and the other Transaction Documents
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7(c) 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 Series C Preferred Stock, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Series C Preferred Stock a security of the Successor
Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Series C Preferred Stock 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 Series C Preferred Stock (without regard to any limitations on the conversion
of this Series C Preferred Stock) 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 Series C Preferred Stock 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 Certificate of Designation and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Corporation” shall
refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Corporation and shall assume all of the obligations
of the Corporation under this Certificate of Designation and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor
Entity had been named as the Corporation herein.
d)
Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the
case may be. For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date
shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) issued and outstanding.
e)
Notice to the Holders.
(i)
Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price or the Mandatory Conversion Threshold Price is adjusted pursuant
to any provision of this Section 7, the Corporation shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price
or the Mandatory Conversion Threshold Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
(ii)
Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder. If (A) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form)
on the Common Stock, (B) the Corporation shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C)
the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any
shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Corporation shall be required in connection
with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party, any sale or transfer
of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted
into other securities, cash or property or (E) the Corporation shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation
or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, then, in each case, the Corporation shall cause to be filed at each office or agency
maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Series C Preferred Stock, and shall cause to be delivered to each Holder at its last
address as it shall appear upon the stock books of the Corporation, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record
or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock
of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which
such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date
as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock
for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange,
provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the
corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains,
material, non-public information regarding the Corporation or any of the Subsidiaries, the Corporation shall simultaneously file such
notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to convert the Conversion Amount
of this Series C Preferred Stock (or any part hereof) during the twenty (20) day period commencing on the date of such notice through
the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.
Section
8. Miscellaneous.

b)

2. Registration.
(a) Mandatory
Registration. Not later than the Registration Filing Date, the Company shall file with the Commission a Registration Statement on
Form S-1, Form S-3 or any other appropriate form, relating to the resale by the Holders of all of the Registrable Securities, and subject
to any Allowable Delay or Blackout Period, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement
to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable thereafter, but in no event later than the Effectiveness Deadline and
shall use its best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date that all
Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (i) have been sold, thereunder or pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) may be
sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance
with the current public information requirement under Rule 144, as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion
letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent and the affected Holders (the “Effectiveness
Period”). The Registration Statement may serve as a post-effective amendment to the registration statement for the Initial
Covered Shares, and include a combined prospectus for both offerings, pursuant to Rule 429 of the Securities Act. The registration rights
under this Section 2 shall not apply or be available with respect to the officers and directors of the Company and their affiliates.
(b) Allocation
of Registrable Securities. The initial number of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement and any increase in
the number of Registrable Securities included therein shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders based on the number of Registrable
Securities held by each Holder at the time the Registration Statement covering such initial number of Registrable Securities or increase
thereof is declared effective by the SEC. In the event that a Holder sells or otherwise transfers any of such Holder’s Registrable
Securities or Series C Preferred Stock convertible into Registrable Securities, otherwise than in a sale pursuant to the Registration
Statement, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the then remaining number of Registrable Securities included in such
Registration Statement for such transferor. Except as described in Section 2(a), in no event shall the Company include any securities
other than Registrable Securities on any Registration Statement without the prior written consent of the Majority Holders.
(c) Reduction
of Included Securities; Suspension of Registration Statement.
(i) If
the Commission allows the Registration Statement to be declared effective at any time before or after the Effectiveness Date, subject
to the withdrawal of certain Registrable Securities from the Registration Statement, and the reason is the Commission’s determination
that (x) the offering of any of the Registrable Securities constitutes a primary offering of securities by the Company, (y) Rule 415
may not be relied upon for the registration of the resale of any or all of the Registrable Securities, and/or (z) a Holder of any Registrable
Securities must be named as an underwriter (and such Holder does not agree to be so named), the Holders understand and agree the Company
may reduce, on a pro rata basis (or on such other basis as is necessary to avoid such a determination by the Commission), the total number
of Registrable Securities to be registered on behalf of each such Holder. In the case of any such pro rata reduction, the number of Registrable
Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered
Covered Shares. In addition, any such affected Holder shall be entitled to Piggyback Registration rights after the Registration Statement
is declared effective by the Commission until such time as: (A) all Registrable Securities have been registered pursuant to an effective
Registration Statement, (B) the Registrable Securities may be resold without restriction pursuant to SEC Rule 144 of the Securities Act
or (C) the Holder agrees to be named as an underwriter in any such registration statement. The Holders acknowledge and agree the provisions
of this paragraph may apply to more than one Registration Statement; and
Registration Rights Agreement - 4
(ii) For
not more than thirty (30) consecutive days or for a total of not more than sixty (60) days in any twelve (12) month period, and during
any Blackout Period, the Company may suspend the use of any prospectus included in any Registration Statement contemplated by this Section
in the event that the Company determines in good faith that such suspension is necessary to (A) delay the disclosure of MNPI concerning
the Company, the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best interests of the Company
or (B) amend or supplement the affected Registration Statement or the related prospectus so that (i) such Registration Statement shall
not include 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 or (ii) such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, including in
connection with the filing of a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement in connection with the Company’s filing
of an Annual Report on Form 10-K for any fiscal year (an “Allowed Delay”); provided, that the Company shall promptly
(a) notify each Holder in writing of the commencement of an Allowed Delay, but shall not (without the prior written consent of an Holder)
disclose to such Holder any MNPI giving rise to an Allowed Delay, (b) advise the Holders in writing to cease all sales under the Registration
Statement until the end of the Allowed Delay and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate an Allowed Delay as promptly as
reasonably practicable or, in the event of a Blackout Period, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Blackout Period.
(d) Piggyback
Registration Rights. In addition to the Company’s agreement pursuant to Section 2(a) above, if the Company shall, at any time
during the Effectiveness Period or as contemplated pursuant to Section 2(c) and ending when all Registrable Securities have been sold
by Holders, determine (i) to register for sale any of its Common Stock in an underwritten offering, or (ii) to file a registration statement
covering the resale of any shares of the Common Stock held by any of its stockholders (other than (w) any registration statement on Form
S-8 or Form S-4, (x) any registration statement for an offering pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(x) under the Securities Act, except to the
extent a prospectus for an immediate underwritten offering or a prospectus covering the resale of any shares of the Common Stock held
by any of its stockholders, in each case meeting the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act, is included therein at the
initial effective time thereof, (y) any registration statement filed as contemplated by Section 2(a) above, and (z) any registration
statement filed as contemplated by the Existing Registration Rights Agreements), the Company shall provide written notice to the Holders,
which notice shall be provided no less than fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the filing of such applicable registration statement
(the “Company Notice”). In that event, the right of any Holder to include the Registrable Securities in such a registration
shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s written request to participate which shall be delivered to the Company within ten (10)
calendar days after the Company Notice, as well as such Holder’s participation in such underwriting (if applicable, for purposes
of this paragraph) and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein.
All Holders proposing to sell any of their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and any
other stockholders of the Company selling their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary
form with the underwriter selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the underwriter determines
that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares of Common Stock or the amount of other securities to be underwritten,
the underwriter may exclude some or all Registrable Securities from such registration and underwriting. The Company shall so advise all
Holders (except those Holders who failed to timely elect to include their Registrable Securities through such underwriting or have indicated
to the Company their decision not to do so), and indicate to each such Holder the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may
be included in the registration and underwriting, if any. The number of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and
underwriting shall be allocated first to the Company, then to selling stockholders who are participating pursuant to the Existing Registration
Rights Agreements, and then to all other selling stockholders, including the Holders, who have requested to sell in the registration
on a pro rata basis according to the number of shares requested to be included therein. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any
such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw such Holder’s Registrable Securities therefrom by delivering a written notice
to the Company and the underwriter. A Holder with Registrable Securities included in any registration shall furnish to the Company such
information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall
be required in order to comply with any applicable law or regulation in connection with the registration of such Holder’s Registrable
Securities or any qualification or compliance with respect to such Holder’s Registrable Securities and referred to in this Agreement.
The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it before the effective date of such registration,
whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2(d) that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule
144 without restriction (including, without limitation, volume restrictions) or that are the subject of a then-effective Registration
Statement. The Company may postpone or withdraw the filing or the effectiveness of a piggyback registration at any time in its sole discretion.
Registration Rights Agreement - 5
(e) Market
Stand Off. In connection with any underwritten offering of equity securities of the Company (subject to the Company’s compliance
with Section 2(d)), if requested by the managing underwriter, each Holder agrees that it shall not transfer any shares of Common Stock,
Series C Preferred Stock or other equity securities of the Company (other than those included in such underwritten offering pursuant
to this Agreement), without the prior written consent of the Company and the managing underwriter, during the 90-day period (or such
shorter time agreed to by the managing underwriters) beginning on the date of pricing of such offering (the “Lock-Up Period”),
except as expressly permitted by such lock-up agreement or in the event the managing underwriters otherwise consent in writing. Each
Holder agrees to execute a customary lock-up agreement in favor of the underwriters to such effect (in each case on substantially the
same terms and conditions as the directors, executive officers and/or other stockholders of the Company). During the Lock-Up Period,
the Company will not be obligated to include any Registrable Securities that are then subject to such a lock-up agreement in any subsequent
registration statement pursuant to Section 2(d).
3. Registration
Procedures for Registrable Securities. The Company will keep each Holder reasonably advised as to the filing and effectiveness of
the Registration Statement. At its expense with respect to the Registration Statement, the Company will:
(a) prepare
and file with the Commission with respect to the Registrable Securities, a Registration Statement on Form S-1, Form S-3, or any other
form for which the Company then qualifies or which counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for
the sale of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended methods of distribution thereof, and use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective during the Effectiveness Period, in each case except
during an Allowable Delay or a Blackout Period. Thereafter, the Company shall be entitled to withdraw such Registration Statement and
the Holders shall have no further right to offer or sell any of the Registrable Securities registered for resale thereon pursuant to
the respective Registration Statement (or any prospectus relating thereto);
(b) if
the Registration Statement is subject to review by the Commission, respond in a commercially reasonable manner to all comments and diligently

each preliminary prospectus and any other prospectus filed under Rule 424 of the Securities Act) as such Holders may reasonably request,
in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and (iii) such other documents as such Holder may require to consummate the
disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder, but only during the Effectiveness Period;
(e) use
its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify such registration under such other applicable securities laws of such jurisdictions
as any Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement reasonably requests and as may be necessary for the marketability
of the Registrable Securities (such request to be made by the time the applicable Registration Statement is deemed effective by the Commission)
and do any and all other acts and things necessary to enable such Holder to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable
Securities owned by such Holder; provided, that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction
where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph, (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction,
or (iii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

or supplemented, to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or an omission to state a material fact necessary in order to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and the Company shall promptly
thereafter prepare and furnish to such Holder a supplement or amendment to such prospectus (or prepare and file appropriate reports under
the Exchange Act) so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not contain
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, unless suspension of the use of such prospectus otherwise is authorized
herein (including, without limitation, in the case of an Allowed Delay) or in the event of a Blackout Period, in which case no supplement
or amendment need be furnished (or Exchange Act filing made) until as promptly as reasonably practicable after the termination of such
suspension or Blackout Period;

and continue to comply during the Effectiveness Period, in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and with
all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration

its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be listed or quoted
on such Approved Market on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed or quoted;

the Common Stock, within a reasonable period of time after the Effective Date, a “blanket” legal opinion in customary form
to the effect that the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement have been registered for resale under the Securities
Act and, if such counsel has requested and received a signed certificate (a “Legend Removal Certificate”) from a Holder
of the Registrable Securities, may then be reissued without any legend or restriction relating to their status as “restricted securities”

as described in Section 3(h) hereof, or notice of the end of the Blackout Period, and, if so directed by the Company, such Holder shall
deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies (including, without limitation, any and all drafts), other than permanent

by Holder. A Holder with Registrable Securities included in any registration shall furnish to the Company (and any managing underwriter(s),
where applicable) such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, the intended method of disposition of such
securities, and such other information as shall be required in order to comply with any applicable law or regulation in connection with
the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities or any qualification or compliance with respect to such Holder’s
Registrable Securities and referred to in this Agreement. A form of Selling Stockholder Questionnaire is attached to this Agreement.
8. Indemnification.
(a) In
the event of the offer and sale of Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, the Company shall, and hereby does, indemnify and
hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder, its directors, officers, partners, each other person who participates
as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities, and each other person, if any, who controls or is under common control
with such Holder or any such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages
or liabilities, joint or several, and expenses to which the Holder or any such director, officer, partner or underwriter or controlling
person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are
based upon (1) in the case of any registration statement prepared and filed by the Company under which Registrable Securities were registered
under the Securities Act, if such registration statement contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (2) in the case of any preliminary prospectus,
final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in such registration statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, if such preliminary
prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or any violation
by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities
Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law in connection with this Agreement; and the Company shall reimburse the Holder, and
each such director, officer, partner, underwriter and controlling person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably and actually
incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding;
provided, that such indemnity agreement found in this Section 8(a) shall in no event exceed the net proceeds from the Offering received
by the Company; and provided further, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon (i) such Holder’s failure
to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, (ii) such Holder’s breach of its obligations under Section
4, or (iii) an untrue statement in or omission from such registration statement, or any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus,
summary prospectus, amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company
by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed
method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use
therein. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Holders, or
any such director, officer, partner, underwriter or controlling person and shall survive the transfer of such shares by the Holder.
Registration Rights Agreement - 9
(b) As
a condition to including Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, each Holder agrees to
be bound by the terms of this Section 8 and to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its
directors and officers, and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act,
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or any such director or officer or controlling
person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state law, to the extent arising out of
or based solely upon: (x) such Holder’s failure to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, (y)
such Holder’s breach of its obligations under Section 4, or (z) (1) in the case of any registration statement prepared and filed
by the Company under which Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, if such registration statement contained
an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading or (2) in the case of any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in such registration
statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus includes an untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions referred
to in (z)(1) or (z)(2) above are in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder
expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution
of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein. Each Holder’s
obligation to indemnify shall be individual, not joint and several, and in no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder
be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving
rise to such indemnification obligation.
(c) Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in this
Section (including any governmental action), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying
party, give written notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such action; provided, that the failure of any indemnified
party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section, except to the
extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against
an indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to
assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently
incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment
a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties arises in respect of such claim after the assumption of the
defenses thereof or the indemnifying party fails to defend such claim in a diligent manner. If, in such indemnified party’s reasonable
judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties arises in respect of such claim after the assumption
of the defenses thereof, the indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict
by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying
party. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action or proceeding effected without its consent. No indemnifying
party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed),
consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement, unless such consent to entry of judgment or settlement includes as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect
of such claim or litigation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, and without limiting any of the rights set forth
above, in any event any party shall have the right to retain, at its own expense, counsel with respect to the defense of a claim.
Registration Rights Agreement - 10
(d) If
an indemnifying party does not or is not permitted to assume the defense of an action pursuant to Section 8(c) or in the case of the
expense reimbursement obligation set forth in Sections 8(a) and 8(b), the indemnification required by Sections 8(a) and 8(b) shall be
made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills received or expenses,
losses, damages, or liabilities are incurred provided that the indemnifying party is provided appropriate documentation.
(e) If
the indemnification provided for in Sections 8(a) and 8(b) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified
party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying
such indemnified party hereunder, shall (i) contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense as is appropriate to reflect the proportionate relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one
hand and the indemnified party on the other (determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact or omission relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties’
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission), or (ii) if
the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law or provides a lesser sum to the indemnified party than
the amount hereinafter calculated, not only the proportionate relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, but
also the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other, as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. No indemnified party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f)
of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any indemnifying party who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
Registration Rights Agreement - 11
9. Rule
144. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of SEC Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that
may at any time permit the Holders to sell the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, during the Effectiveness Period,
the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) to make and keep public information available as those terms are understood
in Rule 144, (ii) to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required to be filed by an issuer of securities
registered under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) as long as any Holder owns any Registrable Securities,
to furnish in writing upon such Holder’s request a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements
of Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and to furnish to such Holder a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly
report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company as may be reasonably requested in availing such Holder
of any rule or regulation of the SEC permitting the selling of any such Registrable Securities without registration, (iv) with respect
to the sale of any Registrable Securities by a Holder pursuant to Rule 144 and subject to Holder providing necessary documentation to
demonstrate satisfaction of the requirements of such rule, to promptly furnish, without any charge to such Holder, a written legal opinion
of its counsel to facilitate such sale and, if necessary, instruct its transfer agent in writing that it may rely on said written legal
opinion of counsel with respect to said sale and (v) undertake any additional actions commercially necessary to maintain the availability
of Rule 144.
10. Independent
Nature of Each Purchaser’s Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement are several and not
joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and each Purchaser shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the
obligations of any other Purchaser under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto,
shall be deemed to constitute such Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture, or any other kind of entity, or create
a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation
the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in
any proceeding for such purpose.
11. Miscellaneous.
(a) Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the
internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the
State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State
of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City
of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated
hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that
it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient
forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process
and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for
such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice
thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. If any
provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect
the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision
of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A
JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
Registration Rights Agreement - 12
(b) Remedies.
In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the
Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including
recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and each Holder agree
that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions
of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall
not assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(c) Successors
and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors,
permitted transferees and assignees, executors and administrators of the parties hereto.
(d) No
Inconsistent Agreements. The Company has not entered, as of the date hereof, and shall not enter, on or after the date of this Agreement,
into any agreement with respect to its securities that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement
or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.
(e) Entire
Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects
hereof.
(f) Notices,

any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of any similar breach or default thereunder occurring; nor shall any waiver
of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit,
consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any Holder of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on
