1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
April 1, 2026, Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities
Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors (the “Investors”) under which the Company agreed to issue
and sell convertible notes for an aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 (the “Notes”) that will be convertible into shares
of the Company’s common stock, par value of $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”).
The
Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants. The Notes contain customary affirmative and
negative covenants, including certain limitations on debt, liens, restricted payments, asset transfers, changes in the business and transactions
with affiliates. The Notes also contain standard and customary events of default.
No
Note may be converted to the extent that such conversion would cause a holder of such Note to become the beneficial owner of more than
4.99% of the then outstanding Common Stock, after giving effect to such conversion (the “Beneficial Ownership Cap”).
The
Notes bear interest at an interest rate of 4.5% per annum except that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default,
interest will accrue on the Notes at an interest rate of 13% per annum. Unless earlier converted, the Notes will mature on the eighteen-month
anniversary of their issuance dates at a premium to 13% to the face value of the Notes.
At
any time after the issuance date, all amounts due under the Notes are convertible, in whole or in part, and subject to the Beneficial
Ownership Cap, at a conversion price equal to $0.40, which is subject to customary adjustments upon any stock split, stock dividend,
stock combination, recapitalization or similar events. Starting on the closing date, the Notes amortize quarterly. We will make quarterly
payments on the first trading day of each three-month anniversary commencing on the closing date through the maturity date, payable in
cash. The Notes will rank senior to the right to payment of the holders of our unsecured debt, subject to certain exceptions.
The
Notes and shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes are being offered and sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement filed in connection
with a “takedown” from the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-275843) declared effective
on December 12, 2023.
The
foregoing descriptions of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Notes are not complete and are qualified in its entirety by reference
to the full text of those agreements, copies of which are included as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 hereto, and incorporated by reference herein.
An opinion of counsel regarding the validity of the securities being issued and sold by the Company in the transactions described in
the Securities Purchase Agreement is filed as Exhibit 5.1.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Ocean
Power Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation for filing
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of a prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus
Supplement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), related to the Company’s
shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-275843) (as amended, the “Registration Statement”).
The Prospectus Supplement relates to the issuance by the Company of up to $10,000,000 of aggregate principal amount of Series C-1 Senior
Convertible Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”) and the shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the
Company initially issuable upon conversion of the Notes (the “Conversion Shares” and, together with the Notes,
the “Securities”), pursuant to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus Supplement.
For purposes of the opinions we
express below, we have examined the originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified, of: (i) the Certificate of Incorporation and
Bylaws, each as amended to date, of the Company; (ii) the Registration Statement; (iii) the Prospectus Supplement; and (v) the corporate
records of the Company, including minute books of the Company, certificates of public officials and of representatives of the Company,
statutes and other instruments and documents as we considered appropriate for purposes of the opinions hereafter expressed. In giving
such opinions, we have relied upon certificates of officers of the Company and of public officials with respect to the accuracy of the
material factual matters contained in such certificates. In giving the opinions below, we have assumed that the signatures on all documents
examined by us are genuine, that all documents submitted to us as originals are accurate and complete, that all documents submitted to
us as copies are true and correct copies of the originals thereof and that all information submitted to us was accurate and complete.
In making our examination, we
have assumed and have not verified (i) that all signatures on documents examined by us are genuine, (ii) the legal capacity of all natural
persons, (iii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and (iv) the conformity to the original documents of all
documents submitted to us as copies thereof.
Ocean Power Technologies, Inc.
April 1, 2026
Page 2
Based on the foregoing, and subject
to the assumptions, exceptions and qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that, when (i) the Prospectus Supplement has
been delivered and filed as required by such laws; (ii) the board of directors of the Company has taken all necessary corporate action
to authorize the issuance of the Notes and the Conversion Shares and related matters; and (iii) the Notes have been duly executed, authenticated,
issued and delivered as contemplated by the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, then (a) the Notes will constitute the valid and
legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, and (b) the Conversion Shares
have been duly authorized and, when issued by the Company upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes, will
be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
Our opinion set forth above in
clause (a) above is subject to and limited by the effect of (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance and transfer,
receivership, conservatorship, arrangement, moratorium and other similar laws affecting or relating to the rights of creditors generally,
(ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) requirements of reasonableness, good
faith, materiality and fair dealing and the discretion of the court before which any matter may be brought.
The opinions expressed herein
are limited to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the federal securities laws of the United States of America.
We hereby consent to the filing
of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K. We also consent to the references to our Firm under
the heading “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus Supplement. In giving this consent, we do not hereby admit we are in the category
of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Porter Hedges LLP

of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign entity to do business and is in good standing (if a good standing concept exists in
such jurisdiction) in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such

or (iii) the authority or ability of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to perform any of their respective obligations under any

the business, operations or administration of such Person, and each of the foregoing, is individually referred to herein as a “Subsidiary”.
(b)
Authorization; Enforcement; Validity. The Company has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations
under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and to issue the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof.
The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by the Company, and the consummation by the Company
of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Notes and the reservation for
issuance and issuance of the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes) have been duly authorized by the Company’s
board of directors (other than (i) the filing with the SEC of (A) the 8-K Filing (as defined below), (B) a prospectus supplement in connection
with the Closing as required by the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act (the “Prospectus Supplement”)
supplementing the base prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement (the “Prospectus”)), (C) the filing of
a Supplemental Listing Application (as defined below) with the Principal Market (as defined below) and (D) any other filings as may be
required by any state securities agencies (collectively, the “Required Approvals”) and no further filing, consent
or authorization is required by the Company, its board of directors or its stockholders or other governing body. This Agreement has been,
and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party will be prior to the Closing, duly executed and delivered by the Company,
and each constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its
respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’
rights and remedies and except as rights to indemnification and to contribution may be limited by federal or state securities law. “Transaction
Documents” means, collectively, this Agreement, the Notes, the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions (as defined below),
and each of the other agreements and instruments entered into or delivered by any of the parties hereto in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, as may be amended from time to time.
3
(c)
Issuance of Securities; Registration Statement. The issuance of the Notes are duly authorized and upon issuance in accordance
with the terms of the Transaction Documents shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all preemptive or similar
rights, mortgages, defects, claims, liens, pledges, charges, taxes, rights of first refusal, encumbrances, security interests and other
encumbrances (collectively “Liens”) with respect to the issuance thereof. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall
have reserved from its duly authorized capital stock not less than the Required Reserve Amount (as defined below). Upon issuance or conversion
in accordance with the Notes, the Conversion Shares, when issued, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from
all preemptive or similar rights or Liens with respect to the issue thereof, with the holders being entitled to all rights accorded to
a holder of Common Stock. The issuance by the Company of the Securities has been registered under the 1933 Act, the Securities are being
issued pursuant to the Registration Statement and all of the Securities are freely transferable and freely tradable by each of the Buyers
without restriction, whether by way of registration or some exemption therefrom. The Registration Statement is effective and available
for the issuance of the Securities thereunder and the Company has not received any notice that the SEC has issued or intends to issue
a stop-order with respect to the Registration Statement or that the SEC otherwise has suspended or withdrawn the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement, either temporarily or permanently, or intends or has threatened in writing to do so. The “Plan of Distribution”
section under the Registration Statement permits the issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder and as contemplated by the other Transaction
Documents. Upon receipt of the Securities, each of the Buyers will have good and marketable title to the Securities. The Registration
Statement and any prospectus included therein, including the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, complied in all material respects
with the requirements of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder and all other applicable
laws and regulations. At the time the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto became effective, at the date of this Agreement
and at each deemed effective date thereof pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) of the 1933 Act, the Registration Statement and any amendments
thereto complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and did not and will not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading. The Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto (including, without limitation the Prospectus Supplement),
at the time the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto was issued and at the Closing Date, complied, and will comply, in all
material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and did not, and will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading. The Company meets all of the requirements for the use of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act for the offering and sale
of the Securities contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and the SEC has not notified the Company of any
objection to the use of the form of the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 401(g)(1) under the 1933 Act. The Registration Statement
meets the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(x) under the 1933 Act. At the earliest time after the filing of the Registration Statement
that the Company or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) under the 1933 Act) relating
to any of the Securities, the Company was not and is not an “Ineligible Issuer” (as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act).
The Registration Statement has been filed with the SEC not earlier than three years prior to the
date hereof; and no notice of objection of the SEC to the use of such registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto
pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the 1933 Act has been received by the Company. No order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement has been issued by the SEC and no proceeding for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the 1933 Act against the Company
or related to the offering has been initiated or threatened by the SEC; as of the effective time of the Registration Statement, the Registration
Statement complied and will comply in all material respects with the 1933 Act and did not contain and will not contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein
not misleading; and as of the date of the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto and as of such applicable Closing Date,
the Prospectus did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
provided that the Company makes no representation and warranty with respect to any statements or omissions in the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating
to any underwriter or placement agent furnished to the Company in writing by such underwriter or placement agent expressly for use therein.
The Company (i) has not distributed any offering material in connection with the offer or sale of any of the Securities and (ii) until
no Buyer holds any of the Securities, shall not distribute any offering material in connection with the offer or sale of any of the Securities
to, or by, any of the Buyers (if required), in each case, other than the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement.
In accordance with Rule 5110(b)(7)(C)(i) of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Manual, the offering of the Securities has been
registered with the SEC on Form S-3 under the 1933 Act pursuant to the standards for Form S-3 in effect prior to October 21, 1992, and
the Securities are being offered pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the 1933 Act.

(d)
No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and its Subsidiaries and the
consummation by the Company and its Subsidiaries of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation,
the issuance of the Notes, the Conversion Shares and the reservation for issuance of the Conversion Shares) will not (i) result in a
violation of the Certificate of Incorporation (as defined below) (including, without limitation, any certificate of designation contained
therein), Bylaws (as defined below), certificate of formation, memorandum of association, articles of association, bylaws or other organizational
documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any capital stock or other securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
(ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) in any respect
under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument
to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment
or decree (including, without limitation, foreign, federal and state securities laws and regulations and the rules and regulations of
the NYSE American (the “Principal Market”) and including all applicable foreign, federal and state laws, rules and
regulations) applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
is bound or affected, assuming, with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii) above, the receipt of the Required Approvals and except in the
case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such breaches, violations or conflicts as would not reasonably be expected, individually or
in the aggregate, to results in a Material Adverse Effect.
(e)
Consents. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is required to obtain any consent from, authorization or order of, or make any
filing or registration with (other than the Required Approvals), any Governmental Entity (as defined below) or any regulatory or self-regulatory
agency or any other Person in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its respective obligations under or contemplated by
the Transaction Documents, in each case, in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof. All consents, authorizations, orders, filings
and registrations which the Company or any Subsidiary is required to obtain pursuant to the preceding sentence have been or will be obtained

that would cause this offering of the Securities to require approval of stockholders of the Company under any applicable stockholder

(i)
Dilutive Effect. The Company understands and acknowledges that the number of Conversion Shares will increase in certain circumstances.
The Company further acknowledges that its obligation to issue the Conversion Shares pursuant to the terms of the Notes in accordance

have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, interested stockholder, business

(k)
SEC Documents; Financial Statements. During the two (2) years prior to the date hereof, the Company has timely filed all reports,
schedules, forms, proxy statements, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC (other than Section 16 ownership
filings) pursuant to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof and all exhibits
and appendices included therein and financial statements, notes and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein
being hereinafter referred to as the “SEC Documents”). The Company has delivered or has made available to the Buyers
or their respective representatives true, correct and complete copies of each of the SEC Documents not available on the EDGAR system.
As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules
and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were
filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As
of their respective dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with
applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect as of the time
of filing. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”),
consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes
thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary
statements) and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof and the results
of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments
which will not be material, either individually or in the aggregate). The reserves, if any, established by the Company or the lack of
reserves, if applicable, are reasonable based upon facts and circumstances known by the Company on the date hereof and there are no loss
contingencies that are required to be accrued by the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 5 of the Financial Accounting Standards
Board which are not provided for by the Company in its financial statements or otherwise. No other information provided by or on behalf
of the Company to any of the Buyers which is not included in the SEC Documents (including, without limitation, information in the disclosure
schedules to this Agreement) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order
to make the statements therein not misleading, in the light of the circumstance under which they are or were made. The Company is not
currently contemplating to amend or restate any of the financial statements (including, without limitation, any notes or any letter of
the independent auditors of the Company with respect thereto) included in the SEC Documents (the “Financial Statements”),
nor is the Company currently aware of facts or circumstances which would require the Company to amend or restate any of the Financial
Statements, in each case, in order for any of the Financial Statements to be in compliance with GAAP and the rules and regulations of
the SEC. The Company has not been informed by its independent auditors that they recommend that the Company amend or restate any of the
Financial Statements or that there is any need for the Company to amend or restate any of the Financial Statements.

(l)
Absence of Certain Changes. Since the date of the Company’s most recent audited financial statements contained in a Form
10-K, there has been no material adverse change and no material adverse development in the business, assets, liabilities, properties,
operations (including results thereof), condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Since
the date of the Company’s most recent audited financial statements contained in a Form 10-K, neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries has (i) declared or paid any dividends, (ii) sold any assets, individually or in the aggregate, outside of the ordinary
course of business or (iii) made any capital expenditures, individually or in the aggregate, outside of the ordinary course of business.
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any steps to seek protection pursuant to any law or statute relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, receivership, liquidation or winding up, nor does the Company or any Subsidiary have any knowledge or reason
to believe that any of their respective creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any actual knowledge of any
fact which would reasonably lead a creditor to do so. The Company and its Subsidiaries, individually and on a consolidated basis, are
not as of the date hereof, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby to occur at the Closing, will not be Insolvent
(as defined below). For purposes of this Section 3(l), “Insolvent” means, (i) with respect to the Company and its
Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, (A) the present fair saleable value of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ assets
is less than the amount required to pay the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ total Indebtedness (as defined below), (B) the
Company and its Subsidiaries are unable to pay their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and
liabilities become absolute and matured or (C) the Company and its Subsidiaries intend to incur or believe that they will incur debts
that would be beyond their ability to pay as such debts mature; and (ii) with respect to the Company and each Subsidiary, individually,
(A) the present fair saleable value of the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s (as the case may be) assets is less than the amount
required to pay its respective total Indebtedness, (B) the Company or such Subsidiary (as the case may be) is unable to pay its respective
debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured or (C) the Company
or such Subsidiary (as the case may be) intends to incur or believes that it will incur debts that would be beyond its respective ability
to pay as such debts mature. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in any business or in any transaction, and is
not about to engage in any business or in any transaction, for which the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s remaining assets
constitute unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and
is proposed to be conducted.
(m)
No Undisclosed Events, Liabilities, Developments or Circumstances. No event, liability, development or circumstance has occurred
or exists, or is reasonably expected to exist or occur, with respect to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
businesses, properties, liabilities, prospects, operations (including results thereof) or condition (financial or otherwise), that (i)
would be required to be disclosed by the Company under applicable securities laws on a registration statement on Form S-1 filed with
the SEC relating to an issuance and sale by the Company of its Common Stock and which has not been publicly announced, (ii) could have
a material adverse effect on any Buyer’s investment hereunder or (iii) could have a Material Adverse Effect.
8
(n)
Conduct of Business; Regulatory Permits. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any term of or in
default under its Certificate of Incorporation, any certificate of designation, preferences or rights of any other outstanding series
of preferred stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Bylaws or their organizational charter, certificate of formation, memorandum
of association, articles of association, Certificate of Incorporation or certificate of incorporation or bylaws, respectively. Neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any judgment, decree or order or any statute, ordinance, rule or regulation
applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will conduct its business in
violation of any of the foregoing, except in all cases for possible violations which could not, individually or in the aggregate, have
a Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and except as set forth on Schedule 3(n), the Company
is not in violation of any of the rules, regulations or requirements of the Principal Market and has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances
that could reasonably lead to delisting or suspension of the Common Stock by the Principal Market in the foreseeable future. During the
two years prior to the date hereof, (i) the Common Stock has been listed or designated for quotation on the Principal Market, (ii) trading
in the Common Stock has not been suspended by the SEC or the Principal Market and (iii) the Company has received no communication, written
or oral, from the SEC or the Principal Market regarding the suspension or delisting of the Common Stock from the Principal Market. The
Company and each of its Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate regulatory authorities
necessary to conduct their respective businesses, except where the failure to possess such certificates, authorizations or permits would
not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has received any
notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate, authorization or permit. There is no agreement,
commitment, judgment, injunction, order or decree binding upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or to which the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries is a party which has or would reasonably be expected to have the effect of prohibiting or materially impairing any
business practice of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any acquisition of property by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or
the conduct of business by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as currently conducted other than such effects, individually or in
the aggregate, which have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries.
(o)
Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company, the Company’s subsidiary or any director, officer, agent, employee, nor
any other person acting for or on behalf of the foregoing (individually and collectively, a “Company Affiliate”) have
violated the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended (the “FCPA”), or any other applicable anti-bribery
or anti-corruption laws, nor has any Company Affiliate offered, paid, promised to pay, or authorized the payment of any money, or offered,
given, promised to give, or authorized the giving of anything of value, to any officer, employee or any other person acting in an official
capacity for any Governmental Entity to any political party or official thereof or to any candidate for political office (individually
and collectively, a “Government Official”) or to any person under circumstances where such Company Affiliate knew
or was aware of a high probability that all or a portion of such money or thing of value would be offered, given or promised, directly
or indirectly, to any Government Official, for the purpose of:
(i)
(A) influencing any act or decision of such Government Official in his/her official capacity, (B) inducing such Government Official to
do or omit to do any act in violation of his/her lawful duty, (C) securing any improper advantage, or (D) inducing such Government Official
to influence or affect any act or decision of any Governmental Entity, or

Transactions With Affiliates. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, no current or former employee, partner, director, officer
or stockholder (direct or indirect) of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or any associate, or, to the knowledge of the Company, any affiliate
of any thereof, or any relative with a relationship no more remote than first cousin of any of the foregoing, is presently, or has ever
been, (i) a party to any transaction with the Company or its Subsidiaries (including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing
for the furnishing of services by, or rental of real or personal property from, or otherwise requiring payments to, any such director,
officer or stockholder or such associate or affiliate or relative Subsidiaries (other than for ordinary course services as employees,
officers or directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries)) or (ii) the direct or indirect owner of an interest in any corporation,
firm, association or business organization which is a competitor, supplier or customer of the Company or its Subsidiaries (except for

an Eligible Market (as defined in the Notes)), nor does any such Person receive income from any source other than the Company or its
Subsidiaries which relates to the business of the Company or its Subsidiaries or should properly accrue to the Company or its Subsidiaries.
No employee, officer, stockholder or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or member of his or her immediate family is indebted
to the Company or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, nor is the Company or any of its Subsidiaries indebted (or committed to make
loans or extend or guarantee credit) to any of them, other than (i) for payment of salary for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for
reasonable expenses incurred on behalf of the Company, and (iii) for other standard employee benefits made generally available to all
employees or executives (including stock option agreements outstanding under any stock option plan approved by the Board of Directors

(t)
Litigation. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, there is no action, suit, arbitration, proceeding, inquiry or investigation
before or by the Principal Market, any court, public board, other Governmental Entity, self-regulatory organization or body pending or,
to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Common Stock or any of the
Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ officers or directors, whether of a civil or criminal nature or otherwise, in their capacities
as such, which is outside of the ordinary course of business or individually or in the aggregate material to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries. No director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has willfully violated 18 U.S.C. §1519
or engaged in spoliation in reasonable anticipation of litigation. Without limitation of the foregoing, there has not been, and to the
knowledge of the Company, there is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the SEC involving the Company, any of its Subsidiaries
or any current or former director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The SEC has not issued any stop order or other
order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, including,
without limitation, the Registration Statement. To the knowledge of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer
and General Counsel, after reasonable inquiry, the Company is not aware of any fact which might result in or form the basis for any such
action, suit, arbitration, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to
any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any Governmental Entity.
(u)
Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such
losses and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the
Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought
or applied for, and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will be unable to renew its existing
insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue
its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
(v)
Employee Relations. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any collective bargaining agreement or employs
any member of a union. The Company and its Subsidiaries believe that their relations with their employees are good. No current (or former)
executive officer (as defined in Rule 501(f) promulgated under the 1933 Act) or other key employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
has notified the Company or any such Subsidiary that such officer intends to leave the Company or any such Subsidiary or otherwise terminate
such officer’s employment with the Company or any such Subsidiary. No current (or former) executive officer or other key employee
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract,
confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any
restrictive covenant, and the continued employment of each such executive officer or other key employee (as the case may be) does not
subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries
are in compliance with all federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting labor, employment and employment practices
and benefits, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where failure to be in compliance would not, either individually
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(w)
Title.
(i)
Real Property. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries holds good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, as applicable,
all real property, leases in real property, facilities or other interests in real property owned or held by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries (the “Real Property”) owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as applicable). The Real Property
is free and clear of all Liens and is not subject to any rights of way, building use restrictions, exceptions, variances, reservations,
or limitations of any nature except for (a) Liens for current taxes not yet due and (b) zoning laws and other land use restrictions that
do not impair the present or anticipated use of the property subject thereto. Any Real Property held under lease by the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not
interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
13
(ii)
Fixtures and Equipment. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries (as applicable) has good title to, or a valid leasehold interest
in, the tangible personal property, equipment, improvements, fixtures, and other personal property and appurtenances that are used by
the Company or its Subsidiary in connection with the conduct of its business (the “Fixtures and Equipment”). The Fixtures
and Equipment are structurally sound, are in good operating condition and repair, are adequate for the uses to which they are being put,
are not in need of maintenance or repairs except for ordinary, routine maintenance and repairs and are sufficient for the conduct of
the Company’s and/or its Subsidiaries’ businesses (as applicable) in the manner as conducted prior to the Closing. Each of
the Company and its Subsidiaries owns all of its Fixtures and Equipment free and clear of all Liens except for (a) liens for current
taxes not yet due and (b) zoning laws and other land use restrictions that do not impair the present or anticipated use of the property
subject thereto.
(x)

and registrations therefor (“Intellectual Property Rights”) necessary to conduct their respective businesses as now
conducted and presently proposed to be conducted. Each of the patents owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is listed on Schedule
3(x). None of the Company’s Intellectual Property Rights have expired or terminated or have been abandoned or are expected
to expire or terminate or are expected to be abandoned, within three years from the date of this Agreement. The Company does not have
any knowledge of any infringement by the Company or its Subsidiaries of Intellectual Property Rights of others. There is no claim, action
or proceeding being made or brought, or to the knowledge of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, being threatened, against the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries regarding its Intellectual Property Rights. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is aware of any
facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing infringements or claims, actions or proceedings. The Company and
its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their Intellectual
Property Rights.
(y)
Environmental Laws. (i) The Company and its Subsidiaries (A) are in compliance with any and all Environmental Laws (as defined
below), (B) have received all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their
respective businesses and (C) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval, except where,
in each of the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the failure to so comply or have such permits, licenses or other approval, as applicable,
could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The term “Environmental
Laws” means all federal, state, local or foreign laws relating to pollution or protection of human health or the environment
(including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata), including, without limitation,
laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of chemicals, pollutants, contaminants, or toxic or hazardous
substances or wastes (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) into the environment, or otherwise relating to the manufacture,
processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials, as well as all authorizations,
codes, decrees, demands or demand letters, injunctions, judgments, licenses, notices or notice letters, orders, permits, plans or regulations
issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder.

(ii)
No Hazardous Materials:
(A)
have been disposed of or otherwise released from any Real Property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in violation of any Environmental
Laws; or
(B)
are present on, over, beneath, in or upon any Real Property or any portion thereof in quantities that would constitute a violation of
any Environmental Laws. No prior use by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any Real Property has occurred that violates any Environmental
Laws, which violation would have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(iii)
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries knows of any other person who or entity which has stored, treated, recycled, disposed
of or otherwise located on any Real Property any Hazardous Materials, including, without limitation, such substances as asbestos and
polychlorinated biphenyls.

other tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has timely paid all taxes and other

except those being contested in good faith and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all
taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material
amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries know of no
basis for any such claim. The Company is not operated in such a manner as to qualify as a passive foreign investment company, as defined
in Section 1297 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The net operating loss carryforwards
(“NOLs”) for United States federal income tax purposes of the consolidated group of which the Company is the common
parent, if any, shall not be adversely effected by the transactions contemplated hereby. The transactions contemplated hereby do not
constitute an “ownership change” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Code, thereby preserving the Company’s ability
to utilize such NOLs.
15
(bb)
Internal Accounting and Disclosure Controls. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries
maintains internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the 1934 Act) that is effective
to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, including that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with
management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset and liability accountability, (iii) access to assets or incurrence of liabilities
is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets
and liabilities is compared with the existing assets and liabilities at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect
to any difference. The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the 1934
Act) that are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits
under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC,
including, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in
the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including
its principal executive officer or officers and its principal financial officer or officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received
any notice or correspondence from any accountant, Governmental Entity or other Person relating to any potential material weakness or
significant deficiency in any part of the internal controls over financial reporting of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(cc)
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements. There is no transaction, arrangement, or other relationship between the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries and an unconsolidated or other off balance sheet entity that is required to be disclosed by the Company in its 1934 Act
filings and is not so disclosed or that otherwise could be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

or selling, long and/or short) any securities of the Company, or “derivative” securities based on securities issued by the
Company or to hold any of the Securities for any specified term; (ii) any Buyer, and counterparties in “derivative” transactions
to which any such Buyer is a party, directly or indirectly, presently may have a “short” position in the Common Stock which

shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counterparty in any “derivative”
transaction; and (iv) each Buyer may rely on the Company’s obligation to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon conversion
or exchange, as applicable, of the Securities as and when required pursuant to the Transaction Documents for purposes of effecting trading
in the Common Stock of the Company. Subject to Section 4(x), the Company further understands and acknowledges that following the public
disclosure of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents pursuant to the 8-K Filings one or more Buyers may engage in
hedging and/or trading activities (including, without limitation, the location and/or reservation of borrowable shares of Common Stock)
at various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, including, without limitation, during the periods that the value
and/or number of the Conversion Shares deliverable with respect to the Securities are being determined and such hedging and/or trading
activities (including, without limitation, the location and/or reservation of borrowable shares of Common Stock), if any, can reduce
the value of the existing stockholders’ equity interest in the Company both at and after the time the hedging and/or trading activities
are being conducted. The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging and/or trading activities do not constitute a breach of
this Agreement, the Notes or any other Transaction Document or any of the documents executed in connection herewith or therewith.

of any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority, internal policies and contractual obligations relating to the privacy
and security of IT Systems and Personal Data and to the protection of such IT Systems and Personal Data from unauthorized use, access,

Registration Rights. No holder of securities of the Company has rights to the registration of any securities of the Company because
of the filing of the Registration Statement or the issuance of the Securities hereunder that could expose the Company to material liability
or any Buyer to any liability or that could impair the Company’s ability to consummate the issuance and sale of the Securities
in the manner, and at the times, contemplated hereby, which rights have not been waived by the holder thereof as of the date hereof.
(xx)

other Transaction Documents. The Company understands and confirms that each of the Buyers will rely on the foregoing representations
in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All disclosure provided to the Buyers regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries,
their businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the schedules to this Agreement, furnished by or on behalf of the

correct in all material respects as of the date on which such information is so provided and will not contain any untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading. Each press release issued by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries during the twelve (12)
months preceding the date of this Agreement did not at the time of release 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 the light of the circumstances
under which they are made, not misleading. No event or circumstance has occurred or information exists with respect to the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries or its or their business, properties, liabilities, prospects, operations (including results thereof) or conditions
(financial or otherwise), which, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure at or before the date hereof or
announcement by the Company but which has not been so publicly disclosed. All financial projections and forecasts that have been prepared
by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and made available to you have been prepared in good faith based upon reasonable
assumptions and represented, at the time each such financial projection or forecast was delivered to each Buyer, the Company’s
best estimate of future financial performance (it being recognized that such financial projections or forecasts are not to be viewed
as facts and that the actual results during the period or periods covered by any such financial projections or forecasts may differ from
the projected or forecasted results). The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Buyer makes or has made any representations or warranties
with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 2.

not file with the SEC any amendment to the Registration Statement that relates to the Buyer, this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or file with the SEC any Prospectus Supplement that relates to the Buyer,
this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby with respect to which (a) the Buyer
shall not previously have been advised, (b) the Company shall not have given due consideration to any comments thereon received from
the Buyer or its counsel, or (c) the Buyer shall reasonably object after being so advised, unless the Company reasonably has determined
that it is necessary to amend the Registration Statement or make any supplement to the Prospectus to comply with the 1933 Act or any
other applicable law or regulation, in which case the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than 24 hours) so inform the Buyer,
the Buyer shall be provided with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon any disclosure relating to the Buyer and the Company
shall expeditiously furnish to the Buyer an electronic copy thereof. In addition, for so long as, in the reasonable opinion of counsel
for the Buyer, the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the 1933 Act) is required to be delivered
in connection with any acquisition or sale of Securities by the Buyer, the Company shall not file any Prospectus Supplement with respect
to the Securities without delivering or making available a copy of such Prospectus Supplement, together with the Prospectus, to the Buyer
promptly. For the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer acknowledges that the Registration Statement will expire in December 2026.
(ii)
The Company has not made, and agrees that unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Buyer it will not make, an offer relating
to the Securities that would constitute an “issuer free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 433 promulgated under the
1933 Act (an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”) or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus”
as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the 1933 Act (a “Free Writing Prospectus”) required to be filed by the Company
or the Buyer with the SEC or retained by the Company or the Buyer under Rule 433 under the 1933 Act. The Buyer has not made, and agrees
that unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Company it will not make, an offer relating to the Securities that would constitute
a Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed by the Company with the SEC or retained by the Company under Rule 433 under the 1933 Act.
Any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or other Free Writing Prospectus consented to by the Buyer or the Company is referred to in this
Agreement as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company agrees that (x) it has treated and will treat, as
the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and (y) it has complied and will comply,
as the case may be, with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 under the 1933 Act applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus,
including in respect of timely filing with the SEC, legending and record keeping.
22
(c)
Prospectus Delivery. Immediately prior to execution of this Agreement, the Company shall have delivered to the Buyer, and as soon
as practicable after execution of this Agreement the Company shall file, Prospectus Supplements with respect to the Securities to be
issued on the Closing Date, as required under, and in conformity with, the 1933 Act, including Rule 424(b) thereunder. The Company shall
provide the Buyer a reasonable opportunity to comment on a draft of each Prospectus Supplement and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus,
shall give due consideration to all such comments and, subject to the provisions of Section 4(b) hereof, shall deliver or make available
to the Buyer, without charge, an electronic copy of each form of Prospectus Supplement, together with the Prospectus, and any Permitted
Free Writing Prospectus on the Closing Date. The Company consents to the use of the Prospectus (and of any Prospectus Supplements thereto)
in accordance with the provisions of the 1933 Act and with the securities or “blue sky” laws of the jurisdictions in which
the Securities may be sold by the Buyer, in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities and for such period of time thereafter
as the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the 1933 Act) is required by the 1933 Act to be delivered
in connection with sales of the Securities. If during such period of time any event shall occur that in the judgment of the Company and
its counsel is required to be set forth in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or should
be set forth therein in order to make the statements made therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made) not misleading, or if it is necessary to amend the Registration Statement or supplement or amend the Prospectus
or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus to comply with the 1933 Act or any other applicable law or regulation, the Company shall forthwith
prepare and, subject to Section 4(b) above, file with the SEC an appropriate amendment to the Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement
to the Prospectus (or supplement to the Permitted Free Writing Prospectus) and shall expeditiously furnish or make available to the Buyer

applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification),
and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Buyers on or prior to the Closing Date. Without limiting any other obligation

Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions

that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its
Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, affiliates, employees or agents, on the one hand, and any of the Buyers
or any of their affiliates, on the other hand, shall terminate.
25
(ii)
Limitations on Disclosure. The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and each of its and their
respective officers, directors, employees and agents not to, provide any Buyer with any material, non-public information regarding the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries from and after the date hereof without the express prior written consent of such Buyer (which may
be granted or withheld in such Buyer’s sole discretion). In the event of a breach of any of the foregoing covenants or any of the
covenants or agreements contained in any other Transaction Document, by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of its or their
respective officers, directors, employees and agents (as determined in the reasonable good faith judgment of such Buyer), in addition
to any other remedy provided herein or in the Transaction Documents, such Buyer may deliver written notice to the Company to request
that the Company promptly publicly release such applicable material, non-public information. If the Company fails to publicly release
such material, non-public information on or prior to the second (2nd) Trading Day after such written notice by such Buyer,
such Buyer shall have the right to make a public disclosure, in the form of a press release, public advertisement or otherwise, of such
breach or such material, non-public information, as applicable, without the prior approval by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or
any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents. No Buyer shall have any liability to the Company, any of its
Subsidiaries, or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, stockholders or agents, for any such disclosure.
To the extent that the Company delivers any material, non-public information to a Buyer without such Buyer’s consent, the Company
hereby covenants and agrees that such Buyer shall not have any duty of confidentiality with respect to, or a duty not to trade on the
basis of, such material, non-public information. Subject to the foregoing, neither the Company, its Subsidiaries nor any Buyer shall
issue any press releases or any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, the
Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of any Buyer, to make any press release or other public disclosure with respect
to such transactions (i) in substantial conformity with the 8-K Filing and contemporaneously therewith and (ii) as is required by applicable
law and regulations (provided that in the case of clause (i) each Buyer shall be consulted by the Company in connection with any such
press release or other public disclosure prior to its release). Without the prior written consent of the applicable Buyer (which may
be granted or withheld in such Buyer’s sole discretion), the Company shall not (and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and affiliates
to not) disclose the name of such Buyer in any filing, announcement, release or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Agreement to the contrary and without implication that the contrary would otherwise be true, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees
that no Buyer shall have (unless expressly agreed to by a particular Buyer after the date hereof in a written definitive and binding
agreement executed by the Company and such particular Buyer (it being understood and agreed that no Buyer may bind any other Buyer with
respect thereto)), any duty of confidentiality with respect to, or a duty not to trade on the basis of, any material, non-public information
regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
26
(m)
Reservation of Shares. So long as any of the Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to at all times
have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, no less than 110% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of all the Notes then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Notes set forth in the
Notes) (collectively, the “Required Reserve Amount”); provided that at no time shall the number of shares of Common
Stock reserved pursuant to this Section 4(n) be reduced other than proportionally in connection with any conversion, exercise and/or
redemption, as applicable of Notes. If at any time the number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance is not sufficient
to meet the Required Reserve Amount, the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient
number of shares, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of stockholders to authorize additional shares to meet the
Company’s obligations pursuant to the Transaction Documents, in the case of an insufficient number of authorized shares, obtain
stockholder approval of an increase in such authorized number of shares, and voting the management shares of the Company in favor of
an increase in the authorized shares of the Company to ensure that the number of authorized shares is sufficient to meet the Required
Reserve Amount.
(n)
Conduct of Business. The business of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be conducted in violation of any law, ordinance
or regulation of any Governmental Entity, except where such violations would not reasonably be expected to result, either individually
or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect.
(o)
Other Notes; Variable Securities. So long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Company and each Subsidiary shall be prohibited
from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any Subsequent Placement (as defined in the Notes) involving a Variable Rate Transaction
(other than a Permitted VRT (as defined below). “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company
or any Subsidiary (i) issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents either (A) at a conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price
that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial
issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some
future date after the initial issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly
or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock, other than pursuant to a customary “weighted
average” anti-dilution provision or (ii) enters into any agreement (including, without limitation, an equity line of credit or
an “at-the-market” offering) whereby the Company or any Subsidiary may sell securities at a future determined price (other
than standard and customary “preemptive” or “participation” rights). Each Buyer shall be entitled to obtain injunctive
relief against the Company and its Subsidiaries to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect
damages. “Permitted VRT” means (i) one or more sales of Common Stock under an “at-the-market” offering
existing on the date hereof or entered into the future, including, but not limited to, in connection with the filing of a new shelf registration
statement on Form S-3, the “Permitted ATM”), (ii) one or more sales of Common Stock under an equity line of credit
entered into in the future of up to $50 million (a “Permitted ELOC”), and (iii) any other Variable Rate Transaction
entered into with the Lead Investor.
(p)

27
(q)
Passive Foreign Investment Company. The Company shall conduct its business, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to conduct their
respective businesses, in such a manner as will ensure that the Company will not be deemed to constitute a passive foreign investment
company within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code.

redeem, or declare or pay any cash dividend or distribution on, any securities of the Company without the prior express written consent
of the Buyers.
(s)
Corporate Existence. So long as any Buyer beneficially owns any Notes, the Company shall not be party to any Fundamental Transaction
(as defined in the Notes) unless the Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Transactions set forth
in the Notes.
(t)
Stock Splits. Until the Notes and all notes issued pursuant to the terms thereof are no longer outstanding, the Company shall
not effect any stock combination, reverse stock split or other similar transaction (or make any public announcement or disclosure with
respect to any of the foregoing) without notifying the Required Holders in writing (which may be an e-mail).
(u)
Conversion Procedures. Each of the form of Conversion Notice (as defined in the Notes) included in the Notes set forth the totality
of the procedures required of the Buyers in order to convert the Notes. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions
shall be required of the Buyers to convert their Notes. The Company shall honor conversions of the Notes and shall deliver the Conversion
Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Notes. Without limiting the preceding sentences, no
ink-original Conversion Notice shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any
Conversion Notice form be required in order to convert the Notes.
(v)
Regulation M. The Company will not take any action prohibited by Regulation M under the 1934 Act, in connection with the distribution
of the Securities contemplated hereby.
(w)
No Net Short Position. Each Buyer hereby agrees solely with the Company, severally and not jointly, and not with any other Buyer,
for so long as such Buyer owns any Notes, such Buyer shall not maintain a Net Short Position (as defined below). For purposes hereof,
a “Net Short Position” by a person means a position whereby such person has executed one or more sales of shares of Common
Stock that is marked as a short sale (but not including any sale marked “short exempt”) and that is executed at a time when
such Buyer has no equivalent offsetting long position in the shares of Common Stock (or is deemed to have a long position hereunder or
otherwise in accordance with Regulation SHO of the 1934 Act); provided, that, for purposes of such calculations, any short sales either
(x) consummated at a price greater than or equal to the Conversion Price, (y) that is a result of a bona-fide trading error on behalf
of such Buyer (or its affiliates) or (z) that would otherwise be marked as a “long” sale, but for the occurrence of a Conversion
Failure (as defined in the Notes), an Equity Conditions Failure and/or any other breach by the Company (or its affiliates or agents,
including, without limitation, the Transfer Agent) of any Transaction Document, in each case, shall be excluded from such calculations.
For purposes of determining whether a Buyer has an equivalent offsetting “long” position in the shares of Common Stock, (A)
all shares of Common Stock that are owned by such Buyer shall be deemed held “long” by such Buyer, (B) all shares of Common
Stock that would be issuable upon conversion in full of all Securities issuable to such Buyer or then held by such Buyer, as applicable
(assuming that such Securities were then fully convertible or exercisable, notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary, and giving
effect to any conversion price adjustments that would take effect given only the passage of time) shall be deemed to be held long by
such Buyer, and (C) at any other time the Company is required (or has elected (or is deemed to have elected)) to issue shares of Common
Stock to such Buyer pursuant to the terms of the Notes, any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to such Buyer (or its designee,
if applicable) in connection therewith shall be deemed held “long” by such Buyer from and after the date that is two (2)
Trading Days prior to the deadline for delivery of such shares of Common Stock to such Buyer, as set forth in the Notes, until such time
as such Buyer shall no longer beneficially own such shares of Common Stock.
28
(x)
Closing Documents. On or prior to fourteen (14) calendar days after the Closing Date, the Company agrees to deliver, or cause
to be delivered, to each Buyer and Kelley Drye & Warren LLP a complete closing set of the executed Transaction Documents, Securities
and any other document required to be delivered to any party pursuant to Section 7 hereof or otherwise.
5.
REGISTER; TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS; LEGEND.
(a)
Register. The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may
designate by notice to each holder of Securities), a register for the Notes in which the Company shall record the name and address of
the Person in whose name the Notes have been issued (including the name and address of each transferee), the principal amount of the
Notes held by such Person and the number of Conversion Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of the Notes. The Company shall keep the
register open and available at all times during business hours for inspection of any Buyer or its legal representatives.
(b)
Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent and any subsequent transfer
agent (as applicable, the “Transfer Agent”) in a form acceptable to each of the Buyers (the “Irrevocable
Transfer Agent Instructions”) to issue certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at The Depository Trust
Company (“DTC”), registered in the name of each Buyer or its respective nominee(s), for the Conversion Shares in such
amounts as specified from time to time by each Buyer to the Company upon conversion of the Notes. The Company represents and warrants
that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5(b), will be given by the Company
to its transfer agent with respect to the Securities, and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and
records of the Company, as applicable, to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. If a Buyer effects
a sale, assignment or transfer of any Securities, the Company shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct its transfer agent
to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in such name and in such denominations as
specified by such Buyer to effect such sale, transfer or assignment. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations
hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a Buyer. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations
under this Section 5(b) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions
of this Section 5(b), that a Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining
any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other
security being required. The Company shall cause its counsel to issue the legal opinion referred to in the Irrevocable Transfer Agent
Instructions, if requested or required, as applicable, by the Transfer Agent, to the Transfer Agent as follows: (i) upon each conversion
of the Notes (unless such issuance is covered by a prior legal opinion previously delivered to the Transfer Agent) and (ii) on each date
a registration statement with respect to the issuance or resale of any of the Securities is declared effective by the SEC. Any fees (with
respect to the transfer agent, counsel to the Company or otherwise) associated with the issuance of such opinion or the removal of any
legends on any of the Securities shall be borne by the Company.
29
(c)
Legends. Certificates and any other instruments evidencing the Securities shall not bear any restrictive or other legend.

Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program.

or the other Transaction Documents or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations
under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.
9.
MISCELLANEOUS.
(a)
Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of
this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any provision or rule (whether
of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the
State of New York. The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The
City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or under any of the other
Transaction Documents or with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert
in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit,
action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party
hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by
mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute
good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to
serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude any Buyer from bringing
suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to such
Buyer or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of such Buyer. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY
HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT
OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
33
(b)
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the
same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. In the event
that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an
executed signature page, such signature page shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such
signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.
(c)
Headings; Gender. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation
of, this Agreement. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine,
neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words
of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,”
“hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in
which they are found.
(d)
Severability; Maximum Payment Amounts. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid
or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall
be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such
provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues
to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature,
invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal
obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties
will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s),
the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s). Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (and without implication that the following is required
or applicable), it is the intention of the parties that in no event shall amounts and value paid by the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries
(as the case may be), or payable to or received by any of the Buyers, under the Transaction Documents (including without limitation,
any amounts that would be characterized as “interest” under applicable law) exceed amounts permitted under any applicable
law. Accordingly, if any obligation to pay, payment made to any Buyer, or collection by any Buyer pursuant to the Transaction Documents
is finally judicially determined to be contrary to any such applicable law, such obligation to pay, payment or collection shall be deemed
to have been made by mutual mistake of such Buyer, the Company and its Subsidiaries and such amount shall be deemed to have been adjusted
with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by the applicable
law. Such adjustment shall be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing or refunding, at the option of such Buyer, the amount of
interest or any other amounts which would constitute unlawful amounts required to be paid or actually paid to such Buyer under the Transaction
Documents. For greater certainty, to the extent that any interest, charges, fees, expenses or other amounts required to be paid to or
received by such Buyer under any of the Transaction Documents or related thereto are held to be within the meaning of “interest”
or another applicable term to otherwise be violative of applicable law, such amounts shall be pro-rated over the period of time to which
they relate.
34
(e)
Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and
thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Buyers, the
Company, its Subsidiaries, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf, including, without limitation, any transactions by any
Buyer with respect to Common Stock or the Securities, and the other matters contained herein and therein, and this Agreement, the other
Transaction Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain
the entire understanding of the parties solely with respect to the matters covered herein and therein; provided, however, nothing contained
in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall (or shall be deemed to) (i) have any effect on any agreements any Buyer has
entered into with, or any instruments any Buyer has received from, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof with
respect to any prior investment made by such Buyer in the Company or (ii) waive, alter, modify or amend in any respect any obligations
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any rights of or benefits to any Buyer or any other Person, in any agreement entered into
prior to the date hereof between or among the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries and any Buyer, or any instruments any Buyer received
from the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof, and all such agreements and instruments shall continue in full
force and effect. Except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor any Buyer makes any representation, warranty,
covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. For clarification purposes, the Recitals are part of this Agreement. No provision
of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Required Holders (as defined below),
and any amendment to any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 9(e) shall be binding on
all Buyers and holders of Securities, as applicable; provided that no such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it (A) applies
to less than all of the holders of the Securities then outstanding, (B) imposes any obligation or liability on any Buyer without such
Buyer’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Buyer’s sole discretion), or (C) disproportionally
and adversely affect any rights under this Agreement of any Buyer without such Buyer’s prior written consent (which may be granted
or withheld in such Buyer’s sole discretion). No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized
representative of the waiving party, provided that the Required Holders may waive any provision of this Agreement, and any waiver of
any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 9(e) shall be binding on all Buyers and holders
of Securities, as applicable, provided that no such waiver shall be effective to the extent that it (1) applies to less than all of the
holders of the Securities then outstanding (unless a party gives a waiver as to itself only), (2) imposes any obligation or liability
on any Buyer without such Buyer’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Buyer’s sole discretion),
or (3) disproportionally and adversely affect any rights under this Agreement of any Buyer without such Buyer’s prior written consent
(which may be granted or withheld in such Buyer’s sole discretion). The Company has not, directly or indirectly, made any agreements
with any Buyers relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents except as set forth
in the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company confirms that, except as set forth in this Agreement, no Buyer
has made any commitment or promise or has any other obligation to provide any financing to the Company, any Subsidiary or otherwise.
As a material inducement for each Buyer to enter into this Agreement, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (x) no due diligence
or other investigation or inquiry conducted by a Buyer, any of its advisors or any of its representatives shall affect such Buyer’s
right to rely on, or shall modify or qualify in any manner or be an exception to any of, the Company’s representations and warranties
contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (y) unless a provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document
is expressly preceded by the phrase “except as disclosed in the SEC Documents,” nothing contained in any of the SEC Documents
shall affect such Buyer’s right to rely on, or shall modify or qualify in any manner or be an exception to any of, the Company’s
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. “Required Holders” means
[*] or any of its affiliates (the “Lead Investor”). In the event that the Company and the Required Holders amend this
Agreement, the Company shall provide written notice of such amendment, including a copy of the amendment and a summary of its material
terms, to all other Buyers at or after 4:00 p.m. New York time on the same calendar day such amendment is made, and in no event later
than the date immediately prior to the public disclosure of such amendment, whether by the filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K or
by any other public announcement or filing by the Company.
35

(g)
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors
and assigns, including any purchasers of any of the Notes (but excluding any purchasers of Underlying Securities, unless pursuant to
a written assignment by such Buyer). The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of the Required Holders, including, without limitation, by way of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Notes)
(unless the Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Transactions set forth in the Notes). A Buyer
may assign some or all of its rights hereunder in connection with any transfer of any of its Securities without the consent of the Company,
in which event such assignee shall be deemed to be a Buyer hereunder with respect to such assigned rights.
(h)
No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted
successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, other than the
Indemnitees (as defined below) referred to in Section 9(k).
(i)
Survival. The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants shall survive the Closing. Each Buyer shall be responsible
only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.
(j)
Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and
shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request
in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby.
(k)
Indemnification.
(i)
In consideration of each Buyer’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and
in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify
and hold harmless each Buyer and each holder of any Securities and all of their stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors,
employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without
limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”)
from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses
in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is
sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred
by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty
made by the Company or any Subsidiary in any of the Transaction Documents, (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of
the Company or any Subsidiary contained in any of the Transaction Documents or (iii) any cause of action, suit, proceeding or claim brought
or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company or
any Subsidiary) or which otherwise involves such Indemnitee that arises out of or results from (A) the execution, delivery, performance
or enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents, (B) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly,
with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, (C) any disclosure properly made by such Buyer pursuant to Section 4(l), or (D)
the status of such Buyer or holder of the Securities either as an investor in the Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated by
the Transaction Documents or as a party to this Agreement (including, without limitation, as a party in interest or otherwise in any
action or proceeding for injunctive or other equitable relief). To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable
for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities
which is permissible under applicable law.
37
(ii)
Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee under this Section 9(k) of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including
any governmental action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to
be made against the Company under this Section 9(k), deliver to the Company a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the Company
shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the Company so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel
mutually satisfactory to the Company and the Indemnitee; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own
counsel with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the Company if: (A) the Company has agreed in writing to pay such fees
and expenses; (B) the Company shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Indemnified Liability and to employ counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such Indemnitee in any such Indemnified Liability; or (C) the named parties to any such Indemnified Liability (including
any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnitee and the Company, and such Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict
of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnitee and the Company (in which case, if such Indemnitee
notifies the Company in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Company, then the Company shall not have
the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Company), provided further, that in the case
of clause (C) above the Company shall not be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one (1) separate legal counsel
for the Indemnitees. The Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in connection with any negotiation or defense of any
such action or Indemnified Liability by the Company and shall furnish to the Company all information reasonably available to the Indemnitee
which relates to such action or Indemnified Liability. The Company shall keep the Indemnitee reasonably apprised at all times as to the
status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any
action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the Company shall not unreasonably withhold,
delay or condition its consent. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment
or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or
plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such Indemnified Liability or litigation, and such settlement
shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnitee. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the Company
shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for
which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the Company within a reasonable time of the commencement
of any such action shall not relieve the Company of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Section 9(k), except to the extent that
the Company is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
(iii)
The indemnification required by this Section 9(k) shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation
or defense, within ten (10) days after bills are received or Indemnified Liabilities are incurred.
(iv)
The indemnity agreement contained herein shall be in addition to (A) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnitee against the
Company or others, and (B) any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to the law.
38
(l)
Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual
intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. No specific representation or warranty shall limit the
generality or applicability of a more general representation or warranty. Each and every reference to share prices, shares of Common
Stock and any other numbers in this Agreement that relate to the Common Stock shall be automatically adjusted for any stock splits, stock
dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions that occur with respect to the Common Stock after the
date of this Agreement. Except with respect to Section 4(x), notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for the avoidance
of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty against, or a prohibition of, any actions with respect
to the borrowing of, arrangement to borrow, identification of the availability of, and/or securing of, securities of the Company in order
for such Buyer (or its broker or other financial representative) to effect short sales or similar transactions in the future.
(m)
Remedies. Each Buyer and in the event of assignment by Buyer of its rights and obligations hereunder, each holder of Securities,
shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted
at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person having any
rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security),
to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore,
the Company recognizes that in the event that it or any Subsidiary fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its or such
Subsidiary’s (as the case may be) obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law would be inadequate relief to
the Buyers. The Company therefore agrees that the Buyers shall be entitled to specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and
permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving
actual damages and without posting a bond or other security. The remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, at law
or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief).
(n)
Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction
Documents, whenever any Buyer exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company or any Subsidiary
does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Buyer may rescind or withdraw, in its
sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company or such Subsidiary (as the case may be), any relevant notice, demand
or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.
(o)
Payment Set Aside; Currency. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Buyer hereunder or pursuant to
any of the other Transaction Documents or any of the Buyers enforce or exercise their rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment
or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent
or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company,
a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law,
common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended
to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff
had not occurred. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
are in United States Dollars (“U.S. Dollars”), and all amounts owing under this Agreement and all other Transaction
Documents shall be paid in U.S. Dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies (if any) shall be converted into the U.S. Dollar
equivalent amount in accordance with the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation. “Exchange Rate” means, in relation
to any amount of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant to this Agreement, the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as published in
the Wall Street Journal on the relevant date of calculation.
39
(p)
Judgment Currency.
(i)
If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Company in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document in any court in any jurisdiction it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter
in this Section 9(p) referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in U.S. Dollars under this Agreement, the
conversion shall be made at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Trading Day immediately preceding:
(1)
the date actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of New York or in the courts of any other jurisdiction
that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date: or
(2)
the date on which the foreign court determines, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the date as of
which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 9(p)(i)(2) being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Conversion
Date”).
(ii)
If in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 9(p)(i)(2) above, there is a change in the Exchange
Rate prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the applicable party shall pay
such adjusted amount as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the Exchange Rate
prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of US Dollars which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment
Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date.
(iii)
Any amount due from the Company under this provision shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained
for any other amounts due under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
(q)
Independent Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Buyer under the Transaction Documents are
several and not joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the
obligations of any other Buyer under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no
action taken by any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Buyers as, and the Company acknowledges that
the Buyers do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption
that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity, and the Company shall not assert any such claim with respect
to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or any matters, and the Company acknowledges that the
Buyers are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The decision of each Buyer to purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction
Documents has been made by such Buyer independently of any other Buyer. Each Buyer acknowledges that no other Buyer has acted as agent
for such Buyer in connection with such Buyer making its investment hereunder and that no other Buyer will be acting as agent of such
Buyer in connection with monitoring such Buyer’s investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents.
The Company and each Buyer confirms that each Buyer has independently participated with the Company and its Subsidiaries in the negotiation
of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Buyer shall be entitled to independently
protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction
Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
The use of a single agreement to effectuate the purchase and sale of the Securities contemplated hereby was solely in the control of
the Company, not the action or decision of any Buyer, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and its Subsidiaries and
not because it was required or requested to do so by any Buyer. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in
this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company, each Subsidiary and a Buyer, solely, and not between the
Company, its Subsidiaries and the Buyers collectively and not between and among the Buyers.

Amortization Date in accordance with Section 8. On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash (excluding
any amounts paid in shares of Common Stock on the Maturity Date in accordance with Section 8) representing the Outstanding Value of this
Note as of the Maturity Date. Other than as specifically permitted by this Note, the Company may not prepay any portion of the Outstanding
Value. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any conversion or redemption hereunder, as applicable, the Company
shall convert or redeem, as applicable, first, all accrued and unpaid Late Charges on any Outstanding Principal Value, Make-Whole
Amount and Interest hereunder and under any Other Notes held by the Holder and all other amounts owed to the Holder under any other Transaction
Document (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), second, all accrued and unpaid Interest, if any, and Make-Whole Amount
hereunder and under any Other Notes held by such Holder, third, all other amounts (other than the Outstanding Principal Value)
outstanding under any Other Notes held by such Holder and, fourth, the Outstanding Principal Value hereunder and under any Other
Notes held by such Holder, in each case, allocated pro rata among this Note and such Other Notes held by such Holder.
2. INTEREST;
INTEREST RATE.
(a) Interest
on this Note shall commence accruing on the Issuance Date and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day months
and shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Date and shall compound each calendar month and shall be payable in accordance with
the terms of this Note. Interest shall be paid (i) on each Interest Date occurring on an Amortization Date in accordance with Section
8 as part of the applicable Amortization Amount due on the applicable Amortization Date and (ii) with respect to each other Interest
Date, on such Interest Date in cash.
(b) Prior
to the payment of Interest on an Interest Date, Interest on this Note shall accrue at the Interest Rate and be payable by way of inclusion
of the Interest in the Conversion Amount on each Conversion Date in accordance with Section 3(c)(i) or upon any redemption in accordance
with Section 13 or any required payment upon any Bankruptcy Event of Default. In the event that such Event of Default is subsequently
cured or waived in writing (for the avoidance of doubt, electronic mail shall suffice as written notice herein) in accordance with the
terms of this Note and the other Transaction Documents (and no other Event of Default then exists, unless waived by the Holder, including,
without limitation, for the Company’s failure to pay such Interest at the Default Rate on the applicable Interest Date), the adjustment
referred to in the preceding sentence shall cease to be effective as of the calendar day immediately following the date of such cure
or waiver; unless expressly provided therein, any such cure or waiver shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to pay Interest
at the Default Rate for the period from the occurrence of such Event of Default through and including the date of such cure or waiver
of such Event of Default.
3. CONVERSION
OF NOTES. At any time after the Issuance Date, this Note shall be convertible into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable
shares of Common Stock (as defined below), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.
(a) Conversion
Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 3(d), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, the Holder shall be entitled
to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common
Stock in accordance with Section 3(c), at the Conversion Rate (as defined below). The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share
of Common Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company
shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp,
issuance and similar taxes, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent (as defined below))
that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of any Conversion Amount.
2
(b) Conversion
Rate. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to Section 3(a) shall be determined
by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price (the “Conversion Rate”).
(i) “Conversion
Amount” means the sum of (A) the portion of the Outstanding Principal Value of this Note to be converted, redeemed or otherwise
with respect to which this determination is being made, (B) accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to such Principal of this Note (if
any), (C) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, (D) accrued and unpaid Late Charges with respect to such Principal of this Note, Make-Whole
Amount and Interest, and (E) any other unpaid amounts pursuant to the Transaction Documents, if any.
(ii) “Conversion
Price” means, as of any Conversion Date or other date of determination, $[ ]1, subject to adjustment as provided
herein.
(c) Mechanics
of Conversion.
(i) Optional
Conversion. To convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock on any date (a “Conversion Date”), the
Holder shall deliver (whether via electronic mail or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on such date,
a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (each, a “Conversion Notice”)
to the Company. If required by Section 3(c)(iii), within one (1) Trading Day following a conversion of this Note as aforesaid, the Holder
shall surrender this Note to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company (or an indemnification undertaking
with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction as contemplated by Section 20(b)). On the date of receipt of
a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by electronic mail an acknowledgment, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II,
of confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice (each, an “Acknowledgement”) to the Holder and the Company’s
transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to
process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein. On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the
date on which the Company has received a Conversion Notice (the “Share Delivery Deadline”), the Company shall (1)
provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities
Transfer Program (“FAST”), credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled
pursuant to such conversion to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at
Custodian system or (2) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, upon the request of the Holder, issue and deliver (via reputable
overnight courier) to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee,
for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such conversion. If this Note is physically
surrendered for conversion pursuant to Section 3(c)(iii) and the Outstanding Principal Value of this Note is greater than the Outstanding
Principal Value portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later
than one (1) Business Day after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a new
Note (in accordance with Section 20(d)) representing the Outstanding Principal Value not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to
receive the shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated
for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Conversion Shares on the Conversion Date; provided, that the Holder shall be
deemed to have waived any voting rights of any such Conversion Shares during the period commencing on such Conversion Date, through,
and including, such applicable Share Delivery Deadline (each, a “Conversion Period”), as necessary, such that the
aggregate voting rights of any shares of Common Stock (including such Conversion Shares) beneficially owned by the Holder and/or any
Attribution Parties, collectively, on any such date of determination shall not exceed the Maximum Percentage (as defined below) as a
result of any such conversion of this Note.
1
Insert 115% of the VWAP of the Common Stock on the Trading
Day ended immediately preceding the time of execution of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
3
(ii) Company’s
Failure to Timely Convert. If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery
Deadline, if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, to issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate for
the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s
share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, to credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s
designee with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion of this
Note (as the case may be) (a “Conversion Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder,
(1) the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after the first (1st) Trading day following such Share Delivery
Deadline that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock is not timely effected an amount equal to 0.5% of the product of (A) the sum
of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Deadline and to which the Holder is
entitled, multiplied by (B) any VWAP of the Common Stock of any Trading Day (as selected by the Holder in writing) during the period
beginning on the applicable Conversion Date and ending on the applicable Share Delivery Deadline, and (2) the Holder, upon written notice
to the Company, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned (as the case may be) any portion of this
Note that has not been converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice, provided that the voiding of a Conversion Notice shall not affect
the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 3(c)(ii)
or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to the Share Delivery Deadline if the Transfer Agent is not participating
in FAST, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate and register such shares of Common
Stock on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, the Transfer Agent shall fail to credit
the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder
is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion hereunder or pursuant to the Company’s obligation pursuant to clause (II) below,
and if on or after such Share Delivery Deadline the Holder acquires (in an open market transaction, stock loan or otherwise) shares of
Common Stock corresponding to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that the Holder
is entitled to receive from the Company and has not received from the Company in connection with such Conversion Failure (a “Buy-In”),
then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days after receipt of the
Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either: (I) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s
total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, stock loan costs and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common
Stock so acquired (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) (the “Buy-In
Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so issue and deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of
Common Stock) or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of
shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue
such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (II) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate
or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee,
as applicable, with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion hereunder
(as the case may be) and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (x)
such number of shares of Common Stock multiplied by (y) the VWAP of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing
on the date of the applicable Conversion Notice and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this clause (II) (the “Buy-In
Payment Amount”). Nothing shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law
or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s
failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock (or to electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock)
upon the conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
4
(iii) Registration;
Book-Entry. The Company shall maintain a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses
of the holders of each Note and the principal amount of the Notes held by such holders (the “Registered Notes”). The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The Company and the holders of the Notes
shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Note for all purposes (including, without limitation,
the right to receive payments of Outstanding Principal Value, Make-Whole Amount and Interest hereunder) notwithstanding notice to the
contrary. A Registered Note may be assigned, transferred or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale
on the Register. Upon its receipt of a written request to assign, transfer or sell all or part of any Registered Note by the holder thereof,
the Company shall record the information contained therein in the Register and issue one or more new Registered Notes in the same aggregate
principal amount as the principal amount of the surrendered Registered Note to the designated assignee or transferee pursuant to Section 20,
provided that if the Company does not so record an assignment, transfer or sale (as the case may be) of all or part of any Registered
Note within two (2) Business Days of such a request, then the Register shall be automatically deemed updated to reflect such assignment,
transfer or sale (as the case may be). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 3, following conversion
of any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to
the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Note is being converted (in which event this Note shall be delivered
to the Company following conversion thereof as contemplated by Section 3(c)(i)) or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior
written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this
Note. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Outstanding Principal Value, Make-Whole Amount, Interest and Late
Charges converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and the dates of such conversions, and/or payments (as the case may be) or shall use
such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion.
If the Company does not update the Register to record such Outstanding Principal Value, Make-Whole Amount, Interest and Late Charges
converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and the dates of such conversions, and/or payments (as the case may be) within two (2) Business
Days of such occurrence, then the Register shall be automatically deemed updated to reflect such occurrence.
(iv) Pro
Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event that the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one holder of Notes for the
same Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such portions of the Notes submitted for conversion, the Company,
subject to Section 3(d), shall convert from each holder of Notes electing to have Notes converted on such date a pro rata amount of such
holder’s portion of its Notes submitted for conversion based on the principal amount of Notes submitted for conversion on such
date by such holder relative to the aggregate principal amount of all Notes submitted for conversion on such date. In the event of a
dispute as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder in connection with a conversion of this Note, the Company shall
issue to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 25. If a
Conversion Notice delivered to the Company would result in a breach of Section 3(d)(i) below, and the Holder does not elect in writing to
withdraw, in whole, such Conversion Notice, the Company shall hold such Conversion Notice in abeyance until such time as such Conversion
Notice may be satisfied without violating Section 3(d)(i) below (with such calculations thereunder made as of the date such Conversion Notice
was initially delivered to the Company).
5
(d) Limitations
on Conversions. The Company shall not effect the conversion of any portion of this Note, and the Holder shall not have the right
to convert any portion of this Note pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Note and any such conversion shall be null and void
and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder together with the other Attribution
Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common
Stock held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this
Note with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be
issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other
Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company
(including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or
any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 3(d)(i).
For purposes of this Section 3(d)(i), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. For purposes
of determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the Holder may acquire upon the conversion of this Note without exceeding
the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s
most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the SEC,
as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer
Agent, if any, setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”).
If the Company receives a Conversion Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is
less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock
then outstanding and, to the extent that such Conversion Notice would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined
pursuant to this Section 3(d)(i), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of shares of
Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to such Conversion Notice. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the
Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of
shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving
effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party
since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock
to the Holder upon conversion of this Note results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own,
in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d)
of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial
ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled
ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the
Company, the Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after
delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice;
provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after
such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution
Parties and not to any other holder of Notes that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common
Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Note in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by
the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act. No prior inability to convert
this Note pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any
subsequent determination of convertibility. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise
than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3(d)(i) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph (or any portion of this
paragraph) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 3(d)(i) or
to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph
may not be amended, modified or waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.

by (B) the Redemption Premium and (ii) the product of (X) the quotient of (a) the Conversion Amount to be redeemed divided by (b) the
Conversion Price then in effect at such time as the Holder delivers an Event of Default Redemption Notice multiplied by (Y) the product
of (1) the Redemption Premium multiplied by (2) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period
commencing on the date immediately preceding such Event of Default and ending on the date the Company makes the entire payment required
to be made under this Section 4(b) (the “Event of Default Redemption Price”). Redemptions required by this Section
4(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 13. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 4(b) are deemed
or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of this Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to
be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(b), but subject to Section 3(d), until the Event
of Default Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption
under this Section 4(b) (together with any Late Charges thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Stock
pursuant to the terms of this Note. In the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of this Note under this Section 4(b),
the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest
rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption
premium due under this Section 4(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s
actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. Any redemption upon an Event of Default shall not constitute an election
of remedies by the Holder, and all other rights and remedies of the Holder shall be preserved.
10
(c) Mandatory
Redemption upon Bankruptcy Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and notwithstanding any conversion
that is then required or in process, upon any Bankruptcy Event of Default, whether occurring prior to or following the Maturity Date,
the Company shall immediately pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing (i) the Outstanding Value of this Note multiplied by (ii)
the Redemption Premium, in addition to any and all other amounts due hereunder, without the requirement for any notice or demand or other
action by the Holder or any other person or entity, provided that the Holder may, in its sole discretion, waive such right to receive
payment upon a Bankruptcy Event of Default, in whole or in part, and any such waiver shall not affect any other rights of the Holder
hereunder, including any other rights in respect of such Bankruptcy Event of Default, any right to conversion, and any right to payment
of the Event of Default Redemption Price or any other Redemption Price, as applicable.
5. RIGHTS
UPON FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION.
(a) Assumption.
The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations
of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(a) pursuant to
written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder prior to such Fundamental Transaction,
including agreements to deliver to each holder of Notes in exchange for such Notes a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a
written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to the Notes, including, without limitation, having a principal amount
and interest rate equal to the principal amounts then outstanding and the interest rates of the Notes held by such holder, having similar
conversion rights as the Notes and having similar ranking and security to the Notes, and satisfactory to the Holder. Upon the occurrence
of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such
Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall
refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations
of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as
the Company herein. Upon consummation of a Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that
there shall be issued upon conversion or redemption of this Note at any time after the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction,
in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections
6 and 17, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the conversion or redemption of the Notes prior to such Fundamental
Transaction, such shares of the publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity)
which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had this Note been converted
immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note), as adjusted in
accordance with the provisions of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder may elect, at its sole option, by delivery of
written notice to the Company to waive this Section 5(a) to permit the Fundamental Transaction without the assumption of this Note. The
provisions of this Section 5 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard
to any limitations on the conversion of this Note.
11
(b) Notice
of a Change of Control; Redemption Right. No sooner than twenty (20) Trading Days nor later than ten (10) Trading Days prior to the
consummation of a Change of Control (the “Change of Control Date”), but not prior to the public announcement of such
Change of Control, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via electronic mail and overnight courier to the Holder (a “Change
of Control Notice”). At any time during the period beginning after the Holder’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice
or the Holder becoming aware of a Change of Control if a Change of Control Notice is not delivered to the Holder in accordance with the
immediately preceding sentence (as applicable) and ending on twenty (20) Trading Days after the later of (A) the date of consummation
of such Change of Control or (B) the date of receipt of such Change of Control Notice or (C) the date of the announcement of such Change
of Control, the Holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of this Note by delivering written notice thereof (“Change
of Control Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Change of Control Redemption Notice shall indicate the Conversion Amount
the Holder is electing to redeem. The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 5 shall be redeemed by the
Company in cash at a price equal to the greatest of (i) the product of (w) the Change of Control Redemption Premium multiplied by (y)
the Conversion Amount being redeemed, (ii) the product of (x) the Change of Control Redemption Premium multiplied by (y) the product
of (A) the Conversion Amount being redeemed multiplied by (B) the quotient determined by dividing (I) the greatest Closing Sale Price
of the shares of Common Stock during the period beginning on the date immediately preceding the earlier to occur of (1) the consummation
of the applicable Change of Control and (2) the public announcement of such Change of Control and ending on the date the Holder delivers
the Change of Control Redemption Notice by (II) the Conversion Price then in effect and (iii) the product of (y) the Change of Control
Redemption Premium multiplied by (z) the product of (A) the Conversion Amount being redeemed multiplied by (B) the quotient of (I) the
aggregate cash consideration and the aggregate cash value of any non-cash consideration per share of Common Stock to be paid to the holders
of the shares of Common Stock upon consummation of such Change of Control (any such non-cash consideration constituting publicly-traded
securities shall be valued at the highest of the Closing Sale Price of such securities as of the Trading Day immediately prior to the
consummation of such Change of Control, the Closing Sale Price of such securities on the Trading Day immediately following the public
announcement of such proposed Change of Control and the Closing Sale Price of such securities on the Trading Day immediately prior to
the public announcement of such proposed Change of Control) divided by (II) the Conversion Price then in effect (the “Change
of Control Redemption Price”). Redemptions required by this Section 5 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section
13 and shall have priority to payments to stockholders in connection with such Change of Control. To the extent redemptions required
by this Section 5(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of this Note by the Company, such
redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5, but subject to Section
3(d), until the Change of Control Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted
for redemption under this Section 5(b) (together with any Late Charges thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder
into Common Stock pursuant to Section 3. In the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of this Note under this Section
5(b), the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future
interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any
redemption premium due under this Section 5(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s
actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.
12
(c) Company
Change of Control Redemption Right. Notwithstanding anything in Section 5(a) or Section 5(b) to the contrary, as long as no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, in connection with a Change of Control, the Company shall have the right, at any time during
the period commencing on the applicable Change of Control Notice Date through, and including, the fifth (5th) Trading Day
immediately prior to the applicable Change of Control Redemption Right End Date, by delivery of a written notice (the “Forced
Change of Control Redemption Notice”) to the Holder, to require the Holder to elect to effect a Change of Control Redemption
in connection therewith (or, at the option of the Holder, to receive Reference Property (as defined below), in whole or in part, with
respect thereto). If the Company properly delivers a Forced Change of Control Redemption Notice in accordance with this Section 5(c),
the Holder shall receive upon consummation of the Change of Control, at such Holder’s election, to be made by delivery of a notice
to the Company stating such election (the “Forced Change of Control Election Notice”) to be delivered to the Company
within the time periods of Section 5(b) for delivery of Change of Control Redemption Notice, (i) cash in an amount equal to the Change
of Control Redemption Price in a Change of Control Redemption (with a Change of Control Redemption Notice being deemed to have been delivered
to the Company as of the date of delivery of such Forced Change of Control Election Notice) or (ii) the kind and amount of cash, securities
or other property receivable upon such Change of Control had the Conversion Amount been converted at the Conversion Price in accordance
with Section 3(c) immediately prior to such Change of Control (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note) (the
“Reference Property”), after which this Note shall be deemed repaid in full and cancelled.
6. RIGHTS
UPON ISSUANCE OF PURCHASE RIGHTS AND OTHER CORPORATE EVENTS.
(a) Purchase
Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Sections 7 or 17 below, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any
Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata, in each case, to all or
substantially all of the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will
be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have
acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without taking
into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note and assuming for such purpose that the Note was converted
at the Conversion Price as of the applicable record date) immediately prior to the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance
or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are
to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder’s
right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage,
then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to the extent of the Maximum Percentage (and shall not be
entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to the
extent of any such excess) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance (and, if such Purchase Right has an expiration
date, maturity date or other similar provision, such term shall be extended by such number of days held in abeyance, if applicable) for
the benefit of the Holder until such time or times, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution
Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted,
issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right held similarly in abeyance (and, if such Purchase Right
has an expiration date, maturity date or other similar provision, such term shall be extended by such number of days held in abeyance,
if applicable)) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).
13
(b) Other
Corporate Events. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental
Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or
in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure
that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of this Note, at the Holder’s option (i) in addition
to the shares of Common Stock receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which the Holder would have been entitled
with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares of Common Stock been held by the Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate
Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note) or (ii) in lieu of the shares
of Common Stock otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of shares of Common
Stock in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as the Holder would have been entitled to receive had
this Note initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to shares of Common Stock) at a
conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Rate. Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall
be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Holder. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive
Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of this Note.
7. RIGHTS
UPON ISSUANCE OF OTHER SECURITIES.
(a) Adjustment
of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. Without limiting any provision of Section 6 or Section
17, if the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization
or other similar transaction) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. Without limiting any provision of Section 6
or Section 17, if the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination,
recapitalization or other similar transaction) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of
shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. Any adjustment pursuant
to this Section 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring
an adjustment under this Section 7(a) occurs during the period that a Conversion Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation
of such Conversion Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.
(b) Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made by rounding to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share,
as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the
account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
14
(c) Voluntary
Adjustment by Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the Principal Market, the Company may at any time during the term
of this Note reduce the then current Conversion Price of each of the Notes to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate
by the board of directors of the Company, but in no event less than $[ ]2 without the prior consent of the stockholders
of the Company as required by the rules and regulations of the Principal Market.
8. QUARTERLY
AMORTIZATION. On [ ]3 and each three month anniversary thereafter until, but not including, the Maturity Date (each,
an “Amortization Date”, and each such payment, each an “Amortization”), the Company shall redeem
the Amortization Amount for such Amortization Date in cash to the Holder at a price equal to such Amortization Amount (as reduced for
any Deferral (as defined below) by the Holder with respect to such Amortization Date) (each, an “Amortization Redemption Price”).
The Company shall deliver a written notice (each, an “Amortization Notice”) to the Holder on the Trading Day immediately
prior to each applicable Amortization Date in which an Amortization is due hereunder, specifying that an Amortization is required to
occur hereunder and the Amortization Redemption Price of this Note for such Amortization Date (attaching reasonable calculations with
respect thereto). At any time on or prior to any given Amortization Date, the Holder may defer (each, a “Deferral”)
Amortization of all, or any part, of any Amortization Amount to be paid on such Amortization Date (each, a “Deferral Amount”)
to any other date, which shall then become an Amortization Date, by delivery of written notice to the Company.
9. [Intentionally
Omitted]
10. SUBSEQUENT
PLACEMENT OPTIONAL REDEMPTION
(a) General.
At any time from and after the earlier of (x) the date the Holder becomes aware of the occurrence of a Subsequent Placement (the “Holder
Subsequent Placement Notice Date”) and (y) the time of consummation of a Subsequent Placement (in each case, other than with
respect to Excluded Securities) (each, an “Eligible Subsequent Placement”), the Holder shall have the right, in its
sole discretion, to require that the Company redeem (each an “Subsequent Placement Optional Redemption”) all, or any
portion, of the Conversion Amount under this Note not in excess of (together with any Subsequent Placement Optional Redemption Amount
(as defined in the applicable other Note of the Holder) of any other Notes of the Holder) the Holder’s Holder Pro Rata Amount of
30% of the net proceeds of such Eligible Subsequent Placement (the “Eligible Subsequent Placement Optional Redemption Amount”)
by delivering written notice thereof (an “Subsequent Placement Optional Redemption Notice”) to the Company.
(b) Mechanics.
Each Subsequent Placement Optional Redemption Notice shall indicate that all, or such applicable portion, as set forth in the applicable
Subsequent Placement Optional Redemption Notice, of the Eligible Subsequent Placement Optional Redemption Amount the Holder is electing
to have redeemed (the “Subsequent Placement Optional Redemption Amount”) and the date of such Subsequent Placement
Optional Redemption (the “Subsequent Placement Optional Redemption Date”), which shall be the later of (x) the fifth
(5th) Business Day after the date of the applicable Subsequent Placement Optional Redemption Notice and (y) the date of the
consummation of such Eligible Subsequent Placement. The portion of the Conversion Amount of this Note subject to redemption pursuant
to this Section 10 shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to the Subsequent Placement Optional Redemption Amount (the
“Subsequent Placement Optional Redemption Price”). Redemptions required by this Section 10 shall be made in accordance
with the provisions of Section 13.

Agreement

11. NONCIRCUMVENTION.
The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation (as defined in the
Securities Purchase Agreement), Bylaws (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek
to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Note, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions
of this Note and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder of this Note. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing or any other provision of this Note or the other Transaction Documents, the Company (a) shall not increase the
par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon conversion of this Note above the Conversion Price then in effect, and (b) shall
take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if after the sixty (60) calendar
day anniversary of the Issuance Date, the Holder is not permitted to convert this Note in full for any reason (other than pursuant to
restrictions set forth in Section 3(d) hereof), the Company shall use its best efforts to promptly remedy such failure, including, without
limitation, obtaining such consents or approvals as necessary to permit such conversion into shares of Common Stock.
12. RESERVATION
OF AUTHORIZED SHARES.
(a) Reservation.
So long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall at all times reserve at least 110% of the maximum number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of all the Notes then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on conversions and assuming for purposes
hereof that the Notes are convertible at the Conversion Price assuming a Conversion Date as of such applicable date of determination)
(the “Required Reserve Amount”). The Required Reserve Amount (including, without limitation, each increase in the
number of shares so reserved) shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of the Notes based on the original principal amount of the
Notes held by each holder on the Closing Date or increase in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be (the “Authorized
Share Allocation”). In the event that a holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder’s Notes, each transferee
shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holder’s Authorized Share Allocation. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated
to any Person which ceases to hold any Notes shall be allocated to the remaining holders of Notes, pro rata based on the principal amount
of the Notes then held by such holders.
(b) Insufficient
Authorized Shares. If, notwithstanding Section 12(a), and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the Notes remain outstanding
the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved (or reserved pursuant to Section 12(a)) shares of Common Stock
to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Notes at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the
Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary
to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required
Reserve Amount for the Notes then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after
the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized
Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares
of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its
best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board
of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing
shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Note due to the failure by the Company to have sufficient shares of Common Stock
available out of the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (such unavailable number of shares of Common Stock, the “Authorized
Failure Shares”), in lieu of delivering such Authorized Failure Shares to the Holder, the Company shall pay cash in exchange
for the redemption of such portion of the Conversion Amount convertible into such Authorized Failure Shares at a price equal to the sum
of (i) the product of (x) such number of Authorized Failure Shares and (y) the greatest VWAP of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during
the period commencing on the date the Holder delivers the applicable Conversion Notice with respect to such Authorized Failure Shares
to the Company and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this Section 12(a); and (ii) to the extent the Holder purchases
(in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Authorized
Failure Shares, any brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any, of the Holder incurred in connection therewith. Nothing
contained in Section 12(a) or this Section 12(b) shall limit any obligations of the Company under any provision of the Securities Purchase
Agreement.
16
13. REDEMPTIONS.
(a) Mechanics.
The Company shall deliver the applicable Event of Default Redemption Price to the Holder in cash within five (5) Business Days after
the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s Event of Default Redemption Notice (each, an “Event of Default Redemption
Date”). If the Holder has submitted a Change of Control Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 5, the Company shall deliver
the applicable Change of Control Redemption Price to the Holder in cash concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control
if such notice is received prior to the consummation of such Change of Control and within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s
receipt of such notice otherwise (each, an “Change of Control Redemption Date”). The Company shall deliver the applicable
Amortization Redemption Price to the Holder in cash on the applicable Amortization Date. The Company shall deliver the applicable Subsequent
Placement Optional Redemption Price to the Holder in cash on the applicable Subsequent Placement Optional Redemption Date. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, in connection with any redemption hereunder at a time the Holder is entitled to receive a cash payment
under any of the other Transaction Documents, at the option of the Holder delivered in writing to the Company, the applicable Redemption
Price hereunder shall be increased by the amount of such cash payment owed to the Holder under such other Transaction Document and, upon
payment in full or conversion in accordance herewith, shall satisfy the Company’s payment obligation under such other Transaction
Document. In the event of a redemption of less than all of the Conversion Amount of this Note, the Company shall promptly cause to be
issued and delivered to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 20(d)) representing the Outstanding Value which has not been
redeemed. In the event that the Company does not pay the applicable Redemption Price to the Holder within the time period required, at
any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid Redemption Price in full, the Holder shall have the option, in lieu of redemption,
to require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any portion of this Note representing the Conversion Amount that was submitted
for redemption and for which the applicable Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) has not been paid. Upon the Company’s
receipt of such notice, (x) the applicable Redemption Notice shall be null and void with respect to such Conversion Amount, (y) the Company
shall immediately return this Note, or issue a new Note (in accordance with Section 20(d)), to the Holder, and in each case the principal
amount of this Note or such new Note (as the case may be) shall be increased by an amount equal to the difference between (1) the applicable
Redemption Price (as the case may be, and as adjusted pursuant to this Section 13, if applicable) minus (2) the Principal portion of
the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption and (z) the Conversion Price of this Note or such new Notes (as the case may be) shall
be automatically adjusted with respect to each conversion effected thereafter by the Holder to the lowest of (A) the Conversion Price
as in effect on the date on which the applicable Redemption Notice is voided, (B) 50% of the lowest Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock
during the period beginning on and including the date on which the applicable Redemption Notice is delivered to the Company and ending
on and including the date on which the applicable Redemption Notice is voided and (C) 50% of the quotient of (I) the sum of the five
(5) lowest VWAPs of the Common Stock during the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Day period ending and including the applicable Conversion
Date divided by (II) five (5) (it being understood and agreed that all such determinations shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock
dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction during such period). The Holder’s delivery of a notice voiding
a Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments
of Late Charges which have accrued prior to the date of such notice with respect to the Conversion Amount subject to such notice.
17
(b) Redemption
by Other Holders. Upon the Company’s receipt of notice from any of the holders of the Other Notes for redemption or repayment
as a result of an event or occurrence substantially similar to the events or occurrences described in Section 4(b) or Section 5 (each,
an “Other Redemption Notice”), the Company shall immediately, but no later than one (1) Business Day of its receipt
thereof, forward to the Holder by electronic mail a copy of such notice. If the Company receives a Redemption Notice and one or more
Other Redemption Notices, during the five (5) Business Day period beginning on and including the date which is two (2) Business Days
prior to the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s applicable Redemption Notice and ending on and including the date which is
two (2) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s applicable Redemption Notice and the Company is unable
to redeem all principal, interest and other amounts designated in such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received during
such five (5) Business Day period, then the Company shall redeem a pro rata amount from each holder of the Notes (including the Holder)
based on the principal amount of the Notes submitted for redemption pursuant to such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices
received by the Company during such five (5) Business Day period.
14. VOTING
RIGHTS. The Holder shall have no voting rights as the holder of this Note, except as required by law (including, without limitation,
the Delaware General Corporation Law) and as expressly provided in this Note.
15. COVENANTS.
Until all of the Notes have been converted, redeemed or otherwise satisfied in accordance with their terms:
(a) Rank.
All payments due under this Note (a) shall rank pari passu with all Other Notes and (b) shall be senior to all other Indebtedness
of the Company and its Subsidiaries (other than Permitted Indebtedness secured by Permitted Liens).
(b) Incurrence
of Indebtedness. The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to not, directly or indirectly, incur

than the Notes and Permitted Payments) whether by way of payment in respect of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on, such
Indebtedness or make any Investment, as applicable, if at the time such payment with respect to such Indebtedness and/or Investment,
as applicable, is due or is otherwise made or, after giving effect to such payment, an event constituting an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing or would occur after giving effect to such payment.
(e) Restriction
on Redemption and Cash Dividends. The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to not, directly or
indirectly, redeem, repurchase or declare or pay any cash dividend or distribution on any of its capital stock.

sell, lease, license, assign, transfer, spin-off, split-off, close, convey or otherwise dispose of any assets or rights of the Company
or any Subsidiary owned or hereafter acquired whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions (each, an “Asset
Sale”), other than (i) sales, leases, licenses, assignments, transfers, conveyances and other dispositions of such assets or
rights by the Company and its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business consistent with its past practice, and (ii) sales of inventory
and product in the ordinary course of business.
(g) Maturity
of Indebtedness. Except as set forth on Schedule 15(g) attached hereto, the Company shall not, and the Company shall cause
each of its Subsidiaries to not, directly or indirectly, permit any Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to mature

thereto. The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to not, directly or indirectly, modify its or their
corporate structure or purpose.

of business in a manner and to an extent consistent with past practice and necessary or desirable for the prudent operation of its business,
for fair consideration and on terms no less favorable to it or its Subsidiaries than would be obtainable in a comparable arm’s
length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate thereof.

principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, (i) issue any Notes (other than as contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement

(each such failure, a “Financial Covenant Failure”), the Company shall notify the Holder in writing that it desires
to deliver to the Holder material non-public information (each, a “Pre-Notice”). If the Holder upon receipt
of such Pre-Notice elects in writing to receive such material non-public information (which may be an e-mail), the Company shall promptly
provide to the Holders a written certification, executed on behalf of the Company by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, certifying
that a Financial Covenant Failure exists for such Fiscal Quarter or Fiscal Year, as applicable (each, a “Financial Covenant

enacted or in force) that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Note; and (B) expressly waives all benefits or advantages
of any such law and agrees that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted to
the Holder by this Note, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.
20

The Company and its Subsidiaries shall pay when due all taxes, fees or other charges of any nature whatsoever (together with any related
interest or penalties) now or hereafter imposed or assessed against the Company and its Subsidiaries or their respective assets or upon
their ownership, possession, use, operation or disposition thereof or upon their rents, receipts or earnings arising therefrom (except
where the failure to pay would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material effect on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries).
The Company and its Subsidiaries shall file on or before the due date therefor all personal property tax returns (except where the failure
to file would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material effect on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company and its Subsidiaries may contest, in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, taxes for which they maintain
adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP.
(r) Independent
Investigation. At the request of the Holder either (x) at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (y) upon
the occurrence of an event that with the passage of time or giving of notice would constitute an Event of Default or (z) at any time
the Holder reasonably believes an Event of Default may have occurred or be continuing, the Company shall hire an independent, reputable
investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Holder to investigate as to whether any breach of this Note has occurred
(the “Independent Investigator”). If the Independent Investigator determines that such breach of this Note has occurred,
the Independent Investigator shall notify the Company of such breach and the Company shall deliver written notice to each holder of a
Note of such breach. In connection with such investigation, the Independent Investigator may, during normal business hours, inspect all
contracts, books, records, personnel, offices and other facilities and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries and, to the extent
available to the Company after the Company uses reasonable efforts to obtain them, the records of its legal advisors and accountants
(including the accountants’ work papers) and any books of account, records, reports and other papers not contractually required
of the Company to be confidential or secret, or subject to attorney-client or other evidentiary privilege, and the Independent Investigator
may make such copies and inspections thereof as the Independent Investigator may reasonably request. The Company shall furnish the Independent
Investigator with such financial and operating data and other information with respect to the business and properties of the Company
as the Independent Investigator may reasonably request. The Company shall permit the Independent Investigator to discuss the affairs,
finances and accounts of the Company with, and to make proposals and furnish advice with respect thereto to, the Company’s officers,
directors, key employees and independent public accountants or any of them (and by this provision the Company authorizes said accountants
to discuss with such Independent Investigator the finances and affairs of the Company and any Subsidiaries), all at such reasonable times,
upon reasonable notice, and as often as may be reasonably requested.

OF ASSETS. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Sections 6(a) or 7, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other
distributions of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to any or all holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital
or otherwise (including without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend,
spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (the “Distributions”),
then the Holder will be entitled to such Distributions as if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon
complete conversion of this Note (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note and
assuming for such purpose that the Note was converted at the Conversion Price as of the applicable record date) immediately prior to
the date on which a record is taken for such Distribution or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of
Common Stock are to be determined for such Distributions (provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate
in any such Distribution would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder
shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the extent of the Maximum Percentage (and shall not be entitled to beneficial
ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution (and beneficial ownership) to the extent of any such excess)
and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times, if ever, as its
right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times
the Holder shall be granted such Distribution (and any Distributions declared or made on such initial Distribution or on any subsequent
Distribution held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).
18. AMENDING
THE TERMS OF THIS NOTE. Except for Section 3(d) and this Section 18, which may not be amended, modified or waived by the parties
hereto, the prior written consent of the Required Holders shall be required for any change, waiver or amendment to this Note and any
Other Notes. Any change, waiver or amendment so approved shall be binding upon all existing and future holders of this Note and any Other
Notes; provided, however, that no such change, waiver or amendment, as applied to any of the Notes held by any particular holder of Notes,
shall, without the written consent of that particular holder, disproportionally and adversely affect any rights under the Notes of any

such amendment, including a copy of the amendment and a summary of its material terms, to all other holders at or after 4:00 p.m. New

form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder
a new Note (in accordance with Section 20(d)) representing the outstanding Principal.
(c) Note

of New Notes. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Note pursuant to the terms of this Note, such new Note (i) shall be

outstanding under this Note immediately prior to such issuance of new Notes), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the
face of such new Note, which is the same as the Issuance Date of this Note, (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Note,

21. REMEDIES,
CHARACTERIZATIONS, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and
in addition to all other remedies available under this Note and any of the other Transaction Documents at law or in equity (including
a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual
and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note. No failure on the part of the Holder
to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single
or partial exercise by the Holder of any right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power or remedy. In addition, the exercise of any right or remedy of the Holder at law or equity or under this Note or any
of the documents shall not be deemed to be an election of Holder’s rights or remedies under such documents or at law or equity.
The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided
herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall
be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of
the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable
harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event
of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to specific performance
and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such
case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security. The Company shall provide all information
and documentation to the Holder that is reasonably requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance
with the terms and conditions of this Note (including, without limitation, compliance with Section 7).
22. PAYMENT
OF COLLECTION, ENFORCEMENT AND OTHER COSTS. If (a) this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement
or is collected or enforced through any legal proceeding or the Holder otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under this Note
or to enforce the provisions of this Note or (b) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of the Company or other proceedings
affecting Company creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Note, then the Company shall pay the costs incurred by the
Holder for such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding,
including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements. The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that no amounts
due under this Note shall be affected, or limited, by the fact that the purchase price paid for this Note was less than the original
Principal amount hereof.
23. CONSTRUCTION;
HEADINGS. This Note shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the initial Holder and shall not be construed against
any such Person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Note are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect
the interpretation of, this Note. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the
masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include”
and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,”
“hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Note instead of just the provision in which
they are found. Unless expressly indicated otherwise, all section references are to sections of this Note. Terms used in this Note and
not otherwise defined herein, but defined in the other Transaction Documents, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms on the Closing
Date in such other Transaction Documents unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Holder.
24
24. FAILURE
OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further
exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized
representative of the waiving party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 24 shall permit any waiver of any
provision of Section 3(d).

to such Closing Bid Price, such Closing Sale Price, such Conversion Price, such Amortization Amount, such Black Scholes Consideration
Value, such VWAP or such fair market value, or the arithmetic calculation of such Conversion Rate or such applicable Redemption Price
(as the case may be), at any time after the second (2nd) Business Day following such initial notice by the Company or the

with the first sentence of this Section 25 and (B) written documentation supporting its position with respect to such dispute, in each

Holder selected such investment bank (the “Dispute Submission Deadline”) (the documents referred to in the immediately
preceding clauses (A) and (B) are collectively referred to herein as the “Required Dispute Documentation”) (it being
understood and agreed that if either the Holder or the Company fails to so deliver all of the Required Dispute Documentation by the Dispute
Submission Deadline, then the party who fails to so submit all of the Required Dispute Documentation shall no longer be entitled to (and
hereby waives its right to) deliver or submit any written documentation or other support to such investment bank with respect to such
dispute and such investment bank shall resolve such dispute based solely on the Required Dispute Documentation that was delivered to
such investment bank prior to the Dispute Submission Deadline). Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by both the Company and the Holder
or otherwise requested by such investment bank, neither the Company nor the Holder shall be entitled to deliver or submit any written
documentation or other support to such investment bank in connection with such dispute (other than the Required Dispute Documentation).
25
(iii) The
Company and the Holder shall cause such investment bank to determine the resolution of such dispute and notify the Company and the Holder
of such resolution no later than ten (10) Business Days immediately following the Dispute Submission Deadline. The fees and expenses
of such investment bank shall be borne solely by the Company, and such investment bank’s resolution of such dispute shall be final
and binding upon all parties absent manifest error.

shall apply such findings, determinations and the like to the terms of this Note and any other applicable Transaction Documents, (iii)
each of the Company and the Holder shall have the right to submit any dispute described in this Section 25 to any state or federal court
sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan in lieu of utilizing the procedures set forth in this Section 25 and (iv) nothing
in this Section 25 shall limit the Holder or the Company from obtaining any injunctive relief or other equitable remedies (including,
without limitation, with respect to any matters described in this Section 25).

incurred and payable by the Company in an amount equal to interest on such amount at the rate of thirteen percent (13%) per annum from
the date such amount was due until the same is paid in full (“Late Charge”).

and performance of this Note shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any provision
or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions
other than the State of New York. Except as otherwise required by Section 25 above, the Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute
hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and
agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court,
that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.

If any provision of this Note is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction,
the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that
it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining
provisions of this Note so long as this Note as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of
the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question
does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the
benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited,
invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited,

of notice from the Holder, as applicable), and in the absence of any such written indication in such notice (or notification from the
Company immediately upon receipt of notice from the Holder), the Holder shall be entitled to presume that information contained in the
notice does not constitute material, non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Nothing contained in
this Section 34 shall limit any obligations of the Company, or any rights of the Holder, under Section 4(i) of the Securities Purchase
Agreement.
35. ABSENCE
OF TRADING AND DISCLOSURE RESTRICTIONS. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Holder is not a fiduciary or agent of the Company
and that the Holder shall have no obligation to (a) maintain the confidentiality of any information provided by the Company or (b) refrain
from trading any securities while in possession of such information in the absence of a written non-disclosure agreement signed by an
officer of the Holder that explicitly provides for such confidentiality and trading restrictions. In the absence of such an executed,
written non-disclosure agreement, the Company acknowledges that the Holder may freely trade in any securities issued by the Company,
may possess and use any information provided by the Company in connection with such trading activity, and may disclose any such information
