Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive
Agreement.
Loan, Security and Guaranty Agreement
On September 4, 2026 (the “Closing Date”),
NeoVolta, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Loan, Security and Guaranty Agreement (the “Loan
Agreement”) with Horizon Technology Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Horizon”), as collateral agent and
a lender, ROHO Capital Opportunity Fund LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ROHO”), as a lender, and Monroe Capital
Management Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Monroe Capital”), as administrative agent.
Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the lenders agreed
to make term loans to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of $20,000,000 (collectively, the “Loans”). The Loan Agreement
also provides for a potential increase in the aggregate loan commitment amount of up to an additional $10,000,000, upon the mutual agreement
of the Company and each participating lender, subject to certain conditions, including satisfaction of the Minimum Cushion Requirement
(described below) on a pro forma basis and the issuance of additional warrants to the participating lenders.
The Loans have a scheduled maturity date of March
3, 2028 and bear interest at a rate of 10.00% per annum. The Loans are subject to scheduled amortization payments, with the first amortization
payment due on December 4, 2026 and subsequent payments due on the fourth day of each calendar month thereafter through the maturity date.
The amortization amount for each payment date is equal to, in the aggregate, the greater of $1,250,000 or 7.5% of the “value traded”
in the Company’s common stock for the previous month, subject to a cap of $2,000,000 per payment date. The Company may, at its option,
prepay all or any portion of the outstanding Loans without premium or penalty. The proceeds of the Loans are to be used solely for working
capital or general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The Loans are secured by a first priority security
interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, which serve as guarantors of the Company’s obligations
under the Loan Agreement.
The Loan Agreement contains customary representations
and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default. Among other things, the Company is required to maintain compliance
with a Minimum Cushion Requirement, which requires that the sum of the principal amount of common stock issuable under the Company’s
at-the-market sales agreement plus the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash and cash equivalent proceeds held in deposit accounts subject
to account control agreements in favor of the collateral agent minus $5,000,000 be at all times at least $5,000,000 greater than the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Loans. The Company and its subsidiaries must also maintain at least $5,000,000 of cash on hand on
a consolidated basis at all times.
The foregoing description of the Loan Agreement
does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Loan Agreement, a copy of which
is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
2
Warrants
In connection with the Loan Agreement, on the
Closing Date, the Company issued five-year warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 1,454,545 shares of the Company’s
common stock (the “Common Stock”), at an exercise price of $3.30 per share (subject to adjustment as provided therein), to
the lenders under the Loan Agreement, and agreed to issue additional Warrants to purchase up to 727,273 shares on a pro rata basis in
connection with any increase to the loan amount as described above.
The Warrants may only be exercised on a cashless
basis if there is no registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for, the resale of shares
of Common Stock underlying the Warrants to or by the holder. The holder of a Warrant is prohibited from exercising any Warrants to the
extent that such exercise would result in the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates exceeding
4.99% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise. In addition, the Warrants
are subject to a “Cap Allocation Amount,” which limits the number of shares issuable upon exercise of each Warrant to a number
of shares equal to such holder’s pro rata share of 19.99% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the issue date (as adjusted
for stock splits, stock dividends and similar events), less any shares previously issued upon exercise of such Warrant. This cap applies
unless and until the Company obtains stockholder approval in accordance with Nasdaq listing rules to permit the issuance of shares upon
exercise of the Warrants in excess of the Cap Allocation Amount (the “Stockholder Approval”). The Company is required under
the Warrants to take all necessary action to obtain the Stockholder Approval, and may not engage in any dilutive issuance that would cause
a Warrant to be exercisable for shares in excess of the Cap Allocation Amount without first obtaining such approval. In the event of certain
fundamental transactions, the holder of the Warrants will have the right to receive the Black Scholes Value (as defined in the Warrants)
of its Warrants calculated pursuant to a formula set forth in the Warrants, payable either in cash or in the same type or form of consideration
that is being offered and being paid to the holders of Common Stock.
If, while the Warrants are outstanding, the Company
issues or sells, or is deemed to have issued or sold, any Common Stock and/or Common Stock equivalents other than in connection with certain
exempt issuances, at a purchase price per share less than the exercise price of the Warrants in effect immediately prior to such issuance
or sale or deemed issuance or sale, then immediately after such issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale, the exercise price of the
Warrants then in effect will be reduced based on a weighted average dilution formula and the number of shares underlying the Warrant will
be proportionately increased, subject to the Cap Allocation Amount described above.
The foregoing description of the Warrants does
not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Warrant, a copy of which is filed
as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the Loan Agreement, on the
Closing Date, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with ROHO and
Horizon (collectively, the “Investors”).
Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement,
the Company agreed to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), on or prior to 30 days from
the Closing Date, a registration statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of the Warrants (the “Registrable Securities”). The Company agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective no later than 60 days after the applicable filing deadline (or 90 days in the event of a review
by the SEC).
The foregoing description of the Registration
Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights
Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this
Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to the Loan Agreement is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On the Closing Date, the Company issued the Warrants
to purchase an aggregate of 1,454,545 shares of Common Stock to the lenders under the Loan Agreement and agreed to issue additional Warrants
to purchase up to 727,272 shares on a pro rata basis in connection with any increase to the loan amount as described above. The Warrants
will be issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”).

NEOVOLTA, INC.
WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES
OF COMMON STOCK
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value
received, [___________] and its assignees (the “Holder”) are entitled to subscribe for and purchase up to [_____ duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”)
(as adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the “Shares”), of NeoVolta, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the
“Company”), at the price of $[3.30] per share (such price and such other price as shall result, from time to time,
from the adjustments specified in Section 4 hereof is herein referred to as the “Exercise Price”), upon the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. This Warrant to Purchase Shares of Common Stock is issued pursuant to that certain
Loan, Security and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of September 4, 2026 (as the same may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from
time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), by and among ROHO Capital Opportunity Fund LLC, as lender, Monroe Capital Management
Advisors, LLC, as administrative agent, Horizon Technology Finance Corporation, as collateral agent and lender, and the Company, as borrower.
As used herein, (a) the term
“Date of Grant” shall mean September [__], 2026, (b) the term “Warrant” shall mean this Warrant
to Purchase Shares of Common Stock and any other warrant of like tenor issued in substitution or exchange for this Warrant to Purchase
Shares of Common Stock (whether upon transfer, partial exercise or otherwise in lieu of this Warrant), (c) the term “Other Warrants”
shall mean, collectively, any other Warrant to Purchase Shares of Common Stock issued by the Company pursuant to the Loan Agreement, together
with any other warrants of like tenor issued in substitution or exchange therefor (whether upon transfer, partial exercise or otherwise
in lieu of any such warrant) and (d) the term “Warrants” shall mean this Warrant and the Other Warrants, collectively,
unless the context clearly requires otherwise.
1. Term.
The purchase right represented by this Warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time from the Date of
Grant through 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date (the “Expiration Date”) that is the five (5) year anniversary
of the Date of Grant.
2. Method
of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant.
(a) Subject
to Section 1 hereof, the purchase right represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder hereof, in whole or in
part, at any time and from time to time, at the election of the Holder, by delivering to the Company (by electronic mail or otherwise
in accordance with Section 13) written notice of such exercise substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (an
“Exercise Notice”), together with payment to the Company, by certified or bank check or by wire transfer to the account
set forth in Exhibit B or such other account as the Company may designate by written notice to the Holder (a “Wire Transfer”),
of an amount equal to (x) the then applicable Exercise Price multiplied by (y) the number of Shares then being purchased, or by making
an appropriate notation in the notice of exercise indicating that the aggregate Exercise Price is being satisfied through a Cashless Exercise
(as defined below). The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder, nor shall
any ink-original signature or medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) with respect to any notice of exercise
be required. The “Exercise Date” in respect of each exercise of this Warrant shall be defined as the date that the
notice of exercise in respect of such exercise, duly completed, is delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms hereof.
1
(b) In
the event of any exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof, the Shares so purchased
shall be delivered by the Company, (i) in the case of an exercise at a time when any of the Unrestricted Conditions (as defined below)
is met as of the Exercise Date in respect of the Shares issuable upon such exercise, by causing the Company’s designated transfer
agent (“Transfer Agent”) to electronically transmit the Shares issuable upon such exercise to the Holder by crediting
the account of the Holder’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), through its Deposit/Withdrawal
at Custodian (“DWAC”) system, as specified in the relevant notice of exercise, no later than the later of (x) one (1)
Trading Day (or, if less, the number of Trading Days then comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below)) after the relevant
Exercise Date and, (y) in the case of a Cash Exercise, one (1) Trading Day (or, if less, the number of Trading Days then comprising the
Standard Settlement Period) after the date the applicable aggregate Exercise Price is received by the Company, or (ii) in the case of
an exercise at a time when the Shares issuable upon such exercise are required to bear a restrictive legend pursuant to Section 6
because none of the Unrestricted Conditions is met in respect thereof (or if requested by the Holder in lieu of delivery pursuant to clause
(i) of this paragraph), issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the notice of exercise, a certificate,
registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise,
within the later of (x) five (5) Trading Days after the relevant Exercise Date and, (y) in the case of a Cash Exercise, two (2) Trading
Days after the date the applicable aggregate Exercise Price is received by the Company; provided, that with the consent of the Holder,
in lieu of the Company delivering certificates representing such Shares, the Transfer Agent shall electronically credit such Shares by
book-entry in the name of the Holder (or its designee) on the books and records of such Transfer Agent and deliver a statement thereof
to the Holder.
(c) For
purposes hereof, (a) “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period for equity trades effected by
U.S. broker-dealers, expressed in a number of Trading Days, as in effect on the applicable date; (b) “Trading Day”
means any day on which shares of Common Stock are traded for any period on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or if the Common Stock is no longer
listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, on the other United States securities exchange or market on which the Common Stock is then being
principally traded (and if the Common Stock is not so listed or traded, then “Trading Day” means a Business Day (as defined
in the Loan Agreement)); and (c) “Delivery Period” means, in respect of each exercise of the Holder’s purchase
right hereunder, the period commencing on the delivery of a duly completed notice of exercise in respect of such exercise and ending on
the deadline for delivery of the Shares issuable in respect of such exercise, as set forth in Section 2(b).
(d) Upon
the exercise of this Warrant or any part hereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action, including
obtaining and delivering an opinion of counsel, if applicable, to assure that the Transfer Agent shall transmit to the Holder in accordance
with this Section 2 the number of Shares issuable upon such exercise. The Company warrants that such Shares will be free-trading
and freely transferable if any of the Unrestricted Conditions is met as of the Exercise Date. Upon the delivery of a notice of exercise
in accordance with Section 2(a) and, in the case of a Cash Exercise, delivery of the applicable aggregate Exercise Price, the Holder
shall be deemed for purposes of dividends, distributions, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”),
and any other applicable securities laws to have become the holder of record of the Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been
exercised, irrespective of the date such Shares are credited to the Holder’s or its designee’s DTC account or the date of
delivery of the certificates evidencing such Shares, as the case may be. The Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this
Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Shares available, or that may become available, hereunder and this Warrant
has been exercised in full, in which case the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within five (5) Trading
Days following the date the final notice of exercise is delivered to the Company. Execution and delivery of a notice of exercise with
respect to a partial exercise shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing
the right to purchase the remaining number of Shares. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Shares purchased
and the remaining number of Shares. The Holder and any assignee of the Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledges and agrees
that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Shares hereunder, the number of Shares
available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated herein.
2
(e) In
addition to any other rights or remedies available to the Holder hereunder or otherwise at law or in equity, if the Company fails to cause
its Transfer Agent to deliver to the Holder all of the applicable Shares pursuant to an exercise of this Warrant on or before the last
day of the Delivery Period in respect of such exercise, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an
open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder or Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases shares of Common Stock to deliver
in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Shares that the Holder was entitled to receive upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”),
then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage
commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Shares
that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise on or before the last day of such Delivery Period,
by (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either
reinstate the portion of this Warrant and equivalent number of Shares for which such exercise was not timely honored (and refund the Exercise
Price therefor, to the extent paid by the Holder), or deliver to the Holder the number of Shares that would have been issued had the Company
timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Shares having a total
purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise to cover the sale of Common Shares with an aggregate
sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall
be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder
in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. Nothing herein
shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including a decree of specific
performance and/or injunctive relief, with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver the shares of Common Stock upon exercise
of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
3. Stock
Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. All Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will,
upon issuance pursuant to the terms and conditions herein, be fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all preemptive rights and taxes,
liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. During the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised,
the Company will at all times have authorized, and reserved exclusively for issuance upon exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by
this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant
in full, assuming that the Exercise Price is satisfied in cash.
4. Adjustment
of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise
Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows:
(a) Subdivision
or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired shall subdivide or combine
its outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased and the number of Shares issuable hereunder
shall be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased and the number
of Shares issuable hereunder shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a combination.
(b) Stock
Dividends and Other Distributions. If the Company at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall (i) pay a dividend
with respect to its Common Stock payable in Common Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be reduced, from and after the date of determination
of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (B) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution; or (ii) make any other distribution with respect to Common
Stock (except any distribution provided for in Section 4(a)), then, in each such case, provision shall be made by the Company such that
the Holder of this Warrant shall receive upon exercise of this Warrant a proportionate share of any such dividend or distribution as though
it were the holder of the Shares as of the record date fixed for the determination of the stockholders of the Company entitled to receive
such dividend or distribution. For the avoidance of doubt, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any options, convertible
securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of its capital
stock (the “Purchase Rights”), and such grant, issuance or sale does not result in a dividend or distribution resulting
in an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4(b), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such
Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights that the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common
Stock acquirable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (assuming the Exercise Price is satisfied in cash) immediately before 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 Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
3
(c) Fundamental
Transactions.
(i)
If at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant, (i) there shall be any reclassification, share exchange or change of securities
of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par
value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or such class is otherwise converted into, or exchanged for, other
securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a transaction covered by Section 4(a) or 4(b)); (ii) the Company
effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity (other than a merger with another entity (x) in which the
Company is the acquiring and the surviving entity, (y) which does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding securities
of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and (z) which does not result in the Company being owned by a parent entity or the
stockholders immediately prior to such merger or consolidation not owning, directly or indirectly, at least fifty percent (50%) of the
voting power of the capital stock of the Company following such merger or consolidation), (iii) the Company consummates a sale of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Company, (iv) pursuant to any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another
Person), holders of capital stock tender shares representing more than 50% of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company and
the Company or such other Person, as applicable, accepts such tender for payment, (v) the Company consummates a stock purchase agreement
or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with
another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company (except for any
such transaction in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction maintain, in substantially the same proportions,
the voting power of such Person immediately after the transaction) (each, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, in each
such case, the Holder shall have the right to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or
property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior
to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (including any
distributions or Purchase Rights to which the Holder would then be entitled in accordance with Section 4(b)) without regard to any limitations
on exercise contained herein (the “Alternate Consideration”). The Company shall not effect any Fundamental Transaction
in which the Company is not the surviving entity or the Alternate Consideration includes securities of another Person unless (i) the Alternate
Consideration is solely cash and the Company provides for the simultaneous “cashless exercise” of this Warrant pursuant to
Section 10 below or (ii) prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, any successor to the Company, surviving entity
or other Person (including any purchaser of assets of the Company) shall assume the obligation to deliver to the Holder such Alternate
Consideration as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to receive, and the other obligations under
this Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph (c) shall similarly apply to subsequent transactions analogous to a Fundamental Transaction
type. If the Company undertakes a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the surviving entity and the Alternate Consideration
includes securities of another Person, then the Company shall provide that, prior to or simultaneously with the consummation of such Fundamental
Transaction, any successor to the Company, surviving entity or other Person (including any purchaser of assets of the Company) shall assume
the obligation to deliver to the Holder such Alternate Consideration as the Holder is entitled to receive in accordance with the foregoing
provisions, and to assume the other obligations under this Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph (c) shall similarly apply to
subsequent transactions analogous of a Fundamental Transaction type. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a “Fundamental Transaction”
shall not include (a) any transaction effected solely for the purpose of changing the jurisdiction of incorporation or formation of the
Company, or (b) any internal reorganization or restructuring among the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries that does not result
in a change in the beneficial ownership of the Company’s capital stock.
(ii)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction (other than any transaction
effected solely for the purpose of changing the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company), the Company or any Successor Entity (as
defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation
of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase
this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining
unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, that in the case of a Fundamental
Transaction that is not within the Company’s control and is not approved by the Company’s board of directors, the Holder shall
only be entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity consideration (having a value equal to the Black Scholes Value) in
the same type or form of consideration (including the same choice as to form) as the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive in
such Fundamental Transaction.
4
(iii)
“Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained
from the “OV” function on Bloomberg determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for
pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between
the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Expiration Date, (B) an expected volatility equal
to the greater of (i) 100% and (ii) the 100 day volatility, each obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365
day annualization factor) as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction,
(C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the greater of (i) the sum of the price per share being offered in
cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (ii) the greater
of (x) the last Volume Weighted Average Price (as defined below) immediately prior to the public announcement of such Fundamental Transaction
and (y) the last Volume Weighted Average Price immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction (D) a remaining option
time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Expiration Date and
(E) a zero cost of borrow. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds within
five (5) Trading Days of the Holder’s election (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction). The terms of
any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity
to comply with the provisions of this Section 4(c) and insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly
adjusted upon any subsequent Fundamental Transaction.
(iv)
The Company shall cause any Person acquiring the Company’s assets or capital stock in a Fundamental Transaction or any successor
entity resulting from a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Direct Successor Entity”),
or any parent company of any Direct Successor Entity (or in the case of multiple parent entities, the parent entity with the largest public
market capitalization as of the date of the Fundamental Transaction (the Direct Successor Entity or any such parent entity, the “Successor
Entity”), to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 4(c) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder
(which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option
of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument
substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock
of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this
Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise
price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares
of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such adjustments to the number
of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately
prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder.
Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for the Company (so
that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall
refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations
of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Holder may elect, at its sole option, by delivery of written notice to the Company to waive this Section 4(c) to permit
a Fundamental Transaction without the assumption of this Warrant.
5
(d) Dilutive
Issuances.
(i) Adjustment
of Applicable Price. If and whenever on or after the Date of Grant, the Company issues or sells, or is deemed to have issued or sold
(a “Dilutive Issuance”), any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned
or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding Exempted Issuances (as defined below)), for a consideration per share less
than a price equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale (the “Applicable Price”),
then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the product of
(x) the Applicable Price and (y) the quotient determined by dividing (A) the sum of (I) the product derived by multiplying the
Applicable Price by the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding (as defined below) immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance,
plus (II) the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such Dilutive Issuance, by (B) the product derived by multiplying
the (I) Applicable Price by (II) the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately after such Dilutive Issuance. In
the event of an adjustment to the Applicable Price pursuant to this Section 4(d), the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price immediately following such adjustment equals the aggregate Exercise
Price immediately prior to such adjustment; provided, that in no event shall the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
exceed the Cap Allocation Amount (as defined below) unless Stockholder Approval (as defined below) has been obtained. The Company shall
take all necessary action to obtain any and all approvals of its stockholders necessary (pursuant to the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market
LLC (“Nasdaq”) or otherwise) to permit the Company to issue shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant
in accordance with Nasdaq rules and all applicable laws, without regard to the Cap Allocation Amount (the “Stockholder Approval”).
The Company shall not engage in any Dilutive Issuance (including any action that would be deemed a Dilutive Issuance) that would cause
this Warrant to be exercisable for a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Cap Allocation Amount without first obtaining the
Stockholder Approval.
(ii) Adjustments for
Options, Convertible Securities and Units. For purposes of determining the adjusted Exercise Price under Section 4(d) above
(which, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company expressly agrees shall mean, for all purposes of this Section 4(d), including for
purposes of determining whether the Company has issued or sold, or shall be deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock
for a consideration per share of Common Stock less than a price equal to the Applicable Price), the following shall be applicable:
(1) Issuance
of Options. If the Company in any manner grants, issues or sells any Options (as defined below), other than Options that are solely
exercisable for or solely convertible into shares of Common Stock that would constitute Exempted Issuances, and the lowest price per share
for which a share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option (or upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible
Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option) (the “Dilutive Option Strike Price”) is less than the Applicable
Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of
the granting, issuance or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 4(d)(ii)(1), the “Dilutive
Option Strike Price” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the
Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock (x) upon the granting or sale of such Option, (y) upon exercise of such Option and
(z) upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of
the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock or of such Convertible Security upon the exercise
of such Option or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Security.
(2) Issuance
of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner grants, issues or sells any Convertible Securities (as defined below), other
than Convertible Securities that are solely convertible into or solely exchangeable for shares of Common Stock that would constitute Exempted
Issuances, and the lowest price per share for which one share of shares of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exchange or exercise
thereof (the “Dilutive Convertible Security Conversion Price”) is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of
Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of
such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 4(d)(ii)(2), the “Dilutive Convertible
Security Conversion Price” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable
by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of any such Convertible Security and upon conversion,
exchange or exercise of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance
of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Security, and if any such issue or sale of such
Convertible Security is made upon exercise of any Option for which adjustment of the Exercise Price had been or are to be made pursuant
to other provisions of this Section 4(d)(ii)(2), no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issue
or sale.
6
(3) Change
in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase, exchange or exercise price provided for in any Option (other than an Option
that is exercisable solely for or convertible solely into shares of Common Stock that would constitute Exempted Issuances), the additional
consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security (other than a Convertible
Security that is convertible solely into or exchangeable solely for shares of Common Stock that would constitute Exempted Issuances),
or the rate at which any such Options or Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common
Stock changes at any time, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price that would
have been in effect at such time had such Option or Convertible Security provided for such changed purchase, exchange or exercise price,
additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold, and the number
of shares of Common Stock acquirable hereunder shall be correspondingly readjusted. For purposes of this Section 4(d), if the terms
of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Warrant are changed in the manner described
in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise,
conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change. No adjustment pursuant to this Section
4(d) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect.
(4) Calculation
of Consideration Received. In case any Options are issued in connection with the issuance or sale of other securities of the Company,
together comprising one integrated transaction or series of related transactions, (A) the Options will be deemed to have been issued for
a consideration equal to the fair value thereof, as determined in a manner consistent with the Company’s valuation of such securities
for its financial reporting (the “Option Consideration”), and for purposes of applying the provisions of this Section
4(d), the Option Consideration shall be allocated pro rata among all the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Options
to determine the consideration per each such share of Common Stock and (B) the other securities will be deemed to have been issued for
an aggregate consideration equal to the aggregate consideration received by the Company for the Options and other securities (determined
as provided below with respect to each share of Common Stock represented thereby), less the Option Consideration. If any shares of Common
Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received
therefor will be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, Options and/or Convertible
Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the
fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration
received by the Company will be the fair market value of such securities on the date of receipt of such securities, calculated in a manner
consistent with Section 10.2(b). If any shares of Common Stock, Options and/or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners
of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor
will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such
shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or
securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Holder. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within five (5) Business
Days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration
will be determined within ten (10) Business Days after the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by
the Company and the Holder. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error, and
the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
(iii) Certain
Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 4(d):
(1) “Cap
Allocation Amount” means, as of any date or time of determination, a number of Shares equal to the difference of (i) [_______],
minus (ii) the aggregate number of Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant prior to such date or time (in each case, subject to appropriate
adjustment for any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination or similar event that increases or decreases the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock). In the event that the Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer this Warrant (in whole or in part), the Cap Allocation
Amount applicable hereto immediately prior to such transfer shall be allocated to the Warrant acquired by the transferee as shall be determined
by the Holder and such transferee.
7
(2) “Common
Stock Deemed Outstanding” means, at any given time, the number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding at such time,
plus the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be outstanding pursuant to Section 4(d)(ii) hereof regardless of whether the
Options or Convertible Securities are actually exercisable or convertible at such time, but excluding any Common Shares owned or held
by or for the account of the Company or issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.
(3) “Convertible
Security” means capital stock, indebtedness or securities (other than Options) directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable
or exercisable for shares of Common Stock.
(4) “Exempted
Issuances” means: (i) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to a dividend or distribution in respect of which an
adjustment to the Exercise Price and the number of Shares is made pursuant to Section 4(a) or 4(b); (ii) shares of Common
Stock issued or issuable upon exercise or conversion of any Option or Convertible Security outstanding as of the date hereof (but without
giving effect to any amendment or modification thereof that changes the exercise price, conversion price, conversion rate or similar term
of any such security or that increases the number of shares of Common Stock directly or indirectly issuable upon the exercise, conversion
or exchange thereof); (iii) shares of Common Stock issued to employees or directors of, or consultants or advisors to, the Company or
any of its subsidiaries pursuant to an equity incentive plan approved by the board of directors of the Company; (iv) shares of Common
Stock issued, directly or indirectly, pursuant to the Loan Agreement; (v) shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities issued or issuable
in connection with any strategic partnership, joint venture or licensing agreement approved by the board of directors of the Company,
provided that such agreement is not entered into for the primary purpose of raising capital; (vi) up to 11,802,649 shares (subject to
appropriate adjustment for any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination or similar event that increases or decreases the number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock) of Common Stock or Convertible Securities issued or issuable as full or partial consideration for
the acquisition of any business, assets or technology by the Company; and (vii) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to
any “at-the-market” offering program established by the Company.
(5) “Options”
means any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase, directly or indirectly, shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities.
(e) Adjustment
of Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment in the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 4(a) or 4(b), the number of Shares
purchasable (or that may become purchasable) hereunder shall be adjusted, to the nearest whole share, to the product obtained by multiplying
the number of Shares purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment in the Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall
be the Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price immediately thereafter.
5. Notice
of Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price or the number of Shares purchasable (or that may become purchasable) hereunder shall be
adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by email a notice setting forth the
Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts
requiring such adjustment.
6. Fractional
Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional
shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor based on the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise as reasonably
determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.
7. Compliance
with Securities Act.
(a) Compliance
with Securities Act. The Holder, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that until such time as this Warrant and the Shares have been
registered under the Securities Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or an exemption from registration under the Securities
Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, this Warrant and
all Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant (unless registered under the Act and any applicable state securities laws) shall be stamped
or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
8
“THE OFFER AND SALE OF THESE
SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW.
THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT, EXCEPT PURSUANT
TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT, INCLUDING PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT OR PURSUANT TO A PRIVATE SALE EFFECTED UNDER
SECTION 4(a)(7) OF THE ACT OR APPLICABLE FORMAL OR INFORMAL SEC INTERPRETATION OR GUIDANCE, SUCH AS A SO-CALLED “4[a](1) AND A HALF
SALE.” 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.”
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Shares (and
any certificates or electronic book entries evidencing the Shares) shall not contain or be subject to (and Holder shall be entitled to
removal of) any legend restricting the transfer thereof and shall not be subject to any stop-transfer instructions: (A) while a registration
statement covering the sale or resale of such Shares is effective under the Act, subject to the Holder’s delivery to the Company
of an undertaking that such Holder will only sell or otherwise transfer such shares pursuant to such effective registration under the
Act or Rule 144 under the Act, and that if such securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold in compliance
with the plan of distribution set forth therein (the “Undertaking”) (it being agreed that the certifications included
in Exhibit A shall be a sufficient Undertaking for purposes of this paragraph), provided that no Holder shall be required to give an Undertaking
in respect of Shares as to which a prior Undertaking has been delivered by such Holder and has not been withdrawn by such Holder, or (B)
if the Holder provides customary paperwork to the effect that it has sold (or is contemporaneously selling) such Shares pursuant to Rule
144 under the Act, or (C) if such Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1) (without the application of Rule 144(c)(1)) under
the Act as set forth in customary non-affiliate paperwork provided by the Holder, or (D) if at any time on or after the date hereof the
Holder certifies that it is not an “affiliate” (within the meaning of such term under Rule 144 under the Act) of the Company
and has not been such an affiliate of the Company for a period of three months and that the Holder has satisfied a holding period for
purposes of Rule 144 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, subsection (d)(3)(ii) thereof) of at least six (6) months, or (E) if such
legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff
of the SEC) as determined in good faith by counsel to the Company or as set forth in a legal opinion delivered by Katten Muchin Rosenman
LLP or other nationally recognized counsel to the Holder (collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”). The Company
shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly after the date the registration statement required to
be filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in the Loan Agreement) has become effective under the Act (the “Registration
Effective Date”), or at such other time as any of the Unrestricted Conditions has been satisfied, if required by the Transfer
Agent to effect the issuance of the applicable Shares without a restrictive legend or removal of the legend hereunder. If any of the Unrestricted
Conditions is met at the time of issuance of any Shares then such Shares shall be issued free of all legends and stop-transfer instructions.
The Company agrees that, following the Registration Effective Date or at such time as any of the Unrestricted Conditions is met or such
legend is otherwise no longer required under this Section 7(a), upon request from the Holder, it will, no later than the earlier
of (x) one (1) Trading Day and (y) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following the delivery by the
Holder to the Company or the Transfer Agent of the Shares issued with a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder
or its designee the Shares free from all restrictive and other legends (or similar notations) by crediting the account of the Holder's
prime broker with DTC, through its DWAC system. The Company acknowledges and agrees that, if the Holder delivers a certification (in the
form included in Exhibit A or otherwise) that it is not an “affiliate” of the Company (as such term is used under Rule 144
under the Act) and has not been such an affiliate for a period of three months, then from and after the delivery thereof, the Holder shall
be deemed to have certified that it is not such an affiliate of the Company upon each delivery of a notice of exercise, unless the Holder
otherwise advises the Company in writing. For purposes of Rule 144 under the Act and subsection (d)(3)(ii) thereof, it is intended, understood
and acknowledged that the Shares issuable upon any exercise of this Warrant pursuant to a Cashless Exercise shall be deemed to have been
acquired, and the holding period thereof shall be deemed to have commenced, on the Date of Grant. The Holder, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges
and agrees that the removal of any restrictive legends from any securities as set forth in this Section 7(a) is predicated upon
the Company’s reliance that the Holder will sell such securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Act or
an exemption therefrom, and that if such securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold while such registration
statement is effective and available for resales of such securities, in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein. The
Company and its counsel and transfer agent shall be entitled to rely on the foregoing agreement and/or such certificate of each Holder
in issuing instructions letters and opinions.
9
(b) Applicability
of Restrictions. Neither any restrictions contained herein nor of any legend described in this Warrant shall apply to any transfer
of, or grant of a security interest in, this Warrant (or the Common Stock obtainable upon exercise thereof) or any part hereof (i) to
a partner of the Holder if the Holder is a partnership or to a member of the Holder if the Holder is a limited liability company, (ii)
to a partnership of which the Holder is a partner or to a limited liability company of which the Holder is a member, (iii) to any affiliate
of the Holder if the Holder is a corporation, (iv) notwithstanding the foregoing, to any corporation, company, limited liability company,
limited partnership, partnership, or other person managed or sponsored by Horizon Technology Finance Corporation (“HRZN”)
or in which HRZN has an interest, (v) or to a lender to the Holder or any of the foregoing; provided, however, in any such
transfer, if applicable, the transferee shall on the Company’s request agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Warrant
as if an original Holder hereof; and provided, further that such transfer does not violate the registration requirements of the Securities
Act.
8. Rights
as Stockholders; Information. Except as expressly provided in Section 4, no Holder of this Warrant, as such, shall be entitled to
vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Common Stock which may at any time be issuable upon the exercise hereof for any purpose,
nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder of this Warrant, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder
of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof,
or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until this Warrant shall have been exercised
and the Shares purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Company will transmit to the Holder of this Warrant such information, documents and reports as are generally distributed to the holders
of any class or series of the securities of the Company concurrently with the distribution thereof to the stockholders.
9. Beneficial
Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect any exercise of this
Warrant (or issue any Shares thereupon), and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant or acquire Shares
pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise as contemplated by the applicable Exercise
Notice, the Holder, together with the Holder’s Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would
be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares beneficially owned by any “group”
of which the Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire
securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein), would beneficially
own in excess of 4.9% of the total number of Common Shares then issued and outstanding (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”);
provided, however, that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall not apply to the extent that the Common Stock is deemed not to constitute
an “equity security” pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) under the Exchange Act. For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning
set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the SEC, and the percentage beneficially owned by the Holder
shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act; provided that, for avoidance of doubt,
the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the applicable Exercise Notice with respect to which such determination is being
made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion
of this Warrant, and (B) exercise, exchange or conversion of the unexercised, unexchanged or unconverted portion of any other securities
of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion, exchange or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned
by such Holder or any of its Affiliates. For purposes hereof, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
as set forth in the Company’s most recent annual report filed with the SEC, or any report filed by the Company with the SEC subsequent
thereto, in each case, unless the Company has confirmed to the Holder the number of Shares of Common Stock outstanding as provided in
the next sentence (in which case the Holder may rely upon such confirmation). Upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall,
within two (2) Trading Days, confirm in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. Each delivery of
an Exercise Notice by the Holder will constitute a representation by the Holder that it has evaluated the limitation set forth in this
paragraph and determined that the issuance of the full number of Shares of Common Stock requested in such Exercise Notice is permitted
under this paragraph. In any case, the number of outstanding shares shall be determined after giving effect to the actual conversion or
exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. By written notice to the Company, a Holder of this Warrant may from time to time decrease
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to any lower percentage specified in such notice, and any such decrease shall not affect any partial
exercise of this Warrant that is effected prior to the date of such notice.
10
10. Additional
Rights.
10.1 Acquisition
Transactions. To the extent not previously disclosed in a report filed by the Company with the SEC, the Company shall provide the
Holder with at least seven (7) days’ written notice prior to closing thereof of the terms and conditions of any Fundamental Transaction.
10.2 Cashless
Exercise (Net Issuance).
(a) Cashless
Exercise. In addition to and without limiting the rights of the holder under the terms of this Warrant, if on any Exercise Date occurring
after the Registration Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) for the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement) required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a)(i) of the Registration Rights Agreement a Registration Statement covering
the resale of all of the Shares shall not be effective and available for the resale of the Shares, then in lieu of paying the Exercise
Price in cash in connection with any exercise of this Warrant (in whole or in part), the Holder shall have the right to exercise this
Warrant on a cashless basis (a “Cashless Exercise”) by making an appropriate notation on the applicable notice of exercise.
Upon any exercise of this Warrant in which the Holder elects a Cashless Exercise, the Company shall deliver to the Holder (without payment
by the Holder of any exercise price or any cash or other consideration) that number of shares of fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock
as is determined according to the following formula:
Where: X = the
number of Shares that shall be issued to the Holder or its designee
Y = the number of Shares with respect to which the Warrant is being exercised
A = the fair market value of one share of Common Stock as of the Exercise Date
B = the Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).
No fractional shares shall
be issuable upon a Cashless Exercise, and, if the number of shares to be issued, as determined in accordance with the foregoing formula,
is other than a whole number, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of the resulting fractional
share on the Exercise Date.
(b) Determination
of Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Warrant, “fair market value” of a share of Common Stock as of a particular
Exercise Date or other date of determination (the “Determination Date”) shall mean:
(i) the
arithmetic average of the Volume Weighted Average Price (as defined below) of the Common Stock on each of the five (5) consecutive Trading
Days ending immediately prior to the Determination Date (or, for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of the determination of the fair
market value in the case of an exercise of this Warrant, or any other event, occurring on a Trading Date after the end of regular trading
hours on the applicable exchange or trading market, ending on such Determination Date). In the event that a stock split, stock dividend,
stock combination or other event that would result in an adjustment pursuant to Section 4(a) or Section 4(b) is consummated during any
period for which the arithmetic average of the Volume Weighted Average Prices is to be determined, the Volume Weighted Average Price for
all Trading Days during such period prior to the effectiveness of the event shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such event; or
11
(ii) if

Average Price) the fair market value of a share of Common Stock shall be the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as mutually
determined in good faith by the Company and the Holder.
For purposes hereof, “Volume
Weighted Average Price” means, with respect to a share of Common Stock as of any date, the volume weighted average sale price
on the principal United States exchange or market on which the Common Stock or such security is then being traded as reported by, or based
upon data reported by, Bloomberg, LP (or an equivalent, reliable reporting service mutually acceptable to and hereafter designated by
the Holder and the Company) (“Bloomberg”), or, if no volume weighted average sale price is reported for such security,
then the last closing trade price of such security as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no last closing trade price is reported for such security
by Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices of any market makers for such security on the OTCQX Market, the OTCQB Market or Pink Open
Market of OTC Markets Group (or, in each case, any successor to such market).
(c) Events
of Failure. The Company understands that any Event of Failure (as defined below) could result in economic loss to the Holder. If any
Event of Failure occurs, as compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Company agrees to pay (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty)
to the Holder an amount, payable in cash (“Failure Payments”), equal to 18% per annum (or the maximum rate permitted
by applicable law, whichever is less) of (i) in the case of a Delivery Failure or a Legend Removal Failure, the fair market value of the
Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, (which shall be deemed to include all Shares as to which such Delivery Failure or Legend
Removal Failure relates, whether issued or issuable hereunder) and (ii) in the case of a Fundamental Transaction Failure, the Black-Scholes
Value, in each case, as of the date of such Event of Failure, which amount shall accrue daily (and be compounded monthly) from the date
of such Event of Failure until the Event of Failure is cured. For purposes of clarification, it is agreed and understood that Failure
Payments shall continue to accrue following any Event of Failure until the applicable Failure Amount is paid in full. The Failure Payments
for each Event of Failure shall be paid on or before the fifth (5th) Trading Day of each calendar month following the calendar month in
which such Failure Payments accrued. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual damages (to the extent in excess
of the Failure Payments) for the Company’s Event of Failure, and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available
at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief). Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to
establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event
that the rate of interest required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess
of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by the Company to the Holder and thereby refunded to the Company. For purposes
hereof:
“Delivery Failure”
means the Company fails to deliver Shares to the Holder within any applicable Delivery Period (other than due to the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation);
“Event of Failure”
means the occurrence of any of the following: (i) a Delivery Failure occurs and remains uncured for a period of more than ten (10) days;
(ii) a Legend Removal Failure occurs and remains uncured for a period of more than ten (10) days; or (iii) the Company breaches any of
its obligations under Section 4(c) in respect of a Fundamental Transaction (a “Fundamental Transaction Failure”).
“Legend Removal Failure”
means the Company fails to issue the Shares without a restrictive legend, or fails to remove a restrictive legend, when and as required
under Section 7(a) hereof.

amounts which remain unpaid after such amounts are due after giving effect to any applicable grace periods. If an Event of Default has
occurred and the Obligations have been accelerated (whether automatically or by Administrative Agent’s election), Borrower shall
pay interest on the aggregate, outstanding accelerated balance hereunder from the date of the Event of Default until all Events of Default
are cured, at a per annum rate equal to the Default Rate (in lieu of the Loan Rate).
2.3

Agent in immediately available funds to Administrative Agent’s account not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date due,
and funds received after that time will be deemed to have been received by Administrative Agent on the following Business Day. Borrower
shall make all payments to Administrative Agent and the Lenders in Dollars without set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, deduction, or other
defense. Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to each Lender its share of all such payments received in collected funds by Administrative
Agent for the account of that Lender.
17
(b)
Date. Whenever any payment is due hereunder on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.
(c)
Taxes.
(i)
For purposes of this Section 2.4(c), the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. Any and all payments by or on
account of any obligation of any Obligor under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except
as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires
the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled
to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Obligor shall be increased
as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it
would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(ii)
Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified
Taxes payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses
arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the
relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender (with a
copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.
(iii)
Each Lender shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for any Indemnified Taxes attributable
to such Lender (but only to the extent that no Obligor has already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without
limiting the obligation of the Obligors to do so), other than (i) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with
the provisions of Section 12.1(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (ii) any Excluded Taxes attributable
to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Administrative Agent shall
be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any
time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent to such Lender from any other source against
any amount due to Administrative Agent under this Section.
(iv)
As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.4(c),
Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing
such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative
Agent.
18
(v)
If a Recipient is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which Borrower
is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement, Recipient shall deliver
to Borrower, as reasonably requested by Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will
permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (1) any Lender
that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S.
Person”) shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under
this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed originals
of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is not subject to U.S. federal backup withholding tax; (2) any Lender that is not a U.S. Person
(a “Foreign Lender”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent
(in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender
under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), whichever of
the following is applicable: (w) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States
is a party, (I) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E
establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax
treaty and (II) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing
an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income”
article of such tax treaty; (x) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; (y) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption
for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (I) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1
to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue
Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a
“controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate”) and (II) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or (z) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not
the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S.
Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification
documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct
or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax
Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; and (3) any
Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies
as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and
from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed
by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with
such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding
or deduction required to be made. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete
or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing
of its legal inability to do so.
(vi)
If Recipient receives a refund in respect of Taxes paid by any Obligor pursuant to this Section 2.4(c), which in the sole
discretion of Recipient exercised in good faith is allocable to such payment, it shall promptly pay such refund, together with any other
amounts paid by such Obligor in connection with such refunded taxes, to such Obligor, net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any
Taxes to which such Recipient has become subject as a result of its receipt of such refund) of such Recipient incurred in obtaining such
refund and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided
that such Obligor, upon the request of the applicable Recipient, shall repay to such Recipient amounts paid over pursuant to the preceding
clause (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such Recipient
is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (vi), in no
event will any Recipient be required to pay any amount to any Obligor pursuant to this paragraph (vi) the payment of which would place
such Recipient in a less favorable net after-tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional
amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available
its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Obligor or any other Person.
19
(vii)
If a payment made to Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender
were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of
the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed
by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable
law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested
by Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA
and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and
withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph (vii), Section, “FATCA” is deemed to include any amendments
made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(viii)
Without duplication of other amounts payable by the Obligors under 2.4(c), the Obligors shall timely pay to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment
of, any Other Taxes.
(ix)
Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or any assignment
of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all
obligations under any Loan Document.
2.5
Procedure for Making the Loans.
(a)
Notice. The Borrower shall give written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit B to Administrative Agent and
each Lender with an applicable commitment of the proposed borrowing not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) five (5) Business Days prior
to the proposed date of the Loans. Each such notice will be effective upon receipt by Administrative Agent, will be irrevocable and must
specify the Funding Date and amount of the Loans. On the Funding Date, each Lender with an applicable commitment shall provide the Administrative
Agent with immediately available funds, to Administrative Agent’s account, covering that Lender’s principal amount of the
Loan so long as the Lender has not received written notice that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 with respect to
that Loan have not been satisfied.
(b)
[Reserved].
(c)
Disbursement. After Administrative Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of the applicable Loan from Lenders with applicable
commitments, Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of the Loan available to the Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by transferring
to Borrower immediately available funds equal to the proceeds received by Administrative Agent, less the Original Issue Discount. Each
Funding Date must be a Business Day.
2.6
Good Faith Deposit; Legal and Closing Expenses.
(a)
Good Faith Deposit. Borrower has delivered to Administrative Agent a good faith deposit in the amount of One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000) (the “Good Faith Deposit”), which shall be applied toward Lender’s fees and expenses payable
pursuant to Section 2.6(b). If the Funding Date does not occur, the Lenders shall retain the Good Faith Deposit as compensation for its
time, expenses and opportunity cost, except to the extent that the Funding Date does not occur because the Lenders cannot offer financing
arrangements consistent with the terms outlined in that certain Confidential Term Sheet for Secured Notes dated July 22, 2026, executed
by the Borrower and ROHO.
(b)
Legal, Due Diligence and Documentation Expenses. Concurrently with its execution and delivery of this Agreement, Borrower
shall pay to Administrative Agent all of Lenders’, Administrative Agent’s and Collateral Agent’s reasonable legal, due
diligence and documentation expenses in connection with the negotiation and documentation of this Agreement and the Loan Documents, less
the Good Faith Deposit; provided, that the Borrower’s reimbursement obligation under this Section 2.6(b) shall in no event exceed

20
2.7
[Reserved.]
2.8
Recordkeeping. Administrative Agent, on behalf of each Lender, shall record in its records, the date and amount of each
Loan made by each Lender and each repayment thereof. The aggregate unpaid principal amount so recorded will be rebuttably presumptive
evidence of the principal amount of the Loans owing and unpaid. The failure to so record any such amount or any error in so recording
any such amount will not, however, limit or otherwise affect the Obligations of Borrower under this Agreement or under any Note to repay
the principal amount of the Loans under this Agreement, together with all interest accruing thereon.

with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent.
4.3
Duration of Security Interest. Except as set forth herein, Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral
shall continue until the payment in full and the satisfaction and performance of all Obligations (other than unasserted contingent obligations),
and termination of each Lender’s commitment to fund the Loan, whereupon at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, the Collateral

necessary to make effective the release contemplated by this Section 4.3, including duly authorizing and delivering termination

required by Collateral Agent or Lender for perfection of the security interests therein created hereunder) and so long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, shall be entitled to manage, operate and use the same and each part thereof with the rights and
franchises appertaining thereto (including making sales or other Transfers of Collateral permitted hereunder); provided that the
possession, enjoyment, control and use of the Collateral shall at all times be subject to the observance and performance of the terms
of this Agreement.
25
4.5
Delivery of Additional Documentation Required. Each Obligor shall from time to time execute and deliver to Collateral Agent,
at the request of Collateral Agent, all financing statements and other documents Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in form reasonably
satisfactory to Collateral Agent, to perfect and continue Collateral Agent’s perfected security interests in the Collateral and
in order to consummate fully all of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents.
4.6
Right to Inspect. Collateral Agent and Lender (through any of its officers, employees, or agents) shall have the right upon
reasonable prior notice, from time to time, during Obligors’ usual business hours, to inspect the books and records of Obligors
and Subsidiaries and to make copies thereof and to inspect, test, and appraise the Collateral in order to verify Obligor’s financial
condition or the amount, condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral. Obligors shall permit, and cause each of its Subsidiaries
to permit, Collateral Agent to discuss financial matters with Obligors’ independent auditors, and hereby authorizes all such independent
auditors, to discuss those financial matters with Lender or Collateral Agent or any representative, agent, or advisor thereof; provided
that a Responsible Officer of Borrower or any other Obligor is given the opportunity to be present to the extent practicable. Any inspection,
discussion, test or appraisal conducted hereunder shall be conducted at the sole cost and expense of Obligors, except that, so long as
no Event of Default exists, Obligors shall only be required to reimburse Collateral Agent and Lender for (a) one inspection or audit and
(b) one appraisal, in each case in any calendar year (for the avoidance of doubt, any inspection, audit or appraisal initiated while an
Event of Default exists shall not count against the foregoing annual limits). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and subject
to Section 6.14, no Obligor nor any of their respective Subsidiaries will be required to disclose, permit the inspection, examination
or making of copies or abstracts of, or discussion of, any document, information or other matter constituting (i) non-financial trade
secrets or non-financial proprietary information, (ii) that is subject to attorney-client or similar privilege or constitutes attorney

Obligor or an Affiliate of an Obligor that is not entered into in contemplation of such disclosure.
4.7

to the business of the Obligors developed or acquired by an Obligor in connection with any product developed or acquired for sale or licensing,

with any product developed or acquired for sale or licensing, and (iii) any major revisions or upgrades to any software that has previously

(b)
Each Obligor shall promptly (but not later than simultaneously with the delivery of the Officer’s Certificate in connection
with the fiscal quarter in which such federal registrations or filings occurred), notify Collateral Agent of any federal registrations
or filings by Obligor of any patent or patent application, or trademark or trademark application, or copyright or copyright application
and shall promptly execute and deliver to Collateral Agent any grants of security interests in same to the extent constituting Collateral,
in form reasonably acceptable to Collateral Agent, to file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright
Office, as applicable.

(c)
provide written notice to Collateral Agent within ten (10) days of entering or becoming bound by any Restricted License (other
than over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public); and
(d)
take such commercially reasonable steps as Collateral Agent reasonably requests to obtain the consent of, or waiver by, any person
whose consent or waiver is necessary for (i) any Restricted License to be deemed “Collateral” and for Collateral Agent to
have a security interest in it that might otherwise be restricted or prohibited by law or by the terms of any such Restricted License,
whether now existing or entered into in the future, and (ii) Collateral Agent to have the ability in the event of a liquidation of any
Collateral to dispose of such Collateral in accordance with Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents.
4.9 Lien
Subordination. Collateral Agent Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Obligations hereunder shall not be subordinate in right of
payment to any other obligations to any third parties, including other lenders, equipment lenders or equipment lessors and
Lenders’ rights and remedies hereunder shall not in any way be subordinate to the rights and remedies of any such third
parties. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Collateral Agent agree to execute and deliver such
agreements and documents as may be reasonably requested by Obligors from time to time which set forth the lien subordination
described in this Section 4.9 and are reasonably acceptable to Collateral Agent. Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to
execute any agreement or document which would impose obligations, restrictions or lien priority on Collateral Agent or Lender which
are less favorable to Collateral Agent or Lender than those described in this Section 4.9.
5.
Representations and Warranties of the Obligors. Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, each Obligor represents
and warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and Lender, as follows:

Organization and Qualification. Each Obligor and its Subsidiaries is an entity duly organized and validly existing under
the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation, as applicable, and qualified and licensed to do business in, and is in good
standing in, any jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of Property requires that it be so qualified and licensed

of their business.
5.3
Conflict with Other Instruments, etc. Neither the execution and delivery of any Loan Document to which such Obligor is a
party nor the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated nor compliance with the terms, conditions and provisions thereof will
conflict with or result in a breach of (a) any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the articles of incorporation, certificate of
incorporation or formation, the by-laws, or any other organizational documents of such Obligor or (b) any law or any regulation, order,
writ, injunction or decree of any court or Governmental Authority by which such Obligor or any Subsidiary of such Obligor or any of their
respective property or assets may be bound or affected, except where such conflict or breach would not reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect, or (c) any material agreement or instrument to which such Obligor is a party or by which it or any of its Property
is bound or to which it or any of its Property is subject, or constitute a default thereunder or result in the creation or imposition
of any Lien, other than Permitted Liens.
27
5.4
Authorization; Enforceability. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the security interest in the
Collateral, the incurrence of the Loan, the execution and delivery of the other Loan Documents to which an Obligor is a party and the
consummation of the transactions herein and therein contemplated have each been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of
such Obligor. No approval of the stockholders of the Borrower is required, under applicable law, the certificate of incorporation or bylaws
of the Borrower (in each case, as amended and in effect on the date hereof) or the rules and regulation of the Principal Market for the

Obligor’s obligations under any Loan Document or (c) the granting of the security interest in the Collateral, except for (i) filings
in connection with the perfection of the security interest in any of the Collateral, or (ii) the Warrants, in each case other than those
that have already been obtained. The Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations
of each Obligor, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights or by general
principles of equity. The issuance of the Specified Capital Stock in respect of any Warrants has been duly and validly authorized by the
Obligors’ board of directors and no further consent or authorization is required by an Obligor, its board of directors, its shareholders
or any other Person in connection therewith.
5.5
No Prior Encumbrances. Each Obligor has good and marketable title to all Collateral, free and clear of Liens except for
Permitted Liens. Each Obligor has good title and ownership of, or is licensed under, all of Obligors’ current Intellectual Property.

to its customers, resellers and/or distributors in the ordinary course of business, (b) over-the-counter software that is commercially
available to the public and (c) material Intellectual Property licensed to Obligor and noted on the Disclosure Schedule. Each patent which

Property which Obligor owns or purports to own and which is material to Obligor’s business has been judged invalid or unenforceable,
in whole or in part. No Obligor is a party to, nor is any Obligor bound by, any Restricted License. Each Obligor has not received any
written communications alleging that such Obligor has violated, or by conducting its business as proposed, would violate any proprietary
rights of any other Person. Each Obligor has no knowledge of any infringement or violation by it of the intellectual property rights of
any third party and has no knowledge of any violation or infringement by a third party of any of its Intellectual Property. The Obligors
own all Intellectual Property that is material to the business of the Obligors and their Subsidiaries, free and clear of any Liens other
than Permitted Liens.
5.6
Security Interest. The provisions of this Agreement create legal and valid security interests in the Collateral in favor
of Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, and, assuming the proper filing of one or more financing statements identifying the
Collateral with the proper state and/or local authorities, the security interests in the Collateral granted to Collateral Agent and the
Lenders pursuant to this Agreement (a) constitute and will continue to constitute first priority security interests (except to the extent
any Permitted Liens may have a superior priority to Collateral Agent’s Liens under this Agreement), and (b) are and will continue
to be superior and prior to the rights of all other creditors of Borrower (except to the extent any Permitted Liens may have a superior
priority to Collateral Agent’s Liens under this Agreement).

or threatened (in writing) actions or proceedings.
5.9
Financial Statements. All financial statements relating to Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate that have been or may
hereafter be delivered by Borrower to Collateral Agent or Lender (including any such financial statements filed with the SEC, which shall
be deemed to have been so delivered for purposes of this Section 5.9) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, except where otherwise
noted therein, and present fairly in all material respects Borrower’s Consolidated financial condition as of the dates thereof and
Borrower’s Consolidated results of operations for the periods presented, except as to interim financial statements, subject to year-end
adjustments. Any such financial statements of the Borrower filed with the SEC, as of their respective dates, complied as to form in all
material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC (including Regulation S-X)
with respect thereto. The accounting firm that expressed its opinion with respect to the consolidated financial statements included in
the Borrower’s most recently filed annual report on Form 10-K, and reviewed the consolidated financial statements included in the
Borrower’s most recently filed quarterly report on Form 10-Q, was independent of the Borrower pursuant to the standards set forth
in Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC and as required by the applicable rules and guidance of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), and such firm was otherwise qualified to render such opinion under applicable law and the rules and regulations
of the SEC. Borrower and its Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance
that (a) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (b) transactions are recorded
as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (c) reasonable
controls to safeguard assets are in place and (d) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable
intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

Full Disclosure; SEC Reports. No representation, warranty or other statement made by any Obligor in any Loan Document (including
the Disclosure Schedule), certificate or written statement furnished to Collateral Agent or Lender, when taken as a whole, contains any
untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained in such certificates
or statements, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. All projections and forecasts delivered to Collateral
Agent, Administrative Agent and Lender by any Obligor represent the Obligors’ good faith estimate of future financial performance
and are based on assumptions believed by the Obligors to be fair and reasonable in light of current market conditions, it being acknowledged
and agreed by Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent and Lender that projections and forecasts as to future events are not to be viewed
as facts and that the actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections or forecasts may differ from the projected
or forecasted results and such differences may be material. There is no fact known to any Obligor which materially adversely affects,
or which would in the future be reasonably expected to materially adversely affect, its ability to perform its obligations under this
Agreement. As of the Closing Date, each Obligor has filed all SEC Reports required to be filed by it with the SEC and none of such reports,
schedules, forms, statements and other documents contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. The Borrower has not received any written comments from the staff of the SEC that have not been resolved to the satisfaction
of the staff of the SEC. Except for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, no event, liability,
development or circumstance has occurred or existed, or is contemplated to occur, with respect to any Obligor, or any of their respective
business, properties, prospects, operations or financial condition, (i) that would be required to be disclosed by the Borrower under applicable
securities laws on a registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC relating to an issuance and sale by the Borrower of Specified
Capital Stock or other securities or (ii) that, under applicable securities laws, is required to have been, or be, publicly disclosed
by the Borrower (on SEC Form 8-K otherwise) prior to, on or within four (4) Business Days after the date hereof, and, in either case,
that shall not have been publicly disclosed by the Borrower at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date hereof. Other than information
with respect to transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents publicly disclosed by the Borrower in the Form
8-K, to the Borrower’s knowledge none of the Borrower nor any of its officers, directors (or equivalent persons), Affiliates, attorneys,
agents or representatives or other Persons acting on their behalf has provided or made available to any shareholder or its Affiliates,
attorneys, agents or representatives with any information that constitutes or would be deemed to constitute MNPI (as defined below).

Solvency, Etc. As of the Closing Date, before and after the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, the Obligors, taken as a whole, are Solvent. “Solvent” means,

of the liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of such Person, (b) the present fair saleable value of the assets of such Person
is not less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of such Person on its debts as they become absolute and
matured, (c) such Person does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts or liabilities beyond such Person’s
ability to pay as such debts and liabilities mature and (d) such Person is not engaged in business or a transaction, and is not about

are subject to preemptive rights or any other similar rights or any liens or encumbrances suffered or permitted by the Borrower. There
are no outstanding Equity Securities of Borrower containing anti-dilution or similar provisions that will be triggered by the Borrower’s
execution of the Loan Documents or issuance of the Specified Capital Stock in respect of any Warrants. Except for the Borrower’s
2019 Stock Plan (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), no Obligor has any

paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes and Liens with respect to the issue thereof, with the holders thereof being entitled to
all rights accorded to a holder of Specified Capital Stock, and will not be issued in violation of, or subject to, any preemptive or similar
rights of any Person. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Loan Documents, including the issuance of the Warrants,
and the issuance, sale and delivery of the Warrant Shares will not: (A) obligate the Borrower to offer to issue, or issue, shares of Specified
Capital Stock or other securities to any Person (other than the holders of the Warrants); or (B) result in a right of any holder of the
Borrower’s securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under, and will not result in any other anti-dilution
or other adjustments (automatic or otherwise) under, any securities of the Borrower.
5.15

has been affected by any fire, explosion, accident, strike, lockout or other labor dispute, drought, storm, hail, earthquake, embargo,

welfare or incentive plans to which any Obligor or any Subsidiary is a party, and there are no strikes, lockouts, work stoppages or slowdowns,

expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.16
No Present Intention to Terminate. As of the Closing Date and to the knowledge of any Obligor, no officer of any Obligor,

Reserve System. No Obligor nor any Subsidiary of an Obligor is an “investment company” or a company controlled by an “investment
company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940. No Obligor is engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying margin stock (as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) and no proceeds
of any Loan will be used to purchase or carry margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any
margin stock.
(b)
Neither the Borrower nor any Obligor nor any Subsidiary of any Obligor is, or is controlled by, a Foreign Entity of Concern. No
Foreign Entity of Concern owns, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the outstanding Equity Securities of the Borrower or any Obligor
or any Subsidiary of any Obligor, whether calculated based on voting power or economic interest. To the knowledge of the Borrower, no
Specified Foreign Entity owns, directly or indirectly, 25% or more, and Specified Foreign Entities do not own in the aggregate 40% or
more of the outstanding Equity Securities of any Obligor or any Subsidiary, whether calculated based on voting power or economic interest.
No Obligor nor any Subsidiary is a Specified Foreign Entity, Foreign-Influenced Entity or Prohibited Foreign Entity under Sections 45X,
48E or 7701(a)(51).
(c)
The Borrower and each Obligor and each Subsidiary of each Obligor is, and at all times has been, in compliance with all applicable
FEOC Laws. No Obligor nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) has received, is applying for, or expects to receive any benefits, tax credits,
grants or incentives under any FEOC Laws in a manner that would require the Obligor or any Subsidiary to maintain compliance with specific
Foreign Entity of Concern restrictions, or (ii) has entered into any agreement, license, contract, joint venture, partnership or other
arrangement with a Foreign Entity of Concern that would reasonably be expected to cause any Obligor or any Subsidiary to be treated as
a Foreign Entity of Concern under any FEOC Laws. To the knowledge of the Borrower, no Specified Foreign Entity holds debt of, or receives
payments from, any Obligor or any Subsidiary in a manner that confers “effective control” under Section 7701(a)(51)(D), and
no Specified Foreign Entity has “effective control” through any contract, license, joint venture or other arrangement with
any Obligor or Subsidiary. No Obligor or any Subsidiary that claims or intends to claim a credit under Section 45X or 48E of the Internal
Revenue Code receives “material assistance” from any Prohibited Foreign Entity in excess of the applicable Material Assistance
Cost Ratio thresholds under Sections 45X(d)(6) or 48E(b)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code such that tax credits otherwise available under
Sections 45X or 48E of the Internal Revenue Code would be disallowed, reduced or recaptured.
31
(d)
Each Obligor has implemented policies, procedures and internal controls reasonably designed to ensure compliance with all applicable
FEOC Laws, including procedures to (i) monitor the ownership structure of each Obligor and its Subsidiaries for Foreign Entity of Concern
status, (ii) screen potential investors, joint venture partners, licensees and counterparties for Foreign Entity of Concern status, (iii)
monitor applicable FEOC Laws for changes that could affect the Foreign Entity of Concern status of any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries,
(iv) monitor Specified Foreign Entity ownership of each Obligor and its Subsidiaries for Foreign-Influenced Entity purposes, (v) monitor
debt holdings, payment arrangements, licenses, contracts and other arrangements with Specified Foreign Entities for “effective control”
under Section 7701(a)(51)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code, and (vi) track, to the extent any Obligor claims or intends to claim a credit
under Section 45X or 48E of the Internal Revenue Code, the Material Assistance Cost Ratio for eligible components, subcomponents, materials
and projects to maintain compliance with Sections 45X and 48E of the Internal Revenue Code.
5.20
Payment of Taxes. All federal and other material tax returns, reports and statements (including any attachments thereto
or amendments thereof) of each Obligor and its Subsidiaries filed or required to be filed by any of them have been timely filed (or extensions
have been obtained and such extensions have not expired) and all taxes shown on such tax returns or otherwise due and payable and all
assessments, fees and other governmental charges upon each Obligor, its Subsidiaries and their respective properties, assets, income,
businesses and franchises which are due and payable have been paid when due and payable, except for the payment of any such taxes, assessments,
fees and other governmental charges which are being diligently contested by such Obligor in good faith by appropriate proceedings and
for which adequate reserves have been made under GAAP. To the knowledge of each Obligor, no tax return of any Obligor or any Subsidiary
is currently under an audit or examination, and no Obligor has received written notice of any proposed audit or examination, in each case,
where a material amount of tax is at issue. No Obligor is an “S corporation” within the meaning of Section 1361(a)(1) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”).
5.21
Anti-Terrorism Laws. No Obligor will, directly or indirectly, use the proceeds of the Loan, or lend, contribute or otherwise
make available such proceeds to any Subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person, (i) to fund any activities or business of or with
any Person, or in any country or territory, that, at the time of such funding, is, or whose government is, the subject of Sanctions, (ii)
in any other manner that would result in a violation of Sanctions by any Person (including any Person participating in the Loan, whether
as lender, underwriter, advisor, investor or otherwise), or (iii) in any manner that would, directly or indirectly, finance any investments
or activity of, or make any payments to, any Restricted Entity. Lender hereby notifies each Obligor that pursuant to the requirements
of Anti-Terrorism Laws, and Lenders’ policies and practices, Lender is required to obtain, verify and record certain information
and documentation that identifies Obligor and its principals, which information includes the name and address of Obligor and its principals
and such other information that will allow Lender to identify such party in accordance with Anti-Terrorism Laws.
5.22
Eligibility to Use Form S-3. As of the effective date of the ATM Registration Statement and the date of each ATM Prospectus,
the Borrower will be eligible, and, the Borrower is currently eligible, to use Form S-3 for the primary offer and sale of Specified Capital
Stock, including pursuant to the ATM Agreement. As of the date hereof, the Borrower is eligible to use Form S-3 to register the resale
of Warrant Shares.
5.23
ATM Agreement and ATM Registration Statement.
(a)
The copy of the ATM Agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Borrower with the SEC on March
27, 2026 is true, correct and complete in all respects. The ATM Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Borrower
and, to the Obligors’ knowledge, each other party thereto, and constitutes a valid, legal, and binding obligation of the Borrower
and, to the Obligors’ knowledge, each other party thereto, enforceable against the Borrower and, to the Obligors’ knowledge,
each other party thereto in accordance with its terms, except as rights to indemnity thereunder may be limited by federal or state securities
laws and except as such enforceability may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws. The Borrower had, as of the date of the ATM Agreement, and
continues to have, full corporate power and authority to enter into the ATM Agreement and to authorize, issue and sell the full amount
of Specified Capital Stock contemplated by the ATM Agreement. The Borrower is not in default under, or in breach of, the ATM Agreement.
To the Obligors’ knowledge, none of the other parties to the ATM Agreement are in default under, or in breach of, the terms of the
ATM Agreement. To the Obligors’ knowledge, no event has occurred which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both,
would result in a default under, or breach of, the ATM Agreement.
32
(b)
The ATM Registration Statement is effective and available for the offer and sale of Specified Capital Stock in an aggregate principal
amount of at least $30,000,000 as of the date hereof. The SEC has never issued any stop order or other order suspending the ATM Registration
Statement or any other registration statement filed by the Borrower under the Securities Act or the 1934 Act. The offer and sale of Specified
Capital Stock in the ATM Offering as contemplated by the ATM Agreement comply in all material respects with any requirements under applicable
laws, rules and regulations. The Borrower was not, at the time of the filing of the ATM Registration Statement and is not, an “ineligible
issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.
5.24
Securities Matters.
(a)
The Borrower is not, and has not been, a “shell company” (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the 1934 Act) or an issuer
of the type identified in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) under the Securities Act. The Borrower is eligible to register the Warrant Shares for resale
by the holders thereof on a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act, and, as of the date of this representation is
made, there are no facts, conditions or circumstances that would cause the Borrower not to be eligible to register the Warrant Shares
for resale by the holders thereof on a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act on or after the date hereof.
(b)
Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by the Lenders in Section 17 of this Agreement, the offer, issuance
and sale of the Securities are exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act (pursuant to Section
4(a)(2) thereof and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder or otherwise) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and applicable
state securities laws. Neither the Borrower, nor any other Obligor, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly,
made, or will make, any offers or sales of any capital stock or other securities, or solicited or will solicit any offers to buy any capital
stock or other securities, under circumstances that would require registration of the Securities under the Securities Act or cause this
offering of the Securities to be integrated with any other offerings by the Borrower for purposes of any applicable stockholder approval
provisions of the Principal Market or any other authority.
(c)
The Specified Capital Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the 1934 Act, and neither the Borrower nor any other Obligor
has taken, or will take, any action designed to terminate, or that is likely to have the effect of terminating, the registration of the
Specified Capital Stock under the 1934 Act; nor has the Borrower or any other Obligor received any notification that the SEC is contemplating
terminating such registration.
(d)
The Borrower has not, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, none of its respective officers, directors or Affiliates or anyone
acting on any such Person’s behalf has, (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result in the stabilization
or manipulation of the price of the Specified Capital Stock of any other security of the Borrower 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, or
(iii) paid or agreed to pay to any Person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other securities of the Borrower.
(e)
Neither the Borrower nor any other Obligor is in violation of any of the material rules, regulations or requirements of the Principal
Market, and, to the knowledge of the Obligors, there are no facts or circumstances that would reasonably lead to delisting or suspension
or termination of trading of the Specified Capital Stock on the Principal Market. Since July 27, 2002, (i) the Specified Capital Stock
has been listed or designated for quotation, as applicable, on the Principal Market, (ii) trading in the Specified Capital Stock has not
been suspended by the SEC or the Principal Market, and (iii) neither the Borrower nor any other Obligor has received any communication,
written or oral, from the SEC or the Principal Market regarding the suspension or termination of trading of the Specified Capital Stock
on the Principal Market. The transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, including the issuance of the Securities hereunder or thereunder,
do not contravene, or require stockholder approval pursuant to, the rules and regulations of the Principal Market.
33
(f)
The Specified Capital Stock is eligible for clearing through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), through its
Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian (DWAC) system, and the Borrower is eligible for and participating in the Direct Registration System (DRS)
of DTC with respect to the Specified Capital Stock. The transfer agent for the Specified Capital Stock is a participant in, and the Specified
Capital Stock is eligible for transfer pursuant to, DTC’s Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program. The Specified Capital Stock
is not, and has not at any time been, subject to any DTC “chill,” “freeze” or similar restriction with respect
to any DTC services, including the clearing of transactions in shares of Specified Capital Stock through DTC.

(h)
Neither Borrower, nor any of its predecessors, any director, executive officer, other officer of Borrower participating in the
offering of the Securities, any beneficial owner (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act) of 20% or more of Borrower’s
outstanding voting equity securities, calculated on the basis of voting power, any “promoter” (as that term is defined in
Rule 405 under the Securities Act) connected with Borrower at the time this representation is made, any placement agent or dealer participating
in the offering of the Securities and any of such agents’ or dealer’s directors, executive officers, other officers participating
in the offering of the Securities (each, a “Covered Person”) is subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications
described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”). The Borrower has exercised
reasonable care to determine (i) the identity of each person that is a Covered Person and (ii) whether any Covered Person is subject to
a Disqualification Event. Each Obligor has complied in all material respects, to the extent applicable, with its disclosure obligations
under Rule 506(e). With respect to each Covered Person, the Borrower has established procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the
Borrower receives notice from each such Covered Person of (A) any Disqualification Event relating to that Covered Person, and (B) any
event that would, with the passage of time, become a Disqualification Event relating to that Covered Person, in each case occurring up
to and including the date this representation is made. Borrower is not aware of any other reason disqualified from reliance upon Rule
506 of Regulation D for purposes of the offer, sale and issuance of the Securities.
(i)
Neither the Borrower, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged or will engage in any
form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act) in connection with the
offer, sale or issuance of the Securities.

appropriate proceedings which suspend the collection thereof (provided that the Obligor has adequately bonded such amounts or reserves
sufficient to discharge such amounts have been provided on the books of such Obligor). In addition, no Obligor shall change, and shall

Other Affirmative Covenants.

Disclosure; MNPI
(i)
Borrower shall timely issue a press release disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Press
Release”), and file a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) disclosing the material terms of the transactions
contemplated hereby and any other MNPI provided or otherwise made available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender
or any of their respective Affiliates, attorneys, agents or representatives on or prior to the Closing Date and including as exhibits
thereto this Agreement, the form of Warrant, the Registration Rights Agreement and the other Exhibits to this Agreement and including
this Agreement; provided, that the Borrower may not issue the Press Release without the Lenders’ prior written consent. The Borrower
shall provide a copy of the draft Form 8-K to the Lender for review prior to release and the Borrower shall give due consideration to
all reasonable comments from the Lender. The Borrower shall not issue any press release nor otherwise make any such public statement regarding
the Lender or the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the Lender, except if such disclosure is made in a manner consistent
with the Press Release or Form 8-K, or is required by law, in which case the Borrower shall (a) ensure that such disclosure is restricted
and limited in content and scope to the maximum extent permitted by law to meet the relevant disclosure requirement and (b) provide a
copy of the proposed disclosure to the Lender for review prior to release and the Borrower shall give due consideration to the Lenders’
reasonable comments, provided that, except as otherwise provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, subsequent to the filing of the
Form 8-K, such requirement shall not be required for any disclosures included in the Borrower’s future SEC Reports that is materially
consistent with the Form 8-K. Following the execution of the Loan Documents, the Lender and its Affiliates and/or advisors may place announcements
on their respective corporate websites and in financial and other newspapers and publications (including, without limitation, customary
“tombstone” advertisements) describing the Lender’s relationship with the Borrower under the Loan Documents in a manner
consistent with the Press Release or Form 8-K and including the name and corporate logo of the Borrower.
(ii)
Upon the filing of the Form 8-K, the Borrower shall have disclosed all MNPI provided or made available to any the Administrative
Agent, Collateral Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates, attorneys, agents or representatives by any Obligor or any
of its employees, officers, directors (or equivalent persons), attorneys, agents or representatives on or prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding
the obligations of the Obligors hereunder to provide information, documentation and disclosure to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, but subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.14, each Obligor
shall not, and shall cause each of its employees, officers, directors (or equivalent persons), Affiliates, attorneys, agents and representatives
to not, provide any of the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates, attorneys, agents
or representatives with any MNPI from and after the filing of the Form 8-K with the SEC without the express prior written consent of such
Person. Each Obligor hereby acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.14(a), neither the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender (nor any of such Person’s Affiliates, attorneys, agents or representatives) shall have any
duty of trust or confidence (including any obligation under any confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement entered into by such Person)
with respect to, or any obligation to the Obligors not to trade in any securities while aware of, any MNPI (i) provided by, or on behalf
of, any Obligor, any of its Affiliates or any of its officers, directors (or equivalent persons), employees, attorneys, agents or representatives
in violation of any of the representations, covenants, provisions or agreements set forth in this Section 6.14(a) or (ii) otherwise possessed
(or continued to be possessed) by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective Affiliates,
agents or representatives) as a result of any breach or violation of any representation, covenant, provision or agreement set forth in
this Section 6.14(a). The Obligors understand and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Lenders, their respective
Affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf will rely on the provisions of this Section 6.14 in effecting transactions in the Securities
and other securities of the Borrower and of other Persons.
37
(iii)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (but subject to the last sentence of Section 6.14(a)(iv)), in the event that any
Obligor believes that a required disclosure, notice or communication to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or
any of their respective Affiliates, attorneys, agents or representatives contains MNPI, the Borrower shall, prior to the delivery of such
disclosure, notice or communication, (i) so indicate to such Person, and such indication shall provide such Person the means to refuse
to receive such notice or communication; and in the absence of any such indication, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the
Lenders, the other holders of the Securities and their respective Affiliates, agents and representatives shall be allowed to presume that
all matters relating to such required disclosure, notice or communication do not constitute MNPI and (ii) provide such notice or communication
to Outside Counsel designated by the Administrative Agent. In the event that, in compliance with the foregoing, an Obligor indicates to
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates, attorneys, agents or representatives
that a required disclosure, notice or other communication contains MNPI and such Person then refuses to accept such required disclosure,
notice or other communication, such Obligor shall be excused from any and all obligations hereunder to provide such disclosure, notice,
information or other communication to such Person (subject to the Borrower’s obligation to provide such notice or communication
to Outside Counsel) and no Default or Event of Default hereunder shall be deemed to arise from the refusal of Administrative Agent, Collateral
Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates, attorneys, agents or representatives to accept such disclosure, notice or communication.
In the event that an Obligor either (A) fails to indicate that a notice or communication to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent,
any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates, attorneys, agents or representatives contains MNPI or otherwise provides the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender with MNPI without such Person’s prior written consent or (B) provides such notice or communication
to any such Person notwithstanding such Person’s refusal in writing to receive such notice or communication, such Person shall have
the right to make a public disclosure in the form of a press release, public advertisement or otherwise of the applicable MNPI without
the prior approval by any Obligor or any of their respective officers, directors (or equivalent persons), employees, attorneys, representatives
or agents, and neither the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any Lender (nor any of their respective Affiliates, agents or
representatives) shall have any liability to any Obligor, any of their respective officers, directors (or equivalent persons), employees,
stockholders, attorneys, representatives or agents for any such disclosure; provided, however, that, prior to making any such disclosure,
the Person proposing to make such disclosure shall provide written notice to the Borrower of its intent to do so and shall not make such
disclosure if the Borrower makes public disclosure (in the form of a widely disseminated press release, a public filing with the SEC or
other manner compliant with Regulation FD) of the applicable MNPI within one (1) Business Day after the delivery of such notice to the
Borrower. For purposes of this Agreement, “Outside Counsel” means, in respect of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent or any Lender, such Person’s outside counsel as may be designated from time to time by such Person in writing to Borrower
for purposes hereof and the other Loan Documents (including, to the extent applicable, receiving notices and communications hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents).
(iv)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Borrower reasonably and in good faith determines that it is necessary to disclose
material non-public information to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender for purposes relating to any of the Loan
Documents (a “Necessary Disclosure”) and any of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender shall
have refused to receive such information as set forth in clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall inform counsel to such Person (which shall
be Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP or such other counsel as shall have been designated in writing by such Person) of such determination without
disclosing the applicable material non-public information, and the Borrower and such counsel on behalf of the applicable Person shall
endeavor to agree upon a process for making such Necessary Disclosure to the applicable Person or its representatives that is mutually
acceptable to such Person and the Borrower (an “Agreed Disclosure Process”). Thereafter, the Borrower shall be permitted
to make such Necessary Disclosure (only) in accordance with the Agreed Disclosure Process. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Section 6.14, the Administrative Agent may at any time waive the Borrower’s obligation to comply with this Section 6.14 with respect
to all or any portion of the information, notices or communications required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document, for a specified period of time or otherwise, provided that any such waiver shall be revocable upon three (3)
Business Days’ notice to Borrower unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the Administrative Agent.
(b)
If the Lender determines, in its reasonable judgment and upon the advice of counsel, that the Loan Documents, the Warrants or any
shares in respect of such Warrants pursuant to the terms hereof would be subject to the provisions of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), the Borrower shall file as soon as practicable after the date
on which the Borrower receives notice from the Lender of the applicability of the HSR Act and a request to so file with the United States
Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice the notification and report form required to be filed by it pursuant
to the HSR Act in connection with the foregoing.
38
(c)
The Borrower shall not change its share transfer agent without the prior written consent of the Lender.
(d)
Borrower shall cause the Specified Capital Stock of Borrower to be listed or quoted for trading on a Principal Market at all times
during the Reporting Period (as defined below). During the Reporting Period, the Borrower shall not, and shall cause each other Obligor
not to, take any action that would be reasonably expected to result in the delisting or suspension or termination of trading of the Specified
Capital Stock on the Principal Market. The Obligors shall pay all fees, costs and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations
under this Section 6.14(d). At all times during the Reporting Period, (a) the Specified Capital Stock shall be eligible for clearing through
DTC, through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian (DWAC) system; (b) the Borrower shall be eligible and participating in the Direct Registration
System (DRS) of DTC with respect to the Specified Capital Stock; (c) the transfer agent for the Specified Capital Stock is a participant
in, and the Specified Capital Stock shall be eligible for transfer pursuant to, DTC’s Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program
(or successor thereto); and (d) the Borrower shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Specified Capital Stock to not at any
time be subject to any DTC “chill,” “freeze” or similar restriction with respect to any DTC services, including
the clearing of shares of Specified Capital Stock through DTC, and, in the event the Specified Capital Stock becomes subject to any DTC
“chill,” “freeze” or similar restriction with respect to any DTC services, the Borrower shall use its reasonable
best efforts to cause any such “chill,” “freeze” or similar restriction to be removed at the earliest possible
time.
(e)
From the Closing Date until the first date on which no Securities remain outstanding and this Agreement is terminated (the period
ending on such date, the “Reporting Period”), the Borrower shall timely file (or furnish, as applicable) all SEC Reports,
and the Borrower shall not, other than in connection with a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Warrants) in which all of the Borrower’s
Specified Capital Stock is canceled in exchange for cash, terminate the registration of the Specified Capital Stock under the 1934 Act
or otherwise terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the 1934 Act, even if the securities laws would otherwise
permit any such termination. None of such SEC Documents nor any ATM Registration Statement or ATM Prospectus, when filed or furnished,
shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order
to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading. All financial
statements included in any such SEC Documents or included (or incorporated by reference) in any ATM Registration Statement or ATM Prospectus
shall fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the dates
thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods presented and shall have been prepared in accordance
with GAAP, consistently applied (subject, in the case of unaudited quarterly financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments that
are not material individually or in the aggregate and lack of footnote disclosures). Any audit or report of the Borrower’s independent
certified public accountants on any financial statements included in any such SEC Document shall contain an unqualified opinion (subject
to any going concern status required by GAAP), stating that such consolidated financial statements present fairly in all material respects
the consolidated financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof
and for the periods presented and have been prepared in conformity with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with prior years.
(f)
Borrower shall cause the ATM Agreement and the ATM Offering pursuant to the ATM Prospectus and in accordance with the ATM Agreement
to remain active and in effect (including by causing an ATM Registration Statement to remain effective and available) at all times following

times comply with its obligations under the ATM Agreement, including by causing the timely delivery of all comfort letters, legal opinions
and negative assurance letters required thereunder and otherwise facilitating the ATM Agent’s satisfaction to its diligence requirements.

as permitted by law and, in addition to and without limitation of the foregoing, Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, may, at its
election (or shall, at the election of the Lenders), without notice of election and without demand (unless otherwise set forth below),
do any one or more of the following, all of which are authorized by the Obligors:
44
(a)
Acceleration of Obligations. Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents,
or otherwise, including (i) any accrued and unpaid interest, (ii) the unpaid principal balance of the Loan and (iv) all other sums, if
any, that shall have become due and payable hereunder, immediately due and payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event

by Collateral Agent or Lender);
(b)
Protection of Collateral. Upon one (1) day prior written notice, make such payments and do such acts as Collateral Agent
or Lender considers necessary or reasonable to protect Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral. Each Obligor agrees
to assemble the Collateral if Collateral Agent or Lender so requires and to make the Collateral available to Collateral Agent or Lender
as Collateral Agent or Lender may designate. Each Obligor authorizes Collateral Agent, Lender and their designees and agents to enter
the premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase,
contest, or compromise any Lien which in Collateral Agent’s or Lender’s determination appears or is claimed to be prior or
superior to its security interest and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith. With respect to any Obligor that owns premises,
such Obligor hereby grants Collateral Agent and Lender a license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without
charge, for up to one hundred twenty (120) days in order to exercise any of Collateral Agent’s and Lender’s rights or remedies
provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;
(c)
Preparation of Collateral for Sale. Upon one (1) day prior written notice, ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain,
repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the Collateral. Collateral Agent, Lender and
their agents and any purchasers at or after foreclosure are hereby granted a non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, fully paid, royalty-free
license or other right, solely pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.1, to use, without charge, Obligors’ Intellectual Property,
including labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising
matter, or any Property of a similar nature, now or at any time hereafter owned or acquired by an Obligor or in which an Obligor now or
at any time hereafter has any rights; provided that such license shall only be exercisable in connection with the disposition of Collateral
upon Collateral Agent’s or Lenders’ exercise of its remedies hereunder. The license grated to Collateral Agent shall automatically
terminate upon the waiver of all Events of Default.
(d)
Sale of Collateral. Sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or
transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including an Obligor’s premises) as Collateral Agent determines
are commercially reasonable; and
(e)
[Reserved].
(f)
Purchase of Collateral. Credit bid and purchase all or any portion of the Collateral at any public sale.
Any deficiency that exists after
disposition of the Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by the Obligors.
9.2
Set Off Right. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent and each Lender may
set off and apply to the Obligations then due and owing any and all Indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account
of any Obligor or any other assets of Obligor in Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s possession or control.
45
9.3
Effect of Sale. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the extent permitted by law, each
Obligor covenants that it will not at any time insist upon or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take any benefit or advantage
of, any stay or extension law now or at any time hereafter in force, nor claim, take nor insist upon any benefit or advantage of or from
any law now or hereafter in force providing for the valuation or appraisement of the Collateral or any part thereof prior to any sale
or sales thereof to be made pursuant to any provision herein contained, or to the decree, judgment or order of any court of competent
jurisdiction; nor, after such sale or sales, claim or exercise any right under any statute now or hereafter made or enacted by any state
or otherwise to redeem the property so sold or any part thereof, and, to the full extent legally permitted, except as to rights expressly
provided herein, hereby expressly waives for itself and on behalf of each and every Person, except decree or judgment creditors of such
Obligor, acquiring any interest in or title to the Collateral or any part thereof subsequent to the date of this Agreement, all benefit
and advantage of any such law or laws, and covenants that it will not invoke or utilize any such law or laws or otherwise hinder, delay
or impede the execution of any power herein granted and delegated to Collateral Agent or Lender, but will suffer and permit the execution
of every such power as though no such power, law or laws had been made or enacted. Any sale, whether under any power of sale hereby given
or by virtue of judicial proceedings, shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either at law or
in equity, of any Obligor in and to the Property sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against Obligor, its successors
and assigns, and against any and all Persons claiming the Property sold or any part thereof under, by or through Obligor, its successors
or assigns.
9.4
Power of Attorney in Respect of the Collateral. Each Obligor does hereby irrevocably appoint Collateral Agent, on behalf
of Lender (which appointment is coupled with an interest) the true and lawful attorney in fact of such Obligor, with full power of substitution
and in its name to file any notices of security interests, financing statements and continuations and amendments thereof pursuant to the
Code or federal law, as may be necessary to perfect or to continue the perfection of Collateral Agent’s and Lender’s security
interests in the Collateral. Each Obligor does hereby irrevocably appoint Collateral Agent, on behalf of Lender (which appointment is
coupled with an interest) on the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the true and lawful attorney in fact of
such Obligor, with full power of substitution and in its name: (a) to ask, demand, collect, receive, receipt for, sue for, compound
and give acquittance for any and all rents, issues, profits, avails, distributions, income, payment draws and other sums in which a security
interest is granted under Section 4 with full power to settle, adjust or compromise any claim thereunder as fully as if Collateral
Agent or Lender were such Obligor itself; (b) to receive payment of and to endorse the name of such Obligor to any items of Collateral
(including checks, drafts and other orders for the payment of money) that come into Collateral Agent’s or Lender’s possession
or under Collateral Agent’s or Lender’s control; (c) to make all demands, consents and waivers, or take any other action
with respect to, the Collateral; (d) in Collateral Agent’s or Lender’s discretion to file any claim or take any other
action or proceedings, either in its own name or in the name of such Obligor or otherwise, which Collateral Agent or Lender may reasonably
deem necessary or appropriate to protect and preserve the right, title and interest of Collateral Agent and Lender in and to the Collateral;
(e) endorse such Obligor’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (f) sign such Obligor’s name on any invoice
or bill of lading for any account or drafts against account debtors; (g) make, settle, and adjust all claims under such Obligor’s
insurance policies; (h) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms
Collateral Agent or Lender determine reasonable; (i) transfer the Collateral into the name of Collateral Agent, Lender or a third party
as the Code permits; and (j) to otherwise act with respect thereto as though Collateral Agent or Lender were the outright owner of
the Collateral.
9.5
Lenders’ Expenses. If any Obligor fails to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons
or entities, as required under the terms of this Agreement, then Collateral Agent or Lender may do any or all of the following: (a) make
payment of the same or any part thereof; or (b) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 6.8
of this Agreement, and take any action with respect to such policies as Collateral Agent or Lender deems prudent. Any amounts paid or
deposited by Collateral Agent or Lender shall constitute Lenders’ Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, shall bear interest
at the Default Rate and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Collateral Agent or Lender shall not constitute an agreement
by Collateral Agent or Lender to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Collateral Agent or Lender of any Event of Default
under this Agreement. Obligors shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses, including Lenders’ Expenses, incurred by Collateral Agent
or Lender in the enforcement or attempt to enforce any of the Obligations hereunder not performed when due.
46
9.6
Remedies Cumulative; Independent Nature of Lender’s Rights. Collateral Agent’s and Lenders’ rights and
remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Collateral Agent and Lenders shall have
all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No failure on the part of Collateral
Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy hereunder 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. The Obligations of the Obligors to the Lenders or Collateral Agent may be enforced by the Lenders or Collateral Agent against Obligor
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, it
shall not be necessary for Collateral Agent or any other Lender, as applicable, to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding
to enforce such Obligations.
9.7
Application of Collateral Proceeds. The proceeds and/or avails of the Collateral, or any part thereof, and the proceeds
and the avails of any remedy hereunder (as well as any other amounts of any kind held by Collateral Agent or Lender, at the time of or
received by Collateral Agent or any Lender after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder) shall be paid to and applied as follows:
(a)
First, to the payment of out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including all amounts expended to preserve the value of the Collateral,
of foreclosure or suit, if any, and of such sale and the exercise of any other rights or remedies, and of all proper fees, expenses, liability
and advances, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, incurred or made hereunder by Collateral Agent or any Lender,
including Lenders’ Expenses;
(b)
Second, to the payment to each Lender of the amount then owing or unpaid on the Loan for any accrued and unpaid interest,
the principal balance of the Loan, and all other Obligations with respect to the Loan (provided, however, if such proceeds
shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due, owing or unpaid upon the Loan, then first, to the unpaid interest
thereon ratably, second, to the principal balance of the Loan ratably, and third, to the ratable payment of other amounts
then payable to Lender under any of the Loan Documents); and
(c)
Third, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to Borrower, its successors and assigns or to the Person lawfully entitled
to receive the same.
9.8
Reinstatement. If Collateral Agent shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have
been determined adversely, then and in every such case (unless otherwise ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction), Collateral Agent
shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder with respect to the Property subject to the security interest created
under this Agreement. The obligations of the Obligors (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in respect of Section 4) hereunder
shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment or satisfaction of the Obligations by or on behalf
of the Obligors is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in
bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise.
10.
Waivers; Indemnification.
10.1
Demand; Protest. Each Obligor waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment
and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents,
instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by Collateral Agent or Lender on which such Obligor may in any way be liable.
10.2
Lender’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Collateral Agent and Lenders comply with their obligations, if any,
under the Code, neither Collateral Agent nor any Lender shall in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping
of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause other than Collateral
Agent’s or Lenders’ gross negligence or willful misconduct; (c) any diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any
act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other Person whomsoever. Subject to the foregoing and applicable
law, all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by such Obligor.
47
10.3
Indemnification and Waiver. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated:
(a)
General Indemnity. Each Obligor agrees upon demand to pay or reimburse Collateral Agent and Lenders for all liabilities,
obligations and out-of-pocket expenses, including Lenders’ Expenses and reasonable and documented fees and expenses of one outside
counsel for Collateral Agent and Lender, taken as a whole, from time to time arising in connection with the enforcement or collection
of sums due under the Loan Documents, and in connection with any amendment or modification of the Loan Documents or any “work-out”
in connection with the Loan Documents. Each Obligor shall indemnify, reimburse and hold Collateral Agent, Lenders, and each of their respective
successors, assigns, agents, attorneys, officers, directors, equity holders, servants, agents and employees (each an “Indemnified
Person”) harmless from and against all liabilities, losses, damages, actions, suits, demands, claims of any kind and nature
(including claims relating to environmental discharge, cleanup or compliance), all costs and expenses whatsoever to the extent they may
be incurred or suffered by such Indemnified Person in connection therewith (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees
and expenses but limited to the fees and expenses of one outside counsel to the Collateral Agent and Lenders, taken as a whole), fines,
penalties (and other charges of any applicable Governmental Authority), licensing fees relating to any item of Collateral, damage to or
loss of use of property (including consequential or special damages to third parties or damages to Obligor’s property), or bodily
injury to or death of any person (including any agent or employee of Obligor) (each, a “Claim”), directly or indirectly
relating to or arising out of the use of the proceeds of the Loan or otherwise, the falsity of any representation or warranty of Obligor
or Obligor’s failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The foregoing indemnity shall cover,
without limitation, (i) any Claim in connection with a design or other defect (latent or patent) in any item of equipment or product included
in the Collateral, (ii) any Claim for infringement of any patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property right, (iii) any
Claim resulting from the presence on or under or the escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission or release of any Hazardous
Materials on the premises owned, occupied or leased by Obligor, including any Claims asserted or arising under any Environmental Law,
(iv) any Claim for negligence or strict or absolute liability in tort or (v) any Claim asserted as to or arising under any Account Control
Agreement or any Landlord Agreement; provided, however, Obligor shall not indemnify any Indemnified Person for any liability
incurred by such Indemnified Person (x) as a direct and sole result of such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct,
(y) as a result of a material breach of any obligations under any Loan Document by such Indemnified Person to the extent determined by
a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (z) any dispute solely among Indemnified Persons other than
any claims against an Indemnified Person in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent,
or a similar role hereunder. This Section 10.3(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent liabilities,
losses, damages, costs or expenses arising from any non-Tax Claim. Such indemnities shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding
the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Upon Collateral Agent’s or Lender’s written demand, Borrower shall assume
and diligently conduct, at its sole cost and expense, the entire defense of Collateral Agent and Lenders, each of their members, partners,
and each of their respective, agents, employees, directors, officers, equity holders, successors and assigns against any indemnified Claim
described in this Section 10.3(a). Borrower shall not settle or compromise any Claim against or involving Collateral Agent or Lenders
without first obtaining Collateral Agent’s or Lenders’ written consent thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed. Each Indemnitee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give (subject to restrictions pursuant to attorney-client
privilege, law, rule or regulation, or any obligation of confidentiality) such information and assistance to Borrower as Borrower may
reasonably request in connection with any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding in connection with any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses, unless the Indemnitee reasonably determines there are conflicts of interest between Borrower and the Indemnitee.
(b)
Waiver. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANYWHERE ELSE, EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES
THAT IT SHALL NOT SEEK FROM ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING ANY THEORY IN TORTS), ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT,
CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.
(c)
Survival. The obligations in this Section 10.3 shall survive payment of all other Obligations pursuant to Section 12.8.
All amounts owing under this Section 10.3 shall be paid within thirty (30) days after written demand.

General Provisions.
12.1
Successors and Assigns.
(a)
This Agreement and the Loan Documents shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of
each of the parties; provided, however, neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder may be assigned by any Obligor without Lender’s
prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Lender’s sole discretion. Lender shall have the right without
the consent of or notice to any Obligor to sell, transfer, assign, negotiate, or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest
in Lender’s rights and benefits hereunder; provided that no sale, transfer, assignment or negotiation by a Lender of all
or any part of, or any interest in, its rights and obligations hereunder shall be effective unless and until recorded in the Register
pursuant to clause (b) below, and any purported assignment that is not so recorded shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement
as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (c) below. Collateral Agent
and Lender may disclose the Loan Documents and any other financial or other information relating to Obligor to any potential participant
or assignee of any of the Loan; provided that such participant or assignee agrees to protect the confidentiality of such documents and
information using the same measures that it uses to protect its own confidential information.
(b)
Register. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one
of its offices in the United States of America a copy of each assignment agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation
of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to,
each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive
absent manifest error, and Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant
to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower
and Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(c)
Participant Register. Each Lender that sells a participation permitted under clause (a) above shall, acting solely
for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Person that
acquires such a participation (each, a “Participant”) and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s
interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that
no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant
or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document)
to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in
registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be
conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner
of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative
Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
50
12.2
Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all obligations set forth in this Agreement.
12.3
Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement
for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.
12.4
Entire Agreement; Construction; Amendments and Waivers.
(a)
Entire Agreement. This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, taken together, constitute and contain the entire
agreement among the Obligors, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and the Lenders and supersede any and all prior agreements, negotiations,
correspondence, understandings and communications between the parties, whether written or oral, respecting the subject matter hereof.
Each Obligor acknowledges that it is not relying on any representation or agreement made by Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, any
Lender or any employee, attorney or agent thereof, other than the specific agreements set forth in this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
(b)
Construction. This Agreement is the result of negotiations between and has been reviewed by each of the Obligors, Administrative
Agent, Collateral Agent and each Lender as of the date hereof and their respective counsel; accordingly, this Agreement shall be deemed
to be the product of the parties hereto, and no ambiguity shall be construed in favor of or against an Obligor, Administrative Agent,
Collateral Agent or any Lender. Each of the Obligors, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and the Lenders agree that they intend the
literal words of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that no parol evidence shall be necessary or appropriate to establish
any Obligor’s, Administrative Agent’s, Collateral Agent’s or Lenders’ actual intentions.
(c)
Amendments and Waivers. No discharges or waivers of, or consents to any departures from any provision of this Agreement
or of any of the other Loan Documents (excluding the Warrants, the provisions of which may be waived only in accordance with the terms
thereof) shall be effective unless the same is in writing and signed by each Lender; provided that no such discharge, waiver or
consent affecting the rights or duties of the Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
(excluding the Warrants, the provisions of which may be waived only in accordance with the terms thereof) shall be effective unless the
same is in writing and signed by Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent, as applicable. No amendment or modification of this Agreement
or of any of the other Loan Documents shall be effective unless the same is in writing and signed by each Lender and the Obligors; provided
that no such amendment or modification affecting the rights or duties of the Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document (excluding the Warrants, the provisions of which may be waived only in accordance with the terms thereof) shall
be effective unless the same is in writing and signed by Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent, as applicable, provided further that
no amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by each Lender, (x) release all or substantially all
of the Collateral (except as expressly permitted by the Loan Documents) or (y) subordinate the Liens securing the Obligations to any other
Indebtedness or obligation. Any waiver or consent with respect to any provision of the Loan Documents shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Obligor in any case shall entitle Obligor
to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, waiver or consent affected in
accordance with this Section 12.4 shall be binding upon Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Lender and on the Obligors.
12.5
Reliance by Lender. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein by the Obligors shall be deemed
to be material to and to have been relied upon by Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and each Lender, notwithstanding any investigation
by Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any Lender.
12.6
No Set-Offs by Obligors. All sums payable by the Obligors pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
shall be payable without notice or demand and shall be payable in United States Dollars without set-off or reduction of any manner whatsoever.
51
12.7
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts
(including signatures delivered by facsimile or other electronic means), each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to
be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.
12.8
Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect so
long as any Obligations or commitment to fund remain outstanding. The obligations of Borrower to indemnify Collateral Agent and Lender
with respect to the expenses, damages, losses, costs and liabilities described in Section 10.3 shall survive until all applicable
statute of limitations periods with respect to actions that may be brought against Collateral Agent or any Lender have run.
13.
Relationship of Parties. Borrower and Lenders acknowledge, understand and agree that the relationship between Borrower,
on the one hand, and Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other, is, and at all times shall remain solely that of a borrower and
lender. Neither Administrative Agent nor Lenders shall, under any circumstances, be construed to be a partner or a joint venturer of Borrower
or any of its Affiliates; nor shall Administrative Agent or Lenders, under any circumstances, be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence
or trust or a fiduciary relationship with Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty or any other duty to Borrower
or any of its Affiliates. Neither Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent nor any Lender undertakes or assumes any responsibility or duty
to Borrower or any of its Affiliates to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or otherwise inform Borrower or any of
its Affiliates of any matter in connection with its or their Property, any Collateral held by Collateral Agent or any Lender or the operations
of Borrower or any of its Affiliates. Borrower and each of its Affiliates shall rely entirely on their own judgment with respect to such
matters, and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by Collateral Agent,
Administrative Agent or Lender in connection with such matters is solely for the protection of Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent
and Lenders and neither Borrower nor any Affiliate is entitled to rely thereon.
14.
Confidentiality. All information (other than SEC Reports filed by Borrower with the SEC) disclosed by an Obligor to Administrative
Agent, Collateral Agent or Lenders in writing or through inspection pursuant to this Agreement that is marked confidential shall be considered
confidential. Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Lenders agree to use the same degree of care to safeguard and prevent disclosure
of such confidential information as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Lender uses with its own confidential information, but
in any event no less than a reasonable degree of care. Neither Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent nor Lender shall disclose such information
to any third party (other than (a) to another party hereto, (b) to Administrative Agent’s, Collateral Agent’s or Lender’s
members, partners, attorneys, governmental regulators (including any self-regulatory authority) or auditors, (c) to Administrative Agent’s,
Collateral Agent’s or Lender’s subsidiaries and affiliates, (d) on a confidential basis, to any rating agency, (e) to prospective
transferees and purchasers of the Loan or any actual or prospective party (or its Affiliates) to any swap, derivative or other transaction
under which payments are to be made by reference to the Obligations, Obligor, any Loan Document or any payment thereunder, all subject
to the same confidentiality obligation set forth herein, (f) as required by law, regulation, subpoena or other order to be disclosed or
(g) as provided in Section 6.14) and shall use such information only for purposes of evaluation of its investment in Obligor and the exercise
of Administrative Agent’s, Collateral Agent’s or Lender’s rights and the enforcement of its remedies under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents. The obligations of confidentiality shall not apply to any information that (i) was known to the public prior
to disclosure by Obligor under this Agreement, (ii) becomes known to the public through no fault of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent
or Lender, (iii) is disclosed to Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Lender on a non-confidential basis by a third party or (iv)
is independently developed by Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent’s,
Collateral Agent’s and each Lender’s agreement of confidentiality shall not apply if Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent
or Lender has acquired indefeasible title to any Collateral or in connection with any enforcement or exercise of Administrative Agent’s,
Collateral Agent’s or Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement following an Event of Default, including the enforcement
of Collateral Agent’s and Lender’s security interest in the Collateral
52
15.
CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER.
(a)
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH OF
OBLIGOR, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, COLLATERAL AGENT AND LENDER HEREBY SUBMIT TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF the
courts of the New York sitting in New York City, New York and of THE FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN COUNTY OF NEW YORK IN THE STATE
OF NEW YORK. EACH OF OBLIGOR, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, COLLATERAL AGENT AND LENDER HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF
ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREIN, INCLUDING
CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS.
(b)
Obligor, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and each Lender hereby consent to the service of process from any venue permitted
pursuant to Section 15(a) above in any suit, claim, action, litigation or other proceeding via the mailing of copies thereof by registered
or certified mail postage prepaid to the address listed for notices in Section 11 of this Agreement. Obligor, Administrative Agent, Collateral
Agent and each Lender hereby agree that such service effected pursuant to this Section 15(b) shall be deemed effective ten (10) days after
the date of such mailing. Obligor and each Lender hereby each waive any defense it may have on the grounds of insufficient or improper
service for any service of process effected in strict accordance with this Section 15(b).
16.
Agency.
16.1
Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates, and authorizes
Administrative Agent to take any action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise
any powers and perform any duties as are expressly delegated to it, as applicable, by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
together with all powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this
Agreement or in any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent will not have any duty or responsibility except those expressly set forth
in this Agreement, nor will Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant,
and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations, or liabilities are to be read into this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or otherwise exist against Administrative Agent, as applicable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence,
the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement and in other Loan Documents with reference to Administrative Agent is not intended
to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, that
term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent
contracting parties. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for, and may rely entirely on Collateral
Agent with respect to, (a) the creation, perfection, or priority of any security interest in the Collateral, (b) the maintenance, valuation,
protection, or disposition of the Collateral, and (c) the enforcement of any rights or remedies against the Collateral.
16.2
Delegation of Duties. Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
by or through agents, employees, or attorneys-in-fact and is entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning
all matters pertaining to those duties. Administrative Agent will not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or
attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
16.3
Exculpation. None of Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, employees, and agents (a) will be liable for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions
contemplated hereby (except to the extent resulting from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties
expressly set forth in this Agreement as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction), or (b)
will be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Obligor
or any Affiliate of any Borrower, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate,
report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Administrative Agent under or in connection with,
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability, or sufficiency of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document (or the creation, perfection, or priority of any Lien or security interest therein), or for any failure of
any Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its Obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Documents.
Administrative Agent is not and will not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance
of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or to inspect the properties, books,
or records of any of the Obligors and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates.
53
16.4
Reliance. Administrative Agent may rely, and will be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature,
resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, electronic mail message, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone
message, statement, or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by
the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrower), independent accountants,
and other experts selected by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent will be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless Administrative Agent first receives all advice or concurrence of the Lenders as
it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, confirmation from the Lenders of their obligation to indemnify Administrative Agent against
any and all liability and expense which might be incurred by Administrative Agent by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
Administrative Agent will in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Lenders and each such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant
thereto will be binding upon each Lender.
16.5
Notice of Default. Administrative Agent will not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of
Default or Default except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to
this Agreement, describing that Event of Default or Default and stating that that notice is a “notice of default.” Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice.
16.6
Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that Administrative Agent has not made any representation or warranty to it, and
that no act by Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of
the Obligors, will be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Administrative Agent to any Lender as to any matter, including
whether Administrative Agent has disclosed material information in its possession. Each Lender represents to Administrative Agent that
it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent and based on documents and information as it has deemed appropriate,
made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition, and creditworthiness
of the Obligors, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower under this Agreement. Each Lender
also represents to Administrative Agent that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent and based on documents
and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals, and decisions in taking or
not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make all investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself
as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition, and creditworthiness of Borrower. Except for notices,
reports and other documents expressly required in this Agreement to be furnished to the Lenders by Administrative Agent, Administrative
Agent will not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects,
operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of any Borrower which may come into the possession of Administrative
Agent.
16.7
Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated,
each Lender shall indemnify upon demand Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, employees and agents (to the extent not reimbursed
by or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), according to its applicable Pro Rata Share, from
and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities, except that no Lender will be liable for any payment to any such Person of any portion
of the Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined by a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted from the applicable Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No action taken in accordance with the directions
of the Lenders will be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of
the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement
(whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this
Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to in this Agreement, to the extent that Administrative
Agent is not reimbursed for any such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower. The undertaking in this Section will survive repayment of the
Loans, cancellation of the Notes, any foreclosure under, or modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Collateral, termination
of this Agreement and the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent.
54
16.8
Successor Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the
Lenders. If Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent for the Lenders
reasonably acceptable to Borrower. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent under this Agreement, that successor agent
will succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent”
will mean that successor agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent will
be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation under this Agreement as Administrative Agent, the provisions
of this Section will inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under
this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring
Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation will nevertheless thereupon
become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Administrative Agent under this Agreement until such time, if any,
as the Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.
16.9
Appointment and Authorization of Collateral Agent. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates, and authorizes Collateral
Agent to hold the security interests granted under Section 4 for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, and to take any action on behalf
of the Lenders with respect to the Collateral as is expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, together with all powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Collateral Agent shall act at the direction of the
Lenders in exercising remedies and making discretionary decisions regarding the Collateral; provided that Collateral Agent shall not be
required to take any action that, in its reasonable judgment, exposes it to liability or is contrary to applicable law. Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, Collateral Agent will not have any
duty or responsibility except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, nor will Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary
relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations, or liabilities
are to be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Collateral Agent. The use of the term “agent”
in this Agreement with reference to Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations
arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, but is used merely as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect
only a relationship between independent contracting parties.
16.10
Exculpation of Collateral Agent. None of the Collateral Agent and its directors, officers, employees, and agents (a) will
be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document
or the transactions contemplated hereby (except to the extent resulting from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined
by a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction), or (b) will be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant
for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Obligor or any Affiliate of any Borrower, or any officer thereof, contained
in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or for the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability, or sufficiency of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its Obligations
under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document. Collateral Agent is not and will not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain
or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books, or records of any of the Obligors and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates, except as
expressly set forth herein with respect to the Collateral.
16.11
Indemnification of Collateral Agent. Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, each
Lender shall indemnify upon demand Collateral Agent and its directors, officers, employees and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by
or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), according to its applicable Pro Rata Share, from and
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements
of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Collateral Agent in any way relating to or
arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the Collateral, except that no Lender will be liable for any payment to any
such Person of any portion of such liabilities to the extent determined by a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction
to have resulted from the applicable Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No action taken in accordance with the
directions of the Lenders will be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. The undertaking
in this Section will survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, any foreclosure under, or modification, release or discharge
of, any or all of the Collateral, termination of this Agreement and the resignation or replacement of Collateral Agent.
55
16.12
Successor Collateral Agent. Collateral Agent may resign as Collateral Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and
Administrative Agent. If Collateral Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Lenders shall appoint a successor Collateral Agent for the
Lenders reasonably acceptable to Borrower. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Collateral Agent under this Agreement,
that successor Collateral Agent will succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the term “Collateral
Agent” will mean that successor agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Collateral Agent
will be terminated. The retiring Collateral Agent shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, execute and deliver such documents
and take such actions as the successor Collateral Agent may reasonably request to transfer all security interests in the Collateral to
the successor Collateral Agent, including the filing of any UCC financing statement amendments or assignments. After any retiring Collateral
Agent’s resignation under this Agreement as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Section 16 will inure to its benefit as to
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Collateral Agent under this Agreement. If no successor Collateral Agent has
accepted appointment as Collateral Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Collateral Agent’s notice of resignation,
the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation will nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the
duties of Collateral Agent under this Agreement until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor Collateral Agent as provided
for above.
17.
Representations and Warranties of Lenders. Each Lender (severally and not jointly) represents and warrants to the Obligors
on its own behalf only as of the date hereof:
17.1
Acquisition for Own Account. Such Lender is acquiring the Securities for its own account and not with a view towards, or
for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered under, or exempted from, the
registration requirements of the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations contained herein, such Lender does
not agree to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to assign, transfer or otherwise
dispose of any of the Securities at any time pursuant to an effective registration statement under, or an exemption from the registration
requirements of, the Securities Act.
17.2
Accredited Investor. Such Lender is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation
D under the Securities Act and has such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of its investment in the Securities.
17.3
Exemptions. Such Lender understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions
from the registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Borrower is relying in part upon
the truth and accuracy of, and such Lender’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings
of such Lender set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions. Further, such Lender understands that the Securities
issued or issuable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are characterized as “restricted securities” under the
U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Borrower in a transaction not involving a public offering and
that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may not be resold except pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act (including a registration statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement) or pursuant to an applicable
exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act.
56
18.
Guaranty.
18.1
Unconditional Guaranty. For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged,
subject to the limitation set forth below, each Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees
to each Lender and their respective successors and assigns the prompt payment of the Obligations (the “Guaranteed Obligations”)
in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise). The guaranty in this Section
18 (this “Guaranty”) is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and is a continuing guaranty and shall apply to all
of the Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other
Loan Documents, to the extent the obligations of any Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including,
without limitation, because of any applicable state, federal or other applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyances, preferences or
transfers) then the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable
law (whether federal or state or otherwise and including, without limitation, Debtor Relief Laws). Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations
under this Section 18 shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by:
(a)
the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or change in, this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any other agreement, document or instrument to which Borrower or any Guarantor is or may become a party;
(b)
the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 18) or any other Loan Document, or the
waiver or consent by Lender or Collateral Agent with respect to any of the provisions hereof or thereof;
(c)
the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect its Lien against, any security for the Obligations or any action, or
the absence of any action, by Lender or Collateral Agent in respect thereof (including the release of any such security);
(d)
the insolvency of Borrower, a Guarantor or any other Person; or
(e)
any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor,
including the maturity of any of the Obligations (whether by acceleration or otherwise).
Each Guarantor hereby expressly
waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever in its capacity as such (other than those expressly
provided for in this Agreement or any other Loan Document), and any requirement that the Collateral Agent and Lender exhaust any right,
power or remedy or proceed against the Borrower or any other Person under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other agreement
or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed
Obligations.
18.2
Waivers of Rights. Each Guarantor expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (a) notice of acceptance
of this Guaranty by Lender and of any extensions of credit to any Borrower by Lender; (b) presentment and demand for payment or performance
of any of the Obligations; (c) protest and notice of dishonor or of default (except as specifically required in this Agreement) with respect
to the Obligations or with respect to any security therefor; (d) notice of the Lenders obtaining, amending, substituting for, releasing,
waiving or modifying any security interest, Lien or encumbrance hereafter securing the Obligations, or the Lenders subordinating, compromising,
discharging or releasing such security interests, Liens or encumbrances, if any; and (e) all other notices to which such Guarantor might
otherwise be entitled in its capacity as such and any and all other defenses (other than defense of payment) or benefits that may be derived
from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties. Each Guarantor and Lender agrees that
the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that, but
for the provisions of this Section 18 and such waivers, Lender would decline to enter into this Agreement.
57
18.3
Reinstatement. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Section 18 shall be automatically reinstated if and to
the extent that for any reason any payment or satisfaction by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded
or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy
or reorganization or otherwise.
18.4
Waiver of Subrogation, Etc. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that until the payment and satisfaction in full of all Guaranteed
Obligations (other than any part of the Guaranteed Obligations that represents contingent obligations) and the occurrence of the Loan
Commitment Termination Date under this Agreement it shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by it
of its guarantee in Section 18.1, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against any other Obligor. After the indefeasible satisfaction
in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than any part of the Guaranteed Obligations that represents contingent obligations) and the
occurrence of the Loan Commitment Termination Date, such Guarantor shall be entitled to exercise against any other Obligor all such rights
of reimbursement, subrogation, contribution, indemnification and offset, and all such other claims, to the fullest extent permitted by
law.
18.5
Remedies. The Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand,
and the Lenders, on the other hand, the Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 9 and
shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 9 for purposes of Section
18.1 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the Obligations from becoming
automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or the Obligations being deemed
to have become automatically due and payable), the Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become
due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 18.1. If Lender may, under applicable law, proceed to realize its benefits
under any of the Loan Documents whether owned by Guarantor, Borrower or any other Person, either by judicial foreclosure or by non-judicial
sale or enforcement, Lender may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of
its rights and remedies under this Section 18. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, Lender shall forfeit
any of its rights or remedies (including, without limitation, its right to enter a deficiency judgment against Borrower, any Guarantor
or any other Person), whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, Guarantor hereby
consents to such action by Lender and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by Lender shall result in a full or
partial loss of any rights of subrogation that each Guarantor might otherwise have had but for such action by Lender. Any election of
remedies that results in the denial or impairment of the right of Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower or any Guarantor
shall not impair any other Guarantor’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any and all payments by
a Guarantor party hereto or under or in respect of the Guaranty granted hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction
or withholding for any Taxes except as required by applicable law. If any Guarantor party hereto is required by applicable law to deduct
or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then (i) the amount payable shall be increased so that after all such required deductions or
withholdings are made, the applicable recipient receives an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deduction or
withholding been made, (ii) Guarantor shall make such deductions or withholdings and timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to
the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (iii) Guarantor shall, promptly after any such payment, deliver
to the Lender the original or certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment.
18.6
Combined Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Guarantor shall be jointly and severally liable to the Lenders for
the Guaranteed Obligations and the Lenders may enforce the entire amount of the Guaranteed Obligations against any Guarantor.

for any reason, despite the Company’s use of its commercially reasonable efforts to include all of the Registrable Securities requested
or required to be included in any Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a)(i) (and subject to Section 3(q) below), the SEC
does not permit all such Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration Statement, or for any other reason any such Registrable
Securities are not then included in a Registration Statement, then the Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event
later than the Additional Filing Deadline, file with the SEC an additional Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or, if Form S-3 is not
then available, on such form of Registration Statement as is then available to effect a Registration of the Registrable Securities, subject
to the consent of the Investors, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) covering the resale of all Registrable Securities requested
or required to be included in such Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a)(i) and not already covered by an existing and
effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415.
(iii) Subject
to any SEC comments, any Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall include a “plan of distribution” approved
by the holders of a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration Statement. No Investor shall
be named as an “underwriter” in the Registration Statement without the Investor’s prior written consent. Each Registration
Statement (and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof) shall be provided to
(and shall be subject to the approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, of) the Investors and Legal Counsel (as defined
below) prior to its filing or other submission.

b. PIGGY-BACK REGISTRATIONS.
If at any time prior to the expiration of the Registration Period (as defined below) the Company shall determine to file with the SEC
a registration statement under the Securities Act relating (in whole or in part) to an offering of shares of Common Stock for its own
account or for the account of any other holder of its equity securities (other than securities being registered on Form S-4 or Form S-8
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 stock option or other employee benefit plans or amendments to registration statements
filed prior to the date hereof), and/or (ii) otherwise to effect an underwritten offering of any securities of the Company of a type included
in a then effective Registration Statement (other than “at the market” or “registered direct” offerings on behalf
of the Company), the Company shall send to each Investor written notice of such determination at least five (5) days prior to the anticipated
filing date of the registration statement and, if within five (5) days after the receipt of such notice, the Investor shall so request
in writing, the Company shall include in such Registration Statement and/or include in such underwritten offering, as applicable, all
or any part of such Investor’s Registrable Securities that the Investor requests to be registered and/or included in the underwritten
offering, as applicable, except that if, in connection with any underwritten offering for the account of the Company, the managing underwriter(s)
thereof shall impose a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities which may be included in such offering because, in such underwriter(s)’
judgment, marketing or other factors dictate such limitation is necessary to facilitate public distribution, then the Company shall be
obligated to include in such underwritten offering only such limited portion of the Registrable Securities with respect to which the Investor
has requested inclusion hereunder as the underwriter(s) shall permit;
provided, however, that the Company shall not exclude
any Registrable Securities unless the Company has first excluded all outstanding securities to be sold for the accounts of any holders
of the Company’s equity securities which are not entitled by contract to inclusion of such securities in an underwritten offering
or are not entitled to pro rata inclusion with the Registrable Securities; and
provided, further, however, that, after giving effect
to the immediately preceding proviso, any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata with holders of other securities
having the contractual right to include such securities in such underwritten offering. No right to registration of Registrable Securities
under this Section 2(b) shall be construed to limit any Registration required under Section 2(a) hereof. If an Investor’s Registrable
Securities are included in an underwritten offering pursuant to this Section 2(b), then such Investor shall, unless otherwise agreed by
the Company, offer and sell such Registrable Securities in such underwritten offering using the same underwriter or underwriters and,
subject to the provisions of this Agreement, on the same terms and conditions as other shares of Common Stock included in such underwritten
offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may determine at any time prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Registration
Statement not to proceed with the proposed offering, in which case the Company shall give prompt written notice to the Investors and shall
have no obligation to Register any Registrable Securities in connection with such abandoned offering (but, for the avoidance of doubt,
the Company shall not be relieved of its obligations pursuant to Section 6).
c. NOTICES. Each Investor
acknowledges and agrees that, in the event the Company would be required by the terms of this Section 2 to provide notice to such Investor
of the filing of any Registration Statement (including for purposes of an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof) in which
any Registrable Securities of any Investor are eligible to be included, the Company shall provide such notice only to counsel to such
Investor (which shall be Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP (Attn: Scott Lyons and Jonathan Weiner) or such other counsel as shall have been designated
by such Investor), unless such Investor has given prior written instructions to the contrary to the Company.
4
3. OBLIGATIONS
OF THE COMPANY. In connection with any Registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company
shall have the following obligations:
a. The Company shall prepare
promptly, and file with the SEC as soon as reasonably practicable after such registration obligation arises hereunder (but in no event
later than the applicable Filing Deadline), such Registration Statements with respect to the Registrable Securities as provided in Section
2(a), and thereafter use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such Registration Statement relating to Registrable Securities
to become effective as soon as reasonably practicable after such filing, but in any event shall use its commercially reasonable efforts
to cause each such Registration Statement relating to Registrable Securities to become effective no later than the applicable Registration
Deadline, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement current and effective pursuant to Rule
415 at all times after its effective date until such date as is the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities
included in such Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to such Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 and (ii) the date
on which all of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in the opinion of counsel to the Investors) may be
immediately sold to the public without registration or restriction (including without limitation as to volume by each holder thereof),
and without compliance with any “current public information” requirement, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, assuming
the exercise of the Warrants for cash (the “Registration Period”), which Registration Statement (including any amendments
or supplements thereto and Prospectuses contained therein or related thereto), except for information provided in writing by an Investor
pursuant to Section 4(a), shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration
of the resale of any Registrable Securities hereunder (but, for the avoidance of doubt, without in any way affecting the Company’s
obligation to Register the resale of the Registrable Securities on such other form as is available, as provided in Section 2(a)), (i)
the Company shall undertake to file, within twenty (20) days of such time as such form is available for such Registration, a post-effective
amendment to the Registration Statement then in effect, or otherwise file a Registration Statement on Form S-3, registering such Registrable
Securities on Form S-3; provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until
such time as a Registration Statement (or post-effective amendment) on Form S-3 covering such Registrable Securities has been declared
effective by the SEC, and (ii) the Company shall provide that any Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed hereunder shall incorporate
documents by reference (including by way of forward incorporation by reference) to the extent reasonably practicable. If the Company is
a “well-known seasoned issuer” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) and to the extent permitted by the rules
and regulations of the SEC applicable to the Company, at the time the Company is requested or required hereunder to file a Registration
Statement or amendment to a Registration Statement hereunder, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file the Registration
Statement or amendment as an “automatic shelf registration statement” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act).
b. The Company shall prepare
and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to each Registration Statement and the Prospectus
used in connection with each Registration Statement as may be reasonably necessary to keep each Registration Statement current and effective
at all times during the Registration Period, and, during the Registration Period, shall comply with the provisions of the Securities Act
with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by each Registration Statement until such time as
all of such Registrable Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers
thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement. In the event that on any Trading Day (as defined below) (the “Registration
Trigger Date”) the number of shares available under the Registration Statements filed pursuant to this Agreement is insufficient
to cover all of the Registrable Securities issued or issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, without giving effect to any limitations
on the Investors’ ability to exercise the Warrants and assuming the exercise thereof for cash, the Company shall amend the Registration
Statements, or file a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover the total
number of Registrable Securities so issued or issuable (without giving effect to any limitations on exercise contained therein and assuming
the exercise thereof for cash) as of the Registration Trigger Date as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within forty-five
(45) days after the Registration Trigger Date. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such amendment and/or
new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as reasonably practicable following the filing thereof, but in any event the Company
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective within sixty
(60) days of the Registration Trigger Date or as promptly as practicable in the event the Company is required to increase its authorized
shares. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is traded for any period on the NASDAQ Capital Market,
or if not the NASDAQ Capital Market, the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being
traded.
5
c. The Company shall furnish
to each Investor and Legal Counsel (i) promptly after the same is prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC or received by
the Company, one copy of each Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, each preliminary Prospectus and Prospectus and each amendment
or supplement thereto, and, each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC, and each item of correspondence
from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in each case relating to such Registration Statement (other than any portion thereof which contains
information for which the Company has sought or intends to seek confidential treatment, which contains or reflects any material non-public
information with respect to the Company), and (ii) upon reasonable request, such number of copies of a Prospectus, including a preliminary
Prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto and such other documents as an Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate
the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor; provided that the Company may provide any such copies in electronic
form only. The Company will promptly notify each of the Investors by electronic mail of the effectiveness of each Registration Statement
or any post-effective amendment thereto. The Company will promptly respond to any and all comments received from the SEC with respect
to any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, with a view towards causing each Registration Statement or any amendment
thereto to become effective (to the extent required, by declaration or ordering of effectiveness, of such Registration Statement or amendment
by the SEC) as soon as reasonably practicable, and, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than three (3) Business Days,
following the resolution or clearance of all SEC comments or, if applicable, following notification by the SEC that any such Registration
Statement or any amendment thereto will not be subject to review, shall file a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration
Statement (to the extent required for such Registration Statement or amendment to become effective, by declaration or ordering of effectiveness,
of such Registration Statement or amendment by the SEC) to a time and date not later than two (2) Business Days after the submission of
such request. No later than the first Business Day after the Registration Statement becomes effective, the Company shall file with the
SEC the final Prospectus included in the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 424 (or successor thereto) under the Securities Act.
d. The Company shall use
its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register and qualify, in any jurisdiction where registration and/or qualification is required,
the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statements under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions
in the United States as the Investors shall reasonably request, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions such amendments (including
post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be reasonably necessary to maintain the effectiveness
thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to maintain such registrations and
qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable
to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; except that in no event shall the Company be required to qualify
to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it would not, but for the requirements of this paragraph (d), be required
to be so qualified, to subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction,
except where the Company is then already required to be so qualified, already subject to taxation or required to consent to general service
of process.
e. As promptly as practicable
after becoming aware of such event, the Company shall notify each Investor that holds Registrable Securities of the happening of any event,
of which the Company has knowledge, as a result of which the Prospectus included in any Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes
an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, and, subject to Section 3(r), shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly prepare a supplement or
amendment to any Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver such number of copies of such supplement
or amendment to each Investor as such Investor may reasonably request.
f. The Company shall use
its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of any Registration
Statement and, if such an order is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order as promptly as reasonably practicable and to notify
each Investor that holds Registrable Securities (and, in the event of an underwritten offering, the managing underwriters) of the issuance
of such order and the resolution thereof, in each case as promptly as reasonably practicable.
g. The Company shall permit
one outside legal counsel designated by the Investors (which shall be Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP (Attn: Scott Lyons and Jonathan Weiner)
or such other counsel as shall have been designated by the Investors) (“Legal Counsel”) to review such Registration Statement
and all amendments and supplements thereto (as well as all requests for acceleration or effectiveness thereof but excluding the Company’s
filings under the Exchange Act), a reasonable period of time prior to their filing with the SEC (not less than two (2) but not more than
ten (10) Business Days prior to such filing) and not file any documents in a form to which Legal Counsel reasonably objects and will not
request acceleration of such Registration Statement without prior notice to Legal Counsel.
6
h. The Company shall hold
in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning an Investor provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such
information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid
or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena
or other order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available
to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning
that disclosure of such information concerning any Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction
or through other means, give prompt notice to such Investor prior to making such disclosure, and allow such Investor, at its expense,
to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.
i. The Company shall use
its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement to be listed on each
securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed.
j. The Company shall provide
a transfer agent and registrar, which may be a single entity, for the Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of the
initial Registration Statement.
k. The Company shall cooperate
with each Investor that holds Registrable Securities being offered and the managing underwriter or underwriters with respect to an applicable
Registration Statement, if any, to facilitate the timely (i) preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends)
representing Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to such Registration Statement, and enable such certificates to be registered
in such names and in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, or (ii) crediting of the Registrable Securities to be offered
pursuant to a Registration Statement to the applicable account (or accounts) with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian (DWAC)
system, in any such case as such Investor or the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, may reasonably request. Within five (5)
Business Days after a Registration Statement which includes Registrable Securities becomes effective, the Company shall deliver, and,
if required by the transfer agent, shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for the Registrable
Securities (with copies to each Investor) an appropriate instruction and an opinion of such counsel in the form required by the transfer
agent in order to issue or transfer (as applicable) the Registrable Securities free of restrictive legends.
l. At the reasonable written
request of Investors holding a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such
amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and any Prospectus used in connection with
the Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to change the plan of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement, in
each case as promptly as is reasonably practicable.
m. The Company shall not,
and shall not agree to, allow the holders of any Common Stock or other securities of the Company to include any of their securities (other
than Registrable Securities) in any Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) or any amendment or supplement thereto under
Section 3(b) hereof without the consent of Investors holding a majority-in-interest of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. In
addition, the Company shall not include any securities for its own account or the account of others in any Registration Statement filed
pursuant to Section 2(a) or any amendment or supplement thereto filed pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof without the consent of Investors
holding a majority-in-interest of the then outstanding Registrable Securities.
n. The Company shall comply
with all applicable laws related to a Registration Statement and offering and sale of securities and all applicable rules and regulations
of governmental authorities in connection therewith (including the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
by the SEC).
o. If required by the FINRA
Corporate Financing Department, the Company shall promptly effect a filing with FINRA pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110 (or successor thereto)
with respect to the public offering contemplated by resales of securities under the Registration Statement (an “Issuer Filing”),
and pay the filing fee required by such Issuer Filing. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to pursue the Issuer
Filing until FINRA issues a letter confirming that it does not object to the terms of the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement.
7
p. If at any time the SEC
advises the Company in writing that the offering of some or all of the Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement is not eligible
to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the Company shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to persuade the SEC that the offering contemplated by a Registration Statement is a bona fide secondary offering and
not an offering “by or on behalf of the issuer” as defined in Rule 415 and that none of the Investors is an “underwriter.”
The Investors shall have the right to participate or have their respective legal counsel participate in any meetings or discussions with
the SEC regarding the SEC’s position and to comment or have their respective counsel comment on any written submission made to the
SEC with respect thereto. No such written submission shall be made to the SEC to which any Investor’s counsel reasonably objects.
In the event that, despite the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts and compliance with the terms of this Section 3(p), the
SEC refuses to alter its position, the Company shall remove from the Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Securities
as the SEC requires in writing be removed therefrom. Any such cut-back imposed by the SEC as contemplated by this Section 3(p) shall be
imposed on a pro rata basis (based upon the Registrable Securities held by each of the Investors).
q. Subject to the limitations
contained herein, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other reasonable actions arising out of its obligations
under this Agreement and necessary to facilitate the disposition by the Investors of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration
Statement.
r. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in Section 3(e), at any time after the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement, the Company may suspend
the use of any Prospectus to the extent such suspension is necessary to delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning
the Company the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company and its counsel,
in the best interest of the Company and not, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, otherwise required (a “Grace Period”);
provided, that the Company shall (i) promptly notify the Investors in writing of the existence of material non-public information giving
rise to a Grace Period (provided that in each notice the Company shall not disclose the content of such material non-public information
to any Investor unless otherwise requested in writing by such Investor) and the date on which the Grace Period will begin, and (ii) as
soon as such date may be determined, promptly notify the Investors in writing of the date on which the Grace Period ends; and, provided,
further, that (A) no Grace Period shall exceed forty-five (45) consecutive calendar days, (B) during any three hundred sixty five (365)
day period, such Grace Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of seventy-five (75) calendar days, and (C) the first day of any Grace Period
must be at least ten (10) days after the last day of any prior Grace Period (each Grace Period that satisfies all of the requirements
of this Section 3(r) being referred to as an “Allowable Grace Period”). For purposes of determining the length of a Grace
Period above, the Grace Period shall begin on and include the date the Investors receive the notice referred to in clause (i) and shall
end on and include the later of the date the Investors receive the notice referred to in clause (ii) and the date referred to in such
notice. The provisions of Section 3(e) hereof shall not be applicable during the period of any Allowable Grace Period, and the unavailability
of a Registration Statement for resales of the Registrable Securities on any day during an Allowable Grace Period shall not constitute
a “Registration Failure.” Upon expiration of the Grace Period, the Company shall again be bound by the first sentence of Section
3(e) with respect to the information giving rise thereto unless such material non-public information is no longer applicable.
s. The Company shall not
grant any Person any registration rights with respect to shares of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company other than registration
rights that will not materially and adversely affect the rights of the Investors hereunder (including by materially limiting the number
of Registrable Securities that could be included in any Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 415) and shall not otherwise enter into
any agreement that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Investors hereunder.
t. At all times during the
Registration Period, (a) the Common Stock shall be eligible for clearing through DTC, through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian (DWAC)
system; (b) the Company shall be eligible and participating in the Direct Registration System (DRS) of DTC with respect to the Common
Stock; (c) the transfer agent for the Common Stock is a participant in, and the Common Stock shall be eligible for transfer pursuant to,
DTC’s Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (or successor thereto); and (d) the Company shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause the Common Stock to not at any time be subject to any DTC “chill,” “freeze” or similar restriction
with respect to any DTC services, including the clearing of shares of Common Stock through DTC, and, in the event the Common Stock becomes
subject to any DTC “chill,” “freeze” or similar restriction with respect to any DTC services, the Company shall
use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such “chill,” “freeze” or similar restriction to be removed
at the earliest possible time.
8
u. The Company acknowledges
and agrees that the undertaking set forth in Section 4(e) of this Agreement constitutes the “Undertaking” (as defined in the
Warrants) of each Investor that holds a Warrant and that no additional Undertaking by or on behalf of any such Investor shall be required
to satisfy clause (A) of the definition of “Unrestricted Conditions” under the Warrants.
4. OBLIGATIONS
OF THE INVESTOR. In connection with the Registration of the Registrable Securities, each Investor shall
have the following obligations:
a. It shall be a condition
precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the Registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities
of an Investor that such Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it
and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the Registration
of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents and questionnaires in connection with such registration as the Company
may reasonably request. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement, the Company
shall notify each Investor of the information the Company requires from such Investor. Any such information shall not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading.
b. Each Investor, by such
Investor’s acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company
in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company in
writing of such Investor’s election to exclude all of the Investor’s Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Investor fails to provide information or documents reasonably requested by the
Company pursuant to this Section 4 within four (4) Trading Days of the Company’s written request therefor, the Company’s obligations
under this Agreement with respect to such Investor’s Registrable Securities shall be tolled until such information or documents
are provided, and any delay resulting from such Investor’s failure to timely provide such information or documents shall not constitute
a Registration Failure with respect to such Investor’s Registrable Securities.
c. In the event of an underwritten
offering pursuant to Section 2(b) in which any Registrable Securities of any Investor are to be included, such Investor agrees to enter
into and perform the Investor’s obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, including customary indemnification
and contribution obligations (as applicable to selling security holders generally), with the managing underwriter of such offering and
take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Investor; provided, that
no Investor including Registrable Securities in any underwritten offering shall be required to make any representations or warranties
to the Company or the underwriters other than representations and warranties regarding such Investor, such Investor’s ownership
of its Registrable Securities to be sold in the offering and such Investor’s intended method of distribution or to undertake any
indemnification obligations to the Company or the underwriters with respect thereto except to the extent expressly set forth in Section
7 hereof.
d. Each Investor agrees that,
upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(e) or 3(f), such Investor
will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities
until such Investor’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 3(e) or 3(f); provided,
however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit or require the Investor to discontinue the settlement of any sale of Registrable Securities
with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s receipt of a notice from the Company
of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(e) or 3(f).
e. Each Investor that holds
a Warrant undertakes that it will only sell Shares issued without a restrictive legend and without being subject to stop transfer or similar
instructions (or with respect to which a restrictive legend or such instruction has been removed) pursuant to clause (A) of the definition
of “Unrestricted Conditions” (as such term is defined in the Warrants) pursuant to an effective Registration Statement or
Rule 144 under the Securities Act and, if the Shares are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with
the plan of distribution set forth therein. The Company and its counsel and transfer agent shall be entitled to rely on the foregoing
undertakings in issuing instructions letters and opinions.
9
5. Registration
Failure. If a Registration Failure occurs, then, in addition to all other available remedies
that the Investors may pursue hereunder or under any other document or agreement to which it is a party, including the Transaction Documents
(as defined below), the Company shall pay additional damages (the “Failure Payment”) to each Investor for each 30-day period
(prorated for any partial period) after the date of such Registration Failure in an amount in cash equal to one percent (1.00%) of an
amount equal to the product of (y) the number of Registrable Securities held by such Investor, multiplied by (z) the fair market value
(as defined in the Warrants), in each case, as of the date such Registration Failure occurs. Such payments shall accrue until the earlier
of (i) such time as the Registration Failure has been cured and (ii) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities may be disposed
of for the Holder’s own account without restriction under Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions and without
need for the availability of “current public information” under Rule 144, and assuming the exercise of the Warrants for cash).
Each Investor shall be entitled to its pro rata portion of any such payments based upon the number of Registrable Securities held by such
Investor included, or to be included, as applicable, relative to the total number of Registrable Securities included, or to be included,
as applicable, in the Registration Statement giving rise to such payment. Notwithstanding anything express or implied to the contrary
in the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, (1) no Failure Payment shall accrue or be payable with respect to any period after the
expiration of the applicable Registration Period and, (2) no Failure Payment shall accrue or be payable with respect to any period that
a Registration Statement is unavailable for resales of Registrable Securities solely due to a breach by an Investor that holds any such
Registrable Securities of its obligations under Section 4 hereof.
6. EXPENSES
OF REGISTRATION. All reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, incurred
in connection with Registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including all registration, listing and qualification
fees, printers and accounting fees, and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be borne by the Company. The Company
shall also reimburse the Investors for the reasonable fees and disbursements of Legal Counsel in the aggregate amount of up to $25,000
per Registration in connection with Registrations pursuant to Section 2 or 3 of this Agreement.
7. INDEMNIFICATION.
In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:
a. The Company will indemnify,
hold harmless and defend (i) each Investor, (ii) the directors, officers, partners, managers, members, employees and agents of each Investor,
and each Person who controls any Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, if any, (iii) any underwriter
(as defined in the Securities Act) for each Investor in connection with an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, and
(iv) the directors, officers, partners and employees of, and each Person who controls, any such underwriter within the meaning of the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act, if any (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any joint or several losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses (collectively, together with actions, proceedings or inquiries by any regulatory or self-regulatory organization,
whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof, “Claims”) to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims
arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in any Registration Statement,
or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any filing made under state securities laws as required hereby, or the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or the omission
or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which the statements therein were made, not misleading; or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities
Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or
sale of the Registrable Securities (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, “Violations”).
The Company shall reimburse the Indemnified Person, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable
and documented legal fees and other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 7(a) shall not apply
to a Claim arising out of or based upon a Violation to the extent that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information
furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of
such Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or to any amounts paid in settlement
of any Claim effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or
to any Claim to the extent arising from an Indemnified Person’s (x) use of a Prospectus after the Company has notified the Investors
in writing that it is outdated or unavailable or of an event described in Section 3(e), 3(f) or a Grace Period under Section 3(r), (y)
failure to deliver a current Prospectus required under the Securities Act, or (z) failure to discontinue sales in violation of Section
4(d) (collectively, “Investor Fault Matters”). Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by any of the Investors pursuant
to Section 10.
10
b. Promptly after receipt
by an Indemnified Person under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified
Person shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Section 7, deliver to the Company a written notice
of the commencement thereof, and the Company shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the Company so desires, to assume
control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the Company and the Indemnified Person, as the case may be;
provided, however, that an Indemnified Person shall have
the right to retain its own counsel with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the Company, if, in the reasonable opinion of
counsel for such Indemnified Person, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person and the Company would be inappropriate
due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such
proceeding. The Company shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for the Indemnified Persons, and such legal counsel shall be selected
by the Investors. The failure to deliver written notice to the Company within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action
shall not relieve the Company of any liability to the Indemnified Person under this Section 7, except to the extent that the Company is
actually prejudiced by such failure in its ability to defend such action, and shall not relieve the Company of any liability to the Indemnified
Person otherwise than pursuant to this Section 7. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Persons,
consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise with respect to any Claim in respect of which indemnification
or contribution may be or has been sought hereunder (whether or not any such Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such
action or claim) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Persons
of a full release from all liability with respect to such Claim or which includes any admission as to fault or culpability on the part
of any Indemnified Person. The indemnification required by this Section 7 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during
the course of the investigation or defense, as any expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred.
c. Each Investor will indemnify,
hold harmless and defend (i) the Company, and (ii) the directors, officers, partners, managers, members, employees and agents
of the Company, if any (each, a “Company Indemnified Person”), against any Claims to which any of them may become subject
insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange
Act, any other law, including any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable
Securities, which occurs due to the inclusion by the Company in a Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement
thereto, of false or misleading information about an Investor, where such information was furnished in writing to the Company by or on
behalf of such Investor expressly for the purpose of inclusion in such Registration Statement or Prospectus. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7(c) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any
Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Investors, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed; and provided, further, however, that an Investor shall be liable under this Section 7(c) for only that amount of
a Claim as does not exceed the net amount of proceeds received by such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant
to such Registration Statement.
d. Promptly after receipt
by a Company Indemnified Person under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action),
such Company Indemnified Person shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any Investor under this Section 7, deliver
to such Investor a written notice of the commencement thereof, and such Investor shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent
such Investor so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to such Investor and such Company
Indemnified Person.
8. CONTRIBUTION.
If for any reason the indemnification provided for in Section 7(a) or 7(c) (as applicable) is unavailable
to an Indemnified Person or Company Indemnified Person (as applicable) or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified
therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Person or Company Indemnified Person
(as applicable) as a result of the Claim in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Person
or Company Indemnified Person (as applicable) and the indemnifying party (provided that the relative fault of any Company Indemnified
Person shall be deemed to include the fault of all other Company Indemnified Persons), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution
from any Person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the aggregate liability of an Investor under this Section
8, together with any amounts payable by such Investor under Section 7(c), exceed the net amount of proceeds received by such Investor
from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such obligation pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement.
11
9. REPORTS
UNDER THE 1934 ACT. With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated
under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities
of the Company to the public without registration, the Company agrees to:
a. make and keep public information
available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
b. file with the SEC in a
timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to
such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and
c. so long as any of the
Investors owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, furnish to such Investor (i) a written statement by the Company that it
has complied with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act as required for applicable provisions of Rule 144, (ii) a copy of
the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company and (iii) such
other information as may be reasonably requested to permit such Investor to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144
without registration.
10. ASSIGNMENT
OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by each Investor
to any transferee of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities if: (i) such Investor agrees in writing with the transferee
or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment,
(ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name
and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred
or assigned, and (iii) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated in clause (ii) of this sentence, the transferee
or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein as applicable to an Investor. In
the event that the Company receives written notice from an Investor that it has transferred all or any portion of its Registrable Securities
pursuant to this Section 10, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, within fifteen (15) calendar days, to file any
amendments or supplements necessary to keep a Registration Statement current, effective and available for the resale of all of the Registrable
Securities pursuant to Rule 415, and the unavailability of a Registration Statement for the resale of such Registrable Securities by such
transferee shall not constitute a Registration Failure during such fifteen (15) calendar day period. The Company shall not assign this
Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority-in-interest of the then-outstanding
Registrable Securities; provided, however, that no such consent shall be required in connection with any merger, consolidation, reorganization
or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to or with an independent third party, so long as the successor or acquiring
entity assumes the Company’s obligations hereunder.
11. AMENDMENT
OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be
waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with written consent of the Company
and the holders of a majority in interest of then-outstanding Registrable Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with
this Section 11 shall be binding upon each of the Investors and the Company.
12. MISCELLANEOUS.
a. A Person is deemed to
hold, and be a holder of, shares of Common Stock or other Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns of record or beneficially through
a “street name” holder such shares of Common Stock or other Registrable Securities (or the Warrants or other securities upon
exercise, conversion or exchange of which such Registrable Securities are directly or indirectly issuable, without giving effect to any
limitations on exercise of the Warrants or other securities), and solely for purposes hereof, Registrable Securities shall be deemed outstanding
to the extent they are directly or indirectly issuable upon exercise of the Warrants or other outstanding securities, Registrable Securities,
without giving effect to any limits on exercise, conversion or exchange of the Warrants or other securities. If the Company receives conflicting
instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon
the basis of instructions, notice or election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities (or the Warrants or other
securities upon exercise, conversion or exchange of which such Registrable Securities are directly or indirectly issuable).
12
b. Any notices required or
permitted to be given under the terms hereof shall be delivered personally or by courier (including a recognized overnight delivery service)

Each party shall provide notice to the other party of any change in
address.
c. Failure of any party to
exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate
as a waiver thereof.
d. Governing Law. All questions
concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced
in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party
agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
(whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be
commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan (and, in each case, the applicable
state and federal appeals courts sitting in the City of New York or, if not available or applicable, the State of New York). Each party
hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan
for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein,
and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject
to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding.
Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding
by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address
in effect for 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 other manner permitted
by law. The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any
provision of this Agreement, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable
attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.
e. This Agreement, the Loan
Agreement, the Warrants and the instruments referenced herein and therein, including the Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement)
(collectively, the “Transaction Documents”), constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter hereof and thereof. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including all schedules and exhibits hereto and
thereto) supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
f. Subject to the requirements
of Section 10 hereof, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each
of the parties hereto, and the provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, each Indemnified
Person and Company Indemnified Person (as applicable).
g. The headings in this Agreement
are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
14
h. This Agreement and any
amendments hereto may be executed and delivered in two or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts,
each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement,
and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party hereto and delivered to the other parties hereto, it being
understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature to this Agreement or any amendment hereto
is delivered by facsimile transmission, by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file or by other electronic means, such
signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the
same force and effect as if such facsimile, “.pdf” or other electronic signature page were an original thereof. No party hereto
shall raise the use of a facsimile machine, e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file or other electronic means to deliver
a signature to this Agreement or any amendment hereto or the fact that such signature was transmitted or communicated through the use
of a facsimile machine, e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file or other electronic means as a defense to the formation
or enforceability of a contract, and each party hereto forever waives any such defense.
i. The Company 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 the Investors 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.
j. The Company acknowledges
that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Investors by vitiating the intent and purpose of the
transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for breach of its obligations hereunder
will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of any of the provisions hereunder, that the
Investors shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies in law or in equity, to an injunction or injunctions to prevent
or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the necessity
of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
k. The language used in this
Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will
be applied against any party.
l. In the event that any
provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed
inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any
provision hereof which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision
hereof.
m. In the event an Investor
shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder’s Registrable Securities, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion
of the number of Registrable Securities included in a Registration Statement for such transferor.
n. There shall be no oral
modifications or amendments to this Agreement. This Agreement may be modified or amended only in writing.
o. The obligations of each
Investor hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no provision of this Agreement (or any other
Transaction Document) is intended to confer any obligations on any Investor vis-à-vis any other Investor. Nothing contained herein
(or in any Transaction Document), and no action taken by any Investor pursuant hereto (or thereto), shall be deemed to constitute the
Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are
in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated herein (or therein).
15
p. Unless the context otherwise
requires, (i) all references to Sections, Schedules or Exhibits are to Sections, Schedules or Exhibits contained in or attached to this
Agreement, (ii) words in the singular or plural include the singular and plural, and pronouns stated in either the masculine, the feminine
or neuter gender shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter, and (iii) the use of the word “including” in this Agreement
shall be by way of example rather than limitation.
