Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive
Agreement
Investment Agreement
On May 6, 2026, Chiron Real Estate Inc.
(the “Company”) entered into an Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with Maewyn XRN LP (the “Maewyn
Purchaser”) and each other purchaser that may become a party to this Investment Agreement from time to time (collectively, the “Purchasers”).
Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Purchasers a total of 1,000,000 shares of a new series
of 6.00% Series C Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), at a
purchase price of $100.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $100.0 million (the “Commitment Amount”) (the “Private
Placement”). The sale of Series C Preferred Stock may occur in multiple tranches. On the terms and subject to conditions set
forth in the Investment Agreement, including certain customary closing conditions, the Company will submit an initial funding request
to Purchasers specifying the amount of Series C Preferred Stock that it intends to sell, in a minimum amount of $25.0 million, with
the closing of such initial sale occurring on or prior to June 20, 2026 (the “Initial Closing”). Following the occurrence
of the Initial Closing until November 6, 2026, the Company may submit additional funding requests (each, a “Subsequent Funding
Request”) to draw any amount (subject to a minimum of $25.0 million per funding request, or the remaining unfunded Commitment Amount
if less than $25.0 million) up to the maximum aggregate Commitment Amount of $100.0 million. The Investment Agreement contains certain
customary representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company and the Purchasers. The Company will reimburse the Purchasers
for all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel to the Purchasers through the Initial Closing, up to an aggregate amount
of $250,000 (“reimbursable expenses”). In addition, the Company will pay a commitment fee to the Purchasers equal to 3% of
the Commitment Amount (“commitment fee”). The Company expects to use the proceeds from the Private Placement for general business
and working capital purposes, including potential future acquisitions.
The foregoing description of the Investment
Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Investment Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1
hereto.
Investor Rights Agreement
In connection with the Private Placement,
on May 6, 2026, the Company and the Purchasers entered an Investor Rights Agreement.
Registration Rights
Pursuant to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, the Purchasers
and their assignees will have customary registration rights with respect to the resale of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock,
the Common Stock (as defined below) into which the Series C Preferred Stock are convertible, the Warrants (as defined below) and
the shares of Common Stock for which the Warrants are exercisable, including resale shelf registration rights, underwritten shelf takedown
demand rights and “piggyback” rights, subject to customary cutbacks, suspensions and other conditions.
Maewyn Board Nomination Rights
Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement,
the Company agreed to cause one designee of the Maewyn Purchaser to be elected as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the
“Board”) as soon as practicable following the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on May 20,
2026. The Company also agreed to appoint the Maewyn Purchaser designee as a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
of the Board. For so long as the Maewyn Purchaser and its affiliates beneficially own at least 5.0% of the Common Stock on a fully diluted
basis (the “Threshold Amount”), the Maewyn Purchaser shall have the right to nominate a replacement nominee for election or
appointment to the Board, subject to the Company’s reasonable approval.
Maewyn Standstill Restrictions
From the date of the Investor Rights Agreement
and until the date on which the Maewyn Purchaser ceases to have a nominee serving on the Board, the Maewyn Purchaser and its affiliates
will be subject to certain customary standstill obligations that restrict them from, among other things, (i) acting alone or in concert
with others to propose to control or knowingly influence the management, the Board or the policies of the Company, (ii) effecting,
seeking or participating in, or assisting or encouraging any other person to effect, seek or participate in, (x) any tender or exchange
offer, merger or other business combination involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries or a significant portion of the Company and
its subsidiaries’ consolidated assets, (y) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation, dissolution or other extraordinary
transaction with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (z) any solicitation of proxies or consents to vote any voting
securities of the Company, or (iii) entering into any short sale, equity swap, total return swap, or similar hedging or derivative
transaction designed to result in the disposition of any economic consequences of ownership of the Company’s equity securities,
subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement.
Maewyn Consent Rights
From the date of the Investor Rights Agreement
until the date that the Maewyn Purchaser ceases to beneficially own at least the Threshold Amount, the Company shall not, without the
affirmative vote or written consent of the Maewyn Purchaser:
• create, incur, assume, guaranty or
permit the existence of any indebtedness of the Company or its subsidiaries (other than indebtedness that exists as of the date of the
Initial Closing); provided, however, the Company will have the right, without such consent, to incur indebtedness if, pro forma for such
indebtedness, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) of the Company and its subsidiaries is equal
to or less than 0.60 to 1:00;
• revoke the Company’s status as
a “real estate investment trust” within the meaning of Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended;
or
• enter into certain transactions with
affiliates.
The foregoing description of the Investor
Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Investor Rights Agreement attached
as Exhibit 10.2 hereto.
Series C Preferred Stock
At the Initial Closing, the Company will file
with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland Articles Supplementary (a form of which is attached as Exhibit A
to the Investment Agreement, the “Articles Supplementary”) classifying the Series C Preferred Stock and establishing
the preferences, rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications and terms and
conditions of the Series C Preferred Stock.
With respect to payment of dividends and distribution
of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Series C Preferred Stock will rank (i) senior to the
common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) and all other classes and series of capital stock
of the Company whose terms do not expressly provide that such class or series will rank on a parity basis with or senior to the Series C
Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends (“Dividend Junior Stock”) or the distribution of assets on the liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company (“Liquidation Junior Stock”), (ii) on a parity basis with each other class or
series of capital stock of the Company whose terms expressly provide that such class or series will rank on a parity basis with the Series C
Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends (“Dividend Parity Stock”) or the distribution of assets on the liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company (“Liquidation Parity Stock”) and (iii) junior to each class or series of capital
stock of the Company whose terms expressly provide that such class or series ranks senior to the Series C Preferred Stock with respect
to the payment of dividends (“Dividend Senior Stock”) or the distribution of assets on the liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of the Company (“Liquidation Senior Stock”) and to all existing and future indebtedness and other non-equity claims on
the Company.
The Series C Preferred Stock will accumulate
cumulative dividends (“Regular Dividends”) at a rate (the “Regular Dividend Rate”) per annum equal to 6.00% on
the Liquidation Preference (as defined below) thereof. The dividend rate will increase to 8% on the date that is four years after the
last date on which the Series C Preferred Stock is issued pursuant to the Investment Agreement and will increase by an additional
2% on each subsequent anniversary thereafter up to a total of 12%. Regular dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock will be payable
if, as and when authorized by the Company’s board of directors or any duly authorized committee thereof, to the extent not prohibited
by law, quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. Declared Regular Dividends
will be payable solely in cash. In the event that any accumulated Regular Dividend is not authorized and paid on the applicable Regular
Dividend payment date, then additional dividends (“Defaulted Regular Dividends”) will accumulate on the amount of such unpaid
Regular Dividend, compounded quarterly at the Regular Dividend Rate.
Shares of the Series C Preferred Stock
will be entitled to participate on an as-converted basis in any dividend (a “Participating Dividend”) declared and paid on
(i) the Common Stock, subject to certain exceptions, including a regular monthly cash dividend on the Common Stock that does not
exceed the product of (x) 0.8 and (y) the quotient obtained by dividing Core Funds From Operations per share for the most recently
completed fiscal quarter by three, and (ii) the common units of limited partnership interest (“OP Units”) of Chiron Real
Estate LP that is not also declared and paid as a dividend on the Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to clause (i). In addition, so
long as any shares of Series C Preferred Stock remain outstanding, unless full Regular Dividends, including any Defaulted Regular
Dividends thereon, have been declared and paid in cash, the Company will be prohibited from declaring or paying any dividends on any Junior
Stock or OP Units, and dividends may only be declared or paid on Dividend Parity Stock on a pro rata basis with the Series C Preferred
Stock, and the Company and its subsidiaries will be prohibited from repurchasing, redeeming or otherwise acquiring for value any Junior
Stock or OP Units, in each case subject to certain exceptions.
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the Company, each share of Series C Preferred Stock will entitle the holder, out of the Company’s assets or
funds legally available therefor, before any distribution out of the assets or funds of the Company may be made to or set aside for the
holders of any Liquidation Junior Stock and subject to the rights of the holders of any Liquidation Senior Stock and the rights of the
Company’s creditors, to receive a payment equal to the greater of (i) the sum of the Liquidation Preference per share and all
unpaid Regular Dividends, including any Defaulted Regular Dividends thereon, if any, that will have accumulated on such share to, but
excluding, the date of such payment and (ii) the amount such holder would have received had such holder converted such share into
Common Stock and held such Common Stock on the date of such payment. The “Liquidation Preference” with respect to any share
of Series C Preferred Stock will be $100 per share.
For so long as any shares of the Series C
Preferred Stock are outstanding, the affirmative vote of either (i) holders of Series C Preferred Stock and holders of each
class or series of Voting Parity Stock, if any, voting together as a single class, representing at least a majority of the combined outstanding
voting power of the Series C Preferred Stock and such Voting Parity Stock, if any, or (ii) the Maewyn Purchaser, will be required
to (i) amend, modify or repeal any provision of the Company’s charter in a manner that materially and adversely affects the
special rights, preferences or voting powers of the Series C Preferred Stock, (ii) (x) amend or modify the Company’s
charter to authorize or create, or to increase the number of authorized shares of, any Dividend Parity Stock, Liquidation Parity Stock,
Dividend Senior Stock or Liquidation Senior Stock or (y) authorize, create or issue any structurally senior equity, other than Series C
Convertible Preferred Units issued by the Operating Partnership to the Company in connection with the issuance of Series C Preferred
Stock pursuant to the Investment Agreement and OP Units, at subsidiaries of the Company existing as of the date of the Initial Closing,
subject to certain exceptions, or (iii) consummate any consolidation or combination with, or merger with or into, another person,
or any binding or statutory share exchange or reclassification involving the Series C Preferred Stock, unless (x) the Series C
Preferred Stock either remains outstanding or is converted or reclassified into, or exchanged for, preference securities of the continuing,
resulting or surviving person (or the parent thereof), (y) such remaining Series C Preferred Stock or preference securities
have rights, preferences and voting powers that, taken as a whole, are not materially less favorable (as determined by the Board) to the
holders thereof than those of the Series C Preferred Stock immediately prior to such transaction, and (z) the issuer of such
remaining Series C Preferred Stock or preference securities is a corporation or other entity organized under the laws of the United
States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia. Until such time as the Maewyn Purchaser beneficially owns (determined in accordance
with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) less than 5.0% of the Common Stock on a fully diluted basis,
any majority consent must include the Maewyn Purchaser.
The Series C Preferred Stock will be
redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company at any time, subject to certain conditions, on or after the date that is
four years after the last date on which the Series C Preferred Stock is issued pursuant to the Investment Agreement (or earlier,
in the case of a Terminating Holder (as defined below)), at a cash redemption price per share equal to the (i) Liquidation Preference
of such share plus (ii) accumulated and unpaid Regular Dividends, including any Defaulted Regular Dividends thereon, on such share
to, but excluding, the redemption date. If the redemption date is after a record date for a Regular Dividend or Participating Dividend
and on or before the related payment date for such Regular Dividend or Participating Dividend, then the holder of such share will be entitled
to receive such declared Regular Dividend or Participating Dividend on such share. In case of any redemption of only part of the shares
of the Series C Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the shares to be redeemed will be selected pro rata among holders. Except
in the case of a Terminating Holder, the Company will only be permitted to redeem the Series C Preferred Stock if (i) the Common
Stock Liquidity Conditions (as defined below) with respect to such redemption are satisfied; (ii) with respect to any holder that
has delivered a countersigned Warrant Agreement (as defined below), the Company has delivered an executed Warrant Agreement and Warrant
to such holder; (iii) if required, approval of the Company’s stockholders has been obtained as contemplated by The New York
Stock Exchange rules (“Stockholder Approval”) with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants; and (iv) the Company has prepared and filed one or more registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”), with respect to such Warrants and shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.
Each holder of Series C Preferred Stock
will have the right, at its option, to convert its Series C Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock, at
any time. The number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of Series C Preferred Stock will convert at any time will equal
the then-effective conversion rate. The conversion rate of the Series C Preferred Stock will initially be set at 2.32558 shares of
Common Stock, based on an implied conversion price of $43.00 per share of Common Stock. In the event of a “change of control”
where the per share consideration to be paid on the Common Stock (the “Change of Control Price”) is less than the then-effective
conversion price, the conversion rate will be adjusted so that the number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of Series C
Preferred Stock will convert will equal the Liquidation Preference divided by the Change of Control Price. The conversion rate is also
subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, including in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar
events or certain anti-dilutive offerings. The conversion rate may not be adjusted prior to the receipt of Stockholder Approval if such
adjustment would result in a conversion price less than the average closing price for the Common Stock for the five trading days immediately
preceding the signing of the Investment Agreement, adjusted to take into account the commitment fee and reimbursable expenses (the “Stock
Exchange Minimum Price”).
Subject to certain conditions described below,
beginning on the date that is thirty-six months after the last date on which any Series C Preferred Stock is issued pursuant to the
terms of the Investment Agreement, the Company may, at its option, convert the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, in
whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock if, during the 45 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date the Company notifies
holders of the Series C Preferred Stock of the election to convert, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock exceeds
120.0% of the conversion price. The Company will not exercise its right to mandatorily convert shares of Series C Preferred Stock
unless certain liquidity conditions with regard to the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion are satisfied (the “Common
Stock Liquidity Conditions”). The Company may, at its option, convert all of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock
into shares of Common Stock in the event of a “change of control” transaction.
If a Purchaser fails to cure any default of its obligation to purchase
shares of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to any Subsequent Funding Request for a period of 30 calendar days following the date
notice is sent by the Company of the default, such Purchaser, if it still holds shares of Series C Preferred Stock, or any holder
that acquires shares of Series C Preferred Stock directly or indirectly from such Purchaser (such Purchaser or other holder, a “Terminating
Holder”), will have 10 calendar days to elect to convert all of its outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, after which
time such Terminating Holder’s right to submit shares of Series C Preferred Stock for conversion will terminate. In addition,
if such Terminating Holder does not elect to convert its shares of Series C Preferred Stock during such 10-day period, the Company
will then have the option to redeem such Terminating Holder’s shares of Series C Preferred Stock at any time.
Pursuant to the terms of the Articles Supplementary,
unless and until Stockholder Approval is obtained, no shares of Series C Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock
if and to the extent that such conversion would result in the holder beneficially owning in excess of 19.9% of the then-outstanding shares
of Common Stock.
The foregoing description of the Articles
Supplementary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the substantially final form of Articles
Supplementary attached to the Investment Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.
Warrants
Pursuant to the terms of the Articles Supplementary,
if the Company elects to redeem shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the Company will issue a warrant (“Warrant”) to each
holder of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock (other than a Terminating Holder) to be redeemed that executes a Warrant Agreement
with the Company (a form of which is attached as Exhibit C to the Investment Agreement, the “Warrant Agreement”). On
or after the date that is four years after the last date on which any shares of Series C Preferred Stock are issued pursuant to the
terms of the Investment Agreement, the Company may redeem the Series C Preferred Stock in one or more redemptions and deliver one
or more Warrants and Warrant Agreements so long as shares of the Series C Preferred Stock remain outstanding.
Each Warrant will represent a holder’s
right to purchase, at an exercise price equal to the conversion price for the Series C Preferred Stock as of the business day before
the applicable redemption date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate Liquidation Preference of the shares of Series C
Preferred Stock of such holder to be redeemed divided by the conversion price of the Series C Preferred Stock as of the business
day before the applicable redemption date.
Each Warrant will be exercisable by the holder
thereof, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, prior to the fifth anniversary of the issuance of such Warrant. In addition,
each Warrant will be automatically exercised on the fifth anniversary of the issuance of such Warrant or on the date of a recapitalization,
consolidation, merger, sale or other transfer of substantially all assets of the Company and its subsidiaries or similar transaction whose
reference property consists entirely of cash. Upon exercise, the Company will issue to such holder the whole number of shares of Common
Stock purchased plus an amount in cash representing any fractional share of Common Stock otherwise due upon such exercise. Any Warrant
may be exercised by a holder thereof by paying the exercise price in cash or exercised on a cashless basis. Any Warrant that is automatically
exercised will be settled on a cashless basis.
The Warrants will be subject to customary
anti-dilution adjustments from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement.
Holders of Warrants will not have the rights
or privileges of holders of Common Stock until they exercise their Warrants and receive shares of Common Stock.
Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement,
unless and until Stockholder Approval is obtained, no Warrants may be exercised into shares of Common Stock if and to the extent that
(i) such exercise would result in the holder beneficially owning in excess of 19.9% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock
or (ii) after giving effect to such exercise, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise
of any Warrants would exceed 19.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the execution of
the Investment Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Warrant Agreement
and Warrants does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the substantially final form of Warrant
Agreement attached to the Investment Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 hereto.

from the Company to the Purchasers for an initial aggregate Liquidation Preference equal to the Initial Shares Purchase Price, provided

(ii) Neither
the execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, nor the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, nor compliance by the Purchaser with any of the provisions hereof or thereof, will (i) require
notice, consent or approval pursuant to, violate, conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute a default (or
an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the termination of, or accelerate

(b) Any
attempted Transfer in violation of this Section 4.01 shall be null and void ab initio and the Company shall not be required

Section 4.02 Legend.
(a) Each
Purchaser agrees that all certificates or other instruments representing the Shares subject to this Agreement (or the Warrants or the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Shares or the exercise of the Warrants) will bear a legend substantially to
the following effect:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT
HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED,
SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT WHILE A REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING THERETO IS IN EFFECT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS.
THIS SECURITY, THE CONVERSION OF THIS
SECURITY AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS SECURITY ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFER
AS SET FORTH IN THE COMPANY’S CHARTER, AS THE SAME MAY BE IN EFFECT FROM TIME TO TIME, AND THE COMPANY WILL FURNISH A FULL

of customary representations and other documentation reasonably requested by the Company and its transfer agent in connection therewith,

issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Shares. However, in the case of conversion of Shares, the Company shall not
be required to pay any tax or duty that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of Common
Stock or Series C Preferred Stock in a name other than that of the holder of the shares to be converted, and no such issuance or
delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issuance has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or duty,
or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax or duty has been paid.
(b) The
Company and its paying agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold taxes on all payments and distributions (or deemed distributions)

offset any such amounts against any amounts otherwise payable in respect of such share of Series C Preferred Stock, Warrant, or share

the Company for such amounts (and such Person shall promptly so reimburse the Company upon demand).

representatives. All other covenants and agreements of the parties contained herein shall survive the Initial Closing and any Subsequent
Closing, as applicable, in accordance with their terms.

Watkins LLP) for the Purchasers incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, in an aggregate
amount not to exceed $250,000 (the “Expense Reimbursement Amount”); provided, however, that in the event that the Initial

due to the failure of any Purchaser to perform or comply with its obligations under this Agreement), the Company shall pay the reasonable
and documented fees and expenses of counsel for the Purchasers incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated
herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Initial Closing has not occurred by the Initial Closing Deadline as a result
of any Purchaser having invoked the condition set forth in Section 1.03(c)(ix) and such Purchaser's failure to fund the purchase
of the Initial Shares, the Purchasers shall reimburse the Company for the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel for the

Section 5.03 Amendment;
Waiver. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be effective with respect to any party unless made in writing
and signed by an officer of a duly authorized representative of such party. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right,
power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The conditions to each party’s obligation to consummate
the Initial Closing and any Subsequent Closing, as applicable, are for the sole benefit of such party and may be waived by such party
in whole or in part to the extent permitted by applicable Law. No waiver of any party to this Agreement will be effective unless it is
in a writing signed by a duly authorized officer of the waiving party that makes express reference to the provision or provisions subject
to such waiver. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
Section 5.04 Counterparts;
Electronic Transmission. This Agreement, and any amendments hereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of an electronic transmission,
including by a facsimile machine or via email, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and
shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. The words
“execution,” “execute”, “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related
to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation
waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations
on electronic platforms, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability
as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for
in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or any state Laws based on the
Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Neither party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of electronic transmission
by a facsimile machine or via email to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or
communicated through such electronic transmission as a defense to the formation of a contract and each such party forever waives any such
defense. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which will be an original and all of which together shall constitute
one and the same agreement binding on each party hereto.

Section 5.05 Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York, without giving effect
to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the state of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would
cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the state of New York, except where the provisions of the laws of the
State of Maryland are mandatorily applicable. The parties further agree that any proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based
on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or by any matters related to
the foregoing (the “Applicable Matters”), shall be brought exclusively in a state or federal court located in the Borough
of Manhattan, State of New York (the “Chosen Courts”), and each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction
of such Chosen Courts in any such proceeding and irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection
that such Person may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such Chosen Court
or that any such proceeding brought in any such Chosen Court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The parties further covenant not
to bring a proceeding with respect to the Applicable Matters (or that could affect any Applicable Matter) other than in such Chosen Court
and not to challenge or enforce in another jurisdiction a judgment of such Chosen Court. Process in any such proceeding may be served
on any Person with respect to such Applicable Matters anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such Chosen
Court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 5.06 shall
be deemed effective service of process on such Person. AS SPECIFICALLY BARGAINED FOR INDUCEMENT FOR EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO ENTER
INTO THIS AGREEMENT (AFTER HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL), EACH PARTY HERETO EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY

The article, section, paragraph and clause captions herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement
and will not be deemed to limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof.
Section 5.11 Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person (including the officers and directors of the parties hereto)
or circumstance is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof,
or the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable,
will remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby, so long as the economic or legal
substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination,

intent of the parties.

public disclosure without first consulting with the other, and, in each case, also receiving the other’s consent (which shall not
be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and each party shall coordinate with the party whose consent is required with respect
to any such news release or public disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 5.13 shall not apply to any press release
or other public statement made by the Company or a Purchaser (a) which is consistent with prior disclosure (including pursuant to

of posting bond or other undertaking, the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof or an injunction or injunctions

and conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock. Absent manifest error, the entries in the Register will be conclusive and the Corporation
and the Transfer Agent may treat each Person whose name is recorded as a Holder in the Register as a Holder for all purposes. The Register
will be in written form or in any form capable of being converted into written form reasonably promptly. The Corporation will promptly
provide a copy of the Register to any Holder upon its request as soon as reasonably practicable.
(iii) Subsequent
Appointments. By notice to each Holder, the Corporation may, at any time, appoint any Person (including any Subsidiary of the Corporation)
to act as Transfer Agent, Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent.
(f) Legends.
(i) Restricted
Stock Legend.
(1) Each
share of Convertible Preferred Stock that is a Transfer-Restricted Security will be subject to the Restricted Stock Legend in the form
set forth below:
THE OFFER AND SALE OF THIS SECURITY
AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS SECURITY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND THIS SECURITY AND SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED
EXCEPT (A) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT THAT IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT; OR (B) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION
FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.
A-16
(2) If
any share of Convertible Preferred Stock is issued in exchange for, in substitution of, or to effect a partial conversion of, any other
share(s) of Convertible Preferred Stock (such other share(s) being referred to as the “old share(s)” for purposes
of this Section 3(f)(i)(2)), including pursuant to Section 3(g), 3(h) or 3(j), then such share will be subject to the Restricted
Stock Legend if such old share(s) was subject to the Restricted Stock Legend at the time of such exchange or substitution, or on
the related Conversion Date with respect to such conversion, as applicable; provided, however, that such share need not
be subject to the Restricted Stock Legend if such share does not constitute a Transfer-Restricted Security immediately after such exchange
or substitution, or as of such Conversion Date, as applicable.
(ii) Ownership
Limitation Legend. Each share of Convertible Preferred Stock will be subject to the Ownership Limitation Legend in the form set forth
below:
THIS SECURITY, THE EXERCISE OF THIS SECURITY AND
THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS SECURITY ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFER AS SET FORTH
IN THE CORPORATION’S CHARTER.
(iii) Other
Legends. Any share of Convertible Preferred Stock may be subject to any other legend or text, not inconsistent with these Articles
Supplementary, as may be required by applicable law, the rules of any applicable depositary for such Convertible Preferred Stock
or by any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which such Convertible Preferred Stock is traded or quoted or as may be
otherwise reasonably determined by the Corporation to be appropriate.
(iv) Acknowledgement
and Agreement by the Holders. A Holder’s acceptance of any Convertible Preferred Stock that is subject to any legend required
by this Section 3(f) will constitute such Holder’s acknowledgement of, and agreement to comply with, the restrictions
set forth in such legend.
(v) Legends
on Conversion Shares.
(1) Each
Conversion Share will bear a legend substantially to the same effect as the (A) Ownership Limitation Legend and (B) Restricted
Stock Legend if the Convertible Preferred Stock upon the conversion of which such Conversion Share was issued was (or would have been
had it not been converted) a Transfer-Restricted Security at the time such Conversion Share was issued; provided, however,
that such Conversion Share need not bear such a legend if the Corporation determines, in its reasonable discretion, that such Conversion
Share need not bear such a legend.
A-17
(2) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in Section 3(f)(v)(1), a Conversion Share need not bear a legend pursuant to Section 3(f)(v)(1) if
such Conversion Share is issued in an uncertificated form that does not permit affixing legends thereto, provided the Corporation takes
measures (including the assignment thereto of a “restricted” CUSIP number) that it reasonably deems appropriate to
enforce the transfer restrictions referred to in such legend.
(g) Transfers
and Exchanges; Transfer Taxes; Certain Transfer Restrictions.
(i) Provisions
Applicable to All Transfers and Exchanges.
(1) Generally.
Subject to this Section 3(g), Convertible Preferred Stock may be transferred or exchanged from time to time, and the Corporation
will cause each such transfer or exchange to be recorded in the Register; provided, however, that to effect any transfer
or exchange, such Holder must deliver such certificates, documentation or evidence as may be required pursuant to Section 3(g)(i)(7).
(2) Transfer
Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Articles Supplementary, a Holder will not be entitled to transfer
or exchange any share of Convertible Preferred Stock to or for the benefit of any Person, except in compliance with the Charter and the
registration requirements or exemption provisions of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws. For the avoidance of
doubt, there shall be no restrictions on, or consent of the Corporation required for, any transfer or exchange of any share of Convertible
Preferred Stock following the date that is one (1) year after the Initial Issue Date so long as such transfer is in compliance with
this Section 3(g)(i)(2).
(3) No
Services Charge; Transfer Taxes. The Corporation will not impose any service charge on any Holder for any transfer, exchange or conversion
of any Convertible Preferred Stock, but the Corporation may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer, exchange or conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock, other than exchanges
pursuant to Section 3(h) not involving any transfer.
(4) No
Transfers or Exchanges of Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Articles Supplementary, all transfers
or exchanges of Convertible Preferred Stock must be in an amount representing a whole number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock,
and no fractional share of Convertible Preferred Stock may be transferred or exchanged.
(5) Legends.
Each share of Convertible Preferred Stock that is issued upon transfer of, or in exchange for, another share of Convertible Preferred
Stock will be subject to each legend, if any, required by Section 3(f).
A-18
(6) Settlement
of Transfers and Exchanges. Upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth herein to effect a transfer or exchange of any Convertible
Preferred Stock as well as the delivery of all documentation reasonably required by the Transfer Agent or the Corporation in order to
effect any transfer or exchange, the Corporation will cause such transfer or exchange to be effected as soon as reasonably practicable
but in no event later than the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date of such satisfaction.
(7) Requirement
to Deliver Documentation and Other Evidence. If a Holder of any share of Convertible Preferred Stock that is a Transfer-Restricted
Security, or that is subject to an Ownership Limitation Legend or a Restricted Security Legend, requests to register the transfer of such
share to the name of another Person or in exchange for purposes of removing a Restricted Security Legend, then the Corporation, the Transfer
Agent and the Registrar may refuse to effect such transfer or exchange unless there is delivered to the Corporation, the Transfer Agent
and the Registrar such certificates or other documentation or evidence as the Corporation, the Transfer Agent and the Registrar may reasonably
require (including an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, the Transfer Agent and the Registrar to the effect
that such legend is no longer required under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws) to determine that such transfer
complies with the Charter and the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws, as the case may be.
(8) Exchanges
to Remove Transfer Restrictions. For the avoidance of doubt, and subject to the terms of these Articles Supplementary, as used in
this Section 3(g), an “exchange” includes an exchange effected for the sole purpose of removing any Restricted Security
Legend applicable to any share of Convertible Preferred Stock.
(ii) Transfers
of Shares Subject to Redemption or Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Articles Supplementary, the Corporation
will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any share of Convertible Preferred Stock:
(1) that
has been surrendered for conversion or is subject to a Mandatory Conversion or Change of Control Conversion; or
(2) that
has been called for Redemption pursuant to a Redemption Notice, except to the extent that the Corporation fails to pay the related Redemption
Price when due.
(h) Cancellation
of Convertible Preferred Stock to Be Converted or to Be Redeemed Upon a Redemption. If any of a Holder’s shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock are to be converted pursuant to Section 10 or redeemed pursuant to a Redemption, then, promptly after the time such
Convertible Preferred Stock is deemed to cease to be outstanding pursuant to Section 3(n), (A) the book-entry positions representing
such shares will be cancelled on the Register pursuant to Section 3(l); and (B) in the case of a partial conversion or redemption,
the Corporation will register on the Register, in accordance with Section 3(c), in the name of such Holder, the remaining shares
of Convertible Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares not so converted or redeemed, as applicable, which shares (x) will each
represent a whole number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock; (y) will be registered in the name of such Holder; and (z) will
be subject to each legend, if any, required by Section 3(f).
A-19
(i) Status
of Retired Shares. Upon any share of Convertible Preferred Stock ceasing to be outstanding, such share will return to the status of
an authorized and unissued share of Preferred Stock without designation as to series or class.
(j) [Reserved].
(k) Registered
Holders. Only the Holder of any Convertible Preferred Stock will have rights under these Articles Supplementary as the owner of such
Convertible Preferred Stock.
(l) Cancellation.
The Corporation may at any time deliver Convertible Preferred Stock to the Transfer Agent for cancellation. The Corporation will cause
the Transfer Agent to promptly cancel all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock so surrendered to it in accordance with its customary
procedures.
(m) Shares
Held by the Corporation or its Affiliates. Without limiting the generality of Section 3(n), in determining whether the Holders
of the required number of outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock (and, if applicable, Voting Parity Stock) have concurred in
any direction, waiver or consent, shares of Convertible Preferred Stock owned by the Corporation’s Subsidiaries will be deemed not
to be outstanding.
(n) Outstanding
Shares.
(i) Generally.
The shares of Convertible Preferred Stock that are outstanding at any time will be deemed to be those shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock that, at such time, have been duly registered in the name of the applicable Holder on the Register maintained by the Transfer Agent,
excluding those shares of Convertible Preferred Stock that have theretofore been (1) cancelled by the Transfer Agent or delivered
to the Transfer Agent for cancellation in accordance with Section 3(l); (2) paid in full upon their conversion or upon their
redemption pursuant to a Redemption in accordance with these Articles Supplementary; or (3) deemed to cease to be outstanding to
the extent provided in, and subject to, clause (ii) or (iv) of this Section 3(n).
(ii) Shares
to Be Redeemed Pursuant to a Redemption. If, on a Redemption Date, the Corporation has segregated, solely for the benefit of the applicable
Holders, consideration in kind and amount that is sufficient to pay the aggregate Redemption Price due on such date, then (unless there
occurs a default in the payment of the Redemption Price) (1) the Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such date will, as
of such date, cease to be outstanding; (2) Regular Dividends will cease to accumulate on such Convertible Preferred Stock from and
after such Redemption Date; and (3) the rights of the Holders of such Convertible Preferred Stock, as such, will terminate with respect
to such Convertible Preferred Stock, other than the right to receive the Redemption Price as provided in Section 7 (and, if applicable,
declared Participating Dividends as provided in Section 5(c)).
A-20
(iii) [Reserved].
(iv) Shares
to Be Converted. If any Convertible Preferred Stock is to be converted, then, at the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for
such conversion (unless there occurs a default in the delivery of the Conversion Consideration due pursuant to Section 10 upon such
conversion): (1) such Convertible Preferred Stock will cease to be outstanding; (2) Regular Dividends will cease to accumulate
on such Convertible Preferred Stock from and after such Conversion Date; and (3) the rights of the Holders of such Convertible Preferred
Stock, as such, will terminate with respect to such Convertible Preferred Stock, other than the right to receive such Conversion Consideration
as provided in Section 10 and, if applicable, Section 16 (and, if applicable, declared Participating Dividends as provided in
Section 5(c)).
Section 4. Ranking.
The Convertible Preferred Stock will rank (a) senior to (i) Dividend Junior Stock with respect to the payment of dividends
and (ii) Liquidation Junior Stock with respect to the distribution of assets upon the Corporation’s liquidation, dissolution
or winding up; (b) on parity with (i) Dividend Parity Stock with respect to the payment of dividends; and (ii) Liquidation
Parity Stock with respect to the distribution of assets upon the Corporation’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up; and (c) junior
to (i) Dividend Senior Stock with respect to the payment of dividends; and (ii) Liquidation Senior Stock with respect to the
distribution of assets upon the Corporation’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up.
Section 5. Dividends.
(a) Regular
Dividends.
(i) Accumulation
and Payment of Regular Dividends. Outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock will accumulate cumulative dividends (calculated
in accordance with Section 5(a)(ii)) at a rate per annum equal to the Regular Dividend Rate on the Liquidation Preference thereof
(and, to the extent described in the third sentence of this Section 5(a)(i), on unpaid Regular Dividends and any compounded Defaulted
Regular Dividends (as defined below) thereon), regardless of whether or not declared or funds are legally available for their payment
(such dividends that accumulate on the Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this sentence, “Regular Dividends”).
Subject to the other provisions of this Section 5, such Regular Dividends will be payable, if, as and when authorized by the Board
of Directors, to the extent not prohibited by law, quarterly in arrears on each Regular Dividend Payment Date, to the Holders as of the
Close of Business on the immediately preceding Regular Dividend Record Date. If any accumulated Regular Dividends (or any portion thereof)
on the Convertible Preferred Stock are not authorized and paid on the applicable Regular Dividend Payment Date (or, if such Regular Dividend
Payment Date is not a Business Day, the next Business Day), then additional Regular Dividends (“Defaulted Regular Dividends”)
will accumulate on the amount of any such unpaid Regular Dividends, compounded quarterly at the Regular Dividend Rate, from, and including,
such Regular Dividend Payment Date to, but excluding, the date such Regular Dividends, including all Defaulted Regular Dividends thereon,
are paid in full. Regular Dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock will accumulate from, and including, the last date to which Regular
Dividends have been paid on any share of Convertible Preferred Stock (or, if no Regular Dividends have been paid on such share of Convertible
Preferred Stock, from, and including, the initial issue date for such share) to, but excluding, the next Regular Dividend Payment Date
(such period, the “Regular Dividend Period”).
A-21
(ii) Computation
of Accumulated Regular Dividends. The amount of Regular Dividends payable in respect of any share of Convertible Preferred Stock for
any period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. For each day on which Regular Dividends
accumulate on any share of Convertible Preferred Stock, such Regular Dividends will accumulate based on the Regular Dividend Rate in effect
as of immediately before the Close of Business on such day.
(iii) Payment
in Cash. Each Regular Dividend will be payable solely in cash.
(iv) Priority
of the Application of Regular Dividend Payments to Arrearages. Each payment of declared Regular Dividends on the Convertible Preferred
Stock will be applied to the earliest Regular Dividend Period for which Regular Dividends have not yet been paid.
(b) Participating
Dividends.
(i) Generally.
Subject to Section 5(b)(ii), no dividend on the Common Stock or OP Units (whether in cash, securities or other property, or any combination
of the foregoing) will be declared or paid unless, at the time of such declaration and payment, an equivalent dividend is declared and
paid, respectively, on the Convertible Preferred Stock (such a dividend on the Convertible Preferred Stock, a “Participating
Dividend,” and such corresponding dividend on the Common Stock or the OP Units, as applicable, the “Related Participating
Dividend”), such that (1) the Record Date and the payment date for such Participating Dividend occur on the same dates
as the Record Date and payment date, respectively, for such Related Participating Dividend; and (2) the kind and amount of consideration
payable per share of Convertible Preferred Stock in such Participating Dividend is the same kind and amount of consideration that would
be payable in the Related Participating Dividend and, (A) in a Related Participating Dividend on the Common Stock, in respect of
a number of shares of Common Stock, equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable (determined in accordance with
Section 10 but without regard to Section 10(e)(ii) and Section 10(h)) in respect of one (1) share of Convertible
Preferred Stock that is converted with a Conversion Date occurring on such Record Date (such number of shares of Common Stock issuable,
the “As-Converted Common Shares”), or (B) in a Related Participating Dividend on the OP Units that is not also
declared and paid as a Related Participating Dividend by the Corporation to Holders pursuant to clause (A) above (it being agreed
that a Related Participating Dividend declared and paid by the Corporation in shares of Common Stock shall be the equivalent of a Related
Participating Dividend declared and paid by the Operating Partnership in OP Units), in respect of a number of OP Units, assuming the Convertible
Preferred Stock were convertible into OP Units, the conversion of which into Common Stock would equal the As-Converted Common Shares (in
each case of (A) and (B), subject to the same arrangements, if any, in such Related Participating Dividend not to issue or deliver
a fractional portion of any security or other property, but with such arrangement applying separately to each Holder and computed based
on the total number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock held by such Holder on such Record Date). The Corporation will provide notice
to Holders of each Participating Dividend, including the related Record Date and payment date, at substantially the same time at which,
and in substantially the same manner in which, the Corporation provides the related notice(s) to holders of the Common Stock or OP
Units, as applicable, in connection with the corresponding Related Participating Dividend. Notwithstanding anything in these Articles
Supplementary to the contrary, Section 5(b)(i) will not apply to, and no Participating Dividend will be required to be declared
or paid in respect of, (i) a Common Stock Change Event or an event for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is provided pursuant
to Section 10(f), as to which Section 10(i) or Section 10(f), respectively, will apply or (ii) rights issued
pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, so long as such rights have not separated from the Common Stock and are not exercisable until the
occurrence of a triggering event, except that Section 5(b)(i) will apply to, and a Participating Dividend will be required in
respect of (A) the separation of such rights from the Common Stock (whether upon the occurrence of such triggering event or otherwise);
and (B) any payment made by the Corporation (whether in cash, securities or other property, or any combination of the foregoing)
to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock Common Stock to redeem or repurchase any such rights.
A-22
(ii) Dividend
Threshold. Section 5(b)(i) will not apply to, and no Participating Dividend will be required to be declared or paid in respect
of, a regular monthly cash dividend (A) on the Common Stock that does not exceed an amount per share equal to the product of (x) 0.8
and (y) the Core Funds From Operations Per Share (the “Common Stock Dividend Threshold”); and (B) on the
OP Units that does not exceed an amount per unit equal to the regular monthly cash dividend on the Common Stock during the same calendar
month (the “OP Units Dividend Threshold”); provided, however, that for any regular monthly cash dividend
that exceeds the Common Stock Dividend Threshold or the OP Unit Dividend Threshold, as applicable, Holders of the Convertible Preferred
Stock will only receive cash in an amount equal to the excess of such regular monthly cash dividend over the Common Stock Dividend Threshold
or the OP Units Dividend Threshold, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation will have no obligation to pay a Participating
Dividend on a regular monthly cash dividend declared and paid on the Common Stock unless the Corporation has increased the amount of the
cash dividend per share and such increase results in the cash dividend exceeding the Common Stock Dividend Threshold. For future monthly
periods after such an increase, the Corporation will have the obligation to pay a Participating Dividend if the future monthly cash dividend
exceeds the Common Stock Dividend Threshold until there is a monthly period in which the cash dividend does not exceed the Common Stock
Dividend Threshold.
(c) Treatment
of Dividends Upon Conversion or Upon a Redemption. If the Redemption Date or Conversion Date of any share of Convertible Preferred
Stock is after a Record Date for a declared Participating Dividend on the Convertible Preferred Stock and on or before the related Dividend
Payment Date, then the Holder of such share at the Close of Business on such Record Date will be entitled, notwithstanding the related
Redemption or Conversion, as applicable, to receive, on or, at the Corporation’s election, before such Dividend Payment Date, such
declared Participating Dividend on such share.
A-23
Except as provided in Section 7(e) or
Section 10(d)(iii)(2), Regular Dividends on any share of Convertible Preferred Stock will cease to accumulate from and after any
Redemption Date or Conversion Date, as applicable, for such share, unless the Corporation defaults in the payment of the related Redemption
Price or Conversion Consideration, as applicable.
(d) Priority
of Dividends; Limitation on Junior Payments.
(i) Construction.
For purposes of Sections 5(d)(ii) and 5(d)(iii), a Regular Dividend on the Convertible Preferred Stock will be deemed to have
been paid if such Regular Dividend is declared and consideration in kind and amount that is sufficient, in accordance with the Charter,
to pay such Regular Dividend is set aside for the benefit of the Holders entitled thereto.
(ii) Limitation
on Dividends on Parity Stock. If:
(1) less
than all accumulated and unpaid Regular Dividends (plus Defaulted Regular Dividends thereon) on the outstanding Convertible Preferred
Stock for all prior completed Regular Dividend Periods have been declared and paid as of any Regular Dividend Payment Date; or
(2) the
Board of Directors declares a Regular Dividend on the Convertible Preferred Stock that is less than the total amount of unpaid Regular
Dividends (plus Defaulted Regular Dividends thereon) on the outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock that would accumulate to, but excluding,
the Regular Dividend Payment Date following such declaration,
then, until and unless all accumulated
and unpaid Regular Dividends (plus Defaulted Regular Dividends thereon) on the outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock for all prior completed
Regular Dividend Periods have been paid, no dividends may be declared or paid on any class or series of Dividend Parity Stock unless Regular
Dividends are simultaneously declared on the Convertible Preferred Stock on a pro rata basis, such that (A) the ratio of (x) the
dollar amount of Regular Dividends so declared per share of Convertible Preferred Stock to (y) the dollar amount of the total accumulated
and unpaid Regular Dividends (plus Defaulted Regular Dividends thereon) per share of Convertible Preferred Stock immediately before the
payment of such Regular Dividend is no less than (B) the ratio of (x) the dollar amount of dividends so declared or paid per
share of such class or series of Dividend Parity Stock to (y) the dollar amount of the total accumulated and unpaid dividends per
share of such class or series of Dividend Parity Stock immediately before the payment of such dividend (which dollar amount in this clause
(y) will, if dividends on such class or series of Dividend Parity Stock are not cumulative, be the full amount of dividends per share
thereof in respect of the most recent dividend period thereof).
(iii) Limitation
on Certain Payments. Subject to the next sentence, if any Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding, then no dividends (whether in
cash, securities or other property, or any combination of the foregoing) will be declared or paid on any Junior Stock or on the OP Units,
and neither the Corporation nor any of its Subsidiaries will purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for value (whether in cash, securities
or other property, or any combination of the foregoing) any Junior Stock or OP Units, in each case unless all accumulated Regular Dividends
(plus any Defaulted Regular Dividends thereon) on the Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding for all prior completed Regular Dividend
Periods, if any, have been paid in full. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, the restrictions set forth
in the preceding sentence will not apply to the following:
(1) dividends
on Junior Stock or OP Units that are payable solely in shares of Junior Stock or OP Units or rights to purchase shares of Junior Stock
or OP Units, together with cash in lieu of any fractional share;
A-24
(2) purchases,
redemptions or other acquisitions of Junior Stock in connection with any benefit or other incentive plan of the Corporation (including
any employment contract) in the ordinary course of business, including (x) the forfeiture of unvested shares of restricted stock,
or any withholdings (including withholdings effected by a repurchase or similar transaction), or other surrender, of shares that would
otherwise be deliverable upon exercise, delivery or vesting of equity awards under any such plan or contract, in each case whether for
payment of applicable taxes or the exercise price, or otherwise; (y) cash paid in connection therewith in lieu of issuing any fractional
share; and (z) purchases of Junior Stock pursuant to a publicly announced repurchase plan to offset the dilution resulting from issuances
pursuant to any such plan or contract;
(3) purchases,
or other payments in lieu of the issuance, of any fractional share of Junior Stock in connection with the conversion, exercise or exchange
of such Junior Stock or of any securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Junior Stock;
(4) (x) dividends
of Junior Stock or rights to acquire Junior Stock, pursuant to a stockholder rights plan; and (y) the redemption or repurchase of
such rights pursuant to such stockholder rights plan;
(5) the
exchange, conversion or reclassification of Junior Stock solely for or into other Junior Stock, together with the payment, in connection
therewith, of cash in lieu of any fractional share; and
(6) redemptions
or exchanges of OP Units in accordance with the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership.
For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5(d)(iii) will
not prohibit or restrict the payment or other acquisition for value of any debt securities that are convertible into, or exchangeable
for, any Junior Stock.
A-25
Section 6. Rights
Upon Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.
(a) Generally.
If the Corporation liquidates, dissolves or winds up, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, then, subject to the rights of any of the
Corporation’s creditors or holders of any Liquidation Senior Stock, each share of Convertible Preferred Stock will entitle the Holder
thereof to receive payment for the greater of the amounts set forth in clause (i) and (ii) below out of the Corporation’s
assets or funds legally available for distribution to the Corporation’s stockholders, before any such assets or funds are distributed
to, or set aside for the benefit of, any Liquidation Junior Stock:
(i) the
sum of:
(1) the
Liquidation Preference per share of Convertible Preferred Stock; and
(2) all
unpaid Regular Dividends (plus Defaulted Regular Dividends thereon, if any) that will have accumulated on such share to, but excluding,
the date of such payment; and
(ii) the
amount such Holder would have received in respect of the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon conversion of such
share of Convertible Preferred Stock in connection with an Optional Conversion assuming the Conversion Date of such conversion occurs
on the date of such payment.
Upon payment of such amount
set forth in this Section 6(a) in full on the outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock, Holders of the Convertible Preferred
Stock will have no rights to the Corporation’s remaining assets or funds, if any. If such assets or funds are insufficient to fully
pay such amount on all outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable in respect of all outstanding
shares of Liquidation Parity Stock, if any, then, subject to the rights of any of the Corporation’s creditors or holders of any
outstanding Liquidation Senior Stock, such assets or funds will be distributed ratably on the outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock and Liquidation Parity Stock in proportion to the full respective distributions to which such shares would otherwise be entitled.
(b) Certain
Business Combination Transactions Deemed Not to Be a Liquidation. For purposes of Section 6(a), the Corporation’s consolidation
or combination with, or merger with or into, or the sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s
assets (other than a sale, lease or other transfer in connection with the Corporation’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up)
to, another Person will not, in itself, constitute the Corporation’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, even if, in connection
therewith, the Convertible Preferred Stock is converted into, or is exchanged for, or represents solely the right to receive, other securities,
cash or other property, or any combination of the foregoing.
(c) Liquidation
Preference Calculation. In determining whether a distribution (other than upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation), by dividend,
redemption or other acquisition of Capital Stock or otherwise, is permitted under Maryland law, no effect shall be given to amounts that
would be needed, if the Corporation were to be dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution
of Holders of Convertible Preferred Stock whose preferential rights upon dissolution are superior to those receiving the distribution.
A-26
Section 7. Right
of the Corporation to Redeem the Convertible Preferred Stock.
(a) No
Right to Redeem Before the Redemption Trigger Date. The Corporation may not redeem the Convertible Preferred Stock at any time before
the Redemption Trigger Date; provided, however, if, during the ten (10) calendar days after any Termination Event Date
of a Terminating Holder, any such Terminating Holder delivers an Optional Conversion Notice representing all its shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock, the Corporation will have no right to redeem such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock.
(b) Right
to Redeem the Convertible Preferred Stock on or After Redemption Trigger Date. Subject to the terms of this Section 7, the Corporation
has the right, at its election, to redeem all outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, or any Authorized Denomination (unless
such election is after any Termination Event Date of a Terminating Holder, in which case, the Corporation may redeem any or all outstanding
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock held by such Termination Holders), at any time, on a Redemption Date on or after the Redemption
Trigger Date, for a cash purchase price equal to the Redemption Price.
(c) Redemption
Prohibited in Certain Circumstances. The Corporation will not call for Redemption, or otherwise send a Redemption Notice in respect
of the Redemption of, any Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 7 unless (i) the Corporation has sufficient funds
legally available; and (ii) except in the case of a Redemption of a Terminating Holder’s shares of Convertible Preferred Stock
after the Termination Event Date applicable to such Terminating Holder, (w) the Common Stock Liquidity Conditions are satisfied with
respect to such Redemption; (x) with respect to any Holder that has delivered a countersigned Warrant Agreement, the Corporation
has delivered an executed Warrant Agreement and Warrant to such Holder, with such Warrant expiring five (5) years after the applicable
Redemption Date and providing for the right of such Holder to purchase, at a Strike Price (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) equal
to the Conversion Price as of the Business Day before the Redemption Date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate Liquidation
Preference of the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock of such Holder to be redeemed divided by the Conversion Price as of the Business
Day before the Redemption Date; (y) if required, the Requisite Stockholder Approval has been obtained with respect to the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon Exercise of such Warrants; and (z) the Corporation has prepared and filed one or more registration
statements under the Securities Act with respect to such Warrants and any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrants.
(d) Redemption
Date. The Redemption Date for any Redemption will be a Business Day of the Corporation’s choosing that is no more than sixty
(60) calendar days, nor less than thirty (30) calendar days (or fifteen (15) calendar days, in the case of any Redemption of a Terminating
Holder’s shares of Convertible Preferred Stock after the Termination Event Date applicable to such Terminating Holder), after the
Redemption Notice Date for such Redemption.
(e) Redemption
Price. The Redemption Price for any share of Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed pursuant to a Redemption is an amount in cash
equal to (i) the Liquidation Preference of such share plus (ii) accumulated and unpaid Regular Dividends (plus Defaulted Regular
Dividends thereon, if any) on such share to, but excluding, the Redemption Date for such Redemption; provided, however,
that if such Redemption Date is after a Regular Dividend Record Date for a declared Regular Dividend on the Convertible Preferred Stock
and on or before the next Regular Dividend Payment Date, then pursuant to Section 5(c), the Holder of such share at the Close of
Business on such Regular Dividend Record Date will be entitled, notwithstanding such Redemption, to receive such declared Regular Dividend
on such share; provided, the amount of such Regular Dividend will not be included in the amount referred to in clause (ii) above.
A-27
(f) Redemption
Notice. To call any share of Convertible Preferred Stock for Redemption, the Corporation must send to the Holder of such share a notice
of such Redemption (a “Redemption Notice”). Such Redemption Notice must state:
(i) that
such share has been called for Redemption;
(ii) the
Redemption Date for such Redemption;
(iii) the
Redemption Price per share of Convertible Preferred Stock;
(iv) if
the Redemption Date is after a Record Date for a declared Dividend on the Convertible Preferred Stock and on or before the related Dividend
Payment Date, that such Dividend will be paid in accordance with Section 5(c) and, if applicable, the proviso to Section 7(e);
(v) except
in the case of a Redemption of a Terminating Holder’s shares of Convertible Preferred Stock after the Termination Event Date
applicable to such Terminating Holder, that Convertible Preferred Stock called for Redemption may be converted at any time before
the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately before the Redemption Date (or, if the Corporation fails to pay the Redemption
Price due on such Redemption Date in full, at any time until such time as the Corporation pays such Redemption Price in full)
(vi) except
in the case of a Redemption of a Terminating Holder’s shares of Convertible Preferred Stock after the Termination Event Date applicable
to such Terminating Holder, the aggregate number of Warrants to be issued pursuant to Section 7(c); and
(vii) the
Conversion Rate in effect on the Redemption Notice Date for such Redemption.
(g) Selection
and Conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock Subject to Partial Redemption. If less than all shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock then outstanding are called for Redemption, then:
(i) the
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be subject to such Redemption will be selected by the Corporation pro rata; and
(ii) except
in the case of a Redemption of a Terminating Holder’s shares of Convertible Preferred Stock after the Termination Event Date applicable
to such Terminating Holder, if only a portion of the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock held by a Holder are called for Redemption
and such Holder converts a portion of its shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, then the converted portion of such Holder’s shares
of Convertible Preferred Stock will be deemed to be from the portion of such Holder’s shares of Convertible Preferred Stock that
was called for Redemption.
A-28
(h) Payment
of the Redemption Price. The Corporation will cause the Redemption Price for each share of Convertible Preferred Stock subject to
Redemption to be paid to the Holder thereof on or before the applicable Redemption Date. For the avoidance of doubt, Regular Dividends
payable pursuant to the proviso to Section 7(e) on any share of Convertible Preferred Stock subject to Redemption will be paid
pursuant to such proviso and Section 5(c).
(i) Limitation
on Redemption Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Articles Supplementary, unless and until the Requisite Stockholder
Approval is obtained, no shares of Convertible Preferred Stock will be redeemed or redeemable, in each case to the extent that, the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Warrants issuable in connection therewith would require the Corporation to obtain
the Requisite Stockholder Approval.
Section 8. [Reserved].
Section 9. Voting
Rights. The Convertible Preferred Stock will have no voting rights except as set forth in this Section 9.
(a) Voting
and Consent Rights with Respect to Specified Matters.
(i) Generally.
Subject to the other provisions of this Section 9(a), while any Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding, each following event
will require, and cannot be effected without, the affirmative vote or consent of either (i) Holders and holders of each class or
series of Voting Parity Stock, if any, voting together as a single class, representing at least a majority of the combined outstanding
voting power of the Convertible Preferred Stock and such Voting Parity Stock, if any, provided that until such time as the Maewyn
Holders first beneficially owns (determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) less than 5.0% of the Common Stock
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock or the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, as
applicable, held by the Maewyn Holders) on a fully diluted basis, such majority must include the Maewyn Holders, or (ii) the Maewyn
Holders:
(1) (x) any
amendment or modification of the Charter to authorize or create, or to increase the authorized number of shares of, any class or series
of Dividend Parity Stock, Liquidation Parity Stock, Dividend Senior Stock or Liquidation Senior Stock or (y) the authorization, creation
or issuance of structurally senior equity, other than (A) Series C Convertible Preferred Units issued by the Operating Partnership
to the Corporation in connection with the issuance of Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the Investment Agreement and (B) OP
Units, by Subsidiaries of the Corporation existing as of the Initial Issue Date, as applicable;
A-29
(2) any
amendment, modification or repeal of any provision of the Charter, including the terms of these Articles Supplementary, that materially
and adversely affects the special rights, preferences or voting powers of the Convertible Preferred Stock (other than an amendment, modification
or repeal permitted by Section 9(a)(iii)); or
(3) the
Corporation’s consolidation or combination with, or merger with or into, another Person, or any binding or statutory share exchange
or reclassification involving the Convertible Preferred Stock, in each case unless:
(A) the
Convertible Preferred Stock either (x) remains outstanding after such consolidation, combination, merger, share exchange or reclassification;
or (y) is converted or reclassified into, or is exchanged for, or represents solely the right to receive, preference securities of
the continuing, resulting or surviving Person of such consolidation, combination, merger, share exchange or reclassification, or the parent
thereof;
(B) the
Convertible Preferred Stock that remains outstanding or such preference securities, as applicable, have rights, preferences and voting
powers that, taken as a whole, are not materially less favorable (as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith) to the Holders
or the holders thereof, as applicable, than the rights, preferences and voting powers, taken as a whole, of the Convertible Preferred
Stock immediately before the consummation of such consolidation, combination, merger, share exchange or reclassification; and
(C) the
issuer of the Convertible Preferred Stock that remains outstanding or such preference securities, as applicable, is a corporation or other
entity duly organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia;
provided,
however, that (x) a consolidation, combination, merger, share exchange or reclassification that satisfies the requirements
of clauses (A), (B) and (C) of Section 9(a)(i)(3) will not require any vote or consent pursuant to Section 9(a)(i)(1) or
9(a)(i)(2); and (y) each of the following will be deemed not to adversely affect the rights, preferences or voting powers of the
Convertible Preferred Stock (or cause any of the rights, preferences or voting powers of any such preference securities to be “materially
less favorable” for purposes of Section 9(a)(i)(3)(B)) and will not require any vote or consent pursuant to Section 9(a)(i)(1),
9(a)(i)(2) or 9(a)(i)(3):
(I) any
increase in the number of the authorized but unissued shares of the Corporation’s undesignated preferred stock;
(II) the
creation and issuance, or increase in the authorized or issued number, of any class or series of stock that constitutes both Dividend
Junior Stock and Liquidation Junior Stock; and
A-30
(III) the
application of Section 10(i), including the execution and delivery of any supplemental instruments pursuant to Section 10(i)(iii) solely
to give effect to such provision.
(ii) Where
Some But Not All Classes or Series of Stock Are Adversely Affected. If any event set forth in Section 9(a)(i) would
adversely affect the rights, preferences or voting powers of one or more, but not all, classes or series of Voting Parity Stock (which
term, solely for purposes of this sentence, includes the Convertible Preferred Stock), then those classes or series whose rights, preferences
or voting powers would not be materially and adversely affected will be deemed not to have voting or consent rights with respect to such
event. Furthermore, an amendment, modification or repeal described in Section 9(a)(i)(2) above that materially and adversely
affects the special rights, preferences or voting powers of the Convertible Preferred Stock cannot be effected without the affirmative
vote or consent of Holders, voting separately as a class, of at least a majority of the Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding and
entitled to vote.
(iii) Certain
Amendments Permitted Without Consent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9(a)(i)(2), the Corporation may amend,
modify or repeal any of the terms of the Convertible Preferred Stock without the vote or consent of any Holder to:
(1) cure
any ambiguity or correct any omission, defect or inconsistency in these Articles Supplementary or the terms of the Convertible Preferred
Stock; or
(2) make
any other change to the Charter that does not, individually or in the aggregate with all other such changes, adversely affect the rights
of any Holder (other than any Holders that have consented to such change), as such, in any material respect (as determined by the Board
of Directors in good faith).
(iv) Holders
of the Convertible Preferred Stock have the exclusive right to vote on any amendment to the Charter on which the holders of Convertible
Preferred Stock are otherwise entitled to vote and that would alter only the rights, as expressly set forth in the Charter, of the Convertible
Preferred Stock, and provided further, that no holders of any other class or series of stock shall be entitled to vote on any amendments
to the Charter that would alter only the rights, as expressly set forth in the Charter, of the Convertible Preferred Stock.
(b) Procedures
for Voting and Consents.
(i) Rules and
Procedures Governing Votes and Consents. If any vote or consent of the Holders will be held or solicited, including at a regular annual
meeting or a special meeting of stockholders, then the Board of Directors will adopt customary rules and procedures at its discretion
to govern such vote or consent, subject to the other provisions of this Section 9.
A-31
(ii) Voting
Power of the Convertible Preferred Stock and Voting Parity Stock. Each share of Convertible Preferred Stock will be entitled to one
vote on each matter on which the Holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to vote separately as a class and not together
with the holders of any other class or series of stock. The respective voting powers of the Convertible Preferred Stock and all classes
or series of Voting Parity Stock entitled to vote on any matter together as a single class will be determined (including for purposes
of determining whether a plurality, majority or other applicable portion of votes has been obtained) in proportion to their respective
liquidation amounts. Solely for purposes of the preceding sentence, the liquidation amount of the Convertible Preferred Stock or any such
class or series of Voting Parity Stock will be the maximum amount payable in respect of the Convertible Preferred Stock or such class
or series, as applicable, assuming the Corporation is liquidated on the record date for the applicable vote or consent (or, if there is
no record date, on the date of such vote or consent).
(iii) Written
Consent in Lieu of Stockholder Meeting. A consent or affirmative vote of the Holders required by Section 9(a) may be given
or obtained either in writing without a meeting or in person or by proxy at a regular annual meeting or a special meeting of stockholders.
Section 10. Conversion.
(a) Generally.
Subject to the provisions of this Section 10, the Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted only pursuant to a Mandatory Conversion,
a Change of Control Conversion or an Optional Conversion.
(b) Conversion
at the Option of the Holders.
(i) Conversion
Right; When Shares May Be Submitted for Optional Conversion. Subject to the provisions of this Section 10, Holders will
have the right to submit all outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, or any Authorized Denomination, for Optional Conversion
at any time; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Articles Supplementary and in addition
to any other requirements for Optional Conversion of such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock,
(1) subject
to Section 10(b)(i)(5), except in a Change of Control, on or after any Termination Event Date of a Terminating Holder, such Terminating
Holder will have ten (10) calendar days after the applicable Termination Event Date to submit all of its outstanding shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock for Optional Conversion, after which time the right of such Terminating Holder to submit shares of its Convertible Preferred
Stock for Optional Conversion will terminate;
(2) [reserved];
(3) shares
of Convertible Preferred Stock that are called for Redemption pursuant to Section 7(b) may not be submitted for Optional Conversion
after the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately before the related Redemption Date (or, if the Corporation fails to pay the
Redemption Price due on such Redemption Date in full, at any time until such time as the Corporation pays such Redemption Price in full);
A-32
(4) shares
of Convertible Preferred Stock that are subject to Mandatory Conversion or Change of Control Conversion may not be submitted for Optional
Conversion after the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately before the Mandatory Conversion Date or the Change of Control Conversion
Date; and
(5) any
Holder, including a Terminating Holder, may submit shares of Convertible Preferred Stock for Optional Conversion in the event of a Change
of Control.
(ii) Conversions
of Fractional Shares Not Permitted. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Articles Supplementary, in no event will any
Holder be entitled to convert a number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock that is not a whole number.
(c) Conversion
at the Corporation’s Election.
(i) Mandatory
Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of this Section 10, the Corporation has the right (the “Mandatory Conversion
Right”), exercisable at its election, to designate any Business Day that is thirty-six (36) months after the last date on which
any Convertible Preferred Stock is issued pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement as a Conversion Date for the conversion (such
a conversion, a “Mandatory Conversion”) of all outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, or any Authorized
Denomination, but only if the Daily VWAP exceeds 120.0% of the Conversion Price on each of the forty-five (45) consecutive VWAP Trading
Days ending on, and including, the VWAP Trading Day immediately before the Corporation Conversion Notice Date for such Mandatory Conversion.
(ii) Change
of Control Conversion Right. The Corporation has the right (the “Change of Control Conversion Right”), exercisable
at its election, to designate the Business Day (the “Change of Control Conversion Date”) immediately preceding the
effective date of a Change of Control as a Conversion Date for the conversion (such a conversion, a “Change of Control Conversion”)
of all outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock.
(iii) Mandatory
Conversion Prohibited in Certain Circumstances. The Corporation will not exercise its Mandatory Conversion Right, or otherwise send
a Corporation Conversion Notice for any Mandatory Conversion, with respect to any Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 10(c) unless
the Common Stock Liquidity Conditions are satisfied with respect to the Mandatory Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Section 10(c), the Corporation will not exercise its Mandatory Conversion Right, or otherwise send a Corporation Conversion
Notice for any Mandatory Conversion, with respect to any Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 10(c) during the
period from, and including, the date the Corporation has sent a Redemption Notice in respect of the Redemption of any Convertible Preferred
Stock pursuant to Section 7 to, and including, the related Redemption Date (or, if later, the date when such Redemption is settled).
A-33
(iv) Mandatory
Conversion Date. The Mandatory Conversion Date for any Mandatory Conversion will be a Business Day of the Corporation’s choosing
that is no more than fifteen (15), nor less than ten (10), Business Days after the Corporation Conversion Notice Date for such Mandatory
Conversion.
(v) Corporation
Conversion Notice. To exercise its Mandatory Conversion Right or its Change of Control Conversion Right with respect to any shares
of Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation must send to each Holder of such shares a written notice of such exercise (a “Corporation
Conversion Notice”).
Such Corporation Conversion Notice must
state:
(1) that
the Corporation has exercised its Mandatory Conversion Right or Change of Control Conversion Right, as applicable, to cause the Mandatory
Conversion or the Change of Control Conversion, as applicable, of the shares;
(2) the
Mandatory Conversion Date or the Change of Control Conversion Date, as applicable, for such Mandatory Conversion or Change of Control
Conversion, as applicable, and the date scheduled for the settlement of such Mandatory Conversion or Change of Control Conversion, as
applicable;
(3) that
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock subject to Mandatory Conversion or Change of Control Conversion, as applicable, may be converted
earlier at the option of the Holders thereof pursuant to an Optional Conversion at any time before the Close of Business on the Business
Day immediately before the Mandatory Conversion Date or the Change of Control Conversion Date, as applicable; and
(4) the
Conversion Price and the Conversion Rate in effect on the Corporation Conversion Notice Date for such Mandatory Conversion or Change of
Control Conversion, as applicable, and the Change of Control Conversion Price, as applicable.
(vi) Selection
and Conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock Subject to Partial Mandatory Conversions. If less than all shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock then outstanding are subject to Mandatory Conversion, then the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be subject to such Mandatory
Conversion will be selected by the Corporation pro rata.
(d) Conversion
Procedures.
(i) Mandatory
Conversion or Change of Control Conversion. If the Corporation duly exercises, in accordance with Section 10(c), its Mandatory
Conversion Right or its Change of Control Conversion Right with respect to any share of Convertible Preferred Stock, then (1) the
Mandatory Conversion or Change of Control Conversion, as applicable, of such share will occur automatically and without the need for any
action on the part of the Holder(s) thereof; and (2) the shares of Common Stock due upon such Mandatory Conversion or Change
of Control Conversion, as applicable, will be registered in the name of, and, if applicable, the cash due upon such Mandatory Conversion
or Change of Control Conversion, as applicable, will be delivered to, the Holder(s) of such share of Convertible Preferred Stock
as of the Close of Business on the related Mandatory Conversion Date or Change of Control Conversion Date, as applicable.
A-34
(ii) Requirements
for Holders to Exercise Optional Conversion Right.
(1) Generally.
To convert any share of Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to an Optional Conversion, the Holder of such share must (x) complete,
manually sign and deliver to the Conversion Agent a Conversion Notice (at which time, the conversion will become irrevocable); (y) furnish
any endorsements and transfer documents that the Corporation or the Conversion Agent may require; and (z) if applicable, pay any
documentary or other taxes pursuant to Section 11(b).
(2) Optional
Conversion Permitted only During Business Hours. Convertible Preferred Stock may be surrendered for Optional Conversion only after
the Open of Business and before the Close of Business on a day that is a Business Day.
(iii) Treatment
of Accumulated Regular Dividends Upon Conversion.
(1) No
Adjustments for Accumulated Regular Dividends. The Conversion Rate will not be adjusted to account for any accumulated and unpaid
Regular Dividends (including any Defaulted Regular Dividends thereon) on any Convertible Preferred Stock being converted.
(2) Conversions
Between A Record Date and a Dividend Payment Date. If the Conversion Date of any share of Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted
is after a Record Date for a declared Regular Dividend on the Convertible Preferred Stock and on or before the related Dividend Payment
Date, then such Regular Dividend will be paid notwithstanding such conversion.
(iv) When
Holders Become Stockholders of Record of the Shares of Common Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Person in whose name any share of
Common Stock is issuable upon conversion of any Convertible Preferred Stock will become the holder of record of such share as of the Close
of Business on the Conversion Date for such conversion.
(e) Settlement
upon Conversion.
(i) Generally.
Subject to Section 10(e)(ii), Section 10(h) and Section 14(b), the consideration due upon settlement of the conversion
of each share of Convertible Preferred Stock will consist of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect
immediately before the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for such conversion; provided, in the case of an Optional Conversion
in the event of a Change of Control or a Change of Control Conversion where the Change of Control Conversion Price is less than the Conversion
Price, the Conversion Rate will equal the number of shares equal to the Liquidation Preference per share of Convertible Preferred Stock
divided by the Change of Control Conversion Price.
A-35
(ii) Payment
of Cash in Lieu of any Fractional Share of Common Stock. Subject to Section 14(b), in lieu of delivering any fractional share
of Common Stock otherwise due upon conversion of any Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation will, to the extent it is legally able
to do so, pay cash based on the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Conversion Date for such conversion (or, if
such Conversion Date is not a Trading Day, the immediately preceding Trading Day).
(iii) Delivery
of Conversion Consideration. The Corporation will pay or deliver, as applicable, the Conversion Consideration due upon conversion
of any Convertible Preferred Stock on or before the second (2nd) Business Day immediately after the Conversion Date for such conversion.
(f) Conversion
Rate Adjustments.
(i) Events
Requiring an Adjustment to the Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate will be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(1) Stock
Dividends, Splits and Combinations. If the Corporation issues solely shares of Common Stock as a dividend on all or substantially
all shares of the Common Stock, or if the Corporation effects a stock split or a stock combination of the Common Stock (in each case excluding
an issuance solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 10(i) will apply), then the Conversion Rate
will be adjusted based on the following formula:
where:
CR0
= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend, or immediately before the
Close of Business on the effective date of such stock split or stock combination, as applicable;
CR1
= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on such Record Date or effective date, as applicable;
OS0
= the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Close of Business on such Record Date or effective date, as
applicable, without giving effect to such dividend, stock split or stock combination; and
OS1
= the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, stock split or stock combination.
A-36
If any dividend, stock split or stock
combination of the type described in this Section 10(f)(i)(1) is declared or announced, but not so paid or made, then the Conversion
Rate will be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or to effect such stock split
or stock combination, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had such dividend, stock split or stock combination not been
declared or announced.
(2) Degressive
Issuances. Subject to Section 10(h), if, on or after the Initial Issue Date, the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries issues
or otherwise sells any shares of Common Stock, or any Equity-Linked Securities, in each case at an Effective Price per share of Common
Stock that is less than the Conversion Price in effect (before giving effect to the adjustment required by this Section 10(f)(i)(2))
as of the date of the issuance or sale of such shares or Equity-Linked Securities (such an issuance or sale, a “Degressive Issuance”),
then, effective as of the Close of Business on such date, the Conversion Rate will be increased to an amount equal to (x) the Liquidation
Preference per share of Convertible Preferred Stock, divided by (y) the Weighted Average Issuance Price. For these purposes, the
“Weighted Average Issuance Price” will be equal to:
where:
CP = the Conversion
Price in effect immediately before giving effect to the adjustment required by this Section 10(f)(i)(2);
OS = the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such Degressive Issuance;
EP = the Effective
Price per share of Common Stock in such Degressive Issuance; provided, however, that if such Degressive Issuance involves
the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock or Equity-Linked Securities at differing Effective Prices, then EP will be calculated as
the weighted-average of such Effective Prices, with each such Effective Price being weighted by the number of shares of Common Stock issued
or sold at such Effective Price in such Degressive Issuance or the maximum number of shares of Common Stock underlying such Equity-Linked
Securities issued or sold at such Effective Price in such Degressive Issuance, as applicable; and
X = the sum, without
duplication, of (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock issued or sold in such Degressive Issuance; and (y) the maximum
number of shares of Common Stock underlying such Equity-Linked Securities issued or sold in such Degressive Issuance;
provided, however, that
(A) the Conversion Rate will not be adjusted pursuant to this Section 10(f)(i)(2) as a result of an Exempt Issuance; (B) the
issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such Equity-Linked Securities will not constitute an additional issuance or sale of
shares of Common Stock for purposes of this Section 10(f)(i)(2) (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that the issuance
or sale of such Equity-Linked Securities, or any re-pricing or amendment thereof, will be subject to this Section 10(f)(i)(2)); and
(C) in no event will the Conversion Rate be decreased pursuant to this Section 10(f)(i)(2). For purposes of this Section 10(f)(i)(2),
any re-pricing or amendment of any Equity-Linked Securities (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Equity-Linked Securities existing
as of the Initial Issue Date) will be deemed to be the issuance of additional Equity-Linked Securities, without affecting any prior adjustments
theretofore made to the Conversion Rate.
A-37
(ii) No
Other Required Adjustments. The Corporation will not be required to adjust the Conversion Rate except pursuant to Section 10(f)(i).
(iii) Determination
of the Number of Outstanding Shares of Common Stock. For purposes of Section 10(f)(i), the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
at any time will include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.
(iv) Calculations.
All calculations with respect to the Conversion Rate and adjustments thereto will be made to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share of Common
Stock (with 5/100,000ths rounded upward).
(v) Notice
of Conversion Rate Adjustments. Upon the effectiveness of any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 10(f)(i),
the Corporation will promptly send notice to the Holders containing (1) a brief description of the transaction or other event on
account of which such adjustment was made; (2) the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after such adjustment; and (3) the
effective time of such adjustment.
(g) Voluntary
Conversion Rate Increases.
(i) Generally.
To the extent permitted by law and applicable stock exchange rules, the Corporation, from time to time, may (but is not required to) increase
the Conversion Rate by any amount if (1) the Board of Directors determines that such increase is in the Corporation’s best
interest or that such increase is advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax imposed on holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase
Common Stock as a result of any dividend of shares (or rights to acquire shares) of Common Stock or any similar event; (2) such increase
is in effect for a period of at least twenty (20) Business Days; and (3) such increase is irrevocable during such period.
(ii) Notice
of Voluntary Increase. If the Board of Directors determines to increase the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 10(g)(i), then,
no later than the first Business Day of the related twenty (20) Business Day period referred to in Section 10(g)(i), the Corporation
will send notice to each Holder of such increase to the Conversion Rate, the amount thereof and the period during which such increase
will be in effect.
A-38
(h) Restriction
on Conversions and Adjustments for Degressive Issuances.1
(i) Limitation
on Conversion Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Articles Supplementary, unless and until the Requisite Stockholder
Approval is obtained, no shares of Common Stock will be issued or delivered upon conversion of any Convertible Preferred Stock of any
Holder, and no Convertible Preferred Stock of any Holder will be convertible, in each case to the extent, that such issuance, delivery,
conversion or convertibility would result in such Holder or a “person” or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of
the Exchange Act) that includes such Holder, beneficially owning in excess of nineteen and nine tenths percent (19.9%) of the then-outstanding
shares of Common Stock (the restrictions set forth in this sentence, the “NYSE Ownership Limitation”).
For the purposes of this Section 10(h)(i),
beneficial ownership and calculations of percentage ownership will be determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange
Act. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations on the convertibility of any Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 10(h)(i) will
not, in themselves, cause such Convertible Preferred Stock to cease to be outstanding (and Regular Dividends will continue to accumulate
on any portion of such Convertible Preferred Stock that has been tendered for conversion and whose convertibility is suspended pursuant
to this Section 10(h)(i)), and such limitations will cease to apply if and when such Convertible Preferred Stock’s convertibility
and conversion will not violate this Section 10(h)(i).
Any purported delivery of shares of
Common Stock upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock will be void and have no effect to the extent, but only to the extent,
that such delivery would contravene the NYSE Ownership Limitation. For the avoidance of doubt, a Holder may effect an Optional Conversion,
and the Corporation may, upon exercise of its Mandatory Conversion Right, force conversion of, a portion of such Holder’s Convertible
Preferred Stock up to the NYSE Ownership Limitation, subject to the other requirements of the Convertible Preferred Stock applicable to
such Optional Conversion or Mandatory Conversion, as applicable.
If any Conversion Consideration otherwise
due upon the conversion of any Convertible Preferred Stock is not delivered as a result of the NYSE Ownership Limitation, then the Corporation’s
obligation to deliver such Conversion Consideration will not be extinguished, and the Corporation will deliver such Conversion Consideration
as soon as reasonably practicable after the date the Requisite Stockholder Approval is obtained.
(ii) Limitation
of Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Articles Supplementary, unless and until the Requisite Stockholder
Approval is obtained, no adjustment will be made to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 10(e)(i), Section 10(f)(i)(2) or
Section 10(g)(i) to the extent, but only to the extent, such adjustment would cause the Conversion Price to be less than the
Stock Exchange Minimum Price. For the avoidance of doubt, in determining whether any adjustment would cause the Conversion Price to be
less than the Stock Exchange Minimum Price, the Corporation shall take into account the net consideration received by the Corporation
after deducting any Commitment Fee and Expense Reimbursement Amount payable pursuant to the Investment Agreement. If the Requisite Stockholder
Approval is obtained at any time after any adjustment to the Conversion Rate is limited pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 10(h)(ii),
then, effective as of the time such Requisite Stockholder Approval is obtained, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted to the Conversion
Rate that would then be in effect assuming that the first sentence of this Section 10(h)(ii) had not applied to any prior adjustment
to the Conversion Rate.
1 Note to Draft: Language subject to NYSE review.
A-39
(iii) Covenant
to Seek the Requisite Stockholder Approval. The Corporation will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Requisite Stockholder
Approval by seeking such approval, if not previously obtained, at each future regular annual meeting of its stockholders and recommending
its approval in the related proxy materials. The Corporation will promptly notify the Holders if the Requisite Stockholder Approval is
obtained.
(i) Effect
of Common Stock Change Event.
(i) Generally.
If there occurs any:
(1) recapitalization,
reclassification or change of the Common Stock, other than (x) changes solely resulting from a subdivision or combination of the
Common Stock, (y) a change only in par value or from par value to no par value or no par value to par value or (z) stock splits
and stock combinations that do not involve the issuance of any other series or class of securities;
(2) consolidation,
merger, combination or binding or statutory share exchange involving the Corporation;
(3) sale,
lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Person;
or
(4) other
similar event,
and, as a result of which, the Common
Stock is converted into, or is exchanged for, or represents solely the right to receive, other securities, cash or other property, or
any combination of the foregoing (such an event, a “Common Stock Change Event,” and such other securities, cash or
property, the “Reference Property,” and the amount and kind of Reference Property that a holder of one (1) share
of Common Stock would be entitled to receive on account of such Common Stock Change Event (without giving effect to any arrangement not
to issue or deliver a fractional portion of any security or other property), a “Reference Property Unit”), then, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in these Articles Supplementary,
(A) from
and after the effective time of such Common Stock Change Event, (I) the consideration due upon conversion of any Convertible Preferred
Stock will be determined in the same manner as if each reference to any number of shares of Common Stock in this Section 10 or in
Section 11, or in any related definitions, were instead a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; (II) for
purposes of Section 10(c), each reference to any number of shares of Common Stock in such Section (or in any related definitions)
will instead be deemed to be a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; (III) for purposes of the definition of
“Change of Control,” the terms “Common Stock” and “common equity” will be deemed
to mean the common equity (including depositary receipts representing common equity), if any, forming part of such Reference Property;
and (IV) the right of Holders to receive Participating Dividends pursuant to Section 5(b) will apply to dividends of the
type referred to in Section 5(b) on the common equity (including depositary receipts representing common equity), if any, forming
part of such Reference Property; and
A-40
(B) for
these purposes, the Last Reported Sale Price of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist of a class of securities
will be the fair value of such Reference Property Unit or portion thereof, as applicable, determined in good faith by the Corporation
(or, in the case of cash denominated in U.S. dollars, the face amount thereof).
If the Reference Property consists of
more than a single type of consideration to be determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election, then the composition of
the Reference Property Unit will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received, per
share of Common Stock, by the holders of Common Stock. The Corporation will notify the Holders of such weighted average as soon as practicable
after such determination is made.
(ii) Execution
of Supplemental Instruments. On or before the date the Common Stock Change Event becomes effective, the Corporation and, if applicable,
the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if not the Corporation) of such Common Stock Change Event (the “Successor Person”)
will execute and deliver such supplemental instruments, if any, as the Corporation reasonably determines are necessary or desirable to
(1) provide for subsequent adjustments to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 10(f)(i) in a manner consistent with
this Section 10(i); and (2) give effect to such other provisions, if any, as the Corporation reasonably determines are appropriate
to preserve the economic interests of the Holders and to give effect to Section 10(i)(i). If the Reference Property includes shares
of stock or other securities or assets of a Person other than the Successor Person, then such other Person will also execute such supplemental
instrument(s) and such supplemental instrument(s) will contain such additional provisions, if any, that the Corporation reasonably
determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of Holders.
(iii) Notice
of Common Stock Change Event. The Corporation will provide notice of each Common Stock Change Event to Holders no later than the effective
date of the Common Stock Change Event.
Section 11. Certain
Provisions Relating to the Issuance of Common Stock.
(a) Equitable
Adjustments to Prices. Whenever the Corporation is required to calculate the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices, or any function
thereof, over a period of multiple days (including to calculate an adjustment to the Conversion Rate), the Corporation will make appropriate
adjustments, if any, to those calculations to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 10(f)(i) that
becomes effective, or any event requiring such an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Record Date or effective date, as applicable,
of such event occurs, at any time during such period.
A-41
(b) Reservation
of Shares of Common Stock. The Corporation will reserve, out of its authorized, unreserved and unissued shares of Common Stock, for
delivery upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock that would be sufficient to settle the
conversion of all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding, if any.
(c) Status
of Shares of Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock of any Holder will
be a newly issued and will be duly and validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable, free from preemptive rights and free of any lien or
adverse claim (except to the extent of any lien or adverse claim created by the action or inaction of such Holder or the Person to whom
such share of Common Stock will be delivered). If the Common Stock is then listed on any securities exchange, or quoted on any inter-dealer
quotation system, then the Corporation will cause each such share of Common Stock, when so delivered, to be admitted for listing on such
exchange or quotation on such system.
(d) Taxes
Upon Issuance of Common Stock. The Corporation will pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or duty due on the
issue of any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock of any Holder, except any tax or duty that is due
because such Holder requests those shares to be registered in a name other than such Holder’s name. However, the Corporation shall
not be required to pay any transfer tax that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery (or any transfer involved in the issue
or delivery) of such Common Stock to a beneficial owner other than the beneficial owner of the Convertible Preferred Stock immediately
prior to the conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting
such issue or delivery has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such transfer tax or has established to the satisfaction of the Corporation
that such transfer tax has been paid or is not payable.
Section 12. No
Preemptive Rights. No holder of Convertible Preferred Stock will, as a holder of Convertible Preferred Stock, have any preemptive
rights to subscribe for or purchase any of the Corporation’s securities.
Section 13. Tax
Treatment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Articles Supplementary, for U.S. federal and other applicable
state and local income tax purposes, it is intended that: (a) the Convertible Preferred Stock shall be treated as equity and not
debt; (b) the Convertible Preferred Stock will not be treated as “preferred stock” within the meaning of Section 305(b)(4) of
Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.305-5(a); (c) no Holder will be required to include in income any amounts in respect
of the Convertible Preferred Stock by operation of Section 305(b) or (c) of the Code unless and until dividends are paid
in cash; and (d) no Holder will be required to include in income any amounts as a result of the conversion of the Convertible Preferred
Stock directly into Common Stock (other than payment of consideration pursuant to Section 10(e)(ii)). The Corporation will, and will
cause its Subsidiaries and agents to, report consistently with, and take no positions or actions inconsistent with, the foregoing treatment
(including by way of withholding) unless otherwise required by a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the
Code. The Corporation will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Subsidiaries to, issue any securities or otherwise take any action
that could reasonably be expected to affect the treatment described in Section 13.
A-42
Section 14. Calculations.
(a) Responsibility;
Schedule of Calculations. Except as otherwise provided in these Articles Supplementary, the Corporation will be responsible for making
all calculations called for under these Articles Supplementary or the Convertible Preferred Stock, including determinations of the Conversion
Rate, the Last Reported Sale Prices and accumulated Regular Dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock. The Corporation will make all
calculations in good faith, and, absent manifest error, its calculations will be final and binding on all Holders. The Corporation will
provide a schedule of such calculations to any Holder upon written request.
(b) Calculations
Aggregated for Each Holder. The composition of the Conversion Consideration due upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock
of any Holder will be computed based on the total number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock of such Holder being converted with
the same Conversion Date. For these purposes, any cash amounts due to such Holder in respect thereof will be rounded to the nearest cent.
Section 15. Notices.
The Corporation will send all notices or communications to Holders pursuant to these Articles Supplementary in writing and delivered personally,
by facsimile or e-mail (with confirmation of receipt from the recipient, in the case of e-mail), or sent by a nationally recognized overnight
courier service to the Holders’ respective addresses shown on the Register. Notwithstanding anything in these Articles Supplementary
to the contrary, any defect in the delivery of any such notice or communication will not impair or affect the validity of such notice
or communication and the failure to give any such notice or communication to all the Holders will not impair or affect the validity of
such notice or communication to whom such notice is sent.
Section 16. Legally
Available Funds. Without limiting the rights of any Holder (including pursuant to Section 6), if the Corporation does
not have sufficient funds legally available to fully pay any cash amount otherwise due on the Convertible Preferred Stock, then the Corporation
will pay the deficiency promptly after funds thereafter become legally available therefor.
Section 17. No
Other Rights. The Convertible Preferred Stock will have no rights, preferences or voting powers except as provided in the Charter
or as required by applicable law.
Section 18. Restrictions
On Ownership And Transfer. The Convertible Preferred Stock shall be subject to the restrictions on ownership and transfer set
forth in Article VII of the Charter. The ownership of Convertible Preferred Stock, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
the conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock and the ownership of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred
Stock is subject to the restrictions on ownership and transfer of the Corporation’s Capital Stock contained in the Charter, including
that no Convertible Preferred Stock may be owned to the extent that it would result in the Holder of such Convertible Preferred Stock
or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Convertible Preferred Stock or any other Person (as defined in the Charter) Beneficially
Owning or Constructively Owning (each, as defined in the Charter) shares of Capital Stock in excess of 9.8%, in value or number of shares,
whichever is more restrictive, of outstanding shares of any class or series of Capital Stock of the Corporation, unless such Holder is
an Excepted Holder (as defined in the Charter), in which case, such Excepted Holder may not Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares
of Capital Stock, including the Convertible Preferred Stock and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred
Stock in excess of such Excepted Holder’s Excepted Holder Limit (as defined in the Charter).

REGISTRATION
Section 7.01 Resale
Shelf Registration Rights.
(a) Registration
Statement Covering Resale of Registrable Securities. The Company shall prepare and file one or more Registration Statements with the Commission,
(i) with respect to the Registrable Securities consisting of (A) Warrants and (B) any shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise of issued and outstanding Warrants, on each Redemption Date on which such Warrants are issued, and (ii) with respect
to the Registrable Securities consisting of the Series C Preferred Stock and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of issued and outstanding shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, not later than ten (10) Business Days after the earlier
of (i) the date on which the shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock representing the full Commitment Amount (as defined
in the Investment Agreement) have been sold pursuant to the Investment Agreement and (ii) the Subsequent Closing Deadline (as defined
in the Investment Agreement), in each case of (A) and (B), for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415
of the Securities Act or any successor thereto registering the resale from time to time by Holders of all of the respective Registrable
Securities held by the Holders (collectively, the “Resale Shelf Registration Statements”). The Company shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the Resale Shelf Registration Statements to become effective as promptly as practicable and not later than
ninety (90) days following the filing thereof. The Resale Shelf Registration Statements shall be on Form S-3 (or, if Form S-3
is not available to be used by the Company at such time, on Form S-11 or another appropriate form permitting Registration of such
Registrable Securities for resale) and such Resale Shelf Registration Statements shall, upon request of a Holder or Maewyn Limited Partner,
cover resales of the applicable Registrable Securities of such Holder or Maewyn Limited Partners. The Company’s obligations to include
the Registrable Securities held by a Holder or Maewyn Limited Partner in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement are contingent upon such
Holder or Maewyn Limited Partner furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding the Holder or Maewyn Limited Partner,
the securities of the Company held by the Holder or Maewyn Limited Partner and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities
as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the Registration of the Registrable Securities, and the Holder or Maewyn Limited
Partner, as the case may be, shall execute such documents in connection with such Registration as the Company may reasonably request that
are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations. Once effective, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statements and Prospectus included therein continuously effective and to be supplemented and amended
to the extent necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, to ensure that another Registration
Statement is available, under the Securities Act at all times until the earliest of (1) the date on which all Registrable Securities
and other securities covered by such Registration Statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution
set forth in such Registration Statement and (2) the date on which all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such
Registration Statement have ceased to be Registrable Securities. The Registration Statement filed with the Commission pursuant to this
Section 7.01(a) shall contain a Prospectus in such form as to permit any Holder or Maewyn Limited Partner to sell such Registrable
Securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission then in
effect) at any time beginning on the effective date for such Registration Statement, and shall provide that such Registrable Securities
may be sold pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, Holders. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Company be permitted to name any Holder or Maewyn Limited Partner, or affiliate
of a Holder or Maewyn Limited Partner, as an “underwriter” in the Registration Statement without the prior written consent
of such Holder or Maewyn Limited Partner.
B-7
(b) Notification
and Distribution of Materials. The Company shall notify the Holders and Maewyn Limited Partners in writing of the effectiveness of the
Resale Shelf Registration Statement as soon as practicable, and in any event within five (5) Business Days after the Resale Shelf
Registration Statement becomes effective, and shall furnish to them, without charge, such number of copies of the Resale Shelf Registration
Statement (including any amendments, supplements and exhibits), the Prospectus contained therein (including each preliminary Prospectus
and all related amendments and supplements) and any documents incorporated by reference in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or
such other documents as the Holders or Maewyn Limited Partners may reasonably request in order to facilitate the sale of the Registrable
Securities in the manner described in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement (to the extent that any of such documents is not available
on EDGAR).
(c) Amendments
and Supplements. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01(a) above, the Company shall as soon as reasonably practicable prepare
and file with the Commission from time to time such amendments and supplements to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus
used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions
of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all the Registrable Securities. If any Resale Shelf Registration Statement filed
pursuant to Section 7.01 is filed on Form S-3 and thereafter the Company becomes ineligible to use Form S-3 for secondary
sales, the Company shall promptly notify the Holders and Maewyn Limited Partners of such ineligibility and use its commercially reasonable
efforts to file a shelf registration on an appropriate form as soon as reasonably practicable to replace the shelf registration statement
on Form S-3 and have such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable and
to cause such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement to remain effective, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary
to ensure that such Resale Shelf Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another Resale Shelf Registration Statement
is available, for the resale of all the Registrable Securities held by the Holders and Maewyn Limited Partners until all such Registrable
Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities; provided, however, that at any time the Company once again becomes eligible
to use Form S-3, the Company shall cause such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be amended, or shall file a new
replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement, such that the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is once again on Form S-3.
B-8
(d) Certain
Undertakings. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall cause (i) each Resale Shelf
Registration Statement (as of the effective date of such Resale Shelf Registration Statement), any amendment thereof (as of the effective
date thereof) or supplement thereto (as of its date), (A) to comply in all material respects with applicable SEC Guidance and (B) not
to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order
to make the statements therein not misleading, and (ii) any related Prospectus (including any preliminary Prospectus) or Issuer Free
Writing Prospectus and any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, as of its date, (A) to comply in all material respects with applicable
SEC Guidance and (B) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided,
however, the Company shall have no such obligations or liabilities with respect to any written information pertaining to any Holder and
furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein. The Company agrees, to the extent
necessary, to supplement or make amendments to each Resale Shelf Registration Statement if required by the registration form used by the
Company for the applicable Registration or by SEC Guidance.
(e) Underwritten
Shelf Takedown. At any time and from time to time after a Resale Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 has been declared effective
by the Commission, any of the Holders may request to sell all or any portion of the Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering
that is registered pursuant to such Resale Shelf Registration Statement (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”). All
requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to the Company, which shall specify the approximate number
of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Promptly upon receiving such notice (but no later than
10 days after receipt of such notice), the Company shall notify all of the Holders of Registrable Securities regarding the potential Underwritten
Shelf Takedown. The Company shall, subject to Section 2.1(f), include in any Underwritten Shelf Takedown the securities requested
to be included by any Holder (each a “Takedown Requesting Holder”) within five (5) days of receipt of notice of
such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Shelf
Takedown under this Section 2.1(e) shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected
for such Underwritten Offering by the Company, with the consent of the Holder who initiated the Underwritten Shelf Takedown.
(f) Reduction
of Underwritten Shelf Takedown. If the managing Underwriter(s) in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, in good faith, advise the Company
or the Takedown Requesting Holders in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Takedown Requesting
Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of the Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to
sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown without
adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such
maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then
the Company shall include in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, as follows: (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Takedown
Requesting Holders who initiated the Underwritten Shelf Takedown, on a pro rata basis, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum
Number of Securities; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause
(i), the Registrable Securities of any other Holder who wish to participate in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, on a pro rata basis,
that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities
has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires
to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

(g) Obligations
of the Company in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown. If at any time the Company is required to effect an Underwritten Offering, the Company
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such Registration to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance
with the intended plan of distribution thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible:
(i) permit
a representative of the Holders, the Underwriter(s), if any, and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriter(s) to
participate, at each such Person’s own expense, in the preparation of the Registration Statement, and cause the Company’s
officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter(s), attorney

a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release or disclosure of any such
information;
(ii) obtain
a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten
Registration, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters as the
managing Underwriter(s) may reasonably request;
(iii) on
the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an opinion, dated such date, of counsel
representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the Underwriter(s), if any, covering such legal matters with
respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the Underwriter(s) may reasonably request and as are
customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters; provided, however, that counsel for the Company shall not be
required to provide any opinions with respect to any Holder;
(iv) in
the event of any Underwritten Offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary
form, with the managing Underwriter(s) of such offering; provided that such underwriting agreement shall not require the Company
or any of its directors and officers to be locked up for any period of time following the date of the underwriting agreement;
(v) make
available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12)
months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement
which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated
thereafter by the Commission); and
B-10
(vi) in
connection with an Underwritten Offering, cause its senior management, officers, employees and independent public accountants (in the
case of the independent public accountants, subject to any applicable accounting guidance regarding their participation in the offering
or the due diligence process) to participate in, make themselves available, supply such information as may reasonably be requested and
to otherwise facilitate and cooperate with the preparation of the Registration Statement and Prospectus and any amendments or supplements
thereto (including participating in due diligence sessions) taking into account the Company’s reasonable business needs.
Section 7.02 Piggyback
Registration.
(a) Right
to Piggyback on Primary Offerings. If the Company proposes to file a Piggyback Underwritten Offering Filing under the Securities Act with
respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity
securities, for its own account, other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other
benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing securityholders, (iii) on
Form S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto),
(iv) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company, (v) for a dividend reinvestment plan
or (vi) pursuant to a sale of Common Stock by the Company through an “at-the-market” program or an equity line of credit,
then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed offering to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable
but no later than seven (7) days prior to the initial filing date of such Piggyback Underwritten Offering Filing, which notice shall
(A) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and
the name of the proposed managing Underwriter(s), if any, in such offering, and (B) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities
the opportunity to register the sale of the lesser of, on an aggregate basis: (x) a number of Registrable Securities expected to
generate gross proceeds in such offering of $25.0 million and (y) a number of Registrable Securities equal to twenty-five percent
(25%) of the maximum aggregate offering size (the “Piggyback Underwritten Offering Participation Limit”) as
such Holders may request in writing within three (3) days after receipt of such written notice (such Registration, a “Piggyback
Underwritten Offering”). The Piggyback Underwritten Offering Participation Limit shall be calculated by the Company in good
faith and shall be set forth in the notice to Holders. The number of Registrable Securities each Holder will be entitled to sell under
the Piggyback Underwritten Offering Participation Limit will be determined on a pro rata basis, based on the number of Registrable
Securities that each participating Holder has requested to be included in the Piggyback Underwritten Offering. The Company shall, in good
faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering and shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause the managing Underwriter(s) of such offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant
to this subsection 7.02(a) to be included in a Piggyback Underwritten Offering on the same
terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such Registration and to permit the sale or other disposition
of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All such Holders proposing to distribute
their Registrable Securities through a Piggyback Underwritten Offering under this subsection 7.02(a) shall enter into an underwriting
agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Piggyback Underwritten Offering by the Company, and shall otherwise
comply with Section 2.5 as a condition to participating in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Section 2.2, the Registrable Securities that may be included in any Piggyback Underwritten Offering shall be limited to securities
of the same class or type as the securities being offered by the Company in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering; provided that, for the
avoidance of doubt, if the Company is conducting a Piggyback Underwritten Offering of shares of Common Stock, Holders shall not be entitled
to include shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock as Registrable Securities in such offering unless such shares have first
been converted into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Articles Supplementary.
B-11
(b) Holder
Withdrawal Right. Each Holder shall have the right to withdraw its request for inclusion of its Registrable Securities in any Piggyback
Underwritten Offering at any time prior to the execution of an underwriting agreement with respect thereto by giving written notice to
the Company, following which such Holder shall no longer be entitled to participate in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering.
(c) Company
Termination or Delay Right. If at any time after giving written notice of a proposed Piggyback Underwritten Offering pursuant to this
Section 7.02 and prior to the execution of an underwriting agreement with respect thereto, the Company shall determine for any reason
not to proceed with or to delay such Piggyback Underwritten Offering, the Company shall give written notice of such determination to the
Holders that have elected to participate in such offering (which such Holders agree they shall hold in strict confidence) and (i) in
the case of a determination not to proceed, shall be relieved of its obligation to include any Registrable Securities in such Piggyback
Underwritten Offering (but not from any obligation of the Company to pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith), and (ii) in
the case of a determination to delay, shall be permitted to delay inclusion of any Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay
in including the shares of Common Stock to be sold for the Company’s account.
Section 7.03 General
Procedures. If at any time the Company is required to effect the Registration of Registrable Securities, the Company shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to effect such Registration to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended
plan of distribution thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible:
(a) prior
to filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the Underwriters,
if any, and the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration, and such Holders’ legal counsel, copies of such
Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case including all
exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each
preliminary Prospectus), and such other documents as the Underwriters and the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration
or the legal counsel for any such Holders and keep such Holders reasonably informed as to the registration process;
B-12
(b) prior
to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable
Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United
States as the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution)
may reasonably request and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement
to be registered with or approved by such other Governmental Authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations
of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holders of Registrable Securities
included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions of the United
States; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to (A) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where
it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subsection 7.03(b), or (B) take any action to subject the Company
to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then otherwise so subject; provided that, the Company
shall not be required to register or qualify the Registrable Securities in any jurisdiction if such registration or qualification would
be unduly burdensome, impractical, or if an required exemption is otherwise available;
(c) cause
all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities issued
by the Company are then listed;
(d) advise
each seller of such Registrable Securities, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any
stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding
for such purpose and promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal
if such stop order should be issued;
(e) advise
each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof, of the
time when such Registration Statement has been declared effective (which may be satisfied by the issuance of a press release by the Company);
(f) notify
the Holders at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act,
of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes
a Misstatement, and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 2.6 hereof;
(g) use
reasonable best efforts to obtain a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants
in the event of an Underwritten Offering, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort”
letters as the managing Underwriter(s) may reasonably request;
(h) on
the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, use reasonable best efforts to obtain an opinion,
dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the Underwriter(s), if any, covering
such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the Underwriter(s) may reasonably
request and as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters; provided, however, that counsel for the Company
shall not be required to provide any opinions with respect to any Holder;
B-13
(i) in
the event of any Underwritten Offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary
form, with the managing Underwriter(s) of such offering; provided that such underwriting agreement shall not require the Company
or any of its directors and officers to be locked up for any period of time following the date of the underwriting agreement;
(j) make
available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12)
months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement
which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated
thereafter by the Commission);
(k) in
connection with an Underwritten Offering, cause its senior management, officers, employees and independent public accountants (in the
case of the independent public accountants, subject to any applicable accounting guidance regarding their participation in the offering
or the due diligence process) to participate in, make themselves available, supply such information as may reasonably be requested and
to otherwise facilitate and cooperate with the preparation of the Registration Statement and Prospectus and any amendments or supplements
thereto (including participating in due diligence sessions) taking into account the Company’s reasonable business needs; and
(l) otherwise,
in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders, to facilitate
the registration and disposition of Registrable Securities.
Section 7.04 Registration
Expenses. All Registration Expenses shall be borne by the Company.
Section 7.05 Requirements
for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. No Holder may participate in any Underwritten Offering
unless such Holder (i) agrees to sell such Holder’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved
by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements,
underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.
Section 7.06 Suspension
of Sales; Adverse Disclosure.
(a) The
Company shall promptly notify each of the Holders in writing if a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement and, upon
receipt of such written notice from the Company, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities
until he, she or it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed or has received copies of a supplemented
or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement, provided that the Company hereby covenants to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare
and file any required supplement or amendment correcting any Misstatement promptly after the time of such notice and, if necessary, to
request the immediate effectiveness thereof.
B-14
(b) If
the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement or Prospectus included in any Registration Statement at
any time (i) would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, (ii) would require the inclusion in such Registration
Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, (iii) would,
if not delayed or suspended, materially adversely interfere with, or jeopardize the success of, any pending or proposed material transaction,
including any material debt or equity financing, any material acquisition or disposition, any material recapitalization or reorganization
or any other material transaction or (iv) in the good faith judgment of the Board, would materially adversely affect the Company,
the Company shall have the right to defer the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of any Registration Statement pursuant to
(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) for a period of not more than sixty (60) consecutive days; provided, that the Company shall not defer
any such filing, initial effectiveness or use of a Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 7.06 for more than two times or
for more than a total of 120 days (in each case counting deferrals initiated pursuant to (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) in the aggregate)
in any 12-month period.
Section 7.07 Limitations
on Registration Rights. The Company shall not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities which is inconsistent
with or violates the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement and in the event of any conflict between
any such agreement or agreements and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.
Section 7.08 Indemnification.
(a) The
Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and agents
and each Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
expenses (including attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration
Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are
caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company shall
indemnify the Underwriter(s), their officers and directors and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) such
Underwriter(s) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Holder.
(b) In
connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to
the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration
Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each
Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) the Company against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses
(including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the
Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue
statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided,
however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the
liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder
from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify
the Underwriter(s), their officers, directors and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) such Underwriter(s) to
the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.
B-15
(c) Any
Person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect
to which it seeks indemnification (provided, however, that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any Person’s right
to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in
such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment upon written advice of its counsel a conflict of interest between such indemnified
and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. The indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement
made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying
party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more
than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment
of any indemnified party upon written advice of its counsel a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other
of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent
to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money
is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional
term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim
or litigation.
(d) The
indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on
behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer
of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions
as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution (pursuant to Section 2.8(c)) to such party in the event the
Company’s or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.
(e) If
the indemnification provided under Section 2.8(a) hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying
party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result
of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying
party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party
and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information
supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder
under this Section 7.08(e) shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving
rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or other liabilities referred
to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 2.8(a), 2.8(b) and 2.8(c) above, any legal
or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7.08(e) were determined by pro rata allocation
or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 7.08(e).
No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled
to contribution pursuant to this Section 7.08(e) from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
B-16
Section 7.09 Legend
Removal. If any Registrable Securities are at any time eligible to be sold without registration pursuant to Rule 144 (or any
similar provision) under the Securities Act without limitation on the amount of securities sold or the manner of sale and without compliance
with the current public reporting requirements set forth under Rule 144(c), then, at a Holder’s request, the Company will take
such actions necessary, in cooperation with the Company’s transfer agent (including, if required by the Company’s transfer
agent, delivering an opinion of the Company’s counsel, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent), to
remove any restrictive legend set forth on such certificates.
Section 7.10 Rule 144.
If the Company shall have filed a Registration Statement pursuant to the requirements of Section 12 of the Exchange Act or a Registration
Statement pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act in respect of the Registrable Securities, the Company covenants that (a) so
long as it remains subject to the reporting provisions of the Exchange Act, it will file the reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of
the Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c)(1)(i) of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended
(“Rule 144”) or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any
Holder, make publicly available other information so long as necessary to permit sales by such Holder under Rule 144 or any similar
rules or regulations hereafter adopted by the Commission, and (b) it will take such further action as any Holder may reasonably
request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without Registration under
the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 or (ii) any similar rule or regulation
hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, the Company will deliver to such Holder
a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.
B-17
Section 7.11 Holdback
Agreements.
(a) If
requested by the managing underwriters of any Underwritten Offering, a Holder shall agree, whether or not it participates in such Underwritten
Offering, as contemplated in this Section 7.11, not to (and to cause its Affiliates not to) sell, transfer, pledge, issue, grant
or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly (including by means of any short sale), or request the registration of, any Registrable
Securities for a period (each such period, a “Holdback Period”) beginning on the third day before the pricing
date for the Underwritten Offering and extending through the earlier of (i) the 90th day after such pricing date and (ii) such
earlier day (if any) as may be designated for this purpose by the managing underwriters for such offering (each such agreement of a Holder,
a “Holdback Agreement”). Each Holdback Agreement shall be in writing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the managing underwriters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder shall not be obligated to enter into a Holdback Agreement unless
(A) the Company and the Company’s executive officers and directors also execute agreements substantially similar to such Holdback
Agreement, (B) the Holdback Period applicable to such Holder is no longer than that which is applicable to the Company or the Company’s
executive officers and directors, and (C) such Holdback Agreement provides, with respect to the Holdback Period, that the underwriters
may not waive the Holdback Period for any other holder of Common Stock unless the Holdback Period is waived to the same extent for such
Holder. A Holdback Agreement shall not apply to any shares of Common Stock included in the Underwritten Offering giving rise to the application
of this Section 7.11.
(b) The
obligations of a Holder under this Section 7.11 shall terminate upon the later of the date on which such Holder (i) ceases to
have a nominee serving on the Board or (ii) Beneficially Owns less than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock.
Article VIII
BOARD RIGHTS
Section 8.01 Board
Nomination Rights.
(a) The
Board shall, upon written request by the Maewyn Holder and subject to the following provisos, cause one (1) member of the Board to
consist of the nominee designated in writing by the Maewyn Holder, which nominee shall initially be Charles Fitzgerald (such director
appointed in accordance with this sentence, a “Maewyn Holder Director”), in each case no later than fifteen
(15) Business Days following receipt by the Company of all information reasonably requested by the Company from the Maewyn Holder and
such applicable nominee (the “Nomination Period”); provided, however, that (i) the appointment of the Maewyn
Holder Director to the Board shall be subject to a determination by the Board during the Nomination Period that such appointment is not
inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the members of the Board; provided, further, that if the Board makes such a determination in
good faith, the Board shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Maewyn Holder, and the Maewyn Holder shall have the right to
designate a substitute nominee, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.1(a), (ii) in no event shall the appointment of
Charles Fitzgerald to the Board be effective prior to the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 20, 2026, and
the Company shall take such actions to cause such appointment to become effective as soon as practicable following such Annual Meeting
and (iii) in the event that the Initial Closing (as defined in the Investment Agreement) has not occurred by the Initial Closing
Deadline (as defined in the Investment Agreement) as a result of the Maewyn Holder’s failure to fund the purchase of the Initial
Shares (as defined in the Investment Agreement), (A) the Maewyn Holder shall, promptly upon (and in any event within five (5) Business
Days following) receipt of a written request from the Company, cause the Maewyn Holder Director to resign from the Board and (B) the
Maewyn Holder’s right to designate a nominee for appointment to the Board pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall immediately and
automatically terminate, and the Maewyn Holder shall have no further right to designate any substitute or successor nominee to fill the
resulting vacancy or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, the Board has determined that the election of Charles Fitzgerald as the Maewyn
Holder Director is not inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the members of the Board, and the condition in clause (i) of this
Section 3.1(a) is deemed satisfied with respect to his initial appointment.
B-18
(b) The
Company shall cause the Maewyn Holder Director to be appointed to, and to serve as a member of, the Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee of the Board (or any successor committee with substantially similar responsibilities), subject to applicable law and stock exchange
rules.
(c) Upon
the Maewyn Holder collectively ceasing to Beneficially Own greater than five percent (5%) of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding
shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock or the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants, as applicable) on a fully diluted basis (the “Threshold Amount”), the number of Maewyn Holder Directors
that the Maewyn Holder is entitled to nominate for appointment or election to the Board shall be reduced to zero.
(d) Subject
to the other provisions of this Section 8.01, the Maewyn Holder Director designated for nomination by the Maewyn Holder and elected
or appointed as a member of the Board shall serve as a Maewyn Holder Director until the expiration of his or her term of office, and in
such case the Maewyn Holder may nominate a successor Maewyn Holder Director nominee, subject to the Company’s reasonable approval,
in accordance with this Section 8.01 upon prompt written notice to the Company at least ninety (90) calendar days prior to the one-year
anniversary of the filing of the proxy statement in connection with the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company immediately
preceding the annual meeting for the election of the class of directors in which such Maewyn Holder Director is placed.
(e) In
the event that the number of Maewyn Holder Directors is reduced to zero as a result of a failure to maintain the Threshold Amount, the
Maewyn Holder agrees, promptly upon (and in any event within five (5) Business Days following) receipt of a written request from
the Company, to cause such Maewyn Holder Director to resign from the Board.
(f) In
the event of (i) the resignation, death or removal (including removal for cause) of the Maewyn Holder Director from the Board or
(ii) the Maewyn Holder Director ceasing to be a member of the Board at any time and for any reason (other than as set forth in subsection
(e) above), the Maewyn Holder shall have the right but not the obligation, such determination to be made in its sole discretion,
to designate an individual for election to the Board to fill the resulting vacancy on the Board, which nominee shall be subject to the
Company’s reasonable approval. In the event that the Maewyn Holder chooses not to designate in writing a Maewyn Holder Director
nominee to fill any such resulting vacancy on the Board in accordance with the terms and conditions herein, the resulting vacancy shall

of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company. Any Person who becomes party to this Agreement by executing the form

of, the Registrable Securities (a “Share Transaction”) and shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividends,
splits, reverse splits, combinations, recapitalizations and the like occurring after the date hereof. In the event of a Share Transaction,
the Company shall cause any successor or assign (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets, share exchange or other business combination
transaction or otherwise) to assume this Agreement or enter into a new registration rights agreement with the Holders on terms substantially
the same as this Agreement as a condition of any such transaction, unless in each case, the equity securities received by the Holders
are freely tradeable immediately following the Share Transaction.
B-25

legally allowed, shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the party making such waiver. No waiver by any party
of any breach or violation of, default under, or inaccuracy in any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement hereunder, whether

No delay or omission on the part of any party in exercising any right, power, or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver
thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendments may be made to this Agreement that adversely affect the rights of a Holder disproportionately
as compared with those of other Holders hereunder without the prior written consent of such Holder.

Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their
mutual intent and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party.

defined in Rule 144).
“Underlying Shares”
initially means, with respect to any Warrant, that number of shares of Common Stock identified as the initial number of “Underlying
Shares” in the Certificate representing such Warrant; provided, however, that (a) the number of Underlying Shares of each Warrant
will be subject to adjustment pursuant to Sections 5(f) and 5(g); and (b) upon the Exercise of any Warrant (or any portion
thereof representing less than all of the Underlying Shares thereof), the number of Underlying Shares of such Warrant will be reduced,
effective as of the time such Warrant (or such portion thereof) ceases to be outstanding pursuant to Section 3(k), by the number
of Underlying Shares so Exercised.
“Valuation Price”
means, with respect to the Exercise of any Warrant, the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date for such
Exercise (or, if such Exercise Date is not a Trading Day, the immediately preceding Trading Day).

C-10
(c) [Reserved].
(d) Method
of Payment. The Company will pay all cash amounts due on any Warrant of any Holder by check mailed to the address of such Holder set
forth in the Register; provided, however, that the Company will instead pay such cash amounts by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the account of such Holder within the United States specified in a written request of such Holder delivered to the Company no
later than the Close of Business on the date that is ten (10) Business Days immediately before the date such payment is due (or specified
in the related Optional Exercise Notice, if applicable).
(e) Registrar
and Exercise Agent.
(i) Generally.
The Company designates [__] as an office or agency where Warrants may be presented for (1) registration of transfer or for exchange
(the “Registrar”); and (2) Exercise (the “Exercise Agent”). At all times when
any Warrant is outstanding, the Company will maintain an office in the continental United States constituting the Registrar and Exercise
Agent.
(ii) Maintenance
of the Register. The Company will keep, or cause there to be kept, a record (the “Register”) of the names
and addresses of the Holders, the number of Warrants (and the respective numbers of Underlying Shares thereof) held by each Holder and
the transfer, exchange and Exercise of the Warrants. Absent manifest error, the entries in the Register will be conclusive and the Company
and each Agent may treat each Person whose name is recorded as a Holder in the Register as a Holder for all purposes. The Register will
be in written form or in any form capable of being converted into written form reasonably promptly. The Company will provide a copy of
the Register to any Holder upon its request as soon as reasonably practicable.
(iii) Subsequent
Appointments. By notice to each Holder, the Company may, at any time, appoint any Person (including any Subsidiary of the Company)
to act as Registrar or Exercise Agent.
(f) Legends.
(i) Ownership
Limitation Legend. Each Certificate representing any Warrant will bear the Ownership Limitation Legend.
(ii) Restricted
Security Legend.
(1) Each
Certificate representing any Warrant that is a Transfer-Restricted Security will bear the Restricted Security Legend.
(2) If
any Warrant (such Warrant being referred to as the “new Warrant” for purposes of this Section 3(f)(ii)(2)) is issued
in exchange for, or in substitution of, other Warrant(s), or to effect the Exercise of less than all of the Underlying Shares of a Warrant
represented by any Certificate (such other Warrant(s) or Exercised Warrant, as applicable, being referred to as the “old Warrant(s)”for
purposes of this Section 3(f)(ii)(2)), including pursuant to Section 3(g)(ii) or Section 3(h), then the Certificate
representing such new Warrant will bear the Restricted Security Legend if the Certificate representing such old Warrant(s) bore the
Restricted Security Legend at the time of such exchange or substitution, or on the related Exercise Date with respect to such Exercise,
as applicable; provided, however, that the Certificate representing such new Warrant need not bear the Restricted Security Legend if such
new Warrant does not constitute a Transfer-Restricted Security immediately after such exchange or substitution, or as of such Exercise
Date, as applicable.
C-11
(iii) Other
Legends on Certificates. The Certificate representing any Warrant may bear any other legend or text, not inconsistent with this Warrant
Agreement, as may be required by applicable law, by the rules of any applicable depositary for such Warrant or by any securities
exchange or automated quotation system on which such Warrant is traded or quoted or as may be otherwise reasonably determined by the Company
to be appropriate.
(iv) Acknowledgement
and Agreement by the Holders. A Holder’s acceptance of any Warrant represented by a Certificate bearing any legend required
by this Section 3(f) will constitute such Holder’s acknowledgement of, and agreement to comply with, the restrictions
set forth in such legend.
(v) Legends
on Exercise Shares.
(1) Each
Exercise Share will bear a legend substantially to the same effect as the (A) Ownership Limitation Legend and (B) Restricted
Security Legend if the Warrant upon the Exercise of which such Exercise Share was issued was (or would have been had it not been Exercised)
a Transfer-Restricted Security at the time such Exercise Share was issued, provided, however that such Exercise Share need not bear such
a legend if the Company determines, in its reasonable discretion, that such Exercise Share need not bear such a legend.
(2) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in Section 3(f)(v)(1), an Exercise Share need not bear a legend pursuant to Section 3(f)(v)(1) if
such Exercise Share is issued in an uncertificated form that does not permit affixing legends thereto, provided the Company takes measures
(including, if applicable, the assignment thereto of a “restricted” CUSIP number) that it reasonably deems appropriate to
enforce the transfer restrictions referred to in such legend.
(g) Transfers
and Exchanges; Transfer Taxes; Certain Transfer Restrictions.
(i) Provisions
Applicable to All Transfers and Exchanges.
(1) Generally.
Subject to this Section 3(g), any Warrant represented by any Certificate may be transferred or exchanged from time to time and the
Company will cause the Registrar to record each such transfer or exchange in the Register.
C-12
(2) Transfer
Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, a Holder will not be entitled to transfer or exchange any
Warrant to or for the benefit of any Person, except in compliance with (A) the Charter and (B) the registration requirements
or exemption provisions of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws.
(3) No
Services Charge; Transfer Taxes. The Company and the Agents will not impose any service charge on any Holder for any transfer, exchange
or Exercise of any Warrant, but the Company, the Registrar and the Exercise Agent may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
transfer tax or similar governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer, exchange or Exercise of any Warrant,
other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3(h) not involving any transfer.
(4) Transfers
and Exchanges Must Be in Authorized Denominations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant Agreement, all transfers
or exchanges of Warrants must be in an Authorized Denomination.
(5) Legends.
Each Certificate representing any Warrant that is issued upon transfer of, or in exchange for, another Warrant will bear each legend,
if any, required by Section 3(f).
(6) Settlement
of Transfers and Exchanges. Upon satisfaction of the requirements of this Warrant Agreement to effect a transfer or exchange of any
Warrant, the Company will cause such transfer or exchange to be effected as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event later than
the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date of such satisfaction.
(7) Exchanges
to Remove Transfer Restrictions. For the avoidance of doubt, and subject to the terms of this Warrant Agreement, as used in this Section 3(g),
an “exchange” of a Certificate includes an exchange effected for the sole purpose of removing any Restricted Security Legend
affixed to such Certificate.
(ii) Transfers
and Exchanges of Warrants.
(1) Subject
to this Section 3(g), a Holder of any Warrant represented by a Certificate may (A) transfer any Authorized Denomination of such
Warrant to one or more other Person(s); (B) exchange any Authorized Denomination of such Warrant for Warrant(s) that (x) represent
that same aggregate number of Underlying Shares as the number of Underlying Shares being exchanged; and (y) are represented by one
or more other Certificates; provided, however, that, to effect any such transfer or exchange, such Holder must (A) surrender to the
office of the Registrar any endorsements or transfer instruments reasonably required by the Company or the Registrar; and (B) deliver
such certificates, documentation or evidence as may be required pursuant to Section 3(g)(ii)(3).
C-13
(2) Upon
the satisfaction of the requirements of this Warrant Agreement to effect a transfer or exchange of any Authorized Denomination of a Holder’s
Warrant represented by a Certificate (such Certificate being referred to as the “old Certificate” for purposes of this Section 3(g)(ii)(2)):
(A) such
old Certificate will be promptly cancelled pursuant to Section 3(j);
(B) if
less than all of the Underlying Shares of the Warrant represented by such old Certificate are to be so transferred or exchanged, then
the Company will issue, execute and deliver, in accordance with Section 3(b), one or more Certificates that (x) in the aggregate,
represent a total number of Underlying Shares equal to the number of Underlying Shares represented by such old Certificate not to be so
transferred or exchanged; (y) are registered in the name of such Holder; and (z) bear each legend, if any, required by Section 3(f);
(C) in
the case of a transfer to a transferee, the Company will issue, execute and deliver, in accordance with Section 3(b), one or more
Certificates that (x) in the aggregate, represent a total number of Underlying Shares equal to the number of Underlying Shares to
be so transferred; (y) are registered in the name of such transferee; and (z) bear each legend, if any, required by Section 3(f);
and
(D) in
the case of an exchange, the Company will issue, execute and deliver, in accordance with Section 3(b), one or more Certificates that
(x) in the aggregate, represent a total number of Underlying Shares equal to the number of Underlying Shares to be so exchanged;
(y) are registered in the name of the Person to whom such old Certificate was registered; and (z) bear each legend, if any,
required by Section 3(f).
(3) Requirement
to Deliver Documentation and Other Evidence. If a Holder of any Warrant that is a Transfer-Restricted Security, or that is represented
by a Certificate that bears an Ownership Limitation Legend or a Restricted Security Legend, requests to register the transfer of such
Warrant to the name of another Person or in exchange for purposes of removing a Restricted Security Legend, then the Company and the Registrar
may refuse to effect such transfer or exchange unless there is delivered to the Company and the Registrar such certificates or other documentation
or evidence as the Company and the Registrar may reasonably require (including an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company
and the Registrar to the effect that such legend is no longer required under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws)
to determine that such transfer complies with the Charter and the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws, as the case may
be.
C-14
(iii) Transfers
of Warrants Subject to Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant Agreement, the Company and the Registrar
will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Warrant that has been surrendered for Exercise.
(h) Exchange
and Cancellation of Exercised Warrants.
(i) Cancellation
of Warrants That Are Exercised. If the Underlying Shares of a Holder’s Warrant represented by a Certificate (such Certificate
being referred to as the “old Certificate” for purposes of this Section 3(h)(i)) are Exercised pursuant to Section 5,
then, promptly after the later of the time such Warrant (or the portion thereof representing the Underlying Shares so Exercised) is deemed
to cease to be outstanding pursuant to Section 3(l) and the time such old Certificate is surrendered for such Exercise, (1) such
old Certificate will be cancelled pursuant to Section 3(k); and (2) in the case of a partial Exercise, the Company will issue,
execute and deliver to such Holder, in accordance with Section 3(b), one or more Certificates that (x) represent one or more
Warrants that, in the aggregate, have a total number of Underlying Shares equal to the number of Underlying Shares represented by such
old Certificate that are not to be so Exercised; (y) are registered in the name of such Holder; and (z) bear each legend, if
any, required by Section 3(f).
(i) [Reserved].
(j) Registered
Holders. Only the Holder of any Warrant(s) will have rights under this Warrant Agreement as the owner of such Warrant(s).
(k) Cancellation.
In accordance with the terms and conditions of this Warrant Agreement, the Company may at any time deliver any Warrant to the Registrar
for cancellation. The Exercise Agent will forward to the Registrar each Warrant duly surrendered to them for transfer, exchange, payment
or Exercise. The Company will cause the Registrar to promptly cancel all Warrants so surrendered to it in accordance with its customary
procedures.
(l) Outstanding
Warrants.
(i) Generally.
The Warrants that are outstanding at any time will be deemed to be those Warrants that, at such time, have been deemed to have been duly
executed by the Company pursuant to the terms set forth herein by the registration of the electronic book-entry representing such Certificate
in the name of the applicable Holder, excluding those Warrants (or any portions of any Warrants representing less than all of the initial
number of Underlying Shares thereof) that have theretofore been (1) cancelled by the Registrar or delivered to the Registrar for
cancellation in accordance with Section 3(k); (2) paid or settled in full upon their Exercise in accordance with this Warrant
Agreement; or (3) deemed to cease to be outstanding to the extent provided in, and subject to, clause (ii) or (iii) of
this Section 3(l).
(ii) Exercised
Warrants. If any Warrant(s) (or any portions of any Warrant(s) representing less than all of the Underlying Shares thereof)
are Exercised, then, at the Close of Business on the Exercise Date for such Exercise (unless there occurs a default in the delivery of
the Exercise Consideration due pursuant to Section 5 upon such Exercise): (1) such Warrant(s) (or such portions thereof)
will be deemed to cease to be outstanding; and (2) the rights of the Holder(s) of such Warrant(s) (or such portions thereof),
as such, will terminate with respect to such Warrant(s) (or such portions thereof), other than the right to receive such Exercise
Consideration as provided in Section 5.
C-15
(iii) Warrants
Remaining Unexercised as of the Exercise Period Expiration Date. If any Warrant(s) are otherwise outstanding as of the Close
of Business on the Exercise Period Expiration Date, then, without limiting the operation of Section 5(c), such Warrant(s) will
cease to be outstanding as of immediately after the Close of Business on the Exercise Period Expiration Date.
(iv) Certificates
Need Not Be Amended. A reduction in the number of Underlying Shares of any Warrant as a result of a Warrant (or any portion thereof
representing less than all of the Underlying Shares thereof) ceasing to be outstanding pursuant to this Section 3(l) will be
effective without the need to notate the same on, or otherwise amend, the Certificate representing such Warrant.
Section 4. No
Right of Redemption by the Company. The Company does not have the right to redeem the Warrants at its election.
Section 5. Exercise
of Warrants.
(a) Generally.
Subject to the provisions of this Section 5, the Warrants may be exercised only pursuant to an Optional Exercise or an Automatic
Exercise.
(b) Exercise
at the Option of the Holders.
(i) Exercise
Right; When Warrants May Be Submitted for Optional Exercise. Subject to Section 5(d)(ii)(3), each Holder of any Warrant(s) will
have the right to submit all, or any Authorized Denomination, of such Warrant(s) for Optional Exercise at any time during the Exercise
Period.
(ii) Exercises
of Warrants Not In Authorized Denominations Prohibited. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant Agreement, in no
event will any Holder be entitled to Exercise any Warrant other than in an Authorized Denomination thereof.
(c) Automatic
Exercise on Exercise Period Expiration Date or Effective Date of Cash Common Stock Change Event. Subject to the provisions of this
Section 5, each Warrant, if any, that is outstanding and not Exercised as of immediately before the Close of Business on (i) the
Exercise Period Expiration Date will be deemed to be Exercised with an Exercise Date occurring on the Exercise Period Expiration Date
(or, if such Exercise Period Expiration Date is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day); or (ii) the effective
date of a Common Stock Change Event whose reference property consists entirely of cash, will be deemed to be Exercised with an Exercise
Date occurring on such effective date (or, if such effective date is not a Business Day, the preceding Business Day) (“Automatic
Exercise”). For the avoidance of doubt, each Exercise of any Warrant pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence
will be settled in accordance with Section 5(j)(i)(C).
C-16
(d) Exercise
Procedures.
(i) Automatic
Exercise. If any Warrant is subject to an Automatic Exercise, then (1) the Automatic Exercise of such Warrant will occur automatically
and without the need for any action on the part of the Holder(s) thereof; and (2) the shares of Common Stock due upon such Automatic
Exercise will be registered in the name of, and, if applicable, the cash due upon such Automatic Exercise will be delivered to, the Holder(s) of
such Warrant as of the Close of Business on the related Automatic Exercise Date.
(ii) Requirements
for Holders to Exercise Their Optional Exercise Right.
(1) Generally.
To Exercise any Warrant represented by a Certificate pursuant to an Optional Exercise, the Holder of such Warrant must (w) complete,
manually sign and deliver to the Exercise Agent an Optional Exercise Notice (at which time such Optional Exercise will become irrevocable);
(x) furnish any endorsements and transfer documents that the Company or the Exercise Agent may require; (y) subject to Section 5(j),
deliver the Aggregate Strike Price for such Exercise in accordance with Section 5(d)(ii)(2), if Physical Settlement applies to such
Exercise; and (z) if applicable, pay any documentary or other taxes pursuant to Section 6(d).
(2) Payment
of Aggregate Strike Price. Subject to Section 5(j), the Holder of an Exercised Warrant that will be settled by Physical Settlement
will deliver the Aggregate Strike Price for such Exercise to the Company in cash (by (x) certified or official bank check payable
to the order of the Company and delivered to the Company at its principal executive offices in the United States; or (y) such other
method as may be acceptable to the Company). Such payment will be deemed to have been made on the date such Aggregate Strike Price is
actually received by the Company (or, in the case of payment by certified or official bank check, on the date the Company receives such
check at its principal executive offices in the United States).
(3) Optional
Exercise Permitted only During Business Hours. Warrants may be surrendered for Optional Exercise only after the Open of Business and
before the Close of Business on a day that is a Business Day that occurs during the Exercise Period.
(iii) When
Holders Become Stockholders of Record of the Shares of Common Stock Issuable Upon Exercise. The Person in whose name any share of
Common Stock is issuable upon Exercise of any Warrant will be deemed to become the holder of record of such share as of the Close of Business
on the Exercise Date for such Exercise.
(e) Settlement
Upon Exercise.
(i) Settlement
Method. Upon the Exercise of any Warrant, the Company will settle such Exercise by paying or delivering, as applicable and as provided
in this Section 5(e), shares of Common Stock, together, if applicable, with cash in lieu of fractional shares, in the amounts set
forth in either (x) Section 5(e)(ii)(1) (a “Physical Settlement”); or (y) Section 5(e)(ii)(2) (a
“Cashless Settlement”). The Settlement Method applicable to the (1) Optional Exercise of any Warrant will
be the Settlement Method set forth in the Exercise Notice for such exercise and (2) Automatic Exercise of any Warrant will be Cashless
Settlement.
C-17
(ii) Exercise
Consideration. Subject to Section 5(e)(ii), Section 5(i), Section 5(j) and Section 7(b), the consideration
due upon settlement of the Exercise of each Warrant will consist of the following:
(1) Physical
Settlement. If Physical Settlement applies to such Exercise, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Underlying
Shares of such Warrant that are being so Exercised; or
(2) Cashless
Settlement. If Cashless Settlement applies to such Exercise, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the greater of (x) zero;
and (y) an amount equal to:
where:
N = the number of Underlying Shares of
such Warrant that are being so Exercised;
VP = the Valuation Price per share of
Common Stock for such Exercise; and
SP = the Strike Price in effect immediately
after the Close of Business on such Exercise Date.
(iii) Payment
of Cash in Lieu of any Fractional Share of Common Stock. Subject to Section 7(b), in lieu of delivering any fractional share
of Common Stock otherwise due upon Exercise of any Warrant, the Company will pay cash based on the Valuation Price.
(iv) Delivery
of Exercise Consideration. Except as provided in Sections 5(f)(i)(2) and 5(j)(i)(C), the Company will pay or deliver, as
applicable, the Exercise Consideration due upon Exercise of any Warrant on or before the second (2nd) Business Day immediately after the
Exercise Date for such Exercise.
C-18
(f) Strike
Price and Number of Underlying Shares Adjustments.
(i) Events
Requiring an Adjustment to the Strike Price and the Number of Underlying Shares. Each of the Strike Price and the number of Underlying
Shares of each Warrant will be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(1) Stock
Dividends, Splits and Combinations. If the Company issues solely shares of Common Stock as a dividend on all or substantially all
shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company effects a stock split or a stock combination of the Common Stock (in each case excluding
an issuance solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 5(j) will apply), then the Strike Price will
be adjusted based on the following formula (with a corresponding adjustment to the number of Underlying Shares of each Warrant pursuant
to Section 5(f)(i)(4)):
where:
SP0 = the Strike Price in effect
immediately before the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend, or immediately before the Close of Business on the effective
date of such stock split or stock combination, as applicable;
SP1 = the Strike Price in effect
immediately after the Close of Business on such Record Date or effective date, as applicable;
OS0 = the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Close of Business on such Record Date or effective date, as applicable, without giving
effect to such dividend, stock split or stock combination; and
OS1 = the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, stock split or stock combination.
If any dividend, stock split or stock combination
of the type described in this Section 5(f)(i)(1) is declared or announced, but not so paid or made, then each of the Strike
Price and the number of Underlying Shares of each Warrant will be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines
not to pay such dividend or to effect such stock split or stock combination, to the Strike Price and the number of Underlying Shares,
respectively, that would then be in effect had such dividend, stock split or stock combination not been declared or announced.
C-19
(2) Spin-Offs.
If the Company distributes shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to an Affiliate
or Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock (other than solely pursuant
to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 5(j) will apply), and such Capital Stock or equity interests are listed
or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon the consummation of the transaction) on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”),
then the Strike Price will be adjusted based on the following formula (with a corresponding adjustment to the number of Underlying Shares
of each Warrant pursuant to Section 5(f)(i)(4)):
where:
SP0 = the Strike Price in effect
immediately before the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period for such Spin-Off;
SP1 = the Strike Price in effect
immediately after the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period;
P = the average of the Last Reported Sale
Prices per share of Common Stock for each Trading Day in the Spin-Off Valuation Period; and
FMV = the product of (x) the average
of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share or unit of the Capital Stock or equity interests distributed in such Spin-Off over the ten
(10) consecutive Trading Day period (the “Spin-Off Valuation Period”) beginning on, and including, the
Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off (such average to be determined as if references to Common Stock in the definitions of “Last Reported
Sale Price,” “Trading Day” and “Market Disruption Event” were instead references to such Capital Stock or
equity interests); and (y) the number of shares or units of such Capital Stock or equity interests distributed per share of Common
Stock in such Spin-Off.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 5(f)(i)(2), if any Warrant is Exercised and the Exercise Date for such Exercise occurs during the Spin-Off Valuation Period
for such Spin-Off, then, solely for purposes of determining the Exercise Consideration for such Exercise, such Spin-Off Valuation Period
will be deemed to consist of the Trading Days occurring in the period from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off to,
and including, such Exercise Date.
To the extent any distribution of the type described
in this Section 5(f)(i)(2) is declared but not made or paid, each of the Strike Price and the number of Underlying Shares of
each Warrant will be readjusted to the Strike Price and the number of Underlying Shares, respectively, that would then be in effect had
the adjustment thereto been made on the basis of only the distribution, if any, actually made or paid.
C-20
(3) Cash
Dividends. If any cash dividend is made to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock (other than a regular quarterly cash dividend),
then the Strike Price will be adjusted based on the following formula (with a corresponding adjustment to the number of Underlying Shares
of each Warrant pursuant to Section 5(f)(i)(4)):
where:
SP0 = the Strike Price in effect
immediately before the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend;
SP1 = the Strike Price in effect
immediately after the Close of Business on such Record Date;
P = the Last Reported Sale Price per share
of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately before the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend; and
D = the cash amount distributed per share
of Common Stock in such dividend.
provided, however, that, if D is equal
to or greater than P, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Strike Price (and the corresponding adjustment to the number of
Underlying Shares of each Warrant pursuant to Section 5(f)(i)(4)), each Holder will receive, for each Warrant held by such Holder
on the Record Date for such dividend, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, the amount of cash that such
Holder would have received in such dividend if such Holder had owned, on such Record Date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to
the number of Underlying Shares of such Warrant as of such Record Date. To the extent such dividend is declared but not made or paid,
each of the Strike Price and the number of Underlying Shares of each Warrant will be readjusted to the Strike Price and the number of
Underlying Shares, respectively, that would then be in effect had the adjustment thereto been made on the basis of only the dividend,
if any, actually made or paid.
(4) Adjustment
to the Number of Underlying Shares. If the Strike Price is adjusted pursuant to the formulas set forth in any of clauses (1) through
(3) of this Section 5(f)(i) (excluding, for these purposes, a readjustment pursuant to the text following such formulas),
then, effective as of the same time at which such adjustment to the Strike Price becomes effective, the number of Underlying Shares of
each Warrant will be adjusted to an amount (rounded to the nearest whole number) equal to the product of (A) the number of Underlying
Shares of such Warrant in effect immediately before such adjustment to such number of Underlying Shares; and (B) the quotient obtained
by dividing (x) the Strike Price in effect immediately before such adjustment to the Strike Price by (y) the Strike Price in
effect immediately after such adjustment to the Strike Price; provided, however, that the number of Underlying Shares of each Warrant
will be subject to readjustment to the extent set forth in such clauses. For purposes of calculating the adjustment to the number of Underlying
Shares of each Warrant pursuant to the preceding sentence, the amount set forth in clause (B)(y) of the preceding sentence will calculated
without giving effect to any rounding pursuant to Section 5(f)(vi).
(ii) No
Adjustments in Certain Cases.
(1) Where
Holders Participate in the Transaction or Event Without Exercising. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5(f)(i),
the Company is not required to adjust the Strike Price or the number of Underlying Shares of any Warrant for a transaction or other event
otherwise requiring an adjustment pursuant to Section 5(f)(i) (other than a stock split or combination of the type set forth
in Section 5(f)(i)(1)) if each Holder participates, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, and solely
by virtue of being a Holder of the Warrants, in such transaction or event without having to Exercise such Holder’s Warrants and
as if such Holder had owned, on the Record Date for such transaction or event, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate
number of Underlying Shares, as of such Record Date, of the Warrants held by such Holder on such Record Date.
C-21
(2) Certain
Events. The Company will not be required to adjust the Strike Price or the number of Underlying Shares of any Warrant except pursuant
to Section 5(f)(i).
(iii) Adjustments
Not Yet Effective. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant Agreement, if:
(1) a
Warrant is Exercised;
(2) the
Record Date or effective date for any event that requires an adjustment to the Strike Price pursuant to Section 5(f)(i) has
occurred on or before the Exercise Date for such Exercise, but an adjustment to the Strike Price or the number of Underlying Shares of
the Warrants for such event has not yet become effective as of such Exercise Date;
(3) the
Exercise Consideration due upon such Exercise includes any whole shares of Common Stock; and
(4) such
shares are not entitled to participate in such event (because they were not held on the related Record Date or otherwise),
then, solely for purposes of such Exercise,
the Company will, without duplication, give effect to such adjustment on such Exercise Date. In such case, if the date on which the Company
is otherwise required to deliver the Exercise Consideration due upon such Exercise is before the first date on which the amount of such
adjustment can be determined, then the Company will delay the settlement of such Exercise until the second (2nd) Business Day after such
first date.
(iv) Adjustments
Where Exercising Holders Participate in the Relevant Transaction or Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant
Agreement, if:
(1) an
adjustment to the Strike Price or the number of Underlying Shares of the Warrants for any dividend or distribution becomes effective on
any Ex-Dividend Date pursuant to Section 5(f)(i);
(2) a
Warrant is Exercised;
(3) the
Exercise Date for such Exercise occurs on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or before the related Record Date;
C-22
(4) the
Exercise Consideration due upon such Exercise includes any whole shares of Common Stock based on a Strike Price or number of Underlying
Shares that is adjusted for such dividend or distribution; and
(5) such
shares would be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution (including pursuant to Section 5(d)(iii)),
then such adjustment will not be given
effect for such Exercise and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Exercise based on such unadjusted Strike Price and unadjusted
number of Underlying Shares will not be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution, but there will be added, to the Exercise
Consideration otherwise due upon such Exercise, the same kind and amount of consideration that would have been delivered in such dividend
or distribution with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares been entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution.
(v) Determination
of the Number of Outstanding Shares of Common Stock. For purposes of Section 5(f)(i), the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
at any time will include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.
(vi) Rounding
of Calculations. All calculations with respect to the Strike Price and adjustments thereto will be made to the nearest cent (with
half of one cent rounded upwards), and all calculations with respect to the number of Underlying Shares of any Warrant and adjustments
thereto will be made to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share of Common Stock (with 5/100,000ths rounded upward).
(vii) Notice
of Strike Price and Number of Underlying Shares Adjustments. Upon the effectiveness of any adjustment to the Strike Price or the number
of Underlying Shares of the Warrants pursuant to Section 5(f)(i), the Company will, as soon as reasonably practicable and no later
than ten (10) Business Days after the date of such effectiveness, send notice to the Holders (with a copy to the Exercise Agent)
containing (1) a brief description of the transaction or other event on account of which such adjustment was made; (2) the Strike
Price in effect immediately after such adjustment; (3) a brief description of any corresponding adjustment to the number of Underlying
Shares of each Warrant; and (4) the effective time of such adjustment.
(g) Voluntary
Adjustments.
(i) Generally.
To the extent permitted by law and applicable stock exchange rules, the Company, from time to time, may (but is not required to) decrease
the Strike Price by any amount, or increase the number of Underlying Shares of each outstanding Warrant by any amount, if (1) the
Board of Directors determines that such decrease or increase, as applicable, is in the Company’s best interest or that such decrease
or increase, as applicable, is advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax imposed on holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase
Common Stock as a result of any dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock or any similar event; (2) such decrease or increase,
as applicable, is in effect for a period of at least twenty (20) Business Days; and (3) such decrease or increase, as applicable,
is irrevocable during such period.
C-23
(ii) Notice
of Voluntary Adjustment. If the Board of Directors determines to decrease the Strike Price or increase the number of Underlying Shares
of the Warrants pursuant to Section 5(g)(i), then, no later than the first Business Day of the related twenty (20) Business Day period
referred to in Section 5(g)(i), the Company will send notice to each Holder (with a copy to the Exercise Agent) of such decrease
or increase, as applicable, quantifying the amount thereof and stating the period during which such decrease or increase, as applicable,
will be in effect.
(h) Adjustments
Effective Without Need to Amend Certificates. An adjustment to the number of Underlying Shares of any Warrant pursuant to Section 5(f) or
5(g) will be effective without the need to notate the same on, or otherwise amend, the Certificate representing such Warrant.
(i) Restriction
on Exercises.2
(i) Limitation
on Exercise Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant Agreement, unless and until the Requisite Stockholder
Approval is obtained, no shares of Common Stock will be issued or delivered upon Exercise of any Warrant of any Holder, and no Warrant
of any Holder will be exercisable, in each case to the extent, that (A) such issuance, delivery, Exercise or exercisability would
result in such Holder or a “person” or “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange
Act) that includes such Holder, beneficially owning in excess of nineteen and nine tenths percent (19.9%) of the-then outstanding shares
of Common Stock (the “NYSE Ownership Limitation”) or (B) after giving effect to such issuance, delivery
or Exercise, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of any Warrants (as defined in the Investment
Agreement) would exceed 19.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the
Investment Agreement (the “NYSE Market Limitation”).
If any Exercise Consideration otherwise
due upon the Exercise of any Warrant is not delivered as a result of the NYSE Ownership Limitation or the NYSE Market Limitation, then
the Company’s obligation to deliver such Exercise Consideration will not be extinguished, and the Company will deliver such Exercise
Consideration as soon as reasonably practicable after the date the Requisite Stockholder Approval is obtained.
Any purported delivery of shares of
Common Stock upon Exercise of any Warrant will be void and have no effect to the extent, and only to the extent, that such delivery would
contravene the NYSE Ownership Limitation or the NYSE Market Limitation.
(ii) [Reserved].
(iii) Covenant
to Seek the Requisite Stockholder Approval. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Requisite Stockholder Approval
by seeking such approval, if not previously obtained, at each future regular annual meeting of its stockholders and recommending its approval
in the related proxy materials. The Company will promptly notify the Holders if the Requisite Stockholder Approval is obtained.
2 Note to Draft: Language subject to NYSE review.
C-24
(j) Effect
of Common Stock Change Event.
(i) Generally.
If there occurs any:
(1) recapitalization,
reclassification or change of the Common Stock, other than (x) changes solely resulting from a subdivision or combination of the
Common Stock, (y) a change only in par value or from par value to no par value or no par value to par value or (z) stock splits
and stock combinations that do not involve the issuance of any other series or class of securities;
(2) consolidation,
merger, combination or binding or statutory share exchange involving the Company;
(3) sale,
lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Person;
or
(4) other
similar event,
and, as a result of which, the Common Stock is
converted into, or is exchanged for, or represents solely the right to receive, other securities, cash or other property, or any combination
of the foregoing (such an event, a “Common Stock Change Event,” and such other securities, cash or property,
the “Reference Property,” and the amount and kind of Reference Property that a holder of one (1) share
of Common Stock would be entitled to receive on account of such Common Stock Change Event (without giving effect to any arrangement not
to issue or deliver a fractional portion of any security or other property), a “Reference Property Unit”), then,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant Agreement,
(A) from
and after the effective time of such Common Stock Change Event, the consideration due upon Exercise of any Warrant will be determined
in the same manner as if each reference to any number of shares of Common Stock in this Section 5 or in Section 6, or in any
related definitions, were instead a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units;
(B) if
such Reference Property Unit includes, but does not consist entirely of, cash (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that clause
(C) below will apply instead of this clause (B) if such Reference Property Unit consists entirely of cash), then, from and after
the effective time of such Common Stock Change Event, there will be deducted or removed, as applicable, from the Aggregate Strike Price
otherwise payable to Exercise any Warrant pursuant to Section 5(d)(ii), and from the cash that would otherwise be included in the
Exercise Consideration due, pursuant to Section 5(e), to settle such Exercise, in each case pursuant to Physical Settlement, a cash
amount equal to the product of (I) the number of Underlying Shares of such Warrant that are being so Exercised; and (II) the
lesser of (x) the Strike Price on the Exercise Date for such Exercise; and (y) the amount of cash included in such Reference
Property Unit;
C-25
(C) if
such Reference Property Unit consists entirely of cash, then (I) from and after the effective time of such Common Stock Exchange
Event, no delivery of the Aggregate Strike Price will be required to Exercise any Warrant; and (II) the Company will settle each
Exercise of any Warrant whose Exercise Date occurs on or after the date of the effective time of such Common Stock Change Event by paying,
on or before the tenth (10th) Business Day immediately after such Exercise Date, cash in an amount equal to the product of (I) the
number of Underlying Shares of such Warrant that are being so Exercised; and (II) the excess, if any, of (x) the amount of cash
included in such Reference Property Unit over (y) the Strike Price (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that the amount
set forth in this clause (II) will be zero if the amount set forth in clause (x) is not greater than the amount set forth in
clause (y)); and
(D) for
these purposes, the Last Reported Sale Price of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist of a class of securities
will be the fair value of such Reference Property Unit or portion thereof, as applicable, determined in good faith by the Company (or,
in the case of cash denominated in U.S. dollars, the face amount thereof).
If the Reference Property consists of more than
a single type of consideration to be determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election, then the composition of the Reference
Property Unit will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received, per share of Common
Stock, by the holders of Common Stock. The Company will notify the Holders of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such
determination is made.
(ii) Execution
of Supplemental Instruments. On or before the date the Common Stock Change Event becomes effective, the Company and, if applicable,
the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if not the Company) of such Common Stock Change Event (the “Successor Person”)
will execute and deliver such supplemental instruments, if any, as the Company reasonably determines are necessary or desirable (which
supplemental instruments will, for the avoidance of doubt, not require the consent of any Holder) to (y) provide for subsequent adjustments
to the Strike Price and the number of Underlying Shares of the Warrants pursuant to Section 5(f)(i) in a manner consistent with
this Section 5(j); and (z) contain such other provisions, if any, as the Company reasonably determines are appropriate to preserve
the economic interests of the Holders and to give effect to Section 5(j)(i). If the Successor Person is not the Company, or the Reference
Property includes shares of stock or other securities or assets (other than cash) of a Person other than the Successor Person, then the
Company will cause such Successor Person or Person, as applicable, to execute and deliver a joinder to this Warrant Agreement assuming
the obligations of the Company under this Warrant Agreement, or the obligation to deliver such Reference Property upon Exercise of the
Warrants, as applicable.
C-26
(iii) Notice
of Common Stock Change Event. The Company will provide notice of each Common Stock Change Event to Holders no later than the second
(2nd) Business Day after the effective date of the Common Stock Change Event.
Section 6. Certain
Provisions Relating to the Issuance of Common Stock.
(a) Equitable
Adjustments to Prices. Whenever this Warrant Agreement requires the Company to calculate the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices,
or any function thereof, over a period of multiple days (including to calculate an adjustment to the Strike Price), the Company will make
appropriate adjustments, if any, to those calculations to account for any adjustment to the Strike Price pursuant to Section 5(f)(i) that
becomes effective, or any event requiring such an adjustment to the Strike Price where the Record Date, Ex-Dividend Date or effective
date, as applicable, of such event occurs, at any time during such period.
(b) Reservation
of Shares of Common Stock. At all times when any Warrant is outstanding, the Company will reserve (out of its authorized and not outstanding
shares of Common Stock that are not reserved for other purposes), for delivery upon Exercise of the Warrants, a number of shares of Common
Stock that would be sufficient to settle the Exercise of all Warrant(s) then outstanding (assuming, for these purposes, that each
such Warrant is settled by the delivery of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Underlying Shares of such Warrant).
(c) Status
of Shares of Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock delivered upon Exercise of any Warrant of any Holder will be a newly issued
share and will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable, free from preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse
claim (except to the extent of any lien or adverse claim created by the action or inaction of such Holder or the Person to whom such share
of Common Stock will be delivered). If the Common Stock is then listed on any securities exchange, or quoted on any inter-dealer quotation
system, then the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such share of Common Stock, when so delivered, to be admitted
for listing on such exchange or quotation on such system.
(d) Taxes
Upon Issuance of Common Stock. The Company will pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or duty due on the issue
of any shares of Common Stock upon Exercise of any Warrant of any Holder. However, the Company shall not be required to pay any such documentary,
stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or duty that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery (or any transfer involved in the
issue or delivery) of such Common Stock to a beneficial owner other than the beneficial owner of the Warrant immediately prior to the
Exercise of the Warrant, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue or delivery has
paid to the Company the amount of any such transfer tax or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such transfer tax has
been paid or is not payable.
C-27
Section 7. Calculations.
(a) Responsibility;
Schedule of Calculations. Except as otherwise provided in this Warrant Agreement, the Company will be responsible for making all calculations
called for under this Warrant Agreement or the Warrants, including determinations of the Strike Price and the Last Reported Sale Prices.
The Company will make all calculations in good faith, and, absent manifest error, its calculations will be final and binding on all Holders.
The Company will provide a schedule of such calculations to any Holder upon written request.
(b) Calculations
Aggregated for Each Holder. The composition of the Exercise Consideration due upon Exercise of any Warrant of any Holder will be computed
based on the total number of Warrants of such Holder being Exercised with the same Exercise Date. Any cash amounts due to such Holder
in respect thereof will, after giving effect to the preceding sentence, be rounded to the nearest cent.
Section 8. Miscellaneous.
(a) Notices.
(i) Notices
to Holders. All notices or communications required to be made to a Holder pursuant to this Warrant Agreement must be made in writing
and will be deemed to be duly sent or given in writing if (1) mailed by first class mail, certified or registered, return receipt
requested, or by overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery, to its address shown on the Register; or (2) transmitted by
facsimile or by electronic transmission or other similar means of unsecured electronic communication to the facsimile or electronic address,
as applicable, of such Holder shown on the Register, provided receipt of such facsimile or electronic transmission or communication is
acknowledged. The failure to send a notice or communication to a Holder, or any defect in such notice or communication, will not affect
its sufficiency with respect to any other Holder.
(ii) Notice
Effectiveness. If a notice or communication is mailed or sent in the manner provided above in this Section 8(a) within the
time prescribed, it will be deemed to have been duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it (except to the extent, but only to
the extent, acknowledgement of receipt is expressly required by this Section 8(a)).
(b) Governing
Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT AND THE WARRANTS, AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED
TO THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT OR THE WARRANTS, WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE
COMPANY AND EACH HOLDER (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF ANY WARRANT) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY
AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT, THE WARRANTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED BY THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT OR THE WARRANTS.
C-28
(c) Submission
to Jurisdiction. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Warrant Agreement or the transactions contemplated
by this Warrant Agreement may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the City of New York or the
courts of the State of New York, in each case located in the City of New York (collectively, the “Specified Courts”),
and each party irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Service of
any process, summons, notice or document by mail (to the extent allowed under any applicable statute or rule of court) to such party’s
address set forth in Section 8(a) will be effective service of process for any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any
such court. Each of the Company and each Holder (by its execution and delivery of this Warrant Agreement or by its acceptance of any Warrant)
irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or other proceeding in the Specified Courts
and irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim any such suit, action or other proceeding has been brought
in an inconvenient forum.
(d) No
Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements. Neither this Warrant Agreement nor the Warrants may be used to interpret any other agreement
of the Company or its Subsidiaries or of any other Person, and no such other agreement may be used to interpret this Warrant Agreement
or the Warrants.
(e) Successors;
Benefits of Warrant Agreement. All agreements of the Company in this Warrant Agreement and the Warrants will bind its successors.
Subject to the preceding sentence, this Warrant Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and for the Holders, as such,
from time to time, and nothing in this Warrant Agreement, or anything that may be implied from any provision of this Warrant Agreement,
will confer on any other Person any right, claim or remedy.
(f) Severability.
If any provision of this Warrant Agreement or the Warrants is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the validity, legality and enforceability
of the remaining provisions of this Warrant Agreement or the Warrants will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
(g) Counterparts.
The parties may sign any number of copies of this Warrant Agreement. Each signed copy will be an original, and all of them together represent
the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Warrant Agreement by facsimile, electronically in portable document format
or in any other format will be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart.
(h) Table
of Contents, Headings, Etc. The table of contents and the headings of the Sections and sub-Sections of this Warrant Agreement have
been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part of this Warrant Agreement and will in no way modify or
restrict any of the terms or provisions of this Warrant Agreement.
(i) Withholding
Taxes. The Company and its paying agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold taxes on all payments and distributions (or deemed
distributions) on the Warrants and Common Stock issuable upon Exercise of a Warrant to the extent required by applicable Law. To the extent
that any amounts are so deducted or withheld, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Warrant Agreement
as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made. In the event the Company previously remitted
any amounts to a governmental authority on account of such taxes required to be deducted or withheld in respect of any payment or distribution
(or deemed distribution) with respect to a Warrant or share of Common Stock (or in respect of any payment or distribution (or deemed distribution)
in respect thereof), the Company shall be entitled (i) to offset any such amounts against any amounts otherwise payable in respect
of such Warrant or share of Common Stock or (ii) to require the Person in respect of whom such deduction or withholding was made
to reimburse the Company for such amounts (and such Person shall promptly so reimburse the Company upon demand).
C-29
(j) Entire
Agreement. This Warrant Agreement, including all Exhibits hereto, together with the Investment Agreement[,][ and] the Investor Rights
Agreement [and the Letter Agreement], constitute the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the specific subject matter covered
hereby and thereby, and supersedes in their entirety all other agreements or understandings between or among the parties with respect
to such specific subject matter.
(k) No
Other Rights. The Warrants will confer no rights to the Holders thereof except as provided in this Warrant Agreement. For the avoidance
of doubt, and without limiting the operation of Sections 5(f)(iv), 5(f)(ii)(1) and 5(d)(iii), and the proviso to Section 5(f)(i)(3),
the Warrants will not confer to the Holders thereof any rights as stockholders of the Company.
(l) No
Obligation to Purchase Securities of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, except to the extent any Exercise Shares (or other Exercise
Consideration consisting of any securities of the Company) is deliverable in connection with the due Exercise of any Warrant, nothing
in this Warrant Agreement will impose on any Holder any obligation to purchase any securities of the Company.
(m) Limitation
on Ownership of Warrants, Exercise of Warrants and Shares of Common Stock Deliverable Upon Exercise. The ownership of Warrants, and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the exercise of Warrants and the ownership of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants is subject to the restrictions on ownership and transfer of the Company’s Capital Stock contained in Article VII
of the Charter, including that no Warrant may be owned to the extent that it would result in the Holder of such Warrant or the Common
Stock issuable upon Exercise of such Warrant or any other Person (as defined in the Charter) Beneficially Owning or Constructively Owning
(each, as defined in the Charter) shares of Capital Stock in excess of 9.8%, in value or number of shares, of outstanding shares of any
class or series of Capital Stock of the Company, unless such Holder is an Excepted Holder (as defined in the Charter), in which case such
Excepted Holder may not Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Capital Stock, including Common Stock issuable upon Exercise
of the Warrants in excess of such Excepted Holder’s Excepted Holder Limit (as defined in the Charter).

(i) with respect to the Registrable Securities consisting of (A) Warrants and (B) any shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise of issued and outstanding Warrants, on each Redemption Date on which such Warrants are issued, and (ii) with respect
to the Registrable Securities consisting of the Series C Preferred Stock and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of issued and outstanding shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, not later than ten (10) Business Days after the earlier

in the Investment Agreement), in each case of (A) and (B), for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415
of the Securities Act or any successor thereto registering the resale from time to time by Holders of all of the respective Registrable
Securities held by the Holders (collectively, the “Resale Shelf Registration Statements”). The Company shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the Resale Shelf Registration Statements to become effective as promptly as practicable and not later than
ninety (90) days following the filing thereof. The Resale Shelf Registration Statements shall be on Form S-3 (or, if Form S-3
is not available to be used by the Company at such time, on Form S-11 or another appropriate form permitting Registration of such
Registrable Securities for resale) and such Resale Shelf Registration Statements shall, upon request of a Holder or Maewyn Limited Partner,
cover resales of the applicable Registrable Securities of such Holder or Maewyn Limited Partners. The Company’s obligations to include
the Registrable Securities held by a Holder or Maewyn Limited Partner in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement are contingent upon such
Holder or Maewyn Limited Partner furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding the Holder or Maewyn Limited Partner,
the securities of the Company held by the Holder or Maewyn Limited Partner and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities
as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the Registration of the Registrable Securities, and the Holder or Maewyn Limited
Partner, as the case may be, shall execute such documents in connection with such Registration as the Company may reasonably request that
are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations. Once effective, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statements and Prospectus included therein continuously effective and to be supplemented and amended
to the extent necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, to ensure that another Registration
Statement is available, under the Securities Act at all times until the earliest of (1) the date on which all Registrable Securities
and other securities covered by such Registration Statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution
set forth in such Registration Statement and (2) the date on which all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such
Registration Statement have ceased to be Registrable Securities. The Registration Statement filed with the Commission pursuant to this
Section 2.1(a) shall contain a Prospectus in such form as to permit any Holder or Maewyn Limited Partner to sell such Registrable
Securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission then in
effect) at any time beginning on the effective date for such Registration Statement, and shall provide that such Registrable Securities
may be sold pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, Holders. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Company be permitted to name any Holder or Maewyn Limited Partner, or affiliate
of a Holder or Maewyn Limited Partner, as an “underwriter” in the Registration Statement without the prior written consent
of such Holder or Maewyn Limited Partner.
6
(b) Notification
and Distribution of Materials. The Company shall notify the Holders and Maewyn Limited Partners in writing of the effectiveness of the
Resale Shelf Registration Statement as soon as practicable, and in any event within five (5) Business Days after the Resale Shelf
Registration Statement becomes effective, and shall furnish to them, without charge, such number of copies of the Resale Shelf Registration
Statement (including any amendments, supplements and exhibits), the Prospectus contained therein (including each preliminary Prospectus
and all related amendments and supplements) and any documents incorporated by reference in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or
such other documents as the Holders or Maewyn Limited Partners may reasonably request in order to facilitate the sale of the Registrable
Securities in the manner described in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement (to the extent that any of such documents is not available
on EDGAR).
(c) Amendments
and Supplements. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.1(a) above, the Company shall as soon as reasonably practicable prepare
and file with the Commission from time to time such amendments and supplements to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus
used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions
of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all the Registrable Securities. If any Resale Shelf Registration Statement filed
pursuant to Section 2.1 is filed on Form S-3 and thereafter the Company becomes ineligible to use Form S-3 for secondary
sales, the Company shall promptly notify the Holders and Maewyn Limited Partners of such ineligibility and use its commercially reasonable
efforts to file a shelf registration on an appropriate form as soon as reasonably practicable to replace the shelf registration statement
on Form S-3 and have such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable and
to cause such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement to remain effective, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary
to ensure that such Resale Shelf Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another Resale Shelf Registration Statement
is available, for the resale of all the Registrable Securities held by the Holders and Maewyn Limited Partners until all such Registrable
Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities; provided, however, that at any time the Company once again becomes eligible
to use Form S-3, the Company shall cause such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be amended, or shall file a new
replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement, such that the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is once again on Form S-3.
7
(d) Certain
Undertakings. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall cause (i) each Resale Shelf
Registration Statement (as of the effective date of such Resale Shelf Registration Statement), any amendment thereof (as of the effective
date thereof) or supplement thereto (as of its date), (A) to comply in all material respects with applicable SEC Guidance and (B) not
to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order
to make the statements therein not misleading, and (ii) any related Prospectus (including any preliminary Prospectus) or Issuer Free
Writing Prospectus and any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, as of its date, (A) to comply in all material respects with applicable
SEC Guidance and (B) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided,
however, the Company shall have no such obligations or liabilities with respect to any written information pertaining to any Holder and
furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein. The Company agrees, to the extent
necessary, to supplement or make amendments to each Resale Shelf Registration Statement if required by the registration form used by the
Company for the applicable Registration or by SEC Guidance.
(e) Underwritten
Shelf Takedown. At any time and from time to time after a Resale Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 has been declared effective
by the Commission, any of the Holders may request to sell all or any portion of the Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering
that is registered pursuant to such Resale Shelf Registration Statement (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”). All
requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to the Company, which shall specify the approximate number
of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Promptly upon receiving such notice (but no later than
10 days after receipt of such notice), the Company shall notify all of the Holders of Registrable Securities regarding the potential Underwritten
Shelf Takedown. The Company shall, subject to Section 2.1(f), include in any Underwritten Shelf Takedown the securities requested
to be included by any Holder (each a “Takedown Requesting Holder”) within five (5) days of receipt of notice of
such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Shelf
Takedown under this Section 2.1(e) shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected
for such Underwritten Offering by the Company, with the consent of the Holder who initiated the Underwritten Shelf Takedown.
(f) Reduction
of Underwritten Shelf Takedown. If the managing Underwriter(s) in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, in good faith, advise the Company
or the Takedown Requesting Holders in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Takedown Requesting
Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of the Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to
sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown without
adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such
maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then
the Company shall include in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, as follows: (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Takedown
Requesting Holders who initiated the Underwritten Shelf Takedown, on a pro rata basis, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum
Number of Securities; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause
(i), the Registrable Securities of any other Holder who wish to participate in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, on a pro rata basis,
that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities
has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires
to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.
8
(g) Obligations
of the Company in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown. If at any time the Company is required to effect an Underwritten Offering, the Company
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such Registration to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance
with the intended plan of distribution thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible:
(i) permit
a representative of the Holders, the Underwriter(s), if any, and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriter(s) to
participate, at each such Person’s own expense, in the preparation of the Registration Statement, and cause the Company’s
officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter(s), attorney
or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided, however, that such representatives or Underwriter(s) enter into
a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release or disclosure of any such
information;
(ii) obtain
a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten
Registration, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters as the
managing Underwriter(s) may reasonably request;
(iii) on
the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an opinion, dated such date, of counsel
representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the Underwriter(s), if any, covering such legal matters with
respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the Underwriter(s) may reasonably request and as are
customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters; provided, however, that counsel for the Company shall not be
required to provide any opinions with respect to any Holder;
(iv) in
the event of any Underwritten Offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary
form, with the managing Underwriter(s) of such offering; provided that such underwriting agreement shall not require the Company
or any of its directors and officers to be locked up for any period of time following the date of the underwriting agreement;
9
(v) make
available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12)

thereafter by the Commission); and
(vi) in
connection with an Underwritten Offering, cause its senior management, officers, employees and independent public accountants (in the
case of the independent public accountants, subject to any applicable accounting guidance regarding their participation in the offering
or the due diligence process) to participate in, make themselves available, supply such information as may reasonably be requested and
to otherwise facilitate and cooperate with the preparation of the Registration Statement and Prospectus and any amendments or supplements
thereto (including participating in due diligence sessions) taking into account the Company’s reasonable business needs.
Section 2.2 Piggyback
Registration.
(a) Right
to Piggyback on Primary Offerings. If the Company proposes to file a Piggyback Underwritten Offering Filing under the Securities Act with

securities, for its own account, other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other
benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing securityholders, (iii) on
Form S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto),
(iv) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company, (v) for a dividend reinvestment plan
or (vi) pursuant to a sale of Common Stock by the Company through an “at-the-market” program or an equity line of credit,
then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed offering to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable
but no later than seven (7) days prior to the initial filing date of such Piggyback Underwritten Offering Filing, which notice shall
(A) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and
the name of the proposed managing Underwriter(s), if any, in such offering, and (B) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities
the opportunity to register the sale of the lesser of, on an aggregate basis: (x) a number of Registrable Securities expected to
generate gross proceeds in such offering of $25.0 million and (y) a number of Registrable Securities equal to twenty-five percent
(25%) of the maximum aggregate offering size (the “Piggyback Underwritten Offering Participation Limit”) as
such Holders may request in writing within three (3) days after receipt of such written notice (such Registration, a “Piggyback
Underwritten Offering”). The Piggyback Underwritten Offering Participation Limit shall be calculated by the Company in good
faith and shall be set forth in the notice to Holders. The number of Registrable Securities each Holder will be entitled to sell under
the Piggyback Underwritten Offering Participation Limit will be determined on a pro rata basis, based on the number of Registrable
Securities that each participating Holder has requested to be included in the Piggyback Underwritten Offering. The Company shall, in good
faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering and shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause the managing Underwriter(s) of such offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant
to this subsection 2.2(a) to be included in a Piggyback Underwritten Offering on the same
terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such Registration and to permit the sale or other disposition
of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All such Holders proposing to distribute
their Registrable Securities through a Piggyback Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.2(a) shall enter into an underwriting
agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Piggyback Underwritten Offering by the Company, and shall otherwise
comply with Section 2.5 as a condition to participating in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Section 2.2, the Registrable Securities that may be included in any Piggyback Underwritten Offering shall be limited to securities
of the same class or type as the securities being offered by the Company in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering; provided that, for the
avoidance of doubt, if the Company is conducting a Piggyback Underwritten Offering of shares of Common Stock, Holders shall not be entitled
to include shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock as Registrable Securities in such offering unless such shares have first
been converted into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Articles Supplementary.
10
(b) Holder
Withdrawal Right. Each Holder shall have the right to withdraw its request for inclusion of its Registrable Securities in any Piggyback
Underwritten Offering at any time prior to the execution of an underwriting agreement with respect thereto by giving written notice to
the Company, following which such Holder shall no longer be entitled to participate in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering.
(c) Company
Termination or Delay Right. If at any time after giving written notice of a proposed Piggyback Underwritten Offering pursuant to this
Section 2.2 and prior to the execution of an underwriting agreement with respect thereto, the Company shall determine for any reason
not to proceed with or to delay such Piggyback Underwritten Offering, the Company shall give written notice of such determination to the
Holders that have elected to participate in such offering (which such Holders agree they shall hold in strict confidence) and (i) in
the case of a determination not to proceed, shall be relieved of its obligation to include any Registrable Securities in such Piggyback
Underwritten Offering (but not from any obligation of the Company to pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith), and (ii) in
the case of a determination to delay, shall be permitted to delay inclusion of any Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay
in including the shares of Common Stock to be sold for the Company’s account.
Section 2.3 General
Procedures. If at any time the Company is required to effect the Registration of Registrable Securities, the Company shall use
its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such Registration to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the
intended plan of distribution thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible:
(a) prior
to filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the Underwriters,
if any, and the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration, and such Holders’ legal counsel, copies of such
Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case including all
exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each
preliminary Prospectus), and such other documents as the Underwriters and the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration
or the legal counsel for any such Holders and keep such Holders reasonably informed as to the registration process;
11
(b) prior
to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable
Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United
States as the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution)
may reasonably request and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement
to be registered with or approved by such other Governmental Authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations
of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holders of Registrable Securities
included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions of the United
States; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to (A) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where
it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subsection 2.3(b), or (B) take any action to subject the Company
to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then otherwise so subject; provided that, the Company
shall not be required to register or qualify the Registrable Securities in any jurisdiction if such registration or qualification would
be unduly burdensome, impractical, or if an required exemption is otherwise available;
(c) cause
all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities issued
by the Company are then listed;
(d) advise
each seller of such Registrable Securities, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any
stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding
for such purpose and promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal
if such stop order should be issued;
(e) advise
each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof, of the
time when such Registration Statement has been declared effective (which may be satisfied by the issuance of a press release by the Company);
(f) notify
the Holders at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act,
of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes
a Misstatement, and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 2.6 hereof;
(g) use
reasonable best efforts to obtain a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants
in the event of an Underwritten Offering, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort”
letters as the managing Underwriter(s) may reasonably request;
12
(h) on
the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, use reasonable best efforts to obtain an opinion,
dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the Underwriter(s), if any, covering
such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the Underwriter(s) may reasonably
request and as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters; provided, however, that counsel for the Company
shall not be required to provide any opinions with respect to any Holder;
(i) in
the event of any Underwritten Offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary
form, with the managing Underwriter(s) of such offering; provided that such underwriting agreement shall not require the Company
or any of its directors and officers to be locked up for any period of time following the date of the underwriting agreement;
(j) make
available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12)
months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement
which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated
thereafter by the Commission);
(k) in
connection with an Underwritten Offering, cause its senior management, officers, employees and independent public accountants (in the
case of the independent public accountants, subject to any applicable accounting guidance regarding their participation in the offering
or the due diligence process) to participate in, make themselves available, supply such information as may reasonably be requested and
to otherwise facilitate and cooperate with the preparation of the Registration Statement and Prospectus and any amendments or supplements
thereto (including participating in due diligence sessions) taking into account the Company’s reasonable business needs; and
(l) otherwise,
in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders, to facilitate
the registration and disposition of Registrable Securities.
Section 2.4 Registration
Expenses. All Registration Expenses shall be borne by the Company.
Section 2.5 Requirements
for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. No Holder may participate in any Underwritten
Offering unless such Holder (i) agrees to sell such Holder’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements
approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements,
underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.
Section 2.6 Suspension
of Sales; Adverse Disclosure.
(a) The
Company shall promptly notify each of the Holders in writing if a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement and, upon
receipt of such written notice from the Company, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities
until he, she or it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed or has received copies of a supplemented
or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement, provided that the Company hereby covenants to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare
and file any required supplement or amendment correcting any Misstatement promptly after the time of such notice and, if necessary, to
request the immediate effectiveness thereof.
13
(b) If
the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement or Prospectus included in any Registration Statement at
any time (i) would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, (ii) would require the inclusion in such Registration
Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, (iii) would,
if not delayed or suspended, materially adversely interfere with, or jeopardize the success of, any pending or proposed material transaction,
including any material debt or equity financing, any material acquisition or disposition, any material recapitalization or reorganization
or any other material transaction or (iv) in the good faith judgment of the Board, would materially adversely affect the Company,
the Company shall have the right to defer the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of any Registration Statement pursuant to
(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) for a period of not more than sixty (60) consecutive days; provided, that the Company shall not defer
any such filing, initial effectiveness or use of a Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2.6 for more than two times or
for more than a total of 120 days (in each case counting deferrals initiated pursuant to (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) in the aggregate)
in any 12-month period.
Section 2.7 Limitations
on Registration Rights. The Company shall not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities which is inconsistent
with or violates the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement and in the event of any conflict between
any such agreement or agreements and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.
Section 2.8 Indemnification.
(a) The
Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and agents
and each Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
expenses (including attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration
Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are
caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company shall
indemnify the Underwriter(s), their officers and directors and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) such
Underwriter(s) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Holder.
(b) In
connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to
the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration
Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each
Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) the Company against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses
(including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the
Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue
statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided,
however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the
liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder
from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify
the Underwriter(s), their officers, directors and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) such Underwriter(s) to
the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.
14
(c) Any
Person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect
to which it seeks indemnification (provided, however, that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any Person’s right
to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in
such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment upon written advice of its counsel a conflict of interest between such indemnified
and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. The indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement
made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying
party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more
than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment
of any indemnified party upon written advice of its counsel a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other
of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent
to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money
is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional
term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim
or litigation.
(d) The
indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on
behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer
of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions
as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution (pursuant to Section 2.8(c)) to such party in the event the
Company’s or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.
15
(e) If
the indemnification provided under Section 2.8(a) hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying
party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result
of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying
party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party
and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information
supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder
under this Section 2.8(e) shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving
rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or other liabilities referred
to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 2.8(a), 2.8(b) and 2.8(c) above, any legal
or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.8(e) were determined by pro rata allocation
or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 2.8(e).
No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled
to contribution pursuant to this Section 2.8(e) from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
Section 2.9 Legend
Removal. If any Registrable Securities are at any time eligible to be sold without registration pursuant to Rule 144 (or
any similar provision) under the Securities Act without limitation on the amount of securities sold or the manner of sale and without
compliance with the current public reporting requirements set forth under Rule 144(c), then, at a Holder’s request, the Company
will take such actions necessary, in cooperation with the Company’s transfer agent (including, if required by the Company’s
transfer agent, delivering an opinion of the Company’s counsel, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company’s transfer
agent), to remove any restrictive legend set forth on such certificates.
Section 2.10 Rule 144.
If the Company shall have filed a Registration Statement pursuant to the requirements of Section 12 of the Exchange Act or a Registration
Statement pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act in respect of the Registrable Securities, the Company covenants that (a) so
long as it remains subject to the reporting provisions of the Exchange Act, it will file the reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of
the Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c)(1)(i) of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended
(“Rule 144”) or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any
Holder, make publicly available other information so long as necessary to permit sales by such Holder under Rule 144 or any similar
rules or regulations hereafter adopted by the Commission, and (b) it will take such further action as any Holder may reasonably
request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without Registration under
the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 or (ii) any similar rule or regulation
hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, the Company will deliver to such Holder
a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.
16
Section 2.11 Holdback
Agreements.
(a) If
requested by the managing underwriters of any Underwritten Offering, a Holder shall agree, whether or not it participates in such Underwritten
Offering, as contemplated in this Section 2.11, not to (and to cause its Affiliates not to) sell, transfer, pledge, issue, grant
or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly (including by means of any short sale), or request the registration of, any Registrable
Securities for a period (each such period, a “Holdback Period”) beginning on the third day before the pricing
date for the Underwritten Offering and extending through the earlier of (i) the 90th day after such pricing date and (ii) such
earlier day (if any) as may be designated for this purpose by the managing underwriters for such offering (each such agreement of a Holder,
a “Holdback Agreement”). Each Holdback Agreement shall be in writing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the managing underwriters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder shall not be obligated to enter into a Holdback Agreement unless
(A) the Company and the Company’s executive officers and directors also execute agreements substantially similar to such Holdback
Agreement, (B) the Holdback Period applicable to such Holder is no longer than that which is applicable to the Company or the Company’s
executive officers and directors, and (C) such Holdback Agreement provides, with respect to the Holdback Period, that the underwriters
may not waive the Holdback Period for any other holder of Common Stock unless the Holdback Period is waived to the same extent for such
Holder. A Holdback Agreement shall not apply to any shares of Common Stock included in the Underwritten Offering giving rise to the application
of this Section 2.11.
(b) The
obligations of a Holder under this Section 2.11 shall terminate upon the later of the date on which such Holder (i) ceases to
have a nominee serving on the Board or (ii) Beneficially Owns less than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock.
Article III
BOARD RIGHTS
Section 3.1 Board
Nomination Rights.
(a) The
Board shall, upon written request by the Maewyn Holder and subject to the following provisos, cause one (1) member of the Board to
consist of the nominee designated in writing by the Maewyn Holder, which nominee shall initially be Charles Fitzgerald (such director
appointed in accordance with this sentence, a “Maewyn Holder Director”), in each case no later than fifteen
(15) Business Days following receipt by the Company of all information reasonably requested by the Company from the Maewyn Holder and
such applicable nominee (the “Nomination Period”); provided, however, that (i) the appointment of the Maewyn
Holder Director to the Board shall be subject to a determination by the Board during the Nomination Period that such appointment is not
inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the members of the Board; provided, further, that if the Board makes such a determination in
good faith, the Board shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Maewyn Holder, and the Maewyn Holder shall have the right to
designate a substitute nominee, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.1(a), (ii) in no event shall the appointment of
Charles Fitzgerald to the Board be effective prior to the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 20, 2026, and
the Company shall take such actions to cause such appointment to become effective as soon as practicable following such Annual Meeting
and (iii) in the event that the Initial Closing (as defined in the Investment Agreement) has not occurred by the Initial Closing
Deadline (as defined in the Investment Agreement) as a result of the Maewyn Holder’s failure to fund the purchase of the Initial
Shares (as defined in the Investment Agreement), (A) the Maewyn Holder shall, promptly upon (and in any event within five (5) Business
Days following) receipt of a written request from the Company, cause the Maewyn Holder Director to resign from the Board and (B) the
Maewyn Holder’s right to designate a nominee for appointment to the Board pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall immediately and
automatically terminate, and the Maewyn Holder shall have no further right to designate any substitute or successor nominee to fill the
resulting vacancy or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, the Board has determined that the election of Charles Fitzgerald as the Maewyn
Holder Director is not inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the members of the Board, and the condition in clause (i) of this
Section 3.1(a) is deemed satisfied with respect to his initial appointment.
17
(b) The
Company shall cause the Maewyn Holder Director to be appointed to, and to serve as a member of, the Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee of the Board (or any successor committee with substantially similar responsibilities), subject to applicable law and stock exchange
rules.
(c) Upon
the Maewyn Holder collectively ceasing to Beneficially Own greater than five percent (5%) of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding
shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock or the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants, as applicable) on a fully diluted basis (the “Threshold Amount”), the number of Maewyn Holder Directors
that the Maewyn Holder is entitled to nominate for appointment or election to the Board shall be reduced to zero.
(d) Subject
to the other provisions of this Section 3.1, the Maewyn Holder Director designated for nomination by the Maewyn Holder and elected
or appointed as a member of the Board shall serve as a Maewyn Holder Director until the expiration of his or her term of office, and in
such case the Maewyn Holder may nominate a successor Maewyn Holder Director nominee, subject to the Company’s reasonable approval,
in accordance with this Section 3.1 upon prompt written notice to the Company at least ninety (90) calendar days prior to the one-year
anniversary of the filing of the proxy statement in connection with the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company immediately
preceding the annual meeting for the election of the class of directors in which such Maewyn Holder Director is placed.
(e) In
the event that the number of Maewyn Holder Directors is reduced to zero as a result of a failure to maintain the Threshold Amount, the
Maewyn Holder agrees, promptly upon (and in any event within five (5) Business Days following) receipt of a written request from
the Company, to cause such Maewyn Holder Director to resign from the Board.
(f) In
the event of (i) the resignation, death or removal (including removal for cause) of the Maewyn Holder Director from the Board or
(ii) the Maewyn Holder Director ceasing to be a member of the Board at any time and for any reason (other than as set forth in subsection
(e) above), the Maewyn Holder shall have the right but not the obligation, such determination to be made in its sole discretion,
to designate an individual for election to the Board to fill the resulting vacancy on the Board, which nominee shall be subject to the
Company’s reasonable approval. In the event that the Maewyn Holder chooses not to designate in writing a Maewyn Holder Director
nominee to fill any such resulting vacancy on the Board in accordance with the terms and conditions herein, the resulting vacancy shall
remain until the Maewyn Holder designates a successor Maewyn Holder Director in accordance with this Section 3.1.
18
Section 3.2 Governance
Obligations. The Maewyn Holder shall cause the Maewyn Holder Director to provide to the Company, prior to, and as a condition
of, nomination and appointment and on an on-going basis while serving as a member of the Board, such information and materials, including
completed director and officer questionnaires, as the Company routinely receives from other non-executive members of the Board or as is
required to be disclosed in proxy statements under applicable law, rule or regulation or as is otherwise reasonably requested by
the Company from time to time from all non-executive members of the Board in connection with the governance, legal, regulatory, auditor
or national securities exchange requirements of the Company. The Maewyn Holder Director shall be subject to all codes of conduct and policies
generally applicable to non-executive members of the Board (including, without limitation, the Board Confidentiality Policy), provided
that such Maewyn Holder Director shall not be subject to any code of conduct or other confidentiality policies that are more onerous on
such Maewyn Holder Director than those imposed on each other non-executive member of the Board.
Section 3.3 Reimbursement
of Maewyn Holder Director Expenses. The Company shall reimburse each Maewyn Holder Director for all reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such Maewyn Holder Director’s participation in the meetings of the Board, including
all reasonable and documented travel, lodging and meal expenses, consistent with the Company’s expense reimbursement policies that
apply to other non-executive directors serving on the Board.
Section 3.4 D&O
Insurance; Compensation. Without limiting the rights of the Maewyn Holder Director under the organizational documents of the Company
as in effect from time to time and under applicable law, such Maewyn Holder Director shall be covered as an insured by the Company’s
directors’ and officers’ indemnity insurance coverage on customary terms that are at least as favorable to such Maewyn Holder
Director as the terms of the coverage for other non-executive directors, and the Company shall maintain in full force and effect directors’
and officers’ liability insurance in reasonable amounts from established and reputable insurers to the same extent it provides insurance
for each of the other non-executive directors of the Board. The Maewyn Holder Director shall be entitled to any equity compensation and/or
indemnification (including by entry into any indemnification agreement) available to the other non-executive directors of the Board in
connection with such Maewyn Holder Director’s service on the Board. The Maewyn Holder Director shall be an express third-party beneficiary
of this Section 3.4.
19
Article IV
STANDSTILL
Section 4.1 Standstill
Obligations.
(a) Maewyn
Holder hereby agrees that, until the date on which it ceases to have a Maewyn Holder Director serving on the Board and unless (x) specifically
approved in writing by the Board or (y) if it holds outstanding shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and the Company
has materially breached its obligations or any the terms or conditions of the Articles Supplementary in respect of the rights, privileges
and preferences of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, Maewyn Holder will not in any manner, directly or indirectly: (a) effect

(b) Maewyn
Holder hereby agrees that, until the date on which a Maewyn Holder Director ceases to serve on the Board, unless the Board has provided
its prior written consent, Maewyn Holder shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, enter into any short
sale, “put equivalent position” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act), equity swap, total return
swap, or any other hedging, derivative or similar transaction that is designed to, or could reasonably be expected to, result in the sale,
transfer or other disposition, in whole or in part, of any of the economic consequences of ownership of the equity securities of the Company,
whether such transaction is settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash, or otherwise.

If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public
policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic
or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination
that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith
to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in
order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
Section 6.3 Termination;
Failure to Purchase Shares under Investment Agreement.
(a) Article Two
of this Agreement shall terminate, with respect to each Holder, upon the date on which such Holder no longer holds any Registrable Securities.
(b) Subject
to the terms and conditions in the Investment Agreement, in the event that the Maewyn Holder fails to purchase all or any of its portion
of Shares pursuant to any Initial Funding Request or Subsequent Funding Request (as those terms are defined in the Investment Agreement)
submitted in accordance with Section 1.02 of the Investment Agreement by close of business on the date specified in the Initial Funding
Request or Subsequent Funding Request, as applicable, the Company will provide notice to the Maewyn Holder of the default. If such default
of the Maewyn Holder’s obligation to purchase Shares remains uncured for fifteen (15) calendar days following the date such notice
is sent, then as of the next Business Day, all of the Maewyn Holder’s rights and the Company’s obligations under Section 3.1
and Article V of this Agreement shall immediately be suspended for a period of fifteen (15) calendar days, and if the Maewyn Holder’s
obligation to purchase Shares remains uncured for such fifteen (15) calendar day period, then as of the next Business Day (provided,
that, for the avoidance of doubt, for so long as such Holder holds any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, curing such default before
or within such fifteen (15) calendar day period will terminate the related Termination Event and this Section 6.3 will be of no force
and effect with respect to such default), all of the Maewyn Holder’s rights and the Company’s obligations under Section 3.1
and Article V of this Agreement shall immediately terminate; provided, however, the Maewyn Holder shall not be obligated
to cause its Board nominee, if previously elected or appointed to the Board, to resign from the Board solely as a result of the termination
of its rights under Section 3.1 pursuant to this Section 6.3.
Section 6.4 Entire
Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof
and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject
matter hereof.
This Agreement shall not be
assigned by any party without the prior express written consent of the other parties hereto; provided, however, that any merger, consolidation,
share exchange or similar business combination transaction involving the Company shall not require the consent of the Holders under this
Agreement; provided, that if such transaction constitutes a Share Transaction, such transaction is executed in accordance with Section 6.12
of this Agreement.
22
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Holders may transfer or assign all or any portion of the rights provided in this Agreement, subject to this Section 6.4, in connection
with the transfer of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the Company; provided that
(a) such transfer of the Registrable Securities itself were permitted and (b) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing
with the Company to be bound by this Agreement as fully as if it were an initial signatory hereto pursuant to a written instrument in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and any such transferee may thereafter make corresponding assignments in accordance
with this Section 6.4; provided further, that the Maewyn Holder may not assign its rights under Article III or Article V
of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company. Any Person who becomes party to this Agreement by executing the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A will be deemed a “Holder” for all purposes hereunder and shall be added to Schedule
A hereto.
Section 6.5 Parties
in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto (and its respective permitted
assigns), and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or
remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
Section 6.6 Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts
made and to be performed entirely within such State. Each of the parties hereto agrees (a) to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction
of the State or Federal courts in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, (b) that exclusive jurisdiction and venue shall
lie in the State or Federal courts in the State of New York, and (c) that notice may be served upon such party at the address and
in the manner set forth for such party in Section 5.1 hereof.
Section 6.7 Waiver
of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE
TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. EACH
OF THE PARTIES HERETO (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE,
THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THAT FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AS APPLICABLE,
BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 6.7.
23
Section 6.8 Headings;
Interpretation. The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall
not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting
of this Agreement. If any ambiguity or question of intent arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties
and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party because of the authorship of any provision of this
Agreement. Unless the context of this Agreement clearly requires otherwise, use of the masculine gender shall include the feminine and
neutral genders and vice versa, and the definitions of terms contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the
plural forms of such terms. The words “includes” or “including” shall mean “including without limitation.”
The words “hereof,” “hereby,” “herein,” “hereunder” and similar terms in this Agreement
shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not any particular section or article in which such words appear, the word “extent”
in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends and such phrase shall not mean
simply “if.” Any reference to a law shall include any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and shall mean such
law as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented. References herein to any contract (including this Agreement) mean such contract
as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof.
Section 6.9 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or portable document format (pdf.) transmission) in counterparts,
and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of
which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
Section 6.10 Specific
Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not
performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition
to any other remedy at law or in equity. Each of the parties hereby further waives (i) any defense in any action for specific performance
that a remedy at law would be adequate and (ii) any requirement under any law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite to obtaining
equitable relief.
Section 6.11 Expenses.
Except as otherwise provided herein, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.
Section 6.12 Recapitalization.
The provisions of this Agreement shall apply to the full extent set forth herein with respect to any and all equity securities (if any)
of the Company or any successor or assign of the Company (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets, share exchange or other business
combination transaction or otherwise) which, in each case, may be issued in respect of, in conversion of, in exchange for or in substitution
of, the Registrable Securities (a “Share Transaction”) and shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividends,
splits, reverse splits, combinations, recapitalizations and the like occurring after the date hereof. In the event of a Share Transaction,
the Company shall cause any successor or assign (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets, share exchange or other business combination
transaction or otherwise) to assume this Agreement or enter into a new registration rights agreement with the Holders on terms substantially
the same as this Agreement as a condition of any such transaction, unless in each case, the equity securities received by the Holders
are freely tradeable immediately following the Share Transaction.
24
Section 6.13 Amendments
and Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid and binding unless it is in writing and signed by
each of (a) the Company and (b) either (x) the Holders representing at least 50% (by number) of the Registrable Securities
(with each share of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of the Warrants counting as one Registrable Security for this purpose),
provided that such amendment includes the Maewyn Holder; or (y) the Maewyn Holder. No waiver of any right or remedy hereunder,
to the extent legally allowed, shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the party making such waiver. No waiver
by any party of any breach or violation of, default under, or inaccuracy in any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement hereunder,
whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent breach, violation, default of, or inaccuracy in, any
such representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent
such occurrence. No delay or omission on the part of any party in exercising any right, power, or remedy under this Agreement shall operate
as a waiver thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendments may be made to this Agreement that adversely affect the rights of a
Holder disproportionately as compared with those of other Holders hereunder without the prior written consent of such Holder.
Section 6.14 No
Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their
mutual intent and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party.
