Re: Amendment No. 5
Dear Fred:
Reference is made to (a) the Securities Purchase
Agreement, dated as of February 11, 2025 (as modified to the date hereof, the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among Profusa,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and permitted assigns, the “Company”), Ascent Partners Fund
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Ascent”) and the other Purchasers from time to time party thereto and Ascent,
as collateral agent for the Purchaser Parties, as defined therein (together with its successors and permitted assigns, the “Collateral
Agent”), and (b) that certain Warrant to Purchase Shares of Common Stock of the Company, issued by the Company to the Ascent
on April 20, 2026 (the “Warrant”).
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, and effective on the date hereof (the “Amendment Effective Date”), the following Transaction Documents are
hereby amended as follows:
Purchase Agreement
● The definition of “Amendment Effective Date” in Section 1.1 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby
deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“Amendment
Effective Date” has the meaning set forth in the first paragraph of Amendment No. 5 dated August 11, 2026.
● The definition of “Note” in Section 1.1 of the
Purchase Agreement is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following:
“Note”
means each Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note issued by the Company to an Initial Purchaser or an Additional Purchaser hereunder,
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-1, in the case of the Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes, issued to the
Purchaser in the First Tranche and the Second Tranche and in the case of any Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note issued in an Additional
Closing, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-2 or Exhibit A-3, as selected by the Purchaser in its sole discretion,
each with such changes satisfactory to such Purchaser and the Collateral Agent.
● The Purchase Agreement, is hereby amended by adding after Exhibits “A-1” and “A-2”
thereto an additional Exhibit “A-3” the form of Note attached hereto as “Exhibit A-3”. Effective as of the Amendment
Effective Date, each reference in the Purchase Agreement and in any other Transaction Document to the term “Note” shall be
deemed to refer to the forms of Note attached hereto as Exhibits “A-1,” “A-2” and “A-3”.
Warrant
● The “Exercise Price” of the Warrant set forth in Section 2 thereof is hereby amended to $1.07
per share of Warrant Securities (as defined there), as adjusted from to time pursuant to Section 5 of the Warrant.
This amendment is a Transaction Document and is
limited as written.
As of the date first written above, each reference
in the Purchase Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein,”
or words of like import, and each reference in the other Transaction Documents to the Purchase Agreement (including, without limitation,
by means of words like “thereunder,” “thereof” and words of like import), shall refer to the Purchase
Agreement as modified thereby, and the provisions in this amendment amending the Purchase Agreement shall be read together and construed
as a single agreement with the Purchase Agreement. As of the date first written above, each reference in the Warrant and each reference
in the other Transaction Documents to the Warrant, shall refer to the Warrant as modified thereby, and the provisions in this amendment
amending the Warrant shall be read together and construed as a single agreement with the Warrant. The execution, delivery and effectiveness
of this amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, (A) waive or modify any Default or Event of Default (whether or
not existing on the date hereof), right, power or remedy under, or any other provision of, any Transaction Document (in each case, other
than any failure to comply with any provision of a Transaction Document amended hereby that would not have been a failure if such Transaction
Document had been amended as provided herein prior to the date hereof) or (B) commit or otherwise obligate the Holder or the Collateral
Agent to enter into or consider entering into any other consent, waiver or modification of any Transaction Document or make any further
purchases or other advances pursuant to any Transaction Documents. This amendment does not constitute a novation of the Purchase Agreement
or the Warrant.
Each Company Party hereby agrees that it continues
to guaranty, jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, pursuant to the Guaranty, as primary obligor and not
merely as surety, the full and punctual payment when due of the Obligations of any other Company Party owing under the Transaction Document
as modified hereby (subject to the limitations set forth in the applicable Guaranty) and that the terms hereof shall not affect in any
way its obligations and liabilities, as expressly modified hereby, under the Transaction Documents. Each Company Party hereby reaffirms
(a) all of its obligations and liabilities under the Transaction Documents as modified hereby, and agrees that such obligations and
liabilities shall remain in full force and effect and (b) all Liens granted under the Transaction Documents, and agrees that such
Liens shall continue to secure the Obligations.
In further consideration for
the execution of this Amendment No. 5 by the Holder and without limiting any rights or remedies the Holder or any of its Related Parties
may have, each Company Party hereby releases each of the Holder and each of its Related Parties (each a “Releasee”
and, collectively, the “Releasees”) against any and all claims and from any other Losses of any Company Party or any
Subsidiary thereof, whether or not relating to any Transaction Document, any obligation or liability owing thereunder, any asset of any
Company Party or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any legal relationship that exists or may exist between any Releasee and
any Company Party or any Subsidiary of any Company Party. Each Company Party, each for itself and for its Subsidiaries, acknowledges and
agrees that it or its Subsidiaries may discover information later that could have affected materially their willingness to agree to the
release in this paragraph and that neither such possibility, which it took into account when executing this Amendment No. 5, nor such
discovery, as to which it expressly assumes the risk, shall affect the effectiveness of the release in this paragraph, and waives the
benefit of any legal requirement that may provide otherwise.
As a Transaction Document, this Amendment No.
5 is subject to various interpretative and miscellaneous sections set forth in the Purchase Agreement and other Transaction Documents
that apply expressly to all Transaction Documents, located principally in Article VI (Miscellaneous) of the Purchase Agreement
(but also, without limitation, in Section 4.14 (Indemnification) thereof), including Section 6.2 (Fees and Expenses) thereof
(which provides, without limitation, reimbursement to the Purchaser Parties for fees, costs and expenses of negotiation, preparation,
execution and signing of this Amendment No. 5 or otherwise relating to this Amendment No. 5 or the transactions contemplated herein) and
Sections 6.3(a) (Entire Agreement), 6.3(b) (Amendments), 6.3(c) (Beneficiary, Successors and Assigns), 6.3(d) (No Implied Waivers or
Notice Rights), 6.3(e) (Counterparts), Section 6.3(f) (Electronic Signatures), 6.4 (Notices), 6.7 (Severability) and 6.15 (Interpretation)
(containing various interpretative provisions and additional definitions) thereof. In addition, without limitation, (a) Section
6.6 (Governing Law and Courts) thereof provides that this Amendment No. 5 shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of Delaware and that Proceedings in respect hereto shall be brought exclusively in the Delaware state courts sitting
in Wilmington, DE or the federal courts for the District of Delaware sitting in Wilmington, DE (subject to certain exceptions for enforcement
Proceedings brought by the Collateral Agent or any Purchaser Party) and (b) in Section 6.16 (Waiver of Jury Trial, Certain
Other Rights), the parties thereto (which include the parties hereto) thereby irrevocably and unconditionally waived, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable Regulations, any right that they may have to trial by jury of any claim or cause of action or in any Proceeding,
directly or indirectly based upon or arising out of, under or in connection with, this amendment or the transactions contemplated therein
or related thereto (whether founded in contract, tort or any other theory). The parties hereto hereby reaffirm all of these and all
other provisions of the Transaction Documents applying to the Transaction Documents as applying to this Amendment No. 5, all of which
are hereby incorporated herein by reference. If the Amendment Effective Date has not occurred within two Business Days after the date
hereof, the Collateral Agent may, in its sole discretion upon notice to the Company, elect to terminate this Amendment No. 5, at which
point this Amendment No. 5 will be of no further force and effect.
- 2 -
This amendment may be executed in counterparts,
which may be effectively transmitted by fax or e-mail (in each case return receipt requested and obtained) and which, together, shall
constitute one and the same instrument.

Section
2. REPAYMENT
a) Amortization
of Principal. Commencing on December 1, 2026 and continuing on the first day of each calendar month thereafter (each an “Amortization
Payment Date”), the Company shall pay in full the portion of the principal amount of this Note set forth on Schedule 2 opposite
such date (each, an “Amortization Payment”). Each Amortization Payment may, at the option of the Company but subject
to the satisfaction of the Equity Payment Conditions on the date of such Amortization Payment (or due waiver by the Holder), be made
instead of cash in Common Stock valued at the Amortization Price on the date of such payment. In addition, the Company shall pay in full
on the Maturity Date all remaining Obligations then outstanding.
b) Mandatory
Prepayments. On the next Business Day following the Company consummating any public or private offering or any other issuance of any
Capital Stock (other than any issuance of Common Stock to the general public), Stock Equivalents or of any other Securities or Indebtedness
(including entering into any Equity Line of Credit or issuing any Variable-Priced Equity-Linked Instrument) or any other debt or equity
financing or capital-raising transaction of any kind (each a “Subsequent Offering”) on any date other than the Maturity
Date, the Company shall, subject to the Holder’s conversion rights set forth herein, pay to the Holder in cash an amount equal 33%
of the net proceeds of such Subsequent Offering, to repay the Obligations (a “Mandatory Prepayment Amount”). The Mandatory
Prepayment Amount shall not be subject to the Cash Payment Fee. The Company shall provide notice to the Holder of the closing of such
Subsequent Offering, including the expected net proceeds thereof, not later than the 10th day preceding the date of consummation
of such Subsequent Offering, which notice shall be irrevocable and constitute an agreement to pay the Mandatory Prepayment Amount on the
date of consummation of such Subsequent Offering. The Holder may continue to convert the principal amounts to be prepaid under this Note
until the date of consummation of such Subsequent Offering; provided, that, if the Company does not provide such notice, in addition
to all other remedies provided under the Transaction Documents for failure to comply with this Note, the Holder may convert the Note in
the amount of such payment and, in its sole discretion, either return such payment or apply such payment to other outstanding Obligations,
if any. In the event that the terms of the Subsequent Offering do not provide for the repayment in cash in full of all outstanding Obligations,
the Holder may choose, in its sole discretion, to adjust the Conversion Price to match the price of the Common Stock issued or implied
by such Subsequent Offering. This Section 2(b) is merely a requirement to redeem this Note and not an authorization to consummate
any Subsequent Offering otherwise prohibited by the Transaction Documents.
c) Voluntary
Prepayments. So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, at any time upon ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice
to the Holder (which notice shall be a Transaction Document and constitute an irrevocable agreement to pay such amount on the date set
forth on such notice) stating the proposed date and proposed principal amount of such prepayment, but subject to the Holder’s conversion
rights set forth herein, the Company may prepay any portion of the principal amount of this Note, any accrued and unpaid interest, and
any other amounts due under this Note. If the Company exercises its right to prepay the Note, instead of such principal amount, the Company
shall pay to the Holder in cash an amount equal to the full Optional Prepayment Amount for such principal amount prepaid. The Holder may
continue to convert the principal amount of the Note to be prepaid after the date notice of the prepayment is given until the date it
receives such Optional Prepayment Amount in full in cash.
d) Interest.
The Company shall pay interest to the Holder on the aggregate then-outstanding principal amount of this Note (and the then-outstanding
principal amount of any other Obligation owing that does not expressly provide for any other rate of interest), which shall accrue daily
at the rate of seven percent (7%) per annum from the date this Note is issued (or in the case of any other Obligation, from the date such
obligation becomes due and payable) through the date such principal amount or other Obligation is paid in full. Accrued and unpaid interest
shall be due and payable on the first day of each calendar month, on each Conversion Date and on the Maturity Date, or as otherwise set
forth herein. Any interest accrued and unpaid on any principal amount, shall be due and payable upon any repayment of such principal amount
under this Note. Subject to satisfaction (or due waiver by the Holder) of the Equity Payment Conditions on the date of such payment, interest
may be paid in Common Stock in the Company’s discretion at the Amortization Price. Upon an Event of Default, the interest rate set
forth hereunder shall increase as provided in clause (e) below.
e) Default
Rate. Immediately on and after the occurrence of any Event of Default, without need for notice or demand all of which are waived,
interest on this Note shall, in whole, automatically and without the need for any notice, demand or any other action by the Collateral
Agent or the Holder all of which are hereby waived, accrue and be owed daily at an increased interest rate equal to the lower of the Default
Rate or the maximum rate permitted under applicable Regulations. If an Event of Default (after giving effect to notice periods and grace
periods) occurs, the Default Rate shall become effective as of the date the Default that became such Event of Default first occurred,
without consideration for any notice provision or grace period.
8
f) Late
Fee. The Company shall pay a late fee (each a “Late Fee”) on any Obligation that is not paid when due (after taking
into account applicable grace periods set forth in Section 7(a)(i) hereof), in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of such payment, to
the Person owed such Obligation. This Late Fee shall be due and payable immediately upon such failure. It is intended to cover the inconvenience
and additional internal, administrative and other fees, costs and expenses involved in processing delinquent payments and is not to be
construed to cover or be applied against any indemnity or any out-of-pocket fees, costs or expenses incurred in any action to collect
any Obligation or to foreclose any Lien securing the same. This provision shall not affect or limit the Holder’s rights or remedies
with respect to any Event of Default. This obligation to pay a Late Fee is a separate obligation and, once it has arisen hereunder, a
failure to pay such Late Fee will not be cured implicitly by any waiver of any Event of Default or similar event that may have caused
the payment that gave rise to such Late Fee.
g) Cash
Payment Fee. The Company shall pay a cash payment fee (each a “Cash Payment Fee”) in an amount equal to five percent
(5%) of the amount of any repayment of the principal amount of this Note that is made in cash at any time when (i) the Company shall not
have received a notice from the Holder or the Collateral Agent that an Event of Default exists, or (ii) the Company shall have received
such a notice and such Event of Default shall have been cured to the satisfaction of the Holder. This Cash Payment Fee shall be due and
payable together with such repayment and is intended to cover any loss in revenues resulting from such repayment being made in cash instead
of using Common Stock, as well as other internal costs and expenses and is not to be construed to cover or be applied against any indemnity
or any out-of-pocket fees, costs or expenses incurred in any action to collect any Obligation or to foreclose any Lien securing the same.
The Cash Payment Fee shall not be applicable to the payment of any Mandatory Prepayment Amount. This provision shall not affect or limit
the Holder’s rights or remedies with respect to any Event of Default. This obligation to pay a Cash Payment Fee is a separate obligation
hereunder and, once arisen, shall be owed regardless of whether such payment is later returned, reversed, forgiven, waived or voided.
h) Calculations
and Payment Provisions. All payments made to the Holder, the Collateral Agent and their Purchaser Parties under any Transaction Document,
except as otherwise expressly provided in any Transaction Document, shall be made in cash, which shall mean in immediately available dollars
and without set off or counterclaim. Interest and fees owing to any of them shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting
of twelve thirty (30)-day periods, for the actual number of days occurring, in whole or in part, in the applicable period. The Holder
(or, for payments owing to it, the Collateral Agent) shall have the option to refuse or accept, in their sole discretion, any payment
to the Collateral Agent, the Holder or their Purchaser Parties attempted to be made without a required notice, without a required Optional
Prepayment Amount or a required fee. The Holder (or, for payments owing to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent) may, in its sole
discretion, apply or recharacterize any payment made under any Transaction Document to the payment of any outstanding Obligation, regardless
of the intended characterization thereof by any Company Party, including by recharacterizing a payment of principal made to a payment
of an Optional Prepayment Amount, or a required fee, even if this characterization results in a smaller payment of principal. The Company
hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any payment (or, after any Event of Default, any proceeds of Collateral)
to any Obligation. Whenever any payment under any Transaction Document shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such
payment shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day, including for purposes of the calculation of interest and fees. Any payment
of any Obligation received by the Holder, the Collateral Agent or any Purchaser Party after 3 p.m. on any day shall be deemed received
on the next Business Day. Each determination by the Holder (or, for payments owing to it, the Collateral Agent) of an amount of interest
or fee due hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Section
3. Registration of Transfers and Exchanges
a) Different
Denominations. This Note is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be payable for such registration of transfer or exchange.
b) Investment
Representations. This Note has been issued subject to certain investment representations of the original Holder and may be transferred
or exchanged only in compliance with applicable federal and state securities Regulations.
c) Reliance
on Note Register. The Company shall maintain in its records a list of the Holders and of registration and transfers of the Note (the
“Note Register”). The initial Holder is listed herein. Any Holder may later notify in writing the Company of an assignment
or transfer and the Company shall notify such transfer in the Note Register. Failure by the Company to duly notify such transfer in the
Note Register shall not affect the validity of such assignment or transfer. Nevertheless, if the Company has not received notice of any
transfer of this Note, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the Person in whose name this Note is duly registered as the
owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue.
Upon request by the Holder, the Company shall immediately execute and deliver to such Holder replacement Note or Notes, which may involve
executing multiple Notes with split amounts to reflect partial assignments. Promptly upon receipt of such replacement Note or Notes, such
Holder shall deliver the original Note back to the Company or, if the original Note is lost or stolen, provide an affidavit to the Company
to that effect.

Section
4. Conversion
a) Voluntary
Conversion. At any time after the Original Issue Date, all Obligations with respect to this Note shall be convertible, in whole or
in part, into shares of Common Stock at the option of the Holder, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time (subject to
the conversion limitations set forth in Section 4(d)). The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company a Notice
of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (each, a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying
therein the amount of such Obligations to be converted and the date on which such conversion shall be effected (such date, the “Conversion
Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice
of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder. No ink-original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee
(or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be required. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder
shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless the entire principal amount of this Note, plus all accrued
and unpaid interest thereon, has been converted. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount
of this Note by an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Holder and the Company shall maintain a Conversion Schedule, containing
at a minimum the information shown on Schedule 1, and showing historically, among other things, the principal amounts converted
and the date of such conversions. The Company may deliver an objection to any Notice of Conversion within one (1) Business Day of delivery
of such Notice of Conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative
in the absence of manifest error.
b) Conversion
Price. The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to $1.07; provided, that in no event shall the Conversion
Price be less than the Floor Price. The Conversion Price, will be proportionately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock
combination, reclassification or similar transaction that decreases or increases the number of shares of Common Stock issued to ensure
that, in the case of the Conversion Price, the percentage of shares of Common Stock held by the Holder upon full conversion at the Conversion
Price and, in each case, that the percentage of the value of the Company allocated to such Common Stock, both remain unchanged by any
such transaction. Upon such adjustment, the Conversion Price shall be rounded down to the nearest $0.01.
c) Mechanics
of Conversion.
i. Conversion
Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be
determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal amount and interest of this Note to be converted by (y)
the Conversion Price.
ii. Delivery
of Certificate Upon Conversion. Not later than one (1) Trading Day after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”),
the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares which,
on or after the date on which such Conversion Shares are eligible to be sold under Rule 144 without the need for current public information
and the Company has received an opinion of counsel to such effect, which such opinion must be acceptable to the Holder in its sole and
absolute discretion (which opinion the Company shall be responsible for obtaining at its sole cost and expense) shall be free of restrictive
legends and trading restrictions, representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of this Note. Each certificate
required to be delivered by the Company under this Section 4(c) shall be delivered electronically through the Depository Trust
Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions. If the Conversion Date is prior to the date on which
such Conversion Shares are eligible to be sold under Rule 144 without the need for current public information, or there is no registration
statement in effect covering the Conversion Shares, the Conversion Shares shall bear a restrictive legend in the following form, as appropriate:
“THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES REGULATIONS. 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 (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL
BE SELECTED BY THE HOLDER), IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS 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.”
10
Notwithstanding the foregoing, commencing
on such date that the Conversion Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 subject to current public information requirements, the Company,
upon written request and at the sole cost and expense of the Company, shall obtain a legal opinion that is acceptable to the Holder in
its sole and absolute discretion, to allow for such sales under Rule 144.
iii. Reservation
of Conversion Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued
shares of Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal the Reserve Amount for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion
of this Note and payment of interest on this Note, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent
purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Purchase Agreement Notes). The Company covenants that all
shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
The Company shall calculate and readjust the Reserve Amount on the first Business Day of each month so long as any Purchased Security
remains outstanding.
iv. Fractional
Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Note. As to any fraction
of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall at its election, either pay
a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up
to the next whole share.
v. Transfer
Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Note shall be made without charge
to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates,
provided, that, the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of this Note so converted and the
Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof
shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been
paid. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion
vi. Failure
to Deliver Certificates. If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as
directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at
any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Company shall promptly
return to the Holder any original Note delivered to the Company and the Holder shall promptly return to the Company the Common Stock certificates
issued to the Holder pursuant to the rescinded Notice of Conversion.
11
vii. Obligation
Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver
the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of
any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, the existence of any Default or Event of Default, any waiver or consent with
respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company
or any violation or alleged violation of Regulations by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which
might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided,
that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against the Holder. In the event
the Holder of this Note shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal or interest amount hereof, the Company may not
refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation
of Regulation, Contractual Obligation or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and
or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Note shall have been sought. If the injunction is not granted, the Company shall promptly
comply with all conversion obligations herein. If the injunction is obtained, the Company must post a surety bond for the benefit of the
Holder in the amount of one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, which is subject to the injunction,
which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall
be payable to the Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of seeking such injunction, the Company shall issue Conversion
Shares (or, where applicable and required hereunder, cash), upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Company fails for any reason to
deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii) by the Share Delivery Date, the Company shall
pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, $1,000 per Trading Day for each Trading Day after such Share Delivery
Date until such certificates are delivered or Holder rescinds such conversion. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue
actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 7 for the Company’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares
within the period specified herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in
equity including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder
from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable Regulation.
viii. Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if
the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section
4(c)(ii), and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction
or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by
the Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date
(a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to
or elected by the Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions)
for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder was entitled
to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation
was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of the Holder, in its sole discretion, either reissue (if surrendered)
this Note in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted conversion (in which case such conversion shall be deemed
rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied
with its delivery requirements under Section 4(c)(ii). For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase
price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of this Note with respect to which the actual sale price of
the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause
(A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company
written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the
amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law
or in equity including 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 upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
12
ix. No
Limitation on Damages. More generally, nothing in this Section 4, including the availability of the option to convert the Note,
shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 7 and the Holder
shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including a decree of specific performance
and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any rights under this Section 4 shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce
damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable Regulation.
d) Holder’s
Conversion Limitations. The Company shall not effect any conversion of principal or interest of this Note, and the Holder shall not
have the right to convert any principal or interest of this Note, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on
the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together
with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates, the “Attribution Parties”) would beneficially own in excess
of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Holder and its Attribution Parties shall include the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of
this Note with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
(i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Attribution
Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other Securities of the Company subject
to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including any other Notes) beneficially owned
by the Holder or any of its Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(d),
beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4(d) applies, the determination of whether this Note is
convertible (in relation to other Securities owned by the Holder together with any Attribution Parties) and of which principal amount
of this Note is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed
to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Note may be converted (in relation to other Securities owned by the Holder together
with any Attribution Parties) and which principal amount of this Note is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, the Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a
Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Company shall
have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated
above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For
purposes of this Section 4(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual
report filed with the SEC, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (iii) a more recent written notice
by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written
or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within two (2) Trading Days confirm orally and in writing 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 or its Attribution Parties since
the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”
shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of all Conversion
Shares to be held by the Holder. The Holder, upon not less than sixty-one (61) days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or
decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(d); provided, that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares
of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note held by the Holder. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the sixty-first
(61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph
shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(d) to correct
this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained
herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained
in this Section 4(d) shall apply to a successor Holder of this Note.
13
e) Exchange
Cap. The Company shall not issue any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this
Note if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may
issue upon conversion of this Note or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Note without breaching the Company’s obligations under
the rules or regulations of the Principal Trading Market for the Common Stock (the number of shares which may be issued without violating
such rules and regulations, the “Exchange Cap”), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the
Company (i) obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of such Principal Trading Market for issuances
of shares of Common Stock in excess of such amount or (ii) obtains a written opinion from outside counsel to the Company that such approval
is not required, which opinion shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder. Until such approval or such written
opinion is obtained, the Holder shall not be issued in the aggregate, upon conversion of this Note or otherwise pursuant to the terms
of this Note, shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of (A) the Exchange Cap as of the proposed date of issuance
for such shares multiplied by (B) the quotient of (1) the aggregate original Principal Amount of this Note when issued to the applicable
Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement divided by (2) the aggregate original Principal Amount of all Purchase Agreement Notes when
issued (the “Exchange Cap Allocation”). In the event that the Holder sells or otherwise transfer any portion of this
Note, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the Holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation with respect to such portion
of this Note so transferred, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of
the Exchange Cap Allocation so allocated to such transferee. Upon conversion in full of any holder of any Purchase Agreement Note, the
difference (if any) between such holder’s “exchange cap allocation” (under and as defined in such Purchase Agreement
Note) and the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued to such holder upon such holder’s conversion in full of any Purchase
Agreement Note shall be allocated to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining holders of such Purchase Agreement Notes
(including the Holder) on a pro rata basis in proportion to the shares of Common Stock underlying such Purchase Agreement Notes then held
by each such holder. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 4(e)(the
“Exchange Cap Shares”) to the Holder, the Company shall pay cash to the Holder in exchange for the redemption of such
portions of this Note that are not convertible into such Exchange Cap Shares at a price equal to the sum of (A) the product of (1) such
number of Exchange Cap Shares and (2) the Closing Sale Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date the Holder delivers the
applicable Notice of Conversion with respect to such Exchange Cap Shares to the Company, and (B) 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 Exchange Cap Shares,
brokerage commissions, if any, of the Holder incurred in connection therewith.
Section
5. Certain Adjustments
a) Stock
Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes
a Restricted Payment payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt,
shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon conversion of, or payment of interest on, this Note), (ii) subdivides
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock,
any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be
the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event, and of
which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant
to this Section 5(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination
or re-classification.
b) Change
in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any options to purchase Common Stock, the
additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Stock Equivalents into Common Stock,
or the rate at which any Stock Equivalents are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or
decreases at any time (other than any change to the Conversion Price in this Note or any changes to the exercise price in the Warrants),
the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to account proportionately, for such increase
or decrease. For purposes of this Section 5(b), if the terms of any option or Stock Equivalents are increased or decreased in the
manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such option or Stock Equivalents 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 5(b) shall be made to the Conversion Price if such adjustment would result in an increase to the Conversion
Price.
14
c) Subsequent
Equity Sales. If any Company Party or any Subsidiary thereof, at any time while any Obligation is outstanding or the Holder has not
yet received any Conversion Shares in connection with a conversion, shall sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right
to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any shares
of Common Stock or Stock Equivalents convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock, in each case other than as an Exempt Issuance, at
an effective price per share that, after giving effect to any other adjustment provided in this Note, is less than the Conversion Price
then in effect (such lower price, the “Base Share Price” and such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”)
then, simultaneously with the consummation of each Dilutive Issuance the Conversion Price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal the
Base Share Price. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that if a holder of the shares of Common Stock or Stock Equivalents
so issued shall, at any time after the issuance, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion,
exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance,
be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is less than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall
be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance at such effective price. Such adjustment
shall be made whenever such shares of Common Stock or Stock Equivalents are issued. No later than 8:00 am on the Trading Day following
the issuance or deemed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 5(c), the Company shall
(i) notify the Holder, in writing, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion
price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”) and (ii) publicly disclose the transaction
resulting in such issuance or deemed issuance in a filing with the SEC. For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides
a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 5(c), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled
to receive a number of Conversion Shares based upon the Base Share Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base
Share Price in the Notice of Conversion.
d) Pro
Rata Distributions. While this Note is outstanding, the Company shall not declare or make any Restricted Payment (or rights to receive
Restricted Payments). In the event that the Note is repaid at the time of such Restricted Payment, the Holder shall not be entitled to
participate in such Restricted Payment. If the Holder and the Company mutually agree, and the Note is not repaid at the time of such Restricted
Payment, then the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Restricted Payment to the same extent that the Holder would have participated
therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Note (without regard to
any limitations on exercise hereof, including the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken
for such Restricted Payment, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to
be determined for the participation in such Restricted Payment (provided, that to the extent that the Holder's right to participate
in any such Restricted Payment would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be
entitled to participate in such Restricted Payment to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result
of such Restricted Payment to such extent) and the portion of such Restricted Payment shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the
Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
15
e) Effect
of Fundamental Transactions. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Holder, upon any subsequent conversion of this
Note, shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior
to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 4(c) on the conversion of this Note),
any consideration receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which
this Note is convertible (or holder of any equity Securities of any Company Party) immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without
regard to any limitation in Section 4(c) on the conversion of this Note) (the “Alternate Consideration”), including
shares of Common Stock of any successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, in the case of a merger where it is the surviving
entity. To the extent such Alternate Consideration includes Securities, the Holder shall have the option to either treat the Note as converted
on the date of consummation of such Fundamental Transaction and obtain such Securities outright or adjust the Conversion Shares to include
such additional Securities. For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted
to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock
in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company Parties shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable
manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. In a Fundamental Transaction where holders
of Common Stock (or, as the case may be, Securities of any Company Party) are given any choice as to the Alternate Consideration to be
received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon
any conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any acquiring, successor, surviving or replacement
entities in any Fundamental Transaction (the “Successor Entity”) to become a Company Party effective immediately upon
the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction and shall become a party to all Transaction Documents in the same capacity and to the
same extent as the Company Party involved in such Fundamental Transaction and, if such Fundamental Transaction involves the Company, from
and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company”
shall, without any further action, refer instead to the Successor Entity or to both Companies, as appropriate. In the case of a Fundamental
Transaction resulting in the Company no longer being in existence, the Successor Entity shall succeed to all obligations of the Company
and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the Obligations of the Company with the same effect as if
such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. The parties hereto shall amend all Transaction Documents (or execute new Transaction
Documents, including replacement Notes and an assumption of the Company’s Obligations) to reflect such change; provided that
the failure to amend or execute any such Transaction Document shall not render this clause (e) ineffective. For the avoidance
of doubt, this clause (e) is not intended to permit any Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall ensure that the Holder
approves all drafts of such amendments and new Transaction Documents prior to the consummation of, and as a condition to the consummation
of, such Fundamental Transaction. Without limitation, if the Fundamental Transaction involves the Company, the definition of Conversion
Shares and Conversion Price hereunder shall be adjusted to include Securities of the Successor Entity and to ensure the new Notes of the
Holder convert into Securities so as to protect the economic value of this Note, taking into account the relative values of the existing
and replacement Conversion Shares, and give the Holder upon conversion of this Note the Conversion Shares equivalent to the Conversion
Shares it would have received upon conversion of this Note prior to such Fundamental Transaction at an equivalent Conversion Price.
f) Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.
For purposes of this Section 5, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall
be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) issued and outstanding.
g) Notices
to the Holder.
i. Adjustments
to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 5, the Company shall
not later than 8:00 am on the Trading Day following such adjustment (i) deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price
after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of all of the facts requiring such adjustment and the calculation thereof, and (ii)
publicly disclose the transaction resulting in such adjustment in a filing with the SEC. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5
to the contrary, no adjustment pursuant to this Section 5 shall increase the Conversion Price other than proportional increases
upon the occurrence of a reverse stock split in accordance with Section 5(a). For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder will be entitled
to each such adjustment on the terms set forth in this Agreement whether or not the Company provides such notice, and the calculation
set forth in such notice shall not be binding on the Holder.
16
ii. Notice
to Allow Conversion by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution or other Restricted Payment
in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common
Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase
any shares of Capital Stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection
with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other Securities,
cash or property or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs
of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion
of this Note, and shall cause to be delivered to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Note Register, at least twenty
(20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record
is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the
date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, Restricted Payment, redemption,
rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share
exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record
shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for Securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein
or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. The Holder shall
remain entitled to convert this Note during the 20-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the
event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.
Section
6. NEGATIVE COVENANTS

7. Events of Default

limitation, a dispute relating to the determination of any of the foregoing), the Company or the Holder (as the case may be) shall submit
the dispute to the other party via facsimile or electronic transmission (A) if by the Company, within two (2) Trading Days after the occurrence
of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute or (B) if by the Holder at any time after the Holder learned of the circumstances giving

resolve such dispute.
ii. The
Holder and the Company shall each deliver to such investment bank (A) a copy of the initial dispute submission so delivered in accordance

Trading Day immediately following the date on which the Holder selected such investment bank (the “Dispute Submission Deadline”)
. If either party fails to so deliver all of the Required Dispute Documentation by the Dispute Submission Deadline, then such party shall
no longer be entitled to (and hereby waives its right to) deliver or submit any document or other supporting evidence to such investment
bank with respect to such dispute and such investment bank shall resolve such dispute based solely on the Required Dispute Documentation
that was delivered to such investment bank prior to the Dispute Submission Deadline. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by both the
Company and the Holder or otherwise requested by such investment bank, neither the Company nor the Holder shall be entitled to deliver
or submit any written documentation or other support to such investment bank in connection with such dispute other than the Required Dispute
Documentation.
iii. The
Company and the Holder shall ensure that such investment bank determines the resolution of such dispute and notify the Company and the
Holder of such resolution no later than ten (10) Trading Days immediately following the Dispute Submission Deadline. The fees and expenses
of such investment bank shall be borne solely by the Company, and such investment bank’s resolution of such dispute shall be final
and binding upon all parties absent manifest error.

than those of the State of Delaware). Any such Proceeding shall be brought exclusively in the Delaware state courts sitting in
Wilmington, DE or the federal courts of the United States of America for the District of Delaware sitting in Wilmington, DE; provided,

of process in such Section 6.6.

be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of

for collection or enforcement or is collected or enforced through any Proceeding or the Holder otherwise takes action to collect amounts
due under this Note or to enforce the provisions of this Note or (ii) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of the
Company or other Proceedings affecting Company creditors' rights and involving a claim under this Note, then the Company shall pay all

in trading Securities of the Company.
l) Public
Disclosures. The Company Parties and the Holder shall consult with each other in issuing any other public disclosure with respect
to the transactions contemplated hereby, and no Company Party or the Holder shall issue any such public disclosure nor otherwise make
any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company and the Holder, each of which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld
or delayed, except if such disclosure is reasonably viewed as required by any Regulation, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly
provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Company Party shall,
and each Company Party shall ensure that their Subsidiaries do not, publicly disclose the name, trademark, service mark, symbol, logo
(or any abbreviation, contraction or simulation thereof) of, or otherwise refer to, the Holder or any other Purchaser Party (including
in any filing with the SEC, regulatory agency or Trading Market for any Securities of any Company Party or their Subsidiaries, including
the 8-K filing referenced above) without the prior consent of the Holder and the Collateral Agent (including in any press release, letterhead,
public announcement or marketing material), except, and then only after consulting with such Holder and the Collateral Agent, to the extent
required to do so under applicable Regulations (including as required in any registration statement filed with the SEC). None of the Company
Parties and their Affiliates shall represent that any Company Party or any of its Affiliates, any product or service of the Company Parties
or their Affiliates, or any know how or policy or practice of the Company Parties or their Affiliates has been approved or endorsed by
any Purchaser Party.

in such capacity, including Article V (Collateral Agent) thereof that describes its relationship with the Collateral Agent
and contains an indemnification provision in Section 5.9 (Indemnification) thereof. Finally, in addition to these provisions, unless
otherwise expressly provided in any Transaction Document, “outstanding” when referring in any Transaction Document
to the principal amount owing under this Note shall mean “outstanding and unconverted.”

unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not affect any part of such provision not held illegal, invalid or unenforceable, any other provision
of this Note or any part of such provision in any other jurisdiction, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transaction contemplated
hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any party.

directly or indirectly with respect to, or directly or indirectly based upon or arising out of, under or in connection with this Note
or any other Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated therein or related thereto (whether founded in contract, tort or any
other theory). Each party hereto (A) certifies that no other party, no Purchaser Party and no Affiliate of any of them and no attorney,
agent or other representative of any of the foregoing has represented, expressly or otherwise, that any Person would not, in the event

Account. Such Holder understands that the Preferred Stock are “restricted securities” and have not been registered
under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Preferred Stock as principal for its own
account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Preferred Stock or Underlying Shares or any part thereof in
violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such
Preferred Stock or Underlying Shares in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or

limiting the Holder’s right to sell the Preferred Stock and the Underlying Shares pursuant to a registration statement, as may
be amended or supplemented from time to time, including, without limitation, pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise in compliance
with applicable federal and state securities laws). Such Holder is acquiring the Preferred Stock hereunder in the ordinary course of
its business.
9
(c) Holder
Status. At the time the Holder was offered the Preferred Stock, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on which
it converts any Preferred Stock it will be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7),
(a)(8), (a)(9), (a)(12) or (a)(13) under the Securities Act.
(d) Experience
of Such Holder. Such Holder, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience
in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Preferred
Stock, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Holder is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in
the Preferred Stock and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
(e) General
Solicitation. Such Holder is not, to the Holder’s knowledge, purchasing the Preferred Stock as a result of any advertisement,
article, notice or other communication regarding the Preferred Stock published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast

(f) Access
to Information. Such Holder acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including all

necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Exchange; (ii)
access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and
prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that
the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment
decision with respect to the investment.

Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, the Holder has not, nor has
any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with the Holder, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or
sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that the Holder first
received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material
terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the case of a Holder that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate
portions of the Holder’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the
portfolio managers managing other portions of the Holder’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 complete the Exchange covered
by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement or to the Holder’s representatives, including, without
limitation, its officers, directors, partners, legal and other advisors, employees, agents and Affiliates, the Holder has maintained
the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this
transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 the Holder (or its broker or other financial
representative) to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.
10
The Company acknowledges
and agrees that the representations contained in this Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect the Holder’s right to rely on
the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any
other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute
a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to locating or borrowing shares in order to effect Short Sales or
similar transactions in the future.
ARTICLE IV.
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1 Transfer Restrictions.
(a) The
Preferred Stock and the Underlying Shares may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection
with any transfer of any Preferred Stock or Underlying Shares other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144,
to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Holder or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require
the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company,
the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require
registration of such transferred securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing
to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of a Holder under this Agreement.
(b) The
Holder agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Preferred Stock and the Underlying
Shares in substantially the following form:
[NEITHER] THIS SECURITY
[NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS CONVERTIBLE HAS [NOT] BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE
SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT
AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS SECURITY]
MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION
THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
The Company acknowledges
and agrees that a Holder may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant
a security interest in some or all of the Preferred Stock and the Underlying Shares to a financial institution that is an “accredited
investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, the Holder may
transfer pledged or secured Preferred Stock and Underlying Shares to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would
not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required
in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Holder’s expense, the Company will
execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Preferred Stock and Underlying Shares may reasonably
request in connection with a pledge or transfer of such securities, including, if the Underlying Shares are subject to registration, the
preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or other applicable provision
of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of selling stockholders thereunder.
(c) Certificates
evidencing the Underlying Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (i) while a
registration statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such
Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Underlying Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the volume or
manner-of-sale restrictions or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including
judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a
legal opinion to the Transfer Agent and, to the extent requested the Holder promptly after such time as such legend is no longer
required under this Section 4.1(c), and in any event within such time as to enable the Transfer Agent to remove the legend hereunder
by the Legend Removal Date, if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder, or if requested by a
Holder, respectively. If all or any Preferred Stock is converted at a time when there is an effective registration statement to
cover the resale of the Underlying Shares, or if such Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without volume or manner-of-sale
restrictions or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial
interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such Underlying Shares shall be issued free of all
legends. The Company agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than
the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following the
delivery by a Holder to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Underlying Shares, as applicable, issued
with a restrictive legend (such date, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder
a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on
its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4.
Certificates for Underlying Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to each applicable
Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by the
Holder. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number
of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery
of a certificate representing Underlying Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend.
11
(d) In
addition to the Holder’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Holder, in cash, as partial liquidated damages
and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Underlying Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such Underlying Shares
are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.1(c), $10 per Trading
Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the
Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend to the extent permitted by Section 4.1(c) above.
(e) The
Holder, agrees with the Company that the Holder will sell any Preferred Stock and Underlying Shares pursuant to either the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if
Underlying Shares are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth
therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Underlying Shares as set forth in
this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.
4.2 Acknowledgment
of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its
obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Underlying Shares pursuant
to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or
reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against the Holder and regardless of the
dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.
4.3 Furnishing of Information; Public Information.
(a) Until
the earlier of the time that no Holder owns any Preferred Stock or Underlying Shares, the Company covenants to maintain the registration
of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to use reasonable best efforts to timely file (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 the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.
(b) At
any time ending at such time that all of the Preferred Stock and Underlying Shares may be sold without the requirement for the Company
to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if the Company (i) shall
fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) or (ii) has ever been an issuer described
in Rule 144 (i)(1)(i) or becomes an issuer in the future, and the Company shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2)
(a “Public Information Failure”) then, in addition to the Holder’s other available remedies, the Company shall
pay to a Holder, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability
to sell the Preferred Stock and Underlying Shares, an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate Stated Value of the
Holder’s Preferred Stock on the 10th day following a Public Information Failure which remains uncured as of such date and on every
thirtieth (30th) day thereafter (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the earlier of (a) the date such
Public Information Failure is cured and (b) such time that such public information is no longer required for the Holder to transfer the
Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144. The payments to which a Holder shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.3 are referred to
herein as “Public Information Failure Payments.” Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of
(i) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred and (ii) the third (3rd) Business
Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured. In the event the Company fails to make
Public Information Failure Payments in a timely manner, such Public Information Failure Payments shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5%
per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual damages
for the Public Information Failure, and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including,
without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.

or sale of the Preferred Stock and for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require
shareholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of
such subsequent transaction.
4.5 Conversion

procedures required of the Holder in order to convert the Preferred Stock. Without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original Notice

form be required in order to convert the Preferred Stock. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required
of the Holder to convert their Preferred Stock. The Company shall honor conversions of the Preferred Stock and shall deliver Underlying

or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or agents. In addition, effective upon the issuance of such Current
Report on Form 8-K, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether
written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, Affiliates
or agents, on the one hand, and the Holder or any of its Affiliates on the other hand, shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.
The Company understands and confirms that the Holder shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities
of the Company. The Company and the Holder shall consult with each other in issuing any press releases with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor the Holder shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement
without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of the Holder, or without the prior consent of the Holder,
with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure
is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement
or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of the Holder, or include the name of
the Holder in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of the Holder,
except (a) as required by federal securities law or rule or form promulgated thereunder in connection with the filing of final Transaction
Documents with the Commission and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or rule or form promulgated thereunder or Trading
Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Holder with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause
(b) and reasonably cooperate with the Holder regarding such disclosure.

13
4.8 Non-Public
Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents,
which shall be disclosed pursuant to Section 4.6, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its
behalf will provide the Holder or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes, or the Company reasonably believes constitutes,
material non-public information, unless prior thereto the Holder shall have consented in writing to the receipt of such information and
agreed in writing with the Company to keep such information confidential. The Company understands and confirms that the Holder shall be
relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. To the extent that the Company, any of its Subsidiaries,
or any of their respective officers, director, agents, employees or Affiliates delivers any material, non-public information to a Holder
without the Holder’s consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Holder shall not have any duty of confidentiality
to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or agents, or a duty to
the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or agents, not to trade on
the basis of, such material, non-public information, provided that the Holder shall remain subject to applicable law. To the extent that
any notice provided pursuant to any Transaction Document constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company
or any Subsidiaries, unless the Holder has consented in writing to the receipt of such material non-public information, the Company shall
simultaneously with the delivery of such notice file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company
understands and confirms that the Holder shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
4.9 Reserved.
4.10 Indemnification
of Holder. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Company will indemnify and hold the Holder and its directors,
officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a
Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls the Holder (within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents,
members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles
notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Holder Party”)
harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all
judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any the
Holder Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants
or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against the
Holder Parties in any capacity (including a Holder Party’s status as an investor), or any of them or their respective
Affiliates, by the Company or any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of the Holder Party, arising out of or relating
to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification provided
herein is intended to, and shall also cover, direct claims brought by the Company against the Holder Parties; provided, however,
that such indemnification shall not cover any loss, claim, damage or liability to the extent it is finally judicially determined to
be attributable to the Holder Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the
Holder Party in any Transaction Document or any conduct by a Holder Party which is finally judicially determined to constitute
fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any action shall be brought against the Holder Party in respect of which indemnity
may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, the Holder Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and, except with respect to
direct claims brought by the Company, the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own
choosing reasonably acceptable to the Holder Party. The Holder Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such
action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Holder Party
except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company
has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the
reasonable opinion of counsel to the applicable Holder Party (which may be internal counsel), a material conflict on any material
issue between the position of the Company and the position of the Holder Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for
the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to the Holder Party under
this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Holder Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is
attributable to the Holder Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the
Holder Party in this Agreement or any conduct by the Holder Party which is finally judicially determined to constitute fraud, gross
negligence or willful misconduct. In addition, if the Holder Party takes actions to collect amounts due under any Transaction
Documents or to enforce the provisions of any Transaction Documents, then the Company shall pay the costs incurred by the Holder
Party for such collection, enforcement or action, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and disbursements. The
indemnification and other payment obligations required by this Section 4.10 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof
during the course of the investigation, defense, collection, enforcement or action, as and when bills are received or are incurred; provided,
that if the Holder Party is finally judicially determined not to be entitled to indemnification or payment under this Section 4.10,
the Holder Party shall promptly reimburse the Company for any payments that are advanced under this sentence. The indemnity
agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of the Holder Party against the Company or
others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.
14
4.11 Reservation and Listing of Securities.
(a) The
Company shall maintain a reserve of the Required Minimum from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the
Transaction Documents in such amount as may then be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents.
(b) If,
on any date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) shares of Common Stock is less than the Required Minimum
on such date, then the Board of Directors shall use its reasonable efforts to amend the Company’s certificate or articles of incorporation
to increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to at least the Required Minimum at such time, as soon as possible
and in any event not later than the 60th day after such date.
(c) The
Company shall, if applicable: (i) in the time and manner required by the principal Trading Market, prepare and file with such Trading
Market an additional shares listing application covering a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to the Required Minimum on
the date of such application, (ii) take all steps necessary to cause such shares of Common Stock to be approved for listing or quotation
on such Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter, (iii) provide to the Holder evidence of such listing or quotation and (iv) maintain
the listing or quotation of such Common Stock on any date at least equal to the Required Minimum on such date on such Trading Market or
another Trading Market. The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock for electronic transfer through the Depository
Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository
Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.
4.12 Certain
Transactions and Confidentiality. The Holder, covenants that neither it, nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to
any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of any of the Company’s securities
during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the Form 8-K as described in Section 4.6. The Holder, covenants that until such
time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the Form 8-K as described
in Section 4.6, the Holder will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction (other than as disclosed
to its legal and other representatives). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to
the contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Holder makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby
that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the Form 8-K as described in Section 4.6, (ii) no Holder shall be
restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities
laws from and after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the Form
8-K as described in Section 4.6 and (iii) no Holder shall have any duty of confidentiality or duty not to trade in the securities of
the Company to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or agent,
after the issuance of the Form 8-K as described in Section 4.6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Holder that is a
multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of the Holder’s assets and the
portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of
the Holder’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the
portfolio manager that made the investment decision to acquire the Preferred Stock covered by this Agreement.
15
4.13 Form
D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain
an exemption for, or to qualify the Preferred Stock for, sale to the Holder at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue
Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of the Holder.
4.14 Stockholder Approvals.
(a) The
Company’s issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Stock is subject to the approval of the Company’s
stockholders (the “Stockholder Approval”) in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Principal
Market, which approval the Company is separately soliciting from the holders of Common Stock at the Buyer Stockholders’ Meeting
(as defined in the Option Agreement) as part of the Preferred Stock Conversion Proposal (as defined in the Option Agreement) (such meeting,
together with any adjournment, postponement or additional meeting called for such purpose, the “Stockholder Meeting”).
The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Stockholder Meeting to be held not later than the Stockholder Approval Deadline
(as defined in the Option Agreement) (the “Stockholder Meeting Deadline”).
(b) The Company shall
use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of the Preferred Stock Conversion Proposal in connection with the
Stockholder Approval, including, without limitation, by causing (x) the Board to recommend to the stockholders of the Company that
they approve such proposal, (y) its officers and directors who hold shares of Common Stock to be present, either in person or by
proxy, at the Stockholder Meeting for quorum purposes and (z) such officers and directors to vote their respective shares of Common
Stock in accordance with the Board’s recommendation. The Company shall be obligated to use its best efforts to obtain the
Stockholder Approval by the applicable Stockholder Meeting Deadline. If, despite the Company’s best efforts, the Stockholder
Approval is not obtained on or prior to the applicable Stockholder Meeting Deadline, the Company shall cause an additional
Stockholder Meeting to be held every ninety (90) days thereafter until such Stockholder Approval is obtained. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, failure to receive the Stockholder Approval shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder.
4.15 Negative
Covenants. Except as noted below, until all of the Preferred Stock has been converted in accordance with its terms, the Company shall
not, and the Company shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries without the prior written consent of the Required Holders to, directly or
indirectly by merger or otherwise:
(a) declare
or pay any cash dividend or distribution on any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents of the Company or of its Subsidiaries other than
wholly-owned Subsidiaries;
(b)
make, any fundamental change in the nature of its business as described in the Company’s most recent Annual Report filed on
Form 10-K with the SEC or modify its corporate structure or purpose;
16
(c) enter
into, renew, extend or be a party to, any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the purchase,
sale, lease, license, 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 or its Subsidiaries than would be obtainable
in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate thereof;
(d) redeem any equity securities of the Company;
(e) issue
any securities of the Company that rank senior or pari passu with the Preferred Stock; or
(f) file
any certificate of designation for the authorization or issuance of any other series or class or preferred stock, or issue any additional
Preferred Stock (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) other than pursuant to this Agreement or an Other Agreement.
4.16 Affirmative
Covenants. Until all of the Preferred Stock has been converted in accordance with its terms, the Company shall, and the Company shall
cause each Subsidiary to, unless otherwise agreed to by the Required Holders, directly and indirectly:
(a) maintain
and preserve its existence, rights and privileges, and become or remain duly qualified and 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;
and
(b) maintain
and preserve all of its properties which are necessary or useful in the proper conduct of its business in good working order and condition,
ordinary wear and tear excepted, and comply at all times with the provisions of all leases to which it is a party as lessee or under which
it occupies property, so as to prevent any loss or forfeiture thereof or thereunder.

deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or
requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of
any such right. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 5.5 shall be binding upon the Company, the Holder.
5.6 Headings.
The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any
of the provisions hereof.

Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed
by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts
of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates,
directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts
sitting in the State of Delaware. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts
sitting in the State of Delaware for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated
hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives,
and agrees not to assert in any Action or Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court,
that such Action or Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal
service of process and consents to process being served in any such Action or Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified

the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery
of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature 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 facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original
thereof.
5.12 Severability.
If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid,
illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in
full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated
by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they
would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter
declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
19
5.13 Rescission
and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of
the other Transaction Documents, whenever the Holder exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the
Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then the Holder may rescind or withdraw,
in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part
without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, that, in the case of a rescission of a conversion
of Preferred Stock, the applicable Holder shall be required to return any shares of Common Stock subject to any such rescinded conversion
notice concurrently with the restoration of the Holder’s right to acquire such shares pursuant to the Holder’s Preferred Stock.
5.14 Replacement
of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Preferred Stock is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company
shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu
of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company
of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable
third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Preferred Stock.
5.15 Remedies.
In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, the Holder and
the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not
be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby
agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would
be adequate.
5.16 Payment
Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Holder pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Holder
enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part
thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required
to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without
limitation, any bankruptcy law, 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.
20
5.17 Independent
Nature of the Holder’s Obligations and Rights. The obligations of the Holder under any Transaction Document are several and
not joint with the obligations of any other party thereto, and the Holder shall not be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance
of the obligations of any other party under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and
no action taken by the Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the other parties thereto as a partnership, an
association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the parties thereto are in any way acting in concert
or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Holder shall be entitled
to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the
other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other party thereto to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding
for such purpose. The Holder has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents.
It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between
the Company and the Holder, solely, and not between the Company and the other parties thereto collectively and not between and among the
other parties thereto.
5.18 Liquidated
Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents
is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been
paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due
and payable shall have been canceled.
5.19 Saturdays,
Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted
herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
5.20 Construction.
The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents
and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall
not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to
share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits,
stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement.
5.21 WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH
KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY
WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.
