Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive
Agreement.
Securities Purchase Agreement
On June 30, 2026, Big Digital
Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Six
Thirty AI, LLC (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the Purchaser an aggregate of 16,700 shares
of newly designated Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, with a stated value of $1,000 per share (“Series
D Preferred Stock”), at a purchase price of $900.00 per share, for gross proceeds to the Company of $15.03 million, before deducting
placement agent fees and other offering expenses. The Series D Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company,
par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock,” and such shares of Common Stock as so converted, the “Conversion Shares”),
as described below under “Series D Preferred Stock.” Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company also issued to the Purchaser
a warrant (the “Warrant”) exercisable for five years to purchase 926,748 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”)
at an exercise price of $10.81, which is 120% of the closing price of the Common Stock immediately before closing, subject to adjustment
upon the occurrence of any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination or similar transaction.
The offer and sale of the foregoing
securities was made to the Purchaser in reliance on the exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company relied on representations from the Purchaser that it is an “accredited
investor” (defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act), acquiring securities for investment only
without a view to distribution. The offering was conducted without general solicitation or advertising, with restrictions on resale absent
registration or an exemption.
The Purchaser is controlled
by Josh Kilgore, Phil Stanley, and Cody Smith, who are, respectively, the Executive Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Operating
Officer of the Company. A Special Transactions Committee of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) comprised
solely of disinterested directors, together with the Audit Committee of the Board, reviewed and approved the Purchase Agreement and related
agreements.
The transaction documents prohibit
the Company from issuing any Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares to the extent such issuances would violate applicable rules and regulations
of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). The Company has agreed to include in the proxy statement for its next annual meeting
of stockholders, which the Company has agreed to hold no later than November 14, 2026, a proposal to obtain requisite approvals of its
stockholders to permit issuances of Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares in excess of any restrictions currently imposed by applicable
rules and regulations of Nasdaq.
The Purchase Agreement contains
customary representations, warranties and covenants for similar transactions. The representations and warranties were made only for purposes
of the Purchase Agreement and as of specific dates; were solely for the benefit of the parties thereto; and may be subject to limitations
agreed by the parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosure schedules. Investors should not rely on the representations
and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances of the Company or any other person.
The Company retained Northland
Securities, Inc. (the “Placement Agent”) as exclusive placement agent for the transaction and paid the Placement Agent a cash
fee of 6.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock, together with customary expense reimbursements.
1
Letter Agreement
The Purchaser acquired the
Series D Preferred Stock using borrowed funds. Concurrently with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a letter
agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with the Purchaser and the administrative and collateral agent for the lenders (the “Agent”),
pursuant to which the Company consented to (i) the Purchaser’s pledge of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock to the Agent for
the ratable benefit of the lenders; (ii) the Purchaser’s assignment of the Warrant to the lenders as a commitment fee under the
loan facility; and (iii) the lenders’ right to exchange all or any portion of the outstanding obligations under the loan and guaranty
agreement for shares of the Series D Preferred Stock and settlement using the Series D Preferred Stock or Conversion Shares.
Registration Rights Agreement
Concurrently with the execution
of the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”),
pursuant to which the Company is obligated to file and maintain the effectiveness of one or more resale registration statements with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) registering the resale of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares on a continuous
basis under Rule 415 of the Securities Act. The Company is required to file the initial registration statement for such purposes no later
than July 20, 2026, and to have such registration statement declared effective by the SEC no later than August 29, 2026 (or in the event
of a “full review” by the SEC, no later than September 28, 2026).
Series D Preferred Stock
On June 30, 2026, the Company
filed a Certificate of Designations (the “Certificate of Designations”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware,
establishing the voting and other relative rights, powers and preferences of the Series D Preferred Stock. The Certificate of Designations
became effective upon filing and authorizes the issuance of up to 100,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock.
General. Each share
of Series D Preferred Stock has an initial stated value of $1,000 per share, which is subject to proportional adjustment upon the occurrence
of any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination or similar transaction, and is fully paid and non-assessable.
Ranking. The Series
D Preferred Stock, with respect to the payment of dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding
up of the Company, ranks senior to all other classes or series of the Company’s capital stock, unless specified required holders
consent to the creation of other capital stock that is senior or equal in rank to the Series D Preferred Stock.
Dividends. Dividends
accrue on the Series D Preferred Stock from the date of issuance at a rate of 5% per annum, which increases to 18% per annum during the
pendency of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), and are payable quarterly in arrears through the issuance
of additional shares of Series D Preferred Stock (i.e., PIK shares) or, at the Company’s election, in cash.
Conversion at the Option
of the Holders. Each holder of Series D Preferred Stock may convert all, or any part, of its shares of Series D Preferred Stock, at
any time on or after August 30, 2026, into Conversion Shares at a conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) equal to 95% of
the lowest daily volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock over the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion
date, subject to a floor price of $1.80 and certain limitations on conversion as described below.
Adjustments to the Conversion
Price. The Conversion Price is subject to proportional adjustment upon the occurrence of any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination
or similar transactions.
Beneficial Ownership Limitation.
The Company may not effect the conversion of any shares of Series D Preferred Stock to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion,
the applicable holder, together with any person whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would or could be aggregated with such holder’s
for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), collectively would
beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after
giving effect to such conversion (provided that such limitation shall not apply to any holder whose beneficial ownership exceeds the
Maximum Percentage on the date such holder acquires Series D Preferred Stock).
2
Monthly Conversion Limitation.
In addition, the Company may not effect the conversion of any shares of Series D Preferred Stock to the extent that, after giving effect
to such conversion, the aggregate stated value of shares of Series D Preferred Stock that has been converted into shares of Common Stock
during the calendar month in which such conversion occurred exceeds the greater of (a) 10% of aggregate dollar trading volume during the
month or (b) $2,000,000 (provided that such limitation shall not apply during the pendency of a Triggering Event).
Limitation on Conversions
for Purposes of Listing Rules. The Company may not effect the conversion of any shares of Series D Preferred Stock to the extent the
issuance of such Conversion Shares would violate applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq, as described above under “Securities
Purchase Agreement.”
Voting Rights. The Series
D Preferred Stock is non-voting, except as required by applicable law or as expressly set forth in the Certificate of Designations.
Transfer Restrictions.
Consent of the Board is required to transfer shares of Series D Preferred Stock, except in certain limited situations, including as described
below under “Letter Agreement.”
Company Optional Redemption.
The Company may redeem the Series D Preferred Stock at any time, in whole or in part, at a cash price equal to 105% of the aggregate Conversion
Price for the Series D Preferred Stock being redeemed, subject to customary conditions as set forth in the Certificate of Designations,
including a 12–60 trading day notice window and the absence of any Equity Condition (as defined in the Certificate of Designations).
Fundamental Transactions.
The Certificate of Designations prohibits the Company from entering into specified “Fundamental Transactions,” which include,
without limitation, mergers, business combinations and similar transactions, unless the Company (or the successor entity) assumes in writing
all of the Company’s obligations under the Certificate of Designations and the other transaction documents, provided that any such
successor entity shall be a publicly traded corporation listed on an eligible trading market. The Company may alternatively exercise its
optional redemption right in full in connection with a Fundamental Transaction.
Covenants. Among other
negative covenants, and subject to customary exceptions, so long as the Series D Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company will not,
and will cause its subsidiaries not to, (i) redeem, repurchase or declare or pay any cash dividend or distribution on any of its capital
stock; (ii) incur indebtedness or create liens, except for customary permitted indebtedness and permitted liens; or (iii) enter into any
variable rate transaction.

(b) Conversion Rate. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Preferred Share pursuant to Section 4(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) the Conversion Amount of such Preferred Share by (y) the Conversion Price (the "Conversion Rate") : (i) "Conversion Amount" means, with respect to each Preferred Share, as of the applicable date of determination, the sum of (A) the Stated Value thereof plus (B) any Additional Amount thereon as of such date of determination . (ii) "Conversion Price" means, with respect to each Preferred Share, as of any Conversion Date or other date of determination, 95 % of the lowest daily VWAP of the Common Stock during the five ( 5 ) consecutive Trading Day period immediately preceding but not including the Conversion Date, provided that the Conversion Price shall not be lower than the Floor Price and subject to adjustment as provided herein .

S . GAAP to result in a Derivative Liability in excess of $ 2 , 000 , 000 , or would cause the Company to breach the Stockholders' Equity Requirement, then the Floor Price shall, effective as of the date of such written confirmation and without further action by the Company or any Holder, be increased solely to the lowest price that such independent registered public accounting firm confirms in writing would (A) limit such Derivative Liability to not more than $ 2 , 000 , 000 and (B) cause the Company to satisfy shareholder's equity maintenance requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market . Any such written confirmation shall include reasonably detailed supporting calculations , shall be delivered to each Holder promptly and in any event within one ( 1 ) Business Day after receipt by the Company, and shall be conclusive absent manifest error .

In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to a Holder in connection with a conversion of Preferred Stock, the Company shall issue to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 25 . (d) Limitation on Beneficial Ownership . The Company shall not effect the conversion of any of the Preferred Stock held by a Holder, and such Holder shall not have the right to convert any of the Preferred Stock held by such Holder pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Certificate of Designations, and any such conversion shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, such Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4 . 99 % (the "Maximum Percentage") of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion . For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
8 4934 - 3 510 - 8025 \ 7 beneficially owned by such Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall includ e the number of shares of Common Stock held by such Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuabl e upon conversion of the Preferred Stock with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, bu t shall exclud e shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or any of the other Attribution Partie s and (B) exercis e or conversion of the unexercised ornonconverted portion of any other securitie s of the Company (including, withou t limitation, any convertible notes, convertibl e Preferred Stock or warrants, including the Preferred Stock) beneficially owned by such Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 4 (d) . For purposes of this Section 4 (d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13 (d) of the 1934 Act . In addition, a determination a s to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordanc e with Section 13 (d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder . For purposes of detennining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock a Holder may acquire upon the conversion of such Preferred Stock without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, such Holder may rely on the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as reflected in (x) the Company's mos t recent Annual Repor t on For m 10 - K, Curren t Repor t on Form 8 - K or other public filing with the SEC, as the cas e may be,(y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent, if any, setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the "Reported Outstanding Share Number") . If the Company receive s a Conversion Notic e from a Holder a t a time when the actual number of shares of Common Stock outstanding is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall notify such Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Conversion Notice would otherwise cause such Holder's beneficia l ownership, as determined pursuan t to this Section 4 (d), to exceed the Maximu m Percentage, such Holder mus t notify the Company of a reduced number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased pursuan t to such Conversion Notice . For any reason at any time, upon the written or ora] request of any Holder, the Company shall within two( 2 ) Busines s Day s confinn in writing or by electroni c mai l to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding . In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securitie s of the Company, including such Preferred Stock, by such Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported . In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to a Holder upon conversion of such Preferred Stock results in such Holder and the other Attribution Partie s being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as detennined under Section 13 (d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so issued by which such Holder's and the other Attribution Parties' aggregate beneficial ownership exceed s the Maximu m Percentag e (the "Excess Shares") shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and such Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares . For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable to a Holder pursuan t to the tenns of this Certificat e of Designation s in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially
4934 - 3 510 - 8025 \ 7 owned bysuch Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13 (d) or Rule 16 a - l(a)(l) of the 1934 Act . No prior inability to convert such Preferred Stock pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility . The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4 (d) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph (or any portion of this paragraph) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 4 (d) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation . The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived or eliminated (except by an amendment to this Certificate of Designations) and shall apply to a successor holder of such Preferred Stock .

For the avoidance of doubt, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Triggering Event the limitations set forth in this Section 4 (e) shall have no force and effect . (t) Principal Market Regulation . The Company shall not issue any shares of Common Stock uponconversion of any Preferred Shares or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock together with the number of shares issued under that certain Warrant would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon conversion of the Preferred Shares without breaching the Company's obligations under the listing rules of the Principal Market (the number of shares which may be issued without violating such rules, including rules related to the aggregate offerings under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635 (d) and NYSE Listed Company Manual Section 312 . 03 (c), as applicable, the "Exchange Cap"), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company (A) obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable listing rules of the Principal Market for issuances of shares of Common Stock in excess of such amount or (B) obtains a written opinion from outside counsel to the Company that such approval is not required, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders . Until such approval or such written opinion is obtained, no Holder shall be issued in the aggregate, upon conversion of any Preferred Shares, shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of (i) the Exchange Cap as of the Initial Issuance Date multiplied by (ii) the quotient of ( 1 ) the aggregate number of Preferred Shares issued to such Holder on the Initial Issuance Date divided by ( 2 ) the aggregate number of Preferred Shares issued to the Holders on the Initial Issuance Date (with respect to each Holder, the "Exchange Cap Allocation") . In the event that any Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holder's Preferred Shares, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion 9
4934 - 3 510 - 8025 \ 7 of such Holder's Exchange Cap Allocation with respect to such portion of such Preferred Shares so transferred, and the restrictions of the priorsentence shall applyto suchtransferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap Allocation so allocated to such transferee . Upon conversion in full of a Holder's Preferred Shares, the difference (if any) between such Holder's Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued to such Holder upon such Holder's conversion in full of such Preferred Shares shall be allocated to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining Holders of Preferred Shares on a pro rata basis in proportion to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Preferred Shares then held by eachsuch Holder of Preferred Shares . 5.

(a) Subject to the terms and

provided, at any time on any Business Day on or after the opening of business on such Business Day, (i) commencing with the first day
after the date hereof, and prior to 11:59 P.M. Eastern Time on the Expiration Date, by delivery of a written notice, in the form of the
subscription notice attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Exercise Notice”), of such holder’s election to
exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased, payment to the Company of an amount equal
to the Warrant Exercise Price(s) applicable to the Warrant Shares being purchased, multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares (at the
applicable Warrant Exercise Price) as to which this Warrant is being exercised (plus any applicable issue or transfer taxes) (the “Aggregate
Exercise Price”) in cash or wire transfer of immediately available funds and the surrender of this Warrant (or an indemnification
undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction) to a common carrier for overnight delivery to
the Company as soon as practicable following such date (“Cash Basis”) or (ii) commencing 60 days (for Warrant Shares
up to 19.99% of outstanding as of closing) and 180 days (for the balance of Warrant Shares)after the issuance of this Warrant, and prior
to 11:59 P.M. Eastern Time on the Expiration Date, if at the time of exercise, the Warrant Shares are not subject to an effective registration
statement or if an Event of Default has occurred, by delivering an Exercise Notice and in lieu of making payment of the Aggregate Exercise
Price in cash or wire transfer, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined
according to the following formula (the “Cashless Exercise”):
Net Number = (A
x B) – (A x C)
B
For purposes of
the foregoing formula:
A = the total number
of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.
4
B = the Closing Bid Price
of the Common Stock on the date of exercise of the Warrant.
C = the Warrant Exercise
Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.
In the event of any exercise
of the rights represented by this Warrant in compliance with this Section 2, the Company shall on or before the second Business Day following
the date of receipt of the Exercise Notice, the Aggregate Exercise Price and this Warrant (or an indemnification undertaking with respect
to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction) and the receipt of the representations of the holder specified in Section
6 hereof, if requested by the Company (the “Exercise Delivery Documents”), and if the Warrant Shares are subject to
an effective and current Registration Statement and the Common Stock is DTC eligible, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock to which the holder shall be entitled to the holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company;
provided, however, if the holder who submitted the Exercise Notice requested physical delivery of any or all of the Warrant Shares, or,
if the Warrant Shares are not subject to an effective and current Registration Statement and the Common Stock is not DTC eligible or the
Company is otherwise unable to deliver the Warrant Shares electronically without any restrictive legend pursuant to applicable securities
laws upon the written opinion of outside counsel, then the Company shall, on or before the second Business Day following receipt of the
Exercise Delivery Documents, issue and surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the address specified in the Exercise Notice,
a certificate or book entry statement, registered in the name of the holder, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder
shall be entitled pursuant to such request. The Warrant Shares shall be issued with a legend unless they are subject to an effective and
current Registration Statement or they are being transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements, the availability
of which is confirmed in an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent. Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice
and Aggregate Exercise Price referred to above, the holder of this Warrant shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the
holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised. In the case of a dispute as to the determination
of the Warrant Exercise Price, the Closing Bid Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue
to the holder the number of Warrant Shares that is not disputed and shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations
to the holder via facsimile within 1 Business Day of receipt of the holder’s Exercise Notice.
(b) If the holder and the
Company are unable to agree upon the determination of the Warrant Exercise Price or arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares within
1 day of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the holder, then the Company shall immediately submit
via electronic mail (i) the disputed determination of the Warrant Exercise Price or the Closing Bid Price to an independent, reputable
investment banking firm or (ii) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to its independent, outside accountant. The
Company shall cause the investment banking firm or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and
notify the Company and the holder of the results no later than 48 hours from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations.
Such investment banking firm’s or accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be deemed conclusive
absent manifest error.
5
(c) Unless the rights represented
by this Warrant shall have expired or shall have been fully exercised, the Company shall, upon the request of the Holder, as soon as practicable
and in no event later than 5 Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant identical in all respects to
this Warrant exercised except it shall represent rights to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such
exercise under this Warrant exercised, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which such Warrant is exercised.
(d) No fractional Warrant
Shares are to be issued upon any pro rata exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of Warrant Shares issued upon such exercise
of this Warrant shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number.
(e) If the Company or its
Transfer Agent shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to the holder within 3 Business Days of receipt of the Exercise Delivery
Documents, a certificate or book entry statement for the number of Warrant Shares to which the holder is entitled or to credit the holder’s
balance account with The Depository Trust Company for such number of Warrant Shares to which the holder is entitled upon the holder’s
exercise of this Warrant, unless such failure results from a failure of the Company’s Transfer Agent to issue such shares as a result
of an act of terrorism, war, natural disaster, act of God or other force majeure event, the Company shall, in addition to any other remedies
under this Warrant or otherwise available to such holder, pay as additional damages in cash to such holder on each day the issuance of
such certificate for Warrant Shares is not timely effected an amount equal to 0.025% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of Warrant
Shares not issued to the holder on a timely basis and to which the holder is entitled, and (B) the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock
for the trading day immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company could have issued such Common Stock to the holder without
violating this Section 2.
(f) If within 5 Business
Days after the Company’s receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents, and the written request of the Holder that a new Warrant be
issued, the Company fails to deliver a new Warrant to the holder for the number of Warrant Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant
to Section 2 hereof, then, the Holder shall be entitled to exercise or transfer its rights under such new Warrant and the Company shall
be obligated to honor such exercises or transfers as if the Holder had submitted the new Warrant without violating this Section 2.
(g) Compliance with
Rules of Principal Market. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion
of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms and
conditions of this Warrant to the extent (but only to the extent) that after giving effect to such exercise, the number of Warrant
Shares issued under this Warrant, the Other Warrants and the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the
Preferred Shares in the aggregate would exceed 1,129,185 (representing 19.99% of the aggregate number of Common Shares issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the date of execution of the Securities Purchase Agreement (subject to adjustment for any stock
splits, combinations or the like)), calculated in accordance with the rules of the Principal Market, which number shall be reduced,
on a share-for-share basis, by the number of Warrant Shares issued or issuable pursuant to any transaction or series of transactions
that may be aggregated with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement under the applicable rules of the Principal Market (such
maximum number of shares, the “Exchange Cap”) provided that, the Exchange Cap will not apply if the Company’s
stockholders have approved the issuance of Common Shares pursuant to this Warrant, the Other Warrants and the Preferred Shares in
excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with the rules of the Principal Market (the “Shareholder Approval”). In
connection with each Exercise Notice, any portion of an exercise that would exceed the Exchange Cap shall automatically be withdrawn
with no further action required by the Company and such Exercise Notice shall be deemed automatically modified to reduce the
aggregate Warrant Shares exercised by an amount equal to such withdrawn portion in respect of each Exercise Notice.

Section 3. Covenants as
to Common Stock. The Company hereby covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) This Warrant is, and
any Warrants issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant will upon issuance be, duly authorized and validly issued.
(b) All Warrant Shares
which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
(c) During the period within
which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved at least 100%
of the number of shares of Common Stock needed to provide for the exercise of the rights then represented by this Warrant and the par
value of said shares will at all times be less than or equal to the applicable Warrant Exercise Price. If at any time the Company does
not have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available, then the Company shall call and hold a special meeting
of its stockholders within 60 days of that time for the sole purpose of increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock.
(d) Unless the Warrant
Shares are already registered for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement, if at any time after the date hereof the Company
shall file a registration statement, the Company shall include the Warrant Shares issuable to the holder, pursuant to the terms of this
Warrant and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all Warrant Shares from time
to time issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant; and the Company shall so list on each national securities exchange or automated quotation
system, as the case may be, and shall maintain such listing of, any other shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise
of this Warrant if and so long as any shares of the same class shall be listed on such national securities exchange or automated quotation
system.
(e) The Company will not,
by amendment of its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance
of any of the terms to be observed or performed by it hereunder, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all
the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by the holder of this Warrant in order
to protect the exercise privilege of the holder of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose
of this Warrant. The Company will not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant
above the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) will take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that
the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.
7
(f) This Warrant will be
binding upon any entity succeeding to the Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all of the Company’s
assets.
Section 4. Taxes. The
Company shall pay any and all taxes, except any applicable withholding, which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery
of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.
Section 5. Warrant Holder
Not Deemed a Stockholder. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, no holder, as such, of this Warrant shall be entitled
to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of capital stock of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained
in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the holder hereof, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right
to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation,
merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance
to the holder of this Warrant of the Warrant Shares which he or she is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant.
In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on such holder to purchase any securities
(upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company
or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 5, the Company will provide the holder of this Warrant with copies of the
same notices and other information given to the stockholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the
stockholders.
Section 6. Representations
of Holder. The holder of this Warrant, by the acceptance hereof, represents that it is acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares
for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution
of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act; provided, however, that
by making the representations herein, the holder does not agree to hold this Warrant or any of the Warrant Shares for any minimum or other
specific term and reserves the right to dispose of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a
registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act. The holder of this Warrant further represents, by acceptance hereof,
that, as of this date, such holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D promulgated
by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act (an “Accredited Investor”). Upon exercise of this
Warrant the holder shall, if requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that the Warrant Shares
so purchased are being acquired solely for the holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, for investment, and
not with a view toward distribution or resale and that such holder is an Accredited Investor. If such holder cannot make such representations
because they would be factually incorrect, it shall be a condition to such holder’s exercise of this Warrant that the Company receive
such other representations as the Company considers reasonably necessary to assure the Company that the issuance of its securities upon
exercise of this Warrant shall not violate any United States or state securities laws.
8
Section 7. Ownership
and Transfer.
(a) The Company shall maintain
at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof),
a register for this Warrant, in which the Company shall record the name and address of the person in whose name this Warrant has been
issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee. The Company may treat the person in whose name any Warrant is registered on
the register as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but in all events recognizing
any transfers made in accordance with the terms of this Warrant.
Section 8. Adjustment
of Warrant Exercise Price. The Warrant Exercise Price of this Warrant shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(a) Reserved.
(b) Adjustment of Warrant
Exercise Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time after the date of issuance of this Warrant
subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a greater number of shares, any Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately
reduced and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately increased. If the Company
at any time after the date of issuance of this Warrant combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes
of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, any Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately
decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 8(b) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination
becomes effective.
(c) Distribution of
Assets. If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to
holders of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other
securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement or other similar transaction)
(a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case (without duplication of
any adjustment pursuant to Section 8(b)):
(i) any Warrant Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled
to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying
such Warrant Exercise Price by a fraction of which (A) the numerator shall be the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the trading
day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board
of Directors) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (B) the denominator shall be the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on
the trading day immediately preceding such record date; and
9
(ii) either (A) the number
of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common
Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock
entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i), or
(B) in the event that the Distribution is of common stock of a company whose common stock is traded on a national securities exchange
or a national automated quotation system, then the holder of this Warrant shall receive an additional warrant to purchase Common Stock,
the terms of which shall be identical to those of this Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the amount of the assets
that would have been payable to the holder of this Warrant pursuant to the Distribution had the holder exercised this Warrant immediately
prior to such record date and with an exercise price equal to the amount by which the exercise price of this Warrant was decreased with
respect to the Distribution pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding clause (i).
(d) Certain Events.
If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 8 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including,
without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s
Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable
upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the holders of the Warrants; provided, that no such adjustment pursuant
to this Section 8(d) will increase the Warrant Exercise Price or decrease the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable as otherwise
determined pursuant to this Section 8.
(e) Voluntary Adjustments
By Company. The Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for
any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.
(f) Notices.
(i) Immediately upon
any adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price, the Company will give written notice thereof to the holder of this Warrant, setting forth
in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment.
(ii) The Company
will give written notice to the holder of this Warrant at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Company closes its
books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, (B) with respect to any pro rata
subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Organic Change (as defined
below), dissolution or liquidation, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with
such notice being provided to such holder.
10
(iii) The Company will
also give written notice to the holder of this Warrant at least 10 days prior to the date on which any Organic Change, dissolution or
liquidation will take place, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice
being provided to such holder.
Section 9. Purchase Rights;
Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.
(a) In addition to any
adjustments pursuant to Section 8 above, 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 Common Stock (the “Purchase
Rights”), then the holder of this Warrant will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the
aggregate Purchase Rights which such holder could have acquired if such holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable
upon complete exercise of this Warrant 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.
(b) Any
recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s
assets to another Person or other transaction in each case which is effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock are entitled
to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities, cash or other assets with respect to or in exchange
for Common Stock is referred to herein as an “Organic Change.” Prior to the consummation of any Organic Change,
the Company shall make appropriate provision (in form and substance satisfactory to the holders of Warrants representing a majority
of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding) to insure that each of the holders of the Warrants
will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the Warrant Shares
immediately theretofore issuable and receivable upon the exercise of such holder’s Warrants (without regard to any limitations
on exercise), such shares of stock, securities, cash or other assets that would have been issued or payable in such Organic Change
with respect to or in exchange for the number of Warrant Shares which would have been issuable and receivable upon the exercise of
such holder’s Warrant as of the date of such Organic Change (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on
the exercisability of this Warrant).
Section 10. Lost, Stolen,
Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall promptly, on receipt of
an indemnification undertaking (or, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, the Warrant), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor
as this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes

be expected to result in: (i) a material adverse effect on the legality, validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document, (ii)
a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business, prospects
or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) a material adverse effect on the

limiting or curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority or qualification.

with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries comply with all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign
laws and regulations relating to employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where

all permits licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses; and
(iii) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval where in each clause (i), (ii) and (iii),
the failure to so comply would be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
(n) Regulatory
Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal,
state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports, except

(o) Title
to Assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them, and
good and marketable title in all personal property owned by them, and valid leasehold rights to lease or otherwise use all real property
and all personal property leased by them, that is material to the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries, in each case free and

service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses and other intellectual property rights and similar rights

the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a notice (written or otherwise) that any of, the Intellectual Property Rights has expired,
terminated or been abandoned, or is expected to expire or terminate or be abandoned, within two years from the date of this Agreement.

rights of any Person, except as would not have or reasonably be expected to not have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the
Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable (other than patent and trademark applications) and there is no existing
infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security
measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their Intellectual Property Rights, except where failure to do so
would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(q) Insurance.
The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such
amounts as are prudent and customary for companies of similar size as the Company in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries
are engaged, other than directors and officers insurance coverage. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any reason to believe that
it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar
insurers as may be necessary to continue its business without a significant increase in cost which would reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect.
(r) Transactions

Internal Accounting Controls. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(s), the Company and the Subsidiaries are in material compliance
with any and all applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, that are effective as of the date hereof and
as of the Closing Date, and any and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission thereunder that are effective
as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date. The Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls
sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific
authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and
to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific
authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate
action is taken with respect to any differences. The Company and the Subsidiaries have established disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and the Subsidiaries and designed such disclosure controls
and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange
Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. The
Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures of the Company and the
Subsidiaries as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation
Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying
officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since
the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange

Section 3.1(t) that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
(u) Investment
Company. The Company is not, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Securities will not be, an “investment company”
or a company that is “controlled” by an “investment company” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company

subject to registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(v) Registration

to cause the Company or any Subsidiary to effect the registration under the Securities Act of any securities of the Company or any Subsidiary.
(w) Listing
and Maintenance Requirements. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and the Company
has taken no action designed to terminate, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of terminating, the registration of
the Common Stock under the Exchange Act nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission is contemplating terminating
such registration. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports or on Schedule 3.1(w), the Company has not, in the 12 months preceding
the date hereof, received notice from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that
the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. Except as set forth in the SEC
Reports or on Schedule 3.1(w), the Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue
to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements. The Common Stock is currently eligible for electronic transfer
through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation and the Company is current in payment of the fees to
the Depository Trust Company (or such other established clearing corporation) in connection with such electronic transfer.
12
(x) Application
of Takeover Protections. The Company and the Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable
any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar
anti-takeover provision under the Company’s certificate of incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its state
of incorporation that is or would become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the Purchasers and the Company fulfilling their obligations
or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including as a result of the Company’s issuance of the Securities and
the Purchasers’ ownership of the Securities.
(y) Disclosure.
Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company confirms
that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers or their agents or counsel with any information
that it believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information. The Company understands and confirms that the Purchasers
will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All of the disclosure furnished by
or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries, their respective businesses and the transactions
contemplated hereby, including the Disclosure Schedules to this Agreement, is true and correct and does not contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading. The press releases disseminated by the Company during the twelve months preceding the date
of this Agreement taken as a whole do not 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made and
when made, not misleading. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser makes or has made any representations or warranties
with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 3.2 hereof.
(z) No
Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2,
neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers
or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the Securities
to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of (i) the Securities Act which would require the registration of any
such Securities under the Securities Act, or (ii) any applicable shareholder approval provisions of any Trading Market on which any of
the securities of the Company are listed or designated.
(aa) Solvency.
Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the receipt by the Company
of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder, (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets exceeds the amount
that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent
liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business as
now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of
the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof, and (iii) the
current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after
taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its liabilities when
such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature
(taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any
facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization
laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date. The Company has not taken any steps to seek protection pursuant to any
law or statute relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, liquidation or winding up, nor does the Company have
any knowledge or reason to believe that any of its creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any actual knowledge
of any fact which would reasonably lead a creditor to do so. Schedule 3.1(aa) sets forth as of the date hereof all outstanding
secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments. For
the purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness” means (A) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess
of $100,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business), (B) all guaranties, endorsements and other
contingent obligations in respect of indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s
consolidated balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection
or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (C) the present value of any lease payments in excess of $100,000 due
under leases required to be capitalized in accordance with GAAP. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.1(aa), neither the Company
nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.

governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations
and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all material taxes for periods subsequent to the

or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii)

by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application
affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance,
injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable
law.
(b) Own
Account. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under
the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring such Securities as principal for its own account and not with
a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state
securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable
state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the
distribution of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law (this representation and warranty
not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement, if applicable, or otherwise
in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit
the ability of any Purchaser to resell all or a part of the Securities in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.
16
(c) Purchaser
Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on which
it exercises any Warrants or converts any Shares, it will be either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1),
(a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7), (a)(8), (a)(9), (a)(12), or (a)(13) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer”
as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.
(d) Certain
Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not, nor has
any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or
sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Purchaser first received
a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms of the transactions
contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser
that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets
and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions
of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by
the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons
party to this Agreement or to such Purchaser’s representatives, including its officers, directors, partners, legal and other advisors,
employees, agents and Affiliates, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this
transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).
(e) General
Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication
regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any
seminar or, to the knowledge of such Purchaser, any other general solicitation or general advertisement.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations
contained in this Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations
and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction Document or any other
document or instrument executed or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
ARTICLE IV.
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1. Removal of Legends.
(a) The
Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities
other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection
with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion
of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the
Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and
the Registration Rights Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement and the Registration
Rights Agreement.
17
(b) The
Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Securities in the following
form:
NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR THE SECURITIES
INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS EXERCISABLE OR CONVERTIBLE INTO HAS BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES
COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT
AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OR CONVERSION OF THIS
SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION
THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
The Company acknowledges and agrees
that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security
interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)
under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities
to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of
legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required
of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a
pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities.
(c) Certificates
evidencing any Underlying Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof), (i) while
a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such Underlying Shares is effective under the
Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Underlying Shares are eligible
for sale under Rule 144, without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements
of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). If eligible for
removal pursuant to the previous sentence, the Company shall cause Company Counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent or
the Purchaser promptly after the Effective Date if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder, or if
requested by a Purchaser, respectively. If all or any portion of a Warrant is exercised or if any Shares are converted at a time when
there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Underlying Shares, or if such Underlying Shares are sold under
Rule 144, or if the Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule 144 or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements
of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission), then such Underlying
Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date with respect to any Underlying Shares,
or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, as soon as possible and in any event
no later than two Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing
Underlying Shares issued with a restrictive legend along with any letter of representations reasonably requested by counsel (such date,
the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such Underlying
Shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends.
(d) Each
Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, acknowledges and agrees that (i) such Purchaser may only sell any Securities
pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or
an exemption therefrom; (ii) if Securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement, such Securities will be sold in compliance
with the plan of distribution set forth therein; and (iii) the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities
as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.
18
4.2. Furnishing
of Information; Public Information. Until the time that no Purchaser owns Shares or Warrants, the Company covenants to maintain
the registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect
thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to
the Exchange Act, even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.
4.3. Integration.
The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section
2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration
under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes
of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder approval prior to the closing of such other
transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.
4.4. Securities
Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the material terms of the transactions
contemplated hereby, including the Transaction Documents required to be filed therewith as exhibits thereto, with the Commission no later
than two Trading Days after the execution of this Agreement. From and after the filing of such Form 8-K, the Company represents to the
Purchasers that it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to any of the Purchasers by the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents. The Company and each Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any press releases with respect
to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make
any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of any Purchaser, or without the
prior consent of each Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or
delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with
prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name
of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market,
without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except: (a) as required by federal securities law in connection with (i) any registration
statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) the filing of final Transaction Documents with the Commission and
(b) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers
with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b).
4.5. Shareholder
Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that any
Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution
under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser
could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents
or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers.
4.6. Non-Public
Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents,
which shall be disclosed pursuant to Section 4.4, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting
on its behalf will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes, or the Company reasonably believes
constitutes, material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have consented in writing to the receipt of such
information and agreed in writing with the Company to keep such information confidential. The Company understands and confirms that each
Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. To the extent that the Company,
any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates delivers any material, non-public
information to a Purchaser without such Purchaser’s consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that such Purchaser shall
not have any duty of confidentiality to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees,
Affiliates or agents, including the Placement Agent, or a duty to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers,
directors, employees, Affiliates or agents, including the Placement Agent, not to trade on the basis of, such material, non-public information,
provided that the Purchaser shall remain subject to applicable law. To the extent that any notice provided pursuant to any Transaction
Document constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously
with the delivery of such notice file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company understands
and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
19
4.7. Use
of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for working capital purposes and
shall not use such proceeds: (a) for the satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s debt (other than payment of trade payables
in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and prior practices), (b) for the redemption of any Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents, (c) for the settlement of any outstanding litigation or (d) in violation of FCPA or OFAC regulations.
4.8. Indemnification
of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.8, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its
directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role
of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents,
members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding
a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any
and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in
settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or
incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company
in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against the Purchaser Parties in any capacity, or
any of them or their respective Affiliates, by the Company, any shareholder or creditor of the Company or other third party who is not
an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such
action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents
or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such shareholder or any violations by such Purchaser Party
of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which constitutes fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct).
For the avoidance of doubt, this indemnity may cover direct claims brought against any Purchaser by the Company. If any action shall
be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall
promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall (except with respect to any direct claim brought by the Company) have the
right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party
shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically
authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ
counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the
position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees
and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (A)
for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed; or (B) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s
breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other
Transaction Documents. The indemnification required by this Section 4.8 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof
during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained
herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities
the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.
4.9. Reservation
of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available
at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue
Underlying Shares pursuant to any conversion of the Shares (using the Floor Price as the conversion price) or exercise of the Warrants.
20
4.10. Listing
of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use reasonable efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Stock
on the Trading Market on which it is currently listed, and concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall apply to list or quote all
of the Underlying Shares on such Trading Market and promptly secure the listing of all of the Underlying Shares on such Trading Market.
The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will then include in
such application all of the Underlying Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Underlying Shares to
be listed or quoted on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The Company will then take all action reasonably necessary to
continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting,
filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market. The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Common
Stock for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including by timely payment
of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.
4.11. Shareholder
Approval. In the proxy statement for the next annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders, which the Company shall hold
no later than November 14, 2026, the Company shall include a proposal to obtain the Shareholder Approval, which shall be accompanied by
a unanimous recommendation of the Board of Directors that such proposal be approved. The Company shall solicit proxies from its shareholders
in connection therewith in the same manner as all other management proposals in such proxy statement and all management-appointed proxyholders
shall vote their proxies in favor of such proposal and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Shareholder Approval.
If the Company does not obtain Shareholder Approval at such annual meeting, the Company shall call a meeting every 90 days thereafter
to seek Shareholder Approval until the earlier of the date Shareholder Approval is obtained or the Shares are no longer outstanding.
4.12. Equal
Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid to
any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration
is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate
right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the
Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase,
disposition or voting of the Securities or otherwise.
4.13. Certain Transactions and Confidentiality.
(a) Each
Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it, nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or
pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of any of the Company’s securities
during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the Form 8-K as described in Section 4.4. Each Purchaser, severally and not
jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed
by the Company pursuant to the Form 8-K as described in Section 4.4, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence
and terms of this transaction and the information included in the Transaction Documents and the Disclosure Schedules.
(b) Notwithstanding
any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that such
Purchaser, together with Persons acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, or any Affiliate of the foregoing (collectively, the “Restricted
Persons”), shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in or execute any Short Sale of the Common Stock, either for its own principal
account or for the principal account of another Restricted Person, during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and
ending on the date that no Shares or Warrants remain outstanding.
(c) The
Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that, except for the covenants set forth above in this Section 4.13, (i) no Purchaser
makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company,
(ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with
applicable securities laws from and after the time and (iii) this Agreement shall impose no duty on any Purchaser of confidentiality
or to not trade in the securities of the Company. Further, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby
separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge
of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenants set
forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision
to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.
21
4.14. Exercise
and Conversion Procedures. The form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants and the form of Conversion Notice (as defined
in the Certificate of Designations) included in the Certificate of Designations set forth the totality of the procedures required of the
Purchasers in order to exercise the Warrants or convert the Shares. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall
be required of the Purchasers to exercise their Warrants or convert their Shares. The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and
conversion of the Shares and shall deliver the Underlying Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in
the Transaction Documents.
4.15. Form
D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D
and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of any Purchaser. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably
determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchasers at the Closing under
applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly
upon request of any Purchaser.
ARTICLE
V.
MISCELLANEOUS
5.1. Termination.
This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever
on the obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other Parties, if the Closing has not been consummated
on or before the fifth Trading Day following the date hereof; provided, however, that no such termination will affect the right of any
Party to sue for any breach by any other Party (or Parties).
5.2. Fees

of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such Party incident to the negotiation,

5.5. Amendments;
Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the
case of an amendment, by the Company and the Purchasers holding a majority of the Shares then outstanding or, in the case of a waiver,
by the Party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought, provided that if any amendment, modification or waiver
disproportionately and adversely impacts a Purchaser (or group of Purchasers), the consent of such disproportionately impacted Purchaser
(or group of Purchasers) shall also be required. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of
this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other
provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any Party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner
impair the exercise of any such right. Any proposed amendment or waiver that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the
rights and obligations of any Purchaser relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Purchasers shall require the prior
written consent of such adversely affected Purchaser. Any amendment effected in accordance with this Section 5.5 shall be binding

The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Purchaser (other

transfers any Securities, provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by
the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchasers.”
5.8. No Third-Party
Beneficiaries. The Placement Agent shall be the third party beneficiary of the representations and warranties of the Company
in Section 3.1 and the representations and warranties of the Purchasers in Section 3.2. This Agreement is intended for
the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision

5.9. Governing Law.
All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by
and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of 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 and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a Party or its respective affiliates, directors,
officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting
in the New York City. Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in
the New York City, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction
contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any Action or Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any
such court, that such Action or Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding. Each Party hereby irrevocably
waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Action or Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via
registered or certified 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. If any Party shall
commence an Action or Proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then, in addition to the obligations of the
Company under Section 4.8, the prevailing Party in such Action or Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing Party for
its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such
Action or Proceeding.
5.10. Survival.
The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.
23
5.11. Execution.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement
and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each Party and delivered to each other Party, it being understood that
the Parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf”
format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the Party executing (or on whose behalf such signature
is executed) with the same force and effect as if such “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
5.12. Severability.
If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal,
void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force
and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to
find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision,
covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the Parties that they would have executed the remaining
terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
5.13. Rescission
and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any
of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document
and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or
withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole
or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, that, in the case of a rescission of an exercise
of a Warrant, the applicable Purchaser shall be required to return any Warrant Shares subject to any such rescinded exercise notice concurrently
with the return to such Purchaser of the aggregate exercise price paid to the Company for such Warrant Shares and the restoration of such
Purchaser’s right to acquire such Warrant Shares pursuant to such Purchaser’s Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement
warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).
5.14. Replacement
of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company
shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu
of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company
of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable
third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
5.15. Remedies.
In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers
and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The Parties agree that monetary damages may
not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby
agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would
be adequate.
5.16. Payment
Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or
a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise
or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or
are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including
any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation
or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not
been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
24
5.17. Independent
Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several
and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance
of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document,
and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association,
a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group
with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently
protect and enforce its rights including the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall
not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been
represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to
provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required
or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement
and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers
collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.
5.18. Saturdays,
Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted
herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
5.19. Construction.
The Parties agree that each of them or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents
and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting Party shall
not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to
share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits,
stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement. As
used here, the words “including” or “includes” shall be deemed followed by “without limitation,” and
the word “or” shall be deemed to mean “and/or.”
5.20. WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH
KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY
WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS OF
SERIES D CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
OF
BIG DIGITAL ENERGY, INC.
I, Kaliste Saloom,
hereby certify that I am the General Counsel of Big Digital Energy, Inc. (the “Company”), a corporation organized and
existing under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), and further do hereby certify on behalf of the Company
and not in my personal capacity:
That pursuant
to the authority expressly conferred upon the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) by the Company’s
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), and Section 151(g) of the DGCL,
the Special Transactions Committee of the Board, with authority delegated by the Board, on June 29, 2026, passed the following resolutions,
creating a series of preferred stock having a par value of $0.001 per share, designated as “Series D Convertible Preferred Stock”.
RESOLVED, that,
in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, the Special Transactions Committee of the Board does hereby authorize
and provide for the establishment, allotment and issuance of a series of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company designated
as “Series D Convertible Preferred Stock” and that the designation and number of shares thereof and the other relative
rights, powers and preferences of the shares of such series and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof in accordance
with this certificate of designations (this “Certificate of Designations”), as follows:
TERMS OF SERIES D CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED
STOCK
1. Designation
and Number of Shares. There shall hereby be created and established a series of preferred stock of the Company designated as “Series
D Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Preferred Stock”). The authorized number of Preferred Stock shall be 100,000
shares. Each Preferred Share shall have a par value of $0.001 and shall be certificated and represented in physical or electronic stock-certificate
form. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings as set forth in Section 33 below.
2. Ranking. For
so long as any Preferred Stock are issued, except (x) as permitted pursuant to Section 15(e) or (y) to the extent that the Required Holders
(as defined below) expressly consent to the creation of Parity Shares or Senior Preferred Stock (as defined below) in accordance with
Section 18, all shares in the capital of the Company shall be junior in rank to the Preferred Stock with respect to the preferences as
to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company (such junior shares are referred
to herein collectively as “Junior Shares”). The rights of all shares in the capital of the Company shall be subject
to the rights, powers, preferences and privileges of the Preferred Stock. Without limiting any other provision of this Certificate of
Designations, without the prior express consent of holders of at least a majority of the issued Preferred Stock and Yorkville (as defined
below) (collectively, the “Required Holders”), voting separately as a single class, the Company shall not hereafter
authorize or issue any additional or other shares in the capital of the Company that is (i) of senior rank to the Preferred Stock in
respect of the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company
(collectively, the “Senior Preferred Stock”), (ii) of pari passu rank to the Preferred Stock in respect of the preferences
as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company (collectively, the “Parity
Shares”) or (iii) any Junior Shares having a maturity date or which is mandatorily redeemable or redeemable at the option of
the holder thereof, in whole or in part, on or prior to the date that is 90 days after the date that no Preferred Stock remain issued,
except, in the case of the foregoing clause (i) and (ii), to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 15(e). In the event of the merger
or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, so long as any Preferred Stock remain issued, the Preferred Stock shall
maintain their relative rights, powers, designations, privileges and preferences provided for herein and no such merger or consolidation
shall be consummated if it would result in the Preferred Stock being treated in any manner inconsistently with the foregoing, unless
the Company has exercised its right of Company Optional Redemption in full prior to or in connection with such merger or consolidation
and actually pays the applicable Company Optional Redemption Price prior to or simultaneously with such merger or consolidation.
29
3. Dividends.
(a) Dividends.
Each holder of a Preferred Share (each, a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”), shall be entitled
to receive dividends (“Dividends”) on the Stated Value of its Preferred Stock at the applicable Dividend Rate (as defined
below). Dividends on the Preferred Stock shall commence accruing on the date of issuance of a Preferred Share and shall be computed on
the basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day months. Dividends shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Trading Day of each
quarter (each, a “Dividend Date”). On each Dividend Date, the Company shall, at its election, (i) pay such Dividend
through the issuance of additional Preferred Stock (“PIK Shares”) to each holder equal to the quotient of (x) the aggregate
amount of Dividends accrued on such Holder’s Preferred Stock and (y) the Stated Value or (ii) pay such Dividend in cash; provided,
however, that the Company shall not pay any Dividend in cash to the extent prohibited by applicable law or agreements governing the Company’s
debts or other liabilities. If the Company elects to pay a Dividend through the issuance of PIK Shares, the Company shall promptly after
each Dividend Date deliver to each Holder stock certificate receipts evidencing the issuance of the PIK Shares on such Dividend Date,
if any such PIK Shares are so issued on such Dividend Date. Dividends on the Preferred Stock as provided in this Section 3(a) shall accrue
and be payable whether or not declared, set aside for payment or otherwise authorized by the Board and whether or not in any fiscal year
there shall be net profits or surplus available for the payment of dividends, such that if Dividends are not paid as provided in this
Section 3(a), the unpaid Dividends shall accumulate until paid.
4. Conversion.
At any time beginning two months after the Initial Issuance Date, each Preferred Share shall be convertible into validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4.
(a) Holder’s
Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(d), at any time or times on or after the date that is two (2) months after
the Initial Issuance Date, each Holder shall be entitled to convert any Preferred Stock held by such Holder into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 4(c) at the Conversion Rate (as defined below).
The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance
of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share.
The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees
and expenses of the Transfer Agent (as defined below)) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon
conversion of any Preferred Stock, except any such taxes that are due because the converting Holder requests the shares of Common Stock
to be registered in a name other than the Holder’s name.
30
(b) Conversion
Rate. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Preferred Share pursuant to Section 4(a) shall be determined
by dividing (x) the Conversion Amount of such Preferred Share by (y) the Conversion Price (the “Conversion Rate”):
(i) “Conversion
Amount” means, with respect to each Preferred Share, as of the applicable date of determination, the sum of (A) the Stated
Value thereof plus (B) any Additional Amount thereon as of such date of determination.
(ii) “Conversion
Price” means, with respect to each Preferred Share, as of any Conversion Date or other date of determination, 95% of the lowest
daily VWAP of the Common Stock during the five (5) consecutive Trading Day period immediately preceding but not including the Conversion
Date, provided that the Conversion Price shall not be lower than the Floor Price and subject to adjustment as provided herein.
(iii) Derivative
Liability Savings Adjustment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations, solely with respect to
fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2026, if the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm confirms in writing that, absent
an increase in the Floor Price pursuant to this Section 4(b)(iii), the issuance of the Preferred Stock or the existence, terms or operation
of the conversion rights hereunder would be required under U.S. GAAP to result in a Derivative Liability in excess of $2,000,000, or
would cause the Company to breach the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, then the Floor Price shall, effective as of the date of
such written confirmation and without further action by the Company or any Holder, be increased solely to the lowest price that such
independent registered public accounting firm confirms in writing would (A) limit such Derivative Liability to not more than $2,000,000
and (B) cause the Company to satisfy shareholder’s equity maintenance requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market
. Any such written confirmation shall include reasonably detailed supporting calculations, shall be delivered to each Holder promptly
and in any event within one (1) Business Day after receipt by the Company, and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. No adjustment
under this Section 4(b)(iii) shall be made based on the Company’s internal determination or without such written confirmation,
and any increase in the Floor Price pursuant to this Section 4(b)(iii) shall be no greater than necessary to achieve the foregoing limits.
If, after any increase in the Floor Price pursuant to this Section 4(b)(iii), the Company’s independent registered public accounting
firm confirms in writing that a lower Floor Price would not result in a Derivative Liability in excess of $2,000,000 or cause the Company’s
stockholders’ equity to be less than the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement as of any fiscal quarter end, then the Floor Price
shall automatically decrease to such lower price, but in no event below the Floor Price in effect immediately prior to the applicable
increase under this Section 4(b)(iii). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and for the avoidance of doubt, this
Section 4(b) shall only be effective with respect to the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2026, and shall not have any force and effect,
and shall not be operative, with respect to any other fiscal period of the Company.
31
(c) Any
Mechanics of Conversion. The conversion of each Preferred Share shall be conducted in the following manner:
(i) Optional
Conversion. To convert a Preferred Share into shares of Common Stock on any date (a “Conversion Date”), a Holder
shall deliver (whether via electronic mail or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on such date, a
copy of an executed notice of conversion of the share(s) of Preferred Stock subject to such conversion in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company. As promptly as practicable, and in any event on
or before the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by electronic
mail an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
II, to such Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), which confirmation shall
constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein. On or before the
second (2nd) Trading Day following each date on which the Company has received a Conversion Notice (the “Share Delivery Deadline”),
the Company shall: (1) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in DTC’s Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (“FAST”),
credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such conversion to such Holder’s
or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (2) if the Transfer Agent is
not participating in FAST, upon the request of such Holder, issue and deliver (whether via electronic email or reputable overnight courier)
to the address as specified in such Conversion Notice, a Book-Entry Statement, registered in the name of such Holder or its designee,
for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled. If less than all of the Preferred Stock then held by
a Holder are submitted for conversion pursuant to any Conversion Notice, then the Company shall, as soon as practicable and in no event
later than two (2) Trading Days after receipt of the applicable Conversion Notice and at its own expense, issue and deliver to such Holder
(or its designee) a new stock certificate (in accordance with Section 20(c)) representing the number of Preferred Stock not converted.
The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of Preferred Stock shall be treated for
all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.
(ii) Company’s
Failure to Timely Convert. If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery
Deadline, if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, to issue and deliver to such Holder (or its designee) a Book-Entry for
the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s
share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, to credit such Holder’s or its designee’s balance account
with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion of any Conversion
Amount (as the case may be) (a “Conversion Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Holder,
such Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the
case may be, all, or any portion, of such Preferred Stock that has not been converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice; provided that
the voiding of a Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to
the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 4(c)(ii) or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to the Share Delivery
Deadline the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver to such Holder (or its designee)
a Book-Entry and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating
in FAST, the Transfer Agent shall fail to credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with
DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion hereunder or pursuant
to the Company’s obligation pursuant to clause (II) below, and if on or after such Share Delivery Deadline such Holder purchases
(in an open market transaction, shares loan or otherwise) shares of Common Stock corresponding to all or any portion of the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that such Holder is entitled to receive from the Company and has not received from
the Company in connection with such Conversion Failure, as applicable (a “Buy-In”), then, in addition to all other
remedies available to such Holder, the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such Holder’s request and
in such Holder’s discretion, either: (I) pay cash to such Holder in an amount equal to such Holder’s total purchase price
(including brokerage commissions, shares loan costs and other out-of- pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased
(including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of such Holder) (the “Buy-In Price”),
at which point the Company’s obligation to so issue and deliver such Book-Entry (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) or credit
to the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock
to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue such shares of Common
Stock) shall terminate, or (II) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to such Holder a Book-Entry representing such shares
of Common Stock or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number
of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be) and pay
cash to such Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (x) such number of shares of Common
Stock multiplied by (y) the lowest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date
of the applicable Conversion Notice and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this clause (II). Nothing herein shall
limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation,
a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver a Book Entry
representing shares of Common Stock (or to electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock) upon the conversion of Preferred Stock
as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
32
(iii) Registration;
Book-Entry. The Company (or the Transfer Agent, as custodian for the Preferred Stock) shall maintain a register (the “Register”)
for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Holders of each Preferred Share and the Stated Value of the Preferred Stock (the
“Registered Preferred Stock”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent
manifest error. The Company and each Holder of the Preferred Stock shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as
the owner of a Preferred Share for all purposes (including, without limitation, the right to receive payments and Dividends hereunder)
notwithstanding notice to the contrary. A Registered Preferred Share may be assigned, transferred or sold only by registration of such
assignment or sale on the Register. Upon its receipt of a written request to assign, transfer or sell one or more Registered Preferred
Stock by such Holder thereof, the Company shall record the information contained therein in the Register and issue one or more new Registered
Preferred Stock in the same aggregate Stated Value as the Stated Value of the surrendered Registered Preferred Stock to the designated
assignee or transferee pursuant to Section 20, provided that, subject to Section 19, if the Company has granted its consent to an assignment
or other transfer (or such consent is not required in accordance with Section 19) and the Company does not so record an assignment, transfer
or sale (as the case may be) of such Registered Preferred Stock within two (2) Business Days of such a request, then the Register shall
be automatically deemed updated to reflect such assignment, transfer or sale (as the case may be). Each Holder and the Company shall
maintain records showing the Stated Value, Dividends converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and Late Charges converted and/or paid
(as the case may be), and the dates of such conversions and/or payments (as the case may be), or shall use such other method, reasonably
satisfactory to such Holder and the Company, and if the Company does not update the Register to record such Stated Value, Dividends converted
and/or paid (as the case may be) and Late Charges converted and/or paid (as the case may be), and the dates of such conversions and/or
payments (as the case may be), within two (2) Business Days of such occurrence, then the Register shall be automatically deemed updated
to reflect such occurrence. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Company establishing the number of Preferred
Stock to which the record holder is entitled shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. A Holder and any
transferee or assignee, by acceptance of a Book-Entry, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following
conversion of any Preferred Stock, the number of Preferred Stock represented by such Book-Entry may be less than the number of Preferred
Stock stated in the most recent Book-Entry statement delivered to the Holder. Each Book-Entry representing Preferred Stock shall bear
the following legend:
ANY
TRANSFEREE OR ASSIGNEE OF THIS INSTRUMENT SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS OF THE CORPORATION’S CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING
TO THE SHARES OF SERIES D PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT, INCLUDING SECTION 4(c)(iii) THEREOF.
THE
NUMBER OF SHARES OF SERIES D PREFERRED STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT MAY BE LESS THAN THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF SERIES D PREFERRED
STOCK STATED ON THE FACE HEREOF PURSUANT TO SECTION 4(c)(iii) OF THE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE SHARES OF SERIES D PREFERRED
STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT.
(iv) Pro
Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event that the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one Holder for the same Conversion
Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such Preferred Stock submitted for conversion, the Company shall convert from
each Holder electing to have Preferred Stock converted on such date a Holder Pro Rata Amount of such Holder’s Preferred Stock submitted
for conversion on such date based on the number of Preferred Stock submitted for conversion on such date by such Holder relative to the
aggregate number of Preferred Stock submitted for conversion on such date. In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable to a Holder in connection with a conversion of Preferred Stock, the Company shall issue to such Holder the number of shares
of Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 25.
33
(d) Limitation
on Beneficial Ownership. The Company shall not effect the conversion of any of the Preferred Stock held by a Holder, and such Holder
shall not have the right to convert any of the Preferred Stock held by such Holder pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Certificate
of Designations, and any such conversion shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect
to such conversion, such Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the
“Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion.
For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and the other
Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by such Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock with respect to which the determination of such sentence
is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted Preferred
Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or
nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes, convertible Preferred
Stock or warrants, including the Preferred Stock) beneficially owned by such Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation
on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 4(d). For purposes of this Section 4(d), beneficial ownership
shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated
above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For
purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock a Holder may acquire upon the conversion of such Preferred Stock
without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, such Holder may rely on the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as reflected in (x)
the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case
may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent, if
any, setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If
the Company receives a Conversion Notice from a Holder at a time when the actual number of shares of Common Stock outstanding is less
than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall notify such Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then
outstanding and, to the extent that such Conversion Notice would otherwise cause such Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined
pursuant to this Section 4(d), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, such Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of shares of
Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to such Conversion Notice. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of any
Holder, the Company shall within two (2) Business Days confirm in writing or by electronic mail to such Holder the number of shares of
Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect
to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including such Preferred Stock, by such Holder and any other Attribution
Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common
Stock to a Holder upon conversion of such Preferred Stock results in such Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially
own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section
13(d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so issued by which such Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate
beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall
be cancelled ab initio, and such Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. For purposes of clarity, the
shares of Common Stock issuable to a Holder pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations in excess of the Maximum Percentage
shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by such Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1)
of the 1934 Act. No prior inability to convert such Preferred Stock pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability
of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility. The provisions of this paragraph
shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(d) to the extent
necessary to correct this paragraph (or any portion of this paragraph) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial
ownership limitation contained in this Section 4(d) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect
to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived or eliminated (except by an amendment to this Certificate
of Designations) and shall apply to a successor holder of such Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4(d) shall
not apply to any Holder that, together with such Holder’s other Attribution Parties, beneficially owns shares of Common Stock in
excess of the Maximum Percentage as of the first date on which such Holder acquires Preferred Stock.
34
(e) Conversion
Limitation. During any calendar month, so long as no Triggering Event has occurred and is continuing, no Holder shall convert Preferred
Stock to the extent that the aggregate dollar value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon all conversions by Holders during such
calendar month would exceed the greater of (a) ten percent (10%) of aggregate dollar trading volume of the Common Stock during such calendar
month or (b) $2.0 million. For the avoidance of doubt, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Triggering Event the limitations
set forth in this Section 4(e) shall have no force and effect.
(f) Principal
Market Regulation. The Company shall not issue any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of any Preferred Shares or otherwise pursuant
to the terms of this Certificate of Designations if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock together with the number of shares issued
under that certain Warrant would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon conversion of
the Preferred Shares without breaching the Company’s obligations under the listing rules of the Principal Market (the number of
shares which may be issued without violating such rules, including rules related to the aggregate offerings under NASDAQ Listing Rule
5635(d) and NYSE Listed Company Manual Section 312.03(c), as applicable, the “Exchange Cap”), except that such limitation
shall not apply in the event that the Company (A) obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable listing rules
of the Principal Market for issuances of shares of Common Stock in excess of such amount or (B) obtains a written opinion from outside
counsel to the Company that such approval is not required, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders. Until
such approval or such written opinion is obtained, no Holder shall be issued in the aggregate, upon conversion of any Preferred Shares,
shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of (i) the Exchange Cap as of the Initial Issuance Date multiplied by (ii)
the quotient of (1) the aggregate number of Preferred Shares issued to such Holder on the Initial Issuance Date divided by (2) the aggregate
number of Preferred Shares issued to the Holders on the Initial Issuance Date (with respect to each Holder, the “Exchange Cap
Allocation”). In the event that any Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holder’s Preferred Shares, the
transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation with respect to such portion of such
Preferred Shares so transferred, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion
of the Exchange Cap Allocation so allocated to such transferee. Upon conversion in full of a Holder’s Preferred Shares, the difference
(if any) between such Holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued to such Holder
upon such Holder’s conversion in full of such Preferred Shares shall be allocated to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of
the remaining Holders of Preferred Shares on a pro rata basis in proportion to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Preferred Shares
then held by each such Holder of Preferred Shares.

5.

(iv) the

by applicable federal securities laws, and any such failure remains uncured for at least five (5) Trading Days after the Company’s

vacated or otherwise satisfied within sixty (60) days after (A) the date on which the right to appeal the same has expired, if no such

judgments or awards in favor of Affiliates of Celsius Mining LLC occurring prior to the Initial Issuance Date);
(x) default

currency equivalent) in the aggregate of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, whether such indebtedness exists as of the Initial Issuance
Date or is thereafter created, where such default constitutes a failure to pay principal or interest on such indebtedness or results
in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to its stated maturity (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any
amounts owed to Affiliates of Celsius Mining LLC on account of judgments or awards occurring prior to the Initial Issuance Date or any

(b) Notice
of a Triggering Event. Within two (2) Business Days after becoming aware of the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Company shall
deliver written notice thereof via electronic mail to each Holder.
6.
Rights Upon Fundamental Transactions.
(a) Assumption.
The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) (x) the Successor Entity or its Parent Entity (in
which case, all subsequent references to “Successor Entity” in this paragraph shall be deemed to refer to such Parent Entity)
assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Certificate of Designations and the other Transaction Documents in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(a) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Required Holders and approved by the Required Holders prior to such Fundamental Transaction (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed), including agreements to deliver to each Holder of Preferred Stock in exchange for such Preferred Stock a security
of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Certificate of Designations,
including, without limitation, having a stated value and dividend rate equal to the stated value and dividend rate of the Preferred Stock
held by the Holders and having similar ranking to the Preferred Stock, and satisfactory to the Required Holders and (y) the Successor
Entity is a publicly traded corporation whose common equity is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market or (ii) the Company
exercises its right of Company Optional Redemption in full effective upon the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction. Except in
the case of the foregoing clause (ii), upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, (A) the Successor Entity shall succeed to,
and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Certificate of Designations
and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise
every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Certificate of Designations and
the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein and therein, and
(B) the Successor Entity shall deliver to each Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock
at any time after the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash,
assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 7 and 15, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter))
issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of the publicly traded common
equity (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity which each Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such
Fundamental Transaction had all the Preferred Stock held by each Holder been converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction
at the Conversion Price in effect at such time (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Preferred Stock contained
in this Certificate of Designations), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Certificate of Designations. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, such Holder may elect, at its sole option, by delivery of written notice to the Company to waive this Section 6(a) to
permit the Fundamental Transaction without the assumption of the Preferred Stock. The provisions of this Section 6 shall apply similarly
and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Preferred
Stock.
38
7.
Rights Upon Issuance of Purchase Rights and Other Corporate Events.
(a) Purchase
Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 8 and Section 15 below, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells
any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase shares, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to all or substantially
all of the record holders of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then each Holder will be entitled to
acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such
Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of all the Preferred Stock (without taking into
account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Preferred Stock and assuming for such purpose that all the Preferred
Stock were converted at the Conversion Price as of the applicable record date) held by such Holder immediately prior to the date on which
a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record
holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights, provided, however, to the
extent that such Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in such Holder and the other Attribution
Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then such Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent
of the Maximum Percentage (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase
Right (and beneficial ownership) to such extent of any such excess) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance
(and, if such Purchase Right has an expiration date, maturity date or other similar provision, such term shall be extended by such number
of days held in abeyance, if applicable) for the benefit of such Holder until such time or times, if ever, as its right thereto would
not result in such Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times such Holder shall
be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right
to be held similarly in abeyance (and, if such Purchase Right has an expiration date, maturity date or other similar provision, such
term shall be extended by such number of days held in abeyance, if applicable)) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation.
(b) Other
Corporate Events. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental
Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or
in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), except to the extent the Company exercises its right
of Company Optional Redemption effective upon the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, the Company shall make appropriate provision
to ensure that each Holder will thereafter have the right, at such Holder’s option, to receive upon a conversion of all the Preferred
Stock held by such Holder (i) such securities or other assets to which such Holder would have been entitled with respect to the shares
of Common Stock receivable upon such conversion had such shares of Common Stock been held by such Holder upon the consummation of such
Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Preferred Stock set forth in
this Certificate of Designations) or (ii) in lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities
or other assets received by the holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such
amounts as such Holder would have been entitled to receive had the Preferred Stock held by such Holder initially been issued with conversion
rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to shares of Common Stock) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate
with the Conversion Rate in effect at such time. Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Required Holders. The provisions of this Section 7 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events
and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Preferred Stock set forth in this Certificate of Designations.
39
8.
Rights Upon Issuance of Other Securities.
(a) Voluntary
Adjustment by Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the Principal Market, the Company may at any time any Preferred Stock
remain issued, with the prior written consent of the Required Holders, reduce the then current Conversion Price to any amount and for
any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board.
(b) Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made by rounding to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable.
The number of shares of Common Stock issued at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company,
and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock. The Company will make all calculations in
good faith, and, absent manifest error, its calculations will be final and binding on all Holders. The Company will provide a schedule
of such calculations to any Holder upon written request.
9. Non-circumvention.
The Company hereby covenants and agrees, to the extent that it is within the power and control of the Company, that the Company will
not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme
of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance
of any of the terms of this Certificate of Designations, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Certificate
of Designations and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holders hereunder. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing or any other provision of this Certificate of Designations or the other Transaction Documents, the Company (a) shall
not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the conversion of any Preferred Stock above the Conversion Price
then in effect, (b) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally
issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of Preferred Stock and (c) shall, so long as any Preferred
Stock are issued, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for
the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Preferred Stock, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time
be necessary to effect the conversion of the Preferred Stock then issued (without regard to any limitations on conversion contained herein).
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if each Holder is not permitted to convert such Holder’s Preferred Stock in full
for any reason (other than pursuant to restrictions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts
to promptly remedy such failure, including, without limitation, obtaining such consents or approvals as necessary to effect such conversion
into shares of Common Stock.
10. Authorized Shares.
(a) Reservation.
So long as any Preferred Stock remain issued, the Company shall at all times reserve out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock
a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time
to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Preferred Stock then issued at the Floor Price then in effect (without regard
to any limitations on conversions) and (ii) 100% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would be necessary to effect
the conversion of that number of PIK Shares equal to eighteen (18) months of Dividends on the Preferred Stock then issued at the Floor
Price then in effect (without regard to any limitations on conversions set forth herein) (the “Required Reserve Amount”).
The Required Reserve Amount (including, without limitation, each increase in the number of shares so reserved) shall be allocated pro
rata among the Holders based on the number of the Preferred Stock held by each Holder on each Issuance Date or increase in the number
of reserved shares, as the case may be (the “Authorized Share Allocation”). In the event that a Holder shall sell
or otherwise transfer any of such Holder’s Preferred Stock, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Holder’s
Authorized Share Allocation. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Preferred Stock
shall be allocated to the remaining Holders of Preferred Stock, pro rata based on the number of the Preferred Stock then held by the
Holders.
40
(b) Insufficient
Authorized Shares. If, notwithstanding Section 10(a) and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the Preferred Stock
remain issued the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation
to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Stock at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve
Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the
Company’s authorized Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Preferred
Stock then issued (or deemed issued pursuant to Section 10(a) above). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon
as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the
occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its shareholders for the approval of an increase in
the number of authorized Common Stock. Nothing contained in Section 10(a) or this Section 10(b) shall limit any obligations of the Company
under any provision of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
11. Company Optional Redemption.
(a) At
any time, or from time to time, after the Issuance Date for the applicable Preferred Shares, the Company shall have the right to redeem
all or any portion of such Preferred Shares (the “Company Optional Redemption”) at a redemption price equal to the
Conversion Amount of the Preferred Shares to be redeemed multiplied by 105% (such price, subject to adjustment as provided herein,
the “Company Optional Redemption Price”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not exercise its rights
to Company Optional Redemption, or otherwise send a Notice of Company Optional Redemption, unless the Company has sufficient funds legally
available to fully pay the Company Optional Redemption Price in respect of all Preferred Shares called for Company Optional Redemption.
The Company Optional Redemption Price shall be paid in cash. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the date of the Notice of Company Optional
Redemption or if at any time during the Company Optional Redemption Period, the Equity Conditions are not, or cease to be, satisfied,
then the Company Optional Redemption Price shall be the greater of (x) such portion of the Conversion Amount multiplied by 105%
and (y) the product of (A) such portion of the Conversion Amount multiplied by (B) the quotient determined by dividing (I) the highest
VWAP for the Common Stock during the Company Optional Redemption Period by (II) the Conversion Price in effect on the Trading Day on
which such highest VWAP occurs; provided, such increased Company Optional Redemption Price shall apply only with respect to that portion
of the Conversion Amount being redeemed that is convertible into a number of shares of Common Stock that would be required to be registered
for resale under the RRA but are not so registered.
(b) If
the Company elects to effect a Company Optional Redemption, the Company shall send to the Holders a written notice (i) notifying the
Holders of the election of the Company to redeem all or the applicable part of the Preferred Shares and the date set for redemption
(the “Company Optional Redemption Date”), (ii) stating the Conversion Amount subject to the Company Optional Redemption
(the “Company Optional Redemption Amount”), (iii) stating the instructions a Holder must follow to receive
payment, and (iv) stating the Company Optional Redemption Price therefor (such notice, a “Notice of Company Optional
Redemption”). The Company Optional Redemption Date selected by the Company shall be no less than 12 Trading Days nor more
than 60 Trading Days after the date on which the Company provides the Notice of Company Optional Redemption to the Holders (such
period, “Company Optional Redemption Notice Period”). In the case of a partial redemption, then (x) the Preferred
Shares to be redeemed will be selected pro rata among the Holders based on the number of the Preferred Shares held by each Holder on
the Company Optional Redemption Date and (y) all Conversion Amounts converted by the Holder after the date of the Notice of Company
Optional Redemption shall reduce the Company Optional Redemption Amount required to be redeemed on the Company Optional Redemption
Date.
41
(c) For
the avoidance of doubt, the Holder may convert Preferred Shares, at any time and from time to time during or after a Company Optional
Redemption Notice Period until 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the second (2nd) Business Day immediately before the applicable
Company Optional Redemption Date, except to the extent the Company fails to pay the Company Optional Redemption Price for such Preferred
Shares in accordance with this Section 11. With respect to any portion of the Conversion Amount of the Preferred Shares which have not
been converted by a Holder prior to the applicable Company Optional Redemption Date and have been specified to be redeemed by the Company
pursuant to the Company Optional Redemption and which have been redeemed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11, (i) Dividends,
if any, shall cease to accrue on such Preferred Shares, (ii) such Preferred Shares shall no longer be deemed outstanding and (iii) all
rights with respect to such Preferred Shares shall cease and terminate.
(d) Any
such Notice of Company Optional Redemption given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11 may, at the Company’s discretion,
be given prior to the completion of a transaction (including a Fundamental Transaction or other transaction) and be subject to the satisfaction
(or waiver by the Company) of one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of a related transaction. If
such Company Optional Redemption is so subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such Notice of Company Optional Redemption
shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the applicable Company Optional
Redemption Date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the Notice of Company Optional Redemption
was delivered) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Company), or such Company Optional Redemption may not
occur and such Notice of Company Optional Redemption may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been
satisfied (or waived by the Company) by such Company Optional Redemption Date, or by such Company Optional Redemption Date as so delayed.
In addition, the Company may provide in such Notice of Company Optional Redemption that payment of the Company Optional Redemption Price
and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such Company Optional Redemption may be performed by another Person.
If any such condition precedent has not been satisfied (or waived by the Company), the Company shall provide written notice to the Holders
no later than the close of business on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the applicable Company Optional Redemption Date. To the
extent any such condition precedent is satisfied (or waived by the Company) prior to the Company Optional Redemption Date, the Company
shall promptly provide written notice to the Holders of the completion of the conditions precedent. Upon the Company providing such written
notice to the Holders, the Notice of Company Optional Redemption shall be rescinded or delayed, and the Company Optional Redemption of
the Preferred Shares shall be rescinded or delayed, in each case, as provided in such Notice of Company Optional Redemption.
12. Reserved.
13. Reserved.
14. Voting
Rights. Holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to written notice of all shareholders meetings or written consents, as well
as copies of proxy materials and other information sent to shareholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as required by applicable
law or as expressly set forth herein, the holders of the Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to vote the Preferred Stock on any matter
presented to the shareholders of the Company for their action or consideration, whether at a meeting or by written consent.
42
15. Covenants.
For so long as any Preferred Stock are outstanding, without the prior written consent of the Required Holders:
(a) Incurrence
of Indebtedness. The Company shall not, nor shall the Company permit any of its Subsidiaries to, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee
or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to any Indebtedness for borrowed money, except
for Permitted Indebtedness.
(b) Existence
of Liens. The Company shall not, nor shall the Company permit any of its Subsidiaries to create, assume or suffer to exist any Lien
to secure Indebtedness on any property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries except for
Permitted Liens.
(c) Restriction
on Redemption and Cash Dividends. The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to not, directly or
indirectly, redeem, repurchase or declare or pay any cash dividend or distribution on any of its capital shares (other than as required
by this Certificate of Designations).
(d) Preservation
of Existence, Etc. The Company shall maintain and preserve, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain and preserve, its existence,
rights and privileges, and become or remain, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to become or remain, duly qualified and in good standing
in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned or leased by it or in which the transaction of its business makes
such qualification necessary; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such corporate existence of any
of its Subsidiaries if, in the judgment of the Company, the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business
of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and all material assets of any such Subsidiaries have been assigned to the Company
or another Subsidiary, in each case where such restructuring does not have a material impact on the Company’s ability to comply
with the provisions hereof.
(e) Restricted
Issuances. The Company shall not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, (i) issue any
Preferred Stock (other than as contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement and this Certificate of Designations), (ii) issue any
other securities that would cause a breach or default under this Certificate of Designations or (iii) other than where the use of proceeds
is used to (x) redeem the Preferred Stock in full or (y) refinance the Company or its Subsidiary’s Indebtedness existing as of
the Subscription Date, create, or authorize the creation of, any additional class or series of capital shares of the Company (or any
equity security convertible into or exercisable for any such class or series of capital shares of the Company) or issue or sell, or obligate
itself to issue or sell, any equity securities of the Company (or any equity security convertible into or exercisable for any such class
or series of capital shares of the Company) that ranks on par or superior (except in the case of clause (y), in which case such securities
may only rank par or junior) to the Preferred Stock as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Company or as to redemption or repurchase rights.
43
(f) Stay,
Extension and Usury Laws. To the extent that it may lawfully do so, the Company (A) agrees that it will not at any time insist upon,
plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law (wherever or whenever
enacted or in force) that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Certificate of Designations; and (B) expressly waives all
benefits or advantages of any such law and agrees that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution
of any power granted to the Holders by this Certificate of Designations, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power
as though no such law has been enacted.
(g) Taxes.
The Company and its Subsidiaries shall pay when due (taking into account all available extensions) all taxes, fees or other charges of
any nature whatsoever (together with any related interest or penalties) now or hereafter imposed or assessed against the Company and
its Subsidiaries or their respective assets or upon their ownership, possession, use, operation or disposition thereof or upon their
rents, receipts or earnings arising therefrom (except where the failure to pay would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material
adverse effect on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries). The Company and its Subsidiaries shall file on or before the due date therefor
(taking into account all available extensions) all personal property tax returns (except where the failure to file would not, individually
or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
and its Subsidiaries may contest, in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, taxes for which they maintain adequate reserves therefor
in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
(h) Variable
Rate Transaction. Neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries will be party to, enter into, effect or consummate any Variable Rate Transaction
or enter into any agreement to effect or consummate any Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction” means
a transaction in which the Company or any Subsidiary (i) issues or sells any Convertible Securities either (A) at a conversion, exercise
or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock
at any time after the initial issuance of such Convertible Securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject
to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such Convertible Securities or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent
events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock whereby the Company or any Subsidiary
may sell securities at a future determined price (other than pursuant to a customary “weighted average” anti-dilution provision
or standard and customary “preemptive” or “participation” rights). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) shares
of Common Stock issued and sold pursuant to the ATM Facility; (ii) the issuance of Excluded Securities; and (iii) the making of payments
to customers, vendors or suppliers in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice consisting of, or the consideration
for which consists of, securities subject to a variable price shall not be deemed a Variable Rate Transaction for purposes of this Section
15(h).
44
(i) Organizational
Documents. The Company shall not amend, alter, modify, or repeal this Certificate of Designations, by the adoption or amendment of
any Certificate of Designation or similar document, in each case, in any manner that materially adversely affects the rights of any of
the Holders of the Preferred Stock. The Company shall not amend, alter, modify, or repeal its Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws or
any other corporate governance document, in any manner that materially adversely affects the rights of any of the Holders of the Preferred
Stock.
(j) Agreement.
The Company shall not enter into any agreement which would substantially impair its obligations under this Certificate of Designations
or any other Transaction Document.
(k) Independent
Investigation. At the request of any Holder holding not less than $5.0 million in Stated Value of Preferred Stock either (x) at any
time when a Triggering Event has occurred and is continuing, (y) upon the occurrence of an event that with the passage of time or giving
of notice would constitute a Triggering Event or (z) at any time such Holder reasonably believes a Triggering Event may have occurred
or be continuing, the Company will permit an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by such Holder
(such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) to investigate, at the Company’s expense (provided, however, that if such investigation
is undertaken pursuant to the preceding clause (z) and, following such investigation, no Triggering Event is found to have occurred,
such investigation shall be at the Holder’s expense (and the Holder shall promptly reimburse the Company, if applicable)), as to
whether any breach of the Certificate of Designations has occurred (the “Independent Investigator”); provided that,
absent the occurrence and continuance of a Triggering Event, no more than two (2) such investigations shall be permitted in any fiscal
year. If the Independent Investigator determines that such breach of the Certificate of Designations has occurred, the Independent Investigator
shall notify the Company of such breach and the Company shall deliver written notice to each Holder of such breach. In connection with
such investigation, the Independent Investigator may, upon reasonable notice and at such reasonable times during normal business hours,
inspect all contracts, books, records, personnel, offices and other facilities and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries and,
to the extent available to the Company after the Company uses reasonable efforts to obtain them, the records of its legal advisors and
accountants (including the accountants’ work papers) and any books of account, records, reports and other papers not contractually
required of the Company to be confidential or secret, or subject to attorney-client or other evidentiary privilege, and the Independent
Investigator may make such copies and inspections thereof as the Independent Investigator may reasonably request; provided that, prior
to being permitted to engage in any such visitation, inspection or access rights provided for under this Section 15(k), such Independent
Investigator shall have executed a standard confidentiality agreement in favor of the Company on customary terms reasonably satisfactory
to the Company. The Company shall furnish the Independent Investigator with such financial and operating data and other information with
respect to the business and properties of the Company as the Independent Investigator may reasonably request. The Company shall permit
the Independent Investigator to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company with, and to make proposals and furnish advice
with respect thereto to, the Company’s officers, directors, key employees and independent public accountants or any of them (and
by this provision the Company authorizes said accountants to discuss with such Independent Investigator the finances and affairs of the
Company and any Subsidiaries), all at such reasonable times, upon reasonable notice, and as often as may be reasonably requested. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 15(k) shall not require the Company to breach any confidentiality obligations owed to third parties or to
waive the Company’s attorney-client privilege.
45
(l) Equity
Classification; Stockholders’ Equity. The Company represents, warrants and covenants to each Holder that (i) the Preferred
Stock shall be classified and treated as equity, and not as a liability, in the Company’s financial statements in accordance with
U.S. GAAP, except solely to the extent of any Derivative Liability permitted by clause (ii), (ii) neither the issuance of the Preferred
Stock nor the existence, terms or operation of the conversion rights hereunder shall result in a Derivative Liability in excess of $2,000,000
or in any Derivative Liability that would cause the Company’s stockholders’ equity to be less than the Stockholders’
Equity Requirement as of any fiscal quarter end, and (iii) the Company shall have stockholders’ equity of at least the Stockholders’
Equity Requirement as of the last day of each fiscal quarter.
(m) Affiliated
Debt. The Company shall not make any payments of principal or other payments, except for regularly scheduled payments of interest
at the non-default rate of interest, on the Endeavor Debt and/or any other Indebtedness then held by an Affiliate of the Company.
16. Liquidation,
Dissolution, Winding-Up. In the event of a Liquidation Event, the Holders shall be entitled to receive in cash out of the assets
of the Company, whether from capital or from earnings available for distribution to its shareholders (the “Liquidation Funds”),
before any amount shall be paid to the holders of any Junior Shares, but pari passu with any Parity Shares then issued, an amount per
Preferred Share equal to the greater of (x) Stated Value and (y) the amount per share such Holder would receive if such Holder converted
such Preferred Share into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the date of such payment, provided that if the Liquidation Funds
are insufficient to pay the full amount due to the Holders and holders of Parity Shares, if any, then each Holder and each holder of
Parity Shares shall receive a percentage of the Liquidation Funds equal to the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to such Holder
and such holder of Parity Shares as a liquidation preference, in accordance with their respective certificate of designations (or equivalent),
as a percentage of the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to all holders of Preferred Stock and all holders of Parity Shares. To
the extent necessary, the Company shall cause such actions to be taken by each of its Subsidiaries so as to enable, to the maximum extent
permitted by law, the proceeds of a Liquidation Event to be distributed to the Holders in accordance with this Section 16. All the preferential
amounts to be paid to the Holders under this Section 16 shall be paid or set apart for payment before the payment or setting apart for
payment of any amount for, or the distribution of any Liquidation Funds of the Company to the holders of Junior Shares in connection
with a Liquidation Event as to which this Section 16 applies.
46
17. Distribution
of Assets. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 7(a) and Section 8, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend
or other distributions of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to any or all holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return
of capital or otherwise (including without limitation, any distribution of cash, shares or other securities, property or options by way
of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (the “Distributions”),
then each Holder, as holders of Preferred Stock, will be entitled to such Distributions as if such Holder had held the number of shares
of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of the Preferred Stock (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions
on the convertibility of the Preferred Stock and assuming for such purpose that the Preferred Share was converted at the current Conversion
Price as of the applicable record date) immediately prior to the date on which a record is taken for such Distribution or, if no such
record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for such Distributions (provided,
however, that to the extent that such Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in such Holder
and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then such Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution
to the extent of any such excess over the Maximum Percentage (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common
Stock as a result of such Distribution (and beneficial ownership) to the extent of any such excess) and the portion of such Distribution
shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of such Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in such Holder
and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times, if any, such Holder shall be granted such
Distribution (and any Distributions declared or made on such initial Distribution or on any subsequent Distribution held similarly in
abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).
18. Vote
to Change the Terms of or Issue Preferred Stock. For so long as any Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding, in addition to any
other rights provided by law, except where the vote or written consent of the holders of a greater number of shares is required by law
or by another provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, without first obtaining the affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for
such purpose or the written consent without a meeting of the Required Holders, voting together as a single class, the Company shall not:
(a) amend, alter, modify or repeal any provision of, or add any provision to, its Certificate of Incorporation, or file any certificate
of designations or certificate of amendment of any series of stock, including this Certificate of Designations, if such action would
materially adversely alter or change in any respect the preferences, rights, privileges or powers, or restrictions provided for the benefit
of the Preferred Stock hereunder, regardless of whether any such action shall be by means of amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation
or by merger, consolidation or otherwise; (b) increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the authorized number of Preferred Stock;
(c) without limiting any provision of Section 2, create or authorize (by reclassification or otherwise) any new class or series of Senior
Preferred Stock or Parity Shares; (d) purchase, repurchase or redeem any Junior Shares (other than pursuant to the terms of the Company’s
equity incentive plans and options and other equity awards granted under such plans (that have in good faith been approved by the Board));
(e) without limiting any provision of Section 2, pay dividends or make any other distribution on any shares of any Junior Shares; (f)
issue any Preferred Stock other than as contemplated hereby or pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement; (g) become subject to any
agreement that would restrict the Company’s ability to perform its obligations under this Certificate of Designations; or (h) without
limiting any provision of Section 9, whether or not prohibited by the terms of the Preferred Stock, circumvent a right of the Preferred
Stock hereunder.
47
19. Transfer
of Preferred Stock. A Holder may not transfer all or any portion of its Preferred Stock without the express prior written consent
of the Company (through its Board), except for any transfer to an Affiliate of such Holder, to the Company, to YA II PN, LTD., a Cayman
Islands exempt limited company (“Yorkville”) or any of its Affiliates, or to any other Person in connection with,
or upon the exercise of, any rights or remedies of Yorkville under the Pledge and Security Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
a Holder may pledge all or any portion of its Preferred Stock to Yorkville pursuant to the Pledge and Security Agreement without the
prior written consent of the Company. Any transfer of Preferred Stock shall be in compliance with all applicable securities laws and
Sections 4.1 and 5.7 of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Any purported transfer of Preferred Stock in violation of this Certificate
of Designations shall be null and void, and no such transfer shall be recorded on the Company’s books and the purported transferee
in any such transfer shall not be treated (and the Holder proposing to make any such transfer shall continue to be treated) as the owner
of such Preferred Stock for all purposes of this Certificate of Designations. Each Holder shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by
the Company in connection with any transfer of Preferred Stock by such Holder.
20. Reissuance
of Certificates.
(a) Transfer.
If any Preferred Stock represented by a stock certificate are to be transferred, the applicable Holder shall provide written notice of
such transfer to the Company and surrender to the Company the stock certificate representing such Preferred Stock, together with a duly
executed instrument of transfer, whereupon the Company shall forthwith issue and deliver, upon the order of such Holder, a new stock
certificate registered in such name or names as such Holder may request, representing the number of Preferred Stock being transferred
by such Holder and, if less than all of the Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered stock certificate are being transferred, a
new stock certificate (in accordance with Section 20(c)) to such Holder representing the number of Preferred Stock not being transferred.
(b) Certificated
Exchangeable for Different Denominations. Each stock certificate may be exchanged by the applicable Holder, upon surrender of such
stock certificate to the Company together with written notice to the Company, for two or more new stock certificates (in accordance with
Section 20(c)) representing, in the aggregate, the number of Preferred Stock represented by the original stock certificate, and each
such new stock certificate shall represent such portion of such number of Preferred Stock represented by the original stock certificate
as is designated in writing by such Holder at the time of such surrender.
(c) Issuance
of New Certificates. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new stock certificate pursuant to the terms of this Certificate
of Designations, such new stock certificate (i) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such stock certificate, the number of Preferred
Stock then represented thereby, which, when added to the number of Preferred Stock represented by the other new stock certificate or
stock certificates issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Preferred Stock represented by the original
stock certificate immediately prior to such issuance, and (ii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new stock
certificate, which is the same as the issuance date of such original stock certificate.
48
21. Remedies,
Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designations shall
be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Certificate of Designations and any of the other Transaction
Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall
limit any Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of
this Certificate of Designations. No failure on the part of a Holder to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by such Holder of any right, power or remedy preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. In addition, the exercise of any right or
remedy of a Holder at law or equity or under this Certificate of Designations or any of the documents shall not be deemed to be an election
of such Holder’s rights or remedies under such documents or at law or equity. The Company covenants to each Holder that there shall
be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with
respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by a Holder and shall
not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company
acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holders and that the remedy at law for
any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, each Holder
shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive
or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and
without posting a bond or other security. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to a Holder that is reasonably
requested in writing by such Holder to enable such Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of
this Certificate of Designations; provided that, to the extent the Company indicates to such Holder that the requested information or
documentation may contain material non-public information, such information or documentation will not be provided to such Holder without
such Holder’s express prior written consent.
22. Payment
of Collection, Enforcement and Other Costs. If (a) any Preferred Stock are placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement
or are collected or enforced through any legal proceeding or a Holder otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under this Certificate
of Designations with respect to the Preferred Stock or to enforce the provisions of this Certificate of Designations or (b) there occurs
any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of the Company or other proceedings affecting Company creditors’ rights and involving
a claim under this Certificate of Designations, then the Company shall pay the costs reasonably incurred by such Holder for such collection,
enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding, including, without limitation,
attorneys’ fees and disbursements. The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that no amounts due under this Certificate of
Designations with respect to any Preferred Stock shall be affected, or limited, by the fact that the purchase price paid for each Preferred
Share was less than the original Stated Value thereof.
49
23. Construction;
Headings. This Certificate of Designations shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the Holders and shall not be
construed against any such Person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Certificate of Designations are for convenience of reference
and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Certificate of Designations. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise,
each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,”
“includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without
limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this
entire Certificate of Designations instead of just the provision in which they are found. Unless expressly indicated otherwise, all section
references are to sections of this Certificate of Designations. Terms used in this Certificate of Designations and not otherwise defined
herein, but defined in the other Transaction Documents, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms on the Initial Issuance Date in
such other Transaction Documents unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Required Holders.
24. Failure
or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of a Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further
exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized
representative of the waiving party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 24 shall permit any waiver of any
provision of Section 4(d).
25. Dispute
Resolution.
(a) Submission
to Dispute Resolution for Certain Matters.
(x) In
the case of a dispute relating to a Closing Bid Price, a Closing Sale Price, a Conversion Price, a VWAP or a fair market value or the
arithmetic calculation of a Conversion Rate (including, without limitation, a dispute relating to the determination of any of the foregoing),
the Company or the applicable Holder (as the case may be) shall submit the dispute to the other party via electronic mail (A) if by the
Company, within two (2) Business Days after the occurrence of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute or (B) if by such Holder
at any time after such Holder learned of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute. If such Holder and the Company are unable to
promptly resolve such dispute relating to such Closing Bid Price, such Closing Sale Price, such Conversion Price, such VWAP or such fair
market value, or the arithmetic calculation of such Conversion Rate, at any time after the tenth (10th) Business Day following such initial
notice by the Company or such Holder (as the case may be) of such dispute to the Company or such Holder (as the case may be), then such
Holder and the Company may select an independent, reputable investment bank mutually agreeable in good faith to them to resolve such
dispute.
50
(xi) Such
Holder and the Company shall each deliver to such investment bank (A) a copy of the initial dispute submission so delivered in accordance
with the first sentence of this Section 25 and (B) written documentation supporting its position with respect to such dispute, in each
case, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) by the fifth (5th) Business Day immediately following the date on which such investment
bank was selected (the “Dispute Submission Deadline”) (the documents referred to in the immediately preceding clauses
(A) and (B) are collectively referred to herein as the “Required Dispute Documentation”) (it being understood and
agreed that if either such Holder or the Company fails to so deliver all of the Required Dispute Documentation by the Dispute Submission
Deadline, then the party who fails to so submit all of the Required Dispute Documentation shall no longer be entitled to (and hereby
waives its right to) deliver or submit any written documentation or other support to such investment bank with respect to such dispute
and such investment bank shall resolve such dispute based solely on the Required Dispute Documentation that was delivered to such investment
bank prior to the Dispute Submission Deadline). Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by both the Company and such Holder or otherwise
requested by such investment bank, neither the Company nor such Holder shall be entitled to deliver or submit any written documentation
or other support to such investment bank in connection with such dispute (other than the Required Dispute Documentation).
(xii) The
Company and such Holder shall cause such investment bank to determine the resolution of such dispute and notify the Company and such
Holder of such resolution no later than ten (10) Business Days immediately following the Dispute Submission Deadline. The fees and expenses
of such investment bank shall be borne solely by the Company, and such investment bank’s resolution of such dispute shall be final
and binding upon all parties absent manifest error.
(b)
Miscellaneous. The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that( i) this Section 25 constitutes an agreement to arbitrate between
the Company and each Holder (and constitutes an arbitration agreement) under § 7501, et seq. of the New York Civil Practice Law
and Rules (“CPLR”) and that any Holder is authorized to apply for an order to compel arbitration pursuant to CPLR
§ 7503(a) in order to compel compliance with this Section 25, (ii) a dispute relating to a Conversion Price includes, without limitation,
disputes as to (A) the consideration per share at which an issuance or deemed issuance of shares of Common Stock occurred, (B) whether
any issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock was an issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of Excluded
Securities, and (C) whether an agreement, instrument, security or the like constitutes an Option or Convertible Security, (iii) the terms
of this Certificate of Designations and each other applicable Transaction Document shall serve as the basis for the selected investment
bank’s resolution of the applicable dispute, such investment bank shall be entitled (and is hereby expressly authorized) to make
all findings, determinations and the like that such investment bank determines are required to be made by such investment bank in connection
with its resolution of such dispute and in resolving such dispute such investment bank shall apply such findings, determinations and
the like to the terms of this Certificate of Designations and any other applicable Transaction Documents, (iv) either the Company or
the applicable Holder (and only such Holder with respect to disputes solely relating to such Holder), in its sole discretion, shall have
the right to submit any dispute described in this Section 25 to any state or federal court sitting in The City of New York, Borough of
Manhattan in lieu of utilizing the procedures set forth in this Section 25 and (v) nothing in this Section 25 shall limit such Holder
from obtaining any injunctive relief or other equitable remedies (including, without limitation, with respect to any matters described
in this Section 25).
51
26. Notices;
Currency; Payments.
(a) Notices.
The Company shall provide each Holder of Preferred Stock with prompt written notice of all material actions taken pursuant to the terms
of this Certificate of Designations, including in reasonable detail a description of such action and the reason therefor; provided that
the Company shall not be required to provide any such notice in connection with (x) a Conversion Notice except as set forth in Section
4 or (y) transfers of any stock certificate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and unless disclosed by the Company in
a press release or in a filing on Form 8-K, the Company shall give written notice to each Holder (i) immediately upon any adjustment
of the Conversion Price, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment and (ii) at least fifteen
(15) days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution
upon the shares of Common Stock, (B) with respect to any grant, issuances, or sales of any Options, Convertible Securities or rights
to purchase shares, warrants, securities or other property to holders of all or substantially all shares of Common Stock or (C) for determining
rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction, dissolution or liquidation, provided in each case that such information shall
be made known to the public prior to or simultaneously with such notice being provided to such Holder by issuance of press release or
the filing of Form 8-K with the SEC. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Certificate of Designations, unless otherwise
provided herein, such notice must be in writing and shall be given in accordance with Section 5.4 of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
(b) Currency.
All dollar amounts referred to in this Certificate of Designations are in United States Dollars (“U.S. Dollars”),
and all dollar amounts owing under this Certificate of Designations shall be paid in U.S. Dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies
(if any) shall be converted into the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount in accordance with the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation. “Exchange
Rate” means, in relation to any amount of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant to this Certificate of Designations,
the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the relevant date of calculation (it being understood and agreed
that where an amount is calculated with reference to, or over, a period of time, the date of calculation shall be the final date of such
period of time).
(c) Payments.
Whenever any payment of cash is to be made by the Company to any Person pursuant to this Certificate of Designations, unless otherwise
expressly set forth herein, such payment shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by wire transfer of immediately
available funds pursuant to wire transfer instructions that Holder shall provide to the Company in writing from time to time. Whenever
any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Certificate of Designations is due on any day which is not a Business Day, the same
shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day. Any amount due under the Transaction Documents in cash which
is not paid when due (except to the extent such amount is simultaneously accruing Dividends) shall result in a late charge being incurred
and payable by the Company in an amount equal to interest on such amount at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from the date such
amount was due until the same is paid in full (“Late Charge”).
52
27. Waiver
of Notice. To the extent permitted by law, the Company hereby irrevocably waives demand, notice, presentment, protest and all other
demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Certificate of Designations
and the Securities Purchase Agreement.
28. Governing
Law. This Certificate of Designations shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction,
validity, interpretation and performance of this Certificate of Designations shall be governed by, the DGCL, without giving effect to
any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the DGCL or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application
of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware. Except as otherwise required by Section 25 above, the Company and
each Holder (by acceptance of its Preferred Stock) hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal
courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, New York, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection
herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in
any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action
or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein (i) shall
be deemed or operate to preclude any Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction
to collect on the Company’s obligations to such Holder, to realize on any collateral or any other security for such obligations,
or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of such Holder or (ii) shall limit, or shall be deemed or construed to limit,
any provision of Section 25 above. THE COMPANY AND EACH HOLDER (BY ACCEPTANCE OF ITS PREFERRED STOCK) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY
RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR
ARISING OUT OF THIS CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
29. Judgment
Currency.
(a) If
for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Company in any court in any jurisdiction it becomes necessary to convert
into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 29 referred to as the “Judgment Currency”)
an amount due in U.S. dollars under this Certificate of Designations, the conversion shall be made at the Exchange Rate prevailing on
the Trading Day immediately preceding:
(x) the
date of actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of New York or in the courts of any other jurisdiction
that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date: or
53
(xi) the
date on which the foreign court determines, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the date as of which
such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 29(a)(ii) being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”).
(b) If
in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 29(a)(ii) above, there is a change in the Exchange
Rate prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the applicable party shall pay
such adjusted amount as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the Exchange Rate
prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of US dollars which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment
Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date.
(c) Any
amount due from the Company under this provision shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained
for any other amounts due under or in respect of this Certificate of Designations.
30. Severability.
If any provision of this Certificate of Designations is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a
court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to
apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not
affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Certificate of Designations so long as this Certificate of Designations as so
modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the
prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations
or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties.
The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s),
the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

adjusted for any share dividend, share split, share combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction during such period.
34. Disclosure.
Upon receipt or delivery by the Company of any notice in accordance with the terms of this Certificate of Designations, unless the Company
has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, non-public information relating to
the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, the Company shall within two (2) Business Days of such receipt or prior to (or simultaneous
with) such delivery, as applicable, publicly disclose such material, non-public information on a Current Report on Form 8-K or otherwise.
In the event that the Company believes that a notice contains material, non-public information relating to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, the Company so shall indicate to such Holder explicitly in writing in such notice (or immediately upon receipt of notice
from such Holder, as applicable), and in the absence of any such written indication in such notice (or notification from the Company
immediately upon receipt of notice from such Holder), such Holder shall be allowed to presume that information contained in the notice
does not constitute material, non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. If the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries provides material non-public information to a Holder that is not simultaneously filed in a Current Report on Form 8-K and
such Holder has not agreed to receive such material non-public information, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that such Holder
shall not have any duty of confidentiality to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees,
affiliates or agents with respect to, or a duty to any of the foregoing not to trade on the basis of, such material non-public information.
Nothing contained in this Section 34 shall limit any obligations of the Company, or any rights of any Holder, under Section 4.4 of the
Securities Purchase Agreement.
35. Absence
of Trading and Disclosure Restrictions. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Holder is a fiduciary or agent of the Company
and that, subject to such Holder’s compliance with the provisions of Section 4.6 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, each Holder
shall have no obligation to (a) maintain the confidentiality of any information provided by the Company or (b) refrain from trading any
securities while in possession of such information, in each case, in the absence of a written non-disclosure agreement signed by an officer
of such Holder that explicitly provides for such confidentiality and trading restrictions. In the absence of such an executed, written
non-disclosure agreement, the Company acknowledges that, subject to such Holder’s compliance with the provisions of Section 4.6
of the Securities Purchase Agreement, each Holder may freely trade in any securities issued by the Company, may possess and use any information
provided by the Company in connection with such trading activity, and may disclose any such information to any third party.

Registration.
(a) On
or prior to each Filing Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement covering the resale of
all of the Registrable Securities that are not then registered on an effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a
continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. Each Registration Statement filed hereunder shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not
then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate
form in accordance herewith, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e)) and shall contain (unless otherwise directed by at least
a majority in interest of the Holders) the “Plan of Distribution” section in substantially the form attached hereto as Annex
A and the “Selling Stockholder” section in substantially the form attached hereto as Annex B; provided,
however, that no Holder shall be required to be named as an “underwriter” without such Holder’s express prior written
consent; provided further, however, that if the Commission requests that any Holder be identified as a statutory underwriter in
any Registration Statement, such Holder will have the option, in its sole and absolute discretion, either to withdraw from the Registration
Statement (which shall be exercised via such Holder’s prompt written request thereof to the Company), in which case the Company’s
obligation to register such Holder’s Registrable Securities shall be deemed satisfied, or to be included as such in the Registration
Statement. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall cause a Registration Statement filed under this Agreement (including
under Section 3(c)) to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in
any event no later than the applicable Effectiveness Date, and shall use commercially reasonably efforts to keep such Registration Statement
continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date that no Holder holds any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration
Statement(the “Effectiveness Period”). The Company shall request effectiveness of a Registration Statement as of 5:00
p.m. Eastern Time on a Trading Day. The Company shall notify the Holders by e-mail of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on
the same Trading Day that the Company confirms effectiveness with the Commission, which shall be the date requested for effectiveness
of such Registration Statement. The Company shall, by 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the Trading Day after the effective date of such Registration
Statement, file a final Prospectus with the Commission as required by Rule 424. Failure to so notify the Holder within one Trading Day
of such notification of effectiveness or failure to file a final Prospectus as foresaid shall be deemed an Event under Section 2(d).
(b) Notwithstanding
the registration obligations set forth in Section 2(a), if the staff of the Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable
Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415 or other SEC Guidance, be registered for resale as a secondary offering
on a single registration statement, the Company shall promptly inform each of the Holders thereof and file amendments to the Initial
Registration Statement as required by the staff of the Commission, covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to
be registered by the staff of the Commission, on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities
as a secondary offering, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e), with respect to filing on Form S-3 or other appropriate form,
and subject to the provisions of Section 2(d) with respect to the payment of liquidated damages; provided, however, that
prior to filing such amendment, the Company shall use diligent efforts to advocate with the staff of the Commission for the registration
of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the SEC Guidance, including Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09.
(c) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement and subject to the payment of liquidated damages pursuant to Section 2(d), if the staff
of the Commission or any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a
particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with
the staff of the Commission for the registration of all or a greater portion of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in
writing by a Holder as to its Registrable Securities to register a lesser number, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered
on such Registration Statement will be reduced as follows:
(i) First,
the Company shall reduce or eliminate any securities to be included other than Registrable Securities; and
73
(ii) Second,
the Company shall reduce Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Registrable Securities
held by such Holders; provided, however, that all Warrant Shares shall be removed before any Conversion Shares are removed.
In
the event of a cutback hereunder, the Company shall give the Holder at least five Trading Days prior written notice along with the calculations
as to such Holder’s allotment. In the event the Company amends the Initial Registration Statement in accordance with the foregoing,
the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by the staff of the Commission
or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-3 or
such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Initial Registration
Statement, as amended.
(d)
If:
(i) the
Initial Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to its Filing Date (it being understood and agreed that if the Company files
the Initial Registration Statement without affording the Holders the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section
3(a) herein, the Company shall be deemed to have not satisfied this clause (i));
(ii) prior
to the effective date of a Registration Statement, the Company fails to file a pre-effective amendment and otherwise respond in writing
to comments made by the staff of the Commission in respect of such Registration Statement within ten Trading Days after the receipt of
comments by or notice from staff of the Commission that such amendment is required in order for such Registration Statement to be declared
effective;
(iii) a
Registration Statement registering for resale Registrable Securities is not declared effective by the Commission by the Effectiveness
Date of the Initial Registration Statement; or
(iv) after
the effective date of a Registration Statement, such Registration Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective as
to the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, or the Holders are otherwise not permitted to utilize the Prospectus
therein to resell such Registrable Securities, for more than 15 consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of 22 Trading Days
(which need not be consecutive Trading Days) during any 12-month period (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event”,
and for purposes of clauses (i) and (iii), the date on which such Event occurs, for purposes of clause (ii), the date on which such ten-Trading
Day period is exceeded, and for the purposes of this clause (iv), the date on which such 15-calendar day or 22-Trading Day period, as
applicable, is exceeded being referred to as “Event Date”)
then,
in addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary
of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event has not been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall
pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the (1) product of (A) 1.50% multiplied
by (B) the quotient of (I) the number of such Holder’s Registrable Securities that are not then covered by an effective Registration
Statement available for use by such Holder, divided by (II) the total number of such Holder’s Registrable Securities, multiplied
by the aggregate Subscription Amount paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that if none
of such Holder’s Registrable Securities are then covered by an effective Registration Statement available for use by such Holder,
the quotient of (I) divided by (II) in clause (1)(B) herein shall be deemed equal to 1.0; provided further, however, that in no
event shall the aggregate liquidated damages payable by the Company to a Holder under this Agreement exceed 9.0% of the aggregate Subscription
Amount paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no liquidated damages shall be payable hereunder
solely due to the inability of the Company to register for resale certain Registrable Securities as provided in Section 2(b).
74
(e) If
Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the
resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3
as soon as such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect
until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the Commission.
3. Registration
Procedures.
(a) Not
less than five Trading Days prior to the filing of each Registration Statement and not less than one Trading Day prior to the filing
of any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, the Company shall (i) furnish to each Holder copies of all such documents
proposed to be filed, which documents (other than those incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review
of such Holders, and (ii) cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent registered public accountants to respond to such
inquiries as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of respective counsel to each Holder, to conduct a reasonable investigation
within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Company shall not file a Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments
or supplements thereto to which Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities reasonably object in good faith, provided that, the
Company is notified of such objection in writing no later than three Trading Days after the Holders have been so furnished copies of
a Registration Statement or one Trading Day after the Holders have been so furnished copies of any related Prospectus or amendments or
supplements thereto. Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed questionnaire in the form attached hereto as Annex
C (a “Selling Stockholder Questionnaire”) on a date that is not less than two Trading Days prior to the Filing
Date or by the end of the fourth Trading Day following the date on which such Holder receives draft materials in accordance with this
Section 3(a).
(b) (i)
Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to a Registration Statement and the Prospectus
used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep a Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable
Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to
register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities, (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented
by any required Prospectus supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and, as so supplemented or amended, to be filed pursuant
to Rule 424, (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the Commission with respect to a Registration
Statement or any amendment thereto and provide as promptly as reasonably possible to the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence
from and to the Commission relating to a Registration Statement (provided that, the Company shall excise any information contained therein
which would constitute material non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), and (iv) comply in all material
respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable
Securities covered by a Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance (subject to the terms of this Agreement) with
the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus
as so supplemented.
(c) If
during the Effectiveness Period, the number of Registrable Securities at any time exceeds 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock
then registered in a Registration Statement, then the Company shall file as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any case prior to
the applicable Filing Date (subject to SEC Guidance), an additional Registration Statement covering the resale by the Holders of not
less than the number of such Registrable Securities.
75
(d) Notify
the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold (which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vi) hereof, be accompanied by
an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably possible (and,
in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than one Trading Day prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice
in writing no later than one Trading Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment
to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed, (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review”
of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement, and (C) with respect to
a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission or
any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional
information, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending
the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings
for that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption
from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding
for such purpose, (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration
Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated
or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to a Registration Statement,
Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of a Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (vi) of the occurrence or existence of any pending
corporate development with respect to the Company that the Company believes may be material and that, in the determination of the Company,
makes it not in the best interest of the Company to allow continued availability of a Registration Statement or Prospectus, provided,
however, in no event shall any such notice contain any information which would constitute material, non-public information regarding
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(e) Use
commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order stopping or suspending
the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of
the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.
(f) Furnish
to each Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each such Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including
financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference to the extent requested
by such Person, and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference)
promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission; provided, that any such item which is available on the EDGAR system
(or successor thereto) need not be furnished in physical form.
(g) Subject
to the terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by
each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any
amendment or supplement thereto, except after the giving of any notice pursuant to Section 3(d).
(h) Prior
to any resale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with
the selling Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from the registration or qualification) of such
Registrable Securities for the resale by the Holder under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States
as any Holder reasonably requests in writing, to keep each registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the
Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions
of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement; provided, that, the Company shall not be required to qualify generally
to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction
where it is not then so subject or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.
(i) If
requested by a Holder, cooperate with such Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable
Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted
by the Purchase Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered
in such names as any such Holder may request.
76
(j) Upon
the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(d), as promptly as reasonably possible under the circumstances taking into
account the Company’s good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to the Company and its stockholders of the premature disclosure
of such event, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to a Registration Statement or a supplement to
the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document
so that, as thereafter delivered, neither a Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Holders in accordance with clauses (iii) through (vi) of Section
3(d) above to suspend the use of any Prospectus until the requisite changes to such Prospectus have been made, then the Holders shall
suspend use of such Prospectus. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be
resumed as promptly as is practicable. The Company shall be entitled to exercise its right under this Section 3(j) to suspend
the availability of a Registration Statement and Prospectus, subject to the payment of partial liquidated damages otherwise required
pursuant to Section 2(d), for a period not to exceed 60 calendar days (which need not be consecutive days) in any 12-month period.
(k) Otherwise
use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act and
the Exchange Act, including Rule 172 under the Securities Act, file any final Prospectus, including any supplement or amendment thereof,
with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, promptly inform the Holders in writing if, at any time during the
Effectiveness Period, the Company does not satisfy the conditions specified in Rule 172 and, as a result thereof, the Holders are required
to deliver a Prospectus in connection with any disposition of Registrable Securities and take such other actions as may be reasonably
necessary to facilitate the registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder.
(l) The
Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain eligibility (or, if applicable, acquire eligibility) for use of Form S-3
(or any successor form thereto) for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities.
(m) The
Company may require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company a certified statement as to the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially
owned by such Holder and, if required by the Commission, the natural persons thereof that have voting and dispositive control over the
shares. During any periods that the Company is unable to meet its obligations hereunder with respect to the registration of the Registrable
Securities solely because any Holder fails to furnish such information within three Trading Days of the Company’s request, any
liquidated damages that are accruing at such time as to such Holder only shall be tolled and any Event that may otherwise occur solely
because of such delay shall be suspended as to such Holder only, until such information is delivered to the Company.
4. Registration
Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with, this Agreement by the Company shall be borne
by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred
to in the foregoing sentence shall (i) all registration and filing fees (including fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and
independent registered public accountants) (A) with respect to filings made with the Commission, (B) with respect to filings required
to be made with any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading, and (C) in compliance with applicable state
securities or Blue Sky laws reasonably agreed to by the Company in writing (including fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company
in connection with Blue Sky qualifications or exemptions of the Registrable Securities), (ii) printing expenses (including expenses of
printing certificates for Registrable Securities), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel
for the Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all
other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition,
the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement (including all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense
of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities
exchange as required hereunder. In no event shall the Company be responsible for any underwriter, broker or similar commissions or fees
of any Holder or, except to the extent provided for in the Transaction Documents, any legal fees or other costs of the Holders. The Company
will reimburse the costs and expense of one counsel to the Holders in connection with attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with
this Agreement after the Closing Date up to a maximum of $15,000.
77
5. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification
by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the
officers, directors, members, partners, agents, brokers (including brokers who offer and sell Registrable Securities as principal as
a result of a pledge or any failure to perform under a margin call of Common Stock), investment advisors and employees (and any other
Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title)
of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, members, stockholders, partners, agents and employees (and any other Persons with a functionally
equivalent role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of each such controlling Person,
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to
(1) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus
or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged
omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus
or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (2) any violation or alleged violation
by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection
with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements
or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for
use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of
Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement,
such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto
for this purpose) or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(d)(iii)-(vi), the use by
such Holder of an outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that
the Prospectus is outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable for use by such Holder and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the
Advice contemplated in Section 6(d). The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of
any Proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of which the Company is aware. Such
indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such indemnified person and shall
survive the transfer of any Registrable Securities by any of the Holders in accordance with Section 6(e).
(b) Indemnification
by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents
and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange
Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
from and against all Losses, as incurred, to the extent arising out of or based solely upon: any untrue or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary
prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made) not misleading (i) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information
so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company expressly for inclusion in such Registration Statement or such Prospectus or (ii)
to the extent, but only to the extent, that such information relates to such Holder’s information provided in the Selling Stockholder
Questionnaire or the proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by
such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto
for this purpose), such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability of a selling Holder be
greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such Holder in connection with any claim relating
to this Section 5 and the amount of any damages such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement
or omission) received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to
such indemnification obligation.
78
(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.
(i) If
any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”),
such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in
writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided,
that, the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities
pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
(which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the
Indemnifying Party.
(ii) An
Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but
the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party
has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such
Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding or (3) the named parties to
any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and counsel to
the Indemnified Party shall reasonably believe that a material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent
such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing
that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to
assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying
Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified
Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes
an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.
(iii) Subject
to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to
the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section
5(c)) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, within 30 Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided,
that, the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to
such actions for which such Indemnified Party is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not
subject to appeal or further review) not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.
79
(d) Contribution.
(i) If
the indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified
Party harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party,
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with
the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in
question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has
been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the Parties’ relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or
payable by a Party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any
reasonable attorneys’ or other fees or expenses incurred by such Party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such Party
would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section 5(d) was available to
such Party in accordance with its terms.
(ii) The
Parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately
preceding paragraph. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a Holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the
dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such Holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5
and the amount of any damages such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.
(iii) The
indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 5 are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties
may have to the Indemnified Parties.
6. Miscellaneous.
(a) Remedies.
In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the
Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including
recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. Each of the Company and each Holder
agrees that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the
provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach,
it shall not assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(b) No
Piggyback on Registrations; Prohibition on Filing Other Registration Statements. Neither the Company nor any of its security holders
(other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in any Registration Statements other
than the Registrable Securities. The Company shall not file any other registration statements until all Registrable Securities are registered
pursuant to a Registration Statement that is declared effective by the Commission, provided that this Section 6(b) shall not prohibit
the Company from filing amendments to registration statements filed prior to the date of this Agreement or a Registration Statement on
Form S-8 relating to any stock option or similar plan.
(c) Discontinued
Disposition. By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of
the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(d)(iii)-(vi), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition
of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the
Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed. The Company will use
commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable. The Company agrees
and acknowledges that any periods during which the Holder is required to discontinue the disposition of the Registrable Securities hereunder
shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2(d).
80
(d) Amendments
and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented,
and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by
the Company and the Holders of a majority or more of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, provided that, if any amendment, modification
or waiver disproportionately and adversely impacts a Holder (or group of Holders), the consent of such disproportionately impacted Holder
(or group of Holders) shall be required. If a Registration Statement does not register all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to
a waiver or amendment done in compliance with the previous sentence, then the number of Registrable Securities to be registered for each
Holder shall be reduced pro rata among all Holders and each Holder shall have the right to designate which of its Registrable Securities
shall be omitted from such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof
with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of a Holder or some Holders and that does not directly or indirectly
affect the rights of other Holders may be given only by such Holder or Holders of all of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver
or consent relates; provided, however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except
in accordance with the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 6(d). No consideration shall be offered or paid to any
Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered
to all of the Parties.
(e) Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be delivered as set forth
in the Purchase Agreement.
(f) Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the
Parties and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder. The Company may not assign (except by merger) its rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of all of the Holders of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. Each Holder may assign their
respective rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons as permitted under Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement (in which case,
for the avoidance of doubt, such assignee shall agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement that apply to the “Holders”).
(g) No
Inconsistent Agreements. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would
have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Except
as set forth in Schedule 3.1(v) to the Purchase Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has previously entered into
any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person that have not been satisfied in full.
(h) Execution
and Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered
one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each Party and delivered to the other Party,
it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by electronic mail
(including “.pdf” or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g. docusign.com) or other
transmission method, 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 it were an original thereof.
(i) Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be determined in
accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
(j) Cumulative
Remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.
81
(k) Severability.
If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal,
void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force
and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts
to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision,
covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the Parties that they would have executed the remaining
terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or
unenforceable.
(l) Interpretation.
The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit
or affect any of the provisions hereof. As used herein, the words “including” or “includes” shall be deemed followed
by “without limitation,” and the word “or” shall be deemed to mean “and/or.”
(m) Independent
Nature of Holders’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations
of any other Holder hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder
hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Holder
pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other
kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect
to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Holders
are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or transactions.
Each Holder shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not
be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement
with respect to the obligations of the Company contained herein was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision
of any Holder, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Holder.
It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement is between the Company and a Holder, solely, and
not between the Company and the Holders collectively and not between and among Holders.
(n) Material
Non-Public Information. If, notwithstanding the prohibition on providing the Holders with material, non-public information, any notice
or other communication delivered to the Holders hereunder contains any material, non-public information (within the meaning of the Exchange
Act) regarding the Company, the Company shall cause such material, non-public information to be publicly disseminated no later than two
Trading Days after the delivery thereof to the Holders.

Annex
A
Plan
of Distribution
Each
Selling Stockholder (the “Selling Stockholders”) of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest
may, from time to time, sell, separately or together, any or all of their securities covered hereby on the principal Trading Market or
any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be
at fixed or negotiated prices. To the extent the Selling Stockholders gift, pledge or otherwise transfer the securities offered hereby,
such transferees may offer and sell the securities from time to time under this prospectus, provided that, if required under the Securities
Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, this prospectus has been amended under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable
provision of the Securities Act, to include the name of such transferee in the list of selling securityholders under this prospectus.
A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:
● ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
● block
trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position
and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
● purchases
by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
● an
exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
● privately
negotiated transactions;
● through
one or more underwritten offerings on a firm commitment or best efforts basis;
● settlement
of short sales ;
● in
transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified
number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;
● through
the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options
exchange or otherwise;
● through
the distribution of securities by any Selling Stockholder to its partners, members or securityholders;
● a
combination of any such methods of sale; or
● any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The
Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Securities Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders have
the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of securities if they deem the purchase price to be
unsatisfactory at any particular time.
Broker-dealers
engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions
or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser)
in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in
excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or
markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.
85
In connection
with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers
or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they
assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan
or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option
or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the
delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer
or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The Selling Stockholders
may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of their securities to their broker-dealers under the margin
provisions of customer agreements or to other parties to secure other obligations. If a Selling Stockholder defaults on a margin loan
or other secured obligation, the broker-dealer or secured party may, from time to time, offer and sell the securities pledged or secured
thereby pursuant to this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the securities
will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including
Regulation M. These provisions may restrict certain activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the securities
by, the Selling Stockholders or any other person, which limitations may affect the marketability of the securities.
The Selling Stockholders
also may transfer the shares of our securities in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest
will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
A Selling Stockholder
that is an entity may elect to make a pro rata in-kind distribution of securities to its members, partners or shareholders pursuant to
the registration statement of which this prospectus is part by delivering a prospectus. To the extent that such members, partners or shareholders
are not affiliates of ours, such members, partners or shareholders would thereby receive freely tradeable securities pursuant to the distribution
through a registration statement.
The Selling Stockholders
and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the
meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents
and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities
Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly
or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
The Company is
required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed
to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act.
We agreed to keep
this prospectus effective until the earlier of the date on which (i) the securities may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without
registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144 or (ii) all of the securities have been
sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will
be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain
states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable
state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and
regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in
market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to
the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the
common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling
Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of
the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).
86
Annex B
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The common stock
being offered by the selling stockholders are those issuable to the selling stockholders, upon exercise of the warrants and conversion
of the preferred stock. For additional information regarding the issuances of those warrants and preferred stock, see “Private Placement
of Warrants and Preferred Stock” above. We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the selling stockholders
to offer the shares for resale from time to time.
The table below lists the selling
stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by each of the selling stockholders.
The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling stockholder, based on its ownership of
the shares of warrants and preferred stock, as of _________________, 2026, assuming exercise of the warrants and conversion of the preferred stock held
by the selling stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on exercises or conversions.
The third column
lists the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders.
In accordance
with the terms of a registration rights agreement with the selling stockholders, this prospectus generally covers the resale of the sum
of (i) the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock, determined as if the outstanding
shares of preferred stock were converted in full at the Floor Price (as defined in the certificate of designation for the preferred stock)
and (ii) the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, determined as if the outstanding warrants
were exercised in full as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC,
each as of the trading day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination and all subject to adjustment as provided in the
registration rights agreement, without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the warrants or conversion of the preferred stock.
The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.
Under the terms
of the warrants, a selling stockholder may not exercise the warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such selling stockholder,
together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99%
or 9.99%, as applicable, of our then outstanding common stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares
of common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants which have not been exercised. Under the certificate of designations for the preferred
stock, a selling stockholder may not convert the preferred stock to the extent such conversion would cause such selling stockholder, together
with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 19.99% of our then
outstanding common stock following such conversion, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of common stock issuable upon
conversion of such shares of preferred stock which have not been converted. The number of shares in the second and fourth columns do not
reflect these limitations. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company upon surrender of this Warrant, at any time or times
on or after the date hereof, but not after 11:59 P.M. Eastern Time on the Expiration Date (as defined herein) up to [ ] fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock (as defined herein) of the Company (the “Warrant Shares”) at the exercise price
per share provided in Section 1(b) below or as subsequently adjusted; provided, however, that in no event shall the holder be entitled
to exercise this Warrant for a number of Warrant Shares in excess of that number of Warrant Shares which, upon giving effect to such
exercise, would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates to exceed 4.99%
of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock following such exercise, (however, such restriction may be waived by Holder (but only as
to itself and not to any other holder) upon not less than 65 days prior notice to the Company). For purposes of the foregoing proviso,
the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares
of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such proviso is being made, but shall
exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised Warrants beneficially owned by
the Holder and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the
Company beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or preferred stock)
subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding
sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock a holder
may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K,
as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or its transfer agent
setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written request of any holder, the Company shall promptly, but
in no event later than 1 Business Day following the receipt of such notice, confirm in writing to any such holder the number of shares
of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect
to the exercise of Warrants (as defined below) by such holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock was reported.

(a) Subject

rata as hereinafter provided, at any time on any Business Day on or after the opening of business on such Business Day, (i) commencing
with the first day after the date hereof, and prior to 11:59 P.M. Eastern Time on the Expiration Date, by delivery of a written notice,
in the form of the subscription notice attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Exercise Notice”), of such holder’s
election to exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased, payment to the Company of
an amount equal to the Warrant Exercise Price(s) applicable to the Warrant Shares being purchased, multiplied by the number of Warrant
Shares (at the applicable Warrant Exercise Price) as to which this Warrant is being exercised (plus any applicable issue or transfer taxes)
(the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash or wire transfer of immediately available funds and the surrender of this
Warrant (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction) to a common carrier
for overnight delivery to the Company as soon as practicable following such date (“Cash Basis”) or (ii) commencing
60 days (for Warrant Shares up to 19.99% of outstanding as of closing) and 180 days (for the balance of Warrant Shares)after the issuance
of this Warrant, and prior to 11:59 P.M. Eastern Time on the Expiration Date, if at the time of exercise, the Warrant Shares are not subject
to an effective registration statement or if an Event of Default has occurred, by delivering an Exercise Notice and in lieu of making
payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price in cash or wire transfer, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number”
of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (the “Cashless Exercise”):
Net Number = (A x B) – (A
x C)
B

with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.
95
B = the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock on the date
of exercise of the Warrant.

Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.
In the event of
any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant in compliance with this Section 2, the Company shall on or before the second Business
Day following the date of receipt of the Exercise Notice, the Aggregate Exercise Price and this Warrant (or an indemnification undertaking
with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction) and the receipt of the representations of the holder specified
in Section 6 hereof, if requested by the Company (the “Exercise Delivery Documents”), and if the Warrant Shares are
subject to an effective and current Registration Statement and the Common Stock is DTC eligible, credit such aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled to the holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository
Trust Company; provided, however, if the holder who submitted the Exercise Notice requested physical delivery of any or all of the Warrant
Shares, or, if the Warrant Shares are not subject to an effective and current Registration Statement and the Common Stock is not DTC eligible
or the Company is otherwise unable to deliver the Warrant Shares electronically without any restrictive legend pursuant to applicable
securities laws upon the written opinion of outside counsel, then the Company shall, on or before the second Business Day following receipt
of the Exercise Delivery Documents, issue and surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the address specified in the Exercise
Notice, a certificate or book entry statement, registered in the name of the holder, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which
the holder shall be entitled pursuant to such request. The Warrant Shares shall be issued with a legend unless they are subject to an
effective and current Registration Statement or they are being transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements,
the availability of which is confirmed in an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent. Upon delivery of the
Exercise Notice and Aggregate Exercise Price referred to above, the holder of this Warrant shall be deemed for all corporate purposes
to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised. In the case of a dispute
as to the determination of the Warrant Exercise Price, the Closing Bid Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the
Company shall promptly issue to the holder the number of Warrant Shares that is not disputed and shall submit the disputed determinations
or arithmetic calculations to the holder via facsimile within 1 Business Day of receipt of the holder’s Exercise Notice.
(b) If
the holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the determination of the Warrant Exercise Price or arithmetic calculation of the Warrant
Shares within 1 day of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the holder, then the Company shall immediately
submit via electronic mail (i) the disputed determination of the Warrant Exercise Price or the Closing Bid Price to an independent, reputable
investment banking firm or (ii) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to its independent, outside accountant. The
Company shall cause the investment banking firm or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and
notify the Company and the holder of the results no later than 48 hours from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations.
Such investment banking firm’s or accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be deemed conclusive
absent manifest error.
96
(c) Unless
the rights represented by this Warrant shall have expired or shall have been fully exercised, the Company shall, upon the request of the
Holder, as soon as practicable and in no event later than 5 Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant
identical in all respects to this Warrant exercised except it shall represent rights to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable
immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant exercised, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which such Warrant
is exercised.
(d) No
fractional Warrant Shares are to be issued upon any pro rata exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of Warrant Shares issued
upon such exercise of this Warrant shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number.
(e) If
the Company or its Transfer Agent shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to the holder within 3 Business Days of receipt
of the Exercise Delivery Documents, a certificate or book entry statement for the number of Warrant Shares to which the holder is entitled
or to credit the holder’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company for such number of Warrant Shares to which the holder
is entitled upon the holder’s exercise of this Warrant, unless such failure results from a failure of the Company’s Transfer
Agent to issue such shares as a result of an act of terrorism, war, natural disaster, act of God or other force majeure event, the Company
shall, in addition to any other remedies under this Warrant or otherwise available to such holder, pay as additional damages in cash to
such holder on each day the issuance of such certificate for Warrant Shares is not timely effected an amount equal to 0.025% of the product
of (A) the sum of the number of Warrant Shares not issued to the holder on a timely basis and to which the holder is entitled, and (B)
the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock for the trading day immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company could have
issued such Common Stock to the holder without violating this Section 2.
(f) If
within 5 Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents, and the written request of the Holder that
a new Warrant be issued, the Company fails to deliver a new Warrant to the holder for the number of Warrant Shares to which such holder
is entitled pursuant to Section 2 hereof, then, the Holder shall be entitled to exercise or transfer its rights under such new Warrant
and the Company shall be obligated to honor such exercises or transfers as if the Holder had submitted the new Warrant without violating
this Section 2.
(g) Compliance
with Rules of Principal Market. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion
of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms and conditions
of this Warrant to the extent (but only to the extent) that after giving effect to such exercise, the number of Warrant Shares issued
under this Warrant, the Other Warrants and the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares in the
aggregate would exceed [ ] (representing 19.99% of the aggregate number of Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the date of execution of the Securities Purchase Agreement (subject to adjustment for any stock splits, combinations or the like)),
calculated in accordance with the rules of the Principal Market, which number shall be reduced, on a share-for-share basis, by the number
of Warrant Shares issued or issuable pursuant to any transaction or series of transactions that may be aggregated with the transactions
contemplated by the Agreement under the applicable
rules of the Principal Market (such maximum number of shares, the “Exchange Cap”) provided that, the Exchange Cap will not
apply if the Company’s stockholders have approved the issuance of Common Shares pursuant to this Warrant, the Other Warrants and
the Preferred Shares in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with the rules of the Principal Market (the “Shareholder Approval”).
In connection with each Exercise Notice, any portion of an exercise that would exceed the Exchange Cap shall automatically be withdrawn
with no further action required by the Company and such Exercise Notice shall be deemed automatically modified to reduce the aggregate
Warrant Shares exercised by an amount equal to such withdrawn portion in respect of each Exercise Notice.
97
Section 3. Covenants as to Common
Stock. The Company hereby covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) This
Warrant is, and any Warrants issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant will upon issuance be, duly authorized and validly
issued.
(b) All
Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
(c) During
the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved
at least 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock needed to provide for the exercise of the rights then represented by this Warrant
and the par value of said shares will at all times be less than or equal to the applicable Warrant Exercise Price. If at any time the
Company does not have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available, then the Company shall call and hold a special
meeting of its stockholders within 60 days of that time for the sole purpose of increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock.
(d) Unless
the Warrant Shares are already registered for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement, if at any time after the date hereof
the Company shall file a registration statement, the Company shall include the Warrant Shares issuable to the holder, pursuant to the
terms of this Warrant and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all Warrant
Shares from time to time issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant; and the Company shall so list on each national securities exchange
or automated quotation system, as the case may be, and shall maintain such listing of, any other shares of capital stock of the Company
issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant if and so long as any shares of the same class shall be listed on such national securities
exchange or automated quotation system.
(e) The
Company will not, by amendment of its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance
or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed by it hereunder, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying
out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by the holder of this Warrant
in order to protect the exercise privilege of the holder of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the
tenor and purpose of this Warrant. The Company will not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise
of this Warrant above the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) will take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate
in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this
Warrant.
98
(f) This
Warrant will be binding upon any entity succeeding to the Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all
of the Company’s assets.
Section 4. Taxes.
The Company shall pay any and all taxes, except any applicable withholding, which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery
of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.
Section 5. Warrant
Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, no holder, as such, of this Warrant shall be entitled
to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of capital stock of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained
in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the holder hereof, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right
to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation,
merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance
to the holder of this Warrant of the Warrant Shares which he or she is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant.
In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on such holder to purchase any securities
(upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company
or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 5, the Company will provide the holder of this Warrant with copies of the
same notices and other information given to the stockholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the
stockholders.
Section 6. Representations
of Holder. The holder of this Warrant, by the acceptance hereof, represents that it is acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares
for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution
of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act; provided, however, that
by making the representations herein, the holder does not agree to hold this Warrant or any of the Warrant Shares for any minimum or other
specific term and reserves the right to dispose of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a
registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act. The holder of this Warrant further represents, by acceptance hereof,
that, as of this date, such holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D promulgated
by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act (an “Accredited Investor”). Upon exercise of this
Warrant the holder shall, if requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that the Warrant Shares
so purchased are being acquired solely for the holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, for investment, and
not with a view toward distribution or resale and that such holder is an Accredited Investor. If such holder cannot make such representations
because they would be factually incorrect, it shall be a condition to such holder’s exercise of this Warrant that the Company receive such
other representations as the Company considers reasonably necessary to assure the Company that the issuance of its securities upon exercise
of this Warrant shall not violate any United States or state securities laws.
99
Section 7. Ownership and Transfer.
(a) The
Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice
to the holder hereof), a register for this Warrant, in which the Company shall record the name and address of the person in whose name
this Warrant has been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee. The Company may treat the person in whose name any Warrant
is registered on the register as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but in all
events recognizing any transfers made in accordance with the terms of this Warrant.
Section 8. Adjustment of Warrant
Exercise Price. The Warrant Exercise Price of this Warrant shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(a) Reserved.
(b) Adjustment
of Warrant Exercise Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time after the date of issuance of
this Warrant subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares
of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, any Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately
reduced and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately increased. If the Company
at any time after the date of issuance of this Warrant combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes
of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, any Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately
decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 8(b) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination
becomes effective.
(c) Distribution
of Assets. If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets)
to holders of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or
other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement or other similar transaction)
(a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case (without duplication of
any adjustment pursuant to Section 8(b)):
(i) any Warrant Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock
entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined
by multiplying such Warrant Exercise Price by a fraction of which (A) the numerator shall be the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock
on the trading day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company’s
Board of Directors) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (B) the denominator shall be the Closing Sale Price of the Common
Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such record date; and
100
(ii) either
(A) the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the number
of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders
of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the immediately preceding
clause (i), or (B) in the event that the Distribution is of common stock of a company whose common stock is traded on a national securities
exchange or a national automated quotation system, then the holder of this Warrant shall receive an additional warrant to purchase Common
Stock, the terms of which shall be identical to those of this Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the amount of
the assets that would have been payable to the holder of this Warrant pursuant to the Distribution had the holder exercised this Warrant
immediately prior to such record date and with an exercise price equal to the amount by which the exercise price of this Warrant was decreased
with respect to the Distribution pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding clause (i).
(d) Certain
Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 8 but not expressly provided for by such provisions
(including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features),
then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares
of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the holders of the Warrants; provided, that no
such adjustment pursuant to this Section 8(d) will increase the Warrant Exercise Price or decrease the number of shares of Common Stock
obtainable as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 8.
(e) Voluntary
Adjustments By Company. The Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any
amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.
(f) Notices.
(i) Immediately
upon any adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price, the Company will give written notice thereof to the holder of this Warrant, setting
forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment.
(ii) The Company will
give written notice to the holder of this Warrant at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes
a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, (B) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer
to holders of Common Stock or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Organic Change (as defined below), dissolution or
liquidation, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided
to such holder.
101
(iii) The
Company will also give written notice to the holder of this Warrant at least 10 days prior to the date on which any Organic Change, dissolution
or liquidation will take place, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such
notice being provided to such holder.
Section 9. Purchase Rights; Reorganization,
Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.
(a) In
addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 8 above, 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 Common Stock (the “Purchase
Rights”), then the holder of this Warrant will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the
aggregate Purchase Rights which such holder could have acquired if such holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable
upon complete exercise of this Warrant 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.
(b) Any
recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets
to another Person or other transaction in each case which is effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive
(either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities, cash or other assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock
is referred to herein as an “Organic Change.” Prior to the consummation of any Organic Change, the Company shall make
appropriate provision (in form and substance satisfactory to the holders of Warrants representing a majority of the Warrant Shares issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding) to insure that each of the holders of the Warrants will thereafter have the right to acquire
and receive in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable and receivable upon

of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict
of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of
any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Superior
Court of the state courts sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York and the Federal District Court for the Southern District

Re: Big Digital Energy, Inc.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel
to Big Digital Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the issue and sale on the date
hereof (the “Transaction”), of an aggregate of 16,700 shares (the “Preferred Shares”) of the Company’s
convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, designated as “Series D Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Series
D Preferred Stock”) convertible into shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common
Stock”), to be issued by the Company to the Purchasers at an issuance price of $1,000 per Preferred Share and common stock purchase
warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 926,748 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”), pursuant
to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, by and among the Company and the Purchasers, dated as of the date hereof (the “Purchase
Agreement”). Each Preferred Share is entitled to dividends payable in the form of additional Preferred Shares (the “PIK
Shares”). Each Preferred Share and PIK Share is convertible into up to 555 shares of Common Stock, assuming a Floor Price equal
to 20% of the closing price of the Common Stock immediately prior to the closing date of $1.80 (as subject to adjustment as defined in
the Certificate of Designations (as defined below)) (each, an “Underlying Share”).
This opinion letter is being
provided to you at the request of the Company pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(vi) of the Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein
and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.
In our capacity as such counsel,
we have examined, among other things, originals, or copies identified to our satisfaction as being true copies, of the following:
(a) the Purchase Agreement;
(b) the
Certificate of Designations with respect to the Series D Preferred Stock of the Company, as filed with the Delaware Secretary of State
on June 29, 2026 (the “Certificate of Designations”);
(c) the
Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Company and the Purchasers (the “Registration Rights
Agreement”);
(d) the Warrants;
(e) the
Letter Agreement regarding Pledge, Transfer and Assignment of Series D Preferred Stock and Warrants (the “Letter Agreement,”
and collectively with the Purchase Agreement, the Certificate of Designations, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Warrants, the
“Transaction Documents”); and
(f) such
other records, certificates, documents and instruments, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, as we have considered necessary
or appropriate for purposes of this opinion letter.
In our capacity as such counsel,
we have also reviewed such questions of law as we have considered necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion letter.
In rendering our opinions set
forth below, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the genuineness of all signatures and the
conformity to authentic originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. In rendering our opinions set forth below, we have also
assumed the legal capacity for all purposes relevant hereto of all natural persons and, with respect to all parties to agreements or
instruments relevant hereto, that such parties had the requisite power and authority (corporate or otherwise) to execute, deliver and
perform such agreements or instruments and that such agreements or instruments have been duly authorized by all requisite action (corporate
or otherwise), executed and delivered by such parties (other than the Company with respect to the Transaction Documents). In addition,
in rendering our opinions set forth below, we have assumed that all agreements and instruments relevant hereto are the valid, binding
and enforceable obligations of all parties thereto (other than the Company with respect to the Transaction Documents). As to questions
of fact material to our opinions, we have relied upon the representations and warranties of the Company, and the Purchasers contained
in the Transaction Documents and on certificates or comparable documents of officers and other representatives of the Company and of
public officials.

Six Thirty AI, LLC
June 30, 2026
Our opinions expressed below
as to certain factual matters are qualified as being limited “to our knowledge” or by other words to the same or similar effect.
Such words, as used herein, mean the information known to Cam Hoang and Joshua Pleitz, the attorneys at Dorsey & Whitney LLP who have
represented the Company in connection with the issuance of the Preferred Shares and the Warrants and the other transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents, in connection with their representation of the Company. No other inference as to our knowledge with respect
to such matters should be drawn from the fact of our representation of the Company.
Our opinions expressed in
this letter are subject to the limitation that offers or sales of securities in the United States by or for the Company prior to or following
the completion of the Transaction may be integrated with the Transaction or with conversions of the Preferred Shares or with exercises
of the Warrants in the United States and render unavailable the exemption from registration relied upon by the Company in connection therewith.
We therefore offer no opinion as to the effect any such offers or sales (except for conversions of the Preferred Shares and the PIK Shares
issued in the Transaction by the original purchasers in the Transaction in the manner described in paragraph 6 below, and exercises of
the Warrants by the original purchasers in the Transaction in the manner described in paragraph 4 below) may have upon the availability
of any exemptions relied upon by the Company in connection with the Transaction or with conversions of the Preferred Shares in the United
States.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
1. The
Company is validly existing as a corporation and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with corporate power to execute,
deliver and perform each of the Transaction Documents.
2. The
Preferred Shares and the PIK Shares have been duly authorized, and, upon issuance, delivery and payment therefor as described in the Purchase
Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free of preemptive or similar rights.
3. The
Warrants have been duly authorized, and, upon issuance, delivery and payment therefor as described in the Purchase Agreement, will constitute
the valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms.
4. The
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants have been duly and validly authorized and when issued and paid for upon the exercise
of the Warrants in accordance with the terms therein, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free of preemptive or similar
rights.
5. Each
of the Transaction Documents has been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action and executed by the Company and constitute valid
and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.
6. The Underlying Shares
issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and the PIK Shares have been duly and validly authorized, and, upon conversion in accordance
with the Purchase Agreement and the Certificate of Designations, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free of preemptive
or similar rights.

Six Thirty AI, LLC

7. No consent, approval, authorization or
order of, and no notice to or filing with,any governmental agency or body or any court in the United States or any person pursuant
to any agreement or instrument included as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2025, or the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026 (collectively,
the “Material Agreements”) is required to be obtained or made by the Company for the issuance of the Preferred Shares,
the PIK Shares, the Underlying Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares, except (i) the filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “Commission”) of one or more Registration Statements in accordance with the requirements of the
Registration Rights Agreement, (ii) filings required by applicable state securities laws, (iii) the filing of a Notice of Sale of
Securities on Form D with the Commission under Regulation D of the Securities Act, (iv) the filing of any applications to the NASDAQ
Capital Market for the trading thereon in the time and manner required thereby, and (v) those that have been made or obtained prior
to the date hereof.
8. The
execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents, the issuance and sale of the Preferred Shares and the
Warrants and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby will not (a) violate the Company’s certificate
of incorporation or bylaws, (b) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a
default under any Material Agreement, (c) result in the violation of the provisions of Applicable Law (as defined below), or (d) result
in any lien on any property of the Company pursuant to the express terms of any Material Agreement.
9. The
Company is not, and after giving effect to the issuance of (a) the Preferred Shares, the PIK Shares and the Underlying Shares and (b)
the Warrants and the Warrant Shares will not be, required to register as an “investment company” within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
10. The
issuance of (a) the Preferred Shares, the PIK Shares, the Underlying Shares and (b) the Warrants and the Warrant Shares to the original
purchasers in the manner contemplated by the Purchase Agreement does not require registration under the Securities Act.
The opinions set forth above are subject to the following
qualifications and exceptions:
(A) Our
opinion set forth in paragraph 1 above relating to the valid existence and good standing of the Company under the laws of the State of
Delaware, relies solely upon a Certificate of Good Standing certified by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on June 29, 2026.
(B) Our
opinions are qualified by and subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws
relating to or affecting the relief of debtors or the rights and remedies of creditors generally, including without limitation the effect
of statutory or other law regarding fraudulent conveyances, preferential transfers and equitable subordination.
(C) Our
opinions are qualified by and subject to the effect of general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality,
reasonableness and the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding
in equity or at law, and judicial decisions holding that certain provisions are unenforceable when their enforcement would violate the
implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, or would be commercially unreasonable or involve undue delay.
(D) We
express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision contained in any Transaction Document relating to any indemnification, contribution,
non-reliance, exculpation, release, limitation or exclusion of remedies, waiver or other provisions having similar effect that may be
contrary to public policy or violate federal or state securities laws, rules or regulations, or to the extent any such provision purports
to, or has the effect of, waiving or altering any statute of limitations.
(E) In
rendering our opinion in paragraph 7 above, we express no opinion with respect to any consent, approval, authorization or order of, or
notice to or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court required generally in connection with the business or operations
of the Company.
111
Six Thirty AI, LLC
June 30, 2026
(F) In
rendering our opinion in paragraph 10 above, we have assumed that the Company will, within prescribed time periods, prepare and file any
forms or notices required under the Securities Act in connection with the issuance of the Preferred Shares and the Underlying Shares and
the Warrants and the Warrant Shares.
(G) Our
opinion set forth in paragraph 10 relates only to the registration requirements of the Securities Act and we have not considered any other
law in rendering such opinion. In particular, we express no opinion on compliance with state or federal requirements for the registration
of broker-dealers. We further express no opinion concerning the availability of any exemption from registration under state securities
or “blue sky” laws of any state of the United States.
(H) Our
opinions are based on the assumption that the exercise price of the Warrants will at all times be equal to or greater than the par value
of the Common Stock and assume that no adjustment will be made to such exercise price that would cause such exercise price to be less
than the par value of the Common Stock.
(I) We
express no opinion as to the enforceability of (i) provisions that relate to choice of law, forum selection or submission to jurisdiction
(including, without limitation, any express or implied waiver of any objection to venue in any court or of any objection that a court
is an inconvenient forum) to the extent that the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any such provision is to be determined
by any court other than a state court of the State of New York, (ii) waivers by the Company of any statutory or constitutional rights
or remedies, (iii) terms which excuse any person or entity from liability for, or require the Company to indemnify such person or entity
against, such person’s or entity’s negligence or willful misconduct or (iv) obligations to pay any prepayment premium, default interest
rate, early termination fee or other form of liquidated damages, if the payment of such premium, interest rate, fee or damages may be
construed as unreasonable in relation to actual damages or disproportionate to actual damages suffered as a result of such prepayment,
default or termination.
(J) We
draw your attention to the fact that, under certain circumstances, the enforceability of terms to the effect that provisions may not be
waived or modified except in writing may be limited.
(K) Our
opinions do not extend to any licenses, permits or other authorizations or approvals necessary for the conduct of the business of the
Company; further, we express no opinion, in such paragraphs or otherwise, as to zoning, subdivision, environmental, planning, land use
or similar laws; building, fire, access, safety or similar codes; or statutes, ordinances, administrative decisions, rules and regulations
of counties, cities, towns, municipalities, special political subdivisions and the like (whether created or enacted through federal, state
or regional action).
Our opinions expressed above
are limited to New York law, Delaware law and the federal laws of the United States of America (collectively, “Applicable Laws”)
normally applicable to financing transactions of the type contemplated by the Transaction Documents and we express no opinion with respect
to the applicability of any other laws.
This opinion letter is furnished
to you solely for your benefit and may only be relied upon by you. It may not be used or relied upon by you for any other purpose or
by any other person, nor may copies be delivered to any other person, without, in each instance, our prior written consent; provided,
however, that such permitted reliance shall not imply or establish an attorney-client relationship between such relying party and
Dorsey & Whitney LLP with respect to the matters covered by this opinion letter, and such relying party, by relying on our opinion,
disclaims any such attorney-client relationship with respect to the matters covered by this opinion letter. We understand that the Warrants
will be transferred to YA II PN, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“YA”), and that YA has been granted a security
interest in the Preferred Shares and the Underlying Shares issuable upon conversion thereof. Accordingly, Yorkville Advisors LLC and
YA may also rely on this opinion letter as if a recipient hereof. This opinion letter is expressly limited to the matters set forth above,
and we render no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any other matters. We assume no obligation to update or supplement
this opinion letter to reflect any facts, circumstances, events or developments which hereafter may be brought to our attention and which
may alter, affect or modify the opinions expressed herein, or any future changes in laws.

at the Purchaser’s expense, such reasonable documentation as may be requested by the Agent or any Permitted Transferee in connection
with the pledge, security interest, or transfer contemplated hereby, consistent with the Company’s obligations under Section 4(h)
of the SPA (or any substantially similar provision thereof).
(c) The Company represents that, as of the date hereof, it has
not issued any stop-transfer instructions to its transfer agent with respect to the Preferred Shares or the Warrants that would prohibit
or impede the pledge, transfer, or assignment contemplated by this Agreement (other than customary restrictive legends as required under
applicable securities laws and the Transaction Documents).
4
(d) The Company will, or will cause the Transfer Agent (as applicable)
to, mark its records, by book-entry or otherwise, to indicate the pledge of, and Agent’s security interest in, the Pledged Securities.
To the best of the Company’s knowledge, and except for Lender's security interest, and as of the date hereof (a) the Pledged Securities
are identified on the Company’s books and records, by book-entry or otherwise, as being owned by Purchaser; (b) the Company has
identified on its books and records the Pledged Securities as being pledged to the Agent; and (c) the Company has not created, nor has
the Company received notice of any liens, claims or encumbrances with respect
to the Pledged Securities, except to Agent. The Company agrees, and agrees to the cause the Transfer Agent (as applicable) to, not to
effect any transfer of the Purchaser’s interest in any of the Pledged Securities without Agent’s prior written consent. Should
the Company receive further written notice from Agent, the Company will hold the Pledged Securities and all dividends, distributions,
and other proceeds relating to the Pledged Securities (whether in cash, securities or other property) subject to Agent’s written
instructions. In addition, the Company will not enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of Transaction Documents without the
prior written consent of the Agent. The Company will comply with all written instructions originated by Agent concerning the Pledged Securities
without further consent by the Purchaser and Purchaser agrees that it will not give any contrary instructions. At the Agent’s request
if Agent deems it reasonably necessary to perfect its security interest in the Pledge Securities, the Company will cause the Transfer
Agent to enter a control agreement in customary form with the Agent.
(e) Purchaser agrees that whenever it may exercise any right or
remedy under the Transaction Documents or may otherwise give instructions to the Company under any Transaction Document, it will only
do so in consultation with, and upon the consent of, the Agent.
Section 9. Representations.
Each Party hereby represents

hereunder, (b) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed, and delivered by such Party, and (c) this Agreement constitutes a legal,
valid, and binding obligation of such Party, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited
by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general
equitable principles.
The Company further represents
to Agent that the Pledged Securities are, or will be on issuance, duly authorized are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and
(ii) (A) are not subject to preemptive or similar rights, (B) are not subject to any transfer restrictions other than as set forth in
the Transaction Documents. The Company hereby further agrees that Agent may rely on the representations and warranties of the COmpany
in the Securities Purchase Agreement as if Agent was the recipient thereof.

2. Shelf
Registration.
(a) On
or prior to each Filing Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement covering the resale of all
of the Registrable Securities that are not then registered on an effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous
basis pursuant to Rule 415. Each Registration Statement filed hereunder shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible
to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate form in
accordance herewith, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e)) and shall contain (unless otherwise directed by at least a majority
in interest of the Holders) the “Plan of Distribution” section in substantially the form attached hereto as Annex A
and the “Selling Stockholder” section in substantially the form attached hereto as Annex B; provided, however,
that no Holder shall be required to be named as an “underwriter” without such Holder’s express prior written consent;
provided further, however, that if the Commission requests that any Holder be identified as a statutory underwriter in any Registration
Statement, such Holder will have the option, in its sole and absolute discretion, either to withdraw from the Registration Statement (which
shall be exercised via such Holder’s prompt written request thereof to the Company), in which case the Company’s obligation
to register such Holder’s Registrable Securities shall be deemed satisfied, or to be included as such in the Registration Statement.
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall cause a Registration Statement filed under this Agreement (including under Section
3(c)) to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event no later
than the applicable Effectiveness Date, and shall use commercially reasonably efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously
effective under the Securities Act until the date that no Holder holds any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement(the
“Effectiveness Period”). The Company shall request effectiveness of a Registration Statement as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern
Time on a Trading Day. The Company shall notify the Holders by e-mail of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on the same Trading
Day that the Company confirms effectiveness with the Commission, which shall be the date requested for effectiveness of such Registration
Statement. The Company shall, by 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the Trading Day after the effective date of such Registration Statement, file
a final Prospectus with the Commission as required by Rule 424. Failure to so notify the Holder within one Trading Day of such notification
of effectiveness or failure to file a final Prospectus as foresaid shall be deemed an Event under Section 2(d).
(b) Notwithstanding
the registration obligations set forth in Section 2(a), if the staff of the Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable
Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415 or other SEC Guidance, be registered for resale as a secondary offering
on a single registration statement, the Company shall promptly inform each of the Holders thereof and file amendments to the Initial Registration
Statement as required by the staff of the Commission, covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered
by the staff of the Commission, on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary
offering, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e), with respect to filing on Form S-3 or other appropriate form, and subject
to the provisions of Section 2(d) with respect to the payment of liquidated damages; provided, however, that prior to filing
such amendment, the Company shall use diligent efforts to advocate with the staff of the Commission for the registration of all of the
Registrable Securities in accordance with the SEC Guidance, including Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09.
(c) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement and subject to the payment of liquidated damages pursuant to Section 2(d), if the staff of
the Commission or any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular
Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the staff
of the Commission for the registration of all or a greater portion of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by
a Holder as to its Registrable Securities to register a lesser number, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration
Statement will be reduced as follows:
(i) First,
the Company shall reduce or eliminate any securities to be included other than Registrable Securities; and
3
(ii) Second,
the Company shall reduce Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Registrable Securities held
by such Holders; provided, however, that all Warrant Shares shall be removed before any Conversion Shares are removed.
In the event of
a cutback hereunder, the Company shall give the Holder at least five Trading Days prior written notice along with the calculations as
to such Holder’s allotment. In the event the Company amends the Initial Registration Statement in accordance with the foregoing,
the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by the staff of the Commission
or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-3 or
such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Initial Registration
Statement, as amended.
(d) If:
(i) the
Initial Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to its Filing Date (it being understood and agreed that if the Company files the
Initial Registration Statement without affording the Holders the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section
3(a) herein, the Company shall be deemed to have not satisfied this clause (i));
(ii) prior
to the effective date of a Registration Statement, the Company fails to file a pre-effective amendment and otherwise respond in writing
to comments made by the staff of the Commission in respect of such Registration Statement within ten Trading Days after the receipt of
comments by or notice from staff of the Commission that such amendment is required in order for such Registration Statement to be declared
effective;
(iii) a
Registration Statement registering for resale Registrable Securities is not declared effective by the Commission by the Effectiveness
Date of the Initial Registration Statement; or
(iv) after
the effective date of a Registration Statement, such Registration Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective as
to the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, or the Holders are otherwise not permitted to utilize the Prospectus
therein to resell such Registrable Securities, for more than 15 consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of 22 Trading Days
(which need not be consecutive Trading Days) during any 12-month period (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event”,
and for purposes of clauses (i) and (iii), the date on which such Event occurs, for purposes of clause (ii), the date on which such ten-Trading
Day period is exceeded, and for the purposes of this clause (iv), the date on which such 15-calendar day or 22-Trading Day period, as
applicable, is exceeded being referred to as “Event Date”)
then, in addition
to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of
each such Event Date (if the applicable Event has not been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall
pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the (1) product of (A) 1.50% multiplied
by (B) the quotient of (I) the number of such Holder’s Registrable Securities that are not then covered by an effective Registration
Statement available for use by such Holder, divided by (II) the total number of such Holder’s Registrable Securities, multiplied
by the aggregate Subscription Amount paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that if none
of such Holder’s Registrable Securities are then covered by an effective Registration Statement available for use by such Holder,
the quotient of (I) divided by (II) in clause (1)(B) herein shall be deemed equal to 1.0; provided further, however, that in no
event shall the aggregate liquidated damages payable by the Company to a Holder under this Agreement exceed 9.0% of the aggregate Subscription
Amount paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no liquidated damages shall be payable hereunder
solely due to the inability of the Company to register for resale certain Registrable Securities as provided in Section 2(b).
4
(e) If
Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale
of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon
as such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until
such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the Commission.
3. Registration
Procedures.
(a) Not
less than five Trading Days prior to the filing of each Registration Statement and not less than one Trading Day prior to the filing of
any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, the Company shall (i) furnish to each Holder copies of all such documents
proposed to be filed, which documents (other than those incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review
of such Holders, and (ii) cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent registered public accountants to respond to such inquiries
as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of respective counsel to each Holder, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the
meaning of the Securities Act. The Company shall not file a Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or supplements
thereto to which Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities reasonably object in good faith, provided that, the Company is notified
of such objection in writing no later than three Trading Days after the Holders have been so furnished copies of a Registration Statement
or one Trading Day after the Holders have been so furnished copies of any related Prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto. Each
Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed questionnaire in the form attached hereto as Annex C (a “Selling
Stockholder Questionnaire”) on a date that is not less than two Trading Days prior to the Filing Date or by the end of the fourth
Trading Day following the date on which such Holder receives draft materials in accordance with this Section 3(a).
(b) (i)
Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to a Registration Statement and the Prospectus
used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep a Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable
Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to register
for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities, (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented
by any required Prospectus supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and, as so supplemented or amended, to be filed pursuant
to Rule 424, (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the Commission with respect to a Registration
Statement or any amendment thereto and provide as promptly as reasonably possible to the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence
from and to the Commission relating to a Registration Statement (provided that, the Company shall excise any information contained therein
which would constitute material non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), and (iv) comply in all material
respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable
Securities covered by a Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance (subject to the terms of this Agreement) with
the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus
as so supplemented.
(c) If
during the Effectiveness Period, the number of Registrable Securities at any time exceeds 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock
then registered in a Registration Statement, then the Company shall file as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any case prior to the
applicable Filing Date (subject to SEC Guidance), an additional Registration Statement covering the resale by the Holders of not less
than the number of such Registrable Securities.
5
(d) Notify
the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold (which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vi) hereof, be accompanied by
an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably possible (and,
in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than one Trading Day prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice
in writing no later than one Trading Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment
to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed, (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review”
of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement, and (C) with respect to
a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission or
any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional
information, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending
the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for
that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption
from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding
for such purpose, (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration
Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated
or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to a Registration Statement,
Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of a Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (vi) of the occurrence or existence of any pending
corporate development with respect to the Company that the Company believes may be material and that, in the determination of the Company,
makes it not in the best interest of the Company to allow continued availability of a Registration Statement or Prospectus, provided,
however, in no event shall any such notice contain any information which would constitute material, non-public information regarding
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(e) Use
commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order stopping or suspending
the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of
the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.
(f) Furnish
to each Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each such Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including
financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference to the extent requested
by such Person, and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference)
promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission; provided, that any such item which is available on the EDGAR system (or
successor thereto) need not be furnished in physical form.
(g) Subject
to the terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by
each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any
amendment or supplement thereto, except after the giving of any notice pursuant to Section 3(d).
(h) Prior
to any resale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with
the selling Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from the registration or qualification) of such
Registrable Securities for the resale by the Holder under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States
as any Holder reasonably requests in writing, to keep each registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the
Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of
the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement; provided, that, the Company shall not be required to qualify generally
to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction
where it is not then so subject or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.
(i) If
requested by a Holder, cooperate with such Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable
Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted
by the Purchase Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered
in such names as any such Holder may request.
6
(j) Upon
the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(d), as promptly as reasonably possible under the circumstances taking into
account the Company’s good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to the Company and its stockholders of the premature disclosure
of such event, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to a Registration Statement or a supplement to
the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document
so that, as thereafter delivered, neither a Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Holders in accordance with clauses (iii) through (vi) of Section
3(d) above to suspend the use of any Prospectus until the requisite changes to such Prospectus have been made, then the Holders shall
suspend use of such Prospectus. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be
resumed as promptly as is practicable. The Company shall be entitled to exercise its right under this Section 3(j) to suspend
the availability of a Registration Statement and Prospectus, subject to the payment of partial liquidated damages otherwise required
pursuant to Section 2(d), for a period not to exceed 60 calendar days (which need not be consecutive days) in any 12-month period.
(k) Otherwise
use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act and
the Exchange Act, including Rule 172 under the Securities Act, file any final Prospectus, including any supplement or amendment thereof,
with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, promptly inform the Holders in writing if, at any time during the Effectiveness
Period, the Company does not satisfy the conditions specified in Rule 172 and, as a result thereof, the Holders are required to deliver
a Prospectus in connection with any disposition of Registrable Securities and take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to
facilitate the registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder.
(l) The
Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain eligibility (or, if applicable, acquire eligibility) for use of Form S-3
(or any successor form thereto) for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities.
(m) The
Company may require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company a certified statement as to the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially
owned by such Holder and, if required by the Commission, the natural persons thereof that have voting and dispositive control over the
shares. During any periods that the Company is unable to meet its obligations hereunder with respect to the registration of the Registrable
Securities solely because any Holder fails to furnish such information within three Trading Days of the Company’s request, any liquidated
damages that are accruing at such time as to such Holder only shall be tolled and any Event that may otherwise occur solely because of
such delay shall be suspended as to such Holder only, until such information is delivered to the Company.
4. Registration
Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with, this Agreement by the Company shall be borne
by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred
to in the foregoing sentence shall (i) all registration and filing fees (including fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and
independent registered public accountants) (A) with respect to filings made with the Commission, (B) with respect to filings required
to be made with any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading, and (C) in compliance with applicable state securities
or Blue Sky laws reasonably agreed to by the Company in writing (including fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company in connection
with Blue Sky qualifications or exemptions of the Registrable Securities), (ii) printing expenses (including expenses of printing certificates
for Registrable Securities), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company,
(v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained
by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, the Company shall
be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement (including all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any
annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange
as required hereunder. In no event shall the Company be responsible for any underwriter, broker or similar commissions or fees of any
Holder or, except to the extent provided for in the Transaction Documents, any legal fees or other costs of the Holders. The Company will
reimburse the costs and expense of one counsel to the Holders in connection with attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with this
Agreement after the Closing Date up to a maximum of $15,000.
7
5. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification
by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the
officers, directors, members, partners, agents, brokers (including brokers who offer and sell Registrable Securities as principal as a
result of a pledge or any failure to perform under a margin call of Common Stock), investment advisors and employees (and any other Persons
with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of each
of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act) and the officers, directors, members, stockholders, partners, agents and employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent
role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of each such controlling Person, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to (1) any untrue
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any
amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement
thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (2) any violation or alleged violation by the Company
of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance
of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements or omissions are
based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to
the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities
and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement, such Prospectus or in
any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose) or
(ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(d)(iii)-(vi), the use by such Holder of
an outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is
outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable for use by such Holder and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated
in Section 6(d). The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding arising
from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of which the Company is aware. Such indemnity shall remain
in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such indemnified person and shall survive the transfer
of any Registrable Securities by any of the Holders in accordance with Section 6(e).
(b) Indemnification
by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents
and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange
Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
from and against all Losses, as incurred, to the extent arising out of or based solely upon: any untrue or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary
prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made) not misleading (i) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information
so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company expressly for inclusion in such Registration Statement or such Prospectus or (ii)
to the extent, but only to the extent, that such information relates to such Holder’s information provided in the Selling Stockholder
Questionnaire or the proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such
Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for
this purpose), such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability of a selling Holder be greater
in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such Holder in connection with any claim relating to this
Section 5 and the amount of any damages such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission)
received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification
obligation.
8
(c) Conduct
of Indemnification Proceedings.
(i) If
any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”),
such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in
writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided,
that, the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities
pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which
determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying
Party.
(ii) An
Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but
the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party
has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such
Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding or (3) the named parties to
any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and counsel to the
Indemnified Party shall reasonably believe that a material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent
such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing
that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to
assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying
Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified
Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes
an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.
(iii) Subject
to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the
extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section
5(c)) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, within 30 Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided,
that, the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such
actions for which such Indemnified Party is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject
to appeal or further review) not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.
(d) Contribution.
(i) If
the indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified
Party harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party,
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with
the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in
question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has
been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the Parties’ relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or
payable by a Party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable
attorneys’ or other fees or expenses incurred by such Party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such Party would have
been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section 5(d) was available to such Party
in accordance with its terms.
9
(ii) The
Parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately
preceding paragraph. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a Holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the
dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such Holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5
and the amount of any damages such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.
(iii) The
indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 5 are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties
may have to the Indemnified Parties.
6. Miscellaneous.
(a) Remedies.
In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the
Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery
of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. Each of the Company and each Holder agrees that
monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions
of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall
not assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(b) No
Piggyback on Registrations; Prohibition on Filing Other Registration Statements. Neither the Company nor any of its security holders
(other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in any Registration Statements other than
the Registrable Securities. The Company shall not file any other registration statements until all Registrable Securities are registered
pursuant to a Registration Statement that is declared effective by the Commission, provided that this Section 6(b) shall not prohibit
the Company from filing amendments to registration statements filed prior to the date of this Agreement or a Registration Statement on
Form S-8 relating to any stock option or similar plan.
(c) Discontinued
Disposition. By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the
occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(d)(iii)-(vi), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition
of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the
Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed. The Company will use commercially
reasonable efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable. The Company agrees and acknowledges
that any periods during which the Holder is required to discontinue the disposition of the Registrable Securities hereunder shall be subject
to the provisions of Section 2(d).
10
(d) Amendments
and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented,
and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
Company and the Holders of a majority or more of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, provided that, if any amendment, modification
or waiver disproportionately and adversely impacts a Holder (or group of Holders), the consent of such disproportionately impacted Holder
(or group of Holders) shall be required. If a Registration Statement does not register all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a
waiver or amendment done in compliance with the previous sentence, then the number of Registrable Securities to be registered for each
Holder shall be reduced pro rata among all Holders and each Holder shall have the right to designate which of its Registrable Securities
shall be omitted from such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof
with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of a Holder or some Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect
the rights of other Holders may be given only by such Holder or Holders of all of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent
relates; provided, however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance
with the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 6(d). No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend
or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the
Parties.
(e) Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be delivered as set forth
in the Purchase Agreement.
(f) Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the
Parties and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder. The Company may not assign (except by merger) its rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of all of the Holders of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. Each Holder may assign their respective
rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons as permitted under Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement (in which case, for the avoidance
of doubt, such assignee shall agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement that apply to the “Holders”).
(g) No
Inconsistent Agreements. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would
have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Except
as set forth in Schedule 3.1(v) to the Purchase Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has previously entered into
any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person that have not been satisfied in full.
(h) Execution
and Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered
one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each Party and delivered to the other Party,
it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by electronic mail
(including “.pdf” or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g. docusign.com) or other
transmission method, 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 it were an original thereof.
(i) Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be determined in
accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
(j) Cumulative
Remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.
(k) Severability.
If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal,
void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force
and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to
find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision,
covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the Parties that they would have executed the remaining
terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
11
(l) Interpretation.
The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or
affect any of the provisions hereof. As used herein, the words “including” or “includes” shall be deemed followed
by “without limitation,” and the word “or” shall be deemed to mean “and/or.”
(m) Independent
Nature of Holders’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations
of any other Holder hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder
hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Holder
pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind
of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to
such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Holders
are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or transactions.
Each Holder shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not
be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement
with respect to the obligations of the Company contained herein was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of
any Holder, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Holder.
It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement is between the Company and a Holder, solely, and
not between the Company and the Holders collectively and not between and among Holders.
(n) Material
Non-Public Information. If, notwithstanding the prohibition on providing the Holders with material, non-public information, any notice
or other communication delivered to the Holders hereunder contains any material, non-public information (within the meaning of the Exchange
Act) regarding the Company, the Company shall cause such material, non-public information to be publicly disseminated no later than two
Trading Days after the delivery thereof to the Holders.

Annex A
Plan of Distribution
Each Selling Stockholder
(the “Selling Stockholders”) of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may,
from time to time, sell, separately or together, any or all of their securities covered hereby on the principal Trading Market or any
other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at
fixed or negotiated prices. To the extent the Selling Stockholders gift, pledge or otherwise transfer the securities offered hereby, such
transferees may offer and sell the securities from time to time under this prospectus, provided that, if required under the Securities
Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, this prospectus has been amended under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision
of the Securities Act, to include the name of such transferee in the list of selling securityholders under this prospectus. A Selling
Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:
● ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
● block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position
and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
● purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
● an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
● privately negotiated transactions;
● through one or more underwritten offerings on a firm commitment or best efforts basis;
● settlement of short sales ;
● in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number
of such securities at a stipulated price per security;
● through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options
exchange or otherwise;
● through the distribution of securities by any Selling Stockholder to its partners, members or securityholders;
● a combination of any such methods of sale; or
● any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The Selling Stockholders may
also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders have the sole and absolute discretion not to
accept any purchase offer or make any sale of securities if they deem the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.
Broker-dealers engaged by
the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts
from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts
to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a
customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in
compliance with FINRA IM-2440.
15
In connection with the sale
of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial
institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling
Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities
to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with
broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer
or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution
may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The Selling Stockholders
may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of their securities to their broker-dealers under the margin
provisions of customer agreements or to other parties to secure other obligations. If a Selling Stockholder defaults on a margin loan
or other secured obligation, the broker-dealer or secured party may, from time to time, offer and sell the securities pledged or secured
thereby pursuant to this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the securities
will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including
Regulation M. These provisions may restrict certain activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the securities
by, the Selling Stockholders or any other person, which limitations may affect the marketability of the securities.
The Selling Stockholders
also may transfer the shares of our securities in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest
will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
A Selling Stockholder that
is an entity may elect to make a pro rata in-kind distribution of securities to its members, partners or shareholders pursuant to the
registration statement of which this prospectus is part by delivering a prospectus. To the extent that such members, partners or shareholders
are not affiliates of ours, such members, partners or shareholders would thereby receive freely tradeable securities pursuant to the distribution
through a registration statement.
The Selling Stockholders
and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the
meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents
and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities
Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly
or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
The Company is required to
pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify
the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
We agreed to keep this prospectus
effective until the earlier of the date on which (i) the securities may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and
without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144 or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant
to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through
registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale
securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption
from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and
regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market
making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement
of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the Selling
Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them
of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule
172 under the Securities Act).

Annex B
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The common stock being offered
by the selling stockholders are those issuable to the selling stockholders, upon exercise of the warrants and conversion of the preferred
stock. For additional information regarding the issuances of those warrants and preferred stock, see “Private Placement of Warrants
and Preferred Stock” above. We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the
shares for resale from time to time.
The table below lists the
selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by each of the selling stockholders.
The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling stockholder, based on its ownership of
the shares of warrants and preferred stock, as of__________________, 2026, assuming
exercise of the warrants and conversion of the preferred stock held by the selling stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations
on exercises or conversions.
The third column lists the
shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders.
In accordance with the terms
of a registration rights agreement with the selling stockholders, this prospectus generally covers the resale of the sum of (i) the maximum
number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock, determined as if the outstanding shares of preferred
stock were converted in full at the Floor Price (as defined in the certificate of designation for the preferred stock) and (ii) the maximum
number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, determined as if the outstanding warrants were exercised in full
as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC, each as of the trading
day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination and all subject to adjustment as provided in the registration rights agreement,
without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the warrants or conversion of the preferred stock. The fourth column assumes the
sale of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.
Under the terms of the warrants,
a selling stockholder may not exercise the warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such selling stockholder, together with its
affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99% or 9.99%, as applicable,
of our then outstanding common stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of common stock issuable
upon exercise of such warrants which have not been exercised. Under the certificate of designations for the preferred stock, a selling
stockholder may not convert the preferred stock to the extent such conversion would cause such selling stockholder, together with its
affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 19.99% of our then outstanding
common stock following such conversion, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of
such shares of preferred stock which have not been converted. The number of shares in the second and fourth columns do not reflect these
limitations. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

Exhibit 99.1
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Big Digital Energy announces partnership with
10NetZero to Acquire Power-Ready Hood County, Texas Site for AI Datacenter Development
50/50 joint venture targets a phased buildout
of up to 311 MW on a site with live power and grid headroom
MIDLAND, PA — July 6, 2026 — Big Digital Energy,
Inc. (“We,” “Big Digital” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: “BGDE”), a developer and operator
of next-generation digital infrastructure, today announced that it had entered into a 50/50 joint venture with energy-infrastructure company
10NetZero, with a signed a letter of intent to acquire a live powered industrial site in Hood County, Texas, and to develop it into a
large-scale datacenter campus serving artificial intelligence (“AI”) tenants. The Company also engaged Northland Capital Markets
to act as a financial advisor in relation to the Company’s evaluation of AI/high-performance computing (“HPC”) uses
for the Company’s power assets, including site level financing and partnership opportunities.
Josh Kilgore, Chairman of Big Digital commented “Our planned
acquisition of the 50% interest in the Hood County site and partnership with 10NetZero is a prime example of our efforts to leverage our
powered land expertise and pipeline to identify and acquire attractive AI ready sites. The planned transactions illustrate management’s
commitment to accelerating the Company’s transition into an AI datacenter developer and operator in order to maximize value to all
Big Digital stakeholders.”
Cody Smith, COO of Big Digital commented “The Hood County site
would give us live power and a path to up to hundreds of megawatts, which would let us deliver capacity to AI customers years ahead of
a comparable greenfield project. Partnering with 10NetZero would pair that site with deep energy-infrastructure capability, and we intend
to move quickly.”
The approximately 50-acre Hood County site contains over 30,000 square
feet of existing structures the partnership intends to repurpose for datacenter use as well as an administrative office which will be
utilized as the Command Center. The Hood County site already carries 17 MW of operational power and will be expandable up to 111 MW of
grid power, subject to validation by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (“ERCOT”). On-site are two 12-inch and one
20-inch natural-gas pipelines providing the option to add behind-the-meter generation, supporting a buildout to as much as 311 MW of operating
capacity. The acquisition would bring the Company’s total operational MWs to 146 MW, and the Company is actively evaluating expansion
opportunities within its current powered land portfolio as well as potential acquisitions from the private powered land portfolio of an
affiliate of its executive management team.

Exhibit 99.2
Texas Load House A Power-Ready ERCOT Site with a Three-Track Path to 300+ MW Big Digital Energy is planning to acquire a power-ready industrial site in the Dallas–Fort Worth area (ERCOT) and develop it into a large- scale AI datacenter. The site is power-ready today with 17 MW of operational ERCOT power, with 111.6 MW subject to validation by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas ("ERCOT"). On-site gas infrastructure — two 12-inch lines and a 24-inch line — supports behind-the- meter expansion. Capital deploys across three independent, complementary tracks: an AI-leaning on-grid Phase 1, an institutional grid powered-shell, and behind-the-meter gas generation — scaling to 300+ MW of available capacity at full deployment. 17 MW O P E R AT I O N A L E R C O T P O W E R TO D AY 74 MW Y E A R - 1 TA R G E T C A PA C I T Y ( F R O M 1 7 M W TO D AY ) 111.6 MW P O T E N T I A L G R I D H E A D R O O M 300+ MW AVA I L A B L E C A PA C I T Y AT F U L L D E P L O Y M E N T ~$485M C O M B I N E D S TA B I L I Z E D N O I ( M I D C A S E ) ~13.6% B L E N D E D U N L E V E R E D Y I E L D ( M I D C A S E ) P O W E R - R E A D Y E R C O T S I T E · T H R E E - T R A C K D A T A C E N T E R D E V E L O P M E N T · J U N E 2 0 2 6 D A L L A S – F O R T W O R T H A R E A T R A C K · ~ 5 0 A C R E S Confidential — prepared by Big Digital Energy Inc 1
A S S E T & P O W E R A Power-Ready ERCOT Site The site's edge is timing: it carries live ERCOT power today and a path to substantial additional capacity subject to ERCOT validation, while on-site gas lines (two 12-inch and one 24-inch, in service) support behind-the-meter generation in parallel, subject to a confirmed tap/ interconnect. In a market where new interconnections sit in multi-year queues, power-ready beats power-promised — this is among the most capital-efficient routes to large-scale ERCOT-area compute available in 2026.

Few sites combine an active interconnection, major on-site gas lines, water, expansion land, and an existing operating footprint — and that combination is what makes the three-track structure possible. 17 MW L I V E O P E R AT I O N A L P O W E R 111.6 MW P O T E N T I A L G R I D H E A D R O O M 24″ O N - S I T E G A S L I N E S ( 2 × 1 2 ″ + 2 4 ″ ) · B E H I N D - T H E - M E T E R O P T I O N A L I T Y Confidential — prepared by Big Digital Energy Inc 2
S T R A T E G I C T H E S I S Three Tracks, One Asset The opportunity is structured as three independent but complementary tracks, so capital can be deployed at the scale, timeline, and risk profile that fits each counterparty. The tracks are sequenced to compound: Track 1 will secure the site and anchor early AI colocation cash flow; Track 3 will reach in-service ahead of Track 2. At full deployment the site operates 300+ MW of available infrastructure capacity.

P A R T N E R S H I P S & E X E C U T I O N The Team Behind the Buildout Big Digital Energy owns and leads the project, in a joint venture with energy-infrastructure partner 10NetZero and with Vinco engaged to lead engineering, design, and go-to-market. The combination pairs site control and power with behind-the-meter generation capability and a dedicated AI-conversion engineering and tenant-origination team — aligned to a single mandate: bringing firm power to the AI market faster than a greenfield project can. J O I N T V E N T U R E — 1 0 N E T Z E R O BDE and energy-infrastructure partner 10NetZero plan to acquire and develop the site as a joint venture, pairing BDE's datacenter development with 10NetZero's energy-infrastructure and behind-the-meter generation capability — directly relevant to the Track 3 on-site gas buildout. E N G I N E E R I N G & G O - TO - M A R K E T — V I N C O Vinco (San Mateo, CA) leads engineering and design, ROM cost and schedule, and tenant origination / structured leasing with neo-cloud and hyperscale operators. Vinco recently delivered a 15 MW legacy-facility-to-AI conversion with VADD Construction Services and is backed by a growth investment from Bridgepointe Technologies. W H Y N O W ERCOT structural shortage. Texas is short of power-ready compute sites at peak AI demand; new interconnections in queue today are not in service until late this decade. Potential headroom. The April 2026 capacity study points to a path to 111 MW of additional grid capacity, subject to ERCOT validation. Sequencing advantage. Track 1 cash flow will fund the development window; Track 3 will reach in-service early, proving execution; Track 2 will follow as the lowest-risk grid build. Each track de-risks the next. Optionality. Active interconnection + on-site gas lines (2 × 12″ + 24″) + water + expansion land + an operating footprint — a combination few sites offer.
