Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Business Combination Agreement
On July 31, 2026 (the “Signing Date”),
Bluerock Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (which will transfer by way of continuation and domesticate as a Delaware
corporation prior to the Closing) (“Bluerock”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented
or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among
Bluerock, Bitonic Technology Labs Inc. d/b/a Yellow.ai, a Delaware corporation (“Yellow”), and BLRK Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware
corporation (“Merger Sub”). The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are referred to as the “Business
Combination.” Bluerock, Yellow and Merger Sub are individually referred to as a “Party” and, collectively, the “Parties.”
The Business Combination Agreement and the Business
Combination were unanimously approved by the boards of directors of each of Bluerock and Yellow.
The Business Combination is expected to close
in the second half of 2026, following the receipt of the required approval by Bluerock’s shareholders and the fulfillment of other
customary closing conditions.
The Domestication
Subject to obtaining the required shareholder
approvals and at least one day prior to the time of the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing,” and the date on
which the Closing occurs, the “Closing Date”), Bluerock will deregister as a Cayman Islands exempted company and transfer
by way of continuation to and domesticate as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”).
In connection with the Domestication, Bluerock will file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of incorporation
(the “Charter”). Among other things, the Charter will set forth the rights and preferences of the equity interests of Bluerock
after the Domestication (such company after the Domestication, “Pubco”).
Immediately prior to the Domestication, each then
issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share of Bluerock, par value $0.0001 per share (each, a “Cayman Class B Share”), will
convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a Class A ordinary share of Bluerock, par value $0.0001 per share (each, a “Cayman
Class A Share” and, together with the Cayman Class B Shares, the “Cayman Shares”). In connection with the Domestication:
(i) each then issued and outstanding Cayman Class A Share will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of common stock,
par value $0.0001 per share, of Pubco (the “Pubco Common Stock”); (ii) each then issued and outstanding warrant of Bluerock
representing the right to purchase one Cayman Class A Share (each, a “Cayman Purchaser Warrant”) will convert automatically
into a warrant to acquire one share of Pubco Common Stock pursuant to the related warrant agreement (each warrant, a “Pubco Warrant”);
and (iii) each of the then issued and outstanding units of Bluerock will convert automatically into one unit of Pubco consisting of one
share of Pubco Common Stock and one-third of one Pubco Warrant (each, a “Pubco Unit”).
The Business Combination and Consideration
In connection with the Closing, Merger Sub will
merge with and into Yellow (the “Merger”), with Yellow surviving the Merger as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco.
Contemporaneous with the Closing, Bluerock will change its name to “Yellow.ai”.
Subject to, and in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of
common stock of Yellow, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Yellow Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior
to the Effective Time (excluding Dissenting Shares and Cancelled Shares (each as defined in the Business Combination Agreement)) will
be automatically converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, which is equal to (i) the Aggregate Consideration
(as defined below), divided by (ii) the Company Fully Diluted Stock (as defined below). “Aggregate Consideration” means
the number of shares of Pubco Common Stock equal to: (a) $300,000,000 divided by (b) $10.00, with the value in (a) subject to certain
adjustments as further described in the Business Combination Agreement. “Company Fully Diluted Stock” means the sum of (without
duplication): (i) the aggregate number of shares of Yellow Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time
(including (a) the number of shares of Yellow Common Stock issuable upon conversion of (i) all Simple Agreements for Future Equity entered
into between Yellow and investors (each, a “Yellow SAFE”), and (ii) all Yellow Preferred Stock (as defined in the Business
Combination Agreement), in each case outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time), plus (b) the aggregate number
of shares of Yellow Common Stock issuable upon exercise or settlement of all eligible options of Yellow issued and outstanding as of the
Closing, plus (c) the aggregate number of shares of Pubco Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all warrants of Yellow which are
assumed by Pubco as of immediately following the Effective Time.
1
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement,
Bluerock will contribute to Yellow an amount in cash (the “Available Closing Cash”) equal to the sum of (without duplication):
(a) all amounts in the Bluerock trust account as of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, less
(i) amounts required for the redemptions of Cayman Class A Shares by Bluerock’s shareholders (including any excise taxes expected
to be payable in connection with the redemptions as reasonably determined by Bluerock in good faith consultation with Yellow) and (ii)
transaction expenses of Yellow and Bluerock, plus (b) the aggregate proceeds, if any, actually received by Bluerock from the PIPE
Investments (as described below) plus (c) all other cash and cash equivalents of Bluerock, determined in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles as in effect in the United States.
Milestone Equity Incentive Plan
Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination
Agreement, Bluerock has agreed to adopt, prior to the Closing Date and subject to the approval by Bluerock’s shareholders, a milestone
equity incentive plan, to be effective as of the Effective Time (the “2026 Milestone Equity Plan” or the “2026 MEP”),
in a form that provides for awards of restricted stock units on terms consistent with the term sheet attached as Exhibit E to the Business
Combination Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2026 MEP, eligible participants will be entitled to receive up to an
aggregate of 17,500,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock upon the vesting of performance- and service-based awards to be issued under the
2026 MEP. Such awards will vest upon the achievement of certain revenue and stock price-based targets (each, a “Triggering Event”)
as follows:
(i) 19.05% will vest on the date the Pubco Board (as defined below) certifies that Pubco has achieved annual
revenue of at least $45 million on a trailing 12 month basis over the 3 fiscal year period commencing with the first full fiscal year
immediately following the Closing;
(ii) 19.05% will vest on the date the Pubco Board certifies that Pubco has achieved annual revenue of at least
$55 million on a trailing 12 month basis over the 3 fiscal year period commencing with the first full fiscal year immediately following
the Closing;
(iii) 19.05% will vest on the date the Pubco Board certifies that Pubco has achieved annual revenue of at least
$65 million on a trailing 12 month basis over the 3 fiscal year period commencing with the first full fiscal year immediately following
the Closing; and
(iv) 42.85% will vest on the date the Pubco Board certifies that, at any time during the 5-year period following
the Closing Date, the VWAP of the shares of Pubco Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq equals or exceeds $12.00 for 20 out of 30 consecutive
trading days.
No eligible participant will vest in any award
unless and until such participant remains in continued service with Pubco until the date of achievement of the applicable Triggering Event
(and in the case of the price-based target, through the first anniversary of the Closing Date). If any of the Triggering Events fail to
occur by the applicable deadline, then the associated portion of the award (and all shares of Pubco Common Stock subject thereto) will
be immediately forfeited.
Governance
The Parties have agreed to take all necessary
action, including causing the current directors of Bluerock to resign, so that effective at the Closing, the board of directors of Pubco
(the “Pubco Board”) will consist of a three class “staggered” board of nine individuals (appointed in accordance
with the rules of Nasdaq). Eight directors will be chosen by Yellow and one director will be chosen by Bluerock Acquisition Holdings,
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), who will serve as a Class III director.
2

on or before March 31, 2027 (or such later date agreed in writing by the Parties); (iii) by Yellow, if at any time prior to the receipt
of Bluerock Shareholder Approval, the board of directors of Bluerock has amended, qualified, withdrawn or modified its recommendation
to Bluerock’s shareholders that they vote in favor of the Required Transaction Proposals; (iv) by Bluerock or Yellow if the Bluerock
Shareholder Approval is not obtained by Bluerock after the conclusion of the extraordinary general meeting of Bluerock’s shareholders

if the approval of Yellow’s stockholders has not been obtained and delivered to Bluerock by the second business day following the

A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is
filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Business
Combination Agreement and the Business Combination does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
full text of the Business Combination Agreement filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Business Combination Agreement is included
to provide security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Bluerock
or Yellow. In particular, the assertions embodied in representations and warranties by Bluerock and Yellow contained in the Business Combination

including being qualified by confidential information in the disclosure schedules provided by the parties in connection with the execution
of the Business Combination Agreement, and are subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting Parties that may differ
from those applicable to security holders. The confidential disclosures contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions
to the representations and warranties set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. Moreover, certain representations and warranties
in the Business Combination Agreement were used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties, rather than establishing matters
as facts. Accordingly, security holders should not rely on the representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement as
characterizations of the actual state of facts about Bluerock and Yellow. In addition, information concerning the subject matter of the
representations and warranties may change after the date of the Business Combination Agreement, which subsequent information may or may
not be fully reflected in Bluerock’s public disclosures.

and any merger agreement or merger other than the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination; (iii) waive all anti-dilution
rights with respect to the rate that the Cayman Class B Shares convert into the Cayman Class A Shares in connection with the Business
Combination; and (iv) not transfer any Cayman Class B Shares or Cayman Purchaser Warrants (together, the “Sponsor Subject Securities”)
held by it until the earliest to occur of (x) the Closing, (y) the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with
its terms and (z) the liquidation of Bluerock.
In addition, the Sponsor agreed to forfeit,
for no consideration, 750,000 Cayman Class B Shares held by it at or immediately prior to the Closing. Further, in connection with

Cayman Class B Shares (subject to adjustment, the “Commitment Shares”) for each Equity PIPE Unit (as defined below) (or
Non-Redeemed Share (as defined below)) acquired by such investor pursuant to the Equity PIPE Subscription Agreement (as defined
below), up to a maximum of 1,000,000 Commitment Shares. The Sponsor also agreed to forfeit 2,000,000 Cayman Purchaser Warrants in
connection with the Note PIPE Investment (as defined below).
The foregoing description of the Sponsor Support

holders of Yellow Securities (the “Target Holders” and, together with the SPAC Holders, the “Holders”) entered
into a Lock-Up Agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”) with Bluerock and Yellow, pursuant to which, among other things, the Holders
agreed not to transfer (except for certain permitted transfers) any shares of Pubco Common Stock held by such Holder immediately following
the Closing (excluding any Non-Redeemed Shares held by the Holders, any shares of Pubco Common Stock issued to the Holders upon separation
of the Equity PIPE Units or any securities issued as part of the Note PIPE Investment, the “Lock-Up Securities”), until the

does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Lock-Up Agreement, a copy of which

PIPE Investments
Equity PIPE Investment
Concurrently with the execution of the Business
Combination Agreement, Bluerock and Yellow entered into subscription agreements with certain institutional and accredited investors,
including certain affiliates of Yellow (the “Equity PIPE Investors” and the subscription agreements, the “Equity PIPE
Subscription Agreements” and the transactions contemplated thereby, the “Equity PIPE Investment”). Under the terms
of the Equity PIPE Subscription Agreements, the Equity PIPE Investors agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Equity
PIPE Subscription Agreements, to subscribe for and purchase from Pubco, on the Closing Date and immediately prior to the Effective Time,
an aggregate of 500,000 units of Pubco (the “Equity PIPE Units”) at $10.00 per Equity PIPE Unit, for an aggregate purchase
price of $5 million. Each Equity PIPE Unit consists of one share of Pubco Common Stock and one Pubco Warrant to purchase one share of
Pubco Common Stock for $11.50 per share for a period of five years from the Closing. The closing of the Equity PIPE Investment is conditioned
upon, among other things, the completion or concurrent consummation of the Business Combination.
Pursuant to the Equity PIPE Subscription Agreements,
each Equity PIPE Investor may elect to reduce the number of Equity PIPE Units it is obligated to purchase under its Equity PIPE Subscription
Agreement, on a one-for-one basis, up to the total amount of Equity PIPE Units subscribed thereunder if such Equity PIPE Investor (i)
beneficially owns any Cayman Class A Shares as of the fifth calendar day after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (including
any Cayman Class A Shares purchased by the Equity PIPE Investor in the open market at a price less than the Per-Share Redemption Price
(as defined in the Equity PIPE Subscription Agreement) (the “Non-Redeemed Shares”), (ii) does not exercise its right to redeem
any of its Non-Redeemed Shares in connection with the Business Combination Meeting, (iii) does not sell or otherwise transfer its Non-Redeemed
Shares prior to the Closing; and (iv) does not vote any Non-Redeemed Shares in favor of the Business Combination at the Business Combination
Meeting or in favor of any proposal contained in the Proxy Statement (as defined in the Equity PIPE Subscription Agreement) related thereto.
If an Equity PIPE Investor properly makes such election in accordance with the terms of the Equity PIPE Subscription Agreements, then
it will be entitled to receive one Pubco Warrant for each Non-Redeemed Share held by it at Closing.
5
In addition to the foregoing, the Equity PIPE
Subscription Agreements provide that the Equity PIPE Investor will be entitled to receive 0.5 Commitment Shares from the Sponsor at the
Closing for each Equity PIPE Unit purchased by such Equity PIPE Investor and Non-Redeemed Share held by such Equity PIPE Investor at Closing,
subject to adjustment as provided in the Equity PIPE Subscription Agreements, up to an aggregate of 1,000,000 Commitment Shares. The Commitment
Shares issued to the Equity PIPE Investors will be subject to transfer restrictions for a period of 180 days after the Closing Date.
The foregoing description of the Equity PIPE Subscription
Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Equity PIPE Subscription
Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.4, and the terms of which are incorporated by reference in this Current Report on
Form 8-K.
Note PIPE Investment
Concurrently with the execution of the Business
Combination Agreement, Bluerock and Yellow entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Note PIPE Purchase Agreement”
and the transactions contemplated thereby, the “Note PIPE Investment” and, together with the Equity PIPE Investment, the “PIPE
Investments”) with an accredited investor (the “Note PIPE Investor”), pursuant to which, following the Closing, Pubco
will issue and sell to the Note PIPE Investor, in one or more closings, a new series of senior secured convertible notes (the “Notes”)
in an aggregate original principal amount of up to $50,000,000, consisting of (i) an initial note in an original principal amount of up
to $25,000,000, to be issued and sold at the initial closing (the “Initial Note”), and (ii) one or more additional notes in
an aggregate original principal amount for all additional closings of up to $25,000,000, issuable in increments of up to $5,000,000, which
may be issued and sold following the initial closing at the election of the Note PIPE Investor or, in certain circumstances, at the election
of Pubco, in each case subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to closing set forth in the Note PIPE Purchase Agreement (the “Additional
Notes”), such that the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed $25,000,000 without the consent
of Pubco and the Note PIPE Investor. The initial closing under the Note PIPE Purchase Agreement is conditioned upon, among other things,
the consummation of the Business Combination, and will occur immediately following the Closing, subject to all conditions to closing be
satisfied as of such time.
The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 12%
per annum, which interest will be payable quarterly at the Company’s option in shares of Pubco Common Stock (subject to satisfaction
of certain equity conditions), in cash, or by capitalizing such interest into the outstanding principal balance of the applicable Note
(i.e., payment in kind), or a combination of the foregoing. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, the
applicable interest rate will automatically increase to 18% per annum. The Notes will be purchased at a price of approximately $950 for
each $1,000 of principal amount issued, reflecting an original issue discount of approximately 5%. The Notes will mature 36 months from
the applicable issuance date of each Note, subject to extension in certain circumstances, including during the continuance of an event
of default and in connection with certain fundamental transactions.
The Notes may be convertible into shares of
Pubco Common Stock at the election of the holder at an initial conversion price of $10.00 per share (the “Conversion
Price”), subject to adjustment, including a downward reset of the Conversion Price if Pubco issues shares of its common stock
or common stock equivalents at an effective price per share below the then-current Conversion Price, and a further downward-only
reset, on the 6-month anniversary of the initial closing, to the greater of (i) the greater of (x) the floor price then in effect
and (y) a price equal to the average of the volume-weighted average price of Pubco Common Stock during the 10-trading day preceding
such 6-month anniversary date and (ii) $6.00. Beginning on the first trading day following the 12-month anniversary of the issuance
date of the Initial Note, and, with respect to any Additional Note, the first trading day following the 45th day after the issuance
date of such Additional Note, Pubco will be required to redeem or convert, in 21 equal monthly installments, the then-outstanding
principal amount of the applicable Note, together with accrued interest, at its election (subject to satisfaction of certain equity
conditions), in cash at a 5% premium to the amount of the applicable installment or in shares of Pubco Common Stock at a conversion
price equal to the lower of (i) the Conversion Price then in effect and (ii) the greater of (x) the floor price then in effect and
(y) 95% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price of the Pubco Common Stock during the 10 trading days preceding the
applicable installment date, or a combination thereof.
6
Pubco will also have the right to redeem the Notes,
in whole or in part, at any time prior to maturity, at a redemption price equal to (i) 120% of the amount redeemed; provided that, solely
with respect to the Additional Notes, once the Company has delivered notice to the holder that the Company has elected to exercise such
redemption right with respect to the Initial Note, 115% shall apply until the Company has redeemed an aggregate conversion amount of Additional
Notes equal to such aggregate amount of the Initial Note redeemed as of such time of determination, in each case, if redeemed within 12
months following the applicable issuance date, (ii) 110% of such amount if redeemed after such 12-month anniversary but prior to the 18-month
anniversary of such issuance date, and (iii) 108% of such amount if redeemed on or after such 18-month anniversary, in each case subject
to advance notice requirements. Pubco may not exercise this redemption right while an event of default is continuing.
The Notes contain a beneficial ownership limitation
that prohibits the holder, together with its attribution parties, from converting the Notes to the extent such conversion would result
in the holder beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Pubco Common Stock.
The Notes rank senior to all other existing and
future indebtedness of Pubco and will be secured by a first-priority perfected security interest in substantially all of the existing
and future assets of Pubco and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including a pledge of all of the capital stock of each subsidiary,
and are further supported by guaranties from each of Pubco’s U.S. subsidiaries.
The Note PIPE Purchase Agreement and the Notes
contain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, negative covenants (including restrictions on the incurrence
of additional indebtedness and the granting of liens, and restrictions on entering into variable rate transactions), a financial covenant
requiring Pubco to maintain a minimum of $7,500,000 of available cash in U.S. bank accounts, closing conditions, equity conditions, and
events of default.
For a period ending on the later of (i) July 31,
2030 (or such earlier date as the Note PIPE Investor may determine in its sole discretion) and (ii) the second anniversary of the later
of the initial closing date and the last additional closing date, the Note PIPE Investor has the right to participate in future financing
transactions of the Company for 9.9% of the securities offered, subject to customary exceptions for excluded securities.
In connection with the Note PIPE Investment, the
Company shall also enter into a registration rights agreement with the Note PIPE Investor (the “Note PIPE Registration Rights
Agreement”) at the initial closing under the Note PIPE Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company will agree to file
a registration statement registering the resale of the Conversion Shares within 35 days following the date of such initial closing, use
its best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within 80 days after the date of such initial closing (or
110 days if subject to SEC review), and maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement during the applicable registration period,
subject to customary suspension rights.
Concurrently with the execution of the Note PIPE
Purchase Agreement, Yellow executed and delivered to the Note PIPE Investor a promissory note in the original principal amount of $100,000,
which does not bear periodic interest and matures on January 31, 2027. The promissory note will automatically be exchanged, immediately
prior to the Effective Time, for (i) 750,000 shares of Yellow Common Stock and (ii) warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of Yellow Common
Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. In connection with the closing of the Merger, such securities will be exchanged for (i)
750,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock and (ii) Pubco Warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of Pubco Common Stock.
The foregoing description of the Note PIPE Purchase
Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Note PIPE Purchase
Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.5, and the terms of which are incorporated by reference in this Current Report on
Form 8-K.
Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement
At the Closing, Pubco, the Sponsor and certain
securityholders of Yellow will enter into an amended and restated registration rights agreement (the “A&R Registration Rights
Agreement”). Among other things, the A&R Registration Rights Agreement provides that the Sponsor and such other securityholders
will be granted certain customary registration rights, on the terms and subject to the conditions in the A&R Registration Rights Agreement,
with respect to securities of Pubco that they will hold following the Business Combination.

of the A&R Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full
text of the form of A&R Registration Rights Agreement, a form of which is included as Exhibit 10.6, and the terms of which are incorporated

Forward Looking Statements
This
Current Report on Form 8-K includes certain statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements include, but are
not limited to, statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including
any underlying assumptions. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,”
“expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,”
“predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “would” and
similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not
forward-looking. Forward-looking statements may include, for example, statements about Bluerock’s or Yellow’s ability
to effectuate the Business Combination discussed in this document; the benefits of the Business Combination; the future financial performance
of Pubco (which will be the go-forward public company following the completion of the Business Combination) following the Closing; changes
in Yellow’s strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and
objectives of management. These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable
by Bluerock, Yellow and their respective management teams, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain. These forward-looking statements
are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee,
an assurance, a prediction, or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible
to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Bluerock and Yellow. Such
forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially
from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially
from current expectations include, but are not limited to: (1) changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political
conditions, and in applicable laws and regulations, (2) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise
to the termination of the definitive agreements and any negotiations with respect to the Business Combination; (3) the outcome of any
legal proceedings that may be instituted against Bluerock, Yellow, the combined company, or others; (4) the inability to complete the
Business Combination due to the failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of Bluerock or Yellow for the Business Combination or to
satisfy other conditions to closing; (5) changes to the proposed structure of the Business Combination that may be required or appropriate
as a result of applicable laws or regulations; (6) the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of
the Business Combination; (7) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of Bluerock or Yellow as a
result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; (8) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the
Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things: competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage
growth profitably, the ability of the combined company to build or maintain relationships with customers and retain its management and
key employees, the timing and amount of future capital expenditures and requirements for additional capital, and the timing of future
cash flow provided by operating activities, if any; (9) costs related to the Business Combination; (10) the possibility that Yellow or
the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, political and/or competitive factors; (11) estimates of expenses
and profitability and underlying assumptions with respect to shareholder redemptions and purchase price and other adjustments; and (12)
other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements” in Bluerock’s filings with the SEC, including the Registration Statement, when available, and any periodic
Exchange Act reports filed by Bluerock with the SEC such as its Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current
Reports on Form 8-K.
8
You
should carefully consider the foregoing risk factors and the other risks and uncertainties which will be more fully described in the “Risk
Factors” section of the Registration Statement and other documents filed by Bluerock from time to time with the SEC. If any of these
risks materialize or Bluerock’s or Yellow’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results
implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither Bluerock nor Yellow presently know or that
they currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements.
In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Bluerock and Yellow’s expectations, plans, or forecasts of future events
and views as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Nothing in this communication should be regarded as a representation by any
person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking
statements will be achieved. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Bluerock, Yellow, and their respective representatives and affiliates specifically disclaim any obligation to, and do not intend to, update
or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Accordingly, these
forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Bluerock’s, Yellow’s, or any of their respective
representatives or affiliates’ assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, and therefore
undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements. This Current Report on Form 8-K contains preliminary information
only, is subject to change at any time, and is not, and should not be assumed to be, complete or constitute all of the information necessary
to adequately make an informed decision regarding any potential investment in connection with the Business Combination.

Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the Merger (the Company being sometimes referred to in reference
to the periods at and after the Effective Time as the “Surviving Company”). Contemporaneous with the Merger, the Surviving
Company will change its name to a name to be mutually agreed by the parties prior to the Closing. Following the Merger the separate corporate
existence of Merger Sub shall cease. The Merger shall be evidenced by a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”)
and consummated in accordance with this Agreement and the DGCL and, upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger or at such later time
as may be agreed by the Purchaser and the Company in writing and specified in the Certificate of Merger (the “Effective Time”).
Section 1.03 Effects of the Merger.
(a) The
Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and the DGCL. By virtue of the Merger and without further act or deed, at the
Effective Time, all of the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving
Company, subject to the terms of this Agreement, including Section 10.14. In addition, all of the debts, liabilities and duties
of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Company.

the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time
shall by operation of law be the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Company, until thereafter amended in accordance
with applicable Law.
(c) The
Parties will take such actions as are necessary so that immediately following the Effective Time: (i) the directors of the Merger Sub
will be the initial directors of the Surviving Company, each to serve in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of
the Surviving Company; and (ii) the officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the
Surviving Company, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Company.
Section 1.04 Effect of the Merger on Securities.
(a) Effect
on Company Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Parties or the holder
of any Company Stock:
(i) Conversion
of Merger Sub Common Stock. Each share of common stock of Merger Sub, par value $0.00001 per share, issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving
Company, par value $0.00001 per share.
(ii) Cancellation
of Certain Company Stock. All Company Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time held by the Company in

Company Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Company Preferred Stock and the Company SAFEs immediately prior to the Effective Time),
other than Cancelled Shares and Dissenting Shares, without any action on the part of the Parties or the Company Stockholders, shall be
converted into the right to receive, without interest and subject to any applicable Tax withholding, the Per Share Merger Consideration.
(b) Effect
on Domesticated Purchaser Units. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Parties
or the holder of Domesticated Purchaser Units, each then issued and outstanding Domesticated Purchaser Unit shall be cancelled and will
thereafter entitle the holder thereof to one share of Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock and one-third of one Domesticated Purchaser
Warrant.
Section 1.05 Equitable
Adjustments. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, Company Preferred
Stock, Purchaser Class A Ordinary Shares or Purchaser Class B Ordinary Shares shall have been changed into a different number of shares
or a different class or series, by reason of any share subdivision, stock split, reverse stock split, share consolidation, stock dividend,
reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change or transaction, then any number,
value or amount contained in this Agreement which is based upon the number of shares of Company Common Stock, Company Preferred Stock,
Purchaser Class A Ordinary Shares or Purchaser Class B Ordinary Shares will be appropriately adjusted to provide to the holders of Company
Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock and the holders of Purchaser Class A Ordinary Shares and Purchaser Class B Ordinary Shares the
same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, this Section 1.05 shall
not be construed to permit any Party to take any action with respect to their respective securities that is prohibited by the terms and

amounts and other information set forth in the Allocation Schedule without any independent investigation or inquiry. None of the Purchaser,
Merger Sub, the Exchange Agent or their respective Affiliates or Representatives shall have any liability to any Company Securityholder

Company Options. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company Option that both (i) is outstanding and unexercised and (ii) held by a holder of such Company Option who is not an Eligible Participant as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, an “Ineligible Company Option”), shall not be assumed by Purchaser and shall automatically,
and without any action on the part of the Parties or the holder of such Ineligible Company Option (such holder, an “Ineligible
Participant”), be terminated and cancelled as of the Effective Time without the payment of any consideration at the Effective
Time or thereafter. No Ineligible Company Option shall be substituted with any equivalent option or right to purchase or otherwise acquire

Person an opportunity to exercise such Ineligible Company Option in accordance with its terms for a period of not less than five (5) Business
Days prior to the Closing Date (which period shall end no later than six (6) Business Days prior to the Closing Date).
8
(b) All
Other Company Options. At the Effective Time, each Company Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective
Time and that is not an Ineligible Company Option (each, an “Eligible Option”), whether vested or unvested, automatically
and without any action on the part of the Parties or the holder of such Company Option, shall be assumed and converted by Purchaser into
an option to acquire Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to each such Eligible Option
immediately prior to the Effective Time, including applicable vesting and exercisability conditions (such option, an “Exchanged
Company Option”), except (i) to the extent that such terms or conditions are rendered inoperative by the Transactions and (ii)
that the number of Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock shares subject to such Exchanged Company Option shall be equal to: (A) the number
of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time; multiplied by (B) the
Per Share Merger Consideration (rounded down to the nearest whole share, with no cash being payable for any fractional share eliminated
by such rounding) and the exercise price per share of Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock subject to each Exchanged Company Option shall
be equal to: (x) the exercise price per share of Eligible Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (y) the Per
Share Merger Consideration (rounded up to the nearest whole cent). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (x) each
Exchanged Company Option shall be subject to such adjustments as reasonably determined by the Post-Closing Purchaser Board or a committee
thereof administering the Exchanged Options, in its sole discretion to be necessary or appropriate to give effect to the Transactions
and (y) the treatment of Exchanged Company Options shall be subject to such modifications, if any, as reasonably determined by the Post-Closing
Purchaser Board or a committee thereof administering the Exchanged Company Options and only to the extent commercially reasonable, in
its sole discretion, as are required to cause the treatment of the Exchanged Company Options set forth in this Agreement to be made in
a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and, as applicable, Section 424 of the Code.
(c) At
or prior to, and contingent upon, the Effective Time, the Company shall take all action reasonably necessary to terminate the Company
Stock Plan such that (i) no further awards may be granted under the Company Stock Plan on or after the Effective Time, (ii) except with
respect to shares of Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock to be issued on the exercise of the Exchanged Company Options, no further shares
of capital stock of the Company, Purchaser or their respective Affiliates shall be issued under the Company Stock Plan on or after the
Effective Time and (iii) to the extent (x) any shares of Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock are not issued to the holder of the Exchanged
Company Option on the exercise or settlement of such Exchanged Company Option, or (y) the Exchanged Company Option expires unexercised,
and in case of either (x) or (y), such shares would otherwise return to the share reserve of the Company Stock Plan pursuant to the terms
of the Company Stock Plan, such shares of Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock shall not return to the share reserve of the Company Stock
Plan and shall instead be returned to Purchaser and retired and not be made subject to awards under the Equity Incentive Plan or the 2026
MEP. All agreements, notices or other documents prepared by the Company in connection with the treatment of Company Options under this
Agreement and the termination of the Company Stock Plan (including the board resolutions and the notice to the Ineligible Participants)
shall be subject to the prior review, comment and approval of Purchaser (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed).
9
(d) At
or prior to the Effective Time, the Company and the board of directors of the Company shall: (i) adopt any resolutions and take any actions
that are necessary to effectuate the treatment of the Company Options and the Company Stock Plan pursuant to this Section 1.07;

Stock or other shares of capital stock of the Company to any Person pursuant to or in settlement of any Company Options or any promises
to grant Company Options.
Section 1.08 Treatment of Company Warrants.
(a) Each
Company Warrant that has not been exercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be assumed by the Purchaser (each resulting
warrant, an “Assumed Warrant”).
(b) Each
Assumed Warrant shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to its predecessor Company Warrant immediately prior
to the Effective Time (including applicable vesting conditions), except to the extent such terms or conditions are rendered inoperative
by the Transactions. Accordingly, effective as of the Effective Time: (A) each Assumed Warrant shall be exercisable solely for shares
of Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock; (B) the number of shares of Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock subject to each Assumed Warrant
shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the predecessor Company Warrant, as in effect
immediately prior to the Effective Time, by the Per Share Merger Consideration and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole
number of shares of Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock; and (C) the per share exercise price for the Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of each Assumed Warrant shall be determined by dividing the per share exercise price for the shares of Company
Common Stock subject to the predecessor Company Warrant, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Per Share Merger
Consideration, and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent.
Section 1.09 Treatment
of Company SAFEs. Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company
SAFE outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the applicable SAFE Amendment,
be converted into the number of shares of Company Common Stock determined in accordance with the conversion price set forth in such SAFE
Amendment. Each share of Company Common Stock received upon conversion of the Company SAFEs in accordance with the immediately preceding
sentence shall be treated in the Merger as provided in Section 1.04(a)(iii), above (the “SAFE Consideration”).
As of the Effective Time, each Company SAFE shall be terminated, and each Company SAFE Investor shall cease to have any rights with respect
to its Company SAFE other than the right to receive the Aggregate Consideration in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock attributable
to such Company SAFE as set forth in the Allocation Schedule.
10
Section 1.10 Exchange of Company Certificates
and Company Book Entry Shares.
(a) Exchange
Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company and the Purchaser shall appoint a bank or trust company to act as exchange agent (the
“Exchange Agent”) for the payment and delivery of the Aggregate Consideration. At or immediately following the Effective
Time, the Purchaser shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Exchange Agent the number of shares of Domesticated Purchaser Common
Stock and, if applicable, other Equity Securities of the Purchaser comprising the Aggregate Consideration or other consideration to be
issued at Closing in respect of: (i) certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Company Stock, other than Cancelled
Shares and Dissenting Shares (“Company Certificates”); and (ii) non-certificated outstanding Company Stock represented
by book entry, other than Cancelled Shares and Dissenting Shares (“Company Book-Entry Shares”); and (iii) Company SAFEs
converted into Company Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, in the case of each of clauses (i) through (iii),
in accordance with the Allocation Schedule, for exchange in accordance with this Section 1.10 through the Exchange Agent (the “Exchange
Fund”). Pursuant to irrevocable instructions, the Exchange Agent shall deliver the Aggregate Consideration contemplated to be
issued at the Closing pursuant to the Allocation Schedule out of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other
purpose.
(b) Exchange
Procedures. Promptly following the Effective Time, the Purchaser shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each Company
Stockholder a letter of transmittal in such form as the Exchange Agent customarily provides and reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and
the Company (the “Letter of Transmittal”). The Letter of Transmittal shall specify that delivery shall be effected,
and, in the case of Company Certificates, risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon delivery of a duly completed Letter of Transmittal
and, if applicable, the surrender to the Company of Company Certificates covered by such Letter of Transmittal (or delivery of an affidavit
of loss, theft or destruction in lieu of the surrender of such Company Certificates in accordance with Section 1.10(e)). Such Letter
of Transmittal will include instructions for effecting the surrender of Company Certificates (or the provision of an affidavit of loss,
theft or destruction in lieu of the surrender of such Company Certificates in accordance with Section 1.10(e)) in exchange for
the Aggregate Consideration due in respect of such Company Certificates. Upon delivery to the Exchange Agent of a Letter of Transmittal,
duly executed and in proper form with all required enclosures and attachments, together with the surrender to the Exchange Agent for cancellation
of any Company Certificates covered by such Letter of Transmittal (or the provision of an affidavit of loss, theft or destruction in lieu
of the surrender of such Company Certificates in accordance with Section 1.10(e)), each Company Securityholder shall be entitled
to receive the Aggregate Consideration issuable at the Closing as set forth in the Allocation Schedule in respect of such Company Securityholder’s
Company Certificates or Company Book-Entry Shares. If payment of any Aggregate Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the
Person in whose name any surrendered Company Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition precedent to payment that: (x) the Company

the immediately preceding sentence, in its reasonable discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of the consideration specified
under this Agreement, the Purchaser or the Exchange Agent may require the owners of any lost, stolen or destroyed Company Certificates
to provide a customary indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Purchaser, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent

to receive, in lieu thereof, an amount in cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, equal to the product of (x) such
fractional share interest to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, multiplied by (y) $10.00.
Section 1.12 Dissenting
Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time and held by a Company Stockholder, or owned by a Beneficial Owner of Company Stock, as applicable, who has not voted in
favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing or by electronic transmission and has properly demanded appraisal for such shares
in accordance with, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (such shares, “Dissenting Shares”),
shall not be converted into the right to receive the Aggregate Consideration and shall instead represent the right to receive payment
of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with and to the extent provided by Section 262 of the DGCL (any Company Stockholder
or Beneficial Owner of shares of Company Stock who exercises such right, a “Dissenting Stockholder”). At the Effective
Time: (a) all Dissenting Shares shall be cancelled, extinguished and cease to exist; and (b) each holder or owner of Dissenting Shares,
in respect of such Dissenting Shares, shall be entitled only to such rights as may be granted to such holder under the DGCL. If any such
Company Stockholder or Beneficial Owner of shares of Company Stock fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws or loses such Company
Stockholder’s or Beneficial Owner’s right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL or a court of competent jurisdiction
shall determine such holder or Beneficial Owner is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, then, the right of
such holder or Beneficial Owner shall be as specified in the DGCL. The Company shall give the Purchaser reasonably prompt notice of any
demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Stock, purported withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments
served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to rights to be paid the fair value of Dissenting Shares. Prior to the
Effective Time, except with the prior written consent of the Purchaser (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed),
the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or settle or compromise or offer to settle or compromise, any such demands or
waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or otherwise comply with the provisions under Section 262 of the DGCL,
or agree or commit to do any of the foregoing.

the State of Delaware. The Company has all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its
business as now being conducted, except where such failure to have all requisite power and authority would not, individually or in the
aggregate, be material to the Company. The Company is duly qualified or licensed in the jurisdiction in which it is formed or registered
and in each other jurisdiction where it does business or operates to the extent that the character of the property owned, or leased or
operated by it or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except where the failure
to be so qualified or licensed would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse
Effect. The Company has provided to the Purchaser accurate and complete copies of its Organizational Documents, each as amended to date
and as currently in effect. The Company is not in violation of any provision of its Organizational Documents.

delivered by the Company. Assuming the due authorization, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Purchaser and Merger

or by any valid defense of set-off or counterclaim, and the fact that equitable remedies or relief (including the remedy of specific performance)
are subject to the discretion of the court from which such relief may be sought (collectively, the “Enforceability Exceptions”).
When delivered, each Ancillary Document to which the Company is a party shall be duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company.
Assuming the due authorization, execution, delivery and performance, such Ancillary Document shall constitute the legal valid and binding
obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by
the Enforceability Exceptions. By resolutions duly adopted, the Company’s board of directors has unanimously: (i) determined that
it is fair to and in the best interests of the Company and the Company Stockholders, and declared it advisable, for the Company to enter

Securities of the Company; or (c) any Affiliate, “associate” or any member of the “immediate family” (as such
terms are respectively defined in Rules 12b-2 and 16a-1 of the Exchange Act) of any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each
of clauses (a), (b) and (c) shall exclude, in the case of an employee, officer or director of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries, any employment Contract made in the ordinary course of business or any Company Benefit Plans. No Related Person or
any Affiliate of a Related Person has, directly or indirectly, an economic interest in any Contract, property or right (tangible or intangible)
with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than such Contracts that relate to any such Person’s ownership of the Company
Stock or other Equity Securities of the Company as set forth on Section 5.21 of the Company Disclosure Letter or such Person’s
employment or consulting arrangements with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries).
Section 5.22 Insurance.
(a) Section
5.22(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter lists as of the Signing Date, all material policies or binders of property, fire and casualty,
product liability, workers’ compensation, and other forms of insurance held by, or for the benefit of, the business of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries (by policy number, insurer, coverage period, coverage amount, annual premium and type of policy). Copies of
such insurance policies have been provided to the Purchaser. As of the Signing Date, all premiums due and payable under all such insurance
policies have been paid. As of the Signing Date, the Company and its Subsidiaries are otherwise in material compliance with the terms
of such insurance policies. Each such insurance policy is legal, valid and binding, in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance
with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by the Enforceability Exceptions. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries
has any self-insurance or co-insurance programs. In the past three years, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received
any written notice from, or on behalf of, any insurance carrier relating to or involving any: (i) adverse material change; (ii) notice
of cancellation or termination; (iii) any change other than in the ordinary course of business in the conditions of insurance; (iv) any
refusal to issue an insurance policy; or (v) non-renewal of a policy, and, to the Company’s Knowledge, no such action has been threatened.

in the past three years. The Company and its Subsidiaries have reported to their insurers all claims and pending circumstances that would
reasonably be expected to result in a claim, except where such failure to report such a claim would not be reasonably likely to be material
to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. To the Company’s Knowledge, no event has occurred, and no condition or circumstance
exists, that would reasonably be expected to (with or without notice or lapse of time) give rise to or serve as a basis for the denial
of any such insurance claim. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has made any claim against an insurance policy as to which
the insurer has denied coverage.

are generally cautionary, predictive or forward-looking in nature and (b) any exhibits or other documents appended to such Purchaser SEC

jurisdiction of incorporation. Each of the Purchaser and Merger Sub has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and
operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted, except where such failure to have all requisite corporate

of the Purchaser and Merger Sub is duly qualified or licensed in the jurisdiction in which it is formed or registered and in each other
jurisdiction where it does business or operates to the extent that the character of the property owned, or leased or operated by it or
the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified
or licensed would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect. Each of the
Purchaser and Merger Sub has provided to the Company accurate and complete copies of its Organizational Documents each as amended to date
and as currently in effect. Neither the Purchaser nor Merger Sub is in violation of any provision of its Organizational Documents.
Section 6.02 Authorization;
Binding Agreement. Each of the Purchaser and Merger Sub has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver

delivery and performance of this Agreement and each Ancillary Document to which it is a party and the consummation of the Transactions:
(a) have been duly and validly authorized by the board of directors of the Purchaser and the board of directors of Merger Sub; and (b)
other than the Purchaser Shareholder Approval and the proceedings described in Section 7.13, no other corporate proceedings on

against each of the Purchaser and Merger Sub in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by the Enforceability
Exceptions. When delivered, each Ancillary Document to which the Purchaser or Merger Sub is or is required to be a party shall be duly
and validly executed and delivered by the Purchaser or Merger Sub, as applicable. Assuming the due authorization, execution, delivery
and performance, such Ancillary Document, shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser or Merger Sub, as
applicable, enforceable against the Purchaser or Merger Sub, as applicable, in accordance with its terms except as such enforcement may
be limited by the Enforceability Exceptions.
44
Section 6.03 Governmental
Approvals. Assuming the truth and completeness of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement,
no Consent of or with any Governmental Authority on the part of the Purchaser or Merger Sub is required to be obtained or made in connection
with the execution, delivery or performance by the Purchaser or Merger Sub of this Agreement and each Ancillary Document to which Purchaser
or Merger Sub is a party or the consummation by each of the Purchaser and Merger Sub of the Transactions, other than: (a) such filings
as contemplated by this Agreement; (b) any filings required with Nasdaq or the SEC with respect to the Transactions; (c) applicable requirements,

HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws; and (e) where the failure to obtain or make such Consents or to make such filings or notifications, would
not reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

and performance by each of the Purchaser and Merger Sub of this Agreement and each Ancillary Document to which Purchaser or Merger Sub
is a party, the consummation by the Purchaser or Merger Sub of the Transactions, and compliance by the Purchaser or Merger Sub with any
of the provisions those documents, do not and will not: (a) conflict with or violate any provision of the Purchaser’s or Merger
Sub’s Organizational Documents; (b) violate any provision of, or result in the breach of, any applicable Law to which the Purchaser
or Merger Sub is subject or by which any property or asset of the Purchaser or Merger Sub is bound; (c) violate any provision of or result

in a violation or revocation of any required Consents, except to the extent that the occurrence of any of the foregoing items set forth

Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.06 SEC
Filings and Purchaser Financials; Internal Controls.
(a) Since
the IPO, the Purchaser has filed all forms, reports, schedules, statements and other documents required to be filed or furnished by the
Purchaser with the SEC under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, together with any amendments, restatements or supplements (all of
the foregoing filed prior to the Signing Date, the “Purchaser SEC Reports”). The Purchaser will use its best efforts
to have filed all such forms, reports, schedules, statements and other documents required to be filed subsequent to the Signing Date through
the Closing Date (the “Additional Purchaser SEC Reports”). All of the Purchaser SEC Reports, Additional Purchaser SEC
Reports, any correspondence from or to the SEC (other than such correspondence in connection with the IPO of the Purchaser or the Proxy
Statement/Registration Statement) and all certifications and statements required by Rule 13a-14 or 15d-14 under the Exchange Act or 18
U.S.C. § 1350 (Section 906) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act with respect to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Public Certifications”)
are available on the SEC’s Electronic Data-Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (EDGAR) in full without redaction. The Purchaser
SEC Reports were prepared in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as in effect
at the time of filing. Subject to Section 6.17, the Additional Purchaser SEC Reports will be prepared in accordance with the applicable
requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations under
the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as in effect at the time of filing. The Purchaser SEC Reports did not,
at the time they were filed with the SEC, or, if amended, at the time of such amendment, which shall be deemed to supersede such original
filing, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated in such Purchaser SEC Reports
or necessary in order to make the statements made in such Purchaser SEC Reports, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading. The Additional Purchaser SEC Reports will not, at the time they are filed with the SEC, or, if amended, at the time of
such amendment, which shall be deemed to supersede such original filing, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
a material fact required to be stated in the Additional Purchaser SEC Reports or necessary in order to make the statements made in the
Additional Purchaser SEC Reports, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each director and executive
officer of the Purchaser has filed with the SEC on a timely basis all statements required with respect to the Purchaser by Section 16(a)
of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act. The Public Certifications are, or will be,
true and correct as of their respective dates of filing. As used in this Section 6.06, a document or information will be deemed
to have been “filed” if such document or information has been furnished, supplied or otherwise made available to the SEC.
(b) The
financial statements and notes contained or incorporated by reference in the Purchaser SEC Reports fairly present in all material respects
the financial condition and the results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows of the Purchaser as at the
respective dates of, and for the periods referred to, in such financial statements. The financial statements and notes to be contained
in or to be incorporated by reference in the Additional Purchaser SEC Reports will fairly present the financial condition and the results
of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows of the Purchaser as at the respective dates of, and for the periods
referred to, in such financial statements. Such financial statements were prepared in accordance with: (i) GAAP; and (ii) Regulation S-X
or Regulation S-K, as applicable, subject, in the case of interim financial statements, to normal recurring year-end adjustments and the
omission of notes to the extent permitted by Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, as applicable.
47
(c) The
Purchaser has no off-balance sheet arrangements that are not disclosed in the Purchaser SEC Reports. No financial statements other than
those of the Purchaser are required by GAAP to be included in the consolidated financial statements of the Purchaser.
(d) The
issued and outstanding Cayman Purchaser Units are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading
on Nasdaq under the symbol “BLRKU.” The issued and outstanding Purchaser Class A Ordinary Shares are registered pursuant to
Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on Nasdaq under the symbol “BLRK.” The issued and outstanding
Purchaser Public Warrants are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on Nasdaq under the
symbol “BLRKW.” The Purchaser is a listed company in good standing with Nasdaq. Since the consummation of the IPO, the Purchaser
has complied in all material respects with the applicable listing and corporate governance rules and regulations of Nasdaq. There is no
Legal Proceeding pending or, to the Purchaser’s Knowledge, threatened against the Purchaser by Nasdaq or the SEC with respect to:
(i) deregistering the Cayman Purchaser Units; (ii) deregistering the Purchaser Class A Ordinary Shares; (iii) deregistering the Purchaser
Public Warrants; or (iv) terminating the listing of the Purchaser on Nasdaq. None of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates has taken
any action in an attempt to terminate the registration of the Cayman Purchaser Units, the Purchaser Class A Ordinary Shares or Purchaser
Public Warrants under the Exchange Act.
(e) Except
as not required in reliance on exemptions from various reporting requirements by virtue of Purchaser’s status as an “emerging
growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS
Act”), the Purchaser has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange
Act). Such disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably designed to ensure that material information relating to the Purchaser is
made known to the Purchaser’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer by others within those entities, particularly
during the periods in which the periodic reports required under the Exchange Act are being prepared. Such disclosure controls and procedures
are effective in timely alerting the Purchaser’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer to information required
to be included in the Purchaser’s periodic reports required under the Exchange Act.
Section 6.07 Absence

securities or money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act pursuant to the
Trust Agreement. Whether written or unwritten, express or implied, there are no separate Contracts, side letters or other arrangements
or understandings that would cause the description of the Trust Agreement in the Purchaser SEC Reports to be inaccurate or that would
entitle any Person (other than Purchaser Shareholders who shall have properly elected to redeem their Purchaser Class A Ordinary Shares
pursuant to the Purchaser’s Organizational Documents and the underwriters of the IPO with respect to deferred underwriting commissions)
to any portion of the proceeds in the Trust Account. Prior to the Closing, none of the funds held in the Trust Account may be released

has performed all material obligations required to be performed by it to date under the Trust Agreement. The Purchaser is not in default,
breach or delinquent in performance or any other respect (claimed or actual) in connection with, the Trust Agreement. No event has occurred
which, with due notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default or breach under the Trust Agreement. As of the Closing,
the obligations of the Purchaser to dissolve or liquidate pursuant to the Purchaser’s Organizational Documents shall terminate.
To the Purchaser’s Knowledge, as of the Signing Date, following the Closing, no Purchaser Shareholder shall be entitled in its capacity
as a Purchaser Shareholder to receive any amount from the Trust Account except to the extent such Purchaser Shareholder is exercising
their option to redeem Purchaser Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the Redemption. As of the Signing Date, assuming the accuracy
of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement, the compliance by the Company with its obligations under
this Agreement and the satisfaction of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Article VIII and Section 8.03, the Purchaser
does not have any reason to believe that any of the conditions to the use of funds in the Trust Account will not be satisfied or funds

and effect. To the Purchaser’s Knowledge there is no threatened termination of, or material premium increase with respect to, any
of such insurance policies. There have been no insurance claims made by the Purchaser or Merger Sub. Each of the Purchaser and Merger
Sub has reported to its insurers all claims and pending circumstances that would reasonably be expected to result in a claim, except where
such failure to report such a claim would not be reasonably likely to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

documents reasonably required by any financial advisor to the Company or the Purchaser (the “Financial Advisors”),
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Financial Advisors, to facilitate the PIPE Investments or the consummation of the
Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such cooperation shall not require the Company or its Representatives to deliver any legal
opinion, negative assurance letter, comfort letter, certificate or other document except to the extent customary for the applicable financing,
required by the definitive PIPE Agreements approved by the Company, requested on reasonable advance notice, and in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its applicable counsel, auditors or other advisors. The Company shall not be required to provide

Document or the consummation of the Transactions (other than demands for appraisal, which are discussed in Section 1.12) (any such
Legal Proceeding, “Transaction Litigation”). Any such notice shall not constitute an acknowledgement or admission by
the Party providing the notice regarding whether or not: (x) any of the conditions to the Closing have been satisfied; or (y) any of the
representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement have been breached. If prior to the Closing a third party brings,
or to any Party’s knowledge, threatens any Transaction Litigation, against a Party, or the board of directors (or similar governing
body) of such Party or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or Representatives, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of any such
litigation and keep the other Party reasonably informed with respect to the status of any such litigation. Each Party shall provide the

Section 7.09 Efforts.
(a) In
furtherance and not in limitation of Section 7.12, to the extent required under any Antitrust Laws, each Party agrees to make any
required filing or application under the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than
25 Business Days after the Signing Date, and make any required filing or application under other Antitrust Laws, as applicable, with respect
to the Transactions as promptly as practicable after the Signing Date. With respect to any filing under the HSR Act, such filing and application
fees shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser as a Purchaser Transaction Cost and fifty percent (50%) by the Company as a Company
Transaction Cost (except that the Purchaser will advance and pay when due all filing fees in connection with the HSR Act or charged by
any Governmental Authorities relating to such filings or applications, and the Company shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser for fifty
percent (50%) of such fees). Each Party also agrees to: (i) supply as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information and
documentary material that may be reasonably requested pursuant to Antitrust Laws; (ii) use reasonable best efforts to take all other actions
reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under Antitrust Laws;
and (iii) obtain any Consents under applicable Antitrust Laws, including by requesting early termination of the waiting period provided
for under the Antitrust Laws. In connection with its efforts to obtain the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods
under Antitrust Laws, and to obtain any Consents under applicable Antitrust Laws, each Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to:
(A) keep the other Parties reasonably informed of any material communication received by such Party or its Representatives from, or given
by such Party or its Representatives to, any Governmental Authority; (B) keep the other Parties reasonably informed of any material communication
received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private Person, in each case regarding any of the Transactions; (C) permit a
Representative of the other Party and its outside counsel to review (and consider their views in good faith) any material communication
given by it to, and consult with each other in good faith in advance of any material meeting or conference with, any Governmental Authority
or, in connection with any proceeding by a private Person, with any other Person; (D) to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority
or other Person, give a Representative or Representatives of the other Parties the opportunity with reasonable advance notice to attend
and participate in such meetings and conferences; (E) if a Party’s Representative is prohibited from participating in or attending
any meetings or conferences, the other Parties shall keep such Party promptly and reasonably apprised of such meetings or conferences;
and (F) use reasonable best efforts to cooperate in the preparation and filing of any memoranda, white papers, filings, correspondence
or other written communications explaining or defending the Transactions, articulating any regulatory or competitive argument, or responding
to requests or objections made by any Governmental Authority. Any such disclosures, rights to participate or provisions of information
by one Party to the other under this Section 7.09 may be made on an outside counsel-only basis to the extent required under applicable
Law or as appropriate to satisfy contractual confidentiality obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any event, even when sharing
information on a counsel-only basis, each Party may redact: (x) any information related to valuation of the Company; and (y) information
that benefits from attorney- client privilege where disclosure would cause such information to cease to benefit from attorney-client privilege.
64

of the Transactions. The Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to have such Governmental Authorities approve the Transactions.
Each Party shall give prompt written notice to the other Party if such Party or any of its Representatives receives any notice from such
Governmental Authorities in connection with the Transactions. Each Party shall promptly furnish the other Party with a copy of such Governmental
Authority notice. If any Governmental Authority requires that a hearing or meeting be held in connection with its approval of the Transactions,
whether prior to the Closing or after the Closing, each Party shall arrange for Representatives of such Party to be present for such hearing
or meeting. If any objections are asserted with respect to the Transactions under any applicable Law or if any Legal Proceeding is instituted
(or threatened to be instituted) by any applicable Governmental Authority or any private Person challenging any of the Transactions or
any Ancillary Document as violative of any applicable Law or which would otherwise prevent, materially impede or materially delay the
consummation of the Transactions, the Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to resolve any such objections or Legal Proceedings
so as to timely permit consummation of the Transactions. The foregoing obligations shall include using reasonable best efforts to resolve
such objections or Legal Proceedings that if not resolved, would reasonably be expected to prevent, materially impede or materially delay
the consummation of the Transactions. If any Legal Proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Authority
or private Person challenging the Transactions, or any Ancillary Document, the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Representatives
to, reasonably cooperate with each other and use their respective reasonable best efforts to (i) contest and resist any such Legal Proceeding;
and (ii) have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that
prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Transactions or the Ancillary Documents.
(c) Purchaser
shall not, and shall cause its controlled affiliates not to, enter into any transaction, or any agreement, whether oral or written to
effect any transaction (including any merger or acquisition) that might reasonably be expected to make it more difficult, or to increase
the time required, to: (i) obtain the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act applicable to the Transactions
or (ii) avoid the entry of, the commencement of litigation seeking the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary
restraining order or other order that would materially delay or prevent the consummation of the Transactions.
(d) Prior
to the Closing, each Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain any Consents of Governmental Authorities or other third Persons
as may be necessary for the consummation by the Purchaser, Merger Sub and the Company of the Transactions or required as a result of the
execution or performance of, or consummation of the Transactions by the Purchaser, Merger Sub and the Company. The Parties shall provide
reasonable cooperation with each other in connection with such efforts.
(e) The
Purchaser will lead all meetings, discussions, and communications with any Governmental Authority relating to obtaining antitrust approval
for the Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser will consult with and consider in good faith the comments of the Company
in connection with any filing, communication, defense, litigation, negotiation, or strategy. The Purchaser shall not, without the prior
approval of the Company, have the right to stay, toll or extend any applicable waiting period under any Antitrust Laws. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, none of the Parties or their respective Affiliates shall be required to propose, negotiate, commit to or effect,
by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of such of its assets, properties or businesses
or of the assets, properties or business to be acquired by Purchaser pursuant hereto, terminating any existing relationships, contractual
rights or obligations, otherwise impairing any material product, customer relationship, data, dataset, model, algorithm, source code,
model weight, parameter, AI Technology, Intellectual Property or other material asset, or agree to the entrance into such other arrangements,
in order to avoid the entry of, and the commencement of litigation seeking the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction,
temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding, except with such Party’s prior written consent.

Section 7.10 Trust
Account. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VIII and provision of notice of such satisfaction
or waiver to the Trustee then, at the Closing, the Purchaser shall: (i) cause any documents, opinions and notices required to be delivered
to the Trustee pursuant to the Trust Agreement to be so delivered; and (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Trustee
to pay all remaining amounts then available in the Trust Account to the Purchaser for immediate use, subject to this Agreement and the
Trust Agreement. Purchaser’s notice to the Trustee of satisfaction or waiver as referenced in the preceding sentence shall be in
accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement. Thereafter, the Trust Agreement shall terminate in accordance with its terms, except
as otherwise provided under the Trust Agreement.
Section 7.11 Tax Matters.
(a) The
Parties agree and acknowledge that, for U.S. federal, and applicable state and local, income Tax purposes, it is intended that the Transactions
qualify for the Intended Tax Treatments. The Parties agree and acknowledge that: (i) this Agreement constitutes, and is hereby adopted
by the Purchaser as, a separate “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code, Treasury Regulations
Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) for each of the Domestication and the Sponsor Share Conversion for purposes of Sections 354, 361 and
368 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Sections 354, 361 and 368 of the Code; and (ii) this Agreement constitutes,
and is hereby adopted by the Purchaser, Merger Sub, and the Company as, a separate “plan of reorganization” within the meaning
of Section 368 of the Code, Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) for the Merger for purposes of Sections 354, 361 and
368 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Sections 354, 361 and 368 of the Code. No Party shall (and no Party shall
cause or permit their respective Affiliates to) knowingly take or knowingly cause to be taken, or knowingly fail to take or knowingly
cause to be failed to be taken, any action, if such action or failure to act would reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Transactions
from qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatments. The Parties agree to file all Tax Returns on a basis consistent with the Intended Tax
Treatments unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any
similar or analogous Law) or a change in applicable Law. Each Party agrees to use reasonable best efforts to promptly notify all other
Parties of any challenge to the qualification of any relevant portion of the Transactions for its Intended Tax Treatment by any Governmental
Authority.
(b) All
transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, recording, registration, value added and other such similar Taxes and fees (including
any penalties and interest, but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any income, employment, payroll or similar Taxes) that become payable
by any of Purchaser, Merger Sub, the Company or the Company’s Subsidiaries in connection with or by reason of the execution of this
Agreement and the Transactions (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne and paid 50% by the Purchaser and 50% by the Company.
The Company shall, at its own expense, timely file all necessary Tax Returns or other documentation with respect to such Transfer Taxes.
If required by applicable Law, the other Parties shall join in the execution of any such Tax Returns or other documentation.
66
(c) Each
Party shall terminate or cause to be terminated all of the Tax sharing, reimbursement, allocation, indemnification or similar agreements,
arrangements or undertakings to which such Party is a party to or bound by, or under which such Party has any obligation in effect on
the Closing Date for any Tax liability of another Person, regardless of the period in which such Tax liability arises. The foregoing obligation
to terminate any such agreements or arrangements shall apply regardless of whether they are written or unwritten. There shall be no continuing
obligation for any Party to make any payments under any such agreements, arrangements or undertakings. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
there shall be no such termination obligation with respect to customary commercial agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business
the primary purpose of which is not related to Taxes.
(d) Each
of the Parties shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate, as and to the
extent reasonably requested by another Party, in connection with filing of the relevant Tax Returns, and any audit or tax proceeding.
Such cooperation shall include, in each case, solely to the extent commercially reasonable, the retention and (upon the other Party’s
request) the provision (with the right to make copies) of records and information reasonably relevant to any tax proceeding or audit,
making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.
Following the Closing Date, to the extent applicable as a result of Purchaser’s status as a PFIC or a CFC for any taxable period
ending on or prior to the Closing, the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) provide a “PFIC Annual Information
Statement”, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1295-1(g), to Persons that were Purchaser Shareholders prior to
the Closing Date (each, a “Pre-Domestication Purchaser Shareholder”) and that reasonably requests such information,
to enable such Pre-Domestication Purchaser Shareholder to make a “Qualifying Electing Fund” election under Section 1295 of
the Code with respect to Purchaser for any taxable year of Purchaser ending on or prior to the date of the Domestication; (ii) provide
information reasonably requested by a Pre-Domestication Purchaser Shareholder to enable such Person to report its allocable share of “subpart
F” income under Section 951 of the Code for taxable years of Purchaser ending on or prior to the date of the Domestication; and
(iii) provide information reasonably requested by a Pre-Domestication Purchaser Shareholder to enable such Person to comply with Treasury
Regulations Section 1.367(b)-3(b) or make the election described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(b)-3(c)(3), in each case, with
respect to the Domestication.
(e) On
the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Purchaser (i) a certificate certifying that no interest in the Company is a “United
States real property interest” within the meaning of Section 897(c) of the Code and otherwise satisfying the requirements of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.1445-2(c)(3) and 1.897-2(h) and (ii) a notice of such certification to the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to Treasury
Regulations Section 1.897-2(h)(2), in each case, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, dated as of the Closing
Date and duly signed by a responsible corporate officer of the Company.
Section 7.12 Further
Assurances. Except as set forth in Section 7.09, the Parties shall further cooperate with each other and use their respective
commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, necessary, proper or
advisable on their part under this Agreement and applicable Laws to consummate the Transactions as soon as reasonably practicable. The
foregoing shall include preparing and filing as soon as practicable all documentation to effect all necessary notices, reports and other
filings, unless otherwise set forth in Section 7.09.
67
Section 7.13 The Preparation of Proxy
Statement/Registration Statement; Shareholders’ Meeting and Approvals.
(a) Registration
Statement and Prospectus.
(i) As
promptly as practicable after the execution of this Agreement and receipt by the Purchaser of all audited and unaudited financial statements
of the Company that are required by applicable Law to be included in the Proxy Statement/Registration Statement, the Purchaser and the
Company shall jointly prepare, and the Purchaser and the Company shall jointly file with the SEC, mutually acceptable materials that shall
include the proxy statement to be filed with the SEC as part of the Registration Statement and sent to the Purchaser Shareholders relating
to the Purchaser Shareholders’ Meeting (such proxy statement, together with any amendments or supplements, the “Proxy Statement”).
In connection with the registration under the Securities Act of the shares of (A) Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock and Domesticated
Purchaser Warrants to be issued in exchange for the issued and outstanding shares of the Purchaser Class A Ordinary Shares and the Purchaser
Common Warrants, respectively, in the Domestication, and (B) other than to the extent prohibited by the SEC, the shares of Domesticated
Purchaser Common Stock that constitute the Aggregate Consideration to be received by Company Securityholders (collectively, the “Registration
Statement Securities”), the Purchaser and the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC the Registration Statement, in which
the Proxy Statement will be included as a prospectus (the “Proxy Statement/Registration Statement”). The Company and
its Representatives shall reasonably cooperate with the Purchaser in the preparation of the Proxy Statement/Registration Statement. The
Purchaser, Merger Sub and the Company shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Proxy Statement/Registration
Statement to: (i) comply with the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC; (ii) have the Registration Statement declared effective
under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing; and (iii) keep the Registration Statement effective as long as
is necessary to consummate the Transactions. Without prejudice to Section 8.01(e), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
neither the Company’s counsel nor its other tax advisors nor the Purchaser’s counsel nor its other tax advisors shall be required
to provide a tax opinion as a condition to the Closing. If there is any tax opinion required by the SEC (or its staff) to be provided
in connection with the Proxy Statement/Registration Statement, the Parties shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts
to cause such opinion to be provided by a tax counsel, subject to customary assumptions and limitations. Such commercially reasonable
efforts shall include cooperating, and causing their Affiliates to cooperate, in order to facilitate the issuance of any such tax opinion
and, to the extent requested by such counsel, execute and deliver customary tax representation letters to such tax counsel in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to such counsel for purposes of delivering such opinion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall require (x) any counsel to the Company or its other tax advisors to provide an opinion
with respect to any Tax matters relating to or affecting Purchaser (other than with respect to the Merger) or the Purchaser Shareholders,
including that the Domestication and the Sponsor Share Conversion qualify for the Purchaser Intended Tax Treatments and (y) any counsel
to Purchaser or its other tax advisors to provide an opinion with respect to any Tax matters relating to or affecting the Company or the
Company Securityholders, including that the Merger qualifies for the Company Intended Tax Treatment. The Purchaser and Merger Sub also
agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all necessary state securities law or “blue sky” permits and approvals
required to carry out the Transactions. The Company shall furnish all information concerning the Company and the Company Stockholders
as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such action. Each of the Purchaser, Merger Sub and the Company agrees to use commercially
reasonable efforts to furnish to the other parties: (x) all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, officers, directors, managers,
stockholders and other equityholders; and (y) information regarding such other matters, in each case, as may be reasonably necessary or
advisable or as may be reasonably requested in connection with the Proxy Statement/Registration Statement, a Current Report on Form 8-K
pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with the Transactions, or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on
behalf of the Purchaser, Merger Sub or the Company to any regulatory authority (including Nasdaq, as applicable) in connection with the
Transactions (the “Offer Documents”).
68
(ii) To
the extent not prohibited by Law, the Purchaser will advise the Company, reasonably promptly after the Purchaser receives notice (but
in any event no later than two Business Days thereafter), of: (A) the time when the Proxy Statement/Registration Statement has become
effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed; (B) the issuance of any stop order or the suspension of the qualification of
the Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock for offering or sale in any jurisdiction; (C) the initiation or written threat of any proceeding
for any such purpose; or (D) any request by the SEC for the amendment or supplement of the Proxy Statement/Registration Statement or for
additional information. To the extent not prohibited by Law, the Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review
and comment on the Proxy Statement/Registration Statement and any Offer Document each time before any such document is filed with the
SEC. The Purchaser shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by the Company and its counsel. To the extent
not prohibited by Law, the Purchaser shall provide the Company and their counsel with any comments or other communications, whether written
or oral, that the Purchaser or its counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement/Registration
Statement or Offer Documents promptly after receipt of those comments or other communications. Each of the Purchaser and the Company shall
reasonably cooperate with respect to any response to comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement/Registration
Statement and any Offer Document and any amendments thereto.
(iii) Each
of the Purchaser, Merger Sub and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that none of the information supplied
by or on its behalf for inclusion or incorporation by reference in: (A) the Registration Statement will, at the time the Registration
Statement is filed with the SEC, at each time at which it is amended and at the time it becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or necessary
to make the statements in the Registration Statement, not misleading; or (B) the Proxy Statement will, at the date it is first disseminated
to the Purchaser Shareholders and at the time of the Purchaser Shareholders’ Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated in the Proxy Statement or necessary in order to make the statements in the
Proxy Statement, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.
(iv) If,
at any time prior to the Closing, any information relating to the Company, the Purchaser or any of their respective Subsidiaries, Affiliates,
directors or officers is discovered by the Company or the Purchaser, which is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to
the Proxy Statement or the Registration Statement so that neither of such documents would include any misstatement of a material fact
or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements in such documents, with respect to the Proxy Statement, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other
parties. In such event, an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to
the extent required by Law, disseminated to the Purchaser Shareholders.
69
(b) Purchaser
Shareholder Approval.
(i) As
promptly as reasonably practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, the Purchaser shall:
(1) cause the Proxy Statement to be disseminated to Purchaser Shareholders in compliance with applicable Law; (2) duly (x) give notice
of and (y) convene and hold an extraordinary general meeting of Purchaser Shareholders (the “Purchaser Shareholders’ Meeting”)
in accordance with the Purchaser’s Organizational Documents and applicable Law, as promptly as reasonably practicable following
the date the Registration Statement is declared effective; and (3) solicit proxies from the holders of Purchaser Ordinary Shares to vote
in favor of each of the Transaction Proposals. Unless the board of directors of the Purchaser have made a Modification in Recommendation,
the Purchaser, through its board of directors, shall recommend to the Purchaser Shareholders: (A) the adoption and approval of this Agreement
in accordance with applicable Law and exchange rules and regulations; (B) the adoption and approval of the Domestication; (C) the adoption
and approval of the Purchaser Charter upon Domestication and the Purchaser Bylaws upon Domestication; (D) the approval of any separate
or unbundled non-binding advisory proposals as are required to implement the foregoing; (E) the approval of the issuance of shares of
Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock as required by listing rules of Nasdaq; (F) the approval of the adoption by the Purchaser of the 2026
MEP and the Equity Incentive Plan; (G) the election of the members of the Post-Closing Purchaser Board in accordance with Section 7.17;
(H) the adoption and approval of any other proposals as the SEC (or staff members of the SEC and Nasdaq, as applicable) may indicate are
necessary in its comments to the Registration Statement or correspondence; (I) the adoption and approval of any other proposals the Purchaser
reasonably considers to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the Transactions (following consultation with the Company), including,
to the extent required, an extension to the deadline set out in the Purchaser Organizational Documents for consummating a Business Combination;
and (K) the adjournment of the Purchaser Shareholders’ Meeting to a later date or dates, if (w) necessary or appropriate, to permit
further solicitation and vote of proxies if there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, any of the foregoing (such
proposals in clauses (A) through (H), together, the “Transaction Proposals”); (x) the Purchaser determines
that one or more of the conditions to Closing is not satisfied or waived; (y) up to three times, in each instance for a period not exceeding
10 Business Days, if the Purchaser determines in its reasonable discretion that adjournment is otherwise required; or (z) mutually agreed
by Purchaser and the Company. Unless the board of directors of the Purchaser has made a Modification in Recommendation prior to its dissemination,
the Purchaser shall include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement. Subject to the following sentence, the board of directors of the
Purchaser shall not, except as required by applicable Law, withdraw, amend, qualify or modify its recommendation to the Purchaser Shareholders
that they vote in favor of the Transaction Proposals (together with any withdrawal, amendment, qualification or modification of its recommendation
to the Purchaser Shareholders described in the Recitals to this Agreement, a “Modification in Recommendation”). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time prior to, but not after, the Domestication, the board of directors of
the Purchaser may make a Modification in Recommendation if they shall have concluded in good faith, after consultation with its outside
legal advisors and financial advisors, that the failure to make a Modification in Recommendation would be a breach of its fiduciary duties
under applicable Law. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Purchaser’s obligations to establish a record date
for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Purchaser Shareholders’ Meeting shall not be affected by any Modification in
Recommendation. The Purchaser may only adjourn the Purchaser Shareholders’ Meeting: (1) to solicit additional proxies for the purpose
of obtaining the Purchaser Shareholder Approval; (2) for the absence of a quorum; (3) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing
or mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure that the Purchaser has determined in good faith after consultation with outside legal
counsel is required under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by the Purchaser
Shareholders prior to the Purchaser Shareholders’ Meeting; or (4) in order to engage with investors. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
without the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Purchaser Shareholders’
Meeting may not be adjourned to a date that is more than 30 days after the date for which the Purchaser Shareholders’ Meeting was
originally scheduled (excluding any adjournments required by applicable Law). The Purchaser shall provide the holders of Purchaser Class
A Ordinary Shares the opportunity to elect redemption of such Purchaser Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the Purchaser Shareholders’
Meeting, as required by the Purchaser’s Organizational Documents (the “Redemption”), which Redemption shall occur
at least one day prior to the Domestication.
70
Section 7.14 Employee Matters.
(a) Equity
Incentive Plan. Prior to the Closing Date, but subject to the approval of the Purchaser Shareholders, Purchaser shall adopt an equity
incentive plan that provides for grants of awards to eligible service providers, in a form that is mutually agreed upon between the Company
and the Purchaser (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (the “Equity Incentive Plan”).
The Equity Incentive Plan shall have an initial share reserve equal to 10% of the aggregate number of shares of Domesticated Purchaser
Common Stock outstanding immediately following the Effective Time, on a fully diluted, as-converted and as-exercised basis (calculated
after giving effect to the Transactions) and shall include an annual automatic increase provision (an “evergreen”) pursuant
to which, on the first day of each fiscal year of the Purchaser beginning in 2028 and ending on (and including) the eighth (8th)
anniversary of the Closing, the number of shares of Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Equity Incentive
Plan shall automatically increase by a number of shares equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of the total number of shares of Domesticated Purchaser
Common Stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, (ii) 4,500,000 shares of Domesticated Purchaser Common
Stock, or (iii) such lesser number of shares as determined by the Post-Closing Purchaser Board.
(b) 2026
Milestone Equity Plan. Prior to the Closing Date, but subject to the approval of the Purchaser Shareholders, Purchaser shall adopt
an equity incentive plan to be called the 2026 Milestone Equity Plan (the “2026 MEP”) in a form that only provides
for awards on terms and conditions that are consistent with those set forth on the 2026 Milestone Equity Plan Term Sheet, with any material
changes or modifications to the 2026 Milestone Equity Plan Term Sheet subject to mutual agreement of the Company and Purchaser (such agreement
not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by either the Company or Purchaser, as applicable), in the manner prescribed under
applicable Laws, effective as of the Effective Time. As set forth in the 2026 Milestone Equity Plan Term Sheet, the share reserve
of the 2026 MEP shall equal 17,500,000 shares of Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock (the “MEP Reserve”) for issuance
under the 2026 MEP. To the extent any awards issued under the 2026 MEP fail to vest by the last date possible for vesting under the 2026
MEP (as described in the 2026 Milestone Equity Plan Term Sheet), all shares subject to such awards that fail to vest shall be removed
from the 2026 MEP Reserve and no longer be authorized for issuance under the 2026 MEP or any other equity plan of Purchaser or its Affiliates.
(c) Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all provisions contained in this Section 7.14 are included for the sole benefit of
the Purchaser, Merger Sub and the Company. Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied: (i) shall be construed to establish,
amend, or modify any employee benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement; (ii) shall limit the right of the Purchaser or its respective
Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Surviving Company) to amend, terminate or otherwise modify any Company Benefit Plan
or other employee benefit plan, agreement or other arrangement following the Closing Date; or (iii) shall confer upon any Person who is
not a Party any right to continued or resumed employment or recall, any: (x) right to compensation or benefits; or (y) third-party beneficiary
or other right of any kind or nature whatsoever. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the prohibitions set forth in the preceding
sentence shall apply to any holder of Equity Securities, any current or former director, manager, officer, employee or independent contractor
of the Company or its Affiliates, or any participant or Person eligible to participate in any Company Benefit Plan or other employee benefit
plan, agreement or other arrangement (or any dependent or beneficiary of such participant).
71
Section 7.15 Public Announcements.
(a) During
the Interim Period no public release, filing or announcement concerning this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents or the Transactions shall
be issued by any Party or any of their Affiliates without the prior written consent of the Purchaser and the Company, except as such release
or announcement may be required by applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any securities exchange. In the event any such release,
filing or announcement is required in accordance with the preceding sentence, the applicable Party shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, to allow the other Party reasonable time to comment on, and arrange for any required
filing with respect to, such release or announcement in advance of such issuance.
(b) The
Parties shall mutually agree upon and, as promptly as practicable after the execution of this Agreement (but in any event within four
Business Days thereafter), issue a press release announcing the execution of this Agreement (the “Signing Press Release”).
Promptly after the issuance of the Signing Press Release, the Purchaser shall file a current report on Form 8-K (the “Signing
Filing”) with the Signing Press Release and a description of this Agreement as required by Federal Securities Laws. The Company
shall have an opportunity to review and comment upon the Signing Filing prior to filing and Purchaser shall not file the Signing Filing
without the consent of the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and must be provided in
advance of the filing deadline or deemed waived). As promptly as practicable after the Closing (but in any event within four Business
Days thereafter), the Parties shall mutually agree upon and issue a press release announcing the consummation of the Transactions (the
“Closing Press Release”). Promptly after the issuance of the Closing Press Release, the Purchaser shall file a current
report on Form 8-K (the “Closing Filing”) with the Closing Press Release and a description of the Closing as required
by Federal Securities Laws. The Company shall have an opportunity to review and comment upon the Closing Filing prior to filing and Purchaser
shall not file the Closing Filing without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed, and must be provided in advance of the filing deadline or deemed waived).
Section 7.16 Confidential Information.
(a) The
Company acknowledges and agrees that, during the Interim Period and, if this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article IX,
until the expiration of the term under the Confidentiality Agreement, the Purchaser Confidential Information being provided to it in connection
with this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions are subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, the terms of which
are incorporated in this Agreement by reference. The Confidentiality Agreement shall survive the execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement.
(b) The
Purchaser acknowledges that the Company Confidential Information being provided to it in connection with this Agreement and the consummation
of the Transactions are subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated in this Agreement by
reference. The Confidentiality Agreement shall survive the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Purchaser shall have the right to share PIPE Materials (i) with potential Additional PIPE Investors in connection with
any Additional PIPE Investment, subject to customary non-disclosure agreements, and (ii) as required to be disclosed by applicable Law
and SEC rules, including the Exchange Act. This Section 7.16 is not intended to restrict Purchaser’s Representatives or their
respective Affiliates’ ability to compete with the Company or the Purchaser or Merger Sub, but only to prohibit disclosure and knowing
use of Company Confidential Information by the Purchaser, Merger Sub or their respective Representatives.
72
Section 7.17 Post-Closing Board of Directors
and Executive Officers.
(a) The
Parties shall take all necessary action, including causing the directors of the Purchaser to resign, so that effective as of the Closing,
the Purchaser’s board of directors (the “Post-Closing Purchaser Board”) will consist of a three-class “staggered”
board of nine individuals (appointed in accordance with Stock Exchange rules). The Post-Closing Purchaser Board shall consist of eight
directors chosen by the Company (the “Company Directors”) and one director chosen by the Sponsor (the “Sponsor
Director”). The Sponsor Director shall serve as a class III director. Subject to the terms of the Purchaser’s Organizational
Documents, the Purchaser Charter upon Domestication and the Purchaser Bylaws upon Domestication, the Parties shall take all such action
within their power as may be necessary or appropriate such that immediately following the Closing Date, the Post-Closing Purchaser Board
shall initially include such director nominees to be designated by the Company and Sponsor pursuant to written notice to the Purchaser
following the Signing Date. The Parties shall cause the composition of the Post-Closing Purchaser Board and each committee thereof to
comply with applicable Nasdaq and SEC independence and governance requirements as of the Closing, subject to any available phase-in periods.
At or prior to the Closing, the Company and the Purchaser shall provide each initial director with a customary director indemnification
agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such director, the Company and the Purchaser.
(b) The
Parties shall take all action necessary, including causing the officers of the Purchaser to resign, so that the individuals serving as
the officers of the Purchaser immediately after the Closing will be individuals the Company desires to appoint to such role.
(c) The
Company shall designate the Company Directors and the Sponsor shall designate the Sponsor Director by written notice to Purchaser, in
each case, delivered prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. If any of the directors designated by the parties shall
be unable or unwilling to serve at the Closing, the Company or the Purchaser, respectively, shall promptly designate a replacement director
and provide any relevant information about such appointee as the other party may reasonably request.
Section 7.18 Indemnification of Directors
and Officers; Tail Insurance.
(a) For
a period of six years from the Closing Date, the Parties shall, and shall cause the Purchaser and the Surviving Company to, maintain in
effect, in favor of the D&O Indemnified Parties, the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions, of the Purchaser’s,
Merger Sub’s and the Company’s respective Organizational Documents as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date or in
any indemnification agreements of the Purchaser, Merger Sub or the Company, on the one hand, with any D&O Indemnified Party, on the
other hand, as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date. The Parties shall not, and shall cause the Purchaser and the Company not
to, amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of any D&O Indemnified
Party under the respective Organizational Documents and indemnification agreements described in the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, all rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses in respect of any Legal Proceedings pending or asserted or any
claim made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Legal Proceeding or resolution of such claim. From and after
the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall honor, and shall cause the Surviving Company to honor, in accordance with their respective terms,
each of the covenants contained in this Section 7.18 without limit as to time.
73
(b) At
or prior to the Closing, the Purchaser shall obtain a “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy
(the “D&O Tail”) in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to the Closing. Such tail policy shall cover each
Person that is or was a director or officer of the Purchaser, Merger Sub or the Company at any time prior to or at the Closing and who
was covered by any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy of the Purchaser, Merger Sub or the Company at any
time during the policy periods being tailed, including any Person who departed the Purchaser, Merger Sub or the Company prior to the Closing
but was covered under such policies during his or her service. True, correct and complete copies of such policies have been made available
to each of the Purchaser and the Company. With respect to coverage, deductibles and amounts for the six-year period following the Closing,
the D&O Tail shall be on terms no less favorable than those of such applicable policy in effect on the Signing Date. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in no event shall the Purchaser be required to expend on the premium of such D&O Tail in excess of 300% of the sum
of the aggregate annual premiums currently payable by the Purchaser and the aggregate annual premiums currently payable by the Company,
in each case with respect to their respective directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies in effect as of the Signing
Date (the “Premium Cap”). If the D&O Tail providing the coverage required by this Section 7.18(b) is unavailable
at the Premium Cap, then any such D&O Tail shall contain the maximum coverage available at the Premium Cap. The Purchaser shall maintain
the D&O Tail in full force and effect for its full term and cause all obligations under the D&O Tail to be honored by the Surviving
Company, as applicable. No other party shall have any further obligation to purchase or pay for such insurance pursuant to this Section
7.18(b). No claims made under or in respect of the D&O Tail related to any fiduciary or employee of the Company shall be settled
without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(c) The
rights of each D&O Indemnified Party under this Agreement shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such
Person may have under the Organizational Documents of the Purchaser, Merger Sub or the Company, any other indemnification arrangement,
any Law or otherwise. The obligations of the Purchaser and the Company under this Section 7.18(c) shall not be terminated or modified
after the Closing in such a manner as to materially and adversely affect any D&O Indemnified Party without the consent of such D&O
Indemnified Party. The provisions of this Section 7.18 shall survive the Closing and expressly are intended to benefit, and are

Section 10.05 Governing
Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the Transactions,
shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts entered into and to

Domestication and any claims related to internal affairs of Purchaser prior to the Domestication).
Section 10.06 Jurisdiction.
Any Legal Proceeding based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Transactions must be brought in the Court of Chancery

The validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained in this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or
impaired nor shall the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision be affected in any other jurisdiction. Upon a determination
that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal
or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent
and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

Waiver. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified only by execution of a written instrument signed by the Purchaser,

waive compliance by another Party with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party granting such extension or waiver.
Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term
or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of any Party to assert any of its rights under
this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such rights. The approval of this Agreement by the shareholders or stockholders of any
of the Parties shall not restrict the ability of the board of directors of any of the Parties to terminate this Agreement in accordance
with Section 9.01 or to cause such Party to enter into an amendment to this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.10.
Section 10.11 Entire
Agreement. This Agreement and the documents or instruments referred to in this Agreement, including any exhibits and schedules

this Agreement or the Transactions arises after the Closing between or among: (x) the Sponsor, the stockholders, shareholders or holders
of other Equity Securities of the Purchaser or the Sponsor or any of their respective directors, members, partners, officers, employees

(B) such counsel may have represented the Purchaser in a matter substantially related to such dispute or may be handling ongoing matters

the Closing between or among the Purchaser, Merger Sub, the Sponsor or any other member of the Sponsor Group (collectively, “Sponsor-side

hand, the attorney/client privilege, or other applicable privilege or immunity constituting Legally Privileged Communications, and the
expectation of client confidence shall survive the Transactions and belong to the Sponsor Group from and after the Closing. The attorney/client
privilege and the expectation of client confidence with respect to the foregoing shall not pass to or be claimed or controlled by the
Purchaser, the Surviving Company or their respective Affiliates (after the Closing) (other than, if applicable, any such Affiliates that
are members of the Sponsor Group). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any privileged communications or information shared by the Company prior
to the Closing with the Purchaser, Merger Sub or the Sponsor under a common interest agreement shall remain the privileged communications

Purchaser and the Company, on behalf of their respective successors and assigns, agree that, if a dispute with respect to this Agreement
or the Transactions arises after the Closing between or among: (x) the stockholders, shareholders or holders of other Equity Securities
of the Company or any of their respective directors, members, partners, officers, employees or Affiliates (other than the Company or Purchaser)
(collectively, the “Company Group”), on the one hand; and (y) the Surviving Company, Purchaser or any member of the
Sponsor Group, on the other hand, any legal counsel, including Fox, that represented the Company prior to the Closing may represent any
member of the Company Group in such dispute even though: (A) the interests of such Persons may be directly adverse to the Purchaser or

dispute or may be handling ongoing matters for the Purchaser or the Surviving Company. The Purchaser, Merger Sub and the Company, on behalf
of their respective successors and assigns, further agree that, as to all Legally Privileged Communications made or generated prior to
the Closing between or among the Company or any member of the Company Group, on the one hand, and Fox, on the other hand, the attorney/client

prior to the Closing with the Company under a common interest agreement shall remain the privileged communications or information of the
Surviving Company.
85
(b) Company
Privilege; Waiver.
(i) Fox
has represented the Company Group and the Company with respect to the Transactions. All Parties recognize the commonality of interest
that exists and will continue to exist until the Closing, and that such commonality of interest should continue to be recognized after
the Closing. Specifically, the Sponsor Group, Purchaser and the Surviving Company shall not, and shall cause their Affiliates not to,
seek to have Fox be disqualified from representing the Company Group in connection with any dispute that may arise after the Closing between
the Sponsor Group, on the one hand, and Purchaser or the Surviving Company, on the other hand, in connection with this Agreement, the
Ancillary Documents or the Transactions. In connection with any such dispute, the Company Group involved in such dispute (and not the
Sponsor Group (including following the Closing)) will have the right to decide whether or not to waive the attorney-client privilege or
other applicable privilege or immunity constituting Legally Privileged Communications, that may apply to any communications between the
Company Group, the Company (including following the Closing), and their Representatives or Affiliates (collectively, the “Company
Parties”) that occurred, or was made or generated prior to the Closing.
(ii) Without
limiting the foregoing, the Sponsor Group (on their own behalf and on behalf of their Representatives and Affiliates) also acknowledge
and agree that Fox has been and will be providing legal advice to the Company Parties in connection with the Agreement, the Ancillary
Documents, and any Transactions. In such capacity, Fox will have had confidential or privileged communications between Fox and the Company
Parties, including written and electronic communications between or among Fox or the Company Parties, relating to this Agreement, the
Ancillary Documents, and the Transactions (collectively, the “Company Privileged Materials”). The Sponsor Group (on
their own behalf and on behalf of their Representatives and Affiliates) further acknowledge and agree that, at and after the Closing,
the Company Privileged Materials shall belong solely to the Company Group and any privilege or other right related to the Company Privileged
Materials, including the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidences, shall be owned and controlled solely by
the Company Group and shall not pass to or be claimed by the Sponsor Group, the Purchaser or the Surviving Company. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company Group and its Representatives shall reasonably cooperate with the Sponsor Group, Purchaser or the Surviving Company
seeking to assert such privilege in a post-Closing dispute with a Person that is not a member of the Company Group or any of its Affiliates.
In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Parties agree to take the steps reasonably necessary to ensure that all privileges attaching
to the Company Privileged Materials shall survive the Closing, remain in effect and be owned and controlled solely by the Company Group.
The Sponsor Group (on their own behalf and on behalf of their Representatives and Affiliates), the Purchaser and the Company (on behalf
of the Surviving Company) also agree: (A) that they will not, directly or indirectly, obtain or seek to obtain from Fox any such Company
Privileged Materials (or assist any other Person); and (B) not to knowingly access, review, use or rely on any Company Privileged Materials
in any dispute involving any of the Parties after the Closing.
(c) Purchaser
Privilege; Waiver.
(i) Ashurst
Perkins Coie has represented the Sponsor Group, the Purchaser and Merger Sub with respect to the Transactions. All Parties recognize the
commonality of interest that exists and will continue to exist until the Closing, and that such commonality of interest should continue
to be recognized after the Closing. Specifically, the Company Group and, following the Closing, the Purchaser and the Surviving Company,
shall not, and shall cause their Affiliates not to, seek to have Ashurst Perkins Coie be disqualified from representing the Sponsor Group
in connection with any dispute that may arise between the Company Group and, following the Closing, the Purchaser and the Surviving Company,
on the one hand, and the Sponsor Group, on the other hand, in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents or the Transactions.
In connection with any such dispute, the Sponsor Group involved in such dispute (and not the Company Group (including following the Closing))
will have the right to decide whether or not to waive the attorney-client privilege or other applicable privilege or immunity constituting
Legally Privileged Communications that may apply to any communications between the Sponsor Group, the Purchaser (including following the
Closing), Merger Sub and their Representatives or Affiliates (collectively, the “Purchaser Parties”) that occurred,
or was made or generated prior to the Closing.
86
(ii) Without
limiting the foregoing, the Company Group (on their own behalf and on behalf of their Representatives and Affiliates) also acknowledge
and agree that Ashurst Perkins Coie has been and will be providing legal advice to the Purchaser Parties in connection with the Agreement,
the Ancillary Documents, and any Transactions. In such capacity, Ashurst Perkins Coie will have had confidential or privileged communications
between Ashurst Perkins Coie, on the one hand, and the Purchaser Parties, on the other hand, including written and electronic communications
between or among Ashurst Perkins Coie or the Purchaser Parties relating to this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents, and the Transactions
(collectively, the “Purchaser Privileged Materials”). The Company Group (on their own behalf and on behalf of their
Representatives and Affiliates), the Purchaser and the Company (on behalf of the Surviving Company) further acknowledge and agree that,
at and after the Closing, the Purchaser Privileged Materials shall belong solely to the Sponsor Group and any privilege or other right
related to the Purchaser Privileged Materials, including the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidences, shall
be owned and controlled solely by the Sponsor Group and shall not pass to or be claimed by the Company Group or their Affiliates, the
Purchaser or the Surviving Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sponsor Group and its Representatives shall reasonably cooperate
with the Company Group, the Purchaser (following the Closing) or the Surviving Company seeking to assert such privilege in a post-Closing
dispute with a Person that is not a member of the Sponsor Group or any of its Affiliates. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the
Parties agree to take the steps reasonably necessary to ensure that all privileges attaching to the Purchaser Privileged Materials shall
survive the Closing, remain in effect and be owned and controlled solely by the Sponsor Group. The Company Group (on their own behalf
and on behalf of their Representatives and Affiliates), the Purchaser and the Company (on behalf of the Surviving Company) also agree:
(A) that they will not, directly or indirectly, obtain or seek to obtain from Ashurst Perkins Coie any such Purchaser Privileged Materials
(or assist any other Person in seeking to obtain such materials); and (B) not to knowingly access, review, use or rely on any Purchaser
Privileged Materials in any dispute involving any of the Parties after the Closing.
Section 10.16 Waiver
of Claims Against Trust. The Company acknowledges that the Purchaser is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to
affect a Business Combination. The Company further acknowledges that, as described in the IPO Prospectus available at www.sec.gov, substantially
all of the Purchaser’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of the Purchaser’s initial public offering and private placements
of its securities. Substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in the Trust Account for the benefit of the Purchaser, the
Purchaser Shareholders and the underwriters of the Purchaser’s initial public offering. The Company acknowledges that it has been
advised by the Purchaser that the Purchaser may disburse monies from the Trust Account only in the express circumstances described in
the IPO Prospectus. The Company, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, no such Person: (a) now has or shall at any time after the Signing Date have any right, title, interest or claim of
any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions from the Trust Account; or (b) may make any claim against the Trust
Account (including any distributions from the Trust Account), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with
or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any proposed or actual business relationship between the Purchaser, Merger Sub or its Representatives,
on the one hand, and any such Person or its Representatives, on the other hand, or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim
arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any such claims are collectively referred to as, the “Released
Claims”). For and in consideration of the Purchaser and Merger Sub entering into this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are acknowledged, the Company irrevocably waives on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, the Released Claims and any right, title,
interest or claim of any kind they have or may have in the future in or to any monies in the Trust Account. The Company agrees on behalf
of itself and its Affiliates, not to seek recourse against the Trust Account or any funds distributed therefrom as a result of, or arising
out of, this Agreement and any negotiations, Contracts or agreements with the Purchaser or Merger Sub (including any distributions to
the Purchaser Shareholders in respect of Redemptions or deferred underwriting commissions relating to the IPO). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing in this Agreement shall serve to limit or prohibit the Company’s right to pursue a claim against the Purchaser or Merger
Sub for legal relief against monies or other assets held outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other equitable relief
in connection with the consummation of the Transactions so long as such claim would not adversely affect the Purchaser’s ability
to fulfill its obligation to effectuate the Redemption. The Company’s right pursuant to the preceding sentence shall include the
right to bring a claim for the Purchaser to specifically perform its obligations under this Agreement upon the occurrence of the Closing
with respect to the disbursement of the balance of the cash remaining in the Trust Account (after giving effect to the Redemptions) to
the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Trust Agreement. Nothing in this Section 10.16 shall serve to
limit or prohibit any claims that the Company may have in the future against the Purchaser’s or Merger Sub’s assets or funds
that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account to the Purchaser and any assets
that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds). This section will survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.
87
Section 10.17 Non-Recourse.
This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement
or the Transactions may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as Parties and then only with respect to the specific
obligations set forth with respect to such Party. Except to the extent a named Party (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations
undertaken by such named Party), (a) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, shareholder,
stockholder, agent, attorney, advisor, Representative or Affiliate (nor any investment fund or vehicle managed by an Affiliate or portfolio
company of such investment fund and vehicle) of any named Party and (b) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator,
member, partner, shareholder, stockholder, agent, attorney, advisor, Representative or Affiliate (nor any investment fund or vehicle managed
by an Affiliate or portfolio company of such investment fund and vehicle) of any of the foregoing shall have any liability (whether in
contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations
or liabilities of any one or more of the Company, the Purchaser or Merger Sub under this Agreement or for any claim based on, arising
out of, or related to this Agreement or the Transactions.

Disclosure Letter referenced in this Agreement are not part of this Agreement for the purposes of Section 251 of the DGCL. Instead, the

of such disclosure that such disclosure is responsive to such other section or subsection of this Agreement. Certain information set forth

This 2026 Milestone Equity Plan Term Sheet (“Term
Sheet”) is attached as Exhibit E to, and incorporated by reference to, the Business Combination Agreement (the “Agreement”)
made and entered into as of the Signing Date by and between Purchaser, Merger Sub, and the “Company”. This Term Sheet is a
summary of the material terms and conditions of the proposed 2026 Milestone Equity Plan (the “2026 MEP”) to be adopted
by Purchaser. Any capitalized terms not defined herein have the meaning set forth in the Agreement. This summary is not intended to exhaust
all of the terms and conditions of the 2026 MEP, which shall be set forth in the final 2026 MEP document. The terms of the 2026 MEP are
subject to the approval of Purchaser’s stockholders in accordance with applicable Law.
1. Objective
The Parties intend that the 2026 MEP will encourage
certain key employees and other key service providers of Purchaser selected by the board of directors of Purchaser following the Closing,
after taking into account the recommendations of Purchaser’s management following the Closing (such key employees and service providers,
the “Eligible MEP Participants”) to continue their service with Purchaser or its subsidiaries and motivate Eligible MEP Participants
toward the achievement of the completion of certain business goals, including those below. The 2026 MEP is intended to constitute an “unfunded”
plan.
2. Administration.
The 2026 MEP shall be administered by Purchaser’s
board of directors and, following the Closing, the Post-Closing Purchaser Board (both, the “Purchaser Board”). The Purchaser
Board shall have the sole authority to interpret the Plan and to make any determinations required under the 2026 MEP. No PRSU awards will
be granted prior to the Closing Date nor shall any Eligible MEP Participants be selected for awards prior to the Closing Date.
3. Award
Mechanism - Performance Restricted Stock Units
Promptly following the Closing Date, but in no
case prior to the date that awards can be granted under the 2026 MEP in compliance with applicable laws (including the effectiveness of
any registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in respect of the 2026 MEP and the awards granted and shares
issued thereunder), the Purchaser Board will grant awards of restricted stock units subject to performance-based and service-based vesting
(“PRSUs”) to Eligible MEP Participants covering up to the total number of shares subject to the MEP Reserve.
4. Triggering
Events
No Eligible MEP Participant will vest in any PRSUs
unless and until such Eligible MEP Participant remains in continued service with Purchaser or its subsidiaries until the date the Purchaser
Board certifies achievement of one or more of the events set forth below (each, a “Triggering Event” and collectively, the
“Triggering Events”), and, in the case of Triggering Event IV, the Eligible MEP Participant must also remain in service through
the first anniversary of the Closing Date.
Subject to the Eligible MEP Participant’s
continued service with Purchaser or its subsidiaries through the applicable vesting date:
(i) 19.05%
of the shares subject to such Eligible MEP Participant’s PRSU award (3,333,750 of the aggregate shares in the MEP Reserve) will
vest on the date the Purchaser Board certifies that the Surviving Company has achieved Revenue of at least $45,000,000 (subject to adjustment
described below) on a trailing twelve month basis over the three (3) fiscal year period commencing with the first full fiscal year immediately
following the Closing Date (“Triggering Event I”).
(ii) 19.05%
of the shares subject to such Eligible MEP Participant’s PRSU award (3,333,750 of the aggregate shares in the MEP Reserve) will
vest on the date the Purchaser Board certifies that the Surviving Company has achieved Revenue of at least $55,000,000 (subject to adjustment
described below) on a trailing twelve month basis over the three (3) fiscal year period commencing with the first full fiscal year immediately
following the Closing Date (“Triggering Event II”).
(iii) 19.05%
of the shares subject to such Eligible MEP Participant’s PRSU award (3,333,750 of the aggregate shares in the MEP Reserve) will
vest on the date the Purchaser Board certifies that the Surviving Company has achieved Revenue of at least $65,000,000 (subject to adjustment
described below) on a trailing twelve month basis over the three (3) fiscal year period commencing with the first full fiscal year immediately
following the Closing Date (“Triggering Event III”).
(iv) 42.85%
of the shares subject to such Eligible MEP Participant’s PRSU award (7,498,750 of the aggregate shares in the MEP Reserve) will
vest on the date the Purchaser Board certifies that, at any time during the five (5) year period following the Closing Date, the VWAP
of one share of Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq (or the exchange on which the shares of Domesticated Purchaser
Common Stock are then listed) equals or exceeds $12.00 (as adjusted to reflect any stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends,
extraordinary cash dividends, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change
or transaction with respect to Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock, the “Trigger IV Price”) for 20 out of 30 consecutive
trading days during the five (5) year period following the Closing Date (“Triggering Event IV”).
Triggering
Event I, Triggering Event II and Triggering Event III will be tested at the end of every fiscal quarter commencing with the end of the
first full fiscal year following the Closing Date. Triggering Event I, Triggering Event II and Triggering Event III can each be achieved
during the same trailing twelve month period.
If Triggering Event I, Triggering
Event II or Triggering Event III is not achieved by the end of the third full fiscal year following the Closing Date, and/or if Triggering
Event IV is not achieved by the end of the five (5) year period following the Closing Date, in each case as certified by the Purchaser
Board promptly following the end of the applicable period for such Triggering Event, then the portion of each then-outstanding PRSU award
(and all of the shares subject to such portion) allocated to such Triggering Event under such award will be immediately forfeited.
The term “Revenue” shall mean
the consolidated revenue of the Purchaser and its Subsidiaries for the trailing four (4) fiscal quarters, as reported in the Purchaser’s
consolidated financial statements filed with the SEC, prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently with the Company’s historical
accounting policies, and on an audited basis to the extent such filed statements were audited. Revenue shall exclude intercompany revenues.
Revenue shall include, without limitation, revenue attributable to any acquisition, joint venture or other business combination consummated
during such fiscal quarter (each, a “Post-Closing Business Combination” and such revenue, “Business Combination
Revenue”); provided that:
(i) any
such Business Combination Revenue shall only be included from the actual closing date of such transaction through the end of the applicable
measurement period, and shall not be annualized, extrapolated or otherwise adjusted on a pro forma basis;
(ii) if
(x) the Post-Closing Business Combination is consummated prior to the 15th month anniversary of the Closing Date, and (y) any
portion of the consideration paid by the Surviving Company in connection with a Post-Closing Business Combination consists of shares of
common stock or other equity securities of the Surviving Company, then the Revenue target for the applicable measurement period shall
be increased on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of Business Combination Revenue attributable to such Post-Closing Business Combination.
For the avoidance of doubt, if the consideration
for a Post-Closing Business Combination does not include shares of common stock or other equity securities of the Surviving Company or
such Post-Closing Business Combination is consummated following the 15th month anniversary of the Closing Date, then no adjustment
shall be made to the Revenue target with respect to such Post-Closing Business Combination.
5. Acceleration
of Vesting on Change of Control
If, prior to the date the Purchaser
Board certifies the satisfaction of any Triggering Event, the Surviving Company is subject to a Change of Control, then the following
shall apply with respect to any then-outstanding PRSU awards:
(i) to
the extent that any portion of a then-outstanding PRSU award remains eligible to vest upon the satisfaction of Triggering Events I, II,
and/or III, and subject to the holder of such award continuing in service with Purchaser or its subsidiaries through the closing of such
Change of Control, such portion of the then-outstanding PRSU award will become fully vested as of immediately prior to the closing of
the Change of Control and treated in accordance with the terms of the definitive agreement governing the Change of Control; and
(ii) to
the extent that the portion of a then-outstanding PRSU award remains eligible to vest upon the satisfaction of Triggering Event IV, and
subject to the holder of such award continuing in service with Purchaser or its subsidiaries through the closing of such Change of Control,
such portion of the then-outstanding PRSU award will become fully vested as of immediately prior to the closing of the Change of Control
and treated in accordance with the terms of the definitive agreement governing the Change of Control.
6. Continued
Service Requirement
Upon any termination of service of an Eligible
MEP Participant, any then-unvested portion of such Eligible MEP Participant’s PRSU award will be immediately forfeited and the shares
subject to such award will return to the MEP Reserve. The Purchaser Board shall have the right, but not the obligation, to issue new PRSU
awards in respect of such forfeited shares, including to any individual hired to replace the terminated Eligible MEP Participant and any
other then current Eligible MEP Participant.
7. Taxes
All amounts payable under the 2026 MEP will be
subject to applicable withholdings and deductions. No gross-up payments will be made with respect to payments under the 2026 MEP.
In all cases, PRSUs will be settled not later

Purchaser Support Party shall not commit or agree to take any action inconsistent with the foregoing in its capacity as a shareholder
of the Purchaser.
(b) Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, if at any time following the Effective Date and prior to the termination of the Business Combination
Agreement, the board of directors of the Purchaser effects a Modification in Recommendation, then the obligations of the Purchaser Support
Party to vote or consent in accordance with Section 1.5(a), Section 1.5(c) and Section 1.9 shall automatically be
deemed to be modified such that, from and after the occurrence of such Modification in Recommendation, the Purchaser Support Party shall
vote or provide consent in respect of its Subject Securities in the same proportion to the votes cast or consent provided, as applicable,
by the holders of the Purchaser Class A Ordinary Shares.
(c) Prior to the Closing,

other current and former officers and directors (the “Insider Letter”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
such compliance shall include the obligations of the Purchaser Support Party pursuant to the Insider Letter to not redeem any Purchaser
Ordinary Shares owned by the Purchaser Support Party in connection with the Transactions. The Purchaser Support Party confirms and acknowledges,
and shall cause each Insider (as defined in the Insider Letter) to confirm and acknowledge, that the voting obligations set forth in paragraph
1 of the Insider Letter extend to each Transaction Proposal as defined in the Business Combination Agreement, including without limitation
the approval of the Equity Incentive Plan, the 2026 Milestone Equity Plan, the election of members of the Post-Closing Purchaser Board,

of this Agreement; or (b) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of any person in connection with the evaluation, negotiation or entry
into this Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement or the Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict the ability of the Purchaser Support Party to enforce its rights under this Agreement
or any other Ancillary Document to which it is a party or seek any other remedies with respect to any breach of this Agreement or such
other Ancillary Document by any other party to this Agreement or such other Ancillary Document, including by commencing any action in
connection with this Agreement or any other Ancillary Document.
Section 1.7 Further Assurances.
The Purchaser Support Party shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary

the Purchaser Support Party’s obligations under this Agreement.
Section 1.9 Insider Letter.
Neither the Purchaser Support Party nor the Purchaser shall amend, terminate or otherwise modify the Insider Letter without the Company’s
prior written consent other than to remove the lock-up obligations under paragraphs 7(a) and 7(b) with effect from the Closing (and make
other necessary adjustments as a result of the removal of such obligations); provided however, that any such removal shall
not be effective with respect to any particular Insider (as defined in the Insider Letter) unless and until such Insider agrees in writing
to be bound by the terms of the Lock-up Agreement with respect to such Insider. The Purchaser Support Party acknowledges that in connection
with the Transactions, the Purchaser will adopt the Purchaser Bylaws upon Domestication, and the Purchaser Support Party agrees to be
bound by the lock-up provisions applicable to it as set forth in such Purchaser Bylaws upon Domestication.

Section 1.10 Waiver of
Anti-Dilution Provision. Subject to the consummation of the Transactions, the Purchaser Support Party waives (for itself and for its
successors, heirs and assigns), to the fullest extent permitted by law and the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association
of the Purchaser (as may be amended from time to time, the “Articles”), all anti-dilution rights that would otherwise
result in Purchaser Class B Ordinary Shares held by the Purchaser Support Party converting into Purchaser Class A Ordinary Shares on a
greater than one-for-one basis in connection with the Transactions. The waiver specified in this Section 1.10 shall be applicable
only in connection with the Transactions and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any Purchaser Class A Ordinary Shares,
shares of Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock or equity-linked securities issued in connection with the Transactions and the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. If the Business Combination Agreement shall be terminated for any reason, the foregoing waiver shall be
void and of no force and effect.
Section 1.11 Purchaser
Support Party Indemnity. For a period of six years after the Closing Date, the Company will indemnify, exonerate and hold harmless
the Purchaser Support Party and such Person’s respective members, partners, managers and officers from and against all third-party
actions, causes of action, suits, claims, liabilities, losses, damages and costs and out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such third-party
actions, causes of actions, suits, claims, liabilities, losses, damages and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses)
(“Indemnified Liabilities”) incurred by the Purchaser Support Party on or after the date of this Agreement, arising
out of any third-party action, cause of action, suit, litigation, investigation, inquiry, arbitration or claim arising from or relating
to this Agreement, the entry by the Purchaser Support Party into this Agreement, and the compliance with the Purchaser Support Party’s
obligations in this Agreement, in any such case, that names the Purchaser Support Party as a defendant (or co-defendant). The preceding
sentence shall not apply to: (a) any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent arising out of any breach by the Purchaser Support Party or
such Person’s members, managers and officers of this Agreement or any other agreement between the Purchaser Support Party or such
Person’s members, managers and officers, on the one hand, and the Company or any of its subsidiaries, on the other hand; or (b)
the willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud of the Purchaser Support Party or such Person’s members, managers and officers.
Section 1.12 Founder Share
Forfeiture. At or immediately prior to the Closing, the Purchaser Support Party shall irrevocably forfeit, surrender and deliver to
the Purchaser for cancellation, for no consideration, 750,000 Purchaser Class B Ordinary Shares, together with all Company Ordinary Shares
issued upon conversion thereof, including any securities paid as dividends or distributions with respect to or into which such shares
are exchanged or converted (or, following the Sponsor Share Conversion and the Domestication, the equivalent number of shares of Domesticated
Purchaser Common Stock). Upon such forfeiture, such shares shall be automatically cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration
shall be delivered in exchange therefor. Purchaser is authorized to deliver any notices required to be delivered to its transfer agent
and take such further actions in order to terminate and cancel any shares that have been forfeited as provided in this Section
1.12. For applicable tax purposes, it is intended that the forfeiture contemplated by this Section 1.12 be treated
in the nature of a capital contribution under Section 118 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and
the principles of Commissioner v. Fink, 483 U.S. 89 (1987). The forfeiture contemplated by this Section 1.12 shall
be effective immediately prior to the Effective Time.
Section 1.13 Commitment
Shares.
(a) In connection with the
PIPE Investment, the Purchaser Support Party shall, at the Closing, transfer to the Purchaser for re-allocation to each PIPE Investor,
0.5 Purchaser Class B Ordinary Shares (or, following the Sponsor Share Conversion and the Domestication, shares of Domesticated Purchaser
Common Stock) (the “Commitment Shares”) for each share of Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock purchased by such PIPE
Investor as part of a Unit or held by such PIPE Investor as a Non-Redemption Share (each as defined in the applicable PIPE Agreement)
through the Merger Closing. The aggregate number of Commitment Shares deliverable by the Purchaser Support Party pursuant to this Section
1.13 shall not exceed 1,000,000 shares.
4
(b) The delivery of Commitment
Shares pursuant to this Section 1.13 is in connection with and as additional consideration for the PIPE Investors’ commitments
under the PIPE Agreements, the debt-for-equity exchange transactions contemplated by the PIPE Agreements, and the Purchaser Support Party’s
interest in consummating the Transactions. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Commitment Shares do not constitute a placement
fee, commission, or similar payment.
Section 1.14 Warrant Cancellation.
(a) In connection with and
as additional consideration for the Company's consent to exchange certain convertible notes into equity securities of the Company and
to facilitate the consummation of the Transactions, the Purchaser Support Party shall, at or immediately prior to the Closing, surrender
and deliver to the Purchaser for cancellation, for no additional consideration, 2,000,000 Cayman Purchaser Warrants held by Purchaser
Support Party (or, following the Domestication, the equivalent number of Domesticated Purchaser Warrants) (the “Cancelled Warrants”).
Upon such surrender and delivery, the Cancelled Warrants shall be automatically cancelled and shall cease to exist.
(b) The parties acknowledge
and agree that the cancellation of the Cancelled Warrants pursuant to this Section 1.14 constitutes additional consideration flowing
to the Company in connection with the debt-for-equity exchange transactions contemplated by the PIPE Agreements. The cancellation of the
Cancelled Warrants is not a commitment fee, placement fee, or similar payment, but rather reflects the reduction of warrant overhang as
consideration for the Company’s consent and cooperation.
(c) The obligations of the
Purchaser Support Party under this Section 1.14 are conditioned upon and shall only become effective upon the substantially concurrent
consummation of the debt-for-equity exchange transactions contemplated by the applicable PIPE Agreements. If such debt-for-equity exchange
transactions are not consummated substantially concurrently with the Closing, the Purchaser Support Party shall have no obligation to
cancel the Cancelled Warrants.
(d) For applicable tax purposes,
it is intended that the warrant cancellation contemplated by this Section 1.14 be treated in the nature of a capital contribution
under Section 118 of the Code and the principles of Commissioner v. Fink, 483 U.S. 89 (1987).

action.

WHEREAS, the Stockholder
is the record and beneficial owner of the number and class or series (as applicable) of issued and outstanding shares of Company Common

A hereto (the “Owned Securities”, and together with any other shares of Company Stock or other Equity Securities
of the Company that the Stockholder acquires record or beneficial ownership of after the date hereof, collectively, the “Subject
Company Securities”); and
WHEREAS, in consideration
for the benefits to be received by the Stockholder under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and as a material inducement
to Purchaser agreeing to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the Stockholder
desires to enter into this Agreement and to be bound by the agreements, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises and the mutual promises set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, each intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1.
Company Stockholder Consent and Related Matters.
(a) As
promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within two (2) Business Days following the date on which the Proxy Statement/Registration
Statement has been declared effective by the SEC and the prospectus to such Proxy Statement/Registration Statement has been filed and
distributed), the Stockholder, in its, his or her capacity as a stockholder of the Company, shall duly execute and deliver to the Company
and Purchaser the stockholder written consent pursuant to which the Stockholder shall irrevocably and unconditionally consent with respect
to all Subject Company Securities entitled to vote thereon to the adoption and approval of the Business Combination Agreement, the Transactions,
the Merger, and each other matter set forth in the Written Consent or otherwise necessary or reasonably requested by the Company or Purchaser
for consummation of the Merger or the other Transactions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, prior to the Closing, the
Stockholder shall vote (or cause to be voted) the Subject Company Securities in favor of and/or consent to any such other matters, actions
or proposals necessary or reasonably requested by the Company or Purchaser for consummation of the Merger or the other Transactions. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, prior to the Closing, the Stockholder shall vote (or cause to be voted) the Subject Company
Securities against and withhold consent with respect to (i) any Acquisition Proposal with respect to the Company or any proposal or offer
that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal with respect to the Company or (ii) any other matter,
action or proposal that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any of the Company’s covenants, agreements or obligations
under the Business Combination Agreement or otherwise reasonably be expected to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely
affect the consummation of the Merger or any of the other Transactions.
(b) Without
limiting any other rights or remedies of Purchaser, the Stockholder hereby irrevocably appoints Purchaser or any officer of Purchaser
designated by Purchaser as the Stockholder’s agent, attorney-in-fact and proxy (with full power of substitution and resubstitution),
for and in the name, place and stead of the Stockholder, (i) to attend on behalf of the Stockholder any meeting of the Company Stockholders
with respect to the matters described in Section 1(a), (ii) to include the Subject Company Securities in any computation for purposes
of establishing a quorum at any such meeting of the Company Stockholders and (iii) to vote (or cause to be voted), or deliver a written
consent (or withhold consent) with respect to, the Subject Company Securities on the matters specified in, and in accordance and consistent
with, Section 1(a) in connection with any meeting of the Company Stockholders or any action by written consent by the Company Stockholders
(including the Written Consent), in each case, in the event that the Stockholder fails to perform or otherwise comply with the covenants,
agreements or obligations set forth in Section 1(a).
(c) The
proxy granted by the Stockholder pursuant to Section 1(b) is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable
proxy and is granted in consideration for Purchaser entering into the Business Combination Agreement and agreeing to consummate the transactions
contemplated thereby. The proxy granted by the Stockholder pursuant to Section 1(b) is also a durable proxy and shall survive the
bankruptcy, dissolution, death, incapacity or other inability to act by the Stockholder and shall revoke any and all prior proxies granted
by the Stockholder with respect to the Subject Company Securities. The vote or consent of the proxyholder in accordance with Section
1(b) and with respect to the matters described in Section 1(a) shall control in the event of any conflict between such vote
or consent by the proxyholder of the Subject Company Securities and a vote or consent by the Stockholder of the Subject Company Securities
(or any other Person with the power to vote or provide consent with respect to the Subject Company Securities) with respect to the matters
described in Section 1(a). The proxyholder may not exercise the proxy granted pursuant to Section 1(b) on any matter except
for those matters described in Section 1(a).
2
2.
Other Covenants and Agreements.
(a) The
Stockholder hereby irrevocably consents to the conversion of all Subject Company Securities that are Company Preferred Stock into shares
of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 4 of Part B of Article IV of the Company’s certificate of incorporation, with such
conversion to be contingent upon, and effective as of immediately prior to, the Closing.
(b) The
Stockholder agrees that the Stockholder shall (i) be bound by and subject to (A) Section 7.06 (No Solicitation), Section 7.15
(Public Announcements), Section 7.16 (Confidential Information) and Section 10.16 (Trust Account Waiver) of the Business
Combination Agreement to the same extent as such provisions apply to the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, as if the Stockholder
is directly party thereto, and (ii) not, directly or indirectly, take any action that the Company is prohibited from taking pursuant to
Section 7.06(a) of the Business Combination Agreement.
(c) The
Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser is entering into the Business Combination Agreement in reliance upon the Stockholder
entering into this Agreement and agreeing to be bound by, and perform, or otherwise comply with, as applicable, the agreements, covenants
and obligations contained in this Agreement and but for the Stockholder entering into this Agreement and agreeing to be bound by, and
perform, or otherwise comply with, as applicable, the agreements, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement, Purchaser would
not have entered into or agreed to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or the Ancillary Documents.
3. Stockholder
Representations and Warranties. The Stockholder represents and warrants to Purchaser and the Company on and as of the date hereof,
as follows:
(a) If
the Stockholder is an entity, the Stockholder is a corporation, limited liability company or other applicable business entity duly organized
or formed, as applicable, validly existing and in good standing (or the equivalent thereof, if applicable, in each case, with respect
to the jurisdictions that recognize the concept of good standing or any equivalent thereof) under the Laws of its jurisdiction of formation
or organization (as applicable).
(b) The
Stockholder has, if the Stockholder is an entity, the requisite corporate, limited liability company or other similar power and authority,
and if the Stockholder is a person, the capacity, right and authority, to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform the Stockholder’s
covenants, agreements and obligations hereunder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, those covenants, agreements and obligations hereunder
that relate to the provisions of the Business Combination Agreement), and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. If the Stockholder
is an entity, the execution and delivery of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate (or other similar) action
on the part of the Stockholder. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Stockholder and constitutes a valid,
legal and binding agreement of the Stockholder (assuming that this Agreement is duly authorized, executed and delivered by Purchaser and
the Company), enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other Laws affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights and subject to general principles of equity).
(c) No
consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Entity is required on the part of
the Stockholder with respect to the Stockholder’s execution, delivery or performance of his, her or its covenants, agreements or
obligations under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, those covenants, agreements and obligations under this Agreement
that relate to the provisions of the Business Combination Agreement) or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except
for any consents, approvals, authorizations, designations, declarations, waivers or filings, the absence of which would not adversely
affect the ability of the Stockholder to perform, or otherwise comply with, any of the Stockholder’s covenants, agreements or obligations
hereunder in any material respect.
3
(d) None
of the execution or delivery of this Agreement by the Stockholder, the performance by the Stockholder of any of the Stockholder’s
covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, those covenants, agreements and obligations
under this Agreement that relate to the provisions of the Business Combination Agreement) or the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby will, directly or indirectly (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) (i) to the extent Stockholder is an entity,
result in any breach of any provision of the Stockholder’s governing documents, (ii) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute
a default or give rise to any right of termination, Consent, cancellation, amendment, modification, suspension, revocation or acceleration
under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any Contract to which the Stockholder is a party, (iii) violate, or constitute a
breach under, any Order or applicable Law to which the Stockholder or any of the Stockholder’s properties or assets are bound or
(iv) result in the creation of any Lien upon the Subject Company Securities, except, in the case of any of clauses (ii) and (iii) above,
as would not adversely affect the ability of the Stockholder to perform, or otherwise comply with, any of the Stockholder’s covenants,
agreements or obligations hereunder in any material respect.
(e) The
Stockholder is the record and beneficial owner of the Owned Securities and has valid, good and marketable title to the Owned Securities,
free and clear of all Liens (other than transfer restrictions under applicable Securities Law or under the Company Organizational Documents
or any stockholders’ agreement to which the Stockholder is a party). Except for the Equity Securities of the Company set forth on
Schedule A hereto, together with any other Equity Securities of the Company that the Stockholder acquires record or beneficial ownership
after the date hereof in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement, the Stockholder does not own, beneficially or of record,
any Equity Securities of the Company or have the right to acquire any Equity Securities of the Company. The Stockholder has the sole right
to vote (and provide consent in respect of, as applicable) the Owned Securities and, except for this Agreement and the Business Combination
Agreement, the Stockholder is not party to or bound by (i) any option, warrant, purchase right, or other Contract that could (either alone
or in connection with one or more events, developments or events (including the satisfaction or waiver of any conditions precedent)) require
the Stockholder to Transfer any of the Subject Company Securities or (ii) any voting trust, proxy or other Contract with respect to the
voting or Transfer of any of the Subject Company Securities that would adversely affect the ability of the Stockholder to perform, or
otherwise comply with, any of the Stockholder’s covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder in any material respect.
(f) There
is no Proceeding pending or, to the Stockholder’s knowledge, threatened in writing against or involving the Stockholder or any of
the Stockholder’s Affiliates that, if adversely decided or resolved, would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the ability
of the Stockholder to perform, or otherwise comply with, any of its covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement in any material
respect.
(g) The
Stockholder, on the Stockholder’s own behalf and on behalf of the Stockholder’s Representatives, acknowledges, represents,
warrants and agrees that (i) the Stockholder has conducted the Stockholder’s own independent review and analysis of, and, based
thereon, has formed an independent judgment concerning, the business, assets, condition, operations and prospects of Purchaser and the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement and the other Ancillary Documents to which the Stockholder
is or will be a party and (ii) the Stockholder has been furnished with or given access to such documents and information about Purchaser
and its business and operations as the Stockholder and the Stockholder’s Representatives have deemed necessary to enable the Stockholder
to make an informed decision with respect to the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the other Ancillary Documents
to which the Stockholder is or will be a party and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
4
(h) In
entering into this Agreement and the other Ancillary Documents to which the Stockholder is or will be a party, the Stockholder has relied
solely on the Stockholder’s own investigation and analysis and the representations and warranties expressly set forth in the Ancillary
Documents to which the Stockholder is or will be a party and no other representations or warranties of Purchaser, the Company or any other
Person, either express or implied, and the Stockholder, on the Stockholder’s own behalf and on behalf of the Stockholder’s Representatives,
acknowledges, represents, warrants and agrees that, except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement
or in the other Ancillary Documents to which the Stockholder is or will be a party, none of the Purchaser Related Persons, the Company
nor any other Person makes or has made any representation or warranty, either express or implied, in connection with or related to this
Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement or the other Ancillary Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
4. Transfer
of Subject Company Securities. Except as expressly contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or with the prior written consent
of Purchaser (such consent to be given or withheld in its sole discretion), from and after the date hereof, until the termination of this
Agreement pursuant to Section 5, the Stockholder agrees not to (a) Transfer any of the Subject Company Securities, (b) enter into (i)
any option, warrant, purchase right, or other Contract that could (either alone or in connection with one or more events, developments
or events (including the satisfaction or waiver of any conditions precedent)) require the Stockholder to Transfer the Subject Company
Securities or (ii) any voting trust, proxy or other Contract with respect to the voting or Transfer of the Subject Company Securities,
or (c) enter into any Contract to take, or cause to be taken, any of the actions set forth in clauses (a) or (b); provided, however, that
the foregoing shall not apply to any Transfer (A) to any Affiliates of the Stockholder; (B) in the case of an individual, by gift to a
member of one of the individual’s immediate family, to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate
family or an Affiliate of such person; (C) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the
individual; (D) by virtue of the Stockholder’s organizational documents upon liquidation or dissolution of the Stockholder; or (E)

that (x) the Stockholder shall, and shall cause any transferee of any Transfer of the type set forth in clauses (A) through (E), to enter
into a written agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, agreeing to be bound by this Agreement and the Lock-Up Agreement prior and as a condition to the occurrence of such Transfer, and (y) nothing in this Agreement shall relieve,
limit or supersede any obligation, transfer restriction, right of first refusal or right of co-sale to which a Stockholder is subject.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Transfer” means any, direct or indirect, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, mortgage,
exchange, hypothecation, grant of a security interest or encumbrance in or disposition of an interest (whether with or without consideration,
whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law or otherwise).
5. Termination.
This Agreement and all of its provisions shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier of (a) the Effective Time
and (b) the termination of the Business Combination Agreement prior to the Closing in accordance with its terms. Upon such termination
of this Agreement, all obligations of the parties under this Agreement will terminate, without any liability or other obligation on the
part of any party hereto to any Person in respect hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby, and no party hereto shall have any claim
against another (and no person shall have any rights against such party), whether under contract, tort or otherwise, with respect to the
subject matter hereof; provided, however, that the termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Stockholder from liability for
any breach of this Agreement prior to such termination. Section 2(a), this Section 5 and Sections 7 through 13
of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
5
6. Fiduciary
Duties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) the Stockholder makes no agreement or understanding herein
in any capacity other than in such Stockholder’s capacity as a record holder and beneficial owner of the Owned Securities, and not

of the Company or as an officer, employee or fiduciary of the Company, in each case, acting in such person’s capacity as a director,
officer, employee or fiduciary of the Company.

the accuracy of the Subscriber’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 7, in connection with the offer, sale and delivery
of the Subscribed Units in the manner contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, it is not necessary to register the Subscribed Units

to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof.
(j) Diligence Disclaimer. Neither
the due diligence investigation conducted by the Subscriber in connection with making its decision to acquire the Securities nor any representations

if required under the terms of such arrangement, the Subscriber may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured
parties. Such a pledge or transfer shall not be subject to approval of the Issuer and no legal opinion of counsel of the pledgee, secured
party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith; provided that the Subscriber and its pledgee comply with the other provisions

ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.

the transactions contemplated hereby (“Disclosure Time”), and (b) file a Current Report on Form 8-K, including the
Transaction Agreement and the investor presentation provided to the Subscriber, or the material non-public information contained therein,
as exhibits thereto, with the SEC within the time required by the Exchange Act. From and after the issuance of such press release, each
of the Issuer and the Company represent to the Subscriber that it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered
to the Subscriber by or on behalf of the Issuer, the Company or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, and the Subscriber shall no longer be subject to any confidentiality
or similar obligations under any current agreement, whether written or oral, with the Issuer, the Company or any of their respective officers,
directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement. The Subscriber shall not
issue any press release or make any other similar public statement with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior
written consent of the Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Issuer,
the Company or the Subscriber shall publicly disclose the name of any other party to this Agreement, or include the name of any other
party in any filing with the SEC, any regulatory agency or Nasdaq or the NYSE, as applicable, without the prior written consent of the
party being disclosed, except to the extent such disclosure is required by applicable law, SEC, Nasdaq or NYSE rules, or at the request
of any governmental or regulatory agency or as required by legal process, in which case, to the extent legally permissible, written notice
of such disclosure permitted under this clause shall be made to the other party prior to or as soon as reasonably practicable following
such disclosure.
16
(d) Non-Public Information. Following
the Disclosure Time or otherwise as required by applicable law, each of the Issuer and the Company covenants and agrees that neither it,
nor any other person acting on its behalf, will provide the Subscriber with any information that constitutes, or the Issuer or the Company,
as applicable, reasonably believes constitutes, material non-public information, unless prior thereto the Subscriber shall have consented
in writing to the receipt of such information and agreed with the Issuer or the Company, as applicable, to keep such information confidential.
The Issuer and the Company each understand and confirm that the Subscriber shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions
in securities of the Issuer; provided that each Subscriber shall be solely responsible for its compliance with federal, state and foreign
securities laws.
(e) Listing of Securities. The
Issuer hereby agrees to cause the Shares and Warrant Shares to be listed on Nasdaq or the NYSE, as applicable, and to ensure and maintain
the eligibility of such securities for electronic transfer through The Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation,
including by timely payment of fees to such clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.
(f) Certain Transactions and Confidentiality.
The Subscriber covenants that neither it, nor any affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it, has executed
or will execute any purchases or sales of any of the Issuer’s securities during the period that commenced at the time that the Subscriber
first learned of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Subscription
Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 8(c). The Subscriber covenants
that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Issuer pursuant to
the initial press release as described in Section 8(c), the Subscriber will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms
of the Transactions and the transactions contemplated hereby, provided that Subscriber is permitted to disclose such items to its and
its affiliates’ representatives, employees, advisers, and counsel on a need to know basis and who are obligated to keep such information
confidential and agree not to trade on any such confidential information, or otherwise where required pursuant to applicable law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer
and the Company expressly acknowledge and agree that (i) the Subscriber makes no representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will
not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Issuer after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Subscription
Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 8(c), and (ii) the Subscriber
shall not be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Issuer in accordance with applicable securities
laws from and after such public announcement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the case that the Subscriber is a multi-managed investment
vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of the Subscriber’s assets, this Section 8(g) shall
only apply with respect to the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Subscription
Agreement and any other portfolio manager that has direct knowledge of this investment and (ii) the representations set forth in this
Section 8(g) shall not apply to any other entity, affiliate or client under common management with the Subscriber that has no knowledge
of this Subscription Agreement or of the Subscriber’s participation in the Transactions.
17
(g) Subscriber Undertaking. The
Issuer may request from the Subscriber such additional information as the Issuer may deem reasonably necessary to evaluate the eligibility
of the Subscriber to acquire the Securities, and the Subscriber shall promptly provide such information to the Issuer upon such request,
to the extent readily available and consistent with its internal policies and procedures and within the Subscriber’s possession
and control or otherwise readily available to the Subscriber, and provided that the Issuer agrees to keep confidential any such information
provided by the Subscriber.
(h) No Short Sales. The Subscriber
hereby agrees that, from the date of this Agreement until the Merger Closing, neither Subscriber nor any person or entity acting on behalf
of Subscriber or pursuant to any understanding with Subscriber will engage in any Short Sales with respect to securities of the Issuer.
For purposes of this Section 8(i), “Short Sales” shall include, without limitation, all “short sales”
as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges (other
than pledges in the ordinary course of business as part of prime brokerage arrangements), forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls,
swaps and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or
foreign regulated brokers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) nothing herein shall prohibit other entities under common management with
Subscriber that have no knowledge of this Subscription Agreement or of Subscriber’s participation in the Transactions (including
Subscriber’s controlled affiliates and/or affiliates) from entering into any Short Sales and (B) in the case of a Subscriber that
is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Subscriber’s assets and
the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Subscriber’s
assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that
made the investment decision to purchase the Units.
(i) Most Favored Nation. In the
event at or prior to the Closing the Issuer or the Sponsor enters into any Other Subscription Agreement, or amends, modifies or waives
any term of any Other Subscription Agreement, in each case on terms (whether relating to purchase price, discount, warrant coverage, commitment
or bonus shares, registration rights, lock-up, transfer restrictions, governance or otherwise) that are more favorable in any material
respect to the applicable subscriber than the terms of this Subscription Agreement are to the Subscriber, then (x) the Issuer shall promptly
notify the Subscriber in writing and furnish a copy of the relevant agreement, amendment or waiver, and (y) such more favorable terms
shall automatically be deemed incorporated into this Subscription Agreement for the benefit of the Subscriber, unless the Subscriber notifies
the Issuer in writing that it elects not to receive the benefit of such terms; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to
the [●] Notes or other agreements between the Issuer or the Sponsor with [●] and/or one or more
of its affiliates or managed funds in connection with the Transactions. The Issuer shall deliver to the Subscriber at or prior to the
Closing a certificate of an executive officer of the Issuer certifying that no Other Subscription Agreement contains terms more favorable
to any subscriber than the terms of this Subscription Agreement, or otherwise identifying any such more favorable terms.
18
9. Termination. This Subscription
Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall
terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of: (a) the mutual written
agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement; (b) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement
is terminated in accordance with its terms; or (c) if the Merger Closing has not occurred on or prior to March 31, 2027, at the election
of the Subscriber; provided that (i) nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time
of termination, and (ii) each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover reasonable and documented losses,
liabilities or damages arising from such breach. The Issuer shall notify the Subscriber of the termination of the Transaction Agreement
promptly after the termination of such agreement and the provisions of this Section 9 and Sections 11 and 12 will
survive any termination of this Subscription Agreement and continue indefinitely.
10. Registration Rights.
(a) The Issuer agrees that, within thirty
(30) calendar days after the Closing Date (the “Filing Date”), the Issuer will file with the SEC (at the Issuer’s
sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Subscriber Shares (as defined below) (the initial registration
statement and any other registration statement that may be filed by the Issuer under this Section 10, the “Resale Registration
Statement”). The Issuer shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Resale Registration Statement declared effective as
soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 60th calendar day (or 90th calendar day if the
SEC notifies the Issuer that it will “review” the Resale Registration Statement) following the Merger Closing Date and (ii)
the second (2nd) Business Day after the date the Issuer is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Resale
Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, as may be delayed
pursuant to this Section 10, the “Effectiveness Date”). The Issuer agrees that the Issuer will cause such Resale
Registration Statement or another registration statement (which may be a “shelf” registration statement) to remain effective
until the earlier of (i) two (2) years from the date of effectiveness of the initial Resale Registration Statement, (ii) the date on which
the Subscriber ceases to hold the Subscriber Shares covered by such Resale Registration Statement, or (iii) the first date on which the
Subscriber can sell all of its Subscriber Shares under Rule 144 of the Securities Act without restriction, including without limitation,
any volume or manner of sale restrictions and without the requirement for the Issuer to be in compliance with the current public information
required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable). The Issuer’s obligations to include the Subscriber Shares in the
Resale Registration Statement are contingent upon the Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Issuer such information regarding the Subscriber,
the securities of the Issuer held by the Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Subscriber Shares as shall be reasonably
requested by the Issuer to effect the registration of the Subscriber Shares (including disclosure of its beneficial ownership of the Subscriber
Shares, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act), and the Subscriber shall execute such documents in connection
with such registration as the Issuer may reasonably request that are customary of a selling shareholder in similar situations; provided
that the Subscriber shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be
subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Subscriber Shares. Any failure by the Issuer to file the Resale
Registration Statement by the Filing Date or for the Resale Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Effectiveness Date
shall not otherwise relieve the Issuer of its obligations to file or effect the Resale Registration Statement as set forth in this Section
10. In no event shall the Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Resale Registration Statement unless requested
by the SEC; provided that if the SEC requests that the Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Resale Registration
Statement, the Subscriber will have the option, in its sole and absolute discretion, to either (i) have an opportunity to withdraw from
the Resale Registration Statement, in which case the Issuer’s obligation to register the Subscriber Shares will be deemed satisfied,
or (ii) be included as such in the Resale Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents the Issuer from including
any or all of the Issuer Shares proposed to be registered under the Resale Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule
415 of the Securities Act for the resale of Issuer Shares by the applicable shareholders or otherwise, such Resale Registration Statement
shall register for resale such number of Issuer Shares as is equal to the maximum number of Issuer Shares permitted by the SEC. In such
event, the number of Issuer Shares to be registered for each selling shareholder named in the Resale Registration Statement (including
the number of Subscriber Shares to be registered for the Subscriber) shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders and,
as promptly as practicable after being permitted to register additional Issuer Shares under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the Issuer
shall amend the Resale Registration Statement or file a new Resale Registration Statement to register such additional Issuer Shares (including
the applicable Subscriber Shares) and cause such amendment or new Resale Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable
thereafter. For purposes of this Section 10, “Issuer Shares” means the Issuer’s equity securities, and
“Subscriber Shares” means the Shares, Warrant Shares, Commitment Shares and, to the extent applicable, Non-Redeemed
Shares, in each case held by the Subscriber and registrable for resale pursuant to this Section 10, together with any other equity security
of the Issuer issued or issuable with respect to such securities by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger,
exchange, replacement or similar event or otherwise.
19
(b) In the case of the registration,
qualification, exemption or compliance effected by the Issuer pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall, upon reasonable
request, inform the Subscriber as to the status of such registration, qualification, exemption and compliance. At its expense, the Issuer
shall:
(i) except for such times as the Issuer
is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Resale Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable
efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which the Issuer determines
to obtain, continuously effective with respect to Subscriber, and to keep the applicable Resale Registration Statement or any subsequent
shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions;
(ii) advise Subscriber
within three (3) Business Days:
(A) when a Resale Registration Statement
or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when such Resale Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto
has become effective;
(B) of any request by the SEC for amendments
or supplements to the Resale Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;
(C) of the issuance by the SEC of any
stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Resale Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;
(D) of the receipt by the Issuer of
any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Subscriber Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction
or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and
(E) subject to the provisions in this
Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Resale Registration Statement or
prospectus included therein so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made) not misleading.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
set forth herein, the Issuer shall not, when so advising Subscriber of such events listed above, provide Subscriber with any material,
nonpublic information regarding the Issuer other than to the extent that providing notice to Subscriber of the occurrence of the events
listed in (A) through (C) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding the Issuer;
(iii) use its commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Resale Registration Statement as soon as reasonably
practicable;
(iv) upon the occurrence of any event
contemplated above, except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus
forming part of a Resale Registration Statement, the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable
prepare a post-effective amendment to such Resale Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other
required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Subscriber Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
20
(v) use its commercially reasonable efforts
to cause all Subscriber Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which Issuer Shares have been listed; and
(vi) use its commercially reasonable efforts
to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Subscriber Shares contemplated hereby.
(c) The Issuer may delay filing or suspend
the use of any such registration statement (x) if it determines, upon advice of external legal counsel, that in order for the registration
statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed, (y) as may be necessary in connection
with the preparation and filing of a post-effective amendment to the Resale Registration Statement following the filing of the Issuer’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for its first completed fiscal year, or (z) if the Issuer’s Board of Directors, upon advice of external
legal counsel, reasonably believes that such filing or use would materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of the
Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, or would require premature disclosure of information that could materially adversely affect the Issuer
(each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that the Issuer may not delay filing
or suspend use of any registration statement on more than two occasions or for more than forty-five (45) consecutive calendar days or
more than ninety (90) total calendar days, in each case in any 12-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Issuer of
the happening of any Suspension Event (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information) during the period that the
Resale Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Resale Registration Statement or related prospectus
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, the Subscriber
agrees that it will (i) immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Subscriber Shares under the Resale Registration Statement until
the Subscriber receives (A) (x) copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred
to above and (y) notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or (B) notice from the Issuer that it may resume such offers
and sales, and (ii) maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Issuer unless otherwise
required by applicable law. If so directed by the Issuer, the Subscriber will deliver to the Issuer or, in Subscriber’s sole discretion,
destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Subscriber Shares in the Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this
obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Subscriber Shares shall not apply to (i) the extent the Subscriber
is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (A) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional
requirements or (B) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) copies stored electronically on archival
servers as a result of automatic data back-up. In addition to the removal of restrictive legends at the Subscriber’s request contemplated
by Section 8(a)(iv), during any periods that a Resale Registration Statement registering the resale of the Subscriber Shares is
effective or when the Subscriber Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or may be sold without restriction under
Rule 144, the Issuer shall, at its expense, cause the Issuer’s transfer agent to remove any restrictive legends on any Subscriber
Shares sold by the Subscriber within two (2) Business Days of the date that such Subscriber Shares are sold and the Subscriber notifies
the Issuer of such sale (and prior to removal the Subscriber provides the Issuer with any customary representations in connection therewith).
In connection therewith, if required by the Issuer’s transfer agent, the Issuer will promptly cause an opinion of counsel to be
delivered to and maintained with its transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the
transfer agent that authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such Subscriber Shares without any such legend.
21
(d) From and after the Closing, the
Issuer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Subscriber (to the extent a seller under the Resale Registration Statement), and
the officers, employees, affiliates, directors, partners, members, managers, investment advisors, attorneys and agents of the Subscriber,
and each person, if any, who controls the Subscriber (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act) (the Subscriber and each of the foregoing, a “Subscriber Indemnified Party”), from and against any losses, judgments,
claims, damages, liabilities or reasonable costs or expenses (including reasonable external attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”),
that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Resale Registration
Statement, any prospectus included in the Resale Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto
or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Issuer of the
Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its
obligations under this Section 10, except to the extent that such untrue or alleged untrue statements or omissions or alleged omissions
are based solely upon information furnished in writing to the Issuer by a Subscriber Indemnified Party expressly for use therein. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Issuer’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement
is effected without the prior written consent of the Issuer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).
(e) From and after the Closing, the
Subscriber shall, severally and not jointly with any Other Subscriber, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, and the officers,
employees, affiliates, directors, partners, members, managers, attorneys and agents of the Issuer, and each person, if any, who controls
the Issuer (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), from and against any Losses, that
arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Resale Registration Statement,
any prospectus included in the Resale Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in
any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, to the extent that such untrue or alleged untrue statements
or omissions or alleged omissions are based solely upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to the Issuer by a Subscriber
Indemnified Party expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of the Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount
of the net proceeds received by the Subscriber upon the sale of the Subscriber Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subscriber’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any
Losses if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Subscriber (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
delayed or conditioned).
22
(f) If the indemnification provided
under this Section 10 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect
of any Losses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault
of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question,
including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made
by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified
party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or
payable by a party as a result of the Losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be subject to the limitations set forth in this
Section 10 and deemed to include any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with
any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities
Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 10(f) from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
Each indemnifying party’s obligation to make a contribution pursuant to this Section 10(f) shall be individual, not joint,
and in no event shall the liability of the Subscriber under this Section 10(f) be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the
net proceeds received by the Subscriber upon the sale of the Subscriber Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
(g) Any person entitled to indemnification
herein shall (1) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided
that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure
has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (2) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any
settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent. An indemnifying party who elects not to assume the defense of a claim shall
not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect
to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of legal counsel to any indemnified party a conflict of interest exists between such
indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent
of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by
the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement
does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from
all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
23
(h) The indemnification provided for
under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified
party or any officer, director, employee, agent, affiliate or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer
of the Subscriber Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.
11. Trust Account Waiver.
(a) The Subscriber hereby represents
and warrants that it has had the opportunity to read the IPO Prospectus and understands that the Issuer has established a trust account
(the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”), the overallotment
shares acquired by its underwriters and certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO, including interest accrued from
time to time thereon, for the benefit of the Issuer’s public stockholders, including overallotment shares acquired by the Issuer’s
underwriters (the “Public Stockholders”). The Subscriber further understands that, except as otherwise described in
the IPO Prospectus, the Issuer may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the Public Stockholders who elect to redeem their
Issuer shares in connection with the consummation of the Issuer’s initial business combination, as such term is used in the IPO
Prospectus, or in connection with an extension of the Issuer’s deadline to consummate an initial business combination; (b) to the
Public Stockholders if the Issuer fails to consummate an initial business combination within 24 months after the closing of the IPO, subject
to any further extension approved by amendment to the Issuer’s organizational documents; (c) with respect to any interest earned
on the amounts held in the Trust Account, to pay taxes and up to $100,000 of dissolution expenses; or (d) to the Issuer after or concurrently
with the consummation of an initial business combination.
(b) For and in consideration of the
Issuer entering into this Subscription Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the Subscriber hereby agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Subscription Agreement,
the Subscriber does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have, and waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claims
of any kind it has or may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement, the transactions contemplated
hereby or the Securities, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or any distributions therefrom directly or indirectly to Public
Stockholders (“Public Distributions”).
(c) The Subscriber further agrees not
to seek recourse or make or bring any action, suit, claim or other proceeding against the Trust Account or Public Distributions as a result
of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Securities, regardless of whether such
claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability. To the extent the Subscriber commences any action
or proceeding based upon, in connection with, as a result of or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement, the transactions contemplated
hereby or the Securities, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against the Issuer or its Representatives, the
Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Subscriber’s sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account,
other than Public Distributions, and that such claim shall not permit the Subscriber, or any person claiming on its behalf or in lieu
of any of it, to have any claim against the Trust Account, including any distributions therefrom, or any amounts contained therein.
24
(d) Notwithstanding anything else in
this Section 11 to the contrary, nothing herein shall: (x) serve to limit or prohibit the Subscriber’s right to pursue a
claim against the Issuer for legal relief against assets held outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other equitable relief;
(y) serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Subscriber may have in the future against the Issuer’s assets or funds that are
not held in the Trust Account, including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account to the Issuer, excluding, for the avoidance
of doubt, funds released to redeeming shareholders of the Issuer, and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds;
or (z) be deemed to limit the Subscriber’s right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of the Subscriber’s
record or beneficial ownership of Issuer Common Stock other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, including any redemption right
with respect to any such securities of the Issuer.
(e) For purposes of this Subscription
Agreement, “Representatives” with respect to any person shall mean such person’s affiliates and its and its affiliates’
respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, advisors, agents and other representatives.
12. Miscellaneous.
(a) Transferability. Neither
this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Subscriber hereunder (other than the Subscriber Shares acquired hereunder,
if any, subject to applicable securities laws and Subscriber’s rights under Section 10 hereof) may be transferred or assigned
by the Subscriber without the prior written consent of the Issuer and the Company, and any purported transfer or assignment without such
consent shall be null and void ab initio. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the Closing the Subscriber may assign all of its rights
and obligations under this Subscription Agreement to an affiliate of the Subscriber, or to any fund or account managed by the same investment
manager as Subscriber, that is an Accredited Investor or a QIB and is also an Institutional Account, so long as the Subscriber provides
the Issuer and the Company with at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of such assignment and a completed Investor
Questionnaire duly executed by such assignee; provided, further that (i) such assignee will be deemed to have made to the Issuer and the
Company each of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Subscriber set forth in Section 7 as of the date of such assignment
and as of the Closing Date, and (ii) no such assignment by the Subscriber will relieve the Subscriber of its obligations under this Subscription
Agreement, and the Subscriber will remain secondarily liable under this Subscription Agreement for the obligations of the assignee hereunder
unless the Issuer and the Company have consented to such relief. The Issuer may not transfer or assign all or a portion of its rights
under this Subscription Agreement without the prior consent of the Subscriber.
25
(b) Reliance. The Subscriber
acknowledges that the Issuer and the Company will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties
of the Subscriber contained in this Subscription Agreement; provided, however, that the Subscriber’s obligations hereunder may only

(as that term is defined in the 1933 Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations
of the SEC promulgated thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the PIPE Securities
under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. Notwithstanding

fees, or brokers’ commissions (other than for Persons engaged by any Buyer or its investment advisor) relating to or arising out
of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, capital markets advisory fees payable to Bluerock Capital Markets,
LLC, as capital markets advisor (the “Capital Markets Advisor”) in connection with the sale of the Securities. The
fees and expenses of the Capital Markets Advisor to be paid by any of the BC Entities are as set forth on Schedule 3(g). The BC
Parties shall pay, and hold each Buyer harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, attorney’s
fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection with any such claim. Each BC Party acknowledges that it has engaged the Capital
Markets Advisor in connection with the sale of the Securities. Other than the Capital Markets Advisor, no BC Entity has engaged any placement
agent or other agent in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities.

Except as set forth on Schedule 3(h), no BC Entity nor any of their respective affiliates, nor any Person acting on their behalf
has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances
that would require registration of the issuance of any of the PIPE Securities under the 1933 Act, whether through integration with prior
offerings or otherwise, or cause this offering of the PIPE Securities to require approval of stockholders of the Company for purposes
of the 1933 Act or under any applicable stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations
of the Principal Market or any other exchange or automated quotation system on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or
designated for quotation. No BC Entity, their respective affiliates nor any Person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps
that would require registration of the issuance of any of the PIPE Securities under the 1933 Act or cause the offering of any of the PIPE
Securities to be integrated with other offerings of securities of the Company.
(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 with this Agreement and
the Notes are, in each case, absolute and unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership
interests of other stockholders of the Company.
(j) Application of Takeover
Protections; Rights Agreement. Each BC Party and its board of directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render
inapplicable any control share acquisition, interested stockholder, business combination, poison pill (including, without limitation,
any distribution under a rights agreement), stockholder rights plan or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Org Docs or other
organizational documents or the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or otherwise which is or could become applicable to any
Buyer as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Company’s issuance of the
Securities and any Buyer’s ownership of the Securities. The Company and its board of directors have taken all necessary action,
if any, in order to render inapplicable any stockholder rights plan or similar arrangement relating to accumulations of beneficial ownership
of shares of Common Stock or a change in control of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
10
(k) SEC Documents; Financial
Statements. Since December 10, 2025, the Company has timely filed (or obtained extensions in respect thereof and filed within the
applicable grace period) all reports, schedules, forms, proxy statements, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with
the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act (all of the foregoing filed prior to such applicable Representation Date
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 such applicable Representation Date
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
referred to in Section 2(e) of this Agreement or in the disclosure schedules to this Agreement (as modified or supplemented as of
each Closing Date, the “Disclosure Schedules”)) 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 accountants 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 accountants 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. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(l), since the date of the Company’s most recent audited financial statements
contained in a Form 10-K and except as set forth in the SEC Documents, 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 any BC Entity. Since the date of the Company’s most recent audited financial statements contained in a Form 10-K
and except as set forth in the SEC Documents, no BC Entity 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. No BC Entity 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 any BC Entity 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 BC Entities, 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 such Closing, will not be Insolvent (as defined below).
For purposes of this Section 3(l), “Insolvent” means, (i) with respect to the BC Entities, on a consolidated basis,
(A) the present fair saleable value of the BC Entities’ assets is less than the amount required to pay the BC Entities’ total
Indebtedness (as defined below), (B) the BC Entities are unable to pay their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise,
as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured or (C) the BC Entities 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 each BC Entity, individually, (A) the present
fair saleable value of such BC Entity’s assets is less than the amount required to pay its respective total Indebtedness, (B) such
BC Entity is unable to pay its respective debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities
become absolute and matured or (C) such BC Entity intends to incur or believes that it will incur debts that would be beyond its respective
ability to pay as such debts mature. No BC Entity has engaged in any business or in any transaction, and is not about to engage in any
business or in any transaction, for which such BC Entity’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.
11
(m) No Undisclosed Events,
Liabilities, Developments or Circumstances. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents or on Schedule 3(m), no event, liability,
development or circumstance has occurred or exists, or is reasonably expected to exist or occur with respect to any BC Entity 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.
(n) Conduct of Business;
Regulatory Permits. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(n)(i), no BC Entity is in violation of any term of or in default under
its Org Docs, 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 (as defined below) or their organizational charter, certificate of formation, memorandum of association,
articles of association, Org Docs or certificate of incorporation or bylaws, respectively. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(n)(ii),
no BC Entity is in violation of any judgment, decree or order or any statute, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to any BC Entity
and no BC Entity 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, 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. Since December
10, 2025, (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. Except as set forth on Schedule
3(n)(iii), each BC Entity possesses all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate regulatory authorities
necessary to conduct its business, except where the failure to possess such certificates, authorizations or permits would not have, individually
or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and no BC Entity has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or
modification of any such certificate, authorization or permit. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(n)(iv), there is no agreement,
commitment, judgment, injunction, order or decree binding upon any BC Entity or to which any BC Entity is a party which has or would reasonably
be expected to have the effect of prohibiting or materially impairing any business practice of any BC Entity, any acquisition of property
by any BC Entity or the conduct of business by any BC Entity 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 any BC Entity.
(o) Foreign Corrupt Practices.
Neither any BC Entity nor 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
(ii) assisting any
BC Entity in obtaining or retaining business for or with, or directing business to, any BC Entity.
(p) Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
The Company and each Subsidiary is in compliance with any and all applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended,
and any and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder.
12
(q) Transactions With Affiliates.
Except as set forth on Schedule 3(q) or as disclosed in the SEC Documents, no current or former employee, partner, director, officer
or stockholder (direct or indirect) of any BC Entity, or any associate, or, to the knowledge of the BC Parties, 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 any BC Entity (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 (other than for ordinary course services as employees, officers or directors of any BC Entity)) 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 any BC Entity (except for a passive investment (direct or indirect) in less than 5% of the common stock of a company
whose securities are traded on or quoted through an Eligible Market (as defined in the Notes)), nor does any such Person receive income
from any source other than the BC Entities which relates to the business of the BC Entities or should properly accrue to the BC Entities.
No employee, officer, stockholder or director of any BC Entity or member of his or her immediate family is indebted to any BC Entity,
as the case may be, nor is any BC Entity 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 a BC Party, 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 of such applicable BC Party).
(r) Equity Capitalization.
(i) Definitions:
(A) “Common

(x) the Company’s shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and (y) any capital stock into which such common
stock shall have been changed or any share capital resulting from a reclassification of such common stock.

the Company is $55,500 divided into (A) 500,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, of which, 17,250,000 are issued and outstanding, and
16,000,000 shares are reserved for issuance pursuant to Common Stock Equivalents (as defined below) (other than the Notes) exercisable

are held in the treasury of the Company. “Common Stock Equivalents” means any capital stock or other security of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is at any time and under any circumstances directly or indirectly convertible into, exercisable

without limitation, Common Stock) or any of its Subsidiaries.
(iii) Valid Issuance;
Available Shares; Affiliates. All of outstanding shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized and have been, or upon issuance
will be, validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable. Schedule 3(r)(iii) sets forth the number of shares of Common Stock

and (B) that are, as of the date hereof, owned by Persons who are “affiliates” (as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act and
calculated based on the assumption that only officers, directors and holders of at least 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding
Common Stock are “affiliates” without conceding that any such Persons are “affiliates” for purposes of federal
securities laws) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. To the Company’s knowledge, except as disclosed in the SEC Documents,
no Person owns 10% or more of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (calculated based on the assumption that
all Common Stock Equivalents, whether or not presently exercisable or convertible, have been fully exercised or converted (as
the case may be) taking account of any limitations on exercise or conversion (including “blockers”) contained therein without
conceding that such identified Person is a 10% stockholder for purposes of federal securities laws).

any term of, or in default under, any contract, agreement or instrument relating to any Indebtedness (as defined below), except where
such violations and defaults would not result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect, or (v) is a party to any
contract, agreement or instrument relating to any Indebtedness, the performance of which, in the judgment of each BC Party’s officers,
has or is expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No BC Entity has any liabilities or obligations required to be disclosed in the
SEC Documents which are not so disclosed in the SEC Documents and/or on Schedule 3(s), other than those incurred in the ordinary
course of such BC Entity’s business and which, individually or in the aggregate, do not or could not have a Material Adverse Effect.
For purposes of this Agreement: (x) “Indebtedness” of any Person means, without duplication (A) all indebtedness for

consistent with past practice), (C) all reimbursement or payment obligations with respect to letters of credit, surety bonds and other
similar instruments, (D) all obligations evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or similar instruments, including obligations so evidenced
incurred in connection with the acquisition of property, assets or businesses, (E) all indebtedness created or arising under any conditional

connection with GAAP, consistently applied for the periods covered thereby, is classified as a capital lease, (G) all indebtedness referred
to in clauses (A) through (F) above secured by (or for which the holder of such Indebtedness has an existing right, contingent or otherwise,
to be secured by) any Lien upon or in any property or assets (including accounts and contract rights) owned by any Person, even though
the Person which owns such assets or property has not assumed or become liable for the payment of such indebtedness, and (H) all Contingent
Obligations (as defined below) in respect of indebtedness or obligations of others of the kinds referred to in clauses (A) through (G)
above; and (y) “Contingent Obligation” means, as to any Person, any direct or indirect liability, contingent or otherwise,
of that Person with respect to any Indebtedness, lease, dividend or other obligation of another Person if the primary purpose or intent
of the Person incurring such liability, or the primary effect thereof, is to provide assurance to the obligee of such liability that such
liability will be paid or discharged, or that any agreements relating thereto will be complied with, or that the holders of such liability
will be protected (in whole or in part) against loss with respect thereto.
14
(t) Litigation. Except
as set forth in the SEC Documents or as set forth on Schedule 3(t), 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 each BC Party, threatened against or affecting any BC Entity, the Common Stock or any of the BC Entities’
officers or directors, whether of a civil or criminal nature or otherwise, in their capacities as such, which could result in a judgment
for the payment of money aggregating in excess of $1,500,000. No director, officer or employee of any BC Entity 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 each BC Party, there is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the SEC involving any BC Entity
or any current or former director or officer of any BC Entity. 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. After reasonable inquiry of its employees, neither
BC Party is aware of any fact which might result in or form the basis for any such action, suit, arbitration, investigation, inquiry or
other proceeding. No BC Entity is subject to any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any Governmental
Entity.
(u) Insurance. Except
as set forth on Schedule 3(u), each BC Entity is insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses
and risks and in such amounts as management of such BC Party believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which such BC Party
and its Subsidiaries are engaged. No BC Entity has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for, and no BC Entity 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.
Except as set forth on Schedule 3(v)(i), no BC Entity is a party to any collective bargaining agreement or employs any member of
a union. Each BC Entity believes that its relations with its employees are good. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(v)(ii), no executive
officer (as defined in Rule 501(f) promulgated under the 1933 Act) or other key employee of any BC Entity has notified any BC Entity that
such officer intends to leave such BC Entity or otherwise terminate such officer’s employment with such BC Entity, other than in
connection with the closing of the Business Combination. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(v)(iii), no current (or former) executive
officer or other key employee of any BC Entity 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 any BC Entity to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(v)(iv),
each BC Entity is 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.
Except as set forth on Schedule 3(w)(i), each of the BC Entities holds good title to all real property, leases in real property,
facilities or other interests in real property owned or held by such BC Entity (the “Real Property”). 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 any BC Entity is held
by it 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 any of the BC Entities.
(ii) Fixtures
and Equipment. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(w)(ii), each BC Entity 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 such
BC Entity 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 such BC
Entity’s business in the manner as conducted prior to such Closing. Each of the BC Entities 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.
15
(x) Intellectual Property
Rights. Each BC Entity owns or possesses adequate rights or licenses to use all trademarks, trade names, service marks, service mark
registrations, service names, original works of authorship, patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions, licenses, approvals, governmental
authorizations, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights and all applications and registrations therefor (“Intellectual
Property Rights”) necessary to conduct its businesses as now conducted and presently proposed to be conducted. Each of the patents
owned by any of the BC Entities is listed on Schedule 3(x)(i). Except as set forth in Schedule 3(x)(ii), none of the BC
Parties’ 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. No BC Entity has any knowledge of any infringement by
any BC Entity of Intellectual Property Rights of others. There is no claim, action or proceeding being made or brought, or to the knowledge
of the BC Entities, being threatened, against any BC Entities regarding its Intellectual Property Rights, except as disclosed in the SEC
Documents. No BC Entity is aware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing infringements or claims,
actions or proceedings. Each BC Entity has taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all
of their Intellectual Property Rights.
(y) Environmental Laws.
(i) Each BC Entity (A) is in compliance with any and all Environmental Laws (as defined below), (B) has received all permits, licenses
or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses and (C) is in compliance
with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval where, in each of the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the failure
to so comply could be reasonably 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,

of or otherwise released from any Real Property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in violation of any Environmental Laws; or
(2) 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

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 (or, with respect to the period following consummation
of the Business Combination, will maintain as of the Initial Closing Date) 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. No BC Entity 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 any BC Entity, except as disclosed in the SEC Documents.
(cc) Off Balance Sheet
Arrangements. There is no transaction, arrangement, or other relationship between any BC Entity and an unconsolidated or other off
balance sheet entity that is required to be disclosed by the Company in its 1934 Act filings or by the Target in the Target Financial

in or with respect to (including, without limitation, purchasing 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 was established prior to such Buyer’s knowledge of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents; (iii) each Buyer 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. The Company further understands and acknowledges that following the public disclosure
of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents pursuant to the Initial 8-K Filing (as defined below) 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

of, any of the Securities (other than the Capital Markets Advisor), (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any Person any compensation for soliciting

services with respect to any securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

“Code”), and each of the BC Parties shall so certify upon any Buyer’s request.

for by the Company, and all laws imposing such taxes will be or will have been complied with.

in connection with the operation of the business of the BC Entities as currently conducted, free and clear of all material bugs, errors,
defects, Trojan horses, time bombs, malware and other corruptants that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect
on the either BC Party’s business. Each BC Entity has implemented and maintained commercially reasonable physical, technical and
administrative controls, policies, procedures, and safeguards to maintain and protect their material confidential information and the
integrity, continuous operation, redundancy and security of all IT Systems and data, including “Personal Data,” used in connection

those that have been remedied without material cost or liability or the duty to notify any other person or such, nor any incidents under
internal review or investigations relating to the same except in each case, where such would not, either individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each BC Entity is presently in compliance with all applicable laws or statutes
and all judgments, orders, rules and regulations 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, misappropriation or modification except in each case, where such would not, either individually
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(ww) Compliance with Data
Privacy Laws. Each BC Entity is, and at all prior times were, in compliance with all applicable state and federal data privacy and
security laws and regulations, including without limitation HIPAA, and each BC Entity has taken commercially reasonable actions to prepare

steps reasonably designed to ensure compliance in all material respects with their policies and procedures relating to data privacy and
security and the collection, storage, use, disclosure, handling, and analysis of Personal Data (the “Policies”). Each

of any applicable laws and regulatory rules or requirements in any material respect. Each BC Party further certifies that no BC Entity:

Laws, and has no knowledge of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to result in any such notice; (ii) is currently

(xx) Disclosure. Except
with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents as disclosed in the Initial
8-K Filing, each BC Party confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Buyers or their agents
or counsel with any information that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to constitute material, non-public information concerning
any BC Entity, other than the existence of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Each BC
Party 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 BC Entities, their respective businesses and the transactions contemplated
hereby, including the schedules to this Agreement, furnished by or on behalf of any of the BC Entities is true and correct and does 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. All of the written information furnished after the date
hereof by or on behalf of any BC Entity to each Buyer pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents,
taken as a whole, will be true and 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 any of the BC Entities or any of their respective businesses, 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 such
applicable Representation Date or announcement by the Company but which has not been so publicly disclosed. The due diligence materials
previously provided by or on behalf of the Target to each Buyer (if any) (the “Due Diligence Materials”), have been
prepared in a good faith effort by the Target to describe the Target’s present and proposed products, and projected growth of the
Target and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, except that with respect to assumptions, projections and expressions of opinion or predictions contained in the Due Diligence
Materials, each BC Party represents only that such assumptions, projections, expressions of opinion and predictions were made in good
faith and that the such BC Party believes there is a reasonable basis therefor. Each BC Party 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.

shall only be entitled to registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreement if such pledgee qualifies as a Permitted Transferee
(as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and complies with the assignment requirements set forth in Section 9 of the Registration

employees and agents not to, provide any Buyer with any material, non-public information regarding any BC Entity 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 covenant, including, without limitation, Section 4(o) of this Agreement, or any
of the covenants or agreements contained in any other Transaction Document, by any BC Entity, 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 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 any
BC Entity, or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents. No Buyer shall have any liability to any BC Entity,
or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, stockholders or agents, for any such disclosure. To the
extent that any BC Entity delivers any material, non-public information to a Buyer without such Buyer’s consent, each BC Party 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 BC Entities 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 the Press Releases, any press releases or SEC filings regarding the Business Combination,
and any press release or other public disclosure with respect to the transactions contemplated under this Agreement (i) in substantial
conformity with the 8-K Filings 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, except as required by law. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to
the contrary and without implication that the contrary would otherwise be true, each BC Party 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 applicable BC Party 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 any BC Entity.

or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use or any Current Public Information Failure (as defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement) exists, the Company shall not file a registration statement or an offering statement under the 1933 Act relating to
securities that are not the Registrable Securities (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 with respect to the Business Combination,
any other registration statement on Form S-4, any registration statement on Form S-8, or any supplements or amendments to registration
statements that are outstanding and have been declared effective by the SEC as of the date hereof (solely to the extent necessary to keep
such registration statements effective and available and not with respect to any Subsequent Placement)). “Applicable Date”

Registrable Securities are eligible to be resold by the Buyers pursuant to Rule 144 (or, if a Current Public Information Failure has occurred
and is continuing, such later date after which the Company has cured such Current Public Information Failure).

(k) Additional Issuance
of Securities. So long as any Buyer beneficially owns any Securities, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the
Required Holders, issue any Notes (other than to the Buyers as contemplated hereby) and the Company shall not issue any other securities
that would cause a breach or default under the Notes or the BC Warrants. The Company agrees that for the period commencing on the date
hereof and ending on the date immediately following the 30th Trading Day after the Applicable Date (provided that such period
shall be extended by the number of calendar days during such period and any extension thereof contemplated by this proviso on which any
Registration Statement is not effective or any prospectus contained therein is not available for use or any Current Public Information
Failure exists) (the “Restricted Period”), neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall directly or indirectly
issue, offer, sell, grant any option or right to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any issuance, offer, sale, grant of any
option or right to purchase or other disposition of) any equity security or any equity-linked or related security (including, without
limitation, any “equity security” (as that term is defined under Rule 405 promulgated under the 1933 Act), any Common Stock
Equivalents, any debt, any preferred stock or any purchase rights) (any such issuance, offer, sale, grant, disposition or announcement
(whether occurring during the Restricted Period or at any time thereafter) is referred to as a “Subsequent Placement”).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4(k) shall not apply in respect of the issuance of (i) shares of Common Stock, standard options
to purchase Common Stock or other equity awards to directors, officers, employees, or consultants of the Company in their capacity as
such pursuant to an Approved Stock Plan (as defined below), provided that (1) all such issuances (taking into account the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of such options or issuable upon the vesting and settlement of other equity awards) after the date hereof
pursuant to this clause (i) do not, in the aggregate, exceed more than 10% of the Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior
to the date hereof; provided that, to the extent applicable, such amount shall increase in accordance with the Evergreen Provision (as
defined below) and (2) the exercise price of any such options is not lowered, none of such options or other equity awards are amended
to increase the number of shares issuable thereunder and none of the terms or conditions of any such options or other equity awards are
otherwise materially changed in any manner that adversely affects any of the Buyers; (ii) shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion
or exercise of Common Stock Equivalents (other than standard options to purchase Common Stock or other equity awards issued pursuant to
an Approved Stock Plan that are covered by clause (i) above) issued prior to the date hereof, provided that the conversion, exercise or
other method of issuance (as the case may be) of any such Common Stock Equivalent is made solely pursuant to the conversion, exercise
or other method of issuance (as the case may be) provisions of such Common Stock Equivalent that were in effect on the date immediately
prior to the date of this Agreement, the conversion, exercise or issuance price of any such Common Stock Equivalents (other than standard
options to purchase Common Stock or other equity awards issued pursuant to an Approved Stock Plan that are covered by clause (i) above)
is not lowered, none of such Common Stock Equivalents (other than standard options to purchase Common Stock or other equity awards issued
pursuant to an Approved Stock Plan that are covered by clause (i) above) are amended to increase the number of shares issuable thereunder
and none of the terms or conditions of any such Common Stock Equivalents (other than standard options to purchase Common Stock or other
equity awards issued pursuant to an Approved Stock Plan that are covered by clause (i) above) are otherwise materially changed in any
manner that adversely affects any of the Buyers; (iii) the Conversion Shares; (iv) shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
issued in connection with any bona fide strategic or commercial alliances, acquisitions, mergers, licensing arrangements, strategic transactions
and strategic partnerships (including, without limitation, joint ventures, marketing or distribution arrangements, collaboration agreements
or intellectual property license agreements) approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, provided that such
shares of Common Stock are issued as “restricted securities” (as defined in Rule 144) and carry no registration rights that
require or permit the filing of any registration statement in connection therewith during the Restricted Period, provided, further, that
(w) the primary purpose of such issuance is not to raise capital, and (x) the purchaser or acquirer or recipient of the securities in
such issuance solely consists of either (I) the actual participants in such strategic or commercial alliance, strategic or commercial
licensing arrangement or strategic or commercial partnership, (II) the actual owners of such assets or securities acquired in such acquisition
or merger or (III) the stockholders, partners, employees, consultants, officers, directors or members of the foregoing Persons, in each
case, which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company or an owner of an asset, in a business synergistic with the business
of the Company and shall provide to the Company additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds, and (y) the number or amount
of securities issued to such Persons by the Company shall not be disproportionate to each such Person’s actual participation in
(or fair market value of the contribution to) such strategic or commercial alliance or strategic or commercial partnership or ownership
of such assets or securities to be acquired by the Company, as applicable; (v) shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to any Permitted
VRT (as defined below); (vi) the securities to be issued in the Business Combination in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement;

through (viii), collectively the “Excluded Securities”). For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “Approved Stock
Plan” means any employee benefit plan which has been approved by the board of directors of the Company prior to or subsequent
to the date hereof pursuant to which shares of Common Stock and standard options to purchase Common Stock or other equity awards may be

Provision” means the provision in the Approved Stock Plan that provides for an annual automatic increase pursuant to which,
on the first day of each fiscal year of the Company beginning in 2028 and ending on (and including) the eighth (8th) anniversary of the
Business Combination Closing Date, the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Approved Stock Plan shall automatically
increase by a number of shares equal to the lesser of (x) 5% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the last day
of the immediately preceding fiscal year, (y) 4,500,000 shares of Common Stock, and (z) such lesser number of shares as determined by
the board of directors of the Company; and (iii) “Permitted PIPE” means an offering by the Company of (x) ordinary
shares at a fixed purchase price at or above $6.00 per share to investors in connection with the Business Combination and (y) securities
pursuant to those certain equity subscription agreements entered into on the date hereof by and between the BC Parties and the subscribers
thereto in the form of Exhibit F hereof, together with any additional equity subscription agreements entered into to the
Closing in substantially the same form (collectively, the “Equity PIPE Subscription Agreements”); provided that the
aggregate value of Non-Redeemed Shares (as such term is defined in the Equity PIPE Subscription Agreements) thereunder shall not exceed
$10 million without the consent of the Required Holders; and any warrants issued in connection the Equity PIPE Subscription Agreements
shall be in the form of the Company’s existing public warrants.
26
(l) Reservation of Shares.
Until the later of (x) Additional Closing Expiration Date and (y) such date no Notes remain outstanding (the “Covenant Defeasance
Date”) and the date no BC Warrants 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 100% of (i) the maximum number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of
the Notes then outstanding (assuming for purposes hereof that (w) all Additional Notes issuable hereunder shall have been issued at an
Additional Closing on the Initial Closing Date, (x) the Notes are convertible at the Floor Price as of such applicable date of determination,
(y) interest on the Notes shall accrue through the third anniversary of the Closing Date and will be converted in shares of Common Stock
at a conversion price equal to the Floor Price as of such applicable date of determination and (z) any such conversion shall not take
into account any limitations on the conversion of the Notes set forth in the Notes) and (ii) the maximum number of BC Warrant Shares issuable
upon exercise of all the BC Warrants then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the BC Warrants set forth
therein) (collectively, the “Required Reserve Amount”); provided that at no time shall the number of shares of Common
Stock reserved pursuant to this Section 4(l) be reduced other than proportionally in connection with any conversion, exercise and/or redemption,
as applicable, of Notes and BC Warrants. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall ensure that the certificate of incorporation
of the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in connection with the Domestication authorizes a sufficient
number of shares of Common Stock to satisfy the Required Reserve Amount. 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.
(m) Conduct of Business.
The business of the BC Entities shall not be conducted in violation of any applicable 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.
(n) Other Notes; Variable
Securities. Until the Covenant Defeasance Date, each of the BC Entities shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement
to effect any Subsequent Placement involving a Variable Rate Transaction (other than a Permitted VRT (as defined below)). “Variable
Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which any BC Entity (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 one or more BC Entities 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 one or more BC
Entities 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 any BC Entity to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall
be in addition to any right to collect damages. “Permitted VRT” means an at-the-market offering with a FINRA registered
broker-dealer, which (x) is not available for issuances by any BC Entity until after the Applicable Date and (y) does not result in issuances,
directly or indirectly, of securities of any BC Entity on any given Trading Day, in the aggregate, in excess of 5% of the aggregate daily
dollar trading volume (as reported on Bloomberg, LP) of the Common Stock on the Principal Market on such Trading Day (or such greater
percentage as permitted by the Required Holders in writing, which may be one or more e-mails).
27
(o) Participation Right.
At any time on or prior to the later of (i) the Additional Closing Expiration Date and (ii) the second anniversary of the later of (x)
the Initial Closing Date (or, if later, the date no Notes remain outstanding) and (y) the last Additional Closing Date hereunder, no BC
Entity shall, directly or indirectly, effect any Subsequent Placement unless the Company shall have first complied with this Section 4(o).
The Company acknowledges and agrees that the right set forth in this Section 4(o) is a right granted by each BC Entity (or, if after
the Business Combination, the Company)(as applicable, the “Participation Grantor”), separately, to each Buyer.
(i) At least five
(5) Trading Days prior to any proposed or intended Subsequent Placement, the Participation Grantor shall deliver to each Buyer a written
notice (each such notice, a “Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall not contain any information (including, without limitation,
material, non-public information) other than: (A) if the proposed Offer Notice (as defined below) constitutes or contains material, non-public
information, a statement asking whether the Investor is willing to accept material non-public information or (B) if the proposed Offer
Notice does not constitute or contain material, non-public information, (x) a statement that the Participation Grantor proposes or intends
to effect a Subsequent Placement, (y) a statement that the statement in clause (x) above does not constitute material, non-public information
and (z) a statement informing such Buyer that it is entitled to receive an Offer Notice (as defined below) with respect to such Subsequent
Placement upon its written request. Upon the written request of a Buyer within three (3) Trading Days after the Participation Grantor’s
delivery to such Buyer of such Pre-Notice, and only upon a written request by such Buyer, the Participation Grantor shall promptly, but
no later than one (1) Trading Day after such request, deliver to such Buyer an irrevocable written notice (the “Offer Notice”)
of any proposed or intended issuance or sale or exchange (the “Offer”) of the securities being offered (the “Offered
Securities”) in a Subsequent Placement, which Offer Notice shall (A) identify and describe the Offered Securities, (B) describe
the price and other terms upon which they are to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or amount of the Offered Securities to be
issued, sold or exchanged, (C) identify the Persons (if known) to which or with which the Offered Securities are to be offered, issued,
sold or exchanged and (D) offer to issue and sell to or exchange with such Buyer in accordance with the terms of the Offer such Buyer’s
pro rata portion of 9.9% of the Offered Securities, provided that the number of Offered Securities which such Buyer shall have the right
to subscribe for under this Section 4(o) shall be (x) based on such Buyer’s pro rata portion of the aggregate original principal
amount of the Notes purchased hereunder by all Buyers (the “Basic Amount”), and (y) with respect to each Buyer that
elects to purchase its Basic Amount, any additional portion of the Offered Securities attributable to the Basic Amounts of other Buyers
as such Buyer shall indicate it will purchase or acquire should the other Buyers subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts (the “Undersubscription
Amount”), which process shall be repeated until each Buyer shall have an opportunity to subscribe for any remaining Undersubscription
Amount.
(ii) To accept an
Offer, in whole or in part, such Buyer must deliver a written notice to the Participation Grantor prior to the end of the fifth (5th)
Business Day after such Buyer’s receipt of the Offer Notice (the “Offer Period”), setting forth the portion of
such Buyer’s Basic Amount that such Buyer elects to purchase and, if such Buyer shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount,
the Undersubscription Amount, if any, that such Buyer elects to purchase (in either case, the “Notice of Acceptance”).
If the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Buyers are less than the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then each Buyer who has set forth
an Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for,
the Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed for; provided, however, if the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference
between the total of all the Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the “Available Undersubscription Amount”),
each Buyer who has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase only that portion of the Available Undersubscription
Amount as the Basic Amount of such Buyer bears to the total Basic Amounts of all Buyers that have subscribed for Undersubscription Amounts,
subject to rounding by the Participation Grantor to the extent it deems reasonably necessary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participation
Grantor desires to modify or amend the terms and conditions of the Offer prior to the expiration of the Offer Period, the Participation
Grantor may deliver to each Buyer a new Offer Notice and the Offer Period shall expire on the fifth (5th) Business Day after
such Buyer’s receipt of such new Offer Notice.
28
(iii) The Participation
Grantor shall have five (5) Business Days from the expiration of the Offer Period above (A) to offer, issue, sell or exchange all or any
part of such Offered Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by a Buyer (the “Refused Securities”)
pursuant to a definitive agreement(s) (the “Subsequent Placement Agreement”), but only to the offerees described in
the Offer Notice (if so described therein) and only upon terms and conditions (including, without limitation, unit prices and interest
rates) that are not more favorable to the acquiring Person or Persons or less favorable to the Participation Grantor than those set forth
in the Offer Notice and (B) to publicly announce (x) the execution of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, and (y) either (I) the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by such Subsequent Placement Agreement or (II) the termination of such Subsequent Placement Agreement,
which shall be filed with the SEC on a Current Report on Form 8-K with such Subsequent Placement Agreement and any documents contemplated
therein filed as exhibits thereto.
(iv) In the event
the Participation Grantor shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Securities (any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms
specified in Section 4(o)(iii) above), then each Buyer may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, withdraw its Notice of
Acceptance or reduce the number or amount of the Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance to an amount that shall be not
less than the number or amount of the Offered Securities that such Buyer elected to purchase pursuant to Section 4(o)(ii) above multiplied
by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number or amount of Offered Securities the Participation Grantor actually proposes
to issue, sell or exchange (including Offered Securities to be issued or sold to Buyers pursuant to this Section 4(o) prior to such
reduction) and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the original amount of the Offered Securities. In the event that any Buyer so elects
to reduce the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, the Participation Grantor may not issue, sell
or exchange more than the reduced number or amount of the Offered Securities unless and until such securities have again been offered
to the Buyers in accordance with Section 4(o)(i) above.
(v) Upon the closing
of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused Securities, such Buyer shall acquire from the Participation Grantor,
and the Participation Grantor shall issue to such Buyer, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance,
as reduced pursuant to Section 4(o)(iv) above if such Buyer has so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer.
The purchase by such Buyer of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by the Participation
Grantor and such Buyer of a separate purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance
to such Buyer and its counsel.
(vi) Any Offered
Securities not acquired by a Buyer or other Persons in accordance with this Section 4(o) may not be issued, sold or exchanged until
they are again offered to such Buyer under the procedures specified in this Agreement.
(vii) The Participation
Grantor and each Buyer agree that if any Buyer elects to participate in the Offer, (x) neither the Subsequent Placement Agreement with
respect to such Offer nor any other transaction documents related thereto (collectively, the “Subsequent Placement Documents”)
shall include any term or provision whereby such Buyer shall be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any securities
of the Participation Grantor or be required to consent to any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver, release or the like
under or in connection with, any agreement previously entered into with the Participation Grantor or any instrument received from the
Participation Grantor, and (y) any registration rights set forth in such Subsequent Placement Documents shall be similar in all material
respects to the registration rights contained in the Registration Rights Agreement.
(viii) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 4(o) and unless otherwise agreed to by such Buyer, the Participation Grantor shall either confirm
in writing to such Buyer that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Placement has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its
intention to issue the Offered Securities, in either case, in such a manner such that such Buyer will not be in possession of any material,
non-public information, by the fifth (5th) Business Day following delivery of the Offer Notice. If by such fifth (5th)
Business Day, no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Offered Securities has been made, and no notice regarding
the abandonment of such transaction has been received by such Buyer, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and such
Buyer shall not be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the Participation Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries.
Should the Participation Grantor decide to pursue such transaction with respect to the Offered Securities, the Participation Grantor shall
provide such Buyer with another Offer Notice and such Buyer will again have the right of participation set forth in this Section 4(o).
The Participation Grantor shall not be permitted to deliver more than one such Offer Notice to such Buyer in any sixty (60) day period,
except as expressly contemplated by the last sentence of Section 4(o)(ii).
(ix) The restrictions
contained in this Section 4(o) shall not apply in connection with the issuance of any Excluded Securities. The Participation Grantor shall
not circumvent the provisions of this Section 4(o) by providing terms or conditions to one Buyer that are not provided to all.
29
(p) Dilutive Issuances.
For so long as any Notes or BC Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall not, in any manner, enter into or affect any Dilutive Issuance
(as defined in the Notes) if the effect of such Dilutive Issuance is to cause the Company to be required to issue upon conversion of any
Notes or exercise of any BC Warrant any shares of Common Stock in excess of that number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may
issue upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the BC Warrants without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or
regulations of the Principal Market.
(q) Passive Foreign Investment
Company. From and after the Domestication, 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.
(r) Restriction on Redemption
and Cash Dividends. So long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, 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 or BC Warrants, 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
and the BC Warrants.
(t) Conversion and Exercise

Notice (as defined in the Notes) included in the Notes set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Buyers in order to exercise
the BC Warrants or convert the Notes. Except as provided in Section 5(d), no additional legal opinion, other information or instructions

(u) Collateral Agent.
Each Buyer hereby (i) appoints [●] as the collateral agent hereunder and under the other Security Documents
(in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”), and (ii) authorizes the Collateral Agent (and its officers, directors,
employees and agents) to take such action on such Buyer’s behalf in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof. The Collateral
Agent shall not have, by reason hereof or any of the other Security Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Buyer. Neither
the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall have any liability to any Buyer for any action taken
or omitted to be taken in connection hereof or any other Security Document except to the extent caused by its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct, and each Buyer agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and all of its officers,
directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Collateral Agent Indemnitees”) from and against any losses, damages,
liabilities, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’
fees, costs and expenses) incurred by such Collateral Agent Indemnitee, whether direct, indirect or consequential, arising from or in
connection with the performance by such Collateral Agent Indemnitee of the duties and obligations of Collateral Agent pursuant hereto
or any of the Security Documents. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall
be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions
of the Required Holders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all holders of Notes; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent
shall not be required to take any action which, in the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent, exposes the Collateral Agent to liability
or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or applicable law. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to
rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message believed by it in good faith
to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this
Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.
30
(v) Successor Collateral
Agent.
(i) The Collateral
Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents at any time
by giving at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Company and each holder of Notes. Such resignation shall
take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Collateral Agent of appointment pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii) below or as otherwise
provided below. If at any time the Collateral Agent (together with its affiliates) beneficially owns less than $100,000 in aggregate principal
amount of Notes, the Required Holders may, by written consent, remove the Collateral Agent from all its functions and duties hereunder
and under the other Transaction Documents.
(ii) Upon any such
notice of resignation or removal, the Required Holders shall appoint a successor collateral agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment
as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor agent, such successor collateral agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with
all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the collateral agent, and the Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. After the Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder
as the collateral agent, the provisions of this Section 4(v) shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken
by it while it was the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
(iii) If a successor
collateral agent shall not have been so appointed within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of a written notice of resignation or removal,
the Collateral Agent shall then appoint a successor collateral agent who shall serve as the Collateral Agent until such time, if any,
as the Required Holders appoint a successor collateral agent as provided above.
(iv) In the event
that a successor Collateral Agent is appointed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4(v) that is not a Buyer or an affiliate of
any Buyer (or the Required Holders or the Collateral Agent (or its successor), as applicable, notify the Company that they or it wants
to appoint such a successor Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Section 4(v)), the Company and each Subsidiary thereof covenants
and agrees to promptly take all actions reasonably requested by the Required Holders or the Collateral Agent (or its successor), as applicable,
from time to time, to secure a successor Collateral Agent satisfactory to the requesting part(y)(ies), in their sole discretion, including,
without limitation, by paying all reasonable and customary fees and expenses of such successor Collateral Agent, by having the Company
and each Subsidiary thereof agree to indemnify any successor Collateral Agent pursuant to reasonable and customary terms and by each of
the Company and each Subsidiary thereof executing a collateral agency agreement or similar agreement and/or any amendment to the Security
Documents reasonably requested or required by the successor Collateral Agent.

form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Regulation D, including: (i) any advertisement, article,
notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar medium or broadcast over television or radio; and (ii) any

31
(y) Integration.
None of the Company, any of its affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) under the 1933 Act), or any person acting on behalf of the Company
or such affiliate will sell, offer for sale, or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in
the 1933 Act) which will be integrated with the sale of the Securities in a manner which would require the registration of the Securities
under the 1933 Act or, other than the Stockholder Approval, require stockholder approval under the rules and regulations of the Principal
Market, and the Company will take all action that is appropriate or necessary to assure that its offerings of other securities will not
be integrated for purposes of the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the Principal Market with the issuance of Securities contemplated
hereby. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 4(y) shall relieve the Company of its obligation to obtain the Stockholder
Approval pursuant to Section 4(bb) hereof.
(z) Notice of Disqualification
Events. The Company will notify the Buyers in writing, prior to each Closing Date of (i) any Disqualification Event relating to
any Issuer Covered Person and (ii) any event that would, with the passage of time, become a Disqualification Event relating to any Issuer

to increase its guarantee obligations to the maximum extent then permitted;
(iv) each foreign
Subsidiary shall covenant that, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, such foreign Subsidiary shall not create, incur, assume or
permit to exist any Lien on any of its assets or properties (whether now owned or hereafter acquired), except for Permitted Liens, without
the prior written consent of the Required Holders (a “Foreign Sub Negative Pledge”); and
(v) notwithstanding
clauses (i) through (iv) above, solely to the extent that a Subsidiary incurs any Permitted Acquisition Indebtedness (as defined in the
Notes) in connection with a Permitted Acquisition (as defined in the Notes), the Guaranty and the Liens granted to secure such Guaranty

to any limitation on conversion or exercise thereof) (the “Stockholder Approval” and the date thereof, the “Stockholder
Approval Date”), with the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors that such proposal be approved, and the Company
shall solicit proxies from its shareholders in connection therewith in the same manner as all other management proposals in such proxy
statement and all management-appointed proxyholders shall vote their proxies in favor of such proposal.
32
(cc) No Waiver of Leak-Out
Agreement. Neither Company, nor the Target, shall amend, waive, modify or fail to use best efforts to enforce any provision of the

a third-party beneficiary of any Lock-Up Agreement.
(dd) No Waiver of Lock-Up
Agreement. Neither Company, nor the Target, shall amend, waive, modify or fail to use reasonable best efforts to enforce any provision
of the Lock-Up Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no Buyer shall be a third-party beneficiary of any Lock-Up Agreement.
(ee) Business Combination
Agreement Covenants. Until the Closing Date, the Company hereby covenants to each Buyer such covenants set forth in the Merger Agreement
as if such covenants were incorporated by reference into this Agreement, mutatis mutandis; provided, however, that any amendment
to or any waiver of any covenant shall require the approval of Required Holders.
(ff) Closing Documents.
On or prior to fourteen (14) calendar days after each 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.
(gg) Limitation on Short
Sales. Each Buyer hereby agrees solely with the Company, severally and not jointly, and not with any other Buyer, at any time such
Buyer owns any Notes, other than during any Event of Default Redemption Right Period (as defined in the Notes), as follows:
(i) during the period
commencing on the date hereof, through, but not including, the first anniversary of the Business Combination Closing Date, such Buyer
shall not execute any sale of Common Stock that is marked as a “short sale” (but not including any sale (x) marked “short
exempt”, (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) or any other breach by
the Company (or its affiliates or agents, including, without limitation, the Transfer Agent (as defined below)) of any Transaction Document).
For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing prohibition shall apply whether or not such Buyer has an equivalent offsetting long position
in the Common Stock. For purposes of determining whether a sale of Common Stock is “long” pursuant to this Section 4(cc)(i),
(A) all Common Stock that is owned by such Buyer shall be deemed held “long” by such Buyer, (B) at any time a Conversion Notice
is delivered by such Buyer to the Company, 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 of such Conversion Notice until
such time as such Buyer shall no longer beneficially own such shares of Common Stock, 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 one (1) Trading Day 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.
(ii) from and after
the first anniversary of the Business Combination Closing Date, 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 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 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 (as defined in the
Notes), (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 or any other breach by the Company (or its affiliates or
agents, including, without limitation, the Transfer Agent (as defined below)) 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 Common
Stock, (A) all Common Stock that is owned by such Buyer shall be deemed held “long” by such Buyer, (B) all Common Stock that
would be issuable upon conversion or exercise in full of all Common Stock Equivalents then held by such Buyer (assuming that such Common
Stock Equivalents were then fully convertible or exercisable, notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary, and giving effect to any
conversion or exercise 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 one (1) Trading
Day 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.
33
(iii) For the avoidance
of doubt, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the purchase and/or sale of options, puts, swaps and/or other derivative securities
related to the Company and/or its Common Stock by a Buyer shall be excluded from, and not subject to this Section 4(cc).
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 and the BC Warrants in which the Company shall record the name and address of the Person
in whose name the Notes and the BC Warrants have been issued (including the name and address of each transferee), the principal amount
of the Notes held by such Person, the number of Conversion Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of the Notes, the exercise price of the
BC Warrants, and the number of BC Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the BC Warrants held by such Person. 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 reasonably 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 and the BC Warrant Shares in such amounts
as specified from time to time by each Buyer to the Company upon conversion of the Notes or the exercise of the BC Warrants (as the case
may be). The Company represents and warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in
this Section 5(b), and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2(g) hereof, 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 the Securities in accordance with Section 2(g), 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. In the event that such sale, assignment or transfer involves Conversion
Shares or BC Warrant Shares sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance with Rule 144,
the transfer agent shall issue such shares to such Buyer, assignee or transferee (as the case may be) without any restrictive legend in
accordance with Section 5(d) below. 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 to
the Company’s transfer agent on each Effective Date. 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.
34
(c) Legends. Each Buyer
understands that the Securities have been issued (or will be issued in the case of the Conversion Shares) pursuant to an exemption from
registration or qualification under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, and except as set forth below, the Securities shall
bear any legend as required by the “blue sky” laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following form
(and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):
[NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE CONVERTIBLE HAVE BEEN][THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED
BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN] REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES
MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER (IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY), IN A FORM REASONABLY
ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD OR ELIGIBLE TO BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE
144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT
OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.
(d) Removal of Legends.
Certificates evidencing Securities shall not be required to contain the legend set forth in Section 5(c) above or any other legend
(i) while a registration statement (including a Registration Statement) covering the resale of such Securities is effective under the
1933 Act (ii) following any sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferor is not an affiliate of the Company),
(iii) if such Securities are eligible to be sold, assigned or transferred under Rule 144 (provided that a Buyer provides the Company with
reasonable assurances that such Securities are eligible for sale, assignment or transfer under Rule 144 which shall not include an opinion
of Buyer’s counsel), (iv) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer (other than under Rule 144), provided that such
Buyer provides the Company with an opinion of counsel to such Buyer, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such sale, assignment
or transfer of the Securities may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act or (v) if such legend
is not required under applicable requirements of the 1933 Act (including, without limitation, controlling judicial interpretations and
pronouncements issued by the SEC). If a legend is not required pursuant to the foregoing, the Company shall no later than one (1) Trading
Day (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the 1934 Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade
initiated on the date such Buyer delivers such legended certificate representing such Securities to the Company) following the delivery
by a Buyer to the Company or the transfer agent (with notice to the Company) of a legended certificate representing such Securities (endorsed
or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer, if applicable),
together with any other deliveries from such Buyer as may be required above in this Section 5(d), as directed by such Buyer, either:
(A) provided that the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (“FAST”)
and such Securities are Conversion Shares, credit the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which such Buyer shall be entitled
to such Buyer’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system or (B) if the
Company’s transfer agent is not participating in FAST, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to such Buyer, a certificate
representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends, registered in the name of such Buyer or its designee
(the date by which such credit is so required to be made to the balance account of such Buyer’s or such Buyer’s designee with
DTC or such certificate is required to be delivered to such Buyer pursuant to the foregoing is referred to herein as the “Required
Delivery Date”, and the date such shares of Common Stock are actually delivered without restrictive legend to such Buyer or
such Buyer’s designee with DTC, as applicable, the “Share Delivery Date”). The Company shall be responsible for
any transfer agent fees or DTC fees with respect to any issuance of Securities or the removal of any legends with respect to any Securities
in accordance herewith. The BC Shares shall be issued without any legend and, assuming a cashless exercise of the BC Warrants, no legend
shall be required with respect to the BC Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the BC Warrants.
35
(e) Failure to Timely Deliver;
Buy-In. If the Company fails, for any reason or for no reason, to issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to a Buyer (or its
designee) by the Required Delivery Date, either (I) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, a certificate for the number of
Conversion Shares or BC Warrant Shares (as the case may be) to which such Buyer is entitled and register such Conversion Shares or BC
Warrant Shares (as the case may be) on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, to credit
the balance account of such Buyer or such Buyer’s designee with DTC for such number of Conversion Shares or BC Warrant Shares (as
the case may be) submitted for legend removal by such Buyer pursuant to Section 5(d) above or (II) if the Registration Statement covering
the resale of the Conversion Shares or BC Warrant Shares (as the case may be) submitted for legend removal by such Buyer pursuant to Section
5(d) above (the “Unavailable Shares”) is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Shares and the Company fails
to promptly, but in no event later than as required pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (x) so notify such Buyer and (y) deliver
the Conversion Shares or BC Warrant Shares, as applicable, electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number
of Conversion Shares or BC Warrant Shares (as the case may be) submitted for legend removal by such Buyer pursuant to Section 5(d) above
to such Buyer’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system (the event described
in the immediately foregoing clause (II) is hereinafter referred as a “Notice Failure” and together with the event
described in clause (I) above, a “Delivery Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Buyer,
the Company shall pay in cash to such Buyer on each day after the Share Delivery Date and during such Delivery Failure an amount equal
to 1% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to such Buyer on or prior to the Required Delivery
Date and to which such Buyer is entitled, and (B) any trading price of the Common Stock selected by such Buyer in writing as in effect
at any time during the period beginning on the date of the delivery by such Buyer to the Company of the applicable Conversion Shares or
BC Warrant Shares (as the case may be) and ending on the applicable Share Delivery Date. In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior
to the Required Delivery Date either (I) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver
a certificate to a Buyer and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating
in FAST, credit the balance account of such Buyer or such Buyer’s designee with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to
which such Buyer submitted for legend removal by such Buyer pursuant to Section 5(d) above (ii) below or (II) a Notice Failure occurs,
and if on or after such Trading Day such Buyer 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 submitted for legend removal by such Buyer pursuant to Section
5(d) above (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days after such Buyer’s request and in
such Buyer’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to such Buyer in an amount equal to such Buyer’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 deliver such certificate or credit such Buyer’s balance account shall terminate and such shares
shall be cancelled, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to so deliver to such Buyer a certificate or certificates or credit the balance
account of such Buyer or such Buyer’s designee with DTC representing such number of shares of Common Stock that would have been
so delivered if the Company timely complied with its obligations hereunder and pay cash to such Buyer in an amount equal to the excess
(if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Conversion Shares or BC Warrant Shares (as the case may
be) that the Company was required to deliver to such Buyer by the Required Delivery Date multiplied by (B) the lowest Closing Sale Price
(as defined in the Notes) of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery by such Buyer
to the Company of the applicable Conversion Shares or BC Warrant Shares (as the case may be) and ending on the date of such delivery and
payment under this clause (ii). Nothing shall limit such Buyer’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)
as required pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any given Notice Failure and/or
Delivery Failure, this Section 5(e) shall not apply to the applicable Buyer the extent the Company has already paid such amounts in full
to such Buyer with respect to such Notice Failure and/or Delivery Failure, as applicable, pursuant to the analogous sections of the Note
or BC Warrant, as applicable, held by such Buyer.
36
(f) FAST Compliance.
While any Notes or BC Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall maintain a transfer agent that participates in FAST.

In the event that the Initial

Date”), then such Buyer shall have the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement with respect to itself at any
time on or after the close of business on such date without liability of such Buyer to any other party; provided, however, (i) the right
to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8 shall not be available to such Buyer if the failure of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement to have been consummated by such date is the result of such Buyer’s breach of this Agreement and (ii) the abandonment
of the sale and purchase of the Notes shall be applicable only to such Buyer providing such written notice; provided further that no such
termination shall affect any obligation of the Company under this Agreement to reimburse such Buyer for the expenses described in Section
4(g) above. Nothing contained in this Section 8 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of
the terms and provisions of this Agreement 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, if prior to the Termination Right Commencement Date, (x) the Company shall have filed audited financial statements for the fiscal
year ended January 31, 2026 with the SEC and (y) a registration statement on Form S-4 with respect to the Business Combination has been
declared effective by the SEC, the Termination Right Commencement Date shall be extended to March 17, 2027.
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 Delaware, without giving effect to any provision of law or rule (whether of the State of Delaware
or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware. Each of
the BC Parties hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in Wilmington, Delaware,
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 any BC Party
in any other jurisdiction to collect on any BC Party’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.
43
(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 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.
44
(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, any BC Entity, 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, any BC Entity prior to the date hereof with respect to any prior investment made by such Buyer in any BC Entity or (ii) waive, alter,
modify or amend in any respect any obligations of any BC Entity, 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 any BC Entity and any Buyer, or any instruments any Buyer received from
any BC Entity 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 any BC Party 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 BC Parties 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 or (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); and provided further that the provisions of Sections 4(u) and
4(v) above cannot be amended or waived without the additional prior written approval of the Collateral Agent or its successor. 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) or (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). No consideration (other than reimbursement of legal fees) shall be
offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless
the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents, all holders of the Notes or all holders of
the BC Warrants (as the case may be). From the date hereof and while any Notes or BC Warrants are outstanding, no BC Entity shall be permitted
to receive any consideration from a Buyer or a holder of Notes or BC Warrants that is not otherwise contemplated by the Transaction Documents
in order to, directly or indirectly, induce any BC Entity (i) to treat such Buyer or holder of Notes or BC Warrants in a manner that is
more favorable than to other similarly situated Buyers or holders of Notes or BC Warrants, as applicable, or (ii) to treat any Buyer(s)
or holder(s) of Notes or BC Warrants in a manner that is less favorable than the Buyer or holder of Notes or BC Warrants that is paying
such consideration; provided, however, that the determination of whether a Buyer has been treated more or less favorably than another
Buyer shall disregard any securities of the Company purchased or sold by any Buyer. No BC Entity has, 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, each BC Party 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 any BC Entity or otherwise. As a material
inducement for each Buyer to enter into this Agreement, each BC Party 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, such BC Party’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, such BC Party’s
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. “Required Holders” means
(I) prior to the Additional Closing Expiration Date, [●] and (II) on or after the Additional Closing Expiration
Closing Date, holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities as of such time (excluding any Registrable Securities held by any BC
Entity as of such time) issued or issuable hereunder or pursuant to the Notes (or the Buyers, with respect to any waiver or amendment
of Section 4(o)).
45

consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will
be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by electronic mail (provided
that such sent email is kept on file (whether electronically or otherwise) by the sending party and the sending party does not receive
an automatically generated message from the recipient’s email server that such e-mail could not be delivered to such recipient);

(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 and BC Warrants. No BC Party shall 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
BC Warrants) (unless the Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Transactions set forth in the BC
Warrants) or 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 any BC Party, 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 each 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.
In consideration of each Buyer’s
execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of each BC Party’s
other obligations under the Transaction Documents, each BC Party, severally, 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 any BC Entity in any of
the Transaction Documents, (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of any BC Entity 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 any BC Entity) 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(i), or (D) the status of such Buyer or holder of the Securities either as an investor
in any BC Entity 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 a BC Entity 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. Except as otherwise set forth herein,
the mechanics and procedures with respect to the rights and obligations under this Section 9(k) shall be the same as those set forth
in Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement.
48
(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. 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, each BC Party
recognizes that in the event that it or any BC Entity fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its or such BC Entity’s
(as the case may be) obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law would inadequate relief to the Buyers. Each BC Party
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 any BC Entity 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 such applicable BC Entity, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future
actions and rights.
49
(o) Payment Set Aside;
Currency. To the extent that a BC Entity 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 such BC Entity, 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.
(p) Judgment Currency.
(i) If for the purpose
of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any BC Entity 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 US 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 Delaware 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 any BC Entity 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.
50
(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 each BC Party 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 no BC Entity shall assert any such claim with respect to such obligations or the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents or any matters, and each BC Party acknowledges that the Buyers are not acting in concert or
as a group, and no BC Entity shall 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. Each BC Party and each Buyer confirms that each
Buyer has independently participated with the BC Entities 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 BC Parties, not the action or decision of any Buyer, and was done
solely for the convenience of the BC Entities 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 applicable BC Entities and
a Buyer, solely, and not between the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Buyers collectively and not between and among the Buyers.
(r) Trust Account Waiver.
Each Buyer hereby acknowledges that the Company has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the
proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with
the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders and certain
other parties (including the underwriters of the IPO). For and in consideration of the Company entering into this Agreement, and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Buyer hereby (a) agrees that it does
not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any assets held in or distributions
from the Trust Account, and shall not make any claim against the Trust Account, with respect to any claim based upon, arising out of,
resulting from, in connection with or relating to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby, regardless of whether
such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred
to hereafter as the “Released Claims”), (b) irrevocably waives any Released Claims that it may have against the Trust
Account or distributions therefrom now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with
the Company, and (c) will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any Released Claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing
in this Section 9(r) shall be deemed to limit any Buyer’s right, title, interest or claim to any monies held in or distributions
from the Trust Account by virtue of its record or beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock acquired in the open market and outstanding
on the date hereof (whether acquired by such Buyer prior to, on or after the date hereof), pursuant to a validly exercised redemption
right with respect to any such shares of Common Stock, and, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall limit any Buyer’s
rights, if any, in respect of the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Senior
Secured Convertible Note
Issuance Date: [●] 20__
Original Principal Amount: U.S. $[●]
FOR VALUE RECEIVED,
[ ] (f/k/a Bluerock Acquisition Corp.), a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order
of [BUYER] or its registered assigns (“Holder”) the amount set forth above as the Original Principal Amount (as reduced
pursuant to the terms hereof pursuant to redemption, conversion or otherwise, the “Principal”) when due, whether upon
the Maturity Date, on any Installment Date with respect to the Installment Amount due on such Installment Date (each as defined below),
or upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof) and to pay interest (“Interest”)
on any outstanding Principal at the applicable Interest Rate (as defined below) from the date set forth above as the Issuance Date (the
“Issuance Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether upon the Maturity Date, on any Installment Date with
respect to the Installment Amount due on such Installment Date, or upon acceleration, conversion, redemption or otherwise (in each case
in accordance with the terms hereof). This Senior Secured Convertible Note (including all Senior Secured Convertible Notes issued in exchange,
transfer or replacement hereof, this “Note”) is one of an issue of Senior Secured Convertible Notes issued pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of [ ], 2026 (the “Subscription Date”), by and among the Company and
the investors (the “Buyers”) referred to therein, as amended from time to time (collectively, the “Notes”,
and such other Senior Secured Convertible Notes, the “Other Notes”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined
in Section 34.
1. PAYMENTS
OF PRINCIPAL. On each Installment Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount equal to the Installment Amount due on such
Installment 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 all outstanding Principal,
accrued and unpaid Interest and accrued and unpaid Late Charges (as defined in Section 27(c)) on such Principal and Interest. Other than
as specifically permitted by this Note, the Company may not prepay any portion of the outstanding Principal, accrued and unpaid Interest
or accrued and unpaid Late Charges on Principal and Interest, if any.
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 the first calendar day of each Fiscal Quarter (each, an “Interest Date”) with the
first Interest Date being [ ]. Interest shall be payable on each Interest Date, to the record holder of this Note on the applicable Interest
Date, in shares of Common Stock (“Interest Shares”) so long as there has been no Equity Conditions Failure; provided
however, that the Company may, at its option following notice to the Holder, pay Interest on any Interest Date in cash (“Cash
Interest”), increase the Principal by such Interest outstanding as of such Interest Date (“Capitalized Interest”)
or in a combination of Cash Interest, Capitalized Interest and/or Interest Shares. The Company shall deliver a written notice (each, an
“Interest Election Notice”) to each holder of the Notes on or prior to the Interest Notice Due Date (the date such
notice is delivered to all of the holders, the “Interest Notice Date”) which notice (i) either (A) confirms that Interest
to be paid on such Interest Date shall be paid entirely in Interest Shares or (B) elects to pay Interest as Cash Interest or capitalized
as Capitalized Interest or a combination of Cash Interest, Capitalized Interest and/or Interest Shares and specifies the amount of Interest
that shall be paid as Cash Interest or capitalized as Capitalized Interest and the amount of Interest, if any, that shall be paid in Interest
Shares and (ii) certifies that there has been no Equity Conditions Failure. If an Equity Conditions Failure has occurred as of the Interest
Notice Date, then unless the Company has elected to pay such Interest as Cash Interest, the Interest Election Notice shall indicate that
unless the Holder waives the Equity Conditions Failure, the Interest shall be capitalized as Capitalized Interest. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, if no Equity Conditions Failure has occurred as of the Interest Notice Date but an Equity Conditions Failure occurs
at any time prior to the Interest Date, (A) the Company shall provide the Holder a subsequent notice to that effect and (B) unless the
Holder waives the Equity Conditions Failure, the Interest shall be capitalized as Capitalized Interest. Interest to be paid on an Interest
Date in Interest Shares shall be paid in a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares (rounded to the nearest whole share in accordance
with Section 3(a)) of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (1) the amount of Interest payable on such Interest Date less any Cash Interest
paid and Capitalized Interest capitalized and (2) the Alternate Conversion Price in effect on the applicable Interest Date.
A-2
(b) When
any Interest Shares are to be paid on an Interest Date, the Company shall (i) (A) provided that the Company’s transfer agent (the
“Transfer Agent”) is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities
Transfer Program (“FAST”), credit such aggregate number of Interest Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled to
the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (B) if the
Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, issue and deliver on the applicable Interest Date, to the address set forth in the register
maintained by the Company for such purpose pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement or to such address as specified by the Holder
in writing to the Company at least two (2) Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Date, a certificate, registered in the name
of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Interest Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled and (ii) with respect to each Interest
Date, pay to the Holder, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the amount of any Cash Interest.
(c) 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(b)(i) or upon any redemption in accordance
with Section 14 or any required payment upon any Bankruptcy Event of Default. From and after the occurrence and during the continuance
of any Event of Default, the Interest Rate in effect with respect to such determination shall automatically be increased to the Default
Rate. In the event that such Event of Default is subsequently cured (and no other Event of Default then exists, 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; provided that
the Interest as calculated and unpaid at such increased rate during the continuance of such Event of Default shall continue to apply to
the extent relating to the days after the occurrence of such Event of Default through and including the date of such cure of such Event
of Default.
3. CONVERSION
OF NOTES. At any time after the Floor Initial Measuring 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 (as defined below) 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.
(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) such portion of the Principal 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, (D) accrued and
unpaid Late Charges with respect to such Principal of this Note and Interest, and (E) any other unpaid amounts pursuant to the Transaction
Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), if any.
A-3
(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 21(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 and representation as to whether such shares of Common Stock may then be resold pursuant
to Rule 144 or an effective and available registration statement (each, an “Acknowledgement”) to the Holder and 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
(or such earlier date as required pursuant to the 1934 Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade initiated
on the applicable Conversion Date of such shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such Conversion Notice) (the “Share Delivery
Deadline”), the Company shall (1) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in 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 of this Note is greater than the Principal 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 21(d)) representing the outstanding Principal not converted; provided,
that during such period the Holder shall be permitted to convert such new Note regardless of the date the actual certificate evidencing
such new Note is delivered to the Holder (or its designee). 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. In the event
of a partial conversion of this Note pursuant hereto, the Principal amount converted shall be deducted from the Installment Amount(s)
relating to the Installment Date(s) as set forth in the applicable Conversion Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Note or the Registration Rights Agreement, after the effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement) and prior to the Holder’s receipt of the notice of a Grace Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement),
the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to the Holder (or its designee) in connection
with any sale of Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) with respect to which the Holder has entered
into a contract for sale, and delivered a copy of the prospectus included as part of the particular Registration Statement to the extent
applicable, and for which the Holder has not yet settled.

(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, either (I) 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) or (II) if the Registration Statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock that are the subject of the Conversion
Notice (the “Unavailable Conversion Shares”) is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Conversion Shares
and the Company fails to promptly, but in no event later than as required pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (x) so notify
the Holder and (y) deliver the shares of Common Stock electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number
of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such conversion to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance
account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system (the event described in the immediately foregoing clause (II) is hereinafter
referred as a “Notice Failure” and together with the event described in clause (I) above, 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 such
Share Delivery Deadline that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock is not timely effected an amount equal to 1% 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 trading price of the Common Stock selected by the Holder in writing as in effect at any time
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 either (A) 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 or (B) a Notice Failure occurs, 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 or Notice Failure, as applicable (a “Buy-In”), then, in addition to all other remedies
available to the Holder, the Company shall, within one (1) Business Day 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 lowest
Closing Sale Price 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.
A-5
(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 Principal 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 21, 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 one (1) Business
Day 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 Principal, 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 Principal, 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
one (1) Business Day 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 26.
A-6
(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 9.99% (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). For purposes of this Section 3(d), 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), 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) 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) 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.
A-7
(e) Right
of Alternate Conversion Upon an Event of Default.
(i) General.
After the Floor Initial Measuring Date, subject to Section 3(d), at any time during an Event of Default Redemption Right Period (as defined
below) (regardless of whether such Event of Default has been cured, or if the Company has delivered an Event of Default Redemption Notice
to the Holder or if the Holder has delivered an Event of Default Redemption Notice to the Company or otherwise notified the Company that
an Event of Default has occurred) or upon the occurrence and continuance of any Triggering Event, the Holder may, at the Holder’s
option, convert (each, an “Alternate Conversion”, and the date of such Alternate Conversion, each, an “Alternate
Conversion Date”) all, or any part of, the Conversion Amount (such portion of the Conversion Amount subject to such Alternate
Conversion, the “Alternate Conversion Amount”) into shares of Common Stock at a conversion rate equal to the quotient
of (x) the product of (A) the Redemption Premium and (B) the Alternate Conversion Amount, divided by (y) the Alternate Conversion Price
(the “Alternate Conversion Rate”).
(ii) Mechanics
of Alternate Conversion. On any Alternate Conversion Date, the Holder may voluntarily convert any Alternate Conversion Amount pursuant
to Section 3(c) at the Alternate Conversion Rate (for the avoidance of doubt, with “Alternate Conversion Price” replacing
“Conversion Price” for all purposes hereunder with respect to such Alternate Conversion and, with “Redemption Premium
of the Conversion Amount” replacing “Conversion Amount” in clause (x) of the definition of Conversion Rate above with
respect to such Alternate Conversion) by designating in the Conversion Notice delivered pursuant to this Section 3(e) of this Note that
the Holder is electing to use the Alternate Conversion Price for such conversion; provided that in the event of the Conversion Floor Price
Condition, on the applicable Alternate Conversion Date the Company shall also deliver to the Holder the applicable Alternate Conversion
Floor Amount (or, at the option of the Company, effect a Conversion Floor Price Deferral with respect thereto). Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Section 3(e), but subject to Section 3(d), until the Company delivers shares of Common Stock representing the
applicable Alternate Conversion Amount to the Holder, such Alternate Conversion Amount may be converted by the Holder into shares of Common
Stock pursuant to Section 3(c) without regard to this Section 3(e). In the event of an Alternate Conversion pursuant to this Section 3(e)
of all, or any portion, of this Note, 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 3(e), together the Alternate Conversion Price used in such Alternate
Conversion, as applicable, 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.
4. RIGHTS

or the execution of a composition of debts, or the occurrence of any other similar federal, state or foreign proceeding, or the admission

its Subsidiaries and which judgments are not, within thirty (30) days after the entry thereof, bonded, discharged, settled or stayed pending
appeal, or are not discharged within thirty (30) days after the expiration of such stay; provided, however, any judgment which is covered
by insurance or an indemnity from a credit worthy party shall not be included in calculating the $1,500,000 amount set forth above so
long as the Company provides the Holder a written statement from such insurer or indemnity provider (which written statement shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Holder) to the effect that such judgment is covered by insurance or an indemnity and the Company or such
Subsidiary (as the case may be) will receive the proceeds of such insurance or indemnity within thirty (30) days of the issuance of such
judgment;
(xiii) the
Company and/or any Subsidiary, individually or in the aggregate, either (i) fails to pay, when due, or within any applicable grace period,

substantial curtailment of revenue producing activities at any facility of the Company or any Subsidiary, if any such event or circumstance
could have a Material Adverse Effect; or
(xxi) any
Event of Default (as defined in the Other Notes) occurs with respect to any Other Notes.
(b) Notice
of an Event of Default; Redemption Right. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to this Note or any Other Note,
the Company shall within two (2) Business Day deliver written notice thereof via electronic mail and overnight courier (with next day
delivery specified) (an “Event of Default Notice”) to the Holder. At any time after the earlier of the Holder’s
receipt of an Event of Default Notice and the Holder becoming aware of an Event of Default (such earlier date, the “Event of
Default Right Commencement Date”) and ending (such ending date, the “Event of Default Right Expiration Date”,
and each such period, an “Event of Default Redemption Right Period”) on the twentieth (20th) Trading Day
after the later of (x) the date such Event of Default is cured and (y) the Holder’s receipt of an Event of Default Notice that includes
(I) a reasonable description of the applicable Event of Default, (II) a certification as to whether, in the opinion of the Company, such
Event of Default is capable of being cured and, if applicable, a reasonable description of any existing plans of the Company to cure such
Event of Default and (III) a certification as to the date the Event of Default occurred and, if cured on or prior to the date of such
Event of Default Notice, the applicable Event of Default Right Expiration Date, the Holder may require the Company to redeem (regardless
of whether such Event of Default has been cured on or prior to the Event of Default Right Expiration Date) all or any portion of this
Note by delivering written notice thereof (the “Event of Default Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Event of
Default Redemption Notice shall indicate the portion of this Note the Holder is electing to redeem. Each portion of this Note subject
to redemption by the Company pursuant to this Section 4(b) shall be redeemed by the Company at a price equal to the greater of (i) the
product of (A) the Conversion Amount to be redeemed multiplied by (B) the Redemption Premium and (ii) the product of (X) the quotient
of (1) the Conversion Amount to be redeemed divided by (2) the Alternate 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 14.
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 a partial redemption of this
Note pursuant hereto, the Principal amount redeemed shall be deducted from the Installment Amount(s) relating to the applicable Installment
Date(s) as set forth in the Event of Default Redemption Notice. 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.
A-11
(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) all outstanding Principal, accrued and unpaid Interest and accrued
and unpaid Late Charges on such Principal and Interest, 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.

(a) Assumption.
The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) 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 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 and (ii) the
Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading
on an Eligible Market. 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 18, 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.
A-12
(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 Alternate 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 Alternate 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 14 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 a partial redemption of this Note pursuant hereto, the Principal amount redeemed shall be deducted
from the Installment Amount(s) relating to the applicable Installment Date(s) as set forth in the Change of Control Redemption Notice.
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.
A-13
6. RIGHTS
UPON ISSUANCE OF PURCHASE RIGHTS AND OTHER CORPORATE EVENTS.
(a) Purchase
Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Sections 7 or 18 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 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 Alternate 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).
(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 6 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.
A-14
7. RIGHTS
UPON ISSUANCE OF OTHER SECURITIES.
(a) Adjustment
of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after the Subscription Date the Company grants, issues or
sells (or enters into any agreement to grant, issue or sell), or in accordance with this Section 7(a) is deemed to have granted, issued
or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the granting, issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account
of the Company, but excluding any Excluded Securities granted, issued or sold or deemed to have been granted, issued or sold) for a consideration
per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
such granting, issuance or sale or deemed granting, issuance or sale (such Conversion Price then in effect is referred to herein as the
“Applicable Price”) (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then, immediately after such Dilutive
Issuance, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price (or, if such Subsequent Placement
solely consists of shares of Common Stock (and does not include any Adjustment Right(s), Option(s) and/or Convertible Security(ies)),
110% of the New Issuance Price). For all purposes of the foregoing (including, without limitation, determining the adjusted Conversion
Price and the New Issuance Price under this Section 7(a)), the following shall be applicable:
(i) Issuance
of Options. If the Company in any manner grants, issues or sells (or enters into any agreement to grant, issue or sell) any Options
and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon
conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option or otherwise pursuant to the
terms thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued
and sold by the Company at the time of the granting, issuance or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section
7(a)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the exercise of any such Option
or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option or otherwise pursuant
to the terms thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or
receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting, issuance or sale of such Option, upon exercise
of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option or otherwise
pursuant to the terms thereof and (y) the lowest exercise price set forth in such Option for which one share of Common Stock is issuable
(or may become issuable assuming all possible market conditions) upon the exercise of any such Options or upon conversion, exercise or
exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof, minus (2)
the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Option (or any other Person) with respect to any one share of Common Stock
upon the granting, issuance or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible
Security issuable upon exercise of such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof plus the value of any other consideration (including,
without limitation, consideration consisting of cash, debt forgiveness, assets or any other property) received or receivable by, or benefit
conferred on, the holder of such Option (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price
shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options
or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange
of such Convertible Securities.
A-15
(ii) Issuance
of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells (or enters into any agreement to issue or sell) any Convertible
Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the conversion, exercise or
exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be
deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale (or the time of execution
of such agreement to issue or sell, as applicable) of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section
7(a)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the conversion, exercise
or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts
of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale (or
pursuant to the agreement to issue or sell, as applicable) of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such
Convertible Security or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof and (y) the lowest conversion price set forth in such Convertible Security
for which one share of Common Stock is issuable (or may become issuable assuming all possible market conditions) upon conversion, exercise
or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such
Convertible Security (or any other Person) with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale (or the agreement to
issue or sell, as applicable) of such Convertible Security plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable (including,
without limitation, any consideration consisting of cash, debt forgiveness, assets or other property) by, or benefit conferred on, the
holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price
shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities
or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof, and if any such issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any
Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Price has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 7(a), except
as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issuance or sale.
(iii) Change
in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration,
if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities
are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any time (other than proportional
changes in conversion or exercise prices, as applicable, in connection with an event referred to in Section 7(b) below), the Conversion
Price in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at
such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration
or increased or decreased conversion rate (as the case may be) at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section
7(a)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security (including, without limitation, any Option or Convertible Security that
was outstanding as of the Subscription Date) are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence,
then such Option or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof
shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall be
made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect.
A-16
(iv) Calculation
of Consideration Received. If any Option and/or Convertible Security and/or Adjustment Right is issued in connection with the issuance
or sale or deemed issuance or sale of any other securities of the Company (as determined by the Holder, the “Primary Security”,
and such Option and/or Convertible Security and/or Adjustment Right, the “Secondary Securities”), together comprising
one integrated transaction (or one or more transactions if such issuances or sales or deemed issuances or sales of securities of the Company
either (A) have at least one investor or purchaser in common, (B) are consummated in reasonable proximity to each other and/or (C) are
consummated under the same plan of financing), the aggregate consideration per share of Common Stock with respect to such Primary Security
shall be deemed to be equal to the difference of (x) the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock was issued (or was
deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 7(a)(i) or 7(a)(ii) above, as applicable) in such integrated transaction solely with respect to
such Primary Security, minus (y) with respect to such Secondary Securities, the sum of (I) the Black Scholes Consideration Value of each
such Option, if any, (II) the fair market value (as determined by the Holder in good faith) or the Black Scholes Consideration Value,
as applicable, of such Adjustment Right, if any, and (III) the fair market value (as determined by the Holder) of such Convertible Security,
if any, in each case, as determined on a per share basis in accordance with this Section 7(a)(iv). If any shares of Common Stock, Options
or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor (for
the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security, but not for the purpose of the
calculation of the Black Scholes Consideration Value) will be deemed to be the net amount of consideration received by the Company therefor.
If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of
such consideration received by the Company (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Common Stock, Option or Convertible
Security, but not for the purpose of the calculation of the Black Scholes Consideration Value) will be the fair value of such consideration,
except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company
for such securities will be the arithmetic average of the VWAPs of such security for each of the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding
the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity
in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor (for the purpose of determining
the consideration paid for such Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security, but not for the purpose of the calculation of the Black
Scholes Consideration Value) will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity
as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities (as the case may be). The fair value of any consideration
other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Holder. If such parties are unable to
reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”),
the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Trading Days after the tenth (10th) day following such
Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holder. The determination of such appraiser
shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
(v) Record
Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend
or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase shares
of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issuance or sale of the
shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution
or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase (as the case may be).
(b) Adjustment
of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. Without limiting any provision of Section 6, Section 18
or Section 7(a), 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, Section 18 or Section 7(a), 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(b) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision
or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this Section 7(b) 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.
A-17
(c) Holder’s
Right of Adjusted Conversion Price. In addition to and not in limitation of the other provisions of this Section 7, if the Company
in any manner issues or sells or enters into any agreement to issue or sell, any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities (other
than pursuant to the Permitted VRT (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)) (any such securities, “Variable Price Securities”),
after the Subscription Date that are issuable pursuant to such agreement or convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares
of Common Stock at a price which varies or may vary with the market price of the shares of Common Stock, including by way of one or more
reset(s) to a fixed price, but exclusive of such formulations reflecting customary anti-dilution provisions (such as share splits, share
combinations, share dividends and similar transactions) (each of the formulations for such variable price being herein referred to as,
the “Variable Price”), the Company shall provide written notice thereof via electronic mail and overnight courier to
the Holder on the date of such agreement and the issuance of such Common Stock, Convertible Securities or Options. From and after the
date the Company enters into such agreement or issues any such Variable Price Securities, the Holder shall have the right, but not the
obligation, in its sole discretion to substitute the Variable Price for the Conversion Price upon conversion of this Note by designating
in the Conversion Notice delivered upon any conversion of this Note that solely for purposes of such conversion the Holder is relying
on the Variable Price rather than the Conversion Price then in effect. The Holder’s election to rely on a Variable Price for a particular
conversion of this Note shall not obligate the Holder to rely on a Variable Price for any future conversion of this Note. In addition,
from and after the date the Company enters into such agreement or issues any such Variable Price Securities, for purposes of calculating
the Installment Conversion Price as of any time of determination, the “Conversion Price” as used therein shall mean the lower
of (x) the Conversion Price as of such time of determination and (y) the Variable Price as of such time of determination.
(d) Stock
Combination Event Adjustments. If at any time and from time to time on or after the Subscription Date there occurs any stock split,
stock dividend, stock combination recapitalization or other similar transaction involving the Common Stock (each, a “Stock Combination
Event”, and such date thereof, the “Stock Combination Event Date”) and the Event Market Price is less than
the Conversion Price then in effect (after giving effect to the adjustment in Section 7(b) above), then on the sixteenth (16th)
Trading Day immediately following such Stock Combination Event Date, the Conversion Price then in effect on such sixteenth (16th)
Trading Day (after giving effect to the adjustment in Section 7(b) above) shall be reduced (but in no event increased) to the Event Market
Price. For the avoidance of doubt, if the adjustment in the immediately preceding sentence would otherwise result in an increase in the
Conversion Price hereunder, no adjustment shall be made.
(e) Other
Events. In the event that the Company (or any Subsidiary) shall take any action to which the provisions hereof are not strictly applicable,
or, if applicable, would not operate to protect the Holder from dilution or if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions
of this Section 7 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation
rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s board of directors shall in good faith determine
and implement an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the Holder, provided that no such adjustment
pursuant to this Section 7(e) will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 7, provided further
that if the Holder does not accept such adjustments as appropriately protecting its interests hereunder against such dilution, then the
Company’s board of directors and the Holder shall agree, in good faith, upon an independent investment bank of nationally recognized
standing to make such appropriate adjustments, whose determination shall be final and binding absent manifest error and whose fees and
expenses shall be borne by the Company.
(f) 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.
A-18
(g) 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, with the prior written consent of the Required Holders (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), 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.
(h) Six
Month Adjustment. On [ ]2 (the “Six Month Adjustment Date”), if the Conversion Price then in effect
is greater than the greater of (i) $6.00 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations and similar
transactions) and (ii) the Six Month Adjustment Measuring Price, at 8:00 am, New York city time on the Six Month Adjustment Date (such
greater price, the “Sixth Month Adjustment Price”), the Conversion Price shall automatically lower to the Six Month
Adjustment Price.
8. INSTALLMENT
CONVERSION OR REDEMPTION.
(a) General.
On each applicable Installment Date, provided there has been no Equity Conditions Failure, the Company shall pay to the Holder of this
Note the applicable Installment Amount due on such date by converting such Installment Amount in accordance with this Section 8 (a “Installment
Conversion”); provided, however, that the Company may, at its option following notice to the Holder as set forth
below, pay the Installment Amount by redeeming such Installment Amount in cash (a “Installment Redemption”) or by any
combination of an Installment Conversion and an Installment Redemption so long as all of the outstanding applicable Installment Amount
due on any Installment Date shall be converted and/or redeemed by the Company on the applicable Installment Date, subject to the provisions
of this Section 8. On or prior to the date which is the eleventh (11th) Trading Day prior to each Installment Date (each, an “Installment
Notice Due Date”), the Company shall deliver written notice (each, a “Installment Notice” and the date all
of the holders receive such notice is referred to as to the “Installment Notice Date”), to each holder of Notes and
such Installment Notice shall (i) either (A) confirm that the applicable Installment Amount of such holder’s Note shall be converted
in whole pursuant to an Installment Conversion or (B) (1) state that the Company elects to redeem for cash, or is required to redeem for
cash in accordance with the provisions of the Notes, in whole or in part, the applicable Installment Amount pursuant to an Installment
Redemption and (2) specify the portion of such Installment Amount which the Company elects or is required to redeem pursuant to an Installment
Redemption (such amount to be redeemed in cash, the “Installment Redemption Amount”) and the portion of the applicable
Installment Amount, if any, with respect to which the Company will, and is permitted to, effect an Installment Conversion (such amount
of the applicable Installment Amount so specified to be so converted pursuant to this Section 8 is referred to herein as the “Installment
Conversion Amount”), which amounts when added together, must at least equal the entire applicable Installment Amount and (ii)
if the applicable Installment Amount is to be paid, in whole or in part, pursuant to an Installment Conversion, certify that there is
not then an Equity Conditions Failure as of the applicable Installment Notice Date. Each Installment Notice shall be irrevocable. If the
Company does not timely deliver an Installment Notice in accordance with this Section 8 with respect to a particular Installment Date,
then the Company shall be deemed to have delivered an irrevocable Installment Notice confirming an Installment Conversion of the entire
Installment Amount payable on such Installment Date and shall be deemed to have certified that there is not then an Equity Conditions
Failure in connection with such Installment Conversion. Except as expressly provided in this Section 8(a), the Company shall convert and/or
redeem the applicable Installment Amount of this Note pursuant to this Section 8 and the corresponding Installment Amounts of the Other
Notes pursuant to the corresponding provisions of the Other Notes in the same ratio of the applicable Installment Amount being converted
and/or redeemed hereunder. The applicable Installment Conversion Amount (whether set forth in the applicable Installment Notice or by
operation of this Section 8) shall be converted in accordance with Section 8(b) and the applicable Installment Redemption Amount shall
be redeemed in accordance with Section 8(c).
2 Insert six month anniversary of Issuance Date
A-19
(b) Mechanics
of Installment Conversion. Subject to Section 3(d), if the Company delivers an Installment Notice or is deemed to have delivered an
Installment Notice certifying that such Installment Amount is being paid, in whole or in part, in an Installment Conversion in accordance
with Section 8(a), then the remainder of this Section 8(b) shall apply. The applicable Installment Conversion Amount, if any, shall be
converted on the applicable Installment Date at the applicable Installment Conversion Price and the Company shall, on such Installment
Date, (A) deliver to the Holder’s account with DTC such shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion (subject to the reduction
contemplated by the immediately following sentence and, if applicable, the penultimate sentence of this Section 8(b)) and (B) in the event
of the Conversion Floor Price Condition, the Company shall deliver to the Holder the applicable Installment Conversion Floor Amount (or,
at the option of the Company, effect a Conversion Floor Price Deferral with respect thereto), provided that the Equity Conditions are
then satisfied (or waived in writing by the Holder) on such Installment Date and an Installment Conversion is not otherwise prohibited
under any other provision of this Note, provided that the Equity Conditions are then satisfied (or waived in writing by the Holder) on
such Installment Date and an Installment Conversion is not otherwise prohibited under any other provision of this Note. If the Company
confirmed (or is deemed to have confirmed by operation of Section 8(a)) the conversion of the applicable Installment Conversion Amount,
in whole or in part, and there was no Equity Conditions Failure as of the applicable Installment Notice Date (or is deemed to have certified
that the Equity Conditions in connection with any such conversion have been satisfied by operation of Section 8(a)) but an Equity Conditions
Failure occurred between the applicable Installment Notice Date and any time through the applicable Installment Date (the “Interim
Installment Period”), the Company shall provide the Holder a subsequent notice to that effect. If there is an Equity Conditions
Failure (which is not waived in writing by the Holder) during such Interim Installment Period or an Installment Conversion is not otherwise
permitted under any other provision of this Note, then, at the option of the Holder designated in writing to the Company, the Holder may
require the Company to do any one or more of the following: (i) the Company shall redeem all or any part designated by the Holder of the
unconverted Installment Conversion Amount (such designated amount is referred to as the “Designated Redemption Amount”)
and the Company shall pay to the Holder within one (1) day of such Installment Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds,
an amount in cash equal to 125% of such Designated Redemption Amount, and/or (ii) the Installment Conversion shall be null and void with
respect to all or any part designated by the Holder of the unconverted Installment Conversion Amount and the Holder shall be entitled
to all the rights of a holder of this Note with respect to such designated part of the Installment Conversion Amount; provided, however,
the Conversion Price for such designated part of such unconverted Installment Conversion Amount shall thereafter be adjusted to equal
the lesser of (A) the Installment Conversion Price as in effect on the date on which the Holder voided the Installment Conversion and
(B) the Installment Conversion Price that would be in effect on the date on which the Holder delivers a Conversion Notice relating thereto
as if such date was an Installment Date. If the Company fails to redeem any Designated Redemption Amount by the first (1st) day following
the applicable Installment Date by payment of such amount by such date, then the Holder shall have the rights set forth in Section 14(a)
as if the Company failed to pay the applicable Installment Redemption Price (as defined below) and all other rights under this Note (including,
without limitation, such failure constituting an Event of Default described in Section 4(a)(vi)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Section 8(b), but subject to 3(d), until the Company delivers Common Stock representing the Installment Conversion Amount to the
Holder, the Installment Conversion Amount may be converted by the Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 3. In the event that the
Holder elects to convert the Installment Conversion Amount prior to the applicable Installment Date as set forth in the immediately preceding
sentence, the Installment Conversion Amount so converted shall be deducted from the Installment Amount(s) relating to the applicable Installment
Date(s) as set forth in the applicable Conversion Notice. The Company shall pay any and all taxes that may be payable with respect to
the issuance and delivery of any shares of Common Stock in any Installment Conversion hereunder.
(c) Mechanics
of Installment Redemption. If the Company elects or is required to effect an Installment Redemption, in whole or in part, in accordance
with Section 8(a), then the Installment Redemption Amount, if any, shall be redeemed by the Company in cash on the applicable Installment
Date by wire transfer to the Holder of immediately available funds in an amount equal to 105% of the applicable Installment Redemption
Amount (the “Installment Redemption Price”). If the Company fails to redeem such Installment Redemption Amount on such
Installment Date by payment of the Installment Redemption Price, then, at the option of the Holder designated in writing to the Company
(any such designation shall be a “Conversion Notice” for purposes of this Note), the Holder may require the Company
to convert all or any part of the Installment Redemption Amount at the Installment Conversion Price (determined as of the date of such
designation as if such date were an Installment Date). Conversions required by this Section 8(c) shall be made in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3(c). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8(c), but subject to Section 3(d), until the Installment
Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) is paid in full, the Installment Redemption Amount (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 the Holder elects
to convert all or any portion of the Installment Redemption Amount prior to the applicable Installment Date as set forth in the immediately
preceding sentence, the Installment Redemption Amount so converted shall be deducted from the Installment Amounts relating to the applicable
Installment Date(s) as set forth in the applicable Conversion Notice. Redemptions required by this Section 8(c) shall be made in accordance
with the provisions of Section 14.
A-20
(d) Deferred
Installment Amount. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 8(d) to the contrary, the Holder may, at its option and in its sole
discretion, deliver a written notice to the Company no later than the Trading Day immediately prior to the applicable Installment Date
electing to have the payment of all or any portion of an Installment Amount payable on such Installment Date deferred (such amount deferred,
the “Deferral Amount”, and such deferral, each a “Deferral”) until any subsequent Installment Date
selected by the Holder, in its sole discretion, in which case, the Deferral Amount shall be added to, and become part of, such subsequent
Installment Amount and such Deferral Amount shall continue to accrue Interest hereunder. Any notice delivered by the Holder pursuant to
this Section 8(d) shall set forth (i) the Deferral Amount and (ii) the date that such Deferral Amount shall now be payable.
(e) Acceleration
of Installment Amounts. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 8 to the contrary, but subject to Section 3(d), during the
period commencing on [ ]3 an Installment Date (an “Acceleration Right Commencement Date”) and ending on
the Trading Day immediately prior to the next Installment Date (each, an “Installment Period”), at the option of the
Holder, at one or more times, the Holder may convert all, or any part, of (x) if on or after an Installment Notice Date for the Acceleration
Right Commencement Date and prior to such Acceleration Right Commencement Date, any shares of Common Stock subject to an Installment
Conversion hereunder for such Acceleration Right Commencement Date, (y) any amounts Deferred with respect to such Acceleration Right
Commencement Date or (z) any additional amounts the Company may elect in writing (which may be an e-mail), from time to time, to permit
to be subject to one or more Accelerations hereunder (each, an “Acceleration”, and each such amount, an “Acceleration
Amount”, and the Conversion Date of any such Acceleration, each an “Acceleration Date”), in whole or in
part, at the Acceleration Conversion Price of such Acceleration Date in accordance with the conversion procedures set forth in Section
3 hereunder (with “Acceleration Conversion Price” replacing “Conversion Price” for all purposes therein), mutatis
mutandis; provided, that if a Conversion Floor Price Condition exists with respect to such Acceleration Date, with each Acceleration
the Company shall also deliver to the Holder the Acceleration Floor Amount on each applicable Share Delivery Deadline with respect thereto
(or, at the option of the Company, effect a Conversion Floor Price Deferral with respect thereto).
9. REDEMPTIONS
AT THE COMPANY’S ELECTION.
(a) Company
Optional Redemption. At any time after the date hereof, the Company shall have the right to redeem all, or any part, of the Conversion
Amount then remaining under this Note (each, a “Company Optional Redemption Amount”) on a Company Optional Redemption
Date (each as defined below) (each, a “Company Optional Redemption”). The portion of this Note subject to redemption
pursuant to this Section 9(a) shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price (each “Company Optional Redemption Price”)
equal to Company Optional Redemption Applicable Percentage of the greater of (i) the Conversion Amount being redeemed as of the Company
Optional Redemption Date and (ii) if an Equity Conditions Failure then exists, the product of (1) the Conversion Rate (or, if an Event
of Default then exists, the Alternate Conversion Rate) with respect to the Conversion Amount being redeemed as of the Company Optional
Redemption Date 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 Company Optional Redemption Notice Date and ending on the Trading Day immediately prior to the
date the Company makes the entire payment required to be made under this Section 9(a). The Company may exercise its right to require redemption
under this Section 9(a) by delivering a written notice thereof by electronic mail and overnight courier to all, but not less than all,
of the holders of Notes (the “Company Optional Redemption Notice” and the date all of the holders of Notes received
such notice is referred to as the “Company Optional Redemption Notice Date”). The Company Optional Redemption Notice
shall be irrevocable and the Company may deliver only one (1) Company Optional Redemption Notice in any twenty (20) Trading Day period.
The Company Optional Redemption Notice shall (x) state the date on which the Company Optional Redemption shall occur (the “Company
Optional Redemption Date”) which date shall not be less than twenty (20) Trading Days nor more than forty (40) Trading Days
following the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date, and (y) state the aggregate Conversion Amount of the Notes which is being redeemed
in such Company Optional Redemption from the Holder and all of the other holders of the Notes pursuant to this Section 9(a) (and analogous
provisions under the Other Notes) on the Company Optional Redemption Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at any time
prior to the date the Company Optional Redemption Price is paid, in full, the Company Optional Redemption Amount may be converted, in
whole or in part, by the Holder into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3. All Conversion Amounts converted by the Holder after
the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date shall reduce the Company Optional Redemption Amount of this Note required to be redeemed on
the Company Optional Redemption Date. Redemptions made pursuant to this Section 9(a) shall be made in accordance with Section 14. In the
event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of this Note under this Section 9, 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 9 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall have no right to effect a Company Optional Redemption if any Event of Default
has occurred and continuing, but any Event of Default shall have no effect upon the Holder’s right to convert this Note in its discretion.
3 Insert in Additional Notes only: (I) if prior to the initial
Installment Date, the Issuance Date or (II) at any time on or after the initial Installment Date,
A-21
(b) Pro
Rata Redemption Requirement. If the Company elects to cause a Company Optional Redemption of this Note pursuant to Section 9(a) above,
then it must simultaneously take the same action with respect to all of the Other Notes.
10. SUBSEQUENT
PLACEMENT OPTIONAL REDEMPTION
(a) General.
At any time from and after the earlier of (x) the date the Holder (the “Holder Subsequent Placement Notice Date”) becomes
aware of the occurrence of a Subsequent Placement (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) (in each case, other than with respect
to Excluded Securities (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)) (each, an “Eligible Subsequent Placement”),
and (y) the time of consummation of such Eligible Subsequent Placement, the Holder shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require
that the Company redeem (each, a “Subsequent Placement Optional Redemption”) all, or any portion, of the Outstanding
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. The Company shall notify the
Holder in writing no later than five (5) Trading Days after the occurrence of any Eligible Subsequent Placement, which notice shall include
(i) the sale price of each Eligible Subsequent Placement, (ii) the date of each Eligible Subsequent Placement and (iii) the aggregate
gross proceeds of each Eligible Subsequent Placement.
(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 Conversion Amount of this Note (with a Subsequent Placement Optional Redemption
Price not in excess of such applicable 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 30% of the greater of (i) Subsequent Placement Optional Redemption Amount being redeemed as
of the Subsequent Placement Optional Redemption Date and (ii) the product of (1) the quotient of (A) the Subsequent Placement Optional
Redemption Amount being redeemed divided by (B) the Alternate Conversion Price then in effect as of the Subsequent Placement Optional
Redemption Date 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 Subsequent Placement Redemption Notice Date and ending on the Trading Day immediately prior to
the date the Company makes the entire payment required to be made under this Section 10 (the “Subsequent Placement Optional Redemption
Price”). Redemptions required by this Section 10 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.
11. ASSET
SALE OPTIONAL REDEMPTION
(a) General.
At any time from and after the earlier of (x) the date the Holder becomes aware of the occurrence of an Asset Sale (as defined below)(including
any insurance and condemnation proceeds thereof) (each, a “Holder Asset Sale Notice Date”) and (y) the time of consummation
of an Asset Sale (other than sales of inventory and product in the ordinary course of business) (each, an “Eligible Asset Sale”),
the Holder shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require that the Company redeem (each an “Asset Sale Optional Redemption”)
all, or any portion, of the Conversion Amount under this Note not in excess of (together with any Asset Sale 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
15% of the net proceeds (including any insurance and condemnation proceeds with respect thereto) of such Eligible Asset Sale (each, an
“Eligible Asset Sale Optional Redemption Amount”) by delivering written notice thereof (each, an “Asset Sale
Optional Redemption Notice”, and each date thereof, an “Asset Sale Redemption Notice Date”) to the Company.
A-22
(b) Mechanics.
Each Asset Sale Optional Redemption Notice shall indicate that all, or such applicable portion, as set forth in the applicable Asset Sale
Optional Redemption Notice, of the Conversion Amount of this Note (with an Asset Sale Optional Redemption Price not in excess of such
applicable Eligible Asset Sale Optional Redemption Amount) the Holder is electing to have redeemed (each, an “Asset Sale Optional
Redemption Amount”) and the date of such Asset Sale Optional Redemption (each, an “Asset Sale Optional Redemption Date”),
which shall be the later of (x) the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date of the applicable Asset Sale Optional Redemption Notice and
(y) the date of the consummation of such Eligible Asset Sale. The portion of the Conversion Amount of this Note subject to redemption
pursuant to this Section 11 shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to 115% of the greater of (i) the Asset Sale Optional
Redemption Amount being redeemed as of the Asset Sale Optional Redemption Date and (ii) the product of (1) the quotient of (A) the Asset
Sale Optional Redemption Amount being redeemed divided by (B) the Alternate Conversion Price then in effect as of the Asset Sale Optional
Redemption Date 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 Asset Sale Redemption Notice Date and ending on the Trading Day immediately prior to the date the
Company makes the entire payment required to be made under this Section 11 (each, an “Asset Sale Optional Redemption Price”).
Redemptions required by this Section 11 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.
12. 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.
13. RESERVATION
OF AUTHORIZED SHARES.
(a) Reservation.
So long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall at all times reserve at least 300% of the number of shares of Common Stock
as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion, including without limitation, Installment Conversions, Alternate Conversions
and Accelerations, of all of the Notes then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on conversions and assuming such Notes remain
outstanding until the Maturity Date) at the Alternate Conversion Price then in effect (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 Applicable 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.
A-23
(b) Insufficient
Authorized Shares. If, notwithstanding Section 13(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 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 Closing Sale Price 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 13(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 13(a) or this Section
13(b) shall limit any obligations of the Company under any provision of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
14. 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. If the Holder has submitted a Change of Control Redemption
Notice in accordance with Section 5(b), 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. The Company shall deliver the applicable
Installment Redemption Price to the Holder in cash on the applicable Installment Date. The Company shall deliver the applicable Company
Optional Redemption Price to the Holder in cash on the applicable Company Optional Redemption Date. The Company shall deliver the applicable
Asset Sale Optional Redemption Price to the Holder in cash on the applicable Asset Sale Optional Redemption 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 21(d)) representing the outstanding Principal 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 21(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 14,
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) the
greater of (x) the Floor Price and (y) 75% 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) the greater of (x) the Floor Price and (y) 75% 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.
A-24
(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(b) (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 seven (7) 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
seven (7) 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 seven (7) Business Day period.
15. VOTING

Date, the Company shall provide to the Holders a written certification, executed on behalf of the Company by the Chief Financial Officer
of the Company, certifying that the Financial Test has not been met for such calendar month (each, a “Financial Covenant Failure

(t) 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.
17. SECURITY.
This Note and the Other Notes are secured to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Transaction Documents (including, without limitation,
the Security Agreement, the other Security Documents and the Guaranties).
18. DISTRIBUTION
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 Alternate 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).

the aggregate the outstanding Principal of this Note, and each such new Note will represent such portion of such outstanding Principal
as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender.
(d) Issuance
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
of like tenor with this Note, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Note, the Principal remaining outstanding (or
in the case of a new Note being issued pursuant to Section 21(a) or Section 21(c), the Principal designated by the Holder which, when
added to the principal represented by the other new Notes issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the Principal remaining
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, and
(v) shall represent accrued and unpaid Interest and Late Charges on the Principal and Interest of this Note, from the Issuance Date.
22. REMEDIES,

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 requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of

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

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 Initial
Closing Date in such other Transaction Documents unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Holder.
25. 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 25 shall permit any waiver of any
provision of Section 3(d).

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

support to such investment bank in connection with such dispute (other than the Required Dispute Documentation).
(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

to the Securities Purchase Agreement shall have been issued at an Additional Closing (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)
on the Initial Closing Date, (x) the Notes are convertible at the Floor Price (as defined in the Notes) assuming a Conversion Date (as
defined in the Notes) as of such time of determination, (y) interest on the Notes shall accrue through the third anniversary of the Initial
Closing Date and will be converted into shares of Common Stock at the Floor Price assuming a Conversion Date as of such time of determination,
and (z) any such conversion shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of the Notes set forth in the Notes, all subject
to adjustment as provided in Section 2(d) and/or Section 2(f).
(n) “Rule
144” means Rule 144 promulgated by the SEC under the 1933 Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time, or any other similar
or successor rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public without
registration.
(o) “Rule
415” means Rule 415 promulgated by the SEC under the 1933 Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time, or any other similar
or successor rule or regulation of the SEC providing for offering securities on a continuous or delayed basis.
(p) “SEC”
means the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or any successor thereto.
2. Registration.
(a) Mandatory
Registration. The Company shall prepare and, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than the Filing Deadline, file
with the SEC an initial Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities, provided that such
initial Registration Statement shall register for resale at least the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Registration
Amount as of the date such Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC; provided further that if Form S-3 is unavailable for
such a registration, the Company shall use such other form as is required by Section 2(c). Such initial Registration Statement, and each
other Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, shall include the information set forth in
(except if otherwise directed by the Required Holders) the “Selling Stockholders” and “Plan of Distribution”
sections in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have such
initial Registration Statement, and each other Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, declared
effective by the SEC as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than the applicable Effectiveness Deadline for such Registration
Statement.
B-3
(b) Legal
Counsel. Subject to Section 5 hereof, Kelley Drye & Warren LLP, counsel solely to the lead investor (“Legal Counsel”),
shall review and oversee, as outlined in Section 3(e), any registration, solely on behalf of the lead investor, pursuant to this Section 2.
(c) Ineligibility
to Use Form S-3. In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder,
the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or another appropriate form reasonably acceptable
to the Required Holders and (ii) undertake to register the resale of the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as reasonably
practicable after such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of all Registration Statements then
in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all the Registrable Securities has been declared
effective by the SEC and the prospectus contained therein is available for use.
(d) Sufficient
Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of shares available under any Registration Statement is insufficient to cover
all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement or an Investor’s allocated portion of the
Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(h), the Company shall amend such Registration Statement (if permissible), or file with
the SEC a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover at least the Required
Registration Amount as of the Trading Day (as defined in the Notes) immediately preceding the date of the filing of such amendment or
new Registration Statement, in each case, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days
after the Company is aware that the necessity therefor arises (but taking account of any Staff position with respect to the date on which
the Staff will permit such amendment to the Registration Statement and/or such new Registration Statement (as the case may be) to be filed
with the SEC). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment to such Registration Statement and/or such new
Registration Statement (as the case may be) to become effective as soon as reasonably practicable following the filing thereof with the
SEC, but in no event later than the applicable Effectiveness Deadline for such Registration Statement. For purposes of the foregoing provision,
the number of shares available under a Registration Statement shall be deemed “insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities”
if at any time the number of shares of Common Stock available for resale under the applicable Registration Statement is less than the
product determined by multiplying (i) the Required Registration Amount as of such time by (ii) 0.90. The calculation set forth in the
foregoing sentence shall be made without regard to any limitations on conversion, amortization and/or redemption of the Notes (and such
calculation shall assume (A) that the Notes are then convertible in full into shares of Common Stock at the then prevailing Conversion
Rate (as defined in the Notes) and (B) the initial outstanding principal amount of the Notes remains outstanding through the scheduled
Maturity Date (as defined in the Notes) and no redemptions of the Notes occur prior to the scheduled Maturity Date).
B-4
(e) Effect
of Failure to File and Obtain and Maintain Effectiveness of any Registration Statement. If (i) a Registration Statement covering the
resale of all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered thereby (disregarding any reduction pursuant to Section 2(f))
and required to be filed by the Company pursuant to this Agreement is (A) not filed with the SEC on or before the Filing Deadline for
such Registration Statement (a “Filing Failure”) (it being understood that if the Company files a Registration Statement
without affording each Investor and Legal Counsel the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section 3(c) hereof,
the Company shall be deemed to not have satisfied this clause (i)(A) and such event shall be deemed to be a Filing Failure) or (B)
not declared effective by the SEC on or before the Effectiveness Deadline for such Registration Statement (an “Effectiveness
Failure”) (it being understood that if on the Business Day immediately following the Effective Date for such Registration Statement
the Company shall not have filed a “final” prospectus for such Registration Statement with the SEC under Rule 424(b) in accordance
with Section 3(b) (whether or not such a prospectus is technically required by such rule), the Company shall be deemed to not have
satisfied this clause (i)(B) and such event shall be deemed to be an Effectiveness Failure), (ii) other than during an Allowable Grace
Period (as defined below), on any day after the Effective Date of a Registration Statement sales of all of the Registrable Securities
required to be included on such Registration Statement (disregarding any reduction pursuant to Section 2(f)) cannot be made pursuant
to such Registration Statement (including, without limitation, because of a failure to keep such Registration Statement effective, a failure
to disclose such information as is necessary for sales to be made pursuant to such Registration Statement, a suspension or delisting of
(or a failure to timely list) the shares of Common Stock on the Principal Market (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or
any other limitations imposed by the Principal Market, or a failure to register a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock or by reason
of a stop order) or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use for any reason (a “Maintenance Failure”),
or (iii) if a Registration Statement is not effective for any reason or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use for
any reason, and either (x) the Company fails for any reason to satisfy the requirements of Rule 144(c)(1), including, without limitation,
the failure to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) or (y) the Company has ever been an issuer described
in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) or becomes such an issuer in the future, and the Company shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2)
(a “Current Public Information Failure”) as a result of which any of the Investors are unable to sell Registrable Securities
without restriction under Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions), then, as partial relief for the damages
to any holder by reason of any such delay in, or reduction of, its ability to sell the underlying shares of Common Stock (which remedy
shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity, including, without limitation, specific performance), the
Company shall pay to each holder of Registrable Securities relating to such Registration Statement an amount in cash equal to one percent
(1%) of such Investor’s original principal amount stated in such Investor’s Note on the Initial Closing Date (1) on the date
of such Filing Failure, Effectiveness Failure, Maintenance Failure or Current Public Information Failure, as applicable, and (2) on every
thirty (30) day anniversary of (I) a Filing Failure until such Filing Failure is cured; (II) an Effectiveness Failure until such Effectiveness
Failure is cured; (III) a Maintenance Failure until such Maintenance Failure is cured; and (IV) a Current Public Information Failure
until the earlier of (i) the date such Current Public Information Failure is cured and (ii) such time that such public information is
no longer required pursuant to Rule 144 (in each case, prorated for periods totaling less than thirty (30) calendar days). The payments
to which a holder of Registrable Securities shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 2(e) are referred to herein as “Registration
Delay Payments.” Following the initial Registration Delay Payment for any particular event or failure (which shall be paid on
the date of such event or failure, as set forth above), without limiting the foregoing, if an event or failure giving rise to the Registration
Delay Payments is cured prior to any thirty (30) day anniversary of such event or failure, then such Registration Delay Payment shall
be made on the third (3rd) Business Day after such cure. In the event the Company fails to make Registration Delay Payments
in a timely manner in accordance with the foregoing, such Registration Delay Payments shall bear interest at the rate of one percent (1%)
per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Registration Delay Payments shall be owed
to an Investor (other than with respect to a Maintenance Failure resulting from a suspension or delisting of (or a failure to timely list)
the shares of Common Stock on the Principal Market) with respect to any period during which all of such Investor’s Registrable Securities
may be sold by such Investor without restriction under Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions) and without the need
for current public information required by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable).
B-5
(f) Offering.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, but subject to the payment of the Registration Delay Payments pursuant
to Section 2(e), in the event the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) or the SEC seeks to characterize any offering
pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement as constituting an offering of securities by, or on behalf
of, the Company, or in any other manner, such that the Staff or the SEC do not permit such Registration Statement to become
effective and used for resales in a manner that does not constitute such an offering and that permits the continuous resale at the market
by the Investors participating therein (or as otherwise may be reasonably acceptable to each Investor) without being named therein
as an “underwriter,” then the Company shall reduce the number of shares to be included in such Registration Statement by all
Investors until such time as the Staff and the SEC shall so permit such Registration Statement to become effective as aforesaid.
In making such reduction, the Company shall reduce the number of shares to be included by all Investors on a pro rata basis (based upon
the number of Registrable Securities otherwise required to be included for each Investor) unless the inclusion of shares by a particular
Investor or a particular set of Investors are resulting in the Staff or the SEC’s “by or on behalf of the Company” offering
position, in which event the shares held by such Investor or set of Investors shall be the only shares subject to reduction (and if by
a set of Investors on a pro rata basis by such Investors or on such other basis as would result in the exclusion of the least number of
shares by all such Investors); provided, that, with respect to such pro rata portion allocated to any Investor, such Investor may elect
the allocation of such pro rata portion among the Registrable Securities of such Investor. In addition, in the event that the Staff or
the SEC requires any Investor seeking to sell securities under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement to
be specifically identified as an “underwriter” in order to permit such Registration Statement to become effective, and such
Investor does not consent to being so named as an underwriter in such Registration Statement, then, in each such case, the Company shall
reduce the total number of Registrable Securities to be registered on behalf of such Investor, until such time as the Staff
or the SEC does not require such identification or until such Investor accepts such identification and the manner thereof. Any reduction
pursuant to this paragraph will first reduce all Registrable Securities other than those issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase
Agreement. In the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this paragraph, an affected Investor
shall have the right to require, upon delivery of a written request to the Company signed by such Investor, the Company to file a registration
statement within ten (10) calendar days of such request (subject to any restrictions imposed by Rule 415 or required by the Staff
or the SEC) for resale by such Investor in a manner reasonably acceptable to such Investor, and the Company shall following such request cause
to be and keep effective such registration statement in the same manner as otherwise contemplated in this Agreement for registration
statements hereunder, in each case until such time as: (i) all Registrable Securities held by such Investor have been registered
and sold pursuant to an effective Registration Statement in a manner reasonably acceptable to such Investor or (ii) all Registrable
Securities may be resold by such Investor without restriction (including, without limitation, volume limitations) pursuant to Rule
144 (taking account of any Staff position with respect to “affiliate” status) and without the need for current public information
required by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) or (iii) such Investor agrees to be named as an underwriter in any such
Registration Statement in a manner reasonably acceptable to such Investor as to all Registrable Securities held by such Investor and that
have not theretofore been included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement (it being understood that the special demand right
under this sentence may be exercised by an Investor multiple times and with respect to limited amounts of Registrable Securities in order
to permit the resale thereof by such Investor as contemplated above).
(g) Piggyback
Registrations. Without limiting any obligation of the Company hereunder or under the Securities Purchase Agreement, if there is not
an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities or the prospectus contained therein is not available for
use and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement or offering statement relating to an offering
for its own account or the account of others under the 1933 Act of any of its equity securities (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each
as promulgated under the 1933 Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any
acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s stock option or other employee
benefit plans), then the Company shall deliver to each Investor a written notice of such determination and, if within five (5) Trading
Days after the date of the delivery of such notice, any such Investor shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration
statement or offering statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Investor requests to be registered; provided, however,
the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2(g) that are eligible for resale
pursuant to Rule 144 without restriction (including, without limitation, volume restrictions) and without the need for current public
information required by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) or that are the subject of a then-effective Registration
Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company is advised by the managing underwriter or placement agent (if any) for such offering
that the total amount of securities to be included in such registration exceeds the amount that can be sold in such offering without adversely
affecting the price, timing, or distribution of the offering, then the Company shall include in such registration: (i) first, the securities
the Company proposes to sell for its own account or the account of any other Person at whose request such registration is being effected,
and (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included by the Investors, allocated on a pro rata basis among such Investors
based on the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included by each such Investor.
(h) Allocation
of Registrable Securities. The initial number of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement, other than a piggyback
registration pursuant to Section 2(g) hereof (the allocations of which shall be made pursuant to Section 2(g)) and any increase in the
number of Registrable Securities included therein shall be allocated pro rata among the Investors based on the number of Registrable Securities
held by each Investor at the time such Registration Statement covering such initial number of Registrable Securities or increase thereof
is declared effective by the SEC. In the event that an Investor sells or otherwise transfers any of such Investor’s Registrable
Securities, each transferee or assignee (as the case may be) that becomes an Investor pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement shall be
allocated a pro rata portion of the then-remaining number of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement for such transferor
or assignee (as the case may be). Any shares of Common Stock included in a Registration Statement and which remain allocated to any Person
which ceases to hold any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement shall be allocated to the remaining Investors,
pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities then held by such Investors which are covered by such Registration Statement.
B-6
(i) No
Inclusion of Other Securities. Except for the securities described on Schedule 2(i) attached hereto (the “Third Party Securities”),
the Company shall in no event include any securities other than Registrable Securities on any Registration Statement filed in accordance
with Section 2(a) or Section 2(d) above without the prior written consent of the Required Holders; provided, that in the event of any
reduction in the aggregate number of shares subject to registration in such registration Statement in accordance herewith, the Company
shall reduce all Third Party Securities before reducing any of the Registrable Securities. Until the Applicable Date (as defined in the
Securities Purchase Agreement), the Company shall not enter into any agreement providing any registration rights to any of its security
holders, except as otherwise permitted under the Securities Purchase Agreement.
3. Related
Obligations.
The Company shall use its
reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition
thereof, and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:
(a) The
Company shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to all the Registrable Securities (but in no
event later than the applicable Filing Deadline) and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective
as soon as reasonably practicable after such filing (but in no event later than the Effectiveness Deadline).
(b) Subject
to Allowable Grace Periods, the Company shall keep each Registration Statement effective (and the prospectus contained therein available
for use) pursuant to Rule 415 for resales by the Investors on a delayed or continuous basis at then-prevailing market prices (and not
fixed prices) at all times until the earlier of (i) the date as of which all of the Investors may sell all of the Registrable Securities
required to be covered by such Registration Statement (disregarding any reduction pursuant to Section 2(f)) without restriction pursuant
to Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions) and without the need for current public information required by Rule
144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) or (ii) the date on which the Investors shall have sold all of the Registrable Securities
covered by such Registration Statement (the “Registration Period”).
B-7
(c) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall ensure that, when filed and at all times while effective, each
Registration Statement (including, without limitation, all amendments and supplements thereto) and the prospectus (including, without
limitation, all amendments and supplements thereto) used in connection with such Registration Statement (1) shall not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein
(in the case of prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading and (2) will disclose (whether
directly or through incorporation by reference to other SEC filings to the extent permitted) all material information regarding the Company
and its securities.
(d) The
Company shall submit to the SEC, within two (2) Business Days after the later of the date that (i) the Company learns that no review of
a particular Registration Statement will be made by the Staff or that the Staff has no further comments on a particular Registration Statement
(as the case may be) and (ii) the consent of Legal Counsel is obtained pursuant to Section 3(c) (which consent shall be promptly
sought), a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date as soon as reasonably practicable
but not later than two (2) Business Days after the submission of such request. The Company shall respond in writing to comments made by
the SEC in respect of a Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after
the receipt of comments by or notice from the SEC that an amendment is required in order for a Registration Statement to be declared effective.
(e) Subject
to Section 3(r) of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including, without limitation,
post-effective amendments) and supplements to each Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with each such Registration
Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary to keep each such
Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period for such Registration Statement, and, during such period,
comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company required to be
covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance
with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement; provided, however,
by 8:30 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately following each Effective Date, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance
with Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement
(whether or not such a prospectus is technically required by such rule). In the case of amendments and supplements to any Registration
Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to this Section 3(b))
by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 8-K, Form 10-Q, Form 10-K, or any analogous report under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), the Company shall, if permitted under the applicable rules and regulations of
the SEC, have incorporated such report by reference into such Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or
supplements with the SEC promptly following the date on which the 1934 Act report is filed which created the requirement for the Company
to amend or supplement such Registration Statement.
B-8
(f) The
Company shall (A) permit Legal Counsel and legal counsel for each other Investor to review and comment upon (i) each Registration Statement
at least three (3) Business Days prior to its filing with the SEC and (ii) all amendments and supplements to each Registration Statement
(including, without limitation, the prospectus contained therein) (except for Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q,
Current Reports on Form 8-K, and any similar or successor reports) within a reasonable number of days prior to their filing with the SEC,
and (B) not file any Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto in a form to which Legal Counsel or any such legal counsel
for any other Investor reasonably objects. The Company shall not submit a request for acceleration of the effectiveness of a Registration
Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto or to any prospectus contained therein without the prior consent of Legal Counsel, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall promptly furnish to Legal Counsel and any such legal counsel for each other
Investor, without charge, (i) copies of any correspondence from the SEC or the Staff to the Company or its representatives relating to
each Registration Statement, provided that such correspondence shall not contain any material, non-public information regarding the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), (ii) after the same is prepared and filed with the
SEC, one (1) copy of each Registration Statement and any amendment(s) and supplement(s) thereto, including, without limitation, financial
statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by an Investor, and all exhibits and (iii) upon
the effectiveness of each Registration Statement, one (1) copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments
and supplements thereto. The Company shall reasonably cooperate with Legal Counsel and any such legal counsel for each other Investor
in performing the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Section 3.
(g) If
requested by an Investor, the Company shall promptly furnish to such Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in any Registration
Statement, without charge, (i) after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, at least one (1) copy of each Registration Statement
and any amendment(s) and supplement(s) thereto, including, without limitation, financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated
therein by reference, if requested by an Investor, all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) upon the effectiveness of each Registration
Statement, ten (10) copies of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or
such other number of copies as such Investor may reasonably request from time to time) and (iii) such other documents, including, without
limitation, copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as such Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate
the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor.
(h) The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) register and qualify, unless an exemption from registration and qualification applies,
the resale by Investors of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue sky”
laws of all applicable jurisdictions in the United States, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including, without
limitation, post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness
thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications
in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the
Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or
as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this
Section 3(h), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process
in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify Legal Counsel, legal counsel for each other Investor and each Investor who
holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification
of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States
or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.
B-9
(i) The
Company shall notify Legal Counsel, legal counsel for each other Investor and each Investor in writing of the happening of any event,
as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration Statement,
as then in effect, may include an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that
in no event shall such notice contain any material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), and, subject
to Section 3(r), promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement and such prospectus contained therein
to correct such untrue statement or omission and deliver ten (10) copies of such supplement or amendment to Legal Counsel, any such legal
counsel for each other Investor and each Investor (or such other number of copies as Legal Counsel, any such legal counsel for each other
Investor or such Investor may reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly notify Legal Counsel, any such legal counsel for each
other Investor and each Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed,
when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered
to Legal Counsel, any such legal counsel for each other Investor and each Investor by e-mail on the same day of such effectiveness and
by overnight mail), and when the Company receives written notice from the SEC that a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment
will be reviewed by the SEC, (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus
or related information, (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement
would be appropriate; and (iv) of the receipt of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority for any additional
information relating to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto or any related prospectus. The Company shall
respond as promptly as practicable to any comments received from the SEC with respect to each Registration Statement or any amendment
thereto (it being understood and agreed that the Company’s response to any such comments shall be delivered to the SEC no later
than fifteen (15) Business Days after the receipt thereof).
(j) The
Company shall (i) use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of each
Registration Statement or the use of any prospectus contained therein, or the suspension of the qualification, or the loss of an exemption
from qualification, of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to
obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and (ii) notify Legal Counsel, any such legal counsel
for each other Investor and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or
its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.
B-10
(k) If
any Investor may be required under applicable securities law to be described in any Registration Statement as an underwriter and such
Investor consents to so being named an underwriter, at the request of any Investor, the Company shall furnish to such Investor, on the
date of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as an Investor may reasonably
request (i) a letter, dated such date, from the Company’s independent certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily
given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Investors, and
(ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Company for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form, scope
and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Investors.
(l) If
any Investor may be required under applicable securities law to be described in any Registration Statement as an underwriter and such
Investor consents to so being named an underwriter, upon the written request of such Investor, the Company shall make available for inspection
by (i) such Investor, (ii) legal counsel for such Investor and (iii) one (1) firm of accountants or other agents retained by such Investor
(collectively, the “Inspectors”), all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and
properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector,
and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably request;
provided, however, each Inspector shall agree in writing to hold in strict confidence and not to make any disclosure (except to such Investor)
or use of any Record or other information which the Company’s board of directors determines in good faith to be confidential, and
of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (1) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement
or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the 1933 Act, (2) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant
to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (3) the information in such
Records has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement). Such Investor agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such
Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company
and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for,
the Records deemed confidential. Nothing herein (or in any other confidentiality agreement between the Company and such Investor, if any)
shall be deemed to limit any Investor’s ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner which is otherwise consistent with applicable
laws and regulations.
(m) The
Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning an Investor provided to the Company unless (i)
disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is
necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required to be disclosed in such
Registration Statement pursuant to the 1933 Act, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final,
non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available
to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. The Company agrees that it shall,
upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning an Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent
jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to such Investor and allow such Investor, at such Investor’s expense,
to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.
B-11
(n) Without
limiting any obligation of the Company under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts either
to (i) cause all of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which
securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is
then permitted under the rules of such exchange, (ii) secure designation and quotation of all of the Registrable Securities covered
by each Registration Statement on an Eligible Market (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), or (iii) if, despite the Company’s
reasonable best efforts to satisfy the preceding clauses (i) or (ii) the Company is unsuccessful in satisfying the preceding clauses
(i) or (ii), without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for at least two market makers
to register with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) as such with respect to such Registrable Securities.
In addition, the Company shall cooperate with each Investor and any broker or dealer through which any such Investor proposes to sell
its Registrable Securities in effecting a filing with FINRA pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110 as requested by such Investor. The Company shall
pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section 3(m).
(o) The
Company shall cooperate with the Investors who hold Registrable Securities being offered and, to the extent applicable, facilitate the
timely preparation and delivery of certificates (to the extent such legend is not required in accordance with Section 5(d) of the Securities
Purchase Agreement) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such certificates
to be in such denominations or amounts (as the case may be) as the Investors may reasonably request from time to time and registered in
such names as the Investors may request.
(p) If
requested by an Investor, the Company shall as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of notice from such Investor and subject to
Section 3(r) hereof, (i) incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as an Investor reasonably
requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information
with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms
of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement
or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;
and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement or prospectus contained therein if reasonably requested by an Investor
holding any Registrable Securities.
(q) Subject
to Section 3(h) of this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by a
Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate
the disposition of such Registrable Securities.
B-12
(r) The
Company shall make generally available to its security holders as soon as practical, but not later than ninety (90) calendar days after
the close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying with, and in the manner provided by, the provisions
of Rule 158 under the 1933 Act) covering a twelve-month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company’s fiscal
quarter next following the applicable Effective Date of each Registration Statement.
(s) The
Company shall otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with
any registration hereunder.
(t) Within
one (1) Business Day after a Registration Statement which covers Registrable Securities is declared effective by the SEC, the Company
shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies
to the Investors whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement) confirmation that such Registration Statement
has been declared effective by the SEC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
(u) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein (but subject to the last sentence of this Section 3(r)), at any time after the Effective Date of
a particular Registration Statement, the Company may delay the disclosure of material, non-public information concerning the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the board of directors of the Company,
in the best interest of the Company and, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, otherwise required (a “Grace Period”),
provided that the Company shall promptly notify the Investors in writing of the (i) existence of material, non-public information giving
rise to a Grace Period (provided that in each such notice the Company shall not disclose the content of such material, non-public information
to any of the Investors) and the date on which such Grace Period will begin and (ii) date on which such Grace Period ends, provided
further that (I) no Grace Period shall exceed twenty (20) consecutive calendar days and during any three hundred sixty five (365) day
period all such Grace Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of fourty-five (45) calendar days, (II) the first day of any Grace Period
must be at least five (5) Trading Days after the last day of any prior Grace Period and (III) no Grace Period may exist during the
forty-five (45) Trading Day period immediately following the Effective Date of such Registration Statement (provided that such forty five
(45) Trading Day period shall be extended by the number of Trading Days during such period and any extension thereof contemplated by this
proviso during which such Registration Statement is not effective or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use) (each,
an “Allowable Grace Period”). For purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period above, such Grace Period shall
begin on and include the date the Investors receive the notice referred to in clause (i) above and shall end on and include the later
of the date the Investors receive the notice referred to in clause (ii) above and the date referred to in such notice. The provisions
of Section 3(g) hereof shall not be applicable during the period of any Allowable Grace Period. Upon expiration of each Grace Period,
the Company shall again be bound by the first sentence of Section 3(f) with respect to the information giving rise thereto unless
such material, non-public information is no longer applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3(r),
the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with
the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which such Investor
has entered into a contract for sale, and delivered a copy of the prospectus included as part of the particular Registration Statement
to the extent applicable, prior to such Investor’s receipt of the notice of a Grace Period and for which the Investor has not yet
settled.
B-13
(v) The
Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by each Investors of its Registrable
Securities pursuant to each Registration Statement.
(w) Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof shall identify any Investor as an underwriter in any public disclosure or filing with
the SEC, the Principal Market or any Eligible Market and any Buyer being deemed an underwriter by the SEC shall not relieve the Company
of any obligations it has under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement); provided,
however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Company from including the disclosure found in the “Plan of Distribution”
section attached hereto as Exhibit B in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after the required reduction of
the number of shares of Common Stock to be included in a Registration Statement to comply with Rule 415 of the 1933 Act, the SEC still
insists that a Buyer be named as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement and such Buyer refuses to be named as an
“underwriter” in such Registration Statement, no Registration Delay Payments shall accrue hereunder with respect to such Buyer.
(x) Neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on or after
the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of impairing the rights
granted to the Buyers in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.
4. Obligations
of the Investors.
(a) At
least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of each Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each
Investor in writing of the information the Company requires from each such Investor with respect to such Registration Statement. It shall
be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the
Registrable Securities of a particular Investor that such Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the
Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it, as shall be reasonably
required to effect and maintain the effectiveness of the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents
in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.
(b) Each
Investor, by such Investor’s acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested
by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of each Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified
the Company in writing of such Investor’s election to exclude all of such Investor’s Registrable Securities from such Registration
Statement.
(c) Each
Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(g)
or the first sentence of 3(f), such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration
Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until such Investor’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus
contemplated by Section 3(g) or the first sentence of Section 3(f) or receipt of notice that no supplement or amendment is required.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(c), the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares
of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement in connection with any
sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which such Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s
receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(g) or the first sentence of
Section 3(f) and for which such Investor has not yet settled.
B-14
5. Expenses
of Registration.
All reasonable expenses, other
than underwriting discounts and commissions and brokerage fees, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant
to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees,
FINRA filing fees (if any) and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be paid by the Company. The Company shall reimburse
Legal Counsel for its fees and disbursements in connection with registration, filing or qualification pursuant to Sections 2 and
3 of this Agreement which amount shall be limited to $10,000 for each such registration, filing or qualification.
6. Indemnification.
(a) To
the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Investor and each of
its directors, officers, stockholders, members, partners, employees, agents, advisors, representatives (and any other Persons with a functionally
equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title) and each Person, if any, who
controls such Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act and each of the directors, officers, stockholders, members,
partners, employees, agents, advisors, representatives (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding
such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling Persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”),
against any losses, obligations, claims, damages, liabilities, contingencies, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs (including,
without limitation, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of defense and investigation), amounts paid in settlement
or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”) incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action,
claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative
or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an Indemnified Person is or may be a party
thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings,
whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification
of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered
(“Blue Sky Filing”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus
(as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged
omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the
statements therein were made, not misleading or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act,
any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or
sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or (iv) any violation of this Agreement (the matters in the foregoing
clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, “Violations”). Subject to Section 6(c), the Company shall reimburse
the Indemnified Persons, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out
of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or
on behalf of such Indemnified Person for such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of such Registration
Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to
Section 3(d); and (ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written
consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect
regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of any of the Registrable
Securities by any of the Investors pursuant to Section 9.
B-15
(b) In
connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is participating, such Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify,
hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors,
each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the
1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them
may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based
upon any Violation, in each case, to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity
with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration
Statement; and, subject to Section 6(c) and the below provisos in this Section 6(b), such Investor will reimburse an Indemnified
Party any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such
Claim; provided, however, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained
in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written
consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided further that such Investor shall be liable
under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor
as a result of the applicable sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full
force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of any
of the Registrable Securities by any of the Investors pursuant to Section 9.
B-16
(c) Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement
of any action or proceeding (including, without limitation, any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified
Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under
this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall
have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly
noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person
or the Indemnified Party (as the case may be); provided, however, an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) shall
have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the indemnifying party if: (i) the indemnifying
party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense
of such Claim and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) in any
such Claim; or (iii) the named parties to any such Claim (including, without limitation, any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified
Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) and the indemnifying party, and such Indemnified Person or such Indemnified Party (as
the case may be) shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent
such Indemnified Person or such Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party (in which case, if such Indemnified Person or such Indemnified
Party (as the case may be) notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the
indemnifying party, then the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the
expense of the indemnifying party), provided further that in the case of clause (iii) above the indemnifying party shall not be responsible
for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one (1) separate legal counsel for such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as
the case may be). The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person (as the case may be) shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party
in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying
party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person (as the case may be) which relates to such action
or Claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person (as the case may be) reasonably apprised at all
times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any
settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, the indemnifying party shall
not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Person (as the case may be), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which
cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of
such settlement) or which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Person (as the case may be) of a release from all liability in respect to such Claim or litigation, and such settlement
shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnified Party. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder,
the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person (as the case may be) 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 indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party
of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) under this Section 6, except to the extent that
the indemnifying party is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
B-17
(d) The
indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation
or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.
(e) The
indemnity and contribution agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to
pursuant to the law.
7. Contribution.
To the extent any indemnification
by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect
to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however:
(i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards
set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement, (ii) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution
from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (iii) contribution
by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the amount of net proceeds received by such seller from the applicable
sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no
Investor shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received
by such Investor from the applicable sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Claim exceeds the amount of any damages that such
Investor has otherwise been required to pay, or would otherwise be required to pay under Section 6(b), by reason of such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
8. Reports
Under the 1934 Act.
So long as any Investor owns
any Notes and/or Registrable Securities and/or any BC Securities (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) (or, if later, the
Additional Closing Expiration Date as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)) and with a view to making available to such Investors
the benefits of Rule 144, the Company agrees to:
(a) make
and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
(b) file
with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so long as
the Company remains subject to such requirements (it being understood and agreed that nothing herein shall limit any obligations of the
Company under the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions
of Rule 144; and
B-18
(c) furnish
to each Investor so long as such Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company,
if true, that it has complied with the reporting, submission and posting requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, (ii)
a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company with
the SEC if such reports are not publicly available via EDGAR, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to
permit the Investors to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.
9. Assignment
of Registration Rights.
All or any portion of the
rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by each Investor to any transferee or assignee (as the case may be) of all
or any portion of such Investor’s Registrable Securities or Notes (other than any transferee or assignee upon a registered offering
or sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144) if: (i) such Investor agrees in writing with such transferee or assignee (as the
case may be) to assign all or any portion of such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable
time after such transfer or assignment (as the case may be); (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment
(as the case may be), furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee (as the case may be), and
(b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned (as the case may be); (iii) immediately
following such transfer or assignment (as the case may be) the further disposition of such securities by such transferee or assignee (as
the case may be) is restricted under the 1933 Act or applicable state securities laws if so required; (iv) at or before the time the Company
receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence such transferee or assignee (as the case may be) agrees in writing
with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein; (v) such transfer or assignment (as the case may be) shall have
been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Notes (as the case may be); and
(vi) such transfer or assignment (as the case may be) shall have been conducted in accordance with all applicable federal and state securities
laws (any such transferee or assignee, a “Permitted Transferee”.
10. Amendment
of Registration Rights.
Provisions of this Agreement
may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively),
only with the written consent of the Company and the Required Holders; provided that any such amendment or waiver that complies with the
foregoing, but that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the rights and obligations of any Investor relative to the comparable
rights and obligations of the other Investors shall require the prior written consent of such adversely affected Investor. Any amendment
or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company, provided that no such amendment
shall be effective to the extent that it (1) applies to less than all of the holders of Registrable Securities or (2) imposes any obligation
or liability on any Investor without such Investor’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Investor’s
sole discretion). No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.
No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement
unless the same consideration (other than the reimbursement of legal fees) also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.
B-19
11. Termination.
This Agreement shall terminate
upon the date after the Additional Closing Expiration Date (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) after which no Investor or
any Permitted Transferee holds any Registrable Securities or Notes.
12. Miscellaneous.
(a) Solely
for purposes of this Agreement, a Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns, or is deemed to
own, of record such Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons
with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from
such record owner of such Registrable Securities.
(b) Any
notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing
and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by electronic mail

receive an automatically generated message from the recipient’s email server that such e-mail could not be delivered to such recipient);

that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware. Each party hereby irrevocably submits
to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in Wilmington, Delaware for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder
or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not
to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such
suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each
party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding
by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall
constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any
right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. 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 IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
(e) 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).
(f) This
Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein
and therein constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto and thereto solely with respect to the subject matter hereof and
thereof. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein and therein.
This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced
herein and therein supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the parties hereto solely with respect to the subject matter
hereof and thereof; 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 Investor has entered into with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the date
hereof with respect to any prior investment made by such Investor in the Company, (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 Investor 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 Investor and all such agreements
shall continue in full force and effect or (iii) limit any obligations of the Company under any of the other Transaction Documents.
B-22
(g) Subject
to compliance with Section 9 (if applicable), this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the permitted successors
and assigns of each of the parties hereto. This Agreement is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any
Person, other than the parties hereto, their respective permitted successors and assigns and the Persons referred to in Sections 6
and 7 hereof.
(h) The
headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. 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.
(i) This
Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but 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 email 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.
(j) 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) 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10, terms used in
this Agreement but defined in the other Transaction Documents shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms on the Initial Closing Date
in such other Transaction Documents unless otherwise consented to in writing by each Investor.
(l) All
consents and other determinations required to be made by the Investors pursuant to this Agreement shall be made, unless otherwise specified
in this Agreement, by the Required Holders, determined as if all of the outstanding Notes then held by the Investors have been converted
for Registrable Securities without regard to any limitations on redemption, amortization and/or conversion of the Notes then held by Investors.
B-23
(m) 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.
(n) The
obligations of each Investor under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of
any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor under
this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by
any Investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as, and the Company acknowledges that the Investors
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 Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents or any matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Investors 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 this Agreement or
any of the other the Transaction Documents. Each Investor 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 Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement with respect
to the obligations of the Company contained herein was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of any Investor,
and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Investor. It is expressly
understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and
an Investor, solely, and not between the Company and the Investors collectively and not between and among Investors.

Re: [ ] (f/k/a Bluerock
Acquisition Corp.)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
[We are][I am] counsel to [
] (f/k/a Bluerock Acquisition Corp.), a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and have represented the Company in connection
with that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) entered into by and among the
Company and the buyers named therein (collectively, the “Holders”) pursuant to which the Company issued to the Holders
senior secured convertible notes (the “Notes”) convertible into the Company’s shares of common stock, $[ ] par
value per share (the “Common Stock”). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into
a Registration Rights Agreement with the Holders (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company
agreed, among other things, to register the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), including the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”).
In connection with the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, on ____________ ___, 20__, the Company filed
a Registration Statement on Form [S-1][S-3] (File No. 333-_____________) (the “Registration Statement”) with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the Registrable Securities which names each of the Holders
as a selling stockholder thereunder.
In connection with the foregoing,
[we][I] advise you that [a member of the SEC’s staff has advised [us][me] by telephone that [the SEC has entered an order declaring
the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS]] [an order declaring
the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS]] has been posted
on the web site of the SEC at www.sec.gov] and [we][I] have no knowledge, after a review of information posted on the website of the SEC
at http://www.sec.gov/litigation/stoporders.shtml, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings
for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Registrable Securities are available for resale under the 1933
Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.
Based on the foregoing, [we][I]
advise you that, as of the date hereof, the shares of Common Stock underlying the Notes are freely transferable by the Holders pursuant
to the Registration Statement, subject to the continued effectiveness of the Registration Statement and compliance with the prospectus
delivery requirements of the 1933 Act. This letter speaks only as of the date hereof, and [we][I] assume no obligation to update or supplement
this letter to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to [our][my] attention or any changes in law that may hereafter
occur. This letter is limited to the matters expressly set forth herein, and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters
expressly stated.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The shares of common stock
being offered by the selling stockholders are those issuable to the selling stockholders upon conversion of the notes. For additional
information regarding the issuance of the notes, see “Private Placement of Notes” above. We are registering the shares of
common stock in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of
the notes issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and except as otherwise disclosed below, the selling stockholders have
not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.
The table below lists the
selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder) of the shares of common stock held by each of the selling stockholders.
The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders, based on their respective
ownership of shares of common stock and notes, as of ________, 20__, assuming conversion of the notes held by each such selling stockholder
on that date but taking account of any limitations on conversion set forth therein.
The third column lists the
shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders and does not take in account any limitations on conversion
of the notes set forth therein.
In accordance with the terms
of a registration rights agreement with the holders of the notes, this prospectus generally covers the resale of 100% of the maximum number
of shares of common stock issued or issuable pursuant to the Notes (assuming for purposes hereof that all additional notes issuable pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreement shall have been issued as of such time of determination), including payment of interest on the notes
through [DATE], determined as if the outstanding notes (including interest on the notes through [DATE]) were converted in full (without
regard to any limitations on conversion contained therein solely for the purpose of such calculation) at the floor price in effect on
the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC. Because the conversion price and floor price of the notes may be
adjusted, the number of shares that will actually be issued may be more or less than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus.
The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.
Under the terms of the notes,
a selling stockholder may not convert the notes to the extent (but only to the extent) such selling stockholder or any of its affiliates
would beneficially own a number of shares of our common stock which would exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company. The number
of shares in the second column reflects these limitations. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this
offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering the shares
of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes to permit the resale of these shares of common stock by the holders of the notes
from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders
of the shares of common stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock.
The selling stockholders may
sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock held by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more
underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders
will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The shares of common stock may be sold in
one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time
of sale or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions, pursuant
to one or more of the following methods:
● on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted
at the time of sale;
● in the over-the-counter market;
● in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;
● through the writing or settlement of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or
otherwise;
● ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
● block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and
resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
● purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
● an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
● privately negotiated transactions;
● short sales made after the date the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC;
● broker-dealers may agree with a selling security holder to sell a specified number of such shares at a
stipulated price per share;
● a combination of any such methods of sale; and
● any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
B-31
The selling stockholders may
also sell shares of common stock under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if available, rather than
under this prospectus. In addition, the selling stockholders may transfer the shares of common stock by other means not described in this
prospectus. If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers
or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from
the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may
sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess
of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the selling
stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common
stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver
shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short
sales. The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.
The selling stockholders may
pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the notes or shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance
of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant
to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending,
if necessary, the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders
under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which
case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
To the extent required by
the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, the selling stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution
of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission
paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under
the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will
be distributed, which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including
the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling
stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to broker-dealers.
Under the securities laws
of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition,
in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state
or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
B-32
There can be no assurance
that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement, of
which this prospectus forms a part.
The selling stockholders and
any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, Regulation M of the Exchange
Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders and any other
participating person. To the extent applicable, Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of
the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may
affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with
respect to the shares of common stock.
We will pay all expenses of
the registration of the shares of common stock pursuant to the registration rights agreement, estimated to be $[ ]
in total, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities
or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, a selling stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions,
if any. We will indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act in accordance
with the registration rights agreements or the selling stockholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the selling
stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act that may arise from any written information furnished
to us by the selling stockholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreements
or we may be entitled to contribution.
Once
sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the
hands of persons other than our affiliates.

Grantor would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of Section 2(g)(i), and the obligations of the Collateral
Agent under Section 2(g)(ii) shall be reinstated.

without suspending all such rights (as specified by the Collateral Agent in its sole and absolute discretion) and without waiving or otherwise
affecting the Collateral Agent’s rights to give additional notices from time to time suspending other rights so long as an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Grantor owns and controls, or otherwise possesses adequate rights to use, all of its Intellectual Property, which is the only Intellectual
Property necessary to conduct its business in substantially the same manner as conducted as of the date hereof. Schedule II hereto
sets forth a true and complete list of all Intellectual Property and Licenses owned or used by each Grantor as of the date hereof, and
applications for grant or registration of Intellectual Property. To the knowledge of each Grantor, all such Intellectual Property of such
Grantor is subsisting and in full force and effect, has not been adjudged invalid or unenforceable, is valid and enforceable and has not
been abandoned in whole or in part. Except as set forth in Schedule II, no such Intellectual Property is the subject of any licensing
or franchising agreement. Except as set forth in Schedule II, no Grantor has any knowledge of any infringement upon or conflict
with the Patent, Trademark, Copyright, trade secret rights of others and, each Grantor is not now infringing or in conflict with any Patent,
Trademark, Copyright, trade secret or similar rights of others, and to the knowledge of each Grantor, no other Person is now infringing
or in conflict in any material respect with any such properties, assets and rights owned or used by each Grantor. No Grantor has received
any notice that it is violating or has violated the Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights, inventions, trade secrets, proprietary information
and technology, know-how, formulae, rights of publicity or other intellectual property rights of any third party.
C-13
(h) Each
Grantor is and will be at all times the sole and exclusive owner of the Collateral in which such Grantor has granted a Lien and security
interest hereunder free and clear of any Liens, except for (i) Permitted Liens thereon and (ii) certain Intellectual Property rights of
the Company which is jointly owned by the Company with certain third parties as described in Schedule II hereto. No effective financing
statement or other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file in any recording or filing office
except such as (i) may have been filed in favor of the Collateral Agent and/or the Noteholders relating to this Agreement or the other
Transaction Documents, or (ii) are intended to perfect Permitted Liens existing as of the date hereof and disclosed on Schedule VII
hereto.
(i) The
exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of its rights and remedies hereunder will not contravene any law or any contractual restriction
binding on or otherwise affecting any Grantor or any of its properties and will not result in or require the creation of any Lien, upon
or with respect to any of its properties other than as granted pursuant to this Agreement.
(j) No
authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority, is required for (i) the grant
by each Grantor, or the perfection, of the Lien and security interest purported to be created hereby in the Collateral, or (ii) the exercise
by the Collateral Agent of any of its rights and remedies hereunder, except for (A) the filing under the Code as in effect in the applicable
jurisdiction of the financing statements described in Schedule V hereto, all of which financing statements have been duly filed
and are in full force and effect, (B) with respect to all Pledged Accounts, and all cash and other property from time to time deposited
therein, the execution of a Controlled Account Agreement with the depository or other institution with which the applicable Pledged Accounts
are maintained, as provided in Section 6(i), (C) with respect to Commodity Contracts, the execution of a control agreement with
the commodity intermediary with which such Commodity Contract is carried, as provided in Section 6(i), (D) with respect to the
perfection of the security interest created hereby in the United States Intellectual Property and Licenses, the recording of the appropriate
Intellectual Property Security Agreement in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable,
(E) with respect to the perfection of the security interest created hereby in foreign Intellectual Property and Licenses, registrations
and filings in jurisdictions located outside of the United States and covering rights in such jurisdictions relating to such foreign Intellectual
Property and Licenses, (F) with respect to the perfection of the security interest created hereby in any Letter-of-Credit Rights, the
consent of the issuer of the applicable letter of credit to the assignment of proceeds as provided in the Code as in effect in the applicable
jurisdiction, (G) with respect to Investment Property constituting uncertificated securities, the applicable Grantor causing the issuer
thereof either (i) to register the Collateral Agent as the registered owner of such securities or (ii) to agree in an authenticated record
with such Grantor and the Collateral Agent that such issuer will comply with instructions with respect to such securities originated by
the Collateral Agent without further consent of such Grantor, such authenticated record to be in form and substance satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent, (H) with respect to Investment Property constituting certificated securities or instruments, such items to be delivered
to and held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent pursuant hereto in suitable form for transfer by delivery or accompanied by duly executed
instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, (I) with respect to any
action that may be necessary to obtain control of Collateral constituting Commodity Contracts, Electronic Chattel Paper or Letter of Credit
Rights, the taking of such actions, and (J) the Collateral Agent having possession of all Documents, Chattel Paper, Instruments and cash
constituting Collateral (subclauses (A) through (J) each a “Perfection Requirement” and collectively, the “Perfection
Requirements”).
(k) This
Agreement creates in favor of the Collateral Agent a legal, valid and enforceable Lien on and security interest in the Collateral, as
security for the Obligations. The performance of the Perfection Requirements results in the perfection of such Lien on and security interest
in the Collateral. Such Lien and security interest is (or in the case of Collateral in which any Grantor obtains any right, title or interest
after the date hereof, will be), subject only to Permitted Liens and the Perfection Requirements, a first priority, valid, enforceable
and perfected Lien on and security interest in all personal property of each Grantor. Such recordings and filings and all other action
necessary to perfect and protect such Lien and security interest have been duly taken (and, in the case of Collateral in which any Grantor
obtains right, title or interest after the date hereof, will be duly taken), except for the Collateral Agent’s having possession
of all Documents, Chattel Paper, Instruments and cash constituting Collateral after the date hereof and the other actions, filings and
recordations described above, including the Perfection Requirements.
C-14
(l) As
of the date hereof, no Grantor holds any Commercial Tort Claims or has knowledge of any pending Commercial Tort Claims, except for the
Commercial Tort Claims described in Schedule VI.
(m) All
of the Pledged Equity is presently owned by the applicable Grantor as set forth in Schedule IV free and clear of all Liens other
than Permitted Liens, and is presently represented by the certificates listed on Schedule IV hereto (if applicable). As of the
date hereof, there are no existing options, warrants, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to the Pledged Equity
other than as contemplated and permitted by the Transaction Documents. Each Grantor is the sole holder of record and the sole beneficial
owner of the Pledged Equity, as applicable. None of the Pledged Equity has been issued or transferred in violation of the securities registration,
securities disclosure or similar laws of any jurisdiction to which such issuance or transfer may be subject. The Pledged Equity constitutes
100% or such other percentage as set forth on Schedule IV of the issued and outstanding shares of Capital Stock of the applicable
Pledged Entity. All of the Pledged Equity has been duly and validly authorized and issued by the issuer thereof and in the case of Pledged
Equity (other than Pledged Equity consisting of limited liability company interests or partnership interests which, pursuant to the relevant
organizational or formation documents, cannot be fully paid and non-assessable), is fully paid and non-assessable.
(n) Such
Grantor (i) is a corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership, as applicable, duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, organization or formation, (ii) has all requisite corporate, limited
liability company or limited partnership power and authority to conduct its business as now conducted and as presently contemplated and
to execute and deliver this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which such Grantor is a party, and to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby and (iii) is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character
of the properties owned or leased by it or in which the transaction of its business makes such qualification necessary, except where the
failure to be so qualified would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(o) The
execution, delivery and performance by each Grantor of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which such Grantor is a party
(i) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company or limited partnership action, (ii) do not and will
not contravene its charter or by-laws, limited liability company or operating agreement, certificate of partnership or partnership agreement,
as applicable, or any applicable law or any contractual restriction binding on such Grantor or its properties, (iii) do not and will not
result in or require the creation of any Lien (other than pursuant to any Transaction Document) upon or with respect to any of its assets
or properties, and (iv) do not and will not result in any default, noncompliance, suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal
of any material permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to it or its operations or any of its assets or properties.
(p) This
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Grantor and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Grantor, enforceable
against such Grantor in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
fraudulent conveyance, suretyship or other similar laws and equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity
or at law). Each of the other Transaction Documents to which any Grantor is or will be a party, when duly executed and delivered by such
Grantor, will be the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Grantor, enforceable against such Grantor in accordance with its terms,
except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, suretyship or other
similar laws and equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).
C-15
(q) There
are no conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement that have not been satisfied or waived.
SECTION 6. Covenants
as to the Collateral. Until all of the Obligations shall have been fully performed and Paid in Full, unless the Collateral Agent shall
otherwise consent in writing (in its sole and absolute discretion):
(a) Further
Assurances. Each Grantor will, at its expense, at any time and from time to time, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments
and documents and take all further action that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order to: (i) perfect and protect the Lien
and security interest of the Collateral Agent created hereby; (ii) enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and
remedies hereunder in respect of the Collateral, including, without limitation, the Controlled Accounts; or (iii) otherwise effect the
purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation: (A) marking conspicuously all Chattel Paper and each License and, at the request
of the Collateral Agent, each of its Records pertaining to the Collateral with a legend, in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent, indicating that such Chattel Paper, License or Collateral is subject to the Lien and security interest created hereby, (B) delivering
and pledging to the Collateral Agent each Promissory Note, Security (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3), Chattel
Paper or other Instrument, now or hereafter owned by any Grantor, duly endorsed and accompanied by executed instruments of transfer or
assignment, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, (C) executing and filing (to the extent, if any, that any
Grantor’s signature is required thereon) or authenticating the filing of, such financing or continuation statements, or amendments
thereto, as may be necessary or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order to perfect and preserve the security interest
created hereby, (D) furnishing to the Collateral Agent from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the
Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral in each case as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all in
reasonable detail, (E) if any Collateral shall be in the possession of a third party, notifying such Person of the Collateral Agent’s
security interest created hereby and obtaining a written acknowledgment from such Person, in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent, that such Person holds possession of the Collateral for the benefit of the Collateral Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Collateral
Agent and the Noteholders), (F) if at any time after the date hereof, any Grantor acquires or holds any Commercial Tort Claim, promptly
notifying the Collateral Agent in a writing signed by such Grantor setting forth a brief description of such Commercial Tort Claim and
granting to the Collateral Agent a Lien and security interest therein and in the Proceeds thereof, which writing shall incorporate the
provisions hereof and shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, (G) upon the acquisition after the date hereof
by any Grantor of any motor vehicle or other Equipment subject to a certificate of title or ownership (other than a motor vehicle or Equipment
that is subject to a purchase money security interest), causing the Collateral Agent to be listed as the lienholder on such certificate
of title or ownership and delivering evidence of the same to the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 6(j) hereof; and (H)
taking all actions required by the Code or by other law, as applicable, in any relevant Code jurisdiction, or by other law as applicable
in any foreign jurisdiction.
(b) Location
of Collateral. Each Grantor will keep the Collateral (i) at the locations specified therefor on Schedule III hereto, or (ii)
at such other locations set forth on Schedule III and with respect to which the Collateral Agent has filed financing statements
and otherwise fully perfected its Liens thereon, or (iii) at such other locations in the United States, provided that thirty (30) days
prior to any change in the location of any Collateral to such other location, or upon the acquisition of any Collateral to be kept at
such other locations, the Grantors shall give the Collateral Agent written notice thereof and deliver to the Collateral Agent a new Schedule
III indicating such new locations and such other written statements and schedules as the Collateral Agent may require.
C-16
(c) Condition
of Equipment. Each Grantor will maintain or cause to be maintained and preserved in good condition, repair and working order, ordinary
wear and tear excepted, the Equipment (necessary or useful to its business) and will forthwith, or in the case of any loss or damage to
any Equipment of any Grantor within a commercially reasonable time after the occurrence thereof, make or cause to be made all repairs,
replacements and other improvements in connection therewith which are necessary or desirable, consistent with past practice, or which
the Collateral Agent may request to such end. Any Grantor will promptly furnish to the Collateral Agent a statement describing in reasonable
detail any such loss or damage in excess of $25,000 per occurrence to any Equipment.
(d) Taxes,
Etc. Each Grantor agrees to pay promptly when due all property and other taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed
upon, and all claims (including claims for labor, materials and supplies) against, the Equipment and Inventory, except to the extent the
validity thereof is being contested in good faith by proper proceedings which stay the imposition of any penalty, fine or Lien resulting
from the non-payment thereof and with respect to which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP have been set aside for the payment thereof.
(e) Insurance.
(i) Each
Grantor will, at its own expense, maintain insurance (including, without limitation, comprehensive general liability, hazard, rent and
business interruption insurance) with respect to its properties (including all real properties leased or owned by it) and business, in
such amounts and covering such risks, in such form and with responsible and reputable insurance companies or associations as is required
by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction with respect thereto or as is carried generally in accordance with sound business practice
by companies in similar businesses similarly situated and in any event, in amount, adequacy and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent.
(ii) To
the extent requested by the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time, each such policy for liability insurance shall provide
for all losses to be paid on behalf of the Collateral Agent and any Grantor as their respective interests may appear, and each policy
for property damage insurance shall provide for all losses to be adjusted with, and paid directly to, the Collateral Agent. In addition
to and without limiting the foregoing, to the extent requested by the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time, each such policy
shall in addition (A) name the Collateral Agent as an additional insured party and/or loss payee, as applicable, thereunder (without any
representation or warranty by or obligation upon the Collateral Agent) as its interests may appear, (B) contain an agreement by the insurer
that any loss thereunder shall be payable to the Collateral Agent on its own account notwithstanding any action, inaction or breach of
representation or warranty by any Grantor, (C) provide that there shall be no recourse against the Collateral Agent for payment of premiums
or other amounts with respect thereto, and (D) provide that at least 30 days’ prior written notice of cancellation, lapse, expiration
or other adverse change shall be given to the Collateral Agent by the insurer. Any Grantor will, if so requested by the Collateral Agent,
deliver to the Collateral Agent original or duplicate policies of such insurance (including certificates demonstrating compliance with
this Section 6(e)) and, as often as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, a report of a reputable insurance broker with
respect to such insurance. Any Grantor will also, at the request of the Collateral Agent, execute and deliver instruments of assignment
of such insurance policies and cause the respective insurers to acknowledge notice of such assignment.
C-17
(iii) Reimbursement
under any liability insurance maintained by any Grantor pursuant to this Section 6(e) may be paid directly to the Person who shall
have incurred liability covered by such insurance. In the case of any loss involving damage to Equipment or Inventory, to the extent paragraph
(iv) of this Section 6(e) is not applicable, any proceeds of insurance involving such damage shall be paid to the Collateral Agent,
and any Grantor will make or cause to be made the necessary repairs to or replacements of such Equipment or Inventory, and any proceeds
of insurance maintained by any Grantor pursuant to this Section 6(e) (except as otherwise provided in paragraph (iv) in this Section
6(e)) shall be paid by the Collateral Agent to any Grantor as reimbursement for the reasonable costs of such repairs or replacements.
(iv) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in subsection 6(e)(iii) above, following and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all insurance
payments in respect of each Grantor’s properties and business shall be paid to the Collateral Agent and applied as specified in
Section 8(b) hereof.
(f) Provisions
Concerning Name, Organization, Location, Accounts and Licenses.
(i) Each
Grantor will (A) give the Collateral Agent at least fifteen (15) Business Days’ prior written notice of any change in such Grantor’s
name, identity or organizational structure (or, in the case of a change resulting from a merger, acquisition, or reorganization that constitutes
or gives rise to an Event of Default, immediate notice), (B) maintain its jurisdiction of incorporation, organization or formation as
set forth in Schedule I hereto, (C) notify the Collateral Agent within fifteen (15) Business Days upon obtaining an organizational
identification number, if on the date hereof such Grantor did not have such identification number, (D) give the Collateral Agent written
notice within fifteen (15) Business Days of the opening of any new Deposit Account, Securities Account, or Commodity Account, and (E)
keep adequate records concerning the Collateral and permit representatives of the Collateral Agent during normal business hours on reasonable
notice to such Grantor, to inspect and make abstracts from such records.
(ii) Each
Grantor will (except as otherwise provided in this subsection (f)), continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become
due under the Accounts. In connection with such collections, any Grantor may (and, at the Collateral Agent’s direction, will) take
such action as any Grantor or the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection or performance of the Accounts;
provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default to notify the Account Debtors or obligors under any Accounts of the assignment of such Accounts to the Collateral
Agent and to direct such Account Debtors or obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to any Grantor thereunder directly
to the Collateral Agent or its designated agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of any Grantor and to the extent permitted
by applicable law, to enforce collection of any such Accounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the
same manner and to the same extent as any Grantor might have done. After receipt by any Grantor of a notice from the Collateral Agent
that the Collateral Agent has notified, intends to notify, or has enforced or intends to enforce any Grantor’s rights against the
Account Debtors or obligors under any Accounts as referred to in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, (A) all amounts and
proceeds (including, without limitation, Instruments) received by any Grantor in respect of the Accounts shall be received in trust for
the benefit of the Collateral Agent hereunder (for the ratable benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders), shall be segregated
from other funds of any Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary
endorsement) to be applied as specified in Section 8(b) hereof, and (B) no Grantor will adjust, settle or compromise the amount
or payment of any Account or release wholly or partly any Account Debtor or obligor thereof or allow any credit or discount thereon. In
addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion)
direct any or all of the banks and financial institutions with which any Grantor either maintains a Deposit Account or a lockbox (including,
without limitation, any Controlled Account) or deposits the proceeds of any Accounts to send immediately to the Collateral Agent by wire
transfer (to such deposit account as the Collateral Agent shall specify, or in such other manner as the Collateral Agent shall direct)
all or a portion of such Securities, cash, investments and other items held by such institution. Any such Securities, cash, investments
and other items so received by the Collateral Agent shall be applied as specified in accordance with Section 8(b) hereof.
C-18
(iii) Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any breach or default under any material License referred to in Schedule II hereto
by any party thereto other than any Grantor, each Grantor party thereto will, promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof, give the Collateral
Agent written notice of the nature and duration thereof, specifying what action, if any, it has taken and proposes to take with respect
thereto and thereafter will take reasonable steps to protect and preserve its rights and remedies in respect of such breach or default,
or will obtain or acquire an appropriate substitute License.
(iv) Each
Grantor will, at its expense, promptly deliver to the Collateral Agent a copy of each notice or other communication received by it by
which any other party to any material License referred to in Schedule II hereto purports to exercise any of its rights or affect
any of its obligations thereunder, together with a copy of any reply by such Grantor thereto.
(v) Each
Grantor will exercise promptly and diligently each and every right which it may have under each material License (other than any right
of termination) and will duly perform and observe in all respects all of its obligations under each material License and will take all
action necessary or reasonable to maintain such Licenses in full force and effect. No Grantor will, without the prior written consent
of the Collateral Agent (in its sole and absolute discretion), cancel, terminate, amend or otherwise modify in any material respect, or
waive any material provision of, any material License referred to in Schedule II hereto.
(g) Transfers
and Other Liens.
(i) Except
as otherwise expressly permitted in the other Transaction Documents, no Grantor shall, directly or indirectly, sell, lease, license, assign,
transfer, spin-off, split-off, close, convey or otherwise dispose of any Collateral whether in a single transaction or a series of related
transactions, other than (A) sales, leases, licenses, assignments, transfers, conveyances and other dispositions of such assets or rights
by such Grantor for fair value in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices and (B) sales of Inventory and product
in the ordinary course of business.
(ii) Except
as expressly provided in the Notes, no Grantor shall, directly or indirectly, redeem, repurchase or declare or pay any cash dividend or
distribution on any of its Capital Stock.
(iii) No
Grantor shall, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, (A) issue any Notes (other than as contemplated
by the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Notes) or (B) issue any other Securities that would cause a breach or default under the Notes.
(iv) No
Grantor shall enter into, renew, extend or be a party to, any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation,
the purchase, sale, lease, transfer or exchange of property or assets of any kind or the rendering of services of any kind) with any Affiliate,
except in the ordinary course 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 than would be obtainable in a comparable
arm’s length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate thereof.
(v) No
Grantor will create, suffer to exist or grant any Lien upon or with respect to any Collateral other than a Permitted Lien.
C-19
(h) Intellectual
Property.
(i) If
applicable, each Grantor shall duly execute and deliver the applicable Intellectual Property Security Agreement. Each Grantor (either
itself or through licensees) will, and will cause each licensee thereof to, take all action necessary to maintain all of the Intellectual
Property in full force and effect, including, without limitation, using the proper statutory notices, numbers and markings (relating to
patent, trademark and copyright rights) and using the Trademarks on each applicable trademark class of goods in order to so maintain the
Trademarks in full force and free from any claim of abandonment for non-use, and each Grantor will not (nor permit any licensee thereof
to) do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any Intellectual Property may become abandoned, cancelled or invalidated; provided,
however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Grantor shall have an obligation to use or to maintain
any Intellectual Property (A) that relates solely to any product or work, that is no longer necessary or material and has been, or is
in the process of being, discontinued, abandoned or terminated in the ordinary course of business and consistent with the exercise of
reasonable business judgment, (B) that is being replaced with Intellectual Property substantially similar to the Intellectual Property
that may be abandoned or otherwise become invalid, so long as the failure to use or maintain such Intellectual Property does not materially
adversely affect the validity of such replacement Intellectual Property and so long as such replacement Intellectual Property is subject
to the Lien created by this Agreement and does not have a material adverse effect on the business of any Grantor or (C) that is substantially
the same as other Intellectual Property that is in full force, so long the failure to use or maintain such Intellectual Property does
not materially adversely affect the validity of such replacement Intellectual Property and so long as such other Intellectual Property
is subject to the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement and does not have a material adverse effect on the business of
any Grantor. Each Grantor will cause to be taken all necessary steps in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office
and the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency in any other country or political subdivision thereof to maintain
each registration of the Intellectual Property and application for registration of Intellectual Property (other than the Intellectual
Property described in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence), including, without limitation, filing of renewals, affidavits
of use, affidavits of incontestability and opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings and payment of maintenance fees, filing
fees, taxes or other governmental charges or fees. If any Intellectual Property (other than Intellectual Property described in the proviso
to the second sentence of subsection (i) of this clause (h)) is infringed, misappropriated, diluted or otherwise violated in any material
respect by a third party, each Grantor shall (x) upon learning of such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation, promptly
notify the Collateral Agent and (y) promptly sue for infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation, seek injunctive relief
where appropriate and recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation, or take such other
actions as such Grantor shall deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property. Each Grantor shall furnish
to the Collateral Agent from time to time upon its request statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Intellectual
Property and Licenses and such other reports in connection with the Intellectual Property and Licenses as the Collateral Agent may reasonably
request, all in reasonable detail and promptly upon request of the Collateral Agent, following receipt by the Collateral Agent of any
such statements, schedules or reports, each Grantor shall modify this Agreement by amending Schedule II hereto, as the case may
be, to include any Intellectual Property and License, as the case may be, which is or hereafter becomes part of the Collateral under this
Agreement and shall execute and authenticate such documents and do such acts as shall be necessary or, in the reasonable judgment of the
Collateral Agent, desirable to subject such Intellectual Property and Licenses to the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no Grantor may
abandon, surrender or cancel or otherwise permit any Intellectual Property to become abandoned, surrendered, cancelled or invalid without
the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent (in its sole and absolute discretion), and if any Intellectual Property is infringed,
misappropriated, diluted or otherwise violated in any material respect by a third party, each Grantor will take such reasonable action
as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property.
C-20
(ii) In
no event shall any Grantor, either itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, file an application for the registration
of any Patent, Trademark or Copyright with the United States Copyright Office or the United States Patent and Trademark Office, as applicable,
or in any similar office or agency of the United States or any country or any political subdivision thereof unless it gives the Collateral
Agent prompt written notice thereof (which notice may be given after filing). Upon request of the Collateral Agent, any Grantor shall
execute, authenticate and deliver any and all assignments, agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may reasonably
request to evidence the Collateral Agent’s security interest hereunder in such Intellectual Property and the General Intangibles
of any Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby, and each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent its attorney-in-fact to
execute and/or authenticate and file all such writings for the foregoing purposes, all acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and
confirmed, and such power (being coupled with an interest) shall be irrevocable until all Obligations are fully performed and Paid in
Full.
(i) Pledged
Accounts. Subject to the deadlines set forth in Section 6(n)(i) below, each Grantor shall cause each bank and other financial
institution which maintains a Controlled Account (each a “Controlled Account Bank”) to execute and deliver to the Collateral
Agent, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, a Controlled Account Agreement with respect to such Controlled
Account, duly executed by each Grantor and such Controlled Account Bank, pursuant to which such Controlled Account Bank among other things
shall irrevocably agree, with respect to such Controlled Account, that (i) at any time after any Grantor, the Collateral Agent or any
Noteholder shall have notified such Controlled Account Bank that an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, such Controlled Account
Bank will comply with any and all instructions originated by the Collateral Agent directing the disposition of the funds in such Controlled
Account without further consent by such Grantor, (ii) such Controlled Account Bank shall waive, subordinate or agree not to exercise any
rights of setoff or recoupment or any other claim against the applicable Controlled Account other than for payment of its service fees
and other charges directly related to the administration of such Controlled Account and for returned checks or other items of payment,
(iii) at any time after any Grantor, the Collateral Agent or any Noteholder shall have notified such Controlled Account Bank that an Event
of Default has occurred or is continuing, with respect to each such Controlled Account, such Controlled Account Bank shall not comply
with any instructions, directions or orders of any form with respect to such Controlled Accounts other than instructions, directions or
orders originated by the Collateral Agent, (iv) all funds deposited by any Grantor with such Controlled Account Bank shall be subject
to a perfected, first priority security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, and (v) upon receipt of written notice from the Collateral
Agent during the continuance of an Event of Default such Controlled Account Bank shall immediately send to the Collateral Agent by wire
transfer (to such account as the Collateral Agent shall specify, or in such other manner as the Collateral Agent shall direct) all such
funds and other items held by it. No Grantor shall create or maintain any Pledged Account without the prior written consent of the Collateral
Agent (in its sole and absolute discretion) and complying with the terms of this Agreement.
(j) Reserved.
(k) Control.
Each Grantor hereby agrees to take any or all action that may be necessary or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order
for the Collateral Agent to obtain “control” in accordance with Sections 9-105 through 9-107 of the Code with respect to the
following Collateral: (i) Electronic Chattel Paper, (ii) Investment Property, and (iii) Letter-of-Credit Rights.
C-21
(l) Inspection
and Reporting. Each Grantor shall permit the Collateral Agent, or any agent or representatives thereof or such attorneys, accountant
or other professionals or other Persons as the Collateral Agent may designate (at Grantors’ sole cost and expense; provided that,
Grantors’ shall not be responsible for the costs of more than two (2) inspections in any calendar year unless an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing) (i) to examine and make copies of and abstracts from any Grantor’s Records and books of account,
(ii) to visit and inspect its properties, (iii) to verify materials, leases, Instruments, Accounts, Inventory and other assets of any
Grantor from time to time, and (iv) to conduct audits, physical counts, appraisals, valuations and/or examinations at the locations of
any Grantor. Each Grantor shall also permit the Collateral Agent, or any agent or representatives thereof or such attorneys, accountants
or other professionals or other Persons as the Collateral Agent may designate to discuss such Grantor’s affairs, finances and accounts
with any of its directors, officers, managerial employees, attorneys, independent accountants or any of its other representatives. Without
limiting the foregoing, the Collateral Agent may, at any time, in the Collateral Agent’s own name, in the name of a nominee of the
Collateral Agent, or in the name of any Grantor communicate (by mail, telephone, facsimile or otherwise) with the Account Debtors of such
Grantor, parties to contracts with such Grantor and/or obligors in respect of Instruments or Pledged Debt of such Grantor to verify with
such Persons, to the Collateral Agent’s satisfaction, the existence, amount, terms of, and any other matter relating to, Accounts,
Instruments, Pledged Debt, Chattel Paper, payment intangibles and/or other receivables.
(m) Future
Subsidiaries. If any Grantor hereafter creates or acquires any Subsidiary, simultaneously with the creation or acquisition of such
Subsidiary, such Grantor shall (i) if such Subsidiary is a Domestic Subsidiary, cause such Subsidiary to become a party to this Agreement
as an additional “Grantor” hereunder, (ii) deliver to the Collateral Agent updated Schedules to this Agreement, as appropriate
(including, without limitation, an updated Schedule IV to reflect the grant by such Grantor of a Lien on and security interest
in all Pledged Debt and Pledged Equity now or hereafter owned by such Grantor), (iii) if such Subsidiary is a Domestic Subsidiary, cause
such Subsidiary to duly execute and deliver a guaranty of the Obligations in favor of the Collateral Agent, substantially in the form
of the Guaranty attached as Exhibit D to the Securities Purchase Agreement, in form and substance acceptable to the Collateral Agent,
(iv) deliver to the Collateral Agent the stock certificates representing all of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary required to be pledged
hereunder, along with undated stock powers for each such certificate, executed in blank (or, in either case, if any such shares of Capital
Stock are uncertificated, confirmation and evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent that the security interest in such
uncertificated securities has been transferred to and perfected by the Collateral Agent, in accordance with Sections 8-313, 8-321 and
9-115 of the Code or any other similar or local or foreign law that may be applicable), (v) if such Subsidiary is a Foreign Subsidiary,
cause such Subsidiary to take such actions as may be reasonably required by the Collateral Agent (including executing and delivering guaranties,
security agreements and other agreements or instruments reasonably required by the Collateral Agent) and (vi) duly execute and/or cause
to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, in form and substance acceptable to the Collateral Agent, such opinions of counsel and other
documents as the Collateral Agent shall request with respect thereto. Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to attach such
updated Schedules to this Agreement and agrees that all Pledged Equity and Pledged Debt listed on any updated Schedule delivered to the
Collateral Agent shall for all purposes hereunder be considered Collateral. The Grantors agree that the pledge of the shares of Capital
Stock acquired by a Grantor of any Foreign Subsidiary may be supplemented by one or more separate pledge agreements, deeds of pledge,
share charges, or other similar agreements or instruments, executed and delivered by the relevant Grantor in favor of the Collateral Agent,
which pledge agreements will provide for the pledge of such shares of Capital Stock in accordance with the laws of the applicable foreign
jurisdiction to the extent required hereunder. With respect to such shares of Capital Stock, the Collateral Agent may, at any time and
from time to time, in its reasonable discretion, take actions in such foreign jurisdictions that will result in the perfection of the
Lien created in such shares of Capital Stock.
C-22
(n) Post
Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Transaction Document, each applicable Grantor
shall:
(i) Controlled
Account Agreements. Within thirty (30) calendar days following the Closing Date (or such later date as Collateral Agent may agree
in its sole discretion), deliver to the Collateral Agent Controlled Account Agreements with respect to each Controlled Account; and
(ii) Insurance
Endorsements. Within thirty (30) calendar days following the Closing Date (or such later date as Collateral Agent may agree in its
sole discretion), deliver to the Collateral Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, additional insured, lender

policies (including, without limitation, policies related to comprehensive general liability, casualty and property, hazard, rent and
business interruption insurance) as the Collateral Agent shall request naming the Collateral Agent as additional insured or lender loss
payee, as applicable.
SECTION 7. Additional
Provisions Concerning the Collateral.
(a) To
the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and for the purpose of taking any action that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary
or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, each Grantor hereby (i) authorizes the Collateral Agent to execute any such
agreements, instruments or other documents in such Grantor’s name and to file such agreements, instruments or other documents in
such Grantor’s name and in any appropriate filing office, (ii) authorizes the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time
to file, one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relating to the Collateral (including, without limitation,
any such financing statements that (A) describe the Collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property” (or
words of similar effect) or that describe or identify the Collateral by type or in any other manner as the Collateral Agent may determine
regardless of whether any particular asset of such Grantor falls within the scope of Article 9 of the Code or whether any particular asset
of such Grantor constitutes part of the Collateral, and (B) contain any other information required by Part 5 of Article 9 of the Code
for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement or amendment, including, without limitation,
whether such Grantor is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to such Grantor)
and (iii) ratifies such authorization to the extent that the Collateral Agent has filed any such financing or continuation statements,
or amendments thereto, prior to the date hereof. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering
the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law.
(b) Each
Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full authority in the place and stead
of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, from time to time in the Collateral Agent’s discretion following the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Collateral Agent
may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) to obtain and adjust
insurance required to be paid to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 6(e) hereof, (ii) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover,
compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any Collateral, (iii) to receive,
endorse, and collect any drafts or other Instruments, Documents and Chattel Paper in connection with clause (i) or (ii) above, (iv) to
file any claims or take any action or institute any action, suit or proceedings which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable
for the collection of any Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders with respect to any
Collateral, (v) to execute assignments, licenses and other documents to enforce the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders
with respect to any Collateral, and (vi) to verify any and all information with respect to any and all Accounts. This power is coupled
with an interest and is irrevocable until all of the Obligations are fully performed and Paid in Full.
C-23
(c) For
the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies hereunder, at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be
lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent,
to the extent assignable, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Grantor)
to use, assign, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property in which such Grantor now or hereafter has any right, title or interest,
wherever the same may be located, including, without limitation, in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed
items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof; provided, however,
that notwithstanding the foregoing, such license shall not include the right to independently operate, deploy, execute, or run any proprietary
source code, artificial intelligence or machine learning models, model weights, training data, training parameters, or other competitively
sensitive technology of any Grantor (collectively, “Proprietary AI Technology”), it being understood and agreed that
the Collateral Agent’s remedies with respect to Proprietary AI Technology shall be limited to the right to sell, assign, transfer,
or license such Proprietary AI Technology (including as part of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets or business of a Grantor
as a going concern) to a third-party purchaser, but shall not include the right to independently use or deploy such Proprietary AI Technology
in competition with any Grantor or its business. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, but subject to the provisions
of the Securities Purchase Agreement that limit the right of any Grantor to dispose of its property, and Section 6(g) and Section
6(h) hereof, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any Grantor may exploit, use, enjoy, protect, license,
sublicense, assign, sell, dispose of or take other actions with respect to the Intellectual Property in the ordinary course of its business
and as otherwise expressly permitted by any of the other Transaction Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing, unless an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall from time to time, upon the request of any Grantor, execute and deliver
any instruments, certificates or other documents, in the form so requested, which such Grantor shall have certified are appropriate (in
such Grantor’s judgment) to allow it to take any action permitted above (including relinquishment of the license provided pursuant
to this clause (c) as to any Intellectual Property). Further, upon the full performance and Payment in Full of all of the Obligations,
the Collateral Agent (subject to Section 11(e) hereof) shall release and reassign to any Grantor all of the Collateral Agent’s
right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property, and the Licenses, all without recourse, representation or warranty whatsoever.
The exercise of rights and remedies hereunder by the Collateral Agent shall not terminate the rights of the holders of any licenses or
sublicenses theretofore granted by each Grantor in accordance with the second sentence of this clause (c). Each Grantor hereby releases
the Collateral Agent from any claims, causes of action and demands at any time arising out of or with respect to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by the Collateral Agent under the powers of attorney granted herein other than actions taken or omitted to be taken
through the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction no longer subject to appeal.
(d) If
any Grantor fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained herein, the Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance
of, such agreement or obligation, in the name of such Grantor or the Collateral Agent, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred
in connection therewith shall be payable by such Grantor pursuant to Section 9 hereof and such obligation shall be secured by the
Collateral.
(e) The
powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty
upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually
received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve
rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.
C-24
(f) Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding (i) each Grantor shall remain liable under the Licenses and otherwise with respect to any of the
Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not
been executed, (ii) the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of its rights or remedies hereunder shall not release any Grantor from
any of its obligations under the Licenses or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, and (iii) the Collateral Agent shall not have any
obligation or liability by reason of this Agreement under the Licenses or with respect to any of the other Collateral, nor shall the Collateral
Agent be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any
claim for payment assigned hereunder.
(g) As
long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and, other than in the case of a Bankruptcy Event of Default, until
written notice shall be given to the applicable Grantor:
(i) Each
Grantor shall have the right, from time to time, to vote and give consents with respect to the Pledged Equity, or any part thereof for
all purposes not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document;
provided, however, that no vote shall be cast, and no consent shall be given or action taken, which would have the effect of impairing
the position or interest of the Collateral Agent in respect of the Pledged Equity or which would authorize, effect or consent to (unless
and to the extent expressly permitted by the Securities Purchase Agreement):
A. the
dissolution or liquidation, in whole or in part, of a Pledged Entity;
B. the
consolidation or merger of a Pledged Entity with any other Person;
C. the
sale, disposition or encumbrance of all or substantially all of the assets of a Pledged Entity, except for Liens in favor of the Collateral
Agent;
D. any
change in the authorized number of shares, the stated capital or the authorized share capital of a Pledged Entity or the issuance of any
additional shares of its Capital Stock; or
E. the
alteration of the voting rights with respect to the Capital Stock of a Pledged Entity.
(h) (i) Each Grantor
shall be entitled, from time to time, to collect and receive for its own use all cash dividends and interest paid in respect of the Pledged
Equity to the extent not in violation of the Securities Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document other than any and all: (A)
dividends and interest paid or payable other than in cash in respect of any Pledged Equity, and instruments and other property received,
receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Equity; (B) dividends and other distributions paid
or payable in cash in respect of any Pledged Equity in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection
with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in capital of a Pledged Entity; and (C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed,
in respect of principal of, or in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Equity; provided, however, that until actually paid all
rights to such distributions shall remain subject to the Lien created by this Agreement; and
(ii) all
dividends and interest (other than such cash dividends and interest as are permitted to be paid to any Grantor in accordance with clause
(i) above) and all other distributions in respect of any of the Pledged Equity, whenever paid or made, shall be delivered to the Collateral
Agent to hold as Pledged Equity and shall, if received by any Grantor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent (for
the ratable benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders), be segregated from the other property or funds of such Grantor, and
be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent as Pledged Equity in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).
C-25
SECTION 8. Remedies
Upon Event of Default; Application of Proceeds. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(a) The
Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to any other rights and remedies provided for herein, in any other
Transaction Document or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Code (whether
or not the Code applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (i) take absolute control of the Collateral, including, without limitation,
transfer into the Collateral Agent’s name or into the name of its nominee or nominees (to the extent the Collateral Agent has not
theretofore done so) and thereafter receive, for the ratable benefit of itself and the Noteholders, all payments made thereon, give all
consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof and otherwise act with respect thereto as though it were the outright owner thereof,
(ii) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith,
assemble all or part of its respective Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at
a place or places to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties, and the Collateral Agent may
enter into and occupy any premises owned or leased by any Grantor where the Collateral or any part thereof is located or assembled for
a reasonable period in order to effectuate the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation
to any Grantor in respect of such occupation, and (iii) without notice except as specified below and without any obligation to prepare
or process the Collateral for sale, (A) sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale (including,
without limitation, by credit bid), at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery,
and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable and/or (B) lease, license
or dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof upon such terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor
agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or any other disposition of its respective Collateral shall be required by law, at least ten
(10) days’ notice to any Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition
of its respective Collateral is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make
any sale or other disposition of any Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public
or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be
made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders
arising by reason of the fact that the price at which its respective Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the
price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if the Collateral
Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree, and waives all rights that any Grantor
may have to require that all or any part of such Collateral be marshaled upon any sale (public or private) thereof. Each Grantor hereby
acknowledges that (i) any such sale of its respective Collateral by the Collateral Agent shall be made without warranty, (ii) the Collateral
Agent may specifically disclaim any warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment or the like, and (iii) such actions set forth in
clauses (i) and (ii) above shall not adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any such sale of Collateral. In addition to the
foregoing, (1) upon written notice to any Grantor from the Collateral Agent after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such
Grantor shall cease any use of the Intellectual Property or any trademark, patent or copyright similar thereto for any purpose described
in such notice; (2) the Collateral Agent may, at any time and from time to time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
upon 10 days’ prior notice to such Grantor, license, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive
basis, any of the Intellectual Property, throughout the universe for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the
Collateral Agent shall in its reasonable discretion determine; and (3) the Collateral Agent may, at any time, pursuant to the authority
granted in Section 7 hereof or otherwise (such authority being effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default), execute and deliver on behalf of such Grantor, one or more instruments of assignment of the Intellectual Property (or any
application or registration thereof), in form suitable for filing, recording or registration in any country.
C-26
(b) Any
cash held by the Collateral Agent as Collateral and all Cash Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale or disposition
of or collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied as follows (subject to the provisions
of the Securities Purchase Agreement): first, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Collateral Agent
(including, without limitation, those described in Section 9 hereof); second, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements
then due to the Noteholders, on a pro rata basis; third to pay interest due under the Notes owing to the Noteholders, on a pro rata basis;
fourth, to pay or prepay principal in respect of the Notes, whether or not then due, owing to the Noteholders, on a pro rata basis; fifth,
to pay or prepay any other Obligations, whether or not then due, in such order and manner as the Collateral Agent shall elect, consistent
with the provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Any surplus of such cash or Cash Proceeds held by the Collateral Agent and remaining
after the full performance and Payment in Full of all of the Obligations shall be paid over to whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled to
receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.
(c) In
the event that the proceeds of any such sale, disposition, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the
Collateral Agent and the Noteholders are legally entitled, each Grantor shall be, jointly and severally, liable for the deficiency, together
with interest thereon at the rate specified in the Notes for interest on overdue principal thereof or such other rate as shall be fixed
by applicable law, together with the costs of collection and the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and other charges of any attorneys employed
by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.
(d) To
the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies in a commercially reasonable manner,
each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for the Collateral Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed
significant by the Collateral Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into
finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be
disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection
or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or
other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies
against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection
specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral
is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Grantor, for expressions of interest
in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of
Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that
provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match
buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties,
such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Collateral Agent against
risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Collateral Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or
disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent, to obtain the services of brokers, investment
bankers, consultants, attorneys and other professionals to assist the Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the
Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions
by the Collateral Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Collateral Agent’s exercise of rights and remedies against the Collateral
and that other actions or omissions by the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being
indicated in this section. Without limitation of the foregoing, nothing contained in this section shall be construed to grant any rights
to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Collateral Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable
law in the absence of this section.
C-27
(e) The
Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including, but not limited to, this Agreement
and the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or
other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder and in respect
of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however
existing or arising; provided that the Collateral Agent shall conduct any sale of Collateral in a commercially reasonable manner. To the
extent that any Grantor lawfully may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral
which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under
any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any
of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably
waives the benefits of all such laws.
SECTION 9. Indemnity
and Expenses.
(a) Each
Grantor agrees, jointly and severally, to defend, protect, indemnify and hold the Collateral Agent and each of the Noteholders harmless
from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees, costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable and actual legal fees, costs, expenses, and disbursements of such Person’s counsel) to the extent that they
arise out of or otherwise result from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except to the extent
resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
no longer subject to appeal.
(b) Each
Grantor agrees, jointly and severally, to pay to the Collateral Agent upon demand the amount of any and all costs and expenses, including
the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of counsel for the Collateral Agent and of any experts and agents (including, without
limitation, any collateral trustee which may act as agent of the Collateral Agent), which the Collateral Agent may incur in connection
with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, recordation, administration, amendment, waiver or other modification or termination
of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any
Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights or remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, or (iv) the failure
by any Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
SECTION 10. Notices,
Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed (by certified mail, first-class
postage prepaid and return receipt requested), telecopied, e-mailed or delivered, (a) if to any Grantor, to the Company’s address,
email address and/or facsimile number as set forth in Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, (b) if to any Buyer, to it at
its respective address, email address and/or facsimile number as set forth in Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement or (c)
if to Collateral Agent, to it at its respective address, email address and/or facsimile number as set forth on its signature page hereto;
or as to any such Person, at such other address as shall be designated by such Person in a written notice to all other parties hereto
complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 10. All such notices and other communications shall be effective (a) if
sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, when received or five Business Days after deposited in the mails, whichever occurs first,
(b) if telecopied or e-mailed, when transmitted (during normal business hours) and confirmation is received, and otherwise, the day after
the notice or communication was transmitted and confirmation is received, or (c) if delivered in person, upon delivery. For the avoidance
of doubt, all Foreign Subsidiaries, as Grantors, hereby appoint the Company as its agent for receipt of service of process and all notices
and other communications in the United States at the address specified below.
C-28
SECTION 11. Miscellaneous.
(a) No
amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by each Grantor and the Collateral
Agent (and approved by the Required Holders), and no waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by each
Grantor therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by each Grantor and the Collateral Agent (and approved by the
Required Holders), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
given. No amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement shall be effective to the extent that it (1) applies to fewer than all of
the holders of Notes or (2) imposes any obligation or liability on any holder of Notes without such holder’s prior written consent
(which may be granted or withheld in such holder’s sole and absolute discretion).
(b) No
failure on the part of the Collateral Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy hereunder or under any of the
other Transaction Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent or
any Noteholder provided herein and in the other Transaction Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any
rights or remedies provided by law. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent or any Noteholder under any of the other Transaction
Documents against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by such Person to exercise any of its rights or remedies
under any of the other Transaction Documents against such party or against any other Person, including but not limited to, any Grantor.
(c) Any
provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to
the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity
or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
(d) This
Agreement shall create a continuing Lien on and security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until
the full performance and Payment in Full of the Obligations, and (ii) be binding on each Grantor and all other Persons who become bound
as debtor to this Agreement in accordance with Section 9-203(d) of the Code and shall inure, together with all rights and remedies of
the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders hereunder, to the ratable benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders and their respective
permitted successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, without
notice to any Grantor, the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders may assign or otherwise transfer their rights and obligations under this
Agreement and any of the other Transaction Documents, to any other Person and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all
of the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders herein or otherwise. Upon any such assignment or
transfer, all references in this Agreement to the Collateral Agent or any such Noteholder shall mean the assignee of the Collateral Agent
or such Noteholder. None of the rights or obligations of any Grantor hereunder may be assigned, delegated or otherwise transferred without
the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent in its sole and absolute discretion, and any such assignment, delegation or transfer
without such consent of the Collateral Agent shall be null and void.
(e) Upon
the full performance and Payment in Full of the Obligations, (i) this Agreement and the security interests created hereby shall terminate
and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the respective Grantor that granted such security interests hereunder, and (ii) the Collateral
Agent will, upon any Grantor’s request and at such Grantor’s expense, (A) return to such Grantor such of the Collateral as
shall not have been sold or otherwise disposed of or applied pursuant to the terms hereof and (B) execute and deliver to such Grantor
such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination, all without any representation, warranty or recourse
whatsoever.
C-29
(f) Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial.
(i) All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws
of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any provision or rule of law (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdictions)
that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.
(ii) Each
Grantor hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of Wilmington, New
Castle County, Delaware, 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, defense or objection 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 Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase 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 the Collateral Agent or the Noteholders from bringing suit or taking other legal action against any Grantor in any other jurisdiction
to collect on a Grantor’s obligations or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of the Collateral Agent or a Noteholder.
(iii) WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL, ETC. EACH PARTY 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.
(iv) Each
party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action, suit or proceeding referred
to in this Section any special, exemplary, indirect, incidental, punitive or consequential damages.
(g) Section
headings herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
(h) This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall
be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together constitute one and the same Agreement. Delivery of any executed counterpart
of a signature page of this Agreement by pdf, facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart of this Agreement.
(i) This
Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Obligations is
rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Collateral Agent, any Noteholder or any other Person (upon (i) the occurrence of any Insolvency
Proceeding of any of the Company or any Grantor or (ii) otherwise, in all cases as though such payment had not been made).
SECTION 12. Material
Non-Public Information. Upon receipt or delivery by any Grantor of any notice in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, unless
such Grantor has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, non-public information
relating to the Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries, such Grantor shall within three (3) Business Days after any such receipt or delivery
publicly disclose such material, non-public information on a Current Report on Form 8-K (or, if the Grantor is at such time a “foreign
private issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form
6-K) or otherwise. In the event that such Grantor believes that a notice contains material, non-public information relating to such Grantor
or any of its Subsidiaries, such Grantor so shall indicate to the Collateral Agent and any applicable Noteholder contemporaneously with
delivery of such notice, and in the absence of any such indication, the Collateral Agent and each Noteholder shall be allowed to presume
that all matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, non-public information relating to such Grantor or its Subsidiaries.
Nothing contained in this Section 12 shall limit any obligations of any Grantor, or any rights or remedies of the Collateral Agent
or any Noteholder, under Section 4(l) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

Agent and the Buyers, the punctual payment, as and when due and payable, by stated maturity or otherwise, of all Obligations, including,
without limitation, all interest, make-whole and other amounts that accrue after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding of the

being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all fees, costs and expenses (including counsel fees,
costs and expenses) incurred by the Collateral Agent in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty or any other Transaction Document. Without

of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the Company to the Collateral Agent or any Buyer under the Securities Purchase Agreement,
the Notes and/or any other Transaction Document but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of
an Insolvency Proceeding involving any Transaction Party.
(b) Each
Guarantor and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the Collateral Agent, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons
that this Guaranty and the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for
purposes of the Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal,

Obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Guaranteed
Obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
D-3
SECTION
3. Guaranty Absolute; Continuing Guaranty; Assignments.
(a) The
Guarantors, jointly and severally, guaranty that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the
Transaction Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such
terms or the rights of the Collateral Agent or any Buyer with respect thereto. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty
are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Guarantor to
enforce such obligations, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any Transaction Party or whether any Transaction Party
is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of any Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be as a primary obligor (and not merely
as a surety) and shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the
extent permitted by law, any defenses it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of the following:
(i) any
lack of validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document;
(ii) any
change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment
or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Transaction Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed
Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Transaction Party or extension of the maturity of any Guaranteed
Obligations or otherwise;
(iii) any
taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral;
(iv) any
taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(v) any
change, restructuring or termination of the corporate, limited liability company or partnership structure or existence of any Transaction
Party;
(vi) any
manner of application of Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any
manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other
Obligations of any Transaction Party under the Transaction Documents or any other assets of any Transaction Party or any of its Subsidiaries;
(vii) any
failure of the Collateral Agent or any Buyer to disclose to any Transaction Party any information relating to the business, condition
(financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Transaction Party now or hereafter known to the
Collateral Agent or any Buyer (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Collateral Agent or any Buyer to disclose such information);
(viii) taking
any action in furtherance of the release of any Guarantor or any other Person that is liable for the Obligations from all or any part
of any liability arising under or in connection with any Transaction Document without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent;
or
(ix) any
other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation
by the Collateral Agent or any Buyer that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Transaction Party
or any other guarantor or surety.
(b) This
Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations
is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Collateral Agent, any Buyer, or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of any Transaction Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
D-4
(c) This
Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other
than inchoate indemnity obligations) and shall not terminate for any reason prior to the respective Maturity Date of each Note (other
than Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations) and (ii) be binding upon each Guarantor and its respective successors and assigns.
This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Collateral Agent, the Buyers, and their respective successors,
and permitted pledgees, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the Collateral Agent or any
Buyer may pledge, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under and subject to the terms of any
Transaction Document to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof
granted to the Collateral Agent or such Buyer (as applicable) herein or otherwise, in each case as provided in the Securities Purchase
Agreement or such Transaction Document.
SECTION
4. Waivers. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, protest, notice
of acceptance and any other notice or formality of any kind with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any
requirement that the Collateral Agent exhaust any right or take any action against any Transaction Party or any other Person or any Collateral.
Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated herein and
in the other Transaction Documents and that the waiver set forth in this Section 4 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
The Guarantors hereby waive any right to revoke this Guaranty, and acknowledge that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies
to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future. Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon
an election of remedies by the Collateral Agent or any Buyer that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects
the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of such Guarantor or other rights of such Guarantor
to proceed against any of the other Transaction Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person or any Collateral, and (b) any defense
based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor
hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of the Collateral Agent or any Buyer to disclose to such Guarantor
any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects
of any other Transaction Party or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by the Collateral Agent or a Buyer.
SECTION
5. Subrogation. No Guarantor may exercise any rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against any Transaction Party or
any other guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of any Guarantor’s obligations under this
Guaranty, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any
right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Collateral Agent or any Buyer against any Transaction Party or any other guarantor
or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without
limitation, the right to take or receive from any Transaction Party or any other guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other
property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security solely on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until
there has been Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations. If any amount shall be paid to a Guarantor in violation of the immediately
preceding sentence at any time prior to Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty,
such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall forthwith be paid to the Collateral Agent to be
credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in
accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, or to be held as Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable
under this Guaranty thereafter arising. If (a) any Guarantor shall make payment to the Collateral Agent of all or any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations, and (b) there has been Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Collateral Agent will, at such Guarantor’s
request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty,
necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such
payment by such Guarantor.

Buyer may, and is hereby authorized to, at any time and from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors (any such notice being

special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Collateral Agent or
any Buyer to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any and all obligations of the Guarantors now or hereafter
existing under this Guaranty or any other Transaction Document, irrespective of whether or not the Collateral Agent or any Buyer

rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Collateral Agent or such Buyer may have under
this Guaranty or any other Transaction Document in law or otherwise.

Guaranty shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law
provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction
other than the State of Delaware. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts
sitting in The City of Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware, 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, obligation or defense that it is not personally subject to the

deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on the net income of the Collateral
Agent or any Buyer by the jurisdiction in which the Collateral Agent or such Buyer is organized or where it has its principal lending

Guarantor shall make such deduction or withholding,

Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, and

SECTION
13. Indemnification.
(a) Without
limitation of any other obligations of any Guarantor or remedies of the Collateral Agent or the Buyers under this Guaranty or applicable
law, except to the extent resulting from such Indemnified Party’s (as defined below) gross negligence or willful misconduct, as
determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction no longer subject to appeal, each Guarantor shall, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and each Buyer and each of their affiliates
and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against,

and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party in connection with or as a result
of any failure of any Guaranteed Obligations to be the legal, valid and binding obligations of any Transaction Party enforceable against
such Transaction Party in accordance with their terms.
(b) Each
Guarantor hereby also agrees that none of the Indemnified Parties shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract,
tort or otherwise) or any fiduciary duty or obligation to any of the Guarantors or any of their respective affiliates or any of their
respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors, and each Guarantor hereby agrees not to assert any claim against any
Indemnified Party on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, incidental or punitive damages arising out of or
otherwise relating to the facilities, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the advances, the Transaction Documents or any of
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

14. Miscellaneous.

Guarantor will make each payment hereunder in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds to the

(b) No
amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty and no consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each Guarantor and the Collateral Agent, and then such waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
(c) No
failure on the part of the Collateral Agent or any Buyer to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy hereunder or under
any other Transaction Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder or
under any Transaction Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights
and remedies of the Collateral Agent and the Buyers provided herein and in the other Transaction Documents are cumulative and are in
addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by any applicable law. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent

Agent or any Buyer to exercise any of their respective rights or remedies under any other Transaction Document against such party or
against any other Person.
(d) Any
provision of this Guaranty that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to
the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability
of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
D-10
(e) This
Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other
than inchoate indemnity obligations) and shall not terminate for any reason prior to the respective Maturity Date of each Note (other
than Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations) and (ii) be binding upon each Guarantor and its respective successors and assigns.
This Guaranty shall inure, together with all rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent and each Buyer hereunder, to the benefit of
and be enforceable by the Collateral Agent, the Buyers, and their respective successors, and permitted pledgees, transferees and assigns.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the Collateral Agent or any Buyer may pledge, assign or otherwise transfer
all or any portion of its rights and obligations under and subject to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction
Document to any other Person in accordance with the terms thereof, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits
in respect thereof granted to the Collateral Agent or such Buyer (as applicable) herein or otherwise, in each case as provided in the
Securities Purchase Agreement or such Transaction Document. None of the rights or obligations of any Guarantor hereunder may be assigned
or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.
(f) This
Guaranty and the other Transaction Documents reflect the entire understanding of the transaction contemplated hereby and shall not be
contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, entered into before the date hereof.
(g) Section
headings herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Guaranty for any other purpose.
SECTION
15. Currency Indemnity.
If,
for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against Guarantor in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert
into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 15 referred to as the “Judgment Currency”)
an amount due under this Guaranty in any currency (the “Obligation Currency”) other than the Judgment Currency, the
conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding (a) the date of actual payment
of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of courts of the jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion
being made on such date, or (b) the date on which the judgment is given, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction
(the applicable date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 15 being hereinafter in this Section 15 referred to
as the “Judgment Conversion Date”).
If,
in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in the preceding paragraph, there is a change in the rate
of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual receipt of the amount due in immediately available
funds, the Guarantors shall pay such additional amount (if any, but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that
the amount actually received in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will
produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of the Judgment Currency stipulated in
the judgment or judicial order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date. Any amount due from the Guarantors
under this Section 15 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 Guaranty.

Dear
Sirs:
This
agreement (this “Agreement”) is being delivered to you in connection with that certain understanding by and between
[__] (f/k/a Bluerock Acquisition Corp.), a Delaware corporation with offices located at 400 Concar Drive San Mateo, CA 94402 (the “Company”),
and the undersigned (the “Holder”).
The
Company and certain investors (including the Holder) have entered into that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 31,
2026 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company has agreed to issue
and sell to the Holder and the Holder has agreed to purchase certain Notes (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), which will
be convertible (such shares as converted, the “Conversion Shares”) into the Company’s common stock, $[0.00001]
par value per share (the “Common Stock”), in accordance with the terms of the Notes. Capitalized terms not defined
herein shall have the meaning as set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
During
the period commencing on the Initial Closing Date and ending on the earlier to occur of (i) such date upon which there are no Notes outstanding
and (ii) such date upon which any breach or default by the Company of this Agreement occurs (such period, the “Restricted Period”),
neither the Holder, nor any of its Affiliates, collectively, shall sell any Conversion Shares or BC Underlying Shares (the “Restricted
Securities”) during the period commencing on the hour starting at 9:30:00 a.m., New York time, through and ending on the hour
ending 4:00:00 p.m., New York time, on any given day on which the Common Stock is traded on the Principal Market, or, if the Principal
Market is not the principal trading market for the Common Stock, then on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which
the Common Stock is then traded, during such Restricted Period (each, an “Applicable Trading Day”), in an aggregate
amount representing more than the greater of (x) $500,000 in aggregate sale price of Restricted Securities and (y) 20% of the daily composite
trading volume of Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, LP on such Applicable Trading Day (the “Trading Limit”).
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (a) nothing herein shall prohibit the Holder from tendering any Restricted Securities
or other securities to any Person in a tender offer or other Fundamental Transaction and (b) no Restricted Period or Trading Limit shall
be deemed to exist at any time during any Event of Default Redemption Right Period (as defined in the Notes) (regardless of whether any
Notes are then outstanding).
H-1
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, on or after the date hereof, the Holder may, directly or indirectly, sell or transfer all, or any part,
of the Restricted Securities (or any securities convertible or exercisable into Restricted Securities, as applicable) to any Person (an
“Assignee”) (other than through the open market) without complying with (or otherwise limited by) the restrictions
set forth in this Agreement; provided, that as a condition to any such sale or transfer an authorized signatory of the Company and such
Assignee duly execute and deliver a leak-out agreement in the form of this Agreement with respect to such transferred Restricted Securities
(or such securities convertible or exercisable into Restricted Securities, as applicable) (an “Assignee Agreement”)
and sales of the Holder and its Affiliates and all Assignees shall be aggregated for all purposes of this Agreement and all Assignee
Agreements.
In
furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and its transfer agent and registrar are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer
of Common Stock if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement.
Any
notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing
and shall be given in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
The
Company and the Holder each hereby represents and warrants that it has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and that
upon request of the other party, such party, will execute any additional documents necessary to ensure the validity or enforcement of
this Agreement.
This
Agreement, together with the Transaction Documents, constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes all prior negotiations, letters and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof and are fully binding
on the parties hereto.
This
Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, and all such
counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may be executed and accepted by facsimile or PDF signature
and any such signature shall be of the same force and effect as an original signature.
The
terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and their respective successors
and assigns.
This
Agreement may not be amended or modified except in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.
H-2
All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this letter agreement shall be governed by the internal
laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any provision of law or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdictions)
that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware. Each party hereby irrevocably submits
to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in Wilmington, Delaware, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder
or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees
not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that
such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.
Each
party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding
by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this letter 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 to limit in any way any right
to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Each party hereby irrevocably waives any right it may have, and agrees not to request,
a jury trial for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection with or arising out of this letter agreement or any transaction
contemplated hereby.
Each
party hereto acknowledges that, in view of the uniqueness of the transactions contemplated by this letter agreement, the other parties
hereto would not have an adequate remedy at law for money damages in the event that this Agreement has not been performed in accordance
with its terms, and therefore agrees that such other parties shall be entitled to specific enforcement of the terms hereof in addition
to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity.
The
Company and the Holder confirm that the Holder has independently participated in the negotiation of the transactions contemplated hereby
with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. The Holder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including,
without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other holder of securities of the
Company to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

S-1 Shelf”) or, if the Company is eligible to use a Registration Statement on Form S-3, a Shelf Registration on Form S-3
(the “Form S-3 Shelf”), in each case, covering the resale of all Registrable Securities (determined as of two
(2) Business Days prior to such submission or filing) on a delayed or continuous basis and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts
to have such Shelf declared effective no later than the expiration of the Lock-Up Period. If the Shelf is not effective as of the expiration
of the Lock-up Period, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf to become effective as soon as practicable
thereafter. Such Shelf shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination
of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. Subject to Sections 2.1.3 and 3.4, the Company
shall maintain a Shelf in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including
post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep a Shelf continuously effective, available for use to permit the
Holders named therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act
until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. In the event the Company files a Form S-1 Shelf, the Company shall
use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form S-1 Shelf (and any Subsequent Shelf Registration) to a Form S-3 Shelf as soon
as reasonably practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form S-3.
2.1.2 Subsequent Shelf Registration. If
any Shelf ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities are still outstanding,
the Company shall, subject to Section 3.4, use its commercially reasonable efforts to, as promptly as is reasonably practicable,
cause such Shelf to again become effective under the Securities Act (including using its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the
prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, as promptly
as is reasonably practicable, amend such Shelf in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the
effectiveness of such Shelf or file an additional registration statement as a Shelf Registration (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration”)
registering the resale of all Registrable Securities under such Shelf (determined as of two (2) business days prior to such filing), and
pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. If a Subsequent Shelf
Registration is filed, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration to become
effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Subsequent
Shelf Registration shall be an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) if
the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) at the most recent applicable
eligibility determination date) and (ii) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration continuously effective, available for use to permit the
Holders named therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act
until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on Form S-3 to the
extent that the Company is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on another appropriate form.
2.1.3 New Registrable Securities. Subject
to Section 3.4, in the event that any Holder holds Registrable Securities that are not registered for resale on a delayed or continuous
basis, the Company shall, upon the written request of such Holder, promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the resale
of such Registrable Securities to be covered by either, at the Company’s option, any then-available Shelf (including by means of
a post-effective amendment) or a Subsequent Shelf Registration and cause the same to become effective as soon as practicable after such
filing and such Shelf or Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be subject to the terms hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall
only be required to cause such Registrable Securities to be so covered twice per calendar year for each of (i) the SPAC Initial Shareholders
and (ii) the Legacy Yellow Holders, collectively.

2.1.4 Requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns.
Subject to Section 3.4, at any time and from time to time when an effective Shelf is on file with the Commission, any Holder (a
“Demanding Holder”) may request to sell all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in an Underwritten
Offering or other coordinated offering that is registered pursuant to the Shelf (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”);
provided that the Company shall only be obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if such offering shall include Registrable
Securities proposed to be sold by the Demanding Holder, either individually or together with other Demanding Holders, with a total offering
price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $25 million (the “Minimum Takedown Threshold”). All requests
for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to the Company, which shall specify the approximate number of
Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown. The Company shall have the right to select the Underwriters
for such offering (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks), subject to the initial Demanding
Holder’s prior approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Each of (i) the SPAC Initial
Shareholders and (ii) the Legacy Yellow Holders, collectively, may demand Underwritten Shelf Takedowns pursuant to this Section 2.1.4
(x) not more than two (2) times in any 12-month period (the “Yearly Limit”). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, the Company may effect any Underwritten Offering pursuant to any then-effective Registration Statement, including
a Form S-3, that is then available for such offering. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, Cantor may not exercise its demand registration
rights after five (5) years from the commencement of sales in the Company’s initial public offering, and may not exercise its demand
rights on more than one occasion.
2.1.5 Reduction of Underwritten Offering.
If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, in good faith, advises the Company, the Demanding Holders
and the Holders requesting piggy back rights pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown (the “Requesting
Holders”) (if any) in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and
the Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the
Company desires to sell and all other shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, that have been requested to be sold in
such Underwritten Offering pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other stockholders who
desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering
without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering
(such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”),
then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering, before including any shares of Common Stock or other equity securities proposed
to be sold by the Company or by other holders of Common Stock or other equity securities, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding
Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata, as nearly as possible, based on the respective number of Registrable Securities
that each Demanding Holder and Requesting Holder (if any) has requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the aggregate
number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders (if any) have requested be included in such Underwritten
Shelf Takedown) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities. To facilitate the allocation of Registrable Securities
in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the Underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the
nearest 10 Registrable Securities.
2.1.6 Underwritten Shelf Takedown Withdrawal.
Prior to the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such Underwritten
Shelf Takedown, a majority in interest of the Demanding Holders initiating an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall have the right to withdraw
from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification (a “Withdrawal Notice”)
to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown; provided
that any other Demanding Holder(s) may elect to have the Company continue an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if the Minimum Takedown Threshold
would still be satisfied by the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown by the Demanding Holder(s).
If withdrawn, a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall constitute a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown by the withdrawing
Demanding Holder for purposes of Section 2.1.4 and shall count toward the Yearly Limit and the Total Limit, unless either (i) the
Demanding Holder(s) making the withdrawal has not previously withdrawn any Underwritten Shelf Takedown or (ii) the Demanding Holder(s)
making the withdrawal reimburses the Company for all Registration Expenses with respect to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown (or, if there
is more than one Demanding Holder, a pro rata portion of such Registration Expenses based on the respective number of Registrable Securities
that each Demanding Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown); provided that, if any other Demanding
Holder(s) elects to continue an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, such Underwritten
Shelf Takedown shall instead count as an Underwritten Shelf Takedown demanded by such Demanding Holder(s) for purposes of Section 2.1.4
and shall count toward the Yearly Limit and the Total Limit. Following the receipt of any Withdrawal Notice, the Company shall promptly
forward such Withdrawal Notice to any other Requesting Holders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company
shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Shelf Takedown prior to its withdrawal under this Section
2.1.6, other than if a Demanding Holder elects to pay such Registration Expenses pursuant to clause (ii) of the second sentence
of this Section 2.1.6.

such registered offering such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within two (2) business days after
transmission of such written notice (such Registration, a “Piggyback Registration”). Subject to Section 2.2.2,
the Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and, if applicable,

be included in such Underwritten Offering and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Holders have requested to be included
in such Underwritten Offering, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (C) third, to the extent that the
Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Common Stock or
other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (D)
fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and
(C), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been
requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of such Persons other than the Holder of Registrable
Securities hereunder, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and
(c) If
the Registration or registered offering is pursuant to a request by Holder(s) of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1,
then the Company shall include in any such Registration or registered offering securities in the priority set forth in Section 2.1.5.
2.2.3 Piggyback
Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities (other than a Demanding Holder, whose right to withdraw from an Underwritten
Shelf Takedown, and related obligations, shall be governed by Section 2.1.6) shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback
Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of
his, her or its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed
with the Commission with respect to such Piggyback Registration or, in the case of a Piggyback Registration pursuant to a Shelf Registration,
the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement with respect to such Piggyback Registration
used for marketing such transaction. The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal
by persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection
with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement (other than Section 2.1.6), the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection
with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.2.3.
2.2.4 Unlimited
Piggyback Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, subject to Section 2.1.6, any Piggyback Registration effected pursuant
to Section 2.2 hereof shall not be counted as an Underwritten Shelf Takedown under Section 2.1.4 and shall not count toward
the Yearly Limit or the Total Limit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cantor may not exercise its “piggyback” registration rights
after seven (7) years from the effective date of the Company’s initial public offering.
2.3 Market
Stand-off. In connection with any Underwritten Offering of equity securities of the Company, if requested by the managing Underwriter,
each Holder that is an executive officer or director of the Company or a Holder in excess of 5.0% of the then-outstanding Common Stock
agrees that it shall not Transfer any shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company (other than those included in such
offering pursuant to this Agreement), without the prior written consent of the Company, during the 90-day period (or such shorter time
agreed to by the managing Underwriters) beginning on the date of pricing of such offering (the “Underwritten Lock-Up Period”),
except (i) to Permitted Transferees, (ii) as expressly permitted in writing by the Company or (iii) in the event the Underwriters managing
the offering otherwise consent in writing. Each such Holder agrees to execute a customary lock-up agreement in favor of the Underwriters
to such effect (in each case on substantially the same terms and conditions as all other Holders). The Company will not be obligated to
undertake an Underwritten Shelf Takedown during any Underwritten Lock-Up Period binding on the Holders, nor will the Company be obligated
to include in any Piggyback Registration any Registrable Securities that are then subject to a “lock-up” agreement.
9
2.4 Legends.
In connection with any sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities by a Holder pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission) and upon compliance by the Holder with the requirements
of this Section 2.4, if requested by the Holder, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the transfer
agent or warrant agent for the Registrable Securities, as applicable (the “Transfer Agent”), to remove any restrictive
legends related to the book entry account holding such Registrable Securities (if the requirements of Rule 144 have been met) and make
a new, unlegended entry for such book entry shares sold or disposed of without restrictive legends promptly after any such request therefor
from the Holder; provided that the Company and the Transfer Agent have timely received from the Holder customary representations and other
documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Transfer Agent in connection therewith. Subject to receipt from the Holder
by the Company and the Transfer Agent of customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company and the
Transfer Agent in connection therewith, the Holder may request that the Company remove any legend from the book entry position evidencing
its Registrable Securities and the Company will, if required by the Transfer Agent, use its commercially reasonable efforts cause an opinion
of the Company’s counsel be provided, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Transfer Agent, to the effect that the removal of such
restrictive legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act, following the earliest of such time as such Registrable
Securities (i) are subject to or have been or are about to be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or (ii) have been or
are about to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission).
If restrictive legends are no longer required for such Registrable Securities pursuant to the foregoing, the Company shall, in accordance
with the provisions of this section promptly after any request therefor from the Holder accompanied by such customary and reasonably acceptable
representations and other documentation referred to above establishing that restrictive legends are no longer required, deliver to the
Transfer Agent irrevocable instructions that the Transfer Agent shall make a new, unlegended entry for such book entry shares. The Company
shall be responsible for the fees of its Transfer Agent, its legal counsel and all DTC fees associated with such issuance.
ARTICLE 3
COMPANY PROCEDURES
3.1 General
Procedures. In connection with any Shelf and/or Shelf Takedown, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect
such Registration to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended plan of distribution thereof (and
including all manners of distribution in such Registration Statement as Holders may reasonably request in connection with the filing of
such Registration Statement and as permitted by law, including distribution of Registrable Securities to a Holder’s members, securityholders
or partners), and pursuant thereto the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible:
3.1.1 prepare
and file with the Commission, as soon as reasonably practicable, a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities
and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective until all Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration have ceased to be Registrable Securities;
3.1.2 prepare
and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement, and such supplements to the
Prospectus, as may be reasonably requested by any Holder that holds at least five percent (5%) of the Registrable Securities registered
on such Registration Statement or any Underwriter of Registrable Securities or as may be required by the rules, regulations or instructions
applicable to the registration form used by the Company or by the Securities Act or rules and regulations thereunder to keep the Registration
Statement effective until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement are sold in accordance with the intended plan
of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus;
10
3.1.3 prior
to filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the Underwriters,
if any, and the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration, and such Holders’ legal counsel, copies of such
Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case including all
exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each
preliminary Prospectus), and such other documents as the Underwriters and the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration
or the legal counsel for any such Holders may request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such
Holders;
3.1.4 prior
to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities
covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States
as the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may
request (or provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to such Holders that the Registrable Securities are exempt from such registration
or qualification) and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be
registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the
Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holders of Registrable Securities included
in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required
to qualify or take any action to which it would be subject to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it
is not then otherwise so subject;
3.1.5 use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each national securities exchange or automated
quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;
3.1.6 provide
a transfer agent or warrant agent, as applicable, and registrar for all such Registrable Securities no later than the effective date of

3.1.7 advise
each seller of such Registrable Securities, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any
stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding
for such purpose and promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal
if such stop order should be issued;
3.1.8 prior
to the filing of any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus
as may be (a) necessary in order to comply with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated under the
Securities Act or Exchange Act, as applicable or (b) advisable in order to reduce the number of days that sales are suspended pursuant
to Section 3.4, furnish a copy thereof to each seller of such Registrable Securities and by means of one counsel on behalf of all
such sellers (excluding any exhibits thereto and any filing made under the Exchange Act that is to be incorporated by reference therein);
3.1.9 notify
the selling Holders at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities
Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes
a Misstatement, and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 3.4 hereof;
3.1.10 in
the event of an Underwritten Offering, or sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent that is registered pursuant to a Registration
Statement, permit a representative of the Holders (such representative to be selected by a majority of the participating Holders), the
Underwriters or other financial institutions facilitating such Underwritten Offering, or other sale pursuant to such Registration, if
any, and any attorney, consultant or accountant retained by such Holders collectively, Underwriters or other financial institutions to
participate, at each such Person’s own expense, in the preparation of the Registration Statement, and cause the Company’s
officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter, financial institution,
attorney, consultant or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided, however, that such representative, Underwriters or financial
institutions agree to confidentiality arrangements, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release
or disclosure of any such information;
11
3.1.11 use
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a “comfort” letter (including a bring-down letter dated as of the date the Registrable
Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration) from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in
the event of an Underwritten Offering, or a sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent pursuant to a Registration Statement (subject
to such Underwriter or other financial institution facilitating such offering providing such certification or representation as reasonably
requested by the Company’s independent registered public accountings and the Company’s counsel), to the extent customary,
in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “comfort” letters as the managing Underwriter
or other similar type of sales agent or placement agent may reasonably request;
3.1.12 use
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, in the event of an Underwritten Offering or sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent
pursuant to a Registration Statement, to the extent customary, on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant
to such Registration, obtain an opinion and negative assurance letter, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes
of such Registration, addressed to the participating Holders, the broker, the placement agent or sales agent, if any, and the Underwriters,
if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the participating
Holders, broker, placement agent, sales agent, or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions
and negative assurance letters, provided, in each case, that such participating Holders provide such information to such counsel as is
customarily required for, or is reasonably requested by such counsel for purposes of, such opinion or negative assurance letter;
3.1.13 in
the event of any Underwritten Offering or sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent pursuant to a Registration Statement, enter
into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, purchase agreement, sales agreement or placement agreement in usual
and customary form, with the managing Underwriter or broker, sales agent or placement agent of such offering or sale;
3.1.14 make
available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12)
months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement
which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter
by the Commission);
3.1.15 with
respect to an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.1.4, use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available senior
executives of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested (in light
of the circumstances of the Company at the time) by the Underwriter in such Underwritten Offering; and
3.1.16 otherwise,
in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders participating
in such Registration, consistent with the terms of this Agreement, in connection with such Registration.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Company shall not be required to provide any documents or information to an Underwriter or other sales agent or placement agent if
such Underwriter or other sales agent or placement agent has not then been named with respect to the applicable Underwritten Offering
or other offering involving a registration as an Underwriter or broker, sales agent or placement agent, as applicable.
3.2 Registration
Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the
Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ or agents’
commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration
Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.
12
3.3 Requirements
for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall provide such information as may reasonably
be requested by the Company, or the managing Underwriter or placement agent or sales agent, if any, in connection with the preparation
of any Registration Statement or Prospectus, including amendments and supplements thereto, in order to effect the registration of any
Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to ARTICLE 2 and in connection with the Company’s obligation to
comply with federal and applicable state securities Laws. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Holder does
not timely provide the Company with its requested Holder Information, the Company may exclude such Holder’s Registrable Securities
from the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus if the Company determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such information
is necessary to effect the registration and such Holder continues thereafter to withhold such information. No Person may participate in
any Underwritten Offering or other coordinated offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the
Company hereunder unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any arrangements approved
by the Company and (ii) timely completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements,
underwriting or other agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such arrangements. The
exclusion of a Holder’s Registrable Securities as a result of this Section 3.3 shall not affect the registration of the other
Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration.
3.4 Suspension
of Sales; Adverse Disclosure; Restrictions on Registration Rights.
3.4.1 Upon
receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall
forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until he, she or it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus
correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as
soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until he, she or it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus
may be resumed.
3.4.2 If
the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would (i) require
the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, (ii) require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are
unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control or (iii) in the good faith judgment of the majority of the Board,
be seriously detrimental to the Company, and the majority of the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer such filing,
initial effectiveness or continued use at such time, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders
(which notice shall not specify the nature of the event giving rise to such delay or suspension), delay the filing or initial effectiveness
of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary
for such purpose. In the event the Company exercises its rights under this Section 3.4.2, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately
upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale
or offer to sell Registrable Securities until such Holder receives written notice from the Company that such sales or offers of Registrable
Securities may be resumed, and in each case maintain the confidentiality of such notice and its contents.
3.4.3 Subject
to Section 3.4.4, if (i) during the period starting with the date 60 days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the
date of the filing of, and ending on a date 120 days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated Registration, and provided that
the Company continues to actively employ, in good faith, all commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the applicable
Shelf Registration, or (ii) if, pursuant to Section 2.1.4, Holders have requested an Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the Company
and such Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite such offering, then, in each case, the Company
may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay any other registered offering pursuant to Section 2.1.4.
3.4.4 The
right to delay or suspend any filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 3.4.2
or a registered offering pursuant to Section 3.4.3 shall be exercised by the Company, in the aggregate, for not more than 90 consecutive
calendar days or more 120 total calendar days in each case, during any 12-month period.
3.5 Reporting
Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company
under the Exchange Act, covenants to use commercially reasonable efforts to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file
within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or
15(d) of the Exchange Act. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly
authorized officer as to whether is has complied with such requirements.

ARTICLE 4
INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION
4.1 Indemnification.
4.1.1 The
Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers, directors and agents
and each Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from
any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus
or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto filed pursuant to this Agreement or any omission or alleged omission
of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same
are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein.
The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such Underwriters (within the
meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Holder.
4.1.2 In
connection with any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating,
such Holder shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably
requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (the “Holder Information”)
and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors, officers and agents and each Person who controls the
Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement
of material fact contained in or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any
amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement is contained in (or not contained in,
in the case of an omission) any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided,
however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and
the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such
Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify
the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person or entity who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities
Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.
4.1.3 Any
Person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to
which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any Person’s right to indemnification
hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s
reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit
such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense
is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its
consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume
the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such
indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist
between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without
the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all
respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which
settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which settlement does not
include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability
in respect to such claim or litigation.
14
4.1.4 The
indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on
behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer
of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions
as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such Holder’s
indemnification is unavailable for any reason.
4.1.5 If
the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless
an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying
party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result
of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault
of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the
indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including
any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not
made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by, in the case of an omission), such indemnifying
party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information
and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this Section 4.1.5
shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount
paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or out-of-pocket
expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would
not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any
other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 4.1.5. No Person
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant
to this Section 4.1.5 from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
4.2 Waiver
of Medallion Guaranty. The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into an indemnification agreement in customary
form, in favor of Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (or any successor transfer agent or warrant agent of the Company) in
connection with the waiver of any requirement to provide a medallion guarantee in connection with any Transfer of any equity securities
of the Company by the SPAC Initial Shareholders, Cantor or any of their Permitted Transferees; provided, that, in each case, as a prerequisite
to the Company’s entry into such indemnification agreement, such SPAC Initial Shareholder, Cantor or their Permitted Transferees
enter into an indemnification agreement in customary form in favor of the Company indemnifying the Company against all losses, liability
or costs that may ensue as a result of its processing such transaction.

Exhibit 99.1
Yellow.ai, a Global Leader in Enterprise Agentic AI, to Go Public
via $550 Million Merger with Bluerock Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: BLRK)
Transaction expected to create a U.S. publicly
listed pure-play enterprise agentic AI platform
● Category leader, deployed at scale today: Global enterprise agentic AI platform — 16 billion conversations annually,
650+ enterprise clients, $34M+ unaudited revenue last fiscal year.
● Technology: Nexus runs on multiple AI models — not locked to one provider — and improves with every conversation.
135+ languages, 85+ countries, 100+ enterprise integrations.
● Blue-chip backing: $100M+ raised from Lightspeed, Salesforce Ventures, Sapphire Ventures and WestBridge Capital.
● Valuation: Transaction metrics imply a pro forma equity value of ~$550 million, assuming no redemptions by BLRK public shareholders.
Includes $30 million of committed PIPE financing from institutional investors.
● Long-term alignment: The founders and key management are investing their own capital in the PIPE, side by side with institutional
investors.
SAN MATEO, Calif. and NEW YORK, N.Y. — August 3, 2026
— Yellow.ai, a global leader in enterprise agentic AI for service automation, and Bluerock Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: BLRK) (“Bluerock”),
a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, today announced a definitive Business Combination Agreement expected to take Yellow.ai
public. At closing, the combined company will operate as Yellow.ai and trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker “YAI.”
Delivering Enterprise Agentic
AI at Scale Today
Yellow.ai was founded in 2016 by Raghu Ravinutala, Rashid Khan and
Jaya Kishore Reddy on a single conviction — that enterprise software would evolve from tools that assist people to agents that do
the work. A decade later, Yellow.ai has that thesis in production.
The founding partnership has since grown from three to five. The partners
— an engineering-led group with roots at IIT and MIT — combine technical depth with operating and capital-markets experience.
The original founders lead product and platform, Kaushik Bhaskar brings business process outsourcing(“BPO”) operating leadership,
and Nand Sharma brings private-equity roll-up execution. Together, they supply the three capabilities a consolidation strategy requires.
Yellow.ai captures the hard-won expertise of an enterprise’s best people
and turns it into AI agents that plan, act and resolve autonomously — across systems, channels and languages. Adoption validates
the technology: enterprise accounts now make up over 70% of recurring revenue, reflecting the result of a deliberate shift toward large,
durable contracts.
Voice is the fastest-growing frontier in enterprise contact centers.
Nexus Vox delivers low-latency, human-like voice agents in 135+ languages and is Yellow.ai’s fastest-growing, most widely adopted product.
Why Yellow.ai Wins
A compounding data advantage: Every interaction improves the
platform. Yellow.ai’s proprietary harness, context engine and multi-LLM orchestration sit above a commoditizing model layer — where
the durable value accrues.
A truly global platform: 85+ countries, with enterprise deployments
across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.
Industry recognition: Named a Strong Performer in The Forrester
Wave™: Conversational AI Platforms for Customer Service, Q2 2026.
Positioned to Capitalize on a Significant Market Reallocation
Management believes the shift from human-delivered
to AI-delivered customer experience will be one of the largest enterprise reallocations of the coming decade. This shift is centered on
the BPO market, in which enterprises outsource customer-facing and back-office functions, such as customer support, technical support,
finance and accounting and human resources, to specialized third-party providers in order to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and scale
their operations.
Today the BPO market is a $384 billion, labor-intensive
category where roughly 85% of customer-service calls are still answered by humans. By 2035 it is projected to reach $906 billion —
with the AI agent sub-segment compounding from $12 billion to $295 billion, a ~43% CAGR.
Yellow.ai is built to capture that shift: organic
growth, BPO roll-ups, and proprietary industry-specific AI models.
Founders’ Commentary
Raghu Ravinutala, CEO, named to the Top 50 SaaS CEOs (2023)
“Ten years ago we bet that enterprises would stop buying software
that assists people and start deploying agents that do the work. That’s no longer a thesis — it’s in production: 16 billion conversations
a year, across 135+ languages, inside some of the largest companies on earth. BPOs, with a large US market, mainly driven by humans, will
move to agents that plan, act and resolve — and the platform enterprises trust to run it will define the category.”
Jaya Kishore Reddy, CPO, named to BW Businessworld’s 40 Under
40 (2022)
“The industry is moving to specialized models. Yellow.ai is
positioned to build industry-leading IP trained on domain expertise, vertical by vertical.”
Rashid Khan, CMO & Head of IR, named to Forbes’ 30 Under
30 for Enterprise Technology (2022)
“Enterprise demand for AI is accelerating. This combination
positions us to meet it.”
Kaushik Bhaskar, CEO – AI Services
“The CX industry is at an inflection point, and Yellow.ai
has the technology, data and platform to lead it — a chance to build a category-defining company.”
Nand Sharma, President and Group CFO
“We pair enterprise AI software with proven operating expertise,
so enterprises transform faster with better efficiency, quality and outcomes.”

Sponsor Commentary
Ramin Kamfar, Chairman and CEO of Bluerock
Acquisition Corp.
“As some investors seek exposure to AI roll-up strategies,
Yellow.ai is executing a consolidation strategy in a market we believe is ripe for operational optimization, growth trajectory, and margin
expansion. Yellow.ai has built an enterprise-grade platform already operating at production scale across some of the world’s most demanding
organizations. We’re excited to back the Yellow.ai team as they aim to consolidate this attractive and fragmented market and scale
their agentic AI platform.”
Business Combination Structure
to Accelerate Growth
The BCA has received unanimous approval from the Boards of Directors
of both Bluerock and Yellow.ai. Completion of the Business Combination remains subject to customary closing conditions, including the
requisite approval from Bluerock’s shareholders.
Under the terms of the BCA, the Business Combination values Yellow.ai
at a pre-money valuation of approximately $300 million.
The Business Combination ascribes a pro forma equity value of approximately
$550 million to the combined company. The Business Combination is expected to generate more than $200 million in gross proceeds, including:
· Approximately $175 million of cash held in Bluerock’s trust account at closing (assuming no redemptions of Bluerock’s public
shares); and
· Approximately $30 million of committed PIPE financing from institutional investors.
Yellow.ai intends to use the proceeds from the transaction to accelerate
investment in its agentic AI platform, expand enterprise sales across North America and Europe, and scale its global operations. The combined
company also plans to deploy capital toward a disciplined M&A strategy focused on acquiring complementary BPO operators. Yellow.ai
plans to transform acquired BPOs into AI-native operations powered by its AI platform.
In addition to the $30 million of committed PIPE financing, Yellow.ai
may raise additional PIPE financing as part of this Business Combination. The Business Combination is expected to close in the second
half of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.

Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”) is acting as exclusive
financial advisor to Yellow.ai. King & Spalding LLP is representing Cantor as legal counsel. Fox Rothschild LLP is representing Yellow.ai
as legal counsel, and AUM Advisors is serving as communications counsel to Yellow.ai.

rise to the termination of the business combination agreement; the outcome of any legal proceedings or government investigations that
may be commenced against Yellow.ai or Bluerock; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination; the ability of
Yellow.ai or the combined company to issue equity or equity-linked securities in connection with the Business Combination or in the future;
and other factors described in Bluerock’s filings with the SEC. These forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions,

that may impact such forward-looking statements can be found in filings and potential filings by Bluerock or the combined company resulting
from the Business Combination with the SEC, including under the heading “Risk Factors.” If any of these risks materialize
or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There

reflect Yellow.ai’s and Bluerock’s expectations, plans, or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press
release. Yellow.ai and Bluerock anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause Yellow.ai’s and Bluerock’s assessments
to change. However, while Yellow.ai and Bluerock may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Yellow.ai
and Bluerock specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing
Yellow.ai’s and Bluerock’s assessments as of any date after the date of this press release. Accordingly, undue reliance should
not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.

reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of
this communication, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited
or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all

upon these statements. An investment in Bluerock is not an investment in any of Bluerock’s founders or sponsors past investments,

may differ materially from the performance of Bluerock’s founders or sponsors past investments.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION Yellow.ai is subject to numerous risks factors, including but not limited to the following: • Yellow.ai is an early-stage company with a history of financial losses and expects to incur significant expenses and continuing losses for the foreseeable future. • The impact of worldwide economic conditions, including the resulting effect on spending by businesses and spending on technology, may adversely affect Yellow.ai's business, operating results and financial condition. • Yellow.ai's limited operating history in a new and developing market makes it difficult to evaluate its current business and future prospects and may increase the risk that it will not be successful. • The markets for Yellow.ai's offerings are new and evolving and may develop more slowly or differently than expected. Yellow.ai's future success is dependent on the growth and expansion of these markets, its ability to adapt and respond effectively to evolving market conditions and its relationship with its business partners. • Non-performance under, termination, non-renewal or material modification of agreements with Yellow.ai's business partners could have a material adverse effect on Yellow.ai's business, financial condition and/or results of operations. • Yellow.ai's business could be harmed if it fails to manage its growth effectively. • Yellow.ai's operating and financial results forecast relies in large part upon assumptions and analyses developed by Yellow.ai. If these assumptions or analyses prove to be incorrect, Yellow.ai's actual operating results may be materially different from its forecasted results. • As a result of Yellow.ai's business model, it may not be able to accurately assess its financial position and results of operations. • As Yellow.ai and its channels and customers adopt its proprietary machine learning systems, it may be exposed to risks related to systems efficiency and disclosure and changes to the political and regulatory framework for AI technology, which can adversely affect Yellow.ai's business, financial condition and results of operations. • If Yellow.ai fails to improve and enhance the functionality, performance, reliability, design, security and scalability of its platform in a manner that responds to customers' evolving needs, its business may be adversely affected. • Yellow.ai may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors. • Yellow.ai may need to raise additional funds to pursue its growth strategy or continue its operations, and Yellow.ai may be unable to raise capital when needed or on acceptable terms. • Failure to effectively develop and expand Yellow.ai's marketing, sales, customer service, and content management capabilities could harm its ability to increase Yellow.ai's customer base and achieve broader market acceptance of Yellow.ai's platform. • If the availability of Yellow.ai's platform does not meet its service-level commitments to customers, Yellow.ai's current and future revenues may be negatively impacted. • Yellow.ai will have broad discretion in the use of proceeds from this offering and may invest or spend the proceeds in ways with which you do not agree and in ways that may not yield a return. • Yellow.ai is dependent on the continued services and performance of its senior management and other key employees, the loss of any of whom could adversely affect Yellow.ai's business, operating results and financial condition. • If Yellow.ai's software or platform contains serious errors or defects, Yellow.ai may lose revenues and market acceptance and may incur costs to defend or settle claims with its customers. • If Yellow.ai does not or cannot maintain the compatibility of its platform with third-party applications that its customers use in their businesses, Yellow.ai's revenues will decline. 34 Bluerock is subject to numerous risks factors, including but not limited to the following: • Bluerock may not be able to obtain the required shareholder approval to consummate the proposed transaction. • Bluerock Acquisition Holdings, LLC, Bluerock's sponsor (the "Sponsor"), and certain other shareholders of Bluerock have agreed to vote in favor of the proposed transaction, which may increase the likelihood that Bluerock will receive the requisite shareholder approval for the proposed transaction. • Bluerock cannot assure you that its due diligence review of Yellow.ai's business has identified all material issues or risks associated with Yellow.ai, its business, or the industry in which it operates. Additional information may later arise in connection with the preparation of the registration statement and proxy materials or after completion of the proposed transaction. If Bluerock's due diligence investigation of Yellow.ai's business was inadequate, then shareholders of the combined company following the proposed transaction could lose some or all of their investment. • The Sponsor and certain directors and officers of Bluerock have interests in the proposed transaction that are different from or are in addition to public shareholders, which may include direct or indirect ownership of Bluerock's founder shares and/or private placement warrants, each of which will lose their value if an initial business combination is not consummated. • The Sponsor and Bluerock's directors, executive officers and affiliates of Bluerock's management team may receive a positive return on their founder shares even if Bluerock's public shareholders experience a negative return on their investment after consummation of the proposed transaction. • Bluerock may be a passive foreign investment company, which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. investors. • Bluerock is an "emerging growth company" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and we believe that the combined company will qualify as an emerging growth company following the proposed Bluerock and the combined company intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies, which could make their securities laws attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare performance with other public companies. • If Bluerock is deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, it may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and its activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult to complete the proposed transaction or cause the parties to abandon their efforts to complete the proposed transaction. • In connection with the proposed transaction, the Sponsor and Bluerock's officers and directors and/or their respective affiliates may elect to purchase Class A ordinary shares from Bluerock's public shareholders, which may reduce the public float of the combined company's shares.
