1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
July 6, 2026, Newton Golf Company, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Exchange Agreements (each, an “Exchange Agreement”
and collectively, the “Exchange Agreements”) with certain holders (the “Holders”) of existing convertible promissory
notes (the “Existing Notes”) previously issued by the Company. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, the Company agreed to
issue an aggregate of 24,092.61 shares of the Company’s newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01
per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), in exchange for an aggregate of approximately $2.3 million of Existing Notes,
inclusive of accrued interest (the “Exchange”).
The
number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued to each Holder (the “Exchange Shares”) was determined by dividing 105%
of the outstanding principal amount (including accrued interest to the date of exchange) of the applicable Existing Note by the Original
Issue Price of $1.00 per share. As described in Item 5.03 below, the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company’s
Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) at an initial conversion price of $1.00 per share.
The
Exchange Agreements contain customary representations, warranties, and covenants of the Company and the Holders. The Exchange was made
in reliance on the exemption from registration under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), which exempts exchanges by the issuer with existing security holders where no commission or remuneration is paid for soliciting
the exchange. The Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors participated in the Exchange on the same terms as other Existing
Note holders.
In
connection with the Exchange, the Company and each Holder also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated July 6, 2026 (the
“Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is required to file an initial
registration statement within 30 days of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and use commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement
declared effective within 45 calendar days of the filing date (or 90 calendar days in the event of a full review by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
The
foregoing description of the Exchange Agreements and Registration Rights Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in
their entirety by reference to the full text of the Form of Note Exchange Agreement and Form of Registration Rights Agreement, which
are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
Item
3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
The
information in Items 1.01 and 5.03 are incorporated herein by reference.
Item
5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
In
connection with the Exchange described in Item 1.01 above, on July 8, 2026, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, establishing
the rights, preferences, powers, restrictions, and limitations of the Series A Preferred Stock. The Certificate of Designation became
effective upon filing. The Certificate of Designation authorizes up to 50,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
The
material terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, as set forth in the Certificate of Designation, are summarized below:
Ranking.
The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Common Stock and all other Junior Securities with respect to dividends and distribution
of assets upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company.
Dividends.
Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to (i) participate equally and ratably with holders of Common Stock in all dividends
paid on Common Stock (on an as-converted basis), and (ii) an annual dividend at a rate of 10.00% per annum of the Original Issue Price,
payable annually in arrears on each Annual Dividend Payment Date. Annual Dividends may be paid in cash, by PIK Dividend (an increase
to the Stated Value), or allowed to accrue as unpaid Cash Dividends, at the Company’s sole discretion; provided, the Company may
not make any PIK Dividend election to the extent such election would violate exchange listing standards, including Nasdaq Marketplace
Rule 5635.
Liquidation
Preference. Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to
receive, before any payment to holders of Junior Securities, an amount per share equal to the Original Issue Price plus all accrued and
unpaid PIK Dividends and accrued and unpaid Cash Dividends (the “Liquidation Preference”). The Series A Preferred Stock is
not redeemable for cash at the option of the holders, and the Company is not required to settle in cash except upon a Liquidation.
Conversion.
Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder into shares of Common Stock determined by dividing
the Stated Value by the Conversion Price, divided by 100. The initial Conversion Price is $1.00 per share. The Conversion Price is subject
to proportional adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations, and similar events.
Forced
Conversion. The Company may require conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock if the closing price of Common
Stock equals or exceeds $3.00 per share for 10 consecutive trading days, provided a resale registration statement covering the underlying
shares of Common Stock is effective at the time of such forced conversion.
Change
of Control Conversion. Upon a Change of Control, all shares of Series A Preferred Stock automatically convert into Common Stock immediately
prior to consummation of such transaction, and holders participate on an as-converted basis with holders of Common Stock. The Series
A Preferred Stock is not redeemable for cash in connection with a Change of Control.
Voting.
Subject to certain exceptions, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock vote together with holders of Common Stock as a single class on
an as-converted basis, subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as described below).
Protective
Provisions. For so long as at least 25% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock originally issued remain outstanding, the Required
Holders must consent to: (a) any amendment to the Company’s organizational documents that would disproportionately and adversely
affect the Series A Preferred Stock, (b) the issuance of any equity securities that are senior to the Series A Preferred Stock in liquidation
preference, or (c) any voluntary filing for bankruptcy by the Company.
Beneficial
Ownership Limitation. No holder may convert shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion,
such holder (together with its affiliates and any other Attribution Parties) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock (unless notice was given prior to closing or otherwise subject to increase to up to 19.99% upon 61 days’
prior notice to the Company). In no event shall any holder beneficially own in excess of 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
without stockholder approval.
Preemptive
Rights. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock have pro rata participation rights in Subsequent Offerings by the Company (subject to
certain exceptions, including Exempt Issuances and at-the-market offerings).
Information
Rights. For so long as holders of at least 10% of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company
shall provide audited annual financial statements and unaudited quarterly financial statements to such holders, which obligation is deemed
satisfied by timely filings with the SEC.
The
foregoing description of the Certificate of Designation does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference

Dividends.
4.1
Holders of the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Corporation
legally available for the payment of dividends, dividends on the terms described below:
(a)
Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to participate equally and ratably with the holders of shares of Common
Stock in all dividends paid on the shares of Common Stock (other than dividends paid in the form of Common Stock, Convertible Securities
or Options) as if immediately prior to the record date for such Common Stock dividend, all shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding
were converted into shares of Common Stock. Dividends payable pursuant to this Section 4.1(a) (the “Participating
Dividends”) shall be payable on the same date that such dividends are payable to holders of shares of Common Stock, and
no dividends shall be payable to holders of shares of Common Stock unless the full dividends contemplated by this Section 4.1(a)
are paid at the same time to the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock.
(b)
In addition to any dividends pursuant to Section 4.1(a), the Corporation shall pay, subject to Section 4.1(c), if, as and
when declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds of the Corporation legally available therefor, on each Annual Dividend Payment
Date for the applicable Payment Period or Payment Periods dividends on each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Annual
Dividends”) at a rate per annum (calculated on the basis of an actual 365- or 366-day year, as applicable) equal to
10.00% of the Original Issue Price per share of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Dividend Rate”), payable in accordance
with Section 4.1(c) below. Subject to Section 4.2, Annual Dividends shall accrue and accumulate on a daily basis from the
Date of Issuance of such share, whether or not declared and whether or not the Corporation has funds legally available for the payment
of such dividends and shall be payable annually in arrears, if, as and when so authorized and declared by the Board of Directors, on
each Annual Dividend Payment Date, commencing on the first Annual Dividend Payment Date following the Date of Issuance of such share.
Accrued Dividends, to the extent unpaid, shall in all cases be payable upon a Liquidation pursuant to Section 5, upon a conversion
of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7. Annual Dividend payments shall be aggregated per Holder and shall be made
to the nearest cent (with $0.005 being rounded upward).
(c)
The Annual Dividends may, at the option of the Corporation in its sole discretion, be paid (A) in cash, (B) by an increase to the Stated
Value of the Series A Preferred (a “PIK Dividend”), (C) by any combination of cash and PIK Dividend or (D) allow the
accrual of the dividend as an accrued and aunpaid Cash Dividend; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Certificate of Designation, the Corporation will not be permitted to make any PIK Dividend election to the extent such election would
violate the listing standards of the Principal Stock Exchange (including but not limited to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635). Any Annual
Dividend that is not paid in cash or by a PIK Dividend that is accrued but unpaid is referred to as an “accrued and unpaid Cash
Dividend.” For the avoidance of doubt, the Corporation is under no obligation to declare or pay Annual Dividends in cash and accrued
and unpaid Cash Dividends shall accrue without interest until payable upon the occurrence of a Liquidation or conversion, as applicable.
5
(d)
Each Participating Dividend or Annual Dividend shall be paid pro rata to the Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled thereto.
Each Participating Dividend or Annual Dividend shall be payable to the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock as they appear on the Corporation’s
books and records at the close of Business on the record date designated by the Board of Directors for such dividends, which (i)
with respect to Participating Dividends, shall be the same day as the record date for the payment of dividends to the holders of shares
of Common Stock (the “Common Stock Dividend Record Date”), and (ii) with respect to Annual Dividends, shall
be not more than thirty (30) days nor less than ten (10) days preceding the applicable Annual Dividend Payment Date (such date, an “Annual
Dividend Payment Record Date”).
4.2
If the date of conversion of any share of Preferred
Stock is after an Annual Dividend Payment Record Date for a declared Annual Dividend on the Preferred Stock but occurs on or prior to
the next Annual Dividend Payment Date, then the Holder of such share at the close of business on such Annual Dividend Payment Record
Date will be entitled, notwithstanding the related conversion, as applicable, to receive, on or, at the Corporation’s election,
before such Annual Dividend Payment Date, such declared Annual Dividend on such share. Except as provided in this Section 4.2, Annual
Dividends on any share of Preferred Stock will cease to accumulate from and after the date of conversion, as applicable.
4.3
Partial Dividend Payments. Except as otherwise
provided herein, if at any time the Corporation pays less than the total amount of dividends then accrued with respect to the Series
A Preferred Stock, such payment shall be distributed pro rata among the holders thereof based upon the aggregate accrued but unpaid dividends
on the Shares held by each such holder.
5.
Liquidation.
5.1
Liquidation.
(a)
Liquidation Preference. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation
(a “Liquidation”), the holders of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid
out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, before any payment shall be made to the holders
of Junior Securities by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the Liquidation Preference of such Share. For
the avoidance of doubt, the Series A Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable for cash at the option of the holders thereof, and the Corporation
shall not be required to settle the Series A Preferred Stock in cash or other assets under any circumstances other than a Liquidation.
6
5.2
Remaining Assets. After payment in full of the
Liquidation Preference to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution
to its stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of Junior Securities.
5.3
Insufficient Assets. If upon any Liquidation
the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of the
Shares of Series A Preferred Stock the full Liquidation Preference to which they are entitled under Section 5.1, (a) the holders of the
Shares shall share ratably in any distribution of the remaining assets and funds of the Corporation in proportion to the respective Liquidation
Preferences which would otherwise be payable in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock in the aggregate upon such Liquidation if all
amounts payable on or with respect to such Shares were paid in full, and (b) the Corporation shall not make or agree to make any payments
to the holders of Junior Securities.
5.4
Notice Requirement. In the event of any Liquidation,
the Corporation shall, within ten (10) days of the date the Board approves such action, or no later than twenty (20) days of any stockholders’
meeting called to approve such action, or within twenty (20) days of the commencement of any involuntary proceeding, whichever is earlier,
give each holder of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock written notice of the proposed action. Such written notice shall describe the
material terms and conditions of such proposed action, including a description of the stock, cash, and property to be received by the
holders of Shares upon consummation of the proposed action and the date of delivery thereof. If any material change in the facts set
forth in the initial notice shall occur, the Corporation shall promptly give written notice to each holder of Shares of such material
change.
6.
Voting.
6.1
Voting Generally. Each holder of outstanding
Shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote with holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock, voting together as a
single class, with respect to any and all matters presented to the stockholders of the Corporation for their action or consideration
(whether at a meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, by written action of stockholders in lieu of a meeting or otherwise), except
as provided by law or by the provisions of Section 6.3 below. In any such vote, each Share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled
to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Share is convertible pursuant to Section 7 herein as
of the record date for such vote or written consent or, if there is no specified record date, as of the date of such vote or written
consent; provided, however, that in no event shall any Holder be entitled to voting rights with respect to shares in excess of
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation set forth in Section 7.6; provided further, that the Series A Preferred shall not be entitled
to vote on a proposal to approve issuances upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635 or
other similar rule of the Principal Stock Exchange. Each holder of outstanding Shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
notice of all stockholder meetings (or requests for written consent) in accordance with the Corporation’s bylaws.
7
6.2
Protective Provisions. For so long as holders
of at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the initial issuance thereof
remain outstanding, the affirmative vote or written consent of the Required Holders shall be required for the Corporation to take any
of the following actions:
(a)
any amendment, alteration or modification of the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock in a manner that disproportionately
and adversely affects the Series A Preferred Stock relative to other equity securities of the Corporation;
(b)
any authorization or issuance of equity securities expressly senior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to liquidation preference;
or
(c)
any voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency filing by the Corporation.
6.3
Exceptions.
For the avoidance of doubt, none of the following shall require the consent of the Required Holders: (a) any increase in the authorized
number of shares of Common Stock or other Junior Securities of the Corporation, (b) any issuance of Common Stock or securities convertible
into or exercisable for Common Stock otherwise permitted pursuant to the terms hereof, including pursuant to employee compensation arrangements,
inducement grants, strategic transactions, commercial arrangements, financing transactions or issuances to consultants, advisors or service
providers approved by the Board, (c) the issuance of additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock in one or more closings up to the
maximum aggregate investment amount contemplated by the initial offering of the Series A Preferred Stock, or (d) any merger, reverse
merger, recapitalization, reorganization, business combination, acquisition transaction or similar strategic transaction approved by
the Board pursuant to which the Series A Preferred Stock is converted into Common Stock immediately prior to the consummation of such
transaction in accordance with the terms hereof.
7.
Conversion.
7.1
Right to Convert; Forced Conversion; Change
of Control Conversion.
(a)
Right to Convert. Subject to the provisions of this Section 7, at any time and from time to time after the Date of Issuance, any
holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right by written election to the Corporation to convert all or any portion of the outstanding
Shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder into such number of shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the quotient
of (A) (i) the Stated Value divided by (ii) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such conversion by (B) one hundred (100).
For the avoidance of doubt, accrued and unpaid PIK Dividends shall accrue solely on the Original Issue Price of the Series A Preferred
Stock and shall not compound.
8
(b)
Forced Conversion. The Corporation shall have the right to require conversion of all, but not less than all, outstanding Shares
of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock at the applicable Conversion Price (calculated as set forth in Section 7.1(a))
if the closing price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $3.00 per share (subject to proportional adjustment for stock splits, stock
dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations and similar events) for ten (10) consecutive trading days; provided, that a registration
statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion is effective at the time of such forced conversion.
(c)
Change of Control Conversion. Upon a Change of Control, all outstanding Shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically
convert into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control at the applicable Conversion Price
(calculated as set forth in Section 7.1(a)), and the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall participate in such transaction solely
on an as-converted basis together with the holders of Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, the Series A Preferred Stock shall not
be redeemable for cash or other assets in connection with a Change of Control. For the avoidance of doubt, beneficial ownership resulting
solely from the acquisition, holding or conversion of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall not, by itself,
constitute a Change of Control.
7.2
Procedures for Conversion; Effect of Conversion.
(a)
Procedures for Holder Conversion. In order to effectuate a conversion of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section
7.1(a), a holder shall (a) submit a written election to the Corporation that such holder elects to convert Shares, the number of Shares
elected to be converted and (b) surrender, along with such written election, to the Corporation the certificate or certificates representing
the Shares being converted, duly assigned or endorsed for transfer to the Corporation (or accompanied by duly executed stock powers relating
thereto) or, in the event the certificate or certificates are lost, stolen, or missing, accompanied by an affidavit of loss executed
by the holder. The conversion of such Shares hereunder shall be deemed effective as of the date of surrender of such Series A Preferred
Stock certificate or certificates or delivery of such affidavit of loss. Upon the receipt by the Corporation of a written election and
the surrender of such certificate(s) and accompanying materials, the Corporation shall as promptly as practicable (but in any event within
five (5) days thereafter) deliver to the relevant holder (a) a certificate in such holder’s name (or the name of such holder’s
designee as stated in the written election) for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled upon conversion
of the applicable Shares as calculated pursuant to Section 7.1(a) and, if applicable (b) a certificate in such holder’s (or the
name of such holder’s designee as stated in the written election) for the number of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented
by the certificate or certificates delivered to the Corporation for conversion but otherwise not elected to be converted pursuant to
the written election. All shares of capital stock issued hereunder by the Corporation shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid, and
nonassessable, free and clear of all taxes, liens, charges, and encumbrances with respect to the issuance thereof.
9
(b)
Procedures for Automatic Conversion. As of the closing of a Change of Control all outstanding Shares of Series A Preferred Stock
shall be converted to the number of shares of Common Stock calculated pursuant to Section 7.1(c) without any further action by the relevant
holder of such Shares or the Corporation. As promptly as practicable following such Change of Control (but in any event within five (5)
days thereafter), the Corporation shall send each holder of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock written notice of such event. Upon receipt
of such notice, each holder shall surrender to the Corporation the certificate or certificates representing the Shares being converted,
duly assigned, or endorsed for transfer to the Corporation (or accompanied by duly executed stock powers relating thereto) or, in the
event the certificate or certificates are lost, stolen, or missing, accompanied by an affidavit of loss executed by the holder. Upon
the surrender of such certificate(s) and accompanying materials, the Corporation shall as promptly as practicable (but in any event within
five (5) days thereafter) deliver to the relevant holder a certificate in such holder’s name (or the name of such holder’s
designee as stated in the written election) for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled upon conversion
of the applicable Shares. All shares of Common Stock issued hereunder by the Corporation shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid,
and nonassessable, free and clear of all taxes, liens, charges, and encumbrances with respect to the issuance thereof.
(c)
Effect of Conversion. All Shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted as provided in this Section 7.2 shall no longer be deemed
outstanding as of the effective time of the applicable conversion and all rights with respect to such Shares shall immediately cease
and terminate as of such time, other than the right of the holder to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor.
(d)
Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion
of the Series A Preferred Stock. As to any fraction of a share which a Holder would otherwise be entitled to receive upon such conversion,
the Corporation shall round up to the next whole share.
7.3
Reservation of Stock. The Corporation shall at
all times when any Shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares
of capital stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, such number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 7.3. The Corporation shall take
all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all such shares of Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any applicable
law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock may be listed
(except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Corporation upon each such issuance). The Corporation
shall not close its books against the transfer of any of its capital stock in any manner which would prevent the timely conversion of
the Shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
10
7.4
No Charge or Payment. The issuance of certificates
for shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7.1 shall be made without payment
of additional consideration by, or other charge, cost, or tax to, the holder in respect thereof.
7.5
Conversion Price; Certain Adjustment. The initial conversion
price per share (the “Conversion Price”) shall be fixed at the quotient of (A) either (i) $1.00 per share if the Nasdaq
Minimum Price of the Common Stock immediately preceding the execution of the definitive transaction documents for the applicable closing
is less than $0.91, or (ii) a price equal to $0.10 above the Nasdaq Minimum Price immediately preceding the execution of the definitive
transaction documents for the applicable closing if such Nasdaq Minimum Price is equal to or greater than $0.91 divided by (B) one hundred
(100). The Conversion Price shall be subject solely to proportional adjustment for stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends,
recapitalizations and similar events affecting the Common Stock, as set forth in this Section 7.5.
(a)
Adjustment upon Dividend, Subdivision, or Combination of Common Stock. If the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time
after the Date of Issuance, (i) pay a dividend or make any other distribution upon the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock,
or (ii) subdivide (by any stock split, recapitalization, or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of
shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to any such dividend, distribution, or subdivision shall be proportionately
reduced and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be proportionately increased.
If the Corporation at any time combines (by combination, reverse stock split, or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased and
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be proportionately decreased. Any
adjustment under this Section 7.5(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the dividend, subdivision, or combination
becomes effective.
(b)
Certain Events. If any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 7.5 but not expressly provided for by
such provisions occurs, then the Board shall make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the
holders of Series A Preferred Stock in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section 7; provided, that no such adjustment
pursuant to this Section 7.5 shall increase the Conversion Price or decrease the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 7.
(c)
Certificate as to Adjustment.
(i)
As promptly as reasonably practicable following any adjustment of the Conversion Price, but in any event not later than ten (10) days
thereafter, the Corporation shall furnish to each holder of record of Series A Preferred Stock a certificate of an executive officer
setting forth in reasonable detail such adjustment and the facts upon which it is based and certifying the calculation thereof.
11
(ii)
As promptly as reasonably practicable following the receipt by the Corporation of a written request by any holder of Series A Preferred
Stock, but in any event not later than ten (10) days thereafter, the Corporation shall furnish to such holder a certificate of an executive
officer certifying the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares of Common Stock then issuable to such holder upon conversion
of the Shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder.
(d)
Notices. In the event:
(i)
that the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable
upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution,
to vote at a meeting (or by written consent), to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class
or any other securities, or to receive any other security; or
(ii)
of any capital reorganization of the Corporation, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Corporation, any consolidation or merger
of the Corporation with or into another Person, or sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets to another Person;
or
(iii)
of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up of the Corporation;
then,
and in each such case, the Corporation shall send or cause to be sent to each holder of record of Series A Preferred Stock at least ten
(10) days prior to the applicable record date or the applicable expected effective date, as the case may be, for the event, a written
notice specifying, as the case may be, (A) the record date for such dividend, distribution, meeting or consent, or other right or action,
and a description of such dividend, distribution, or other right or action to be taken at such meeting or by written consent, or (B)
the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up
is proposed to take place, and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the books of the Corporation shall close or a record shall
be taken with respect to which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable
upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock
or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Series A Preferred
Stock.
12
7.6
Beneficial Ownership Limitation.
(a)
The Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, and no Holder shall have the right to convert any Shares
of Series A Preferred Stock, pursuant to this Section 7 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after conversion,
such Holder (together with such Holder’s affiliates (as defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, “Affiliates”),
and any other persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates (such persons, “Attribution
Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing
sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares of Series A Preferred Stock with respect to which such determination
is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted
Shares of Series A Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise
or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation (including, without limitation, any
Options or Convertible Securities) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially
owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of
this Section 7.6, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by each Holder
that the Corporation is not representing to such Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act
and such Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith.
(b)
To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 7.6 applies, the determination of whether the Series A Preferred Stock is
convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which
portion of the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the applicable Holder, and the submission of
a conversion election shall be deemed to be such Holder’s determination of whether the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible
(in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of the
Series A Preferred Stock is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Corporation shall have
no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination and shall have no liability for conversions of the Series A Preferred
Stock that are not in compliance with the Beneficial Ownership Limitation; provided, that this limitation of liability shall not
apply if such Holder has detrimentally relied on outstanding share information provided by the Corporation or the Corporation’s
transfer agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue shares of Common Stock
upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock to the extent such issuance would require stockholder approval pursuant to applicable
rules of the Principal Stock Exchange unless and until such approval has been obtained.
13
(c)
For purposes of this Section 7.6, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Corporation’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the SEC,
as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation, or (C) a more recent written notice by the Corporation
or the Corporation’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request
of a Holder, the Corporation shall within two (2) Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to such 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 Corporation, including the Series A Preferred Stock, by such Holder or its Affiliates or
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 Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to
the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. A Holder, upon notice to the Corporation, may
increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 7.6; provided, that the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation in no event exceeds 19.99% 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 the Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder and the provisions of this Section
7.6 shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day
after such notice is delivered to the Corporation (unless such notice is provided prior to the Date of Issuance).
(d)
The provisions of this Section 7.6 shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms
of this Section 7.6 to correct this Section 7.6 (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial
Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.
The limitations contained in this Section 7.6 shall apply to a successor holder of any Shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Certificate of Designation, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by any
Holder upon any conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary
to ensure that, following such conversion (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by
such Holder and its Affiliates and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with such Holder’s
for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act does not exceed 19.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common
Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion). For such purposes, beneficial ownership
shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. This restriction
may not be waived without stockholder approval.
14
8.
Preemptive Rights.
8.1
For so long as any Shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, upon any issuance or incurrence, as applicable, by the Corporation
or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock, Common Stock equivalents, preferred stock, debt securities or a combination of any of the
foregoing for cash (each, a “Subsequent Offering”), the Holders shall have the right to participate on a pro rata
basis, based on their as-converted ownership percentage (the “Participation Maximum”) on the same terms, conditions
and price provided for in the Subsequent Offering.
8.2
No later than five (5) Trading Days prior to the expected time of pricing of the Subsequent Offering, the Corporation shall deliver to
each Holder a written notice of its intention to effect a Subsequent Offering (“Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall
ask such Holder if it wants to review the details of such financing (such additional notice, a “Subsequent Offering Notice”).
Upon the request of a Holder, and only upon a request by such Holder, for a Subsequent Offering Notice, the Corporation shall promptly,
but no later than one (1) trading day after such request, deliver a Subsequent Offering Notice to such Holder. The Subsequent Offering
Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Offering, the amount of proceeds intended to be raised
thereunder and the Person or Persons through or with whom such Subsequent Offering is proposed to be effected and shall include a term
sheet and transaction documents relating thereto as an attachment, which information the Holder hereby agrees to keep confidential subject
to Section 8.6.
8.3
Any Holder desiring to participate in such Subsequent Offering must provide written notice to the Corporation by not later than 5:30
p.m. (New York City time) on the third (3rd) Trading Day after all of the Holders have received the Pre-Notice that such Holder is willing
to participate in the Subsequent Offering, the amount of such Holder’s participation, and representing and warranting that such
Holder has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Offering Notice. If the Corporation
receives no such notice from a Holder as of such third (3rd) Trading Day, such Holder shall be deemed to have notified the Corporation
that it does not elect to participate.
8.4
The Corporation must provide the Holders with a second Subsequent Offering Notice, and the Holders will again have the right of participation
set forth above in this Section 8, if the terms of the Subsequent Offering change from those in the initial Subsequent Offering Notice
or if the Subsequent Offering subject to the initial Subsequent Offering Notice is not consummated for any reason on the terms set forth
in such Subsequent Offering Notice within five (5) Trading Days after the date of the initial Subsequent Offering Notice, unless the
Subsequent Offering is abandoned.
15
8.5
The Corporation and each Holder agree that if any Holder elects to participate in the Subsequent Offering, the transaction documents
related to the Subsequent Offering shall not include any term or provision whereby such Holder shall be required to agree to any restrictions
on trading as to any of Series A Preferred Stock or be required to consent to any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver,
release or the like under or in connection with, this Certificate of Designation, without the prior written consent of such Holder. In
addition, the Corporation and the Holders agree that, in connection with a Subsequent Offering, the transaction documents related to
the Subsequent Offering shall include a requirement for the Corporation to issue a widely disseminated press release by 9:30 am (New
York City time) on the Trading Day of execution of the transaction documents in such Subsequent Offering (or, if the date of execution
is not a Trading Day or if the transaction documents are executed after 9:30 am (New York City time) on a Trading Day, on the immediately
following Trading Day) that discloses the material terms of the transactions contemplated by the transaction documents in such Subsequent
Offering.
8.6
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8 and unless otherwise agreed to by such Holder, the Corporation shall either
confirm in writing to such Holder that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Offering has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose
its intention to issue the securities or incur the indebtedness in the Subsequent Offering, in either case in such a manner such that
such Holder will not be in possession of any material, non-public information, by the fifth (5th) Business Day following delivery of
the Subsequent Offering Notice. If by such fifth (5th) Business Day, no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the
Subsequent Offering has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by such Holder, such
transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and such Holder shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material, non-public
information with respect to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries.
8.7
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8 shall
not apply in respect of (i) an Exempt Issuance, or (ii) any offering, sale or issuance in connection with any “at the market offering”
that is or may be established by the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the notice time periods set forth in this Section 8
shall not apply in respect of an overnight or intraday Subsequent Offering and instead the Corporation shall only be obligated to provide
such notice to the Holders as it determines is reasonably practicable and following receipt of such notice the Holders shall thereupon
have one (1) Business Day to indicate their interest with respect to an overnight Subsequent Offering and one (1) Business Day to indicate
their interest with respect to an intraday Subsequent Offering.
9.
Information Rights. For so long as holders of at least ten percent (10%) of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock
remain outstanding, the Corporation shall provide to such holders: (a) audited annual financial statements within the time period required
by applicable U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules; (b) unaudited quarterly financial statements
within the time period required by applicable SEC rules; and (c) such other information regarding the business, operations and financial
condition of the Corporation as the Corporation may reasonably determine to provide from time to time, subject to applicable confidentiality
obligations and applicable law. The Corporation’s obligations under clauses (a) and (b) shall be deemed satisfied by the timely
filing of the Corporation’s periodic reports with the SEC. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive
attorney-client privileged materials, materials relating to potential conflicts of interest, board materials, operating budgets, forecasts,
projections, competitively sensitive information or other confidential strategic materials, except to the extent otherwise approved by
the Board in its sole discretion. The Corporation shall not be required to provide material non-public information except as required
by applicable law.
16
10.
Reissuance of Series A Preferred Stock. Any Shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted or otherwise acquired by the Corporation
or any Subsidiary shall be cancelled and retired as authorized and issued shares of capital stock of the Corporation and no such Shares
shall thereafter be reissued, sold, or transferred.
11.
Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein,
all notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed
to have been given: (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (b) when received by the addressee if sent by
a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); (c) on the date sent by facsimile or e-mail of a PDF document (with confirmation
of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next business day if sent after normal business hours
of the recipient; or (d) on the third day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.
Such communications must be sent (a) to the Corporation, at its principal executive offices and (b) to any stockholder, at such holder’s
address at it appears in the stock records of the Corporation (or at such other address for a stockholder as shall be specified in a
notice given in accordance with this Section 11).
12.
Amendment and Waiver. No provision of this Certificate
of Designation may be amended, modified, or waived except by an instrument in writing executed by the Corporation and the Required Holders,
and any such written amendment, modification, or waiver will be binding upon the Corporation and each holder of Series A Preferred Stock;
provided, that no such action shall change or waive (a) the definition of Liquidation Preference or Original Issue Price, (b)
the rate at which or the manner in which PIK Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock accrue pursuant to Section 4, or (c) this Section
12, without the prior written consent of each holder of outstanding Shares of Series A Preferred Stock; provided, further,
that no amendment, modification, or waiver of the terms or relative priorities of the Series A Preferred Stock may be accomplished by
the merger, consolidation, or other transaction of the Corporation with another corporation or entity unless the Corporation has obtained
the prior written consent of the holders in accordance with this Section 12. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment or waiver shall
require consent of the Holders solely to the extent required to comply with applicable law, SEC rules or Principal Stock Exchange rules.

Shelf Registration.
(a)
On or prior to each Filing Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement covering the resale
of all of the Registrable Securities that are not then registered on an effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on
a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. Each Registration Statement filed hereunder shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not
then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, then such registration shall be on another appropriate form
(including Form S-1)) and shall contain (unless otherwise directed by at least 85% in interest of the Holders) substantially the “Plan
of Distribution” attached hereto as Annex A and substantially the “Selling Stockholder” section attached
hereto as Annex B. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause
a Registration Statement filed under this Agreement (including, without limitation, under Section 3(c)) to be declared effective under
the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably possible after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than the applicable Effectiveness
Date, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities
Act until the date that all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement no longer constitute Registrable Securities,
subject to applicable SEC rules, Nasdaq rules and stockholder approval requirements, if any (the “Effectiveness Period”).
The Company shall telephonically request effectiveness of a Registration Statement as of 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading
Day. The Company shall notify the Holders via facsimile or by e-mail of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on the same Trading
Day that the Company telephonically confirms effectiveness with the Commission, which shall be the date requested for effectiveness of
such Registration Statement. The Company shall, by 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the Trading Day after the effective date of such
Registration Statement, file a final Prospectus with the Commission as required by Rule 424.
(b)
Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in Section 2(a), if the Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable
Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration
statement, the Company agrees to promptly inform each of the Holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments
to the Initial Registration Statement as required by the Commission, covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted
to be registered by the Commission, on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities
on Form S-3, then such registration shall be on another appropriate form (including Form S-1)); provided, however, that
prior to filing such amendment, the Company shall be obligated to use diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration
of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the SEC Guidance, including without limitation, Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation
612.09.
Page 3
(c)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Commission or any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of
Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding
that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater portion of Registrable
Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to its Registrable Securities or otherwise directed by the staff of
the Commission, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced as follows:
i. First,
the Company shall reduce or eliminate any securities to be included other than Registrable Securities;
ii. Second,
the Company shall reduce Registrable Securities represented by Conversion Shares (applied, in the case that some Conversion Shares may
be registered, to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Conversion Shares held by such Holders).
In
the event of a cutback hereunder, the Company shall give the Holder at least five (5) Trading Days prior written notice along with the
calculations as to such Holder’s allotment, and the Company’s obligations. In the event the Company amends the Initial Registration
Statement in accordance with the foregoing, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as
promptly as reasonably possible after the time allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities
in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities
that were not registered for resale on the Initial Registration Statement, as amended.
(d)
[Reserved]
(e)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Company be permitted to name any Holder or affiliate
of a Holder as any Underwriter without the prior written consent of such Holder; provided that, if the Commission staff requests that
a Holder or affiliate thereof be identified as a statutory underwriter in a Registration Statement, then such Holder will have the option,
in its sole and absolute discretion, to either (i) have the opportunity to withdraw its Registrable Securities from the Registration
Statement upon its prompt written request to the Company, in which case the Company’s obligation to register such Holder’s
Registrable Securities shall be deemed satisfied in full, or (ii) be included as such (or have its affiliate included as such) in the
Registration Statement; provided, further, that nothing herein shall require the Company to take any action inconsistent with applicable
SEC rules, interpretations or guidance.
3.
Registration Procedures.
In
connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:
(a)
Not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to the filing of the Initial Registration Statement and not less than three (3) Trading Days
prior to the filing of each additional Registration Statement and not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to the filing of any related
Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (including any document that would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein
by reference), the Company shall (i) furnish to each Holder copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other
than those incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review of such Holders, and (ii) cause its
officers and directors, counsel and independent registered public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary, in
the reasonable opinion of respective counsel to each Holder, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities
Act. The Company shall not file a Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto to which the
Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities shall reasonably object in good faith, provided that, the Company is notified of
such objection in writing no later than three (3) Trading Days after the Holders have been so furnished copies of a Registration Statement
or one (1) Trading Day after the Holders have been so furnished copies of any related Prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto.
Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed questionnaire in the form attached to this Agreement as Annex C (a “Selling
Stockholder Questionnaire”) on a date that is not later than the earlier of (i) three (3) Trading Days prior to the Filing
Date or (iii) the end of the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date on which such Holder receives draft materials in accordance
with this Section. In addition to the Selling Stockholder Questionnaire, each Holder shall furnish such other information as shall be
reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities, and shall execute such documents in connection with such
registration as the Company may reasonably request.

(b)
i. Prepare
and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to a Registration Statement and the Prospectus used
in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep a Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable
Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to
register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities,
ii. cause
the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement),
and, as so supplemented or amended, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424, and
iii. respond
as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the Commission with respect to a Registration Statement or any amendment
thereto and provide as promptly as reasonably possible to the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the
Commission relating to a Registration Statement (provided that, the Company shall excise any information contained therein which would
constitute material non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries including but not limited to, confidential
financing information, strategic transaction information or information subject to attorney-client privilege); and
iv. comply
in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act applicable to the Company with respect to the
disposition by the Holders of all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance
(subject to the terms of this Agreement) with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in such Registration
Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.
(c)
If during the Effectiveness Period, the number of Registrable Securities at any time exceeds 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock
then registered in a Registration Statement, then the Company shall file as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any case prior to
the applicable Filing Date, an additional Registration Statement covering the resale by the Holders of not less than the number of such
Registrable Securities.
(d)
Notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold (which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vi) hereof, be accompanied
by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably possible
(and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm
such notice in writing no later than one (1) Trading Day following the day:
i. (A)
when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed, (B) when
the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission
comments in writing on such Registration Statement, and (C) with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment,
when the same has become effective,
ii. of
any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement
or Prospectus or for additional information,
Page 5
iii. of
the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of
a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose,
iv. of
the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of
any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose,
v. of
the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for
inclusion therein or any statement made in a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated
therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to a Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents
so that, in the case of a Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case
of the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and
vi. of
the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development with respect to the Company that the Company believes may be material
and that, in the determination of the Company, makes it not in the best interest of the Company to allow continued availability of a
Registration Statement or Prospectus; provided, however, that in no event shall any such notice contain any information
which would constitute material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including but not limited to
pending financing transactions, acquisition discussions, strategic transactions or other commercially sensitive matters.
(e)
Use its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order stopping or suspending
the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of
the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest reasonably practicable moment.
(f)
Furnish to each Holder, at such Holder’s written request, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each such Registration
Statement and each amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated
therein by reference to the extent requested by such Person, and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those
previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission, provided that any
such item which is available on the EDGAR system (or successor thereto) need not be furnished.
(g)
Subject to the terms of this Agreement (including Section 3(j)), consent to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement
thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus
and any amendment or supplement thereto, except after the giving of any notice pursuant to Section 3(d).
(h)
Prior to any resale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate
with the selling Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from the registration or qualification) of
such Registrable Securities for the resale by the Holder under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United
States as any Holder reasonably requests in writing, to keep each registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during
the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions
of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement, provided that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally
to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction
where it is not then so subject or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.
Page 6
(i)
If requested by a Holder, cooperate with such Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of Registrable Securities to be
delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which Registrable Securities shall be free, to the extent permitted by
the Preferred Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered
in such names as any such Holder may request.
(j)
Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(d), if required to do so, as promptly as reasonably possible, as determined
by the Company under the circumstances taking into account the Company’s good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to the
Company and its shareholders of the premature disclosure of such event, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective
amendment, to a Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated
therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither a Registration Statement nor such
Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the
Holders in accordance with clauses (iii) through (vi) of Section 3(d) above to suspend the use of any Prospectus until the requisite
changes to such Prospectus have been made, then the Holders shall so suspend use of such Prospectus. The Company shall be entitled to
exercise its right under this Section 3(j) to suspend the availability of a Registration Statement and Prospectus for periods not to
exceed an aggregate of 60 calendar days (which need not be consecutive days) in any 12-month period (“Permitted Suspension Periods”);
provided, however, that such period may be extended to the extent reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, SEC rules or Nasdaq
rules.
(k)
Otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Rule 172 under the Securities Act, file any final Prospectus, including any
supplement or amendment thereof, with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, promptly inform the Holders in writing
if, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, the Company does not satisfy the conditions specified in Rule 172 and, as a result thereof,
the Holders are required to deliver a Prospectus in connection with any disposition of Registrable Securities and take such other actions
as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate the registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder.
(l)
Use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and thereafter maintain eligibility for use of Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto)
for the registration of the resale of the Registrable Securities.
(m)
The Company may require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company a certified statement as to the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by such Holder and, if required by the Commission, the natural persons thereof that have voting and dispositive control
over the shares For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall be deemed to create or imply the existence of any “group”
within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.
4.
Registration Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall
be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement. The fees and expenses
referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation,
fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and independent registered public accountants) (A) with respect to filings made with
the Commission, (B) with respect to filings required to be made with any Trading Market on which the shares of Common Stock are then
listed for trading, and (C) in compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws reasonably agreed to by the Company in writing
(including fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company in connection with Blue Sky qualifications or exemptions of the Registrable
Securities), (ii) printing expenses (including expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities), (iii) messenger, telephone
and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company
so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred
in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including all salaries and expenses of its officers
and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection
with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder. In no event shall the Company be responsible
for any broker or similar commissions of any Holder or, except to the extent expressly provided for in the Transaction Documents, any
legal fees or other costs of the Holders.

5.
Indemnification.
(a)
Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless
each Holder, the officers, directors, members, partners, agents, brokers (including brokers who offer and sell Registrable Securities
as principal as a result of a pledge or any failure to perform under a margin call of shares of Common Stock), investment advisors and
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 each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, members, shareholders, partners, agents and 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 each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”),
as incurred, arising out of or relating to (1) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration
Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising
out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading
or (2) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, or any
rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent, but
only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements or omissions or violations are based solely upon information regarding such Holder
furnished in writing to the Company by any Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to any Holder
or any Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by
such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement, such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood
that each Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose) or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified
in Section 3(d)(iii)-(vi), the use by such Holder of an outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable Prospectus after the Company has
notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable for use by such Holder and prior
to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(c). The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution,
threat or assertion of any Proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of which the
Company is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such indemnified
person and shall survive the transfer of any Registrable Securities by any of the Holders in accordance with Section 6(f). Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be liable for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages except
to the extent awarded to a third party in connection with a claim subject to indemnification hereunder.
(b)
Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors,
officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section
20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons (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), to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, to the extent arising out of or based solely upon: any untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto
or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made) not misleading (i) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained
in any information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company expressly for inclusion in such Registration Statement or such
Prospectus or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such information relates to such Holder’s information provided in
the Selling Stockholder Questionnaire or the proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly
approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement (it being understood that each Holder has approved Annex
A hereto for this purpose), such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability of a selling Holder
be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such Holder in connection with any claim relating
to this Section 5 and the amount of any damages such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or
omission) received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such
indemnification obligation.
Page 8
(c)
Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity
hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is
sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense
thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses
incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve
the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that such failure
shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.
An
Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but
the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party
has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such
Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding, or (3) the named parties to
any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and counsel to
the Indemnified Party shall reasonably believe that a material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent
such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing
that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to
assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel for all Indemnified Parties shall
be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected
without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior
written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is
a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the
subject matter of such Proceeding.
Subject
to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to
the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section)
shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided
that the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such
actions for which such Indemnified Party is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be entitled to indemnification
hereunder.
Page 9
(d)
Contribution. If the indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold
an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified
Party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection
with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in
question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has
been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or
payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any
reasonable attorneys’ or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party
would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party
in accordance with its terms.
The
parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately
preceding paragraph. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a Holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the
dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such Holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5 and the
amount of any damages such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.
The
indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may otherwise
have to the Indemnified Parties.
6.
Miscellaneous.
(a)
Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of its obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company,
as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery
of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. Each of the Company and each Holder agrees
that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions
of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall
not assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(b)
[Reserved]
(c)
Discontinued Disposition. By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company
of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(d)(iii) through (vi), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition
of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the
Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed. Subject to Section 3(j),
the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is reasonably
practicable, subject to the first sentence of Section 3(j).
(d)
Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or
supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing
and signed by the Company and the Holders of 50.1% or more of the then outstanding Registrable Securities (for purposes of clarification,
this includes any Registrable Securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of any Security); provided, however, that no amendment
or waiver shall be required to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law, SEC rules or Nasdaq rules; provided that, if any amendment,
modification or waiver disproportionately and adversely impacts a Holder (or group of Holders), the consent of such disproportionately
impacted Holder (or group of Holders) shall be required. If a Registration Statement does not register all of the Registrable Securities
pursuant to a waiver or amendment done in compliance with the previous sentence, then the number of Registrable Securities to be registered
for each Holder shall be reduced pro rata among all Holders and each Holder shall have the right to designate which of its Registrable
Securities shall be omitted from such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions
hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of a Holder or some Holders and that does not directly or indirectly
affect the rights of other Holders may be given only by such Holder or Holders of all of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver
or consent relates; provided, however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance
with the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 6(d). No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent
to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to
this Agreement.
Page 10
(e)
Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be delivered
as set forth in the Preferred Agreement.
(f)
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each
of the parties and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder. The Company may not assign (except by merger) its rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of all of the Holders of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. Each Holder may assign
their respective rights hereunder in connection with any transfer of Registrable Securities by such Holder in accordance with the Preferred
Agreement and applicable securities laws.
(g)
No Inconsistent Agreements. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would
have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Except
as set forth on Schedule 6(g), neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has previously entered into any agreement granting any
registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person that have not been satisfied in full.
(h)
Execution and Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered
one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other parties,
it being understood that 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.
(i)
Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement, and all matters
arising hereunder and in connection herewith, shall be determined in accordance with Section 7.2 of the Preferred Agreement.
(j)
Cumulative Remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.
(k)
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.
Page 11
(l)
Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of the Agreement and shall not be deemed
to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
(m)
Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to a Section, such reference shall be to a Section of this Agreement unless
otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement,
they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein”
and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not
to any particular provision of this Agreement unless the context requires otherwise. The words “date hereof” when used in
this Agreement shall refer to the date of this Agreement. The terms “or,” “any” and “either” are
not exclusive. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other
thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if.” The word “will” shall be construed to have the same
meaning and effect as the word “shall.” All terms defined in this Agreement shall have the defined meanings when used in
any document made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable
to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such
term. Any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein
means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements
or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes and references to all
attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. Unless otherwise specifically indicated, all references to “dollars”
or “$” shall refer to, and all payments hereunder shall be made in, the lawful money of the United States. References to
a Person are also to its successors and permitted assigns. When calculating the period of time between which, within which or following
which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period
shall be excluded (and, unless otherwise required by law, if the last day of such period is not a Trading Day, the period in question
shall end on the next succeeding Trading Day).
(n) Independent
Nature of Holders’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations
of any other Holder hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder
hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Holder
pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other
kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect
to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the Company acknowledges that the Holders are not acting
in concert or as a group in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the Company shall not assert any such
claim, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or otherwise, with respect to such obligations or transactions. Each Holder
shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall
not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. It is expressly understood
and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement is between the Company and a Holder, solely, and not between the Company and
the Holders collectively and not between and among Holders.
(o)
Termination. This Agreement shall be effective as of the Closing (as defined in the Preferred Agreement), and if the Closing has not
occurred on or prior to fifth (5th) Trading Day following the date of the Preferred Agreement, unless otherwise mutually agreed, then
this Agreement shall be null and void.
