Item
1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
July 24, 2026, NextNRG, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”)
with an institutional investor
(the “Investor”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell, and the Investor agreed to purchase, a
senior secured convertible note of the Company, in the aggregate original principal amount of $2,000,000 (the “Note”), which
is convertible into shares of common
stock of the Company (the “Conversion Shares”), par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common
Stock”). The closing of the transaction contemplated
under the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing”) occurred on
July 24, 2026 (the “Closing Date”). Upon
the Closing, the Company issued the Note and received gross proceeds of approximately
$1.8 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from
the sale of the Note for general corporate purposes and working capital requirements.
Pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed not to issue any equity, equity linked securities, debt or preferred shares in any Subsequent
Placement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) so long as the Note is outstanding, subject to certain exceptions. The Company also
agreed to provide the Investor with a right of participation in 100% of any Subsequent Placement until the later of the 4 month anniversary
of the Closing Date and the date the Note is no longer outstanding.
The
Note
The Note bears interest at a rate of
twelve percent (12%) per annum and will mature on October 24, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”).
From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (as defined in the
Note), the interest rate will increase by nine percent (9%) until such Event of Default is subsequently cured. The Maturity Date
may be extended for an additional three (3) months by mutual written consent of the Company and the Investor or at the option of the
Investor, subject to the terms of the Note. On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to
the Investor an amount in cash representing the sum of (i) 50% of all outstanding principal
(the “Payment Premium”), (ii) all outstanding principal, and (iii) all accrued
and unpaid interest and Late Charges (as defined in the
Note) on such principal and interest. The
Note is convertible at the option of the Investor into Conversion Shares at a fixed conversion
price equal to $0.75 per share.
The
Company may, at any time and with 30 days’ prior notice, redeem
all of the outstanding amount then remaining under the Note for cash in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Payment Premium, (ii) all
outstanding principal, and (iii) all accrued and unpaid interest and Late Charges on
such principal and interest as of the applicable redemption date.
Pursuant to the Note, if the Company shall determine
to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement or
offering statement of any of its equity securities (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8), then
the Company shall deliver to the Investor a written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after the date
of the delivery of such notice, the Investor shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement or
offering statement all or any number of Conversion Shares and/or any capital stock of the
Company issued or issuable with respect to the Conversion Shares or the Note as requested by the Investor.
The Note is secured by the
collateral set forth in the Security and Pledge Agreement (as defined below) and is guaranteed by
each of the Company’s subsidiaries pursuant to a Guaranty (the “Guaranty”).
The
Security and Pledge Agreement
In connection with the Purchase Agreement and the
Note, on July 24, 2026, the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company (each a “Grantor”
and together with the Company, collectively, the “Grantors”) and the Investor also entered into a security and pledge agreement
(the “Security and Pledge Agreement”). Pursuant to the Security and Pledge Agreement, the Grantors
have granted a security interest in the Collateral (as
defined in the Security and Pledge Agreement), which includes substantially all of the assets of the Company.
The foregoing does not purport to be a complete description
of each of the Note, the Purchase Agreement, the Security and Pledge Agreement and the Guaranty
and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of each of such document, which are filed as Exhibits 4.1, 10.1,

Original
Principal Amount: U.S. $2,000,000
FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, NextNRG, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of
[●] or its registered assigns (the “Holder”) the amount set forth above as the Original Principal Amount (or
such lesser amount as reduced pursuant to the terms hereof pursuant to repayment, redemption, conversion or otherwise, the “Principal”)
when due, whether upon the Maturity Date, or upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof)
and to pay interest (“Interest”) on any outstanding Principal at the applicable Interest Rate (as defined below) from
the date set forth above as the Issuance Date (the “Issuance Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether
upon the Maturity Date, or upon acceleration, conversion, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof).
This Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note (including all Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes issued in exchange, transfer
or replacement hereof, this “Note”) is one of an issue of Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes issued pursuant
to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 24, 2026 (the “Subscription Date”), by and among the
Company and the investors (the “Buyers”) referred to therein, as amended from time to time (collectively, the “Notes”,
and such other Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes, the “Other Notes”). Certain capitalized terms used herein
are defined in Section 33.
1.
PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL. On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash (excluding any amounts paid
in shares of Common Stock on the Maturity Date in accordance with Section 9) representing the sum of (x) 50% of all outstanding Principal
(the “Payment Premium”), (y) all outstanding Principal, (z) and all accrued and unpaid Interest and accrued and unpaid
Late Charges (as defined in Section 26(c)) on such Principal and Interest. Other than as specifically permitted by this Note, the Company
may not prepay or redeem any portion of the outstanding Principal, accrued and unpaid Interest or accrued and unpaid Late Charges on
Principal and Interest, if any.
2.
INTEREST; INTEREST RATE.
(a)
Interest on this Note shall commence accruing on the Issuance Date and shall accrue on all outstanding Principal and shall be computed
on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day months and shall be payable in arrears on the first calendar day of each month (each,
an “Interest Date”) with the first Interest Date being the Issuance Date. Interest shall be payable on each Interest
Date, to the Holder on the applicable Interest Date, in cash (“Cash Interest”); provided however, that, the Holder
may, at its option, elect to have the Company pay Interest on any Interest Date by increasing the then outstanding Principal by the Interest
due (“PIK Interest”) or in a combination of Cash Interest and PIK Interest. The Holder shall deliver a written notice
(each, an “Interest Election Notice”) to the Company on or prior to the sixth (6th) Trading Day prior to
the applicable Interest Date (the date such notice is delivered to the Company, the “Interest Notice Date”) which
notice either (A) confirms that Interest to be paid by the Company on such Interest Date shall be paid entirely in Cash Interest or (B)
elects that the Company pays Interest as PIK Interest or a combination of Cash Interest and PIK Interest and specifies the amount of
Interest that shall be paid as Cash Interest and the amount of Interest, if any, that shall be paid as PIK Interest.
(b)
Prior to the payment of Interest on an Interest Date, Interest on this Note shall accrue at the Interest Rate on all outstanding principal
amounts and be payable by way of inclusion of the Interest in the Conversion Amount on each Conversion Date in accordance with Section
3(b)(i) or upon any redemption in accordance with Section 13 or any required payment upon any Bankruptcy Event of Default. From and after
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Interest Rate shall automatically be adjusted on each Trading
Day in which an Event of Default is continuing to the sum of (x) the Interest Rate then in effect on such date of determination and (y)
nine percent (9.0%) per annum (the “Default Rate”). In the event that such Event of Default is subsequently cured
(and no other Event of Default then exists, including, without limitation, for the Company’s failure to pay such Interest at the
Default Rate on the applicable Interest Date), the adjustment referred to in the preceding sentence shall cease to be effective as of
the calendar day immediately following the date of such cure; provided that the Interest as calculated and unpaid at such increased rate
during the continuance of such Event of Default shall continue to apply to the extent relating to the days after the occurrence of such
Event of Default through and including the date of such cure of such Event of Default.

3.
CONVERSION OF NOTES. At any time after the date hereof, this Note shall be convertible into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable
shares of Common Stock, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.
(a)
Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 3(d), at any time or times on or after the date hereof, the Holder shall
be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount (as defined below) into validly issued, fully paid
and non-assessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 3(c), at the Conversion Rate (as defined below). The Company shall
not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of
a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share. The Company
shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses
of the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”)) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and
delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of any Conversion Amount.
(b)
Conversion Rate. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to Section 3(a)
shall be determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price (the “Conversion Rate”).
(i)
“Conversion Amount” means the sum of (x) the portion of the Principal to be converted, redeemed or otherwise with
respect to which this determination is being made, (y) all accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to such portion of the Principal
amount and accrued and unpaid Late Charges with respect to such portion of such Principal and such Interest, if any, and (z) any other
unpaid amounts pursuant to the Transaction Documents, if any.
(ii)
“Conversion Price” means, as of any Conversion Date or other date of determination, $0.75.
3
(c)
Mechanics of Conversion.
(i)
Optional Conversion. To convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock on any date (a “Conversion Date”),
the Holder shall deliver (whether via electronic mail or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on such date,
a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (each, a “Conversion Notice”)
to the Company. If required by Section 3(c)(iii), within one (1) Trading Day following a conversion of this Note as aforesaid, the Holder
shall surrender this Note to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company (or an indemnification undertaking
with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction as contemplated by Section 20(b)). the date of receipt of a Conversion
Notice, the Company shall transmit by electronic mail an acknowledgment, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II, of confirmation
of receipt of such Conversion Notice and representation as to whether such shares of Common Stock may then be resold pursuant to Rule
144 (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or an effective and available registration statement (each, an “Acknowledgement”)
to the Holder and the Transfer Agent which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion
Notice in accordance with the terms herein. On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Company
has received a Conversion Notice (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the 1934 Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation
for the settlement of a trade initiated on the applicable Conversion Date of such shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such Conversion
Notice) (the “Share Delivery Deadline”), the Company shall (1) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in
Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (“FAST”), credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which
the Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such conversion to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with Depository
Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system or (2) if the Transfer Agent is not participating
in FAST, upon the request of the Holder, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as specified in the Conversion
Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder
shall be entitled pursuant to such conversion. If this Note is physically surrendered for conversion pursuant to Section 3(c)(iii) and
the outstanding Principal of this Note is greater than the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company
shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue
and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a new Note (in accordance with Section 20(d)) representing the outstanding Principal not
converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated
for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date; provided, that the Holder shall
be deemed to have waived any voting rights of any such shares of Common Stock that may arise during the period commencing on such Conversion
Date, through, and including, such applicable Share Delivery Deadline (each, an “Conversion Period”), as necessary,
such that the aggregate voting rights of any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and/or any Attribution Parties,
collectively, on any such applicable date shall not exceed the Maximum Percentage (as defined below) as a result of any such conversion
of this Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, after the effective date of a registration statement registering
the resale of the Conversion Shares (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) (the “Registration Statement”),
the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to the Holder (or its designee) in connection
with any sale of Conversion Shares with respect to which the Holder has entered into a contract for sale, and delivered a copy of the
prospectus included as part of the particular Registration Statement to the extent applicable, and for which the Holder has not yet settled.
4
(ii)
Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, on or prior to the applicable
Share Delivery Deadline, either (I) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, to issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee)
a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the
Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, to credit the balance account of the Holder or the
Holder’s designee with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion
of this Note (as the case may be) or (II) if the Registration Statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock that are the
subject of the Conversion Notice (the “Unavailable Conversion Shares”) is not available for the resale of such Unavailable
Conversion Shares and the Company fails to promptly (x) so notify the Holder and (y) deliver the shares of Common Stock electronically
without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant
to such conversion to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian
system (the event described in the immediately foregoing clause (II) is hereinafter referred as a “Notice Failure”
and together with the event described in clause (I) above, a “Conversion Failure”), then, in addition to all other
remedies available to the Holder, (1) the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after such Share Delivery Deadline that
the issuance of such shares of Common Stock is not timely effected an amount equal to 2.0% of the product of (A) the sum of the number
of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Deadline and to which the Holder is entitled,
multiplied by (B) any trading price of the Common Stock selected by the Holder in writing as in effect at any time during the period
beginning on the applicable Conversion Date and ending on the applicable Share Delivery Deadline and (2) the Holder, upon written notice
to the Company, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned (as the case may be) any portion of this
Note that has not been converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice, provided that the voiding of a Conversion Notice shall not affect
the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 3(c)(ii)
or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to the Share Delivery Deadline either (A) if the Transfer Agent is not participating
in FAST, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate and register such shares of Common
Stock on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, the Transfer Agent shall fail to credit
the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder
is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion hereunder or pursuant to the Company’s obligation pursuant to clause (II) below
or (B) a Notice Failure occurs, and if on or after such Share Delivery Deadline the Holder acquires (in an open market transaction, stock
loan or otherwise) shares of Common Stock corresponding to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such
conversion that the Holder is entitled to receive from the Company and has not received from the Company in connection with such Conversion
Failure or Notice Failure, as applicable (a “Buy-In”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder,
the Company shall, within one (1) Business Day after receipt of the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either:
(I) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, stock loan
costs and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so acquired (including, without limitation, by any other
Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation
to so issue and deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) or credit the balance account of such Holder or such
Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s
conversion hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (II) promptly honor its obligation
to so issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit the balance account
of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder
is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess
(if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (x) such number of shares of Common Stock multiplied by (y) the lowest Closing Sale
Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the applicable Conversion Notice and ending
on the date of such issuance and payment under this clause (II) (the “Buy-In Payment Amount”). Nothing shall limit
the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation,
a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates
representing shares of Common Stock (or to electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock) upon the conversion of this Note as required
pursuant to the terms hereof.
5
(iii)
Registration; Book-Entry. The Company shall maintain a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the
names and addresses of the holders of each Note and the principal amount of the Notes held by such holders (the “Registered
Notes”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The Company and
the holders of the Notes shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Note for all purposes (including,
without limitation, the right to receive payments of Principal and Interest hereunder) notwithstanding notice to the contrary. A Registered
Note may be assigned, transferred or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register. Upon its
receipt of a written request to assign, transfer or sell all or part of any Registered Note by the registered holder thereof, the Company
shall record the information contained therein in the Register and issue one or more new Registered Notes in the same aggregate principal
amount as the principal amount of the surrendered Registered Note to the designated assignee or transferee pursuant to Section 20, provided
that if the Company does not so record an assignment, transfer or sale (as the case may be) of all or part of any Registered Note within
two (2) Business Days of such a request, then the Register shall be automatically deemed updated to reflect such assignment, transfer
or sale (as the case may be). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 3, following conversion of any portion
of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless
(A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Note is being converted (in which event this Note shall be delivered to the Company
following conversion thereof as contemplated by Section 3(c)(i)) or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice
(which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this Note. The Holder
and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal, Interest and Late Charges converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and
the dates of such conversions and/or payments (as the case may be) or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder
and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion. If the Company does not update the Register to
record such Principal, Interest and Late Charges converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and the dates of such conversions and/or
payments (as the case may be) within two (2) Business Days of such occurrence, then the Register shall be automatically deemed updated
to reflect such occurrence.
(iv)
Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event that the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one holder of Notes for
the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such portions of the Notes submitted for conversion, the Company,
subject to Section 3(d), shall convert from each holder of Notes electing to have Notes converted on such date a pro rata amount of such
holder’s portion of its Notes submitted for conversion based on the principal amount of Notes submitted for conversion on such
date by such holder relative to the aggregate principal amount of all Notes submitted for conversion on such date. In the event of a
dispute as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder in connection with a conversion of this Note, the Company shall
issue to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 25.
6
(d)
Limitations on Conversions.
(i)
Beneficial Ownership. The Company shall not effect the conversion of any portion of this Note, and the Holder shall not have the
right to convert any portion of this Note pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Note and any such conversion shall be null and
void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder together with the other Attribution
Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common
Stock held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this
Note with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be
issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other
Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company
(including, without limitation, any convertible notes or shares of convertible preferred stock or warrants) beneficially owned by the
Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this
Section 3(d). For purposes of this Section 3(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934
Act. For purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the Holder may acquire upon the conversion of this
Note without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in
(x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public
filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the
Company or the Transfer Agent, if any, setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding
Share Number”). If the Company receives a Conversion Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall notify the Holder in writing of the number
of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Conversion Notice would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial
ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 3(d), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced
number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to such Conversion Notice. For any reason at any time, upon the written or
oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the
Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be
determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder and any
other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance
of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon conversion of this Note results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed
to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined
under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’
aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void
and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of
a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61st)
day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in
such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st)
day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other
Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of Notes that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder. For purposes of clarity, the
shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Note in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially
owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act. No prior inability to
convert this Note pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect
to any subsequent determination of convertibility. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise
than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3(d) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph (or any portion of this
paragraph) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 3(d) or
to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph
may not be amended, modified or waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.

6.
RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF PURCHASE RIGHTS AND OTHER CORPORATE EVENTS.
(a)
Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 7 and 17 below, if at any time the Company grants, issues
or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase shares, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to all or
substantially all of the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will
be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have
acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without taking
into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note) immediately prior to the date on which a record is taken
for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares
of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that to the
extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties
exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to the extent of the Maximum
Percentage (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and
beneficial ownership) to the extent of any such excess) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance (and, if such
Purchase Right has an expiration date, maturity date or other similar provision, such term shall be extended by such number of days held
in abeyance, if applicable) for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in
the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such
right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right held similarly
in abeyance (and, if such Purchase Right has an expiration date, maturity date or other similar provision, such term shall be extended
by such number of days held in abeyance, if applicable)) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).
(b)
Other Corporate Events. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any
Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to
or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure
that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of this Note, at the Holder’s option (i) in addition
to the shares of Common Stock receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which the Holder would have been entitled
with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares of Common Stock been held by the Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate
Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note) or (ii) in lieu of the shares
of Common Stock otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of Common Stock in
connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Note
initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to shares of Common Stock) at a conversion
rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Rate. Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form
and substance satisfactory to the Holder. The provisions of this Section 6 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate
Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of this Note.
12
7.
RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF OTHER SECURITIES.
(a)
Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. Without limiting any provision of Section 6 or
Section 17, if the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock split, share dividend, share combination,
recapitalization or other similar transaction) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of
shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. Without limiting any provision
of Section 6 or Section 17, if the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date combines (by any stock split, share dividend, share
combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. Any adjustment
pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any
event requiring an adjustment under this Section 7(a) occurs during the period that a Conversion Price is calculated hereunder, then
the calculation of such Conversion Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.
(b)
Other Events. In the event that the Company (or any Subsidiary) shall take any action to which the provisions hereof are not strictly
applicable, or, if applicable, would not operate to protect the Holder from dilution or if any event occurs of the type contemplated
by the provisions of this Section 7 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of
share appreciation rights, phantom share rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s board of directors shall
in good faith determine and implement an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the Holder, provided
that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 7(b) will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section
7, provided further that if the Holder does not accept such adjustments as appropriately protecting its interests hereunder against such
dilution, then the Company’s board of directors and the Holder shall agree, in good faith, upon an independent investment bank
of nationally recognized standing to make such appropriate adjustments, whose determination shall be final and binding absent manifest
error and whose fees and expenses shall be borne by the Company.
(c)
Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made by rounding to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th
of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held
by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of shares of Common
Stock.
13
(d)
Voluntary Adjustment by Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the Principal Market, the Company may at any time during
the term of this Note, with the prior written consent of the Required Holders (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), reduce
the then current Conversion Price of each of the Notes to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors
of the Company.
8.
REDEMPTIONS AT THE COMPANY’S ELECTION.
(a)
Company Optional Redemption. At any time the Company shall have the right to redeem all of the outstanding amount then remaining
under this Note (each, a “Company Optional Redemption Amount”) on the Company Optional Redemption Date (each as defined
below) (each, a “Company Optional Redemption”). The Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 8(a) shall
be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price (each, a “Company Optional Redemption Price”) equal to the sum of (i)
Payment Premium, (ii) all outstanding Principal, (iii) and all accrued and unpaid Interest and accrued and unpaid Late Charges on such
Principal and Interest being redeemed, as of the Company Optional Redemption Date. The Company may exercise its right to require redemption
under this Section 8(a) by delivering a written notice thereof by electronic mail and overnight courier to all, but not less than all,
of the holders of Notes (the “Company Optional Redemption Notice” and the date all of the holders of Notes received
such notice is referred to as the “Company Optional Redemption Notice Date”). Each Company Optional Redemption Notice
shall be irrevocable. The Company Optional Redemption Notice shall state the date on which the Company Optional Redemption shall occur
(the “Company Optional Redemption Date”) which date shall not be less than thirty (30) Business Days following the
Company Optional Redemption Notice Date. All amounts converted by the Holder after the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date shall
reduce the Company Optional Redemption Amount of this Note required to be redeemed on the Company Optional Redemption Date. Redemptions
made pursuant to this Section 8(a) shall be made in accordance with Section 13. In the event of the Company’s redemption of any
portion of this Note under this Section 8(a), the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the
parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment
opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 8(a) is intended by the parties to be, and shall
be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. For the avoidance
of doubt, the Company shall have no right to effect a Company Optional Redemption if any Event of Default has occurred and continuing,
but any Event of Default shall have no effect upon the Holder’s right to convert this Note in its discretion.
(b)
Pro Rata Redemption Requirement. If the Company elects to cause a Company Optional Redemption of this Note pursuant to Section
8(a) above, then it must simultaneously take the same action with respect to all of the outstanding Other Notes.

11.
NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation
(as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of
arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance
of any of the terms of this Note, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Note and take all action
as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder of this Note. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision
of this Note or the other Transaction Documents, the Company (a) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable
upon conversion of this Note above the Conversion Price then in effect, and (b) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate
in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this
Note. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if after the six (6) month anniversary of the Issuance Date, the Holder is not
permitted to convert this Note in full for any reason (other than pursuant to restrictions set forth in Section 3(d) hereof), the Company
shall use its best efforts to promptly remedy such failure, including, without limitation, obtaining such consents or approvals as necessary
to permit such conversion into shares of Common Stock.
12.
RESERVATION OF AUTHORIZED SHARES.
(a)
Reservation. So long thereafter as any Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall reserve at least the number of shares of Common
Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Notes then outstanding (without regard to any limitations
on conversions and assuming such Notes remain outstanding until the Maturity Date) at the Conversion Price then in effect (the “Required
Reserve Amount”). The Required Reserve Amount (including, without limitation, each increase in the number of shares so reserved)
shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of the Notes based on the original principal amount of the Notes held by each holder on
the Closing Date or increase in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be (the “Authorized Share Allocation”).
In the event that a holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder’s Notes, each transferee shall be allocated a pro
rata portion of such holder’s Authorized Share Allocation. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which
ceases to hold any Notes shall be allocated to the remaining holders of Notes, pro rata based on the principal amount of the Notes then
held by such holders.
15
(b)
Insufficient Authorized Shares. If, notwithstanding Section 12(a), and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the
Notes remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy
its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Notes at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required
Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase
the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount
for the Notes then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the
occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than seventy-five (75) days after the occurrence of such Authorized
Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its shareholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares
of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each shareholder with a proxy statement and shall use its
best efforts to solicit its shareholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board
of directors to recommend to the shareholders that they approve such proposal. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing
shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Note due to the failure by the Company to have sufficient shares of Common Stock
available out of the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (such unavailable number of shares of Common Stock, the “Authorized
Failure Shares”), in lieu of delivering such Authorized Failure Shares to the Holder, the Company shall pay cash in exchange
for the redemption of such portion of the Conversion Amount convertible into such Authorized Failure Shares at a price equal to the sum
of (i) the product of (x) such number of Authorized Failure Shares and (y) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock
on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date the Holder delivers the applicable Conversion Notice with respect to such
Authorized Failure Shares to the Company and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this Section 12(a); and (ii) to the
extent the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale
by the Holder of Authorized Failure Shares, any brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any, of the Holder incurred
in connection therewith. Nothing contained in Section 12(a) or this Section 12(b) shall limit any obligations of the Company under any
provision of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
13.
REDEMPTIONS.
(a)
Mechanics. The Company shall deliver the applicable Company Optional Redemption Price to the Holder in cash on the applicable
Company Optional Redemption Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in connection with any redemption hereunder at a time
the Holder is entitled to receive a cash payment under any of the other Transaction Documents, at the option of the Holder delivered
in writing to the Company, the applicable Redemption Price hereunder shall be increased by the amount of such cash payment owed to the
Holder under such other Transaction Document and, upon payment in full or conversion in accordance herewith, shall satisfy the Company’s
payment obligation under such other Transaction Document. In the event that the Company does not pay the Company Optional Redemption
Price to the Holder within the time period required, at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid Company Optional Redemption
Price in full, the Holder shall have the option, in lieu of redemption, to require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or
any portion of this Note representing the Company Optional Redemption Amount that was submitted for redemption and for which the Company
Optional Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) has not been paid. Upon the Company’s receipt of such notice,
(x) the applicable Company Optional Redemption Notice shall be null and void with respect to such Conversion Amount, and (y) the Company
shall immediately return this Note, or issue a new Note (in accordance with Section 20(d)), to the Holder, and in each case the Principal
of this Note or such new Note (as the case may be) shall be increased by an amount equal to the difference between (1) the Company Optional
Redemption Price (as the case may be, and as adjusted pursuant to this Section 13, if applicable) minus (2) the Principal portion of
the Company Optional Redemption Amount submitted for redemption. The Holder’s delivery of a notice voiding a Company Optional Redemption
Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments of Late
Charges which have accrued prior to the date of such notice with respect to the Company Optional Redemption Amount subject to such notice.
16
(b)
Redemption by Other Holders. Upon the Company’s receipt of notice from any of the holders of the Other Notes for redemption
or repayment as a result of an event or occurrence substantially similar to the events or occurrences described in Section 4(b) or Section
5(b) (each, an “Other Redemption Notice”), the Company shall immediately, but no later than one (1) Business Day of
its receipt thereof, forward to the Holder by electronic mail a copy of such notice. If the Company receives a Redemption Notice and
one or more Other Redemption Notices, during the seven (7) Business Day period beginning on and including the date which is two (2) Business
Days prior to the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s applicable Redemption Notice and ending on and including the date which
is two (2) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s applicable Redemption Notice and the Company is unable
to redeem all principal, interest and other amounts designated in such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received during
such seven (7) Business Day period, then the Company shall redeem a pro rata amount from each holder of the Notes (including the Holder)
based on the principal amount of the Notes submitted for redemption pursuant to such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices
received by the Company during such seven (7) Business Day period.
14.
VOTING RIGHTS. The Holder shall have no voting rights as the holder of this Note, except as required by law and as expressly provided
in this Note.
15.
COVENANTS. Until all of the Notes (including the Other Notes that may be issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement
from time to time) have been converted, redeemed or otherwise satisfied in accordance with their terms:
(a)
Rank. All payments due under this Note (a) shall rank pari passu with all Other Notes and (b) shall be senior to all other
Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries (other than Permitted Equipment Indebtedness solely with respect to the Permitted Lien

Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the 1933 Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely
in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s share
option or other employee benefit plans), then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a written notice of such determination and, if
within fifteen (15) days after the date of the delivery of such notice, the Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include
in such registration statement or offering statement all or any number of Conversion Shares and/or any share capital of the Company issued

if applicable). If the Company shall receive at any time before the one (1) year anniversary of the date of this Note, a written request
from the Holder that the Company file a Registration Statement under the 1933 Act covering the registration of the resale of the Conversion
Shares, then the Company shall, within twenty (20) days of the receipt thereof, use its best efforts to effect, as soon as practicable,
the registration under the 1933 Act of all Conversion Shares that the Holder request to be registered.

any distribution of cash, shares or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate
rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (the “Distributions”), then the Holder will be
entitled to such Distributions as if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of
this Note (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note) immediately prior to the date
on which a record is taken for such Distribution or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of
Common Stock are to be determined for such Distributions (provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate
in any such Distribution would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder
shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the extent of the Maximum Percentage (and shall not be entitled to beneficial
ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution (and beneficial ownership) to the extent of any such excess)
and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times, if ever, as its
right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times
the Holder shall be granted such Distribution (and any Distributions declared or made on such initial Distribution or on any subsequent
Distribution held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).

remaining outstanding under this Note immediately prior to such issuance of new Notes), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated
on the face of such new Note, which is the same as the Issuance Date of this Note, (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as
this Note, and (v) shall represent accrued and unpaid Interest and Late Charges on the Principal and Interest of this Note, from the

21.
REMEDIES, CHARACTERIZATIONS, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative
and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note and any of the other Transaction Documents at law or in equity (including
a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual
and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note. No failure on the part of the Holder
to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single
or partial exercise by the Holder of any right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power or remedy. In addition, the exercise of any right or remedy of the Holder at law or equity or under this Note or any
of the documents shall not be deemed to be an election of Holder’s rights or remedies under such documents or at law or equity.
The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided
herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall
be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of
the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable
harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event
of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to specific performance
and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such
case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security. The Company shall provide all information
and documentation to the Holder that is requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the
terms and conditions of this Note (including, without limitation, compliance with Section 7).
24
(a)
The Company acknowledges and agrees that: (a) the Payment Premium is a bargained-for component of the overall economic terms of this
Note and additional consideration to the Holder for purchasing this Note available on the terms set forth herein, including the interest
rate and other economic terms, and is not a penalty or forfeiture; (b) the Payment Premium is fully earned by the Holder as of the Issuance
Date of this Note in consideration of Holder’s agreement to purchase this Note on the terms herein, and constitutes additional
compensation to the Holder for the costs, expenses, and lost opportunities associated with the making, funding, and administration of
this Note, including without limitation loss of yield, reinvestment risk, and costs of unwinding any related hedging or funding arrangements,
irrespective of whether this Note is repaid at maturity or repaid prior to maturity for any reason; (c) the Payment Premium is not a
charge for a specific service or benefit, does not constitute interest or a charge in the nature of interest on this Note, and is not
tied to, or conditioned upon, any prepayment election by the Company; (d) to the extent characterized as liquidated damages under applicable
law, the actual damages that the Holder would incur are difficult or impracticable to ascertain with precision as of the date hereof,
and the Payment Premium represents the parties’ reasonable and good-faith estimate of such damages, agreed upon as liquidated damages
and not as a penalty, in accordance with applicable law; (e) the Company ‘s obligation to pay the Payment Premium is absolute and
unconditional and is not optional; the Payment Premium shall be due and payable in full upon the repayment of this Note in its entirety,
regardless of the manner, timing, or cause of such repayment, including without limitation repayment at the scheduled Maturity Date,
any prepayment (whether voluntary or involuntary), acceleration of the Principal under this Note following an Event of Default, application
of insurance or condemnation proceeds, a refinancing or sale of the property or collateral securing the obligations under this Note and
the other Transaction Documents, or any other repayment of this Note in full by any means whatsoever, it being the express intent of
the parties that the Payment Premium shall be payable no matter how or when this Note is repaid; (f) the Company has had the opportunity
to negotiate the terms of this Agreement, including the Payment Premium, with the assistance of counsel of its choosing, and has agreed
to the Payment Premium as a material inducement for the Holder to purchase this Note; and (g) the Holder would not have agreed to purchase
this Note on the terms set forth in this Agreement without Borrower’s agreement to pay the Payment Premium as and when due, and
would not have agreed to the interest rate and other economic terms of this Note in the absence of the Payment Premium.
(b)
The Company expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right to assert that the Payment Premium constitutes
a penalty, forfeiture, or unlawful liquidated damages, or that it is unenforceable, unreasonable, or otherwise void as against public
policy, and the Company further waives the benefit of any present or future law that would otherwise render the Payment Premium void,
voidable, or unenforceable in whole or in part. The Company further acknowledges that the Payment Premium is due and payable even if
this Note is repaid in full at its scheduled Maturity Date without any prepayment, it being agreed that the Payment Premium is earned
in consideration of the Holder’s agreement to purchase this Note and is not contingent upon an early repayment or any exercise
of a prepayment right by the Company. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Payment Premium (or any portion thereof)
is unenforceable as written, the Payment Premium shall be automatically reduced to the maximum amount that would be enforceable under
applicable law, and such reduction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Note or any other Transaction
Document.
25
22.
PAYMENT OF COLLECTION, ENFORCEMENT AND OTHER COSTS. If (a) this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement
or is collected or enforced through any legal proceeding or the Holder otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under this Note
or to enforce the provisions of this Note or (b) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of the Company or other proceedings
affecting Company creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Note, then the Company shall pay the costs incurred by the
Holder for such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding,
including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements. The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that no amounts
due under this Note shall be affected, or limited, by the fact that the purchase price paid for this Note was less than the original
Principal amount hereof.
23.
CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS. This Note shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the initial Holder and shall not be
construed against any such Person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Note are for convenience of reference and shall not form
part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Note. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed
to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,”
“include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.”
The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Note instead
of just the provision in which they are found. Unless expressly indicated otherwise, all section references are to sections of this Note.
Terms used in this Note and not otherwise defined herein, but defined in the other Transaction Documents, shall have the meanings ascribed
to such terms on the Closing Date in such other Transaction Documents unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Holder.
24.
FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude
other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and
signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 24 shall
permit any waiver of any provision of Section 3(d).
25.

warranty, to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at

conducted by such Buyer or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Buyer’s right to rely
on the Company’s representations and warranties contained herein. Such Buyer understands that its investment in the Securities
involves a high degree of risk. Such Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an
informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities.

rule thereto) (collectively, “Rule 144”); (ii) any sale of the Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made
only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144, and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Securities under circumstances

1933 Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder;
and (iii) neither the Company nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the 1933 Act or any state
securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securities
may be pledged in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan or financing arrangement secured by the Securities and such
pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and no Buyer effecting a pledge
of Securities shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant
to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (as defined in Section 3(b)), including, without limitation, this Section 2(g).

or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies and except as rights to indemnification and
to contribution may be limited by federal or state securities law. Prior to the Closing, the Transaction Documents to which each Subsidiary

(f) Acknowledgment
Regarding Buyer’s Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each Buyer is acting solely in the capacity
of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and

hereby and thereby is merely incidental to such Buyer’s purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to each Buyer
that the Company’s and each Subsidiary’s decision to enter into the Transaction Documents to which it is a party has been

or under any applicable shareholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any exchange

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

(l) Absence
of Certain Changes. Except as set forth in Schedule 3(l), since the date of the Company’s most recent audited financial
statements contained in an Annual Report on Form 10-K, there has been no material adverse change and no material adverse development
in the business, assets, liabilities, properties, operations (including results thereof), condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Since the date of the Company’s most recent audited financial statements contained in
an Annual Report on Form 10-K, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has (i) declared or paid any dividends, (ii) sold any
assets, individually or in the aggregate, outside of the ordinary course of business or (iii) made any capital expenditures, individually
or in the aggregate, outside of the ordinary course of business. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any steps
to seek protection pursuant to any law or statute relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, liquidation or winding
up, nor does the Company or any Subsidiary have any knowledge or reason to believe that any of their respective creditors intend to initiate
involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any actual knowledge of any fact which would reasonably lead a creditor to do so. The Company and
its Subsidiaries, individually and on a consolidated basis, are not as of the date hereof, and after giving effect to the transactions
contemplated hereby to occur at the Closing, will not be Insolvent (as defined below). For purposes of this Section 3(l), “Insolvent”
means, (i) with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, (A) the present fair saleable value of the Company’s
and its Subsidiaries’ assets is less than the amount required to pay the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ total Indebtedness
(as defined below), (B) the Company and its Subsidiaries are unable to pay their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise,
as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured or (C) the Company and its Subsidiaries intend to incur or believe that they
will incur debts that would be beyond their ability to pay as such debts mature; and (ii) with respect to the Company and each Subsidiary,
individually, (A) the present fair saleable value of the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s (as the case may be) assets is less
than the amount required to pay its respective total Indebtedness, (B) the Company or such Subsidiary (as the case may be) is unable
to pay its respective debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and
matured or (C) the Company or such Subsidiary (as the case may be) intends to incur or believes that it will incur debts that would be
beyond its respective ability to pay as such debts mature. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in any business
or in any transaction, and is not about to engage in any business or in any transaction, for which the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s
remaining assets constitute unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which it is engaged as such business is
now conducted and is proposed to be conducted.
9
(m) No
Undisclosed Events, Liabilities, Developments or Circumstances. Except as set forth in Schedule 3(m), no event, liability,
development or circumstance has occurred or exists, or is reasonably expected to exist or occur with respect to the Company, any of its
Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, properties, liabilities, prospects, operations (including results thereof) or condition
(financial or otherwise), that (i) would be required to be disclosed by the Company under applicable securities laws on a registration
statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC relating to an issuance and sale by the Company of its shares of Common Stock and which has
not been publicly announced, (ii) could have a material adverse effect on any Buyer’s investment hereunder or (iii) could have
a Material Adverse Effect.
(n) Conduct
of Business; Regulatory Permits. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any term of or in default under
its Certificate of Incorporation, any certificate of designation, preferences or rights of any other outstanding series of preferred
shares of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or its organizational charter, certificate of formation, memorandum of association,
articles of association, certificate of incorporation or bylaws, as applicable. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in
violation of any judgment, decree or order or any statute, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will conduct its business in violation of any of the foregoing, except in all cases
for possible violations which could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as disclosed in the
SEC Documents, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company is not in violation of any of the rules, regulations or
requirements of the Principal Market and has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances that could reasonably lead to delisting or suspension
of the Common Stock by the Principal Market in the foreseeable future. During the two years prior to the date hereof, (i) the Common
Stock has been listed or designated for quotation on the Principal Market, (ii) trading in the shares of Common Stock has not been suspended
by the SEC or the Principal Market and (iii) the Company has received no communication, written or oral, from the SEC or the Principal
Market regarding the suspension or delisting of the Common Stock from the Principal Market. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries
possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective
businesses, except where the failure to possess such certificates, authorizations or permits would not reasonably be expected to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has received any notice
of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate, authorization or permit. There is no agreement, commitment,
judgment, injunction, order or decree binding upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
is a party which has or would reasonably be expected to have the effect of prohibiting or materially impairing any business practice
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any acquisition of property by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the conduct of business
by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as currently conducted other than such effects, individually or in the aggregate, which have
not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

high probability that all or a portion of such money or thing of value would be offered, given or promised, directly or indirectly, to
any Government Official, for the purpose of:
(i) (A)
influencing any act or decision of such Government Official in his/her official capacity, (B) inducing such Government Official to do

(i) a party to any transaction with the Company or its Subsidiaries (including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing
for the furnishing of services by, or rental of real or personal property from, or otherwise requiring payments to, any such director,

through an Eligible Market (as defined in Section 4(f))), nor does any such Person receive income from any source other than the Company
or its Subsidiaries which relates to the business of the Company or its Subsidiaries or should properly accrue to the Company or its
Subsidiaries. No employee, officer, shareholder or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or member of his or her immediate
family is indebted to the Company or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, nor is the Company or any of its Subsidiaries indebted (or
committed to make loans or extend or guarantee credit) to any of them, other than (i) for payment of salary for services rendered, (ii)

(t)
Litigation. There is no action, suit, arbitration, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by the Principal Market, any
court, public board, other Governmental Entity, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened
against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the shares of Common Stock or any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’
officers or directors, whether of a civil or criminal nature or otherwise, in their capacities as such. No director, officer or employee
of the Company or any of its subsidiaries has willfully violated 18 U.S.C. §1519 or engaged in spoliation in reasonable anticipation
of litigation. Without limitation of the foregoing, there has not been, and to the knowledge of the Company, there is not pending or
contemplated, any investigation by the SEC involving the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any current or former director or officer
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The SEC has not issued any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration
statement filed by the Company under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act. After reasonable inquiry of its employees, the Company is not aware
of any fact which might result in or form the basis for any such action, suit, arbitration, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding.
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of
any Governmental Entity.
(u) Insurance.
The Company has an effective and available directors and officer’s insurance policy from an insurer of recognized financial responsibility
in an aggregate amount of at least $5,000,000. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought
or applied for, and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will be unable to renew its existing
insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue
its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
(v) Employee
Relations. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any collective bargaining agreement or employs any member
of a union. The Company and its Subsidiaries believe that their relations with their employees are good. No executive officer (as defined
in Rule 501(f) promulgated under the 1933 Act) or other key employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has notified the Company
or any such Subsidiary that such officer intends to leave the Company or any such Subsidiary or otherwise terminate such officer’s
employment with the Company or any such Subsidiary. No current (or former) executive officer or other key employee of the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality,
disclosure or proprietary information agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant,
and the continued employment of each such executive officer or other key employee (as the case may be) does not subject the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance
with all federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting labor, employment and employment practices and benefits, terms
and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where failure to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
14
(w) Title.
(i) Real
Property. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries holds good title to all real property, leases in real property, facilities or
other interests in real property owned or held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Real Property”) owned
by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as applicable). The Real Property is free and clear of all Liens and is not subject to any
rights of way, building use restrictions, exceptions, variances, reservations, or limitations of any nature except for (a) Liens for
current taxes not yet due and (b) zoning laws and other land use restrictions that do not impair the present or anticipated use of the
property subject thereto. Any Real Property held under lease by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid,
subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be
made of such property and buildings by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(ii) Fixtures
and Equipment. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries (as applicable) has good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, the
tangible personal property, equipment, improvements, fixtures, and other personal property and appurtenances that are used by the Company
or its Subsidiary in connection with the conduct of its business (the “Fixtures and Equipment”). The Fixtures and
Equipment are structurally sound, are in good operating condition and repair, are adequate for the uses to which they are being put,
are not in need of maintenance or repairs except for ordinary, routine maintenance and repairs and are sufficient for the conduct of
the Company’s and/or its Subsidiaries’ businesses (as applicable) in the manner as conducted prior to the Closing. Each of
the Company and its Subsidiaries owns all of its Fixtures and Equipment free and clear of all Liens except for (a) liens for current
taxes not yet due and (b) zoning laws and other land use restrictions that do not impair the present or anticipated use of the property
subject thereto.
15
(x) Intellectual
Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess adequate rights or licenses to use all trademarks, trade names,
service marks, service mark registrations, service names, original works of authorship, patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions,
licenses, approvals, governmental authorizations, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights and all applications and registrations
therefor (as applicable) (“Intellectual Property Rights”) necessary to conduct their respective businesses as now
conducted and presently proposed to be conducted. Each of the patents owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is listed on Schedule
3(x)(i). Except as set forth in Schedule 3(x)(ii), none of the Company’s Intellectual Property Rights have expired or
terminated or have been abandoned or are expected to expire or terminate or are expected to be abandoned, within three years from the
date of this Agreement that would have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company does not have any knowledge of any infringement by the
Company or its Subsidiaries of Intellectual Property Rights of others that would result in a Material Adverse Effect. There is no claim,
action or proceeding being made or brought, or to the knowledge of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, being threatened, against
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries regarding its Intellectual Property Rights. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is
aware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing infringements or claims, actions or proceedings. The
Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their
Intellectual Property Rights, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(y) Environmental
Laws. (i) To the extent applicable, the Company and its Subsidiaries (A) are in compliance with any and all Environmental Laws (as
defined below), (B) have received all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct
their respective businesses and (C) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval where, in
each of the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the failure to so comply could be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The term “Environmental Laws” means all federal, state, local or foreign laws
relating to pollution or protection of human health or the environment (including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater,
land surface or subsurface strata), including, without limitation, laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases
of chemicals, pollutants, contaminants, or toxic or hazardous substances or wastes (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”)
into the environment, or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport
or handling of Hazardous Materials, as well as all authorizations, codes, decrees, demands or demand letters, injunctions, judgments,
licenses, notices or notice letters, orders, permits, plans or regulations issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder.
(i) To
the extent applicable, no Hazardous Materials:
(A) have
been disposed of or otherwise released from any Real Property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in violation of any Environmental
Laws; or
(B) are
present on, over, beneath, in or upon any Real Property or any portion thereof in quantities that would constitute a violation of any
Environmental Laws. No prior use by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any Real Property has occurred that violates any Environmental
Laws, which violation would have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
16
(ii) Neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries knows of any other person who or entity which has stored, treated, recycled, disposed of or otherwise
located on any Real Property any Hazardous Materials, including, without limitation, such substances as asbestos and polychlorinated
biphenyls.
(iii) None
of the Real Properties are on any federal or state “Superfund” list or Liability Information System (“CERCLIS”)
list or any state environmental agency list of sites under consideration for CERCLIS, nor subject to any environmental related Liens.
(z) Subsidiary
Rights. The Company or one of its Subsidiaries has the unrestricted right to vote, and (subject to limitations imposed by applicable
law) to receive dividends and distributions on, all capital securities of its Subsidiaries as owned by the Company or such Subsidiary
and all capital securities of its Subsidiaries contractually owned by the Company or such Subsidiary through variable interest entity
agreements as set forth on Schedule 3(z).
(aa) Tax
Status. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries (i) has timely made or filed all foreign, federal and state income and all other
tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has timely paid all taxes and other governmental
assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations, except
those being contested in good faith and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for
periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount
claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries know of no basis
for any such claim. The Company is not operated in such a manner as to qualify as a passive foreign investment company, as defined in
Section 1297 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”)
for United States federal income tax purposes of the consolidated group of which the Company is the common parent, if any, shall not
be adversely effected by the transactions contemplated hereby. The transactions contemplated hereby do not constitute an “ownership
change” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Code, thereby preserving the Company’s ability to utilize such NOLs.
(bb) Internal
Accounting and Disclosure Controls. Except as otherwise disclosed in the SEC Documents, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries
maintains internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the 1934 Act) that is effective
to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, including that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with
management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset and liability accountability, (iii) access to assets or incurrence of liabilities
is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets
and liabilities is compared with the existing assets and liabilities at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect
to any difference. The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the 1934
Act) that are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits
under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC,
including, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in
the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including
its principal executive officer or officers and its principal financial officer or officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice or correspondence from any accountant,
Governmental Entity or other Person relating to any potential material weakness or significant deficiency in any part of the internal
controls over financial reporting of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
17
(cc) Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements. There is no transaction, arrangement, or other relationship between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
and an unconsolidated or other off balance sheet entity that is required to be disclosed by the Company in its 1934 Act filings and is
not so disclosed or that otherwise could be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(dd)
Investment Company Status. The Company is not, and upon consummation of the sale of the Securities will not be, an “investment
company,” an affiliate of an “investment company,” a company controlled by an “investment company” or an
“affiliated person” of, or “promoter” or “principal underwriter” for, an “investment company”
as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(ee) Acknowledgement
Regarding Buyers’ Trading Activity. It is understood and acknowledged by the Company that, as of the date hereof, the Buyer
does not hold a Net Short Position, and agrees that, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, it shall not maintain a Net Short Position.
For purposes hereof, a “Net Short Position” means a position whereby such Buyer has executed one or more sales of
Common Stock marked as a “short sale” (excluding any sale marked “short exempt”) at a time when such Buyer has
no equivalent offsetting “long” position in the Common Stock, determined in accordance with Regulation SHO under the 1934
Act. For purposes of determining such Buyer’s “long” position: (A) all shares of Common Stock owned by such Buyer shall
be deemed held “long” by such Buyer; and (B) all shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to such Buyer (or its designee,
if applicable) pursuant to conversion of the Notes or any other Transaction Document — including, without limitation, shares issued
or issuable upon or following delivery of a Conversion Notice (as defined in the Notes) — shall be deemed held “long”
by such Buyer from and after the date of delivery of the applicable Conversion Notice, until such time as such Buyer shall no longer
beneficially own such shares of Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, no sale shall constitute a breach of this Section to the extent
such sale (i) results from a bona fide trading error on behalf of such Buyer (or its affiliates) or (ii) would otherwise be marked “long”
but for the occurrence of a Conversion Failure (as defined in the Notes) or any other breach by the Company (or its affiliates or agents,
including, without limitation, the Transfer Agent) of any Transaction Document. The Company further acknowledges and agrees that following
the public disclosure of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents each Buyer may engage in trading activities at various
times during the period that the Securities are outstanding and such trading activities, if any, can reduce the value of the existing
shareholders’ equity interest in the Company both at and after the time trading activities are being conducted. The Company acknowledges
and agrees that such aforementioned trading activities do not constitute a breach of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
18
(ff) Manipulation
of Price. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has, and, to the knowledge of the Company, no Person acting on their behalf
has, directly or indirectly, (i) taken any action designed to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of
any security of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Securities, (ii) sold, bid for,
purchased, or paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the Securities, (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any Person any
compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (iv) paid or agreed
to pay any Person for research services with respect to any securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(gg) U.S.
Real Property Holding Corporation. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is, or has ever been, and so long as any of the
Securities are held by any of the Buyers, shall become, a U.S. real property holding corporation within the meaning of Section 897 of
the Code, and the Company and each Subsidiary shall so certify upon any Buyer’s request.
(hh) Registration
Eligibility. The Company is eligible to register the Conversion Shares for resale by the Buyers using Form S-1 promulgated under
the 1933 Act.
(ii) Transfer
Taxes. On the Closing Date, all share transfer or other taxes (other than income or similar taxes) which are required to be paid

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

the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities or twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the total equity of a bank or any entity
that is subject to the BHCA and to regulation by the Federal Reserve. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates exercises
a controlling influence over the management or policies of a bank or any entity that is subject to the BHCA and to regulation by the
Federal Reserve.

knowledge (after reasonable inquiry of its officers and directors), any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or other representatives
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other business entity or enterprise with which the Company or any Subsidiary is or has
been affiliated or associated, has, directly or indirectly, made or authorized any payment, contribution or gift of money, property,
or services, whether or not in contravention of applicable law, (i) as a kickback or bribe to any Person or (ii) to any political organization,

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

out of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall pay, and hold each Buyer harmless against, any liability, loss or expense
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection with any claim relating
to any such payment. Except as otherwise set forth in the Transaction Documents, each party to this Agreement shall bear its own expenses
in connection with the sale of the Securities to the Buyers.
(h) Pledge
of Securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company acknowledges and agrees that the
Securities may be pledged by a Buyer in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured
by the Securities. The pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and
no Buyer effecting a pledge of Securities shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery
to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including, without limitation, Section 2(g) hereof; provided
that a Buyer and its pledgee shall be required to comply with the provisions of Section 2(g) hereof in order to effect a sale, transfer
or assignment of Securities to such pledgee. The Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the
Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Securities to such pledgee by a Buyer.
(i) Disclosure
of Transactions and Other Material Information.
(i) Disclosure
of Transaction. On or before 9:00 a.m., New York time, on the second (2nd) Business Day after the date of this Agreement, the Company
shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K describing all the material terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents
in the form required by the 1934 Act and attaching all the material Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, this Agreement
(and all schedules to this Agreement), the form of Note, the form of Security Agreement and the form of Guaranties) (including all attachments,
the “8-K Filing”). From and after the filing of the Initial 8-K Filing, the Company shall have disclosed all material,
non-public information (if any) provided to any of the Buyers by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers,
directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. In addition, effective
upon the filing of the 8-K Filing, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under
any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors,
affiliates, employees or agents, on the one hand, and any of the Buyers or any of their affiliates, on the other hand, shall terminate.
From and after the filing of the 8-K Filing, the Company shall have disclosed all material, non-public information (if any) provided
to any of the Buyers by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Lead Buyer,
no later than August 12, 2026, the Company agrees that it shall disclose all material, non-public information (if any) provided to any
of the Buyers by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents that is not
otherwise disclosed in the 8-K Filing.
26
(ii) Limitations
on Disclosure. The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and each of its and their respective officers,
directors, employees and agents not to, provide any Buyer with any material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries from and after the date hereof without the express prior written consent of such Buyer (which may be granted or withheld
in such Buyer’s sole discretion) except as required by applicable law and regulations or pursuant to Section 4(o) hereof. In the
event of a breach of any of the foregoing covenants, including, without limitation, Section 4(o) of this Agreement, or any of the covenants
or agreements contained in any other Transaction Document, by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of its or their respective
officers, directors, employees and agents (as determined in the reasonable good faith judgment of such Buyer), in addition to any other
remedy provided herein or in the Transaction Documents, such Buyer shall have the right to make a public disclosure, in the form of a
press release, public advertisement or otherwise, of such breach or such material, non-public information, as applicable, without the
prior approval by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents. No
Buyer shall have any liability to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees,
affiliates, shareholders or agents, for any such disclosure. To the extent that the Company delivers any material, non-public information
to a Buyer without such Buyer’s consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that such Buyer shall not have any duty of confidentiality
with respect to, or a duty not to trade on the basis of, such material, non-public information. Subject to the foregoing, neither the
Company, its Subsidiaries nor any Buyer shall issue any press releases or any other public statements with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby; provided, however, the Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of any Buyer, to make the Press Release
and any press release or other public disclosure with respect to such transactions (i) in substantial conformity with the 8-K Filing
and contemporaneously therewith and (ii) as is required by applicable law and regulations (provided that in the case of clause (i) each
Buyer shall be consulted by the Company in connection with any such press release or other public disclosure prior to its release). Without
the prior written consent of the applicable Buyer (which may be granted or withheld in such Buyer’s sole discretion), the Company
shall not (and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and affiliates to not) disclose the name of such Buyer in any filing, announcement,
release or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary and without implication that the contrary
would otherwise be true, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that no Buyer shall have (unless expressly agreed to by a particular
Buyer after the date hereof in a written definitive and binding agreement executed by the Company and such particular Buyer (it being
understood and agreed that no Buyer may bind any other Buyer with respect thereto)), any duty of confidentiality with respect to, or
a duty not to trade on the basis of, any material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, provided,
however, that each Buyer shall remain subject to applicable securities laws.
27
(iii) Other
Confidential Information. Disclosure Failures; Disclosure Delay Payments. In addition to other remedies set forth in this Section
4(i), and without limiting anything set forth in any other Transaction Document, at any time after the Closing Date if the Company, any
of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents, provides any Buyer with material non-public
information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, the “Confidential Information”), the Company
shall, on or prior to the applicable Required Disclosure Date (as defined below), publicly disclose such Confidential Information on
a Current Report on Form 8-K or otherwise (each, a “Disclosure”). From and after such Disclosure, the Company shall
have disclosed all Confidential Information provided to such Buyer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. In addition,
effective upon such Disclosure, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any
agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, affiliates,
employees or agents, on the one hand, and any of the Buyers or any of their affiliates, on the other hand, shall terminate. In the event
that the Company fails to effect such Disclosure on or prior to the Required Disclosure Date and such Buyer shall have possessed Confidential
Information for at least ten (10) consecutive Trading Days (each, a “Disclosure Failure”), then, as partial relief
for the damages to such Buyer by reason of any such delay in, or reduction of, its ability to buy or sell shares of Common Stock after
such Required Disclosure Date (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity), the Company
shall pay to such Buyer an amount in cash equal to the greater of (I) one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate principal amount of Notes purchased
by such Buyer hereunder and (II) the applicable Disclosure Restitution Amount, on each of the following dates (each, a “Disclosure
Delay Payment Date”) on every thirty (30) day anniversary such Disclosure Failure until the earlier of (x) the date such Disclosure
Failure is cured and (y) such time as all such non-public information provided to such Buyer shall cease to be Confidential Information
(as evidenced by a certificate, duly executed by an authorized officer of the Company to the foregoing effect) (such earlier date, as
applicable, a “Disclosure Cure Date”). Following the initial Disclosure Delay Payment for any particular Disclosure
Failure, without limiting the foregoing, if a Disclosure Cure Date occurs prior to any thirty (30) day anniversary of such Disclosure
Failure, then such Disclosure Delay Payment (prorated for such partial month) shall be made on the second (2nd) Business Day after such
Disclosure Cure Date. The payments to which a Buyer shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4(i)(iii) are referred to herein as “Disclosure
Delay Payments.” In the event the Company fails to make Disclosure Delay Payments in a timely manner in accordance with the
foregoing, such Disclosure Delay Payments shall bear interest at the rate of one and one half percent (1.5%) per month (prorated for
partial months) until paid in full.
28
(iv) For
the purpose of this Agreement the following definitions shall apply:
(1)
“Disclosure Failure Market Price” means, as of any Disclosure Delay Payment Date, the price computed as the quotient
of (I) the sum of the five (5) highest VWAPs (as defined below) of the Common Stock during the applicable Disclosure Restitution Period
(as defined below), divided by (II) five (5) (such period, the “Disclosure Failure Measuring Period”). All such determinations
to be appropriately adjusted for any share dividend, share split, share combination, reclassification or similar transaction that proportionately
decreases or increases the Common Stock during such Disclosure Failure Measuring Period.
(2) “Disclosure
Restitution Amount” means, as of any Disclosure Delay Payment Date, the product of (x) difference of (I) the Disclosure Failure
Market Price less (II) the lowest purchase price, per share of Common Stock, of any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to such
Buyer pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, multiplied by (y) 5% of the aggregate daily dollar trading volume
(as reported on the Reporting Service) of the shares of Common Stock on the Principal Market for each Trading Day (as defined below)
either (1) with respect to the initial Disclosure Delay Payment Date, during the period commencing on the applicable Required Disclosure
Date through and including the Trading Day immediately prior to the initial Disclosure Delay Payment Date or (2) with respect to each
other Disclosure Delay Payment Date, during the period commencing the immediately preceding Disclosure Delay Payment Date through and
including the Trading Day immediately prior to such applicable Disclosure Delay Payment Date (such applicable period, the “Disclosure
Restitution Period”).
(3) “Required
Disclosure Date” means (x) if such Buyer authorized the delivery of such Confidential Information, either (I) if the Company
and such Buyer have mutually agreed upon a date (as evidenced by an e-mail or other writing) of Disclosure of such Confidential Information,
such agreed upon date or (II) otherwise, the seventh (7th) calendar day after the date such Buyer first received any Confidential
Information or (y) if such Buyer did not authorize the delivery of such Confidential Information, the first (1st) Business
Day after such Buyer’s receipt of such Confidential Information.
(4) “Trading
Day” means, as applicable, (x) with respect to all price or trading volume determinations relating to the shares of Common
Stock, any day on which the Common Stock is traded on the Principal Market, or, if the Principal Market is not the principal trading
market for the Common Stock, then on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded,
provided that “Trading Day” shall not include any day on which the Common Stock is scheduled to trade on such exchange or
market for less than 4.5 hours or any day that the Common Stock is suspended from trading during the final hour of trading on such exchange
or market (or if such exchange or market does not designate in advance the closing time of trading on such exchange or market, then during
the hour ending at 4:00 p.m., New York time) unless such day is otherwise designated as a Trading Day in writing by the Holder or (y)
with respect to all determinations other than price determinations relating to the Common Stock, any day on which The New York Stock
Exchange (or any successor thereto) is open for trading of securities.
29
(5) “VWAP
“means, for any security as of any date, the dollar volume-weighted average price for such security on the Principal Market
(or, if the Principal Market is not the principal trading market for such security, then on the principal securities exchange or securities
market on which such security is then traded), during the period beginning at 9:30 a.m., New York time, and ending at 4:00 p.m., New
York time, as reported by the Reporting Service through its “VAP” function (set to 09:30 start time and 16:00 end time) or
FactSet or, if the foregoing does not apply, the dollar volume-weighted average price of such security in the over-the-counter market
on the electronic bulletin board for such security during the period beginning at 9:30 a.m., New York time, and ending at 4:00 p.m.,
New York time, as reported by the Reporting Service, or, if no dollar volume-weighted average price is reported for such security by
the Reporting Service for such hours, the average of the highest closing bid price and the lowest closing ask price of any of the market
makers for such security as reported in The Pink Open Market (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting
prices). If the VWAP cannot be calculated for such security on such date on any of the foregoing bases, the VWAP of such security on
such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Holder. All such determinations shall be appropriately
adjusted for any share dividend, share split, share combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction during such period
(j) Registration
Statements. Until the Applicable Date (as defined below) and at any time thereafter while any registration statement registering
the resale of the Conversion Shares is not effective or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use or any Current Public
Information Failure (as defined in the Notes) exists, the Company shall not file a registration statement or an offering statement under
the 1933 Act relating to securities that are not the Conversion Shares (other than a registration statement on Form S-8 or such supplements
or amendments to registration statements that are outstanding and have been declared effective by the SEC as of the date hereof (solely
to the extent necessary to keep such registration statements effective and available and not with respect to any Subsequent Placement)).
“Applicable Date” means the earlier of (x) the first date on which a registration statement registering the resale
by the Buyers of all the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the terms of the Notes is declared effective
by the SEC (and each prospectus contained therein is available for use on such date) or (y) the first date on which all of the Conversion
Shares issuable upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the terms of the Notes then outstanding are eligible to be resold by the
Buyers pursuant to Rule 144 (or, if a Current Public Information Failure has occurred and is continuing, such later date after which
the Company has cured such Current Public Information Failure).
30
(k) Additional
Issuance of Securities. During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the date no Notes remain outstanding (the “Covenant
Period”), the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Lead Buyer, issue any Notes (other than to the Buyers
as contemplated hereby) and the Company shall not issue any other securities that would cause a breach or default under this Agreement
or the Notes. The Company agrees that during the Covenant Period, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall directly or indirectly
issue, offer, sell, grant any option or right to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any issuance, offer, sale, grant of any
option or right to purchase or other disposition of) any equity security or any equity-linked or related security (including, without
limitation, any “equity security” (as that term is defined under Rule 405 promulgated under the 1933 Act), any Convertible
Securities (as defined below), any debt, any preferred shares or any purchase rights) (any such issuance, offer, sale, grant, disposition
or announcement (whether occurring during the Covenant Period or at any time thereafter) is referred to as a “Subsequent Placement”).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4(k) shall not apply in respect of the issuance of (i) shares of Common Stock or standard
options to purchase shares of Common Stock to directors, officers or employees of the Company in their capacity as such pursuant to an
Approved Share Plan (as defined below) or such agreements with such directors, officers or employees of the Company existing as of the
date of this Agreement, provided that the exercise price of any such options is not lowered, none of such options are amended to increase
the number of shares issuable thereunder and none of the terms or conditions of any such options are otherwise materially changed in
any manner that adversely affects any of the Buyers; (ii) shares of Common stock issued upon the conversion or exercise of Convertible
Securities (other than standard options to purchase shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to an Approved Share Plan or such agreements
with such directors, officers or employees of the Company existing as of the date of this Agreement that are covered by clause (i) above)
issued prior to the date hereof, provided that the conversion, exercise or other method of issuance (as the case may be) of any such
Convertible Security is made solely pursuant to the conversion, exercise or other method of issuance (as the case may be) provisions
of such Convertible Security that were in effect on the date immediately prior to the date of this Agreement, the conversion, exercise
or issuance price of any such Convertible Securities (other than standard options to purchase shares of Common Stock issued pursuant
to an Approved Share Plan or such agreements with such directors, officers or employees of the Company existing as of the date of this
Agreement that are covered by clause (i) above) is not lowered, none of such Convertible Securities (other than standard options to purchase
shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to an Approved Share Plan or such agreements with such directors, officers or employees of the
Company existing as of the date of this Agreement that are covered by clause (i) above) are amended to increase the number of shares
issuable thereunder and none of the terms or conditions of any such Convertible Securities (other than standard options to purchase shares
of Common Stock issued pursuant to an Approved Share Plan or such agreements with such directors, officers or employees of the Company
existing as of the date of this Agreement that are covered by clause (i) above) are otherwise materially changed in any manner that adversely
affects any of the Buyers; (iii) and the Conversion Shares; (each of the foregoing in clauses (i) through (iii), collectively the “Excluded
Securities”), provided, however, that no issuance of any Excluded Securities (other than issuances pursuant to an Approved
Share Plan) shall be permitted at an effective consideration price per share less than or equal to 110% of the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to such issuance. “Approved Share Plan” means any employee benefit plan which has been approved
by the board of directors of the Company prior to or subsequent to the date hereof pursuant to which Common Stock and standard options
to purchase shares of Common Stock may be issued to any employee, officer or director for services provided to the Company in their capacity
as such. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(k), if the Company does not repay any amounts outstanding under the
Note in full on before the Maturity Date (as defined in the Notes) as set forth therein, then beginning ten (10) Business Days following
the Maturity Date, the Company shall be permitted to effect a Subsequent Placement provided that the net proceeds of such Subsequent
Placement are sufficient to pay any such outstanding amounts under the Note in full and such payment is made concurrently with the closing
of such Subsequent Placement.
31
(l) Reservation
of Shares. During the Covenant Period, the Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved
for the purpose of issuance, no less than 200% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or otherwise
pursuant to the terms of all the Notes then outstanding (assuming for purposes hereof that (i) the Notes are convertible at the Conversion
Price as of such applicable date of determination, (ii) interest on the Notes shall accrue through the three (3) month anniversary of
the Closing Date and will be added to the principal of the Note and converted into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal
to the Conversion Price as of such applicable date of determination, (iii) the Payment Premium (as defined in the Notes) is included
in the principal of the Notes, and (iv) any such conversion shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of the Notes
set forth in the Notes) (collectively, the “Required Reserve Amount”); provided that at no time shall the number of
shares of Common Stock reserved pursuant to this Section 4(l) be reduced other than proportionally in connection with any conversion,
exercise and/or redemption, as applicable of Notes. If at any time the number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance
is not sufficient to meet the Required Reserve Amount, the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to authorize and
reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of shareholders to authorize additional
shares to meet the Company’s obligations pursuant to the Transaction Documents, in the case of an insufficient number of authorized
shares, obtain shareholder approval of an increase in such authorized number of shares, and voting the management shares of the Company
in favor of an increase in the authorized shares of the Company to ensure that the number of authorized shares is sufficient to meet
the Required Reserve Amount.
(m) Conduct
of Business. The business of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation
of any Governmental Entity, except where such violations would not reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate,
in a Material Adverse Effect.
(n) Other
Notes; Variable Securities. During the Covenant Period, the Company and each Subsidiary shall be prohibited from effecting or entering
into an agreement to effect any Subsequent Placement involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction”
means a transaction in which the Company or any Subsidiary (i) issues or sells any Convertible Securities either (A) at a conversion,
exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the Common Stock
at any time after the initial issuance of such Convertible Securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject
to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such Convertible Securities or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent
events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock, other than pursuant to a customary
“weighted average” anti-dilution provision or (ii) enters into any agreement (including, without limitation, an equity line
of credit or an “at-the-market” offering (an “ATM Offering”)) whereby the Company or any Subsidiary may
sell securities at a future determined price (other than standard and customary “preemptive” or “participation”
rights). Each Buyer shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company and its Subsidiaries to preclude any such issuance,
which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.
32
(o) Participation
Right. At any time on or prior to the later of (i) the four (4) month anniversary of the Closing Date, and (ii) the date no Notes
remain outstanding, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, directly or indirectly, effect any Subsequent Placement unless
the Company shall have first complied with this Section 4(o). The Company acknowledges and agrees that the right set forth in this Section
4(o) is a right granted by the Company, separately, to each Buyer.
(i) At
least three (3) Trading Days prior to any proposed or intended Subsequent Placement, the Company shall deliver to each Buyer a written
notice (each such notice, a “Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall not contain any information (including, without
limitation, material, non-public information) other than: (A) if the proposed Offer Notice (as defined below) constitutes or contains
material, non-public information, a statement asking whether the Buyer is willing to accept material non-public information or (B) if
the proposed Offer Notice does not constitute or contain material, non-public information, (x) a statement that the Company proposes
or intends to effect a Subsequent Placement, (y) a statement that the statement in clause (x) above does not constitute material, non-public
information and (z) a statement informing such Buyer that it is entitled to receive an Offer Notice (as defined below) with respect to
such Subsequent Placement upon its written request. Upon the written request of a Buyer within one (1) Trading Day after the Company’s
delivery to such Buyer of such Pre-Notice, and only upon a written request by such Buyer, the Company shall promptly, but no later than
one (1) Trading Day after such request, deliver to such Buyer an irrevocable written notice (the “Offer Notice”) of
any proposed or intended issuance or sale or exchange (the “Offer”) of the securities being offered (the “Offered
Securities”) in a Subsequent Placement, which Offer Notice shall (A) identify and describe the Offered Securities, (B) describe
the price and other terms upon which they are to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or amount of the Offered Securities to
be issued, sold or exchanged, (C) identify the Persons (if known) to which or with which the Offered Securities are to be offered, issued,
sold or exchanged and (D) offer to issue and sell to or exchange with such Buyer in accordance with the terms of the Offer such Buyer’s
pro rata portion of 100% of the Offered Securities, provided that the number of Offered Securities which such Buyer shall have the right
to subscribe for under this Section 4(o) shall be (x) based on such Buyer’s pro rata portion of aggregate original principal amount
of the Notes purchased hereunder by all Buyers (the “Basic Amount”), and (y) with respect to each Buyer that elects
to purchase its Basic Amount, any additional portion of the Offered Securities attributable to the Basic Amounts of other Buyers as such
Buyer shall indicate it will purchase or acquire should the other Buyers subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts (the “Undersubscription
Amount”), which process shall be repeated until each Buyer shall have an opportunity to subscribe for any remaining Undersubscription
Amount.
33
(ii) To
accept an Offer, in whole or in part, such Buyer must deliver a written notice to the Company prior to the end of the first (1st) Business
Day after such Buyer’s receipt of the Offer Notice (the “Offer Period”), setting forth the portion of such Buyer’s
Basic Amount that such Buyer elects to purchase and, if such Buyer shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount, the Undersubscription
Amount, if any, that such Buyer elects to purchase (in either case, the “Notice of Acceptance”). If the Basic Amounts
subscribed for by all Buyers are less than the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then each Buyer who has set forth an Undersubscription
Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, the Undersubscription
Amount it has subscribed for; provided, however, if the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference between the total
of all the Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the “Available Undersubscription Amount”), each Buyer
who has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase only that portion of the Available Undersubscription
Amount as the Basic Amount of such Buyer bears to the total Basic Amounts of all Buyers that have subscribed for Undersubscription Amounts,
subject to rounding by the Company to the extent it deems reasonably necessary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company desires
to modify or amend the terms and conditions of the Offer prior to the expiration of the Offer Period, the Company may deliver to each
Buyer a new Offer Notice and the Offer Period shall expire on the first (1st) Business Day after such Buyer’s receipt of such new
Offer Notice.
(iii) The
Company shall have five (5) Business Days from the expiration of the Offer Period above (A) to offer, issue, sell or exchange all or
any part of such Offered Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by a Buyer (the “Refused Securities”)
pursuant to a definitive agreement(s) (the “Subsequent Placement Agreement”), but only to the offerees described in
the Offer Notice (if so described therein) and only upon terms and conditions (including, without limitation, unit prices and interest
rates) that are not more favorable to the acquiring Person or Persons or less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Offer
Notice and (B) to publicly announce (x) the execution of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, and (y) either (I) the consummation of
the transactions contemplated by such Subsequent Placement Agreement or (II) the termination of such Subsequent Placement Agreement,
which shall be filed with the SEC on a Current Report on Form 8-K with such Subsequent Placement Agreement and any documents contemplated
therein filed as exhibits thereto.
(iv) In
the event the Company shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Securities (any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms
specified in Section 4(o)(iii) above), then each Buyer may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, withdraw its Notice of Acceptance
or reduce the number or amount of the Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance to an amount that shall be not less than
the number or amount of the Offered Securities that such Buyer elected to purchase pursuant to Section 4(o)(ii) above multiplied by a
fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number or amount of Offered Securities the Company actually proposes to issue, sell
or exchange (including Offered Securities to be issued or sold to Buyers pursuant to this Section 4(o) prior to such reduction) and (ii)
the denominator of which shall be the original amount of the Offered Securities.
(v) Upon
the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused Securities, such Buyer shall acquire from the Company,
and the Company shall issue to such Buyer, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, as reduced
pursuant to Section 4(o)(iv) above if such Buyer has so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer. The purchase by
such Buyer of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by the Company and such Buyer
of a separate purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to such Buyer and
its counsel.
34
(vi) Any
Offered Securities not acquired by a Buyer or other Persons in accordance with this Section 4(o) may not be issued, sold or exchanged
until they are again offered to such Buyer under the procedures specified in this Agreement.
(vii) The
Company and each Buyer agree that if any Buyer elects to participate in the Offer, (x) neither the Subsequent Placement Agreement with
respect to such Offer nor any other transaction documents related thereto (collectively, the “Subsequent Placement Documents”)
shall include any term or provision whereby such Buyer shall be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any securities
of the Company or be required to consent to any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver, release or the like under or in
connection with, any agreement previously entered into with the Company or any instrument received from the Company, (y) representation
and warranties of a Buyer in the Subsequent Placement Documents shall not be more restrictive than those of the Buyers in this Agreement
(other than such changes as necessary to comply with applicable law, rules and regulations, the manner of sale of such security in such
Subsequent Placement and/or the type of such security to be sold in such Subsequent Placement) and (z) any registration rights set forth
in such Subsequent Placement Documents shall be similar in all material respects to the registration rights contained in this Agreement.
(viii) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 4(o) and unless otherwise agreed to by such Buyer, the Company shall either confirm in writing
to such Buyer that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Placement has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention
to issue the Offered Securities, in either case, in such a manner such that such Buyer will not be in possession of any material, non-public
information, by the tenth (10th) Business Day following delivery of the Offer Notice. If by such tenth (10th) Business
Day, no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Offered Securities has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment
of such transaction has been received by such Buyer, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and such Buyer shall not
be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Should the Company decide
to pursue such transaction with respect to the Offered Securities, the Company shall provide such Buyer with another Offer Notice and
such Buyer will again have the right of participation set forth in this Section 4(o). The Company shall not be permitted to deliver more
than one such Offer Notice to such Buyer in any thirty (30) day period, except as expressly contemplated by the last sentence of Section
4(o)(ii), and unless the Company abandons the Subsequent Placement.
(ix) The
restrictions contained in this Section 4(o) shall not apply in connection with the issuance of any Excluded Securities. The Company shall
not circumvent the provisions of this Section 4(o) by providing terms or conditions to one Buyer that are not provided to all.
35
(p) Dilutive
Issuances. During the Covenant Period, the Company shall not, in any manner, enter into or affect any Dilutive Issuance (as defined
below) if the effect of such Dilutive Issuance is to cause the Company to be required to issue upon conversion of any Notes any shares
of Common Stock in excess of that number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon conversion of the Notes without breaching
the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market. “Dilutive Issuance” means
any time the Company grants, issues or sells (or enters into any agreement to grant, issue or sell), or is deemed to have granted, issued
or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the granting, issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account
of the Company) for a consideration per share less than a price equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such granting,
issuance or sale or deemed granting, issuance or sale.
(q) Passive

(w)
Collateral Agent. Each Buyer hereby (i) appoints [●], as the collateral agent hereunder and under the other Security
Documents (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”), and (ii) authorizes the Collateral Agent (and its officers,
directors, employees and agents) to take such action on such Buyer’s behalf in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof. The
Collateral Agent shall not have, by reason hereof or any of the other Security Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any
Buyer. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall have any liability to any Buyer for
any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection hereof or any other Security Document except to the extent caused by its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct, and each Buyer agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and all
of its officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Collateral Agent Indemnitees”) from and against
any losses, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incurred by such Collateral Agent Indemnitee, whether direct, indirect or consequential,
arising from or in connection with the performance by such Collateral Agent Indemnitee of the duties and obligations of Collateral Agent
pursuant hereto or any of the Security Documents. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action,
but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the
instructions of the Required Holders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all holders of Notes; provided, however, that the Collateral
Agent shall not be required to take any action which, in the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent, exposes the Collateral Agent
to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or applicable law. The Collateral Agent shall be
entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message believed by it
in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining
to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by
it.
(x) Successor
Collateral Agent.
(i) The
Collateral Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents
at any time by giving at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Company and each holder of Notes. Such resignation
shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Collateral Agent of appointment pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii) below or as otherwise
provided below. If at any time the Collateral Agent (together with its affiliates) beneficially owns less than $100,000 in aggregate
principal amount of Notes, the Required Holders may, by written consent, remove the Collateral Agent from all its functions and duties
hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents.
(ii) Upon
any such notice of resignation or removal, the Required Holders shall appoint a successor collateral agent. Upon the acceptance of any
appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor agent, such successor collateral agent shall thereupon succeed to and become
vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the collateral agent, and the Collateral Agent shall be discharged from
its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. After the Collateral Agent’s resignation or
removal hereunder as the collateral agent, the provisions of this Section 4(w) shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
(iii) If
a successor collateral agent shall not have been so appointed within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of a written notice of resignation
or removal, the Collateral Agent shall then appoint a successor collateral agent who shall serve as the Collateral Agent until such time,
if any, as the Required Holders appoint a successor collateral agent as provided above.
37
(iv) In
the event that a successor Collateral Agent is appointed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4(w) that is not a Buyer or an affiliate
of any Buyer (or the Required Holders or the Collateral Agent (or its successor), as applicable, notify the Company that they or it wants
to appoint such a successor Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Section 4(w)), the Company and each Subsidiary thereof covenants
and agrees to promptly take all actions reasonably requested by the Required Holders or the Collateral Agent (or its successor), as applicable,
from time to time, to secure a successor Collateral Agent satisfactory to the requesting part(y)(ies), in their sole discretion, including,
without limitation, by paying all reasonable and customary fees and expenses of such successor Collateral Agent, by having the Company
and each Subsidiary thereof agree to indemnify any successor Collateral Agent pursuant to reasonable and customary terms and by each
of the Company and each Subsidiary thereof executing a collateral agency agreement or similar agreement and/or any amendment to the Security
Documents reasonably requested or required by the successor Collateral Agent.

Solicitation. None of the Company, any of its affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) under the 1933 Act) or any person acting on behalf
of the Company or such affiliate will solicit any offer to buy or offer or sell the Securities by means of any form of general solicitation
or general advertising within the meaning of Regulation D, including: (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published
in any newspaper, magazine or similar medium or broadcast over television or radio; and (ii) any seminar or meeting whose attendees have
been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.

None of the Company, any of its affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) under the 1933 Act), or any person acting on behalf of the Company
or such affiliate will sell, offer for sale, or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in
the 1933 Act) which will be integrated with the sale of the Securities in a manner which would require the registration of the Securities
under the 1933 Act or require shareholder approval under the rules and regulations of the Principal Market and the Company will take
all action that is appropriate or necessary to assure that its offerings of other securities will not be integrated for purposes of the
1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the Principal Market, with the issuance of Securities contemplated hereby.
(bb)
Notice of Disqualification Events. The Company will notify the Buyers in writing, prior to the Closing Date of (i) any Disqualification
Event relating to any Issuer Covered Person and (ii) any event that would, with the passage of time, become a Disqualification Event
relating to any Issuer Covered Person.
(cc)
Subsidiary Guarantee. During the Covenant Period, upon any entity becoming a direct, or indirect, Subsidiary of the Company, the
Company shall cause each such Subsidiary to become party to the Guaranty by executing a joinder to the Guaranty reasonably satisfactory
in form and substance to the Required Holders.
(dd)
No Net Short Position. Each Buyer hereby agrees solely with the Company, severally and not jointly, and not with any other Buyer,
for so long as such Buyer owns any Notes, such Buyer shall not maintain a Short Position (as defined below). For purposes hereof, a “Short
Position” by a person means a position whereby such person has executed one or more sales of shares of Common Stock that is marked
as a short sale (but not including any sale marked “short exempt”)); provided, that, for purposes of such calculations, any
short sales either (x) consummated at a price greater than or equal to (A) the Conversion Price, (y) that is a result of a bona-fide
trading error on behalf of such Buyer (or its affiliates) or (z) that would otherwise be marked as a “long” sale, but for
the occurrence of a Conversion Failure (as defined in the Notes), an Equity Conditions Failure (as defined in the Notes) and/or any other
breach by the Company (or its affiliates or agents, including, without limitation, the Transfer Agent) of any Transaction Document, in
each case, shall be excluded from such definition.
(ee)
Closing Documents. On or prior to fourteen (14) calendar days after the Closing Date, the Company agrees to deliver, or cause
to be delivered, to each Buyer and Sullivan & Worcester LLP a complete closing set of the executed Transaction Documents, Securities
and any other document required to be delivered to any party pursuant to Section 7 hereof or otherwise.

5. REGISTER;
TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS; LEGEND.
(a) Register.
The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice
to each holder of Securities), a register for the Notes in which the Company shall record the name and address of the Person in whose
name the Notes have been issued (including the name and address of each transferee) and the number of Conversion Shares issuable pursuant
to the terms of the Notes. The Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to keep the register open and available at all times during business
hours for inspection of any Buyer or its legal representatives.
(b) Transfer
Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent and any subsequent transfer agent (as
applicable, the “Transfer Agent”) in a form acceptable to each of the Buyers (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent
Instructions”) to issue certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”),
registered in the name of each Buyer or its respective nominee(s), for the Conversion Shares in such amounts as specified from time to
time by each Buyer to the Company upon conversion of or payment of interest under the Notes. The Company represents and warrants that
no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5(b), and stop transfer instructions
to give effect to Section 2(g) hereof, will be given by the Company to its transfer agent with respect to the Securities, and that the
Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company, as applicable, to the extent provided in this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. If a Buyer effects a sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities in accordance with
Section 2(g), the Company shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates
or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Buyer to effect
such sale, transfer or assignment. In the event that such sale, assignment or transfer involves Conversion Shares sold, assigned or transferred
pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance with Rule 144, the transfer agent shall issue such shares to such Buyer,
assignee or transferee (as the case may be) without any restrictive legend in accordance with Section 5(d) below. The Company acknowledges
that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a Buyer. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the
remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5(b) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened
breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 5(b), that a Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies,
to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing
economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall cause its counsel to issue the legal opinion referred
to in the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions to the Company’s transfer agent on the effective date of a registration statement
registering the resale of the Conversion Shares by the Buyers. Any fees (with respect to the transfer agent, counsel to the Company or
otherwise) associated with the issuance of such opinion or the removal of any legends on any of the Securities shall be borne by the
Company.
39
(c) Legends.
Each Buyer understands that the Securities have been issued (or will be issued in the case of the Conversion Shares) pursuant to an exemption
from registration or qualification under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, and except as set forth below, the Securities
shall bear any legend as required by the “blue sky” laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following
form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such share certificates):
[NEITHER
THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE CONVERTIBLE
HAVE BEEN][THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN] REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A)
AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO
THE HOLDER (IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY), IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID
ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD OR ELIGIBLE TO BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES
MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.
(d) Removal
of Legends. Certificates evidencing Securities shall not be required to contain the legend set forth in Section 5(c) above or any
other legend (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such Securities is effective under the 1933 Act, (ii) following
any sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferor is not an affiliate of the Company), (iii) if such Securities
are eligible to be sold, assigned or transferred under Rule 144 (provided that a Buyer provides the Company with reasonable assurances
that such Securities are eligible for sale, assignment or transfer under Rule 144 which shall not include an opinion of Buyer’s
counsel), (iv) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer (other than under Rule 144), provided that such Buyer provides
the Company with an opinion of counsel to such Buyer, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer
of the Securities may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act or (v) if such legend is not required
under applicable requirements of the 1933 Act (including, without limitation, controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements
issued by the SEC). If a legend is not required pursuant to the foregoing, the Company shall no later than one (1) Trading Day (or such
earlier date as required pursuant to the 1934 Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade initiated
on the date such Buyer delivers such legended certificate representing such Securities to the Company) following the delivery by a Buyer
to the Company or the transfer agent (with notice to the Company) of a legended certificate representing such Securities (endorsed or
with share powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer, if applicable),
together with any other deliveries from such Buyer as may be required above in this Section 5(d), as directed by such Buyer, either:
(A) provided that the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (“FAST”)
and such Securities are Conversion Shares, credit the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which such Buyer shall be entitled
to such Buyer’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system or (B) if the
Company’s transfer agent is not participating in FAST, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to such Buyer, a certificate
representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends, registered in the name of such Buyer or its designee
(the date by which such credit is so required to be made to the balance account of such Buyer’s or such Buyer’s designee
with DTC or such certificate is required to be delivered to such Buyer pursuant to the foregoing is referred to herein as the “Required
Delivery Date”, and the date such shares of Common Stock are actually delivered without restrictive legend to such Buyer or
such Buyer’s designee with DTC, as applicable, the “Share Delivery Date”). The Company shall be responsible
for any transfer agent fees or DTC fees with respect to any issuance of Securities or the removal of any legends with respect to any
Securities in accordance herewith.
40
(e) Failure
to Timely Deliver; Buy-In. If the Company fails, for any reason or for no reason, to issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered)
to a Buyer (or its designee) by the Required Delivery Date, either (I) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, a certificate
for the number of Conversion Shares to which such Buyer is entitled and register such Conversion Shares on the Company’s share
register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, to credit the balance account of such Buyer or such Buyer’s designee
with DTC for such number of Conversion Shares submitted for legend removal by such Buyer pursuant to Section 5(d) above or (II) if a
registration statement covering the resale of the Conversion Shares submitted for legend removal by such Buyer pursuant to Section 5(d)
above (the “Unavailable Shares”) is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Shares and the Company fails
to promptly, (x) so notify such Buyer and (y) deliver the Conversion Shares, electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting
such aggregate number of Conversion Shares submitted for legend removal by such Buyer pursuant to Section 5(d) above to such Buyer’s
or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system (the event described in the immediately
foregoing clause (II) is hereinafter referred as a “Notice Failure” and together with the event described in clause
(I) above, a “Delivery Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Buyer, the Company shall
pay in cash to such Buyer on each day after the Share Delivery Date and during such Delivery Failure an amount equal to 2% of the product
of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to such Buyer on or prior to the Required Delivery Date and to which
such Buyer is entitled, and (B) any trading price of the Common Stock selected by such Buyer in writing as in effect at any time during
the period beginning on the date of the delivery by such Buyer to the Company of the applicable Conversion Shares and ending on the applicable
Share Delivery Date. In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to the Required Delivery Date either (I) if the Transfer Agent is not
participating in FAST, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to a Buyer and register such shares of Common Stock
on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, credit the balance account of such Buyer or
such Buyer’s designee with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Buyer submitted for legend removal by such
Buyer pursuant to Section 5(d) above (ii) below or (II) a Notice Failure occurs, and if on or after such Trading Day such Buyer purchases
(in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Buyer of shares of Common
Stock submitted for legend removal by such Buyer pursuant to Section 5(d) above that such Buyer is entitled to receive from the Company
(a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within one (1) Trading Days after such Buyer’s request and in such Buyer’s
discretion, either (i) pay cash to such Buyer in an amount equal to such Buyer’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions
and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any, for the shares of Common Stock so purchased) (the “Buy-In Price”), at which
point the Company’s obligation to so deliver such certificate or credit such Buyer’s balance account shall terminate and
such shares shall be cancelled, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to so deliver to such Buyer a certificate or certificates or credit
the balance account of such Buyer or such Buyer’s designee with DTC representing such number of shares of Common Stock that would
have been so delivered if the Company timely complied with its obligations hereunder and pay cash to such Buyer in an amount equal to
the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Conversion Shares that the Company was required
to deliver to such Buyer by the Required Delivery Date multiplied by (B) the lowest Closing Sale Price (as defined below) of the shares
of Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery by such Buyer to the Company of the applicable
Conversion Shares and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this clause (ii). Nothing shall limit such Buyer’s
right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific
performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of
Common Stock (or to electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock) as required pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, with respect to any given Notice Failure and/or Delivery Failure, this Section 5(e) shall not apply to the applicable
Buyer the extent the Company has already paid such amounts in full to such Buyer with respect to such Notice Failure and/or Delivery
Failure, as applicable, pursuant to the analogous sections of the Notes. “Closing Sale Price” and “Closing
Bid Price” means, for any security as of any date, the last closing bid price and last closing trade price, respectively, for
such security on the Principal Market, as reported by the Reporting Service, or, if the Principal Market begins to operate on an extended
hours basis and does not designate the closing bid price or the closing trade price (as the case may be) then the last bid price or last
trade price, respectively, of such security prior to 4:00 p.m., New York time, as reported by the Reporting Service, or, if the Principal
Market is not the principal securities exchange or trading market for such security, the last closing bid price or last trade price,
respectively, of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded as reported
by the Reporting Service, or if the foregoing do not apply, the last closing bid price or last trade price, respectively, of such security
in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such security as reported by the Reporting Service, or, if no closing
bid price or last trade price, respectively, is reported for such security by the Reporting Service, the average of the bid prices, or
the ask prices, respectively, of any market makers for such security as reported in The Pink Open Market (or a similar organization or
agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices). If the Closing Bid Price or the Closing Sale Price cannot be calculated for
a security on a particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Bid Price or the Closing Sale Price (as the case may be) of
such security on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Holder.
41
(f) FAST
Compliance. While any Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall maintain a transfer agent that participates in FAST.

Company and its Subsidiaries shall have delivered to such Buyer such other documents, instruments or certificates relating to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement as such Buyer or its counsel may reasonably request.
8. TERMINATION.
In
the event that the Closing shall not have occurred with respect to a Buyer within two (2) days of the date hereof, then such Buyer shall
have the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement with respect to itself at any time on or after the close of business
on such date without liability of such Buyer to any other party; provided, however, (i) the right to terminate this Agreement under this
Section 8 shall not be available to such Buyer if the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to have been consummated
by such date is the result of such Buyer’s breach of this Agreement and (ii) the abandonment of the sale and purchase of the Notes
shall be applicable only to such Buyer providing such written notice, provided further that no such termination shall affect any obligation
of the Company under this Agreement to reimburse such Buyer for the expenses described in Section 4(g) above. Nothing contained in this
Section 8 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement
or the other Transaction Documents or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations
under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.
9. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement
shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision
or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions
other than the State of Delaware. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts
sitting in Wilmington, Delaware, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or under any of the other Transaction
Documents or with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit,
action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding
is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives
personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to
such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any
manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude any Buyer from bringing suit or taking other
legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to such Buyer or to enforce
a judgment or other court ruling in favor of such Buyer. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES
NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR IN CONNECTION WITH
OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
45
(b) Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and
shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. In the event that any signature
is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature
page, such signature page shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed)
with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.
(c) Headings;
Gender. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation
of, this Agreement. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine,
neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words
of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,”
“hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in
which they are found.
(d) Severability;
Maximum Payment Amounts. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable
by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended
to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall
not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express,
without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity
or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations
of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor
in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of
which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (and without implication that the following is required or applicable),
it is the intention of the parties that in no event shall amounts and value paid by the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries (as the
case may be), or payable to or received by any of the Buyers, under the Transaction Documents (including without limitation, any amounts
that would be characterized as “interest” under applicable law) exceed amounts permitted under any applicable law. Accordingly,
if any obligation to pay, payment made to any Buyer, or collection by any Buyer pursuant the Transaction Documents is finally judicially
determined to be contrary to any such applicable law, such obligation to pay, payment or collection shall be deemed to have been made
by mutual mistake of such Buyer, the Company and its Subsidiaries and such amount shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive
effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by the applicable law. Such adjustment
shall be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing or refunding, at the option of such Buyer, the amount of interest or any other
amounts which would constitute unlawful amounts required to be paid or actually paid to such Buyer under the Transaction Documents. For
greater certainty, to the extent that any interest, charges, fees, expenses or other amounts required to be paid to or received by such
Buyer under any of the Transaction Documents or related thereto are held to be within the meaning of “interest” or another
applicable term to otherwise be violative of applicable law, such amounts shall be pro-rated over the period of time to which they relate.
46
(e) Entire
Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto
and the instruments referenced herein and therein supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Buyers, the Company,
its Subsidiaries, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf, including, without limitation, any transactions by any Buyer with
respect to Common Stock or the Securities, and the other matters contained herein and therein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction
Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire
understanding of the parties solely with respect to the matters covered herein and therein; provided, however, nothing contained in this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall (or shall be deemed to) (i) have any effect on any agreements any Buyer has entered
into with, or any instruments any Buyer has received from, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof with respect
to any prior investment made by such Buyer in the Company or (ii) waive, alter, modify or amend in any respect any obligations of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any rights of or benefits to any Buyer or any other Person, in any agreement entered into prior
to the date hereof between or among the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries and any Buyer, or any instruments any Buyer received from
the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof, and all such agreements and instruments shall continue in full force
and effect. Except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor any Buyer makes any representation, warranty,
covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. For clarification purposes, the Recitals are part of this Agreement. No provision
of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Required Holders (as defined below),
and any amendment to any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 9(e) shall be binding on
all Buyers and holders of Securities, as applicable; provided that no such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it (A) applies
to less than all of the holders of the Securities then outstanding or (B) imposes any obligation or liability on any Buyer without such
Buyer’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Buyer’s sole discretion); and provided further that
the provisions of Sections 4(w) and 4(x) above cannot be amended or waived without the additional prior written approval of the Collateral
Agent or its successor. Notwithstanding anything in any Transaction Document to the contrary, no waiver shall be effective unless it
is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party, provided that the Required Holders may waive any provision
of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and any waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document
made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 9(e) shall be binding on all Buyers and holders of Securities, as applicable,
provided that no such waiver shall be effective to the extent that it (1) applies to less than all of the holders of the Securities then
outstanding (unless a party gives a waiver as to itself only) or (2) imposes any obligation or liability on any Buyer without such Buyer’s
prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Buyer’s sole discretion). No consideration (other than reimbursement
of legal fees) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the
Transaction Documents unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents, all holders of
the Notes. From the date hereof and while any Notes are outstanding, the Company shall not be permitted to receive any consideration
from a Buyer or a holder of Notes that is not otherwise contemplated by the Transaction Documents in order to, directly or indirectly,
induce the Company or any Subsidiary (i) to treat such Buyer or holder of Notes in a manner that is more favorable than to other similarly
situated Buyers or holders of Notes, or (ii) to treat any Buyer(s) or holder(s) of Notes in a manner that is less favorable than the
Buyer or holder of Notes that is paying such consideration; provided, however, that the determination of whether a Buyer has been treated
more or less favorably than another Buyer shall disregard any securities of the Company purchased or sold by any Buyer. The Company has
not, directly or indirectly, made any agreements with any Buyers relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents except as set forth in the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company confirms that,
except as set forth in this Agreement, no Buyer has made any commitment or promise or has any other obligation to provide any financing
to the Company, any Subsidiary or otherwise. As a material inducement for each Buyer to enter into this Agreement, the Company expressly
acknowledges and agrees that (x) no due diligence or other investigation or inquiry conducted by a Buyer, any of its advisors or any
of its representatives shall affect such Buyer’s right to rely on, or shall modify or qualify in any manner or be an exception
to any of, the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (y) unless
a provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document is expressly preceded by the phrase “except as disclosed in the
SEC Documents,” nothing contained in any of the SEC Documents shall affect such Buyer’s right to rely on, or shall modify
or qualify in any manner or be an exception to any of, the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement
or any other Transaction Document. “Required Holders” means (I) prior to the Closing Date, each Buyer entitled to
purchase Notes at the Closing and (II) on or after the Closing Date, holders of a majority of the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion
of or otherwise pursuant to the terms of the Notes outstanding as of such time (excluding any Conversion Shares held by the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries as of such time) (or the Buyers, with respect to any waiver or amendment of Section 4(o)); provided, that such
majority must include the Lead Buyer.
47
(f) Notices.
Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in
writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by electronic
mail (provided that such sent email is kept on file (whether electronically or otherwise) by the sending party and the sending party
does not receive an automatically generated message from the recipient’s email server that such e-mail could not be delivered to
such recipient); or (iii) one (1) Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier service with next day delivery specified, in each
case, properly addressed to the party to receive the same. The mailing addresses and e-mail addresses for such communications shall be:

[***]
or
to such other mailing address and/or e-mail address and/or to the attention of such other Person as the recipient party has specified
by written notice given to each other party five (5) days prior to the effectiveness of such change, provided that Sullivan & Worcester
LLP shall only be provided copies of notices sent to the Lead Buyer. Written confirmation of receipt (A) given by the recipient of such
notice, consent, waiver or other communication, (B) mechanically or electronically generated by the sender’s e-mail containing
the time, date and recipient’s e-mail or (C) provided by an overnight courier service shall be rebuttable evidence of personal
service, receipt by e-mail or receipt from an overnight courier service in accordance with clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, respectively.
(g) Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns,
including any purchasers of any of the Notes. The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without
the prior written consent of the Required Holders, including, without limitation, by way of a Fundamental Transaction (unless the Company
is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Transactions set forth in the Notes). A Buyer may assign some or
all of its rights hereunder in connection with any transfer of any of its Securities without the consent of the Company, in which event
such assignee shall be deemed to be a Buyer hereunder with respect to such assigned rights.
(h) No
Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors
and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, other than the Indemnitees
referred to in Section 9(k).
48
(i) Survival.
The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants shall survive the Closing. Each Buyer shall be responsible only for its own
representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.
(j) Further
Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute
and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to
carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
(k) Indemnification.
In consideration of each Buyer’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and
in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify
and hold harmless each Buyer and each holder of any Securities and all of their shareholders, partners, members, officers, directors,
employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without
limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”)
from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses
in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is
sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred
by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty
made by the Company or any Subsidiary in any of the Transaction Documents, (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of
the Company or any Subsidiary contained in any of the Transaction Documents or (iii) any cause of action, suit, proceeding or claim brought
or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company or
any Subsidiary) or which otherwise involves such Indemnitee that arises out of or results from (A) the execution, delivery, performance
or enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents, (B) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly,
with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, (C) any disclosure properly made by such Buyer pursuant to Section 4(i), or (D)
the status of such Buyer or holder of the Securities either as an investor in the Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated by
the Transaction Documents or as a party to this Agreement (including, without limitation, as a party in interest or otherwise in any
action or proceeding for injunctive or other equitable relief). To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable
for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities
which is permissible under applicable law.
(l) Construction.
The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules
of strict construction will be applied against any party. No specific representation or warranty shall limit the generality or applicability
of a more general representation or warranty. Each and every reference to share prices, Common Stock and any other numbers in this Agreement
that relate to the Common Stock shall be automatically adjusted for any share splits, share dividends, share combinations, recapitalizations
or other similar transactions that occur with respect to the shares of Common Stock after the date of this Agreement.
49
(m) Remedies.
Each Buyer and in the event of assignment by Buyer of its rights and obligations hereunder, each holder of Securities, shall have all
rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time
under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under
any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to
recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore,
the Company recognizes that in the event that it or any Subsidiary fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its or such
Subsidiary’s (as the case may be) obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law would inadequate relief to the
Buyers. The Company therefore agrees that the Buyers shall be entitled to specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent
injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual
damages and without posting a bond or other security. The remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall
be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in
equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief).
(n) Withdrawal
Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents,
whenever any Buyer exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company or any Subsidiary does
not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Buyer may rescind or withdraw, in its sole
discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company or such Subsidiary (as the case may be), any relevant notice, demand
or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.
(o) Payment
Set Aside; Currency. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Buyer hereunder or pursuant to any of the
other Transaction Documents or any of the Buyers enforce or exercise their rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments
or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential,
set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver
or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable
cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall
be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are in United
States Dollars (“U.S. Dollars”), and all amounts owing under this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents shall
be paid in U.S. Dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies (if any) shall be converted into the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount
in accordance with the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation. “Exchange Rate” means, in relation to any amount
of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant to this Agreement, the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as published in the Wall Street
Journal on the relevant date of calculation.
50
(p) Judgment
Currency.
(i) If
for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Company in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document
in any court in any jurisdiction it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this
Section 9(p) referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in US Dollars under this Agreement, the conversion
shall be made at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Trading Day immediately preceding:
(1) the
date actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of New York or in the courts of any other jurisdiction
that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date: or
(2) the
date on which the foreign court determines, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the date as of which
such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 9(p)(i)(2) being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”).
(ii) If
in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 9(p)(i)(2) above, there is a change in the Exchange
Rate prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the applicable party shall pay
such adjusted amount as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the Exchange Rate
prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of US Dollars which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment
Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date.
(iii) Any
amount due from the Company under this provision shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained
for any other amounts due under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
(q) Independent
Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Buyer under the Transaction Documents are several and not
joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of
any other Buyer under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by
any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Buyers as, and the Company acknowledges that the Buyers do not
so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the
Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity, and the Company shall not assert any such claim with respect to such
obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or any matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Buyers
are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The decision of each Buyer to purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has
been made by such Buyer independently of any other Buyer. Each Buyer acknowledges that no other Buyer has acted as agent for such Buyer
in connection with such Buyer making its investment hereunder and that no other Buyer will be acting as agent of such Buyer in connection
with monitoring such Buyer’s investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. The Company
and each Buyer confirms that each Buyer has independently participated with the Company and its Subsidiaries in the negotiation of the
transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Buyer shall be entitled to independently protect
and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents,
and it shall not be necessary for any other Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of
a single agreement to effectuate the purchase and sale of the Securities contemplated hereby was solely in the control of the Company,
not the action or decision of any Buyer, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and its Subsidiaries and not because
it was required or requested to do so by any Buyer. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement
and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company, each Subsidiary and a Buyer, solely, and not between the Company, its
Subsidiaries and the Buyers collectively and not between and among the Buyers.

all rights of any Grantor to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 2(g)(i),
and the obligations of the Collateral Agent under Section 2(g)(ii), shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested

powers subject to Section 2(k) and the last sentence of this Section 2(i); provided that, the Collateral Agent shall
have the right from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Grantors to exercise such
rights. After all Events of Default have been waived, and the Grantors have delivered to the Collateral Agent a certificate of an executive
officer to such effect, each Grantor shall have the exclusive right to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers that such
Grantor would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of Section 2(g)(i), and the obligations of the Collateral
Agent under Section 2(g)(ii) shall be reinstated.

the Guaranty when due and payable, including, without limitation, payment by each Guarantor, as and when due and payable of all Guaranteed
Obligations under the Guaranties, including, without limitation, in both cases, (A) all principal of, interest, make-whole and other
amounts on the Notes (including, without limitation, all interest, make-whole and other amounts that accrues after the commencement of
any Insolvency Proceeding of any Grantor, whether or not the payment of such interest is enforceable or is allowable in such Insolvency
Proceeding), and (B) all fees, interest, premiums, penalties, contract causes of action, costs, commissions, expense reimbursements,
indemnifications and all other amounts due or to become due under this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents; and

(a) Schedule
I hereto sets forth (i) the exact legal name of each Grantor, and (ii) the state or country of incorporation, organization or formation

under any other name), jurisdiction of incorporation or organization or organizational identification number from those set forth in
Schedule I hereto except as disclosed in Schedule I hereto.
(b) There
is no pending or, to its knowledge, written notice threatening any action, suit, proceeding or claim affecting any Grantor before any
Governmental Authority or any arbitrator, or any order, judgment or award issued by any Governmental Authority or arbitrator, in each
case, that may adversely affect the grant by any Grantor, or the perfection, of the Lien and security interest purported to be created
hereby in the Collateral, or the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of its rights or remedies hereunder.
12
(c) All
Federal, state and local tax returns and other reports required by applicable law to be filed by any Grantor have been filed, or extensions
have been obtained, and all taxes, assessments and other governmental charges or levies imposed upon any Grantor or any property of any
Grantor (including, without limitation, all federal income and social security taxes on employees’ wages) and which have become
due and payable on or prior to the date hereof have been paid, except to the extent contested in good faith by proper proceedings which
stay the imposition of any penalty, fine or Lien resulting from the non-payment thereof and with respect to which adequate reserves have
been set aside for the payment thereof in accordance with GAAP.
(d) All
Equipment, Fixtures, Goods and Inventory of each Grantor now existing are, and all Equipment, Fixtures, Goods and Inventory of each Grantor
hereafter existing will be, located and/or based at the addresses specified therefor in Schedule III hereto, except that each
Grantor will give the Collateral Agent written notice of any change in the location of any such Collateral within 20 days of such change,
other than to locations set forth on Schedule III hereto (and with respect to which the Collateral Agent has filed financing statements
and otherwise fully perfected its Liens thereon). Each Grantor’s principal place of business and chief executive office, the place
where each Grantor keeps its Records concerning the Collateral and all originals of all Chattel Paper in which any Grantor has any right,
title or interest are located and will continue to be located at the addresses specified therefor in Schedule III hereto. None
of the Accounts in which any Grantor has any right, title or interest is or will be evidenced by Promissory Notes or other Instruments.
(e) Set
forth in Schedule IV hereto is a complete and accurate list, as of the date of this Agreement, of (i) all Pledged Debt, specifying
the debtor thereof and the outstanding principal amount thereof as of the Closing Date, Securities and other Instruments in which any
Grantor has any right, title or interest, (ii) each Pledged Account of each Grantor, together with the name and address of each institution
at which each such Pledged Account is maintained, the account number for each such Pledged Account and a description of the purpose of
each such Pledged Account and (iii) the name of each Foreign Currency Controlled Account of each Grantor, together with the name and
address of each institution at which each such Foreign Currency Controlled Account is maintained and the amount of cash or cash equivalents
held in each such Foreign Currency Controlled Account. Set forth in Schedule I hereto is a complete and correct list of each trade
name used by each Grantor and the name of, and each trade name used by, each Person from which each Grantor has acquired any substantial
part of the Collateral. All of the Pledged Debt, to the best of the Grantors’ knowledge (provided that no such knowledge qualification
applies to Pledged Debt issued by a Grantor or a Subsidiary), is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the issuer thereof, enforceable
against such issuer in accordance with its terms.
(f) Each
Grantor has delivered to the Collateral Agent complete and correct copies of each License described in Schedule II hereto, including
all schedules and exhibits thereto, which represent all of the Licenses of the Grantors existing on the date of this Agreement. Each
such License sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties thereto relating to the subject matter thereof, and there
are no other agreements, arrangements or understandings, written or oral, relating to the matters covered thereby or the rights of such
Grantor or any of its Affiliates in respect thereof. Each material License now existing is, and any material License entered into in
the future will be, the legal, valid and binding obligation of the parties thereto, enforceable against such parties in accordance with
its terms. No default under any material License by any such party has occurred, nor does any defense, offset, deduction or counterclaim
exist thereunder in favor of any such party.
13
(g) Each
Grantor owns and controls, or otherwise possesses adequate rights to use, all of its Intellectual Property, which is the only Intellectual
Property necessary to conduct its business in substantially the same manner as conducted as of the date hereof. Schedule II hereto
sets forth a true and complete list of all Intellectual Property and Licenses owned or used by each Grantor as of the date hereof, and
applications for grant or registration of Intellectual Property. To the knowledge of each Grantor, all such Intellectual Property of
such Grantor is subsisting and in full force and effect, has not been adjudged invalid or unenforceable, is valid and enforceable and
has not been abandoned in whole or in part. Except as set forth in Schedule II, no such Intellectual Property is the subject of
any licensing or franchising agreement. Except as set forth in Schedule II, no Grantor has any knowledge of any infringement upon
or conflict with the Patent, Trademark, Copyright, trade secret rights of others and, each Grantor is not now infringing or in conflict
with any Patent, Trademark, Copyright, trade secret or similar rights of others, and to the knowledge of each Grantor, no other Person
is now infringing or in conflict in any material respect with any such properties, assets and rights owned or used by each Grantor. No
Grantor has received any notice that it is violating or has violated the Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights, inventions, trade secrets,
proprietary information and technology, know-how, formulae, rights of publicity or other intellectual property rights of any third party.
(h) Each
Grantor is and will be at all times the sole and exclusive owner of the Collateral in which such Grantor has granted a Lien and security
interest hereunder free and clear of any Liens, except for (i) Permitted Liens thereon and (ii) certain Intellectual Property rights
of the Company which is jointly owned by the Company with certain third parties as described in Schedule II hereto. No effective
financing statement or other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file in any recording or filing
office except such as (i) may have been filed in favor of the Collateral Agent and/or the Noteholders relating to this Agreement or the
other Transaction Documents, or (ii) are intended to perfect Permitted Liens existing as of the date hereof and disclosed on Schedule
VII hereto.
(i) The
exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of its rights and remedies hereunder will not contravene any law or any contractual restriction
binding on or otherwise affecting any Grantor or any of its properties and will not result in or require the creation of any Lien, upon
or with respect to any of its properties other than as granted pursuant to this Agreement.
(j) No
authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority, is required for (i) the grant
by each Grantor, or the perfection, of the Lien and security interest purported to be created hereby in the Collateral, or (ii) the exercise
by the Collateral Agent of any of its rights and remedies hereunder, except for (A) the filing under the Code as in effect in the applicable
jurisdiction of the financing statements described in Schedule V hereto, all of which financing statements have been duly filed
and are in full force and effect, (B) with respect to all Pledged Accounts, and all cash and other property from time to time deposited
therein, the execution of a Controlled Account Agreement with the depository or other institution with which the applicable Pledged Accounts
are maintained, as provided in Section 6(i), (C) with respect to Commodity Contracts, the execution of a control agreement with
the commodity intermediary with which such Commodity Contract is carried, as provided in Section 6(i), (D) with respect to the
perfection of the security interest created hereby in the United States Intellectual Property and Licenses, the recording of the appropriate
Intellectual Property Security Agreement in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable,
(E) with respect to the perfection of the security interest created hereby in foreign Intellectual Property and Licenses, registrations
and filings in jurisdictions located outside of the United States and covering rights in such jurisdictions relating to such foreign
Intellectual Property and Licenses, (F) with respect to the perfection of the security interest created hereby in any Letter-of-Credit
Rights, the consent of the issuer of the applicable letter of credit to the assignment of proceeds as provided in the Code as in effect
in the applicable jurisdiction, (G) with respect to Investment Property constituting uncertificated securities, the applicable Grantor
causing the issuer thereof either (i) to register the Collateral Agent as the registered owner of such securities or (ii) to agree in
an authenticated record with such Grantor and the Collateral Agent that such issuer will comply with instructions with respect to such
securities originated by the Collateral Agent without further consent of such Grantor, such authenticated record to be in form and substance
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, (H) with respect to Investment Property constituting certificated securities or instruments, such
items to be delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent pursuant hereto in suitable form for transfer by delivery or
accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent, (I) with respect to any action that may be necessary to obtain control of Collateral constituting Commodity Contracts, Electronic
Chattel Paper or Letter of Credit Rights, the taking of such actions, and (J) the Collateral Agent having possession of all Documents,
Chattel Paper, Instruments and cash constituting Collateral (subclauses (A) through (J) each a “Perfection Requirement”
and collectively, the “Perfection Requirements”).
14
(k) This
Agreement creates in favor of the Collateral Agent a legal, valid and enforceable Lien on and security interest in the Collateral, as
security for the Obligations. The performance of the Perfection Requirements results in the perfection of such Lien on and security interest
in the Collateral. Such Lien and security interest is (or in the case of Collateral in which any Grantor obtains any right, title or
interest after the date hereof, will be), subject only to the Perfection Requirements, a first priority, valid, enforceable and perfected
Lien on and security interest in all personal property of each Grantor (other than Excluded Collateral). Such recordings and filings
and all other action necessary to perfect and protect such Lien and security interest have been duly taken (and, in the case of Collateral
in which any Grantor obtains right, title or interest after the date hereof, will be duly taken), except for the Collateral Agent’s
having possession of all Documents, Chattel Paper, Instruments and cash constituting Collateral after the date hereof and the other actions,
filings and recordations described above, including the Perfection Requirements.
(l) As
of the date hereof, no Grantor holds any Commercial Tort Claims or has knowledge of any pending Commercial Tort Claims, except for the
Commercial Tort Claims described in Schedule VI.
(m) All
of the Pledged Equity is presently owned by the applicable Grantor as set forth in Schedule IV free and clear of all Liens other
than Permitted Liens, and is presently represented by the certificates listed on Schedule IV hereto (if applicable). As of the
date hereof, there are no existing options, warrants, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to the Pledged Equity
other than as contemplated and permitted by the Transaction Documents. Each Grantor is the sole holder of record and the sole beneficial
owner of the Pledged Equity, as applicable. None of the Pledged Equity has been issued or transferred in violation of the securities
registration, securities disclosure or similar laws of any jurisdiction to which such issuance or transfer may be subject. The Pledged
Equity constitutes 100% or such other percentage as set forth on Schedule IV of the issued and outstanding shares of Capital Stock
of the applicable Pledged Entity. All of the Pledged Equity has been duly and validly authorized and issued by the issuer thereof and
in the case of Pledged Equity (other than Pledged Equity consisting of limited liability company interests or partnership interests which,
pursuant to the relevant organizational or formation documents, cannot be fully paid and non-assessable), is fully paid and non-assessable.
(n) Such
Grantor (i) is a corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership, as applicable, duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, organization or formation, (ii) has all requisite corporate, limited
liability company or limited partnership power and authority to conduct its business as now conducted and as presently contemplated and
to execute and deliver this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which such Grantor is a party, and to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby and (iii) is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the
character of the properties owned or leased by it or in which the transaction of its business makes such qualification necessary, except
where the failure to be so qualified would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(o) The
execution, delivery and performance by each Grantor of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which such Grantor is a
party (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company or limited partnership action, (ii) do not
and will not contravene its charter or by-laws, limited liability company or operating agreement, certificate of partnership or partnership
agreement, as applicable, or any applicable law or any contractual restriction binding on such Grantor or its properties, (iii) do not
and will not result in or require the creation of any Lien (other than pursuant to any Transaction Document) upon or with respect to
any of its assets or properties, and (iv) do not and will not result in any default, noncompliance, suspension, revocation, impairment,
forfeiture or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to it or its operations or any of its
assets or properties.
15
(p) This
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Grantor and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Grantor, enforceable
against such Grantor in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
fraudulent conveyance, suretyship or other similar laws and equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity
or at law). Each of the other Transaction Documents to which any Grantor is or will be a party, when duly executed and delivered by such
Grantor, will be the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Grantor, enforceable against such Grantor in accordance with its terms,
except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, suretyship or other
similar laws and equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).
(q) There
are no conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement that have not been satisfied or waived.
SECTION
6. Covenants as to the Collateral. Until all of the Obligations shall have been fully performed and Paid in Full, unless the
Collateral Agent shall otherwise consent in writing (in its sole and absolute discretion):

Assurances. Each Grantor will, at its expense, at any time and from time to time, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments
and documents and take all further action that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order to: (i) perfect and protect the Lien
and security interest of the Collateral Agent created hereby; (ii) enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and
remedies hereunder in respect of the Collateral, including, without limitation, the Controlled Accounts; or (iii) otherwise effect the
purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation: (A) marking conspicuously all Chattel Paper and each License and, at the request
of the Collateral Agent, each of its Records pertaining to the Collateral with a legend, in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral

and pledging to the Collateral Agent each Promissory Note, Security (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3), Chattel
Paper or other Instrument, now or hereafter owned by any Grantor, duly endorsed and accompanied by executed instruments of transfer or
assignment, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, (C) executing and filing (to the extent, if any, that any
Grantor’s signature is required thereon) or authenticating the filing of, such financing or continuation statements, or amendments
thereto, as may be necessary or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order to perfect and preserve the security interest
created hereby, (D) furnishing to the Collateral Agent from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing
the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral in each case as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request,
all in reasonable detail, (E) if any Collateral shall be in the possession of a third party, notifying such Person of the Collateral
Agent’s security interest created hereby and obtaining a written acknowledgment from such Person, in form and substance satisfactory
to the Collateral Agent, that such Person holds possession of the Collateral for the benefit of the Collateral Agent (for the ratable
benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders), (F) if at any time after the date hereof, any Grantor acquires or holds any Commercial
Tort Claim, promptly notifying the Collateral Agent in a writing signed by such Grantor setting forth a brief description of such Commercial
Tort Claim and granting to the Collateral Agent a Lien and security interest therein and in the Proceeds thereof, which writing shall
incorporate the provisions hereof and shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, (G) upon the acquisition after
the date hereof by any Grantor of any motor vehicle or other Equipment subject to a certificate of title or ownership (other than a motor
vehicle or Equipment that is subject to a purchase money security interest), causing the Collateral Agent to be listed as the lienholder
on such certificate of title or ownership and delivering evidence of the same to the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 6(j)
hereof; and (H) taking all actions required by the Code or by other law, as applicable, in any relevant Code jurisdiction, or by other
law as applicable in any foreign jurisdiction.
16
(b) Location
of Collateral. Each Grantor will keep the Collateral (i) at the locations specified therefor on Schedule III hereto, or (ii)
at such other locations set forth on Schedule III and with respect to which the Collateral Agent has filed financing statements
and otherwise fully perfected its Liens thereon, or (iii) at such other locations in the United States, provided that thirty (30) days
prior to any change in the location of any Collateral to such other location, or upon the acquisition of any Collateral to be kept at
such other locations, the Grantors shall give the Collateral Agent written notice thereof and deliver to the Collateral Agent a new Schedule
III indicating such new locations and such other written statements and schedules as the Collateral Agent may require.
(c) Condition
of Equipment. Each Grantor will maintain or cause to be maintained and preserved in good condition, repair and working order, ordinary
wear and tear excepted, the Equipment (necessary or useful to its business) and will forthwith, or in the case of any loss or damage
to any Equipment of any Grantor within a commercially reasonable time after the occurrence thereof, make or cause to be made all repairs,
replacements and other improvements in connection therewith which are necessary or desirable, consistent with past practice, or which
the Collateral Agent may request to such end. Any Grantor will promptly furnish to the Collateral Agent a statement describing in reasonable
detail any such loss or damage in excess of $100,000 per occurrence to any Equipment.
(d) Taxes,
Etc. Each Grantor agrees to pay promptly when due all property and other taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed
upon, and all claims (including claims for labor, materials and supplies) against, the Equipment and Inventory, except to the extent
the validity thereof is being contested in good faith by proper proceedings which stay the imposition of any penalty, fine or Lien resulting
from the non-payment thereof and with respect to which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP have been set aside for the payment
thereof.
(e) Insurance.
(i) Each
Grantor will, at its own expense, maintain insurance (including, without limitation, comprehensive general liability, hazard, rent and
business interruption insurance) with respect to its properties (including all real properties leased or owned by it) and business, in
such amounts and covering such risks, in such form and with responsible and reputable insurance companies or associations as is required
by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction with respect thereto or as is carried generally in accordance with sound business practice
by companies in similar businesses similarly situated and in any event, in amount, adequacy and scope reasonably satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent.
(ii) To
the extent requested by the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time, each such policy for liability insurance shall provide
for all losses to be paid on behalf of the Collateral Agent and any Grantor as their respective interests may appear, and each policy
for property damage insurance shall provide for all losses to be adjusted with, and paid directly to, the Collateral Agent. In addition
to and without limiting the foregoing, to the extent requested by the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time, each such policy
shall in addition (A) name the Collateral Agent as an additional insured party and/or loss payee, as applicable, thereunder (without
any representation or warranty by or obligation upon the Collateral Agent) as its interests may appear, (B) contain an agreement by the
insurer that any loss thereunder shall be payable to the Collateral Agent on its own account notwithstanding any action, inaction or
breach of representation or warranty by any Grantor, (C) provide that there shall be no recourse against the Collateral Agent for payment
of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto, and (D) provide that at least 30 days’ prior written notice of cancellation,
lapse, expiration or other adverse change shall be given to the Collateral Agent by the insurer. Any Grantor will, if so requested by
the Collateral Agent, deliver to the Collateral Agent original or duplicate policies of such insurance (including certificates demonstrating
compliance with this Section 6(e)) and, as often as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, a report of a reputable insurance
broker with respect to such insurance. Any Grantor will also, at the request of the Collateral Agent, execute and deliver instruments
of assignment of such insurance policies and cause the respective insurers to acknowledge notice of such assignment.
17
(iii) Reimbursement
under any liability insurance maintained by any Grantor pursuant to this Section 6(e) may be paid directly to the Person who shall
have incurred liability covered by such insurance. In the case of any loss involving damage to Equipment or Inventory, to the extent
paragraph (iv) of this Section 6(e) is not applicable, any proceeds of insurance involving such damage shall be paid to the Collateral
Agent, and any Grantor will make or cause to be made the necessary repairs to or replacements of such Equipment or Inventory, and any
proceeds of insurance maintained by any Grantor pursuant to this Section 6(e) (except as otherwise provided in paragraph (iv)
in this Section 6(e)) shall be paid by the Collateral Agent to any Grantor as reimbursement for the reasonable costs of such repairs
or replacements.
(iv) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in subsection 6(e)(iii) above, following and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all insurance
payments in respect of each Grantor’s properties and business shall be paid to the Collateral Agent and applied as specified in
Section 8(b) hereof.
(f) Provisions
Concerning Name, Organization, Location, Accounts and Licenses.
(i) Each
Grantor will (A) give the Collateral Agent at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any change in such Grantor’s
name, identity or organizational structure, (B) maintain its jurisdiction of incorporation, organization or formation as set forth in
Schedule I hereto, (C) immediately notify the Collateral Agent upon obtaining an organizational identification number, if on the
date hereof such Grantor did not have such identification number, and (D) keep adequate records concerning the Collateral and permit
representatives of the Collateral Agent during normal business hours on reasonable notice to such Grantor, to inspect and make abstracts
from such records.
(ii) Each
Grantor will (except as otherwise provided in this subsection (f)), continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become
due under the Accounts. In connection with such collections, any Grantor may (and, at the Collateral Agent’s direction, will) take
such action as any Grantor or the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection or performance of the Accounts;
provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default to notify the Account Debtors or obligors under any Accounts of the assignment of such Accounts to the Collateral
Agent and to direct such Account Debtors or obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to any Grantor thereunder directly
to the Collateral Agent or its designated agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of any Grantor and to the extent permitted
by applicable law, to enforce collection of any such Accounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the
same manner and to the same extent as any Grantor might have done. After receipt by any Grantor of a notice from the Collateral Agent
that the Collateral Agent has notified, intends to notify, or has enforced or intends to enforce any Grantor’s rights against the
Account Debtors or obligors under any Accounts as referred to in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, (A) all amounts and
proceeds (including, without limitation, Instruments) received by any Grantor in respect of the Accounts shall be received in trust for
the benefit of the Collateral Agent hereunder (for the ratable benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders), shall be segregated
from other funds of any Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary
endorsement) to be applied as specified in Section 8(b) hereof, and (B) no Grantor will adjust, settle or compromise the amount
or payment of any Account or release wholly or partly any Account Debtor or obligor thereof or allow any credit or discount thereon.
In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute
discretion) direct any or all of the banks and financial institutions with which any Grantor either maintains a Deposit Account or a
lockbox (including, without limitation, any Controlled Account) or deposits the proceeds of any Accounts to send immediately to the Collateral
Agent by wire transfer (to such deposit account as the Collateral Agent shall specify, or in such other manner as the Collateral Agent
shall direct) all or a portion of such Securities, cash, investments and other items held by such institution. Any such Securities, cash,
investments and other items so received by the Collateral Agent shall be applied as specified in accordance with Section 8(b)
hereof.
18
(iii) Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any breach or default under any material License referred to in Schedule II hereto
by any party thereto other than any Grantor, each Grantor party thereto will, promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof, give the Collateral
Agent written notice of the nature and duration thereof, specifying what action, if any, it has taken and proposes to take with respect
thereto and thereafter will take reasonable steps to protect and preserve its rights and remedies in respect of such breach or default,
or will obtain or acquire an appropriate substitute License.
(iv) Each
Grantor will, at its expense, promptly deliver to the Collateral Agent a copy of each notice or other communication received by it by
which any other party to any material License referred to in Schedule II hereto purports to exercise any of its rights or affect
any of its obligations thereunder, together with a copy of any reply by such Grantor thereto.
(v) Each
Grantor will exercise promptly and diligently each and every right which it may have under each material License (other than any right
of termination) and will duly perform and observe in all respects all of its obligations under each material License and will take all
action necessary or reasonable to maintain such Licenses in full force and effect. No Grantor will, without the prior written consent
of the Collateral Agent (in its reasonable discretion), cancel, terminate, amend or otherwise modify in any respect, or waive any provision
of, any material License referred to in Schedule II hereto.
(g) Transfers
and Other Liens.
(i) Except
as otherwise expressly permitted in the other Transaction Documents, no Grantor shall, directly or indirectly, sell, lease, license,
assign, transfer, spin-off, split-off, close, convey or otherwise dispose of any Collateral whether in a single transaction or a series
of related transactions, other than (A) sales, leases, licenses, assignments, transfers, conveyances and other dispositions of such assets
or rights by such Grantor for fair value in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices and (B) sales of Inventory
and product in the ordinary course of business.
(ii) Except
as expressly provided in the Notes, no Grantor shall, directly or indirectly, redeem, repurchase or declare or pay any cash dividend
or distribution on any of its Capital Stock.
(iii) No
Grantor shall, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, (A) issue any Notes (other than as
contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Notes) or (B) issue any other Securities that would cause a breach or default
under the Notes.
(iv) No
Grantor shall enter into, renew, extend or be a party to, any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation,
the purchase, sale, lease, transfer or exchange of property or assets of any kind or the rendering of services of any kind) with any
Affiliate, except in the ordinary course of business in a manner and to an extent consistent with past practice and necessary or desirable
for the prudent operation of its business, for fair consideration and on terms no less favorable to it than would be obtainable in a
comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate thereof.
(v) No
Grantor will create, suffer to exist or grant any Lien upon or with respect to any Collateral other than a Permitted Lien.
19
(h) Intellectual
Property.
(i) If
applicable, each Grantor shall duly execute and deliver the applicable Intellectual Property Security Agreement. Each Grantor (either
itself or through licensees) will, and will cause each licensee thereof to, take all action necessary to maintain all of the Intellectual
Property in full force and effect, including, without limitation, using the proper statutory notices, numbers and markings (relating
to patent, trademark and copyright rights) and using the Trademarks on each applicable trademark class of goods in order to so maintain
the Trademarks in full force and free from any claim of abandonment for non-use, and each Grantor will not (nor permit any licensee thereof
to) do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any Intellectual Property may become abandoned, canceled or invalidated; provided,
however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Grantor shall have an obligation to use or to
maintain any Intellectual Property (A) that relates solely to any product or work, that is no longer necessary or material and has been,
or is in the process of being, discontinued, abandoned or terminated in the ordinary course of business and consistent with the exercise
of reasonable business judgment, (B) that is being replaced with Intellectual Property substantially similar to the Intellectual Property
that may be abandoned or otherwise become invalid, so long as the failure to use or maintain such Intellectual Property does not materially
adversely affect the validity of such replacement Intellectual Property and so long as such replacement Intellectual Property is subject
to the Lien created by this Agreement and does not have a material adverse effect on the business of any Grantor or (C) that is substantially
the same as other Intellectual Property that is in full force, so long the failure to use or maintain such Intellectual Property does
not materially adversely affect the validity of such replacement Intellectual Property and so long as such other Intellectual Property
is subject to the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement and does not have a material adverse effect on the business of
any Grantor. Each Grantor will cause to be taken all necessary steps in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark
Office and the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency in any other country or political subdivision thereof to
maintain each registration of the Intellectual Property and application for registration of Intellectual Property (other than the Intellectual
Property described in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence), including, without limitation, filing of renewals, affidavits
of use, affidavits of incontestability and opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings and payment of maintenance fees, filing
fees, taxes or other governmental charges or fees. If any Intellectual Property (other than Intellectual Property described in the proviso
to the second sentence of subsection (i) of this clause (h)) is infringed, misappropriated, diluted or otherwise violated in any material
respect by a third party, each Grantor shall (x) upon learning of such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation, promptly
notify the Collateral Agent and (y) promptly sue for infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation, seek injunctive relief
where appropriate and recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation, or take such
other actions as such Grantor shall deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property. Each Grantor shall
furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to time upon its request statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Intellectual
Property and Licenses and such other reports in connection with the Intellectual Property and Licenses as the Collateral Agent may reasonably
request, all in reasonable detail and promptly upon request of the Collateral Agent, following receipt by the Collateral Agent of any
such statements, schedules or reports, each Grantor shall modify this Agreement by amending Schedule II hereto, as the case may
be, to include any Intellectual Property and License, as the case may be, which is or hereafter becomes part of the Collateral under
this Agreement and shall execute and authenticate such documents and do such acts as shall be necessary or, in the reasonable judgment
of the Collateral Agent, desirable to subject such Intellectual Property and Licenses to the Lien and security interest created by this
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no
Grantor may abandon, surrender or cancel or otherwise permit any Intellectual Property to become abandoned, surrendered, canceled or
invalid without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent (in its sole and absolute discretion), and if any Intellectual Property
is infringed, misappropriated, diluted or otherwise violated in any material respect by a third party, each Grantor will take such reasonable
action as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property.
20
(ii) In
no event shall any Grantor, either itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, file an application for the registration
of any Patent, Trademark or Copyright or the United States Copyright Office or the United States Patent and Trademark Office, as applicable,
or in any similar office or agency of the United States or any country or any political subdivision thereof unless it gives the Collateral
Agent prior written notice thereof. Upon request of the Collateral Agent, any Grantor shall execute, authenticate and deliver any and
all assignments, agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Collateral
Agent’s security interest hereunder in such Intellectual Property and the General Intangibles of any Grantor relating thereto or
represented thereby, and each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent its attorney-in-fact to execute and/or authenticate and file
all such writings for the foregoing purposes, all acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed, and such power (being coupled
with an interest) shall be irrevocable until all Obligations are fully performed and Paid in Full.
(i) Pledged
Accounts. Upon the written request of the Collateral Agent (which request may be made in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion
at any time), each Grantor shall cause each bank and other financial institution which maintains a Controlled Account (each a “Controlled
Account Bank”) to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent,
a Controlled Account Agreement with respect to such Controlled Account, duly executed by each Grantor and such Controlled Account Bank,
pursuant to which such Controlled Account Bank among other things shall irrevocably agree, with respect to such Controlled Account, that
(i) at any time after any Grantor, the Collateral Agent or any Noteholder shall have notified such Controlled Account Bank that an Event
of Default has occurred or is continuing, such Controlled Account Bank will comply with any and all instructions originated by the Collateral
Agent directing the disposition of the funds in such Controlled Account without further consent by such Grantor, (ii) such Controlled
Account Bank shall waive, subordinate or agree not to exercise any rights of setoff or recoupment or any other claim against the applicable
Controlled Account other than for payment of its service fees and other charges directly related to the administration of such Controlled
Account and for returned checks or other items of payment, (iii) at any time after any Grantor, the Collateral Agent or any Noteholder
shall have notified such Controlled Account Bank that an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, with respect to each such Controlled
Account, such Controlled Account Bank shall not comply with any instructions, directions or orders of any form with respect to such Controlled
Accounts other than instructions, directions or orders originated by the Collateral Agent, (iv) all funds deposited by any Grantor with
such Controlled Account Bank shall be subject to a perfected, first priority security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, and
(v) upon receipt of written notice from the Collateral Agent during the continuance of an Event of Default such Controlled Account Bank
shall immediately send to the Collateral Agent by wire transfer (to such account as the Collateral Agent shall specify, or in such other
manner as the Collateral Agent shall direct) all such funds and other items held by it. No Grantor shall create or maintain any Pledged
Account (other than (x) payroll, withholding tax, employee benefit and other fiduciary or trust accounts, (y) zero-balance disbursement
accounts and (z) accounts holding solely amounts required to be held in escrow for the benefit of third parties, in each case, maintained
in the ordinary course of business) without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent (in its reasonable discretion) and complying
with the terms of this Agreement.
21
(j) Motor
Vehicles.
(i) Upon
the Collateral Agent’s written request, each Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent originals of the certificates of title
or ownership for each motor vehicle with a value in excess of $50,000 owned by it, with the Collateral Agent listed as lienholder, for
the ratable benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders.
(ii) Each
Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact for the purpose of (A) executing on behalf of such Grantor title
or ownership applications for filing with appropriate Governmental Authorities to enable motor vehicles now owned or hereafter acquired
by such Grantor to be retitled and the Collateral Agent listed as lienholder thereof, (B) filing such applications with such Governmental
Authorities, and (C) executing such other agreements, documents and instruments on behalf of, and taking such other action in the name
of, such Grantor as the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof (including, without limitation,
for the purpose of creating in favor of the Collateral Agent a perfected Lien on the motor vehicles and exercising the rights and remedies
of the Collateral Agent hereunder). This appointment as attorney-in-fact is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until all of
the Obligations are fully performed and Paid in Full.
(iii) Any
certificates of title or ownership delivered pursuant to the terms hereof shall be accompanied by accurate odometer statements for each
motor vehicle covered thereby.
(iv) So
long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon the request of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent shall execute
and deliver to any Grantor such instruments as such Grantor shall reasonably request to remove the notation of the Collateral Agent as
lienholder on any certificate of title for any motor vehicle; provided, however, that any such instruments shall be delivered, and the
release effective, only upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of a certificate from any Grantor stating that such motor vehicle is to
be sold or has suffered a casualty loss (with title thereto in such case passing to the casualty insurance company therefor in settlement
of the claim for such loss) and the amount that any Grantor will receive as sale proceeds or insurance proceeds. Any proceeds of such
sale or casualty loss shall be paid to the Collateral Agent hereunder immediately upon receipt, to be applied to the Obligations then
outstanding.
(k) Control.
Each Grantor hereby agrees to take any or all action that may be necessary or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order
for the Collateral Agent to obtain “control” in accordance with Sections 9-105 through 9-107 of the Code with respect to
the following Collateral: (i) Electronic Chattel Paper, (ii) Investment Property, and (iii) Letter-of-Credit Rights.
(l) Inspection
and Reporting. Each Grantor shall permit the Collateral Agent, or any agent or representatives thereof or such attorneys, accountant
or other professionals or other Persons as the Collateral Agent may designate (at Grantors’ sole cost and expense; provided that,
so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Grantors shall not be responsible for the costs and expenses of more
than one (1) such examination, inspection, audit, appraisal or field examination in any calendar year) (i) to examine and make copies
of and abstracts from any Grantor’s Records and books of account, (ii) to visit and inspect its properties, (iii) to verify materials,
leases, Instruments, Accounts, Inventory and other assets of any Grantor from time to time, and (iv) to conduct audits, physical counts,
appraisals, valuations and/or examinations at the locations of any Grantor. Each Grantor shall also permit the Collateral Agent, or any
agent or representatives thereof or such attorneys, accountants or other professionals or other Persons as the Collateral Agent may designate
to discuss such Grantor’s affairs, finances and accounts with any of its directors, officers, managerial employees, attorneys,
independent accountants or any of its other representatives. Without limiting the foregoing, the Collateral Agent may, at any time, in
the Collateral Agent’s own name, in the name of a nominee of the Collateral Agent, or in the name of any Grantor communicate (by
mail, telephone, facsimile or otherwise) with the Account Debtors of such Grantor, parties to contracts with such Grantor and/or obligors
in respect of Instruments or Pledged Debt of such Grantor to verify with such Persons, to the Collateral Agent’s satisfaction,
the existence, amount, terms of, and any other matter relating to, Accounts, Instruments, Pledged Debt, Chattel Paper, payment intangibles
and/or other receivables.
22
(m) Future
Subsidiaries. If any Grantor hereafter creates or acquires any Subsidiary (other than an Immaterial Subsidiary), simultaneously with
the creation or acquisition of such Subsidiary, such Grantor shall (i) if such Subsidiary is a Domestic Subsidiary, cause such Subsidiary
to become a party to this Agreement as an additional “Grantor” hereunder, (ii) deliver to the Collateral Agent updated Schedules
to this Agreement, as appropriate (including, without limitation, an updated Schedule IV to reflect the grant by such Grantor
of a Lien on and security interest in all Pledged Debt and Pledged Equity now or hereafter owned by such Grantor), (iii) if such Subsidiary
is a Domestic Subsidiary, cause such Subsidiary to duly execute and deliver a guaranty of the Obligations in favor of the Collateral
Agent in form and substance acceptable to the Collateral Agent, (iv) deliver to the Collateral Agent the stock certificates representing
all of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary, along with undated stock powers for each such certificates, executed in blank (or, if any
such shares of Capital Stock are uncertificated, confirmation and evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent that the security
interest in such uncertificated securities has been transferred to and perfected by the Collateral Agent, in accordance with Sections
8-313, 8-321 and 9-115 of the Code or any other similar or local or foreign law that may be applicable), (v) if such Subsidiary is a
Foreign Subsidiary, cause such Subsidiary to take such actions as may be required by the Collateral Agent (including executing and delivering
guaranties, security agreements and other agreements or instruments required by the Collateral Agent) and (vi) duly execute and/or cause
to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, in form and substance acceptable to the Collateral Agent, such opinions of counsel and other
documents as the Collateral Agent shall request with respect thereto; provided, however, that no Grantor shall be required to pledge
any Excluded Collateral. Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to attach such updated Schedules to this Agreement and agrees
that all Pledged Equity and Pledged Debt listed on any updated Schedule delivered to the Collateral Agent shall for all purposes hereunder
be considered Collateral. The Grantors agree that the pledge of the shares of Capital Stock acquired by a Grantor of any Foreign Subsidiary
may be supplemented by one or more separate pledge agreements, deeds of pledge, share charges, or other similar agreements or instruments,
executed and delivered by the relevant Grantor in favor of the Collateral Agent, which pledge agreements will provide for the pledge
of such shares of Capital Stock in accordance with the laws of the applicable foreign jurisdiction. With respect to such shares of Capital
Stock, the Collateral Agent may, at any time and from time to time, in its sole discretion, take actions in such foreign jurisdictions
that will result in the perfection of the Lien created in such shares of Capital Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Immaterial
Subsidiary shall be required to become a Grantor hereunder or deliver a guaranty so long as such Subsidiary (A) constitutes an Immaterial
Subsidiary, and (B) does not receive cash or other property (other than equity interests in such Subsidiary) from the Company or any
other Subsidiary that is a Grantor.
(n) Post
Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Transaction Document, each applicable Grantor
shall:
(i) [Reserved];
(ii) Insurance
Endorsements. Within thirty (30) calendar days following the Closing Date (or such later date as Collateral Agent may agree in its
sole discretion), deliver to the Collateral Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, additional insured, lender
loss payable, and notice of cancellation endorsements issued by each Grantor’s insurers with respect to such Grantor’s insurance
policies (including, without limitation, policies related to comprehensive general liability, casualty and property, hazard, rent and
business interruption insurance) as the Collateral Agent shall request naming the Collateral Agent as additional insured or lender loss
payee, as applicable; and
23
(iii) Legal
Opinion. Within ten (10) calendar days following the Closing Date (or such later date as Collateral Agent may agree in its sole discretion),
deliver to the Collateral Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, an executed legal opinion addressed to the
Collateral Agent with respect to, inter alia, the due perfection of security interests of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral.
(iv) UCC-3
Termination Statements. Within ten (10) calendar days following the Closing Date (or such later date as Collateral Agent may agree
in its sole discretion), deliver to the Collateral Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, evidence of the
termination and/or amendment, as applicable, of each of the following UCC-1 financing statements:

SECTION
7. Additional Provisions Concerning the Collateral.
(a) To
the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and for the purpose of taking any action that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary
or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, each Grantor hereby (i) authorizes the Collateral Agent to execute any such
agreements, instruments or other documents in such Grantor’s name and to file such agreements, instruments or other documents in
such Grantor’s name and in any appropriate filing office, (ii) authorizes the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time
to file, one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relating to the Collateral (including, without limitation,
any such financing statements that (A) describe the Collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property” (or
words of similar effect) or that describe or identify the Collateral by type or in any other manner as the Collateral Agent may determine
regardless of whether any particular asset of such Grantor falls within the scope of Article 9 of the Code or whether any particular
asset of such Grantor constitutes part of the Collateral, and (B) contain any other information required by Part 5 of Article 9 of the
Code for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement or amendment, including, without
limitation, whether such Grantor is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to
such Grantor) and (iii) ratifies such authorization to the extent that the Collateral Agent has filed any such financing or continuation
statements, or amendments thereto, prior to the date hereof. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement
covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law.
24
(b) Each
Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full authority in the place and stead
of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, from time to time in the Collateral Agent’s discretion, to take any
action and to execute any instrument which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement
(provided that the Collateral Agent shall exercise the powers described in clauses (ii) through (vi) below only upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default), including, without limitation, (i) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid
to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 6(e) hereof, (ii) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive and
give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any Collateral, (iii) to receive, endorse, and
collect any drafts or other Instruments, Documents and Chattel Paper in connection with clause (i) or (ii) above, (iv) to file any claims
or take any action or institute any action, suit or proceedings which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection
of any Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders with respect to any Collateral, (v)
to execute assignments, licenses and other documents to enforce the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders with respect to
any Collateral, and (vi) to verify any and all information with respect to any and all Accounts. This power is coupled with an interest
and is irrevocable until all of the Obligations are fully performed and Paid in Full.
(c) For
the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies hereunder, at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be
lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent,
to the extent assignable, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any
Grantor) to use, assign, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property in which such Grantor now or hereafter has any right, title
or interest, wherever the same may be located, including, without limitation, in such license reasonable access to all media in which
any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, but subject to the provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement that limit the right of
any Grantor to dispose of its property, and Section 6(g) and Section 6(h) hereof, so long as no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, any Grantor may exploit, use, enjoy, protect, license, sublicense, assign, sell, dispose of or take
other actions with respect to the Intellectual Property in the ordinary course of its business and as otherwise expressly permitted by
any of the other Transaction Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Collateral Agent shall from time to time, upon the request of any Grantor, execute and deliver any instruments, certificates or other
documents, in the form so requested, which such Grantor shall have certified are appropriate (in such Grantor’s judgment) to allow
it to take any action permitted above (including relinquishment of the license provided pursuant to this clause (c) as to any Intellectual
Property). Further, upon the full performance and Payment in Full of all of the Obligations, the Collateral Agent (subject to Section
11(e) hereof) shall release and reassign to any Grantor all of the Collateral Agent’s right, title and interest in and to the
Intellectual Property, and the Licenses, all without recourse, representation or warranty whatsoever. The exercise of rights and remedies
hereunder by the Collateral Agent shall not terminate the rights of the holders of any licenses or sublicenses theretofore granted by
each Grantor in accordance with the second sentence of this clause (c). Each Grantor hereby releases the Collateral Agent from any claims,
causes of action and demands at any time arising out of or with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Collateral
Agent under the powers of attorney granted herein other than actions taken or omitted to be taken through the Collateral Agent’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction no longer subject to appeal.
(d) If
any Grantor fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained herein, the Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance
of, such agreement or obligation, in the name of such Grantor or the Collateral Agent, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred
in connection therewith shall be payable by such Grantor pursuant to Section 9 hereof and such obligation shall be secured by
the Collateral.
25
(e) The
powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty
upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually
received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to
preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.
(f) Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding (i) each Grantor shall remain liable under the Licenses and otherwise with respect to any of the
Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not
been executed, (ii) the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of its rights or remedies hereunder shall not release any Grantor from
any of its obligations under the Licenses or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, and (iii) the Collateral Agent shall not have any
obligation or liability by reason of this Agreement under the Licenses or with respect to any of the other Collateral, nor shall the
Collateral Agent be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect
or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.
(g) As
long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and, other than in the case of a Bankruptcy Event of Default, until
written notice shall be given to the applicable Grantor:
(i) Each
Grantor shall have the right, from time to time, to vote and give consents with respect to the Pledged Equity, or any part thereof for
all purposes not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document;
provided, however, that no vote shall be cast, and no consent shall be given or action taken, which would have the effect of impairing
the position or interest of the Collateral Agent in respect of the Pledged Equity or which would authorize, effect or consent to (unless
and to the extent expressly permitted by the Securities Purchase Agreement):
A. the
dissolution or liquidation, in whole or in part, of a Pledged Entity;
B. the
consolidation or merger of a Pledged Entity with any other Person;
C. the
sale, disposition or encumbrance of all or substantially all of the assets of a Pledged Entity, except for Liens in favor of the Collateral
Agent;
D. any
change in the authorized number of shares, the stated capital or the authorized share capital of a Pledged Entity or the issuance of
any additional shares of its Capital Stock; or
E. the
alteration of the voting rights with respect to the Capital Stock of a Pledged Entity.
(h) (i) Each
Grantor shall be entitled, from time to time, to collect and receive for its own use all cash dividends and interest paid in respect
of the Pledged Equity to the extent not in violation of the Securities Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document other than
any and all: (A) dividends and interest paid or payable other than in cash in respect of any Pledged Equity, and instruments and other
property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Equity; (B) dividends and other
distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Pledged Equity in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution
or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in capital of a Pledged Entity; and (C) cash paid, payable or otherwise
distributed, in respect of principal of, or in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Equity; provided, however, that until actually
paid all rights to such distributions shall remain subject to the Lien created by this Agreement; and
26
(ii) all
dividends and interest (other than such cash dividends and interest as are permitted to be paid to any Grantor in accordance with clause
(i) above) and all other distributions in respect of any of the Pledged Equity, whenever paid or made, shall be delivered to the Collateral
Agent to hold as Pledged Equity and shall, if received by any Grantor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent (for
the ratable benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders), be segregated from the other property or funds of such Grantor, and
be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent as Pledged Equity in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).
SECTION
8. Remedies Upon Event of Default; Application of Proceeds. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(a) The
Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to any other rights and remedies provided for herein, in any
other Transaction Document or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Code
(whether or not the Code applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (i) take absolute control of the Collateral, including, without
limitation, transfer into the Collateral Agent’s name or into the name of its nominee or nominees (to the extent the Collateral
Agent has not theretofore done so) and thereafter receive, for the ratable benefit of itself and the Noteholders, all payments made thereon,
give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof and otherwise act with respect thereto as though it were the outright
owner thereof, (ii) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral
Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of its respective Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral
Agent at a place or places to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties, and the Collateral
Agent may enter into and occupy any premises owned or leased by any Grantor where the Collateral or any part thereof is located or assembled
for a reasonable period in order to effectuate the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation
to any Grantor in respect of such occupation, and (iii) without notice except as specified below and without any obligation to prepare
or process the Collateral for sale, (A) sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale (including,
without limitation, by credit bid), at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery,
and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable and/or (B) lease, license
or dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof upon such terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor
agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or any other disposition of its respective Collateral shall be required by law, at least ten
(10) days’ notice to any Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition
of its respective Collateral is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make
any sale or other disposition of any Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any
public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice,
be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent and the
Noteholders arising by reason of the fact that the price at which its respective Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was
less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if
the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree, and waives all rights
that any Grantor may have to require that all or any part of such Collateral be marshaled upon any sale (public or private) thereof.
Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that (i) any such sale of its respective Collateral by the Collateral Agent shall be made without warranty,
(ii) the Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim any warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment or the like, and (iii) such
actions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall not adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any such sale of Collateral.
In addition to the foregoing, (1) upon written notice to any Grantor from the Collateral Agent after and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, such Grantor shall cease any use of the Intellectual Property or any trademark, patent or copyright similar thereto
for any purpose described in such notice; (2) the Collateral Agent may, at any time and from time to time after and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, upon 10 days’ prior notice to such Grantor, license, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether
on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any of the Intellectual Property, throughout the universe for such term or terms, on such conditions,
and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (3) the Collateral Agent may, at any time, pursuant
to the authority granted in Section 7 hereof or otherwise (such authority being effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default), execute and deliver on behalf of such Grantor, one or more instruments of assignment of the Intellectual Property
(or any application or registration thereof), in form suitable for filing, recording or registration in any country.
27
(b) Any
cash held by the Collateral Agent as Collateral and all Cash Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale or disposition
of or collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied as follows (subject to the provisions
of the Securities Purchase Agreement): first, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Collateral Agent
(including, without limitation, those described in Section 9 hereof); second, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements
then due to the Noteholders, on a pro rata basis; third to pay interest due under the Notes owing to the Noteholders, on a pro rata basis;
fourth, to pay or prepay principal in respect of the Notes, whether or not then due, owing to the Noteholders, on a pro rata basis; fifth,
to pay or prepay any other Obligations, whether or not then due, in such order and manner as the Collateral Agent shall elect, consistent
with the provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Any surplus of such cash or Cash Proceeds held by the Collateral Agent and
remaining after the full performance and Payment in Full of all of the Obligations shall be paid over to whomsoever shall be lawfully
entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.
(c) In
the event that the proceeds of any such sale, disposition, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the
Collateral Agent and the Noteholders are legally entitled, each Grantor shall be, jointly and severally, liable for the deficiency, together
with interest thereon at the highest rate specified in the Notes for interest on overdue principal thereof or such other rate as shall
be fixed by applicable law, together with the costs of collection and the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and other charges of any attorneys
employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.
(d) To
the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies in a commercially reasonable manner,
each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for the Collateral Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed
significant by the Collateral Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into
finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be
disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection
or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or
other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies
against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection
specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral
is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Grantor, for expressions of interest
in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of
Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that
provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match
buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties,
such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Collateral Agent against
risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Collateral Agent a guaranteed return from the collection
or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent, to obtain the services of brokers, investment
bankers, consultants, attorneys and other professionals to assist the Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the
Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions
by the Collateral Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Collateral Agent’s exercise of rights and remedies against the
Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account
of not being indicated in this section. Without limitation of the foregoing, nothing contained in this section shall be construed to
grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Collateral Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement
or by applicable law in the absence of this section.
28
(e) The
Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including, but not limited to, this Agreement
and the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or
other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder and in respect
of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however
existing or arising. To the extent that any Grantor lawfully may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating
to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies
under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations
is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully
may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.
SECTION
9. Indemnity and Expenses.
(a) Each
Grantor agrees, jointly and severally, to defend, protect, indemnify and hold the Collateral Agent and each of the Noteholders harmless
from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees, costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable and actual legal fees, costs, expenses, and disbursements of such Person’s counsel) to the extent that they
arise out of or otherwise result from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except to the extent
resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction no longer subject to appeal.
(b) Each
Grantor agrees, jointly and severally, to pay to the Collateral Agent upon demand the amount of any and all costs and expenses, including
the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of counsel for the Collateral Agent and of any experts and agents (including,
without limitation, any collateral trustee which may act as agent of the Collateral Agent), which the Collateral Agent may incur in connection
with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, recordation, administration, amendment, waiver or other modification or termination
of this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection
from, or other realization upon, any Collateral (including but not limited to taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, custody fees, repairs,
rent, storage costs and expenses of sales and any costs to perfect the security interest of the Collateral Agent), (iii) the exercise
or enforcement of any of the rights or remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, or (iv) the
failure by any Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof or any other Transaction Document (collectively, “Collateral
Costs”). Without waiving such Grantor’s Event of Default (if any) for failure to make any such payment, the Collateral
Agent, following any such failure, at its option may pay any such Collateral Costs, and discharge encumbrances on the Collateral, and
such Collateral Costs payments shall be a part of the Obligations and bear interest at the rate set out in the Notes.
29
SECTION
10. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed (by certified
mail, first-class postage prepaid and return receipt requested), telecopied, e-mailed or delivered, (a) if to any Grantor, to the Company’s
address, email address and/or facsimile number as set forth in Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, (b) if to any Buyer,
to it at its respective address, email address and/or facsimile number as set forth in Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement
or (c) if to Collateral Agent, to it at its respective address, email address and/or facsimile number as set forth on its signature page
hereto; or as to any such Person, at such other address as shall be designated by such Person in a written notice to all other parties
hereto complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 10. All such notices and other communications shall be effective
(a) if sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, when received or five (5) Business Days after deposited in the mails, whichever
occurs first, (b) if telecopied or e-mailed, when transmitted (during normal business hours) and confirmation is received, and otherwise,
the day after the notice or communication was transmitted and confirmation is received, or (c) if delivered in person, upon delivery.
For the avoidance of doubt, all Foreign Subsidiaries, as Grantors, hereby appoint the Company as its agent for receipt of service of
process and all notices and other communications in the United States at the address specified below.
SECTION
11. Miscellaneous.
(a) No
amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by each Grantor and the Collateral
Agent (and approved by the Required Holders), and no waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by each
Grantor therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by each Grantor and the Collateral Agent (and approved by the
Required Holders), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for
which given. No amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement shall be effective to the extent that it (1) applies to fewer than
all of the holders of Notes or (2) imposes any obligation or liability on any holder of Notes without such holder’s prior written
consent (which may be granted or withheld in such holder’s sole and absolute discretion).
(b) No
failure on the part of the Collateral Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy hereunder or under any of the
other Transaction Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent or
any Noteholder provided herein and in the other Transaction Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any
rights or remedies provided by law. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent or any Noteholder under any of the other Transaction
Documents against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by such Person to exercise any of its rights or
remedies under any of the other Transaction Documents against such party or against any other Person, including but not limited to, any
Grantor.
(c) Any
provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to
the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity
or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
30
(d) This
Agreement shall create a continuing Lien on and security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until
the full performance and Payment in Full of the Obligations, and (ii) be binding on each Grantor and all other Persons who become bound
as debtor to this Agreement in accordance with Section 9-203(d) of the Code and shall inure, together with all rights and remedies of
the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders hereunder, to the ratable benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders and their respective
permitted successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence,
without notice to any Grantor, the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders may assign or otherwise transfer their rights and obligations
under this Agreement and any of the other Transaction Documents, to any other Person and such other Person shall thereupon become vested
with all of the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders herein or otherwise. Upon any such assignment
or transfer, all references in this Agreement to the Collateral Agent or any such Noteholder shall mean the assignee of the Collateral
Agent or such Noteholder. None of the rights or obligations of any Grantor hereunder may be assigned, delegated or otherwise transferred
without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent in its sole and absolute discretion, and any such assignment, delegation or
transfer without such consent of the Collateral Agent shall be null and void.
(e) Upon
the full performance and Payment in Full of the Obligations, (i) this Agreement and the security interests created hereby shall terminate
and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the respective Grantor that granted such security interests hereunder, and (ii) the
Collateral Agent will, upon any Grantor’s request and at such Grantor’s expense, (A) return to such Grantor such of the Collateral
as shall not have been sold or otherwise disposed of or applied pursuant to the terms hereof and (B) execute and deliver to such Grantor
such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination, all without any representation, warranty or recourse
whatsoever; provided, however, that all indemnities of the Grantors contained in this Agreement shall survive, and remain in full force
and effect regardless of the termination of the security interest or this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and
the security interests granted hereunder shall be reinstated if at any time any payment or delivery pursuant to the Securities Purchase
Agreement, in whole or in part, is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Collateral Agent or any Buyer under the application
of the Bankruptcy Code or any other debtor law, all as though such payment or delivery had not been made.
(f) Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial.
(i) All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws
of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any provision or rule of law (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdictions)
that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.
(ii) Each
Grantor hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough
of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or under any of the other Transaction Documents
or with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or
proceeding, any claim, defense or objection that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit,
action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party
hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by
mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement and
agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be
deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate
to preclude the Collateral Agent or the Noteholders from bringing suit or taking other legal action against any Grantor in any other
jurisdiction to collect on a Grantor’s obligations or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of the Collateral Agent
or a Noteholder.
31
(iii) WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL, ETC. EACH GRANTOR IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION
OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION
DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
(iv) Each
Grantor irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action, suit or proceeding referred
to in this Section any special, exemplary, indirect, incidental, punitive or consequential damages.
(v) Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing waivers, each Grantor hereby expressly waives any and all benefits which might otherwise be
available to the Grantors under California Civil Code Sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2839, 2845 through 2847, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433,
and California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726.
(vi) Each
Grantor expressly waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Collateral Agent, including any defense that
might otherwise be available under Union Bank v. Gradsky, 265 Cal. App. 2nd 40 (1968) and Cathay Bank v. Lee, 14 Cal.App.4th 1533 (1993),
or Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure (or any similar judicial decision or statute), even though that election of
remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to the security for the Obligations, has destroyed the Grantors’ rights
of subrogation and reimbursement against such any other Grantor by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure
or otherwise.
(g) Section
headings herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
(h) This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall
be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together constitute one and the same Agreement. Delivery of any executed counterpart
of a signature page of this Agreement by pdf, facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart of this Agreement.
(i) This
Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Obligations is
rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Collateral Agent, any Noteholder or any other Person (upon (i) the occurrence of any Insolvency
Proceeding of any of the Company or any Grantor or (ii) otherwise, in all cases as though such payment had not been made).
SECTION
12. Material Non-Public Information. Upon receipt or delivery by any Grantor of any notice in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, unless such Grantor has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material,
non-public information relating to the Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries, such Grantor shall within one (1) Business Day after any such
receipt or delivery publicly disclose such material, non-public information on a Current Report on Form 8-K or otherwise. In the event
that such Grantor believes that a notice contains material, non-public information relating to such Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries,
such Grantor so shall indicate to the Collateral Agent and any applicable Noteholder contemporaneously with delivery of such notice,
and in the absence of any such indication, the Collateral Agent and each Noteholder shall be allowed to presume that all matters relating
to such notice do not constitute material, non-public information relating to such Grantor or its Subsidiaries. Nothing contained in
this Section 12 shall limit any obligations of any Grantor, or any rights or remedies of the Collateral Agent or any Noteholder,
under Section 4(l) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY SECURITY AGREEMENT
This
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY SECURITY AGREEMENT (as amended, modified, supplemented, renewed, restated or replaced from time to time, this “IP
Security Agreement”), dated July 24, 2026, is made by the Persons listed on the signature pages hereof (collectively, the “Grantors”)
in favor of [●], in its capacity as collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”) for the Noteholders. All
capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings respectively ascribed thereto in the Security Agreement (as defined
below).
WHEREAS,
NextNRG Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and each party listed as a “Buyer” therein (collectively,
the “Buyers”) are parties to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated July 24, 2026, pursuant to which the
Company shall be required to sell, and the Buyers shall purchase or have the right to purchase, the “Notes” (as defined therein),
in each case, issued pursuant thereto (as such Notes may be amended, modified, supplemented, extended, renewed, restated or replaced
from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, collectively, the “Notes”);
WHEREAS,
it is a condition precedent to the Buyers’ obligation to purchase the Notes under the Securities Purchase Agreement that each Grantor
has executed and delivered that certain Security and Pledge Agreement, dated July 24, 2026, made by the Grantors to the Collateral Agent
(as amended, modified, supplemented, renewed, restated or replaced from time to time, the “Security Agreement”); and
WHEREAS,
under the terms of the Security Agreement, the Grantors have granted to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Collateral
Agent and the Noteholders, a Lien on and security interest in, among other property, certain intellectual property of the Grantors, and
have agreed as a condition thereof to execute this IP Security Agreement for recording with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the
United States Copyright Office and other governmental authorities.
WHEREAS,
the Grantors have determined that the execution, delivery and performance of this IP Security Agreement directly benefits, and is in
the best interest of, the Grantors.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements herein and in order to induce the Buyers to perform under the Securities
Purchase Agreement, each Grantor agrees with the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders,
as follows:
SECTION
1. Grant of Security. As collateral security for the due and punctual payment and performance in full of the Obligations, as
and when due, each Grantor hereby pledges and assigns to the Collateral Agent, its successors and permitted assigns, and hereby grants
to the Collateral Agent, its successors and permitted assigns, for the ratable benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders, a
continuing Lien on and security interest in, all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the following (the
“Collateral”):
(i) all
of such Grantor’s Patents and Patent applications, including those set forth on Schedule A hereto;
(ii) all
of such Grantor’s Trademark and service mark registrations and applications, including those set forth in Schedule A hereto
(provided that no security interest shall be granted in United States intent-to-use trademark applications to the extent that, and solely
during the period in which, the grant of a security interest therein would impair the validity or enforceability of such intent-to-use
trademark applications under applicable federal law), together with the goodwill symbolized thereby;
A-1
(iii) all
Copyrights, whether registered or unregistered, now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, including, without limitation, the copyright
registrations and applications and exclusive copyright licenses set forth in Schedule A hereto;
(iv) all
reissues, divisions, continuations, continuations-in-part, extensions, renewals and reexaminations of any of the foregoing, all rights
in the foregoing provided by international treaties or conventions, all rights corresponding thereto throughout the world and all other
rights of any kind whatsoever of such Grantor accruing thereunder or pertaining thereto;
(v) any
and all claims for damages and injunctive relief for past, present and future infringement, dilution, misappropriation, violation, misuse
or breach with respect to any of the foregoing, with the right, but not the obligation, to sue for and collect, or otherwise recover,
such damages; and
(vi) any
and all Proceeds, including without limitation Cash and Noncash Proceeds of, collateral for, income, royalties and other payments now
or hereafter due and payable with respect to, and Supporting Obligations relating to, any and all of the collateral of or arising from
any of the foregoing.
SECTION
2. Security for Obligations. The grant of a Lien on and security interest in, the Collateral by each Grantor under this IP
Security Agreement constitutes continuing collateral security for the payment and performance of all Obligations of such Grantor now
or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Notes and the Transaction Documents, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent,
and whether for principal, reimbursement obligations, interest, premiums, penalties, fees, indemnifications, contract causes of action,
costs, expenses or otherwise.
SECTION
3. Recordation. Each Grantor authorizes and requests that the Register of Copyrights, the Commissioner for Patents and the
Commissioner for Trademarks and any other applicable government officer record this IP Security Agreement.
SECTION
4. Execution in Counterparts. This IP Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties
hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together constitute one and
the same Agreement.
SECTION
5. Grants, Rights and Remedies. This IP Security Agreement has been entered into in conjunction with the provisions of the
Security Agreement. Each Grantor does hereby acknowledge and confirm that the grant of the Lien and security interest hereunder to, and
the rights and remedies of, the Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral are more fully set forth in the Security Agreement, the
terms and provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein.
SECTION
6. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial.
(i) All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws
of the State of New York, without giving effect to any provision or rule of law (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions)
that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.
A-2
(ii) Each
Grantor hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough
of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or under any of the other Transaction Documents
or with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or
proceeding, any claim, defense or objection that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit,
action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party
hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by
mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement and
agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be
deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate
to preclude the Collateral Agent or the Noteholders from bringing suit or taking other legal action against any Grantor in any other
jurisdiction to collect on a Grantor’s obligations or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of the Collateral Agent
or a Noteholder.
(iii) WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL, ETC. EACH GRANTOR IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION
OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION
DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
(iv) Each
Grantor irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action, suit or proceeding referred
to in this Section any special, exemplary, indirect, incidental, punitive or consequential damages.
(v) Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing waivers, each Grantor hereby expressly waives any and all benefits which might otherwise be
available to the Grantors under California Civil Code Sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2839, 2845 through 2847, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433,
and California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726.
(vi) Each
Grantor expressly waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Collateral Agent, including any defense that
might otherwise be available under Union Bank v. Gradsky, 265 Cal. App. 2nd 40 (1968) and Cathay Bank v. Lee, 14 Cal.App.4th 1533 (1993),
or Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure (or any similar judicial decision or statute), even though that election of
remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to the security for the Obligations, has destroyed the Grantors’ rights
of subrogation and reimbursement against such any other Grantor by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure
or otherwise.

2. Guaranty.
(a)
The Guarantors, jointly and severally, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably, guaranty to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the
Collateral Agent and the Buyers, the punctual payment, as and when due and payable, by stated maturity or otherwise, of all Obligations,
including, without limitation, all interest, make-whole and other amounts that accrue after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding
of the Company or any Guarantor, whether or not the payment of such interest, make-whole and/or other amounts are enforceable or are
allowable in such Insolvency Proceeding, and all fees, interest, premiums, penalties, causes of actions, costs, commissions, expense
reimbursements, indemnifications and all other amounts due or to become due under any of the Transaction Documents (all of the foregoing
collectively being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all fees, costs and expenses (including
counsel fees, costs and expenses) incurred by the Collateral Agent in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty or any other Transaction
Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall extend to all amounts that
constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the Company to the Collateral Agent or any Buyer under the Securities
Purchase Agreement, the Notes and/or any other Transaction Document but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due
to the existence of an Insolvency Proceeding involving any Transaction Party.
(b)
Each Guarantor and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the Collateral Agent, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons
that this Guaranty and the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for
purposes of the Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal,
provincial, state, or other applicable law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty and the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor
hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Collateral Agent and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the Guaranteed
Obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Guaranteed
Obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
3
SECTION
3. Guaranty Absolute; Continuing Guaranty; Assignments.
(a)
The Guarantors, jointly and severally, guaranty that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of
the Transaction Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of
such terms or the rights of the Collateral Agent or any Buyer with respect thereto. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty
are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Guarantor to
enforce such obligations, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any Transaction Party or whether any Transaction Party
is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of any Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be as a primary obligor (and not merely
as a surety) and shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the
extent permitted by law, any defenses it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of the following:
(i)
any lack of validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document;
(ii)
any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other
amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Transaction Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the
Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Transaction Party or extension of the maturity of any
Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise;
(iii)
any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral;
(iv)
any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(v)
any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate, limited liability company or partnership structure or existence of any Transaction
Party;
(vi)
any manner of application of Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or
any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any
other Obligations of any Transaction Party under the Transaction Documents or any other assets of any Transaction Party or any of its
Subsidiaries;
(vii)
any failure of the Collateral Agent or any Buyer to disclose to any Transaction Party any information relating to the business, condition
(financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Transaction Party now or hereafter known to the
Collateral Agent or any Buyer (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Collateral Agent or any Buyer to disclose such information);
(viii)
taking any action in furtherance of the release of any Guarantor or any other Person that is liable for the Obligations from all or any
part of any liability arising under or in connection with any Transaction Document without the prior written consent of the Collateral
Agent; or
(ix)
any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation
by the Collateral Agent or any Buyer that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Transaction Party
or any other guarantor or surety.
(b)
This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Collateral Agent, any Buyer, or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy
or reorganization of any Transaction Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
4
(c)
This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations
(other than inchoate indemnity obligations) and shall not terminate for any reason prior to the respective Maturity Date of each Note
(other than Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations) and (ii) be binding upon each Guarantor and its respective successors and
assigns. This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Collateral Agent, the Buyers, and their respective successors,
and permitted pledgees, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the Collateral Agent or any
Buyer may pledge, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under and subject to the terms of any
Transaction Document to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof
granted to the Collateral Agent or such Buyer (as applicable) herein or otherwise, in each case as provided in the Securities Purchase
Agreement or such Transaction Document.
SECTION
4. Waivers.
(a)
To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, protest, notice of acceptance and any
other notice or formality of any kind with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that the
Collateral Agent exhaust any right or take any action against any Transaction Party or any other Person or any Collateral. Each Guarantor
acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated herein and in the other Transaction
Documents and that the waiver set forth in this Section 4 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. The Guarantors hereby
waive any right to revoke this Guaranty, and acknowledge that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations,
whether existing now or in the future. Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by
the Collateral Agent or any Buyer that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of such Guarantor or other rights of such Guarantor to proceed against any of the
other Transaction Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person or any Collateral, and (b) any defense based on any right of set-off
or counterclaim against or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally
and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of the Collateral Agent or any Buyer to disclose to such Guarantor any matter, fact or thing
relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Transaction
Party or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by the Collateral Agent or a Buyer.
(b)
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing waivers, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives any and all benefits which might otherwise
be available to the Guarantor under California Civil Code Sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2839, 2845 through 2847, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433,
and California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726.
(c)
Each Guarantor expressly waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Collateral Agent, including any defense
that might otherwise be available under Union Bank v. Gradsky, 265 Cal. App. 2nd 40 (1968) and Cathay Bank v. Lee, 14 Cal.App.4th 1533
(1993), or Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure (or any similar judicial decision or statute), even though that election
of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to the security for the Obligations, has destroyed the Guarantors’
rights of subrogation and reimbursement against such any other Guarantor by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil
Procedure or otherwise.
5
SECTION
5. Subrogation. No Guarantor may exercise any rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against any Transaction Party or any
other guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of any Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty,
including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to
participate in any claim or remedy of the Collateral Agent or any Buyer against any Transaction Party or any other guarantor or any Collateral,
whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation,
the right to take or receive from any Transaction Party or any other guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or
by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security solely on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until there has been
Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations. If any amount shall be paid to a Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence
at any time prior to Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, such amount shall
be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall forthwith be paid to the Collateral Agent to be credited and applied
to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the
terms of the Transaction Documents, or to be held as Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty
thereafter arising. If (a) any Guarantor shall make payment to the Collateral Agent of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations,
and (b) there has been Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Collateral Agent will, at such Guarantor’s request and
expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary
to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment by
such Guarantor.

SECTION
7. Right of Set-off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent and any Buyer
may, and is hereby authorized to, at any time and from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors (any such notice being expressly
waived by each Guarantor) and to the fullest extent permitted by law, set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time
or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Collateral Agent or any Buyer to or
for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any and all obligations of the Guarantors now or hereafter existing under this
Guaranty or any other Transaction Document, irrespective of whether or not the Collateral Agent or any Buyer shall have made any demand
under this Guaranty or any other Transaction Document and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured. The Collateral Agent
and each Buyer agrees to notify the relevant Guarantor promptly after any such set-off and application made by the Collateral Agent or
such Buyer, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of
the Collateral Agent or any Buyer under this Section 7 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other
rights of set-off) which the Collateral Agent or such Buyer may have under this Guaranty or any other Transaction Document in law or
otherwise.

the amount of all Guaranteed Obligations, plus interest thereon at the applicable Interest Rate as specified in the Note; and
(ii)
the amount which could be claimed by the Collateral Agent from such Guarantor under this Guaranty without rendering such claim voidable

shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision
or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction
other than the State of Delaware. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts
sitting in The City of Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith
or under any of the other Transaction Documents or with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby irrevocably waives,
and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim, obligation or defense that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit,
action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served
in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under Section 9(f)
of the Securities Purchase Agreement (or in the case of the Collateral Agent, on its signature page hereto) and agrees that such service
shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any
way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Collateral
Agent or the Buyers from bringing suit or taking other legal action against any Guarantor in any other jurisdiction to collect on a Guarantor’s
obligations or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of the Collateral Agent or a Buyer.
SECTION
11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL, ETC. EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A
JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT

SECTION
12. Taxes.
(a)
All payments made by any Guarantor hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall be made in accordance with the terms of the
respective Transaction Document and shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, withholding, deduction or other defense. Without limiting
the foregoing, all such payments shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any present or future taxes,
levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on the net income
of the Collateral Agent or any Buyer by the jurisdiction in which the Collateral Agent or such Buyer is organized or where it has its
principal lending office (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities, collectively
or individually, “Taxes”). If any Guarantor shall be required to deduct or to withhold any Taxes from or in respect
of any amount payable hereunder or under any other Transaction Document:
(i)
the amount so payable shall be increased to the extent necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including
Taxes on amounts payable to the Collateral Agent or any Buyer pursuant to this sentence) the Collateral Agent or each Buyer receives
an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made,
(ii)
such Guarantor shall make such deduction or withholding,
(iii)
such Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law,
and
(iv)
as promptly as possible thereafter, such Guarantor shall send the Collateral Agent or each Buyer an official receipt (or, if an official
receipt is not available, such other documentation as shall be satisfactory to the Collateral Agent or each Buyer, as the case may be)
showing payment. In addition, each Guarantor agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property
taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement
of, or otherwise with respect to, this Guaranty or any other Transaction Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”).
9
(b)
Each Guarantor hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold each Indemnified Party harmless from and against Taxes or Other Taxes (including,
without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 12) paid by any Indemnified
Party as a result of any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect
to, this Guaranty or any other Transaction Document, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses for nonpayment, late
payment or otherwise) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.
This indemnification shall be paid within thirty (30) days from the date on which the Collateral Agent or such Buyer makes written demand
therefor, which demand shall identify the nature and amount of such Taxes or Other Taxes.
(c)
If any Guarantor fails to perform any of its obligations under this Section 12, such Guarantor shall indemnify the Collateral Agent and
each Buyer for any taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable as a result of any such failure. The obligations of the Guarantors
under this Section 12 shall survive the termination of this Guaranty and the payment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable
hereunder.
SECTION
13. Indemnification.
(a)
Without limitation of any other obligations of any Guarantor or remedies of the Collateral Agent or the Buyers under this Guaranty or
applicable law, except to the extent resulting from such Indemnified Party’s (as defined below) gross negligence or willful misconduct,
as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction no longer subject to appeal, each Guarantor shall, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and each Buyer and each of their affiliates
and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against,
and shall pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees
and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party in connection with or as a result
of any failure of any Guaranteed Obligations to be the legal, valid and binding obligations of any Transaction Party enforceable against
such Transaction Party in accordance with their terms.
(b)
Each Guarantor hereby also agrees that none of the Indemnified Parties shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract,
tort or otherwise) or any fiduciary duty or obligation to any of the Guarantors or any of their respective affiliates or any of their
respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors, and each Guarantor hereby agrees not to assert any claim against any
Indemnified Party on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, incidental or punitive damages arising out of or
otherwise relating to the facilities, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the advances, the Transaction Documents or any of
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
SECTION
14. Miscellaneous.
(a)
Each Guarantor will make each payment hereunder in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds to
the Collateral Agent or each Buyer, at such address specified by the Collateral Agent or such Buyer from time to time by notice to the
Guarantors.
(b)
No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty and no consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom shall in any event
be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each Guarantor and the Collateral Agent, and then such waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
10
(c)
No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent or any Buyer to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy hereunder or
under any other Transaction Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder
or under any Transaction Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights
and remedies of the Collateral Agent and the Buyers provided herein and in the other Transaction Documents are cumulative and are in
addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by any applicable law. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent
and the Buyers under any Transaction Document against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by the Collateral
Agent or any Buyer to exercise any of their respective rights or remedies under any other Transaction Document against such party or
against any other Person.
(d)
Any provision of this Guaranty that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or affecting the validity or
enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
(e)
This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations
(other than inchoate indemnity obligations) and shall not terminate for any reason prior to the respective Maturity Date of each Note
(other than Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations) and (ii) be binding upon each Guarantor and its respective successors and
assigns. This Guaranty shall inure, together with all rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent and each Buyer hereunder, to the benefit
of and be enforceable by the Collateral Agent, the Buyers, and their respective successors, and permitted pledgees, transferees and assigns.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the Collateral Agent or any Buyer may pledge, assign or otherwise transfer
all or any portion of its rights and obligations under and subject to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction
Document to any other Person in accordance with the terms thereof, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits
in respect thereof granted to the Collateral Agent or such Buyer (as applicable) herein or otherwise, in each case as provided in the
Securities Purchase Agreement or such Transaction Document. None of the rights or obligations of any Guarantor hereunder may be assigned
or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.
(f)
This Guaranty and the other Transaction Documents reflect the entire understanding of the transaction contemplated hereby and shall not
be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, entered into before the date hereof.
(g)
Section headings herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Guaranty for any other
purpose.
SECTION
15. Currency Indemnity.
If,
for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against Guarantor in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert
into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 15 referred to as the “Judgment Currency”)
an amount due under this Guaranty in any currency (the “Obligation Currency”) other than the Judgment Currency, the
conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding (a) the date of actual payment
of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of courts of the jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion
being made on such date, or (b) the date on which the judgment is given, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction
