Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Convertible Promissory Notes

On August 9, 2022, Xos, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a note purchase agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with Aljomaih Automotive Co. (“Aljomaih”) under which the Company agreed to sell and issue to AAC a convertible promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $20.0 million, which is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), cash or a combination of cash and Common Stock, at the Company’s election, in the manner and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement and Note. Upon the mutual consent of both parties on or before November 30, 2022, the Company has also agreed to issue and sell additional convertible notes up to a principal amount of $20.0 million to Aljomaih, on terms and conditions to be negotiated in good faith.

The maturity date of the Note is August 11, 2025, unless earlier converted or redeemed. The Note bears interest at a rate of 10.0% per annum, payable at maturity in validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, calculated based on the 10-day volume weighted average price ending on the trading day immediately prior to the applicable payment date (the “Interest Shares”), unless earlier converted or paid.

The Note provides a conversion right, in which Aljomaih may, on or after November 9, 2022, elect to convert the outstanding principal amount of the Note by providing written notice to the Company. The conversion price for the Note will initially be equal to $2.3817 per share, subject to adjustment in certain events pursuant to the terms of the Note. Aljomaih may also elect to convert the entire principal amount of the Note upon a transaction resulting in the change of control of the Company, by written notice to the Company within ten business days of receipt of notice of such change of control transaction.

The Company shall not effect the conversion of any portion of the Note and/or deliver Interest Shares, and Aljomaih shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note or receive Interest Shares, in each case, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Note and any such conversion or payment of Interest Shares shall be null and void and treated as if never made to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion or payment of Interest Shares, Aljomaih would beneficially own in excess of 19.99% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or the aggregate number of shares issued under the Note Purchase Agreement would exceed 19.99% of the Company’s common stock outstanding on the date that the Company enters into the Note Purchase Agreement, except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) for issuances of shares of Common Stock in excess of such amount.

On or after August 11, 2024, or as otherwise agreed to between the Company and Aljomaih in writing, the Company shall have the right, exercisable on not less than five trading days prior



written notice to Aljomaih, to prepay the outstanding Note (principal and accrued and unpaid interest), in full or in part, and without penalty, in accordance with the terms of the Note.

The Note includes customary covenants and sets forth certain events of default after which the Note may be declared immediately due and payable and sets forth certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency events of default involving the Company after which the Note becomes automatically due and payable.

The Company has also agreed to grant Aljomaih a right to designate one individual for nomination (the “Designated Director”) to the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), subject to the approval of the Company and the Board and satisfaction of certain conditions. The Designated Director will be designated for nomination as a Class I director and a member of the Board as soon as reasonably practicable and shall continue as a director of the Board until the earlier of the date that (i) Aljomaih first no longer owns at least 5% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (ii) is 30 days immediately prior to the next election of Class I directors (the “Director Right Termination Date”). The Designated Director will execute a written consent agreeing to resign no later than the Director Right Termination Date and upon the request of the Board in connection with a change of control. If the Designated Director ceases to serve as a member of the Board at any time prior to the Director Right Termination Date, then Aljomaih shall be permitted to nominate another individual as a Designated Director pursuant to the provisions set forth in Section 6(a) therein, provided that any such right to designate a replacement Designated Director shall terminate on the Director Right Termination Date or the date of resignation of a Designated Director due to a change of control.

In addition, the Company has agreed to give Aljomaih a right of first offer (“Right of First Offer”) with respect to any future distribution of products or services offered by the Company in Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Oman), Jordan, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt and Yemen. The Right of First Offer will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the first date Aljomaih no longer holds 5% of the Company’s then outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (ii) August 9, 2025.

As soon as practicable after September 1, 2022, but no later than September 16, 2022, the Company is required to file a registration statement registering the resale by Aljomaih of any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

The Note Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification obligations by each party. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Note Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of the Note Purchase Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement and are subject to certain important limitations.

The foregoing descriptions of the Note Purchase Agreement and the Note are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, which are attached to this Current



Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.1 and 4.1, respectively, and which are incorporated herein by reference.

Convertible Debentures

On August 9, 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with YA II PN, Ltd. (“Yorkville”) under which the Company agreed to sell and issue to Yorkville convertible debentures (the “Convertible Debentures”) in the principal amount of up to $35.0 million, which are convertible into shares of Common Stock, subject to certain conditions and limitations set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement. $20.0 million in principal amount of Convertible Debentures was issued on August 11, 2022, and an additional $15.0 million in principal amount will be issued to Yorkville upon the effectiveness of the registration statement registering the resale of Common Stock resulting from the conversion of the Convertible Debentures. Yorkville is a fund managed by Yorkville Advisors Global, LP, headquartered in Mountainside, New Jersey.

The Convertible Debentures bear interest at an annual rate of 6.0%, payable at maturity, which will increase to an annual rate of (i) 10.0% upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, and (ii) 7.5% for so long as “Registration Event” (as defined in the Convertible Debenture) remains in effect in accordance with the registration rights agreement by and between the Company and Yorkville, dated August 9, 2022 (the “Yorkville RRA”). The maturity date of the Convertible Debentures shall be November 11, 2023, which may be extended by an additional three months in certain instances.

The Convertible Debentures provide a conversion right, in which Yorkville may, at any time after the issuance date, convert any portion of the principal amount of the Convertible Debenture, together with any accrued but unpaid interest, into shares of Common Stock at the lower of (i) $2.4733 per share (the conversion price pursuant to this clause (i), the “Fixed Conversion Price”) or (ii) 97% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock during the three trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion (but not lower than a floor price of $0.50 per share, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Debentures) (the conversion price pursuant to this clause (ii), the “Variable Conversion Price”).

The Company shall not issue any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of any Convertible Debentures, or otherwise, if the issuance of such Common Stock, together with any Common Stock issued in connection with any other related transactions that may be considered part of the same series of transactions, would exceed 33,199,327 shares (the “Exchange Cap”), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of Nasdaq for issuances of shares of Common Stock in excess of such amount. In addition, Yorkville has agreed that it (i) will not convert any portion of the Debentures prior to September 9, 2022 (the “Conversion Start Date”), (ii) it will not convert more than an aggregate amount of $4,000,000 in principal at the Variable Conversion Price during (A) the 30-day period commencing on the Conversion Start Date or (B) any successive 30-day period thereafter (each such 30-day period described in (A) and (B), a “30-Day Period”) and (iii) it will use commercially reasonable efforts to convert at least



$2,000,000 of principal amount of Convertible Debentures in each 30-Day Period, provided that the certain conditions set forth in the Convertible Debentures are satisfied as of each such period.

If, at any time after the issue date of the Convertible Debentures, and from time to time thereafter, (i) the daily VWAP (as defined in the Convertible Debenture) of the Common Stock is less than the $0.50 floor price for five consecutive trading days, or (ii) the Company has issued pursuant to the Convertible Debenture in excess of 95% of the Common Stock available under the Exchange Cap (the last such day of each such occurrence, a “Triggering Date”), then the Company shall make monthly prepayments of $3,000,000 principal amount in the aggregate among the Convertible Debentures outstanding (provided that, subject to certain conditions, such amount shall instead be $4,000,000) (or the outstanding principal if less than such amount) (such amount, the “Triggered Principal Amount”) beginning on the 10th calendar day after the Triggering Date and continuing on the same day of each successive calendar month. Each monthly prepayment shall be an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Triggered Principal Amount, plus (ii) a redemption premium equal to 5.0% of such Triggered Principal Amount, plus (iii) accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding Convertible Debentures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Convertible Debentures, each Triggered Principal Amount may be reduced in certain circumstances or the obligation of the Company to make monthly prepayments may cease.

The Convertible Debentures provide the Company, subject to certain conditions, with a redemption right pursuant to which the Company, upon 10 business days’ prior written notice to Yorkville (a “Redemption Notice”), may redeem in cash, in whole or in part, any amounts outstanding under the Convertible Debentures. Each redemption payment will be the principal amount of the Convertible Debentures to be redeemed, plus a redemption premium equal to 5.0% of the principal amount being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding Convertible Debentures. The Company may exercise this redemption right at any time after the issue date of the Convertible Debentures, and from time to time thereafter, but only if the daily VWAP of the Common Stock is less than the Fixed Conversion Price for a period of three consecutive trading days immediately prior to the notice for such redemption. Yorkville shall have 10 business days after receipt of a Redemption Notice to elect to convert all or any portion of the Convertible Debentures.

The Convertible Debentures include customary covenants and set forth certain events of default after which the Convertible Debentures may be declared immediately due and payable and set forth certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency events of default involving the Company after which the Convertible Debentures become automatically due and payable.

In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company and Yorkville entered into the Yorkville RRA pursuant to which the Company is required to file a registration statement registering the resale by Yorkville of any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures under the Securities Act. The Company is required to file such registration statement no later than 30 days following the execution date of the Yorkville RRA.




Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed not to effect an advance under the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement, dated March 23, 2022, by and between Yorkville and the Company (the “SEPA”), without the advance mutual consent of both parties, until the earliest of the date (i) all Convertible Debentures have been repaid or converted into Common Stock or (ii) Yorkville no longer has any right or ability to convert any portion of the Convertible Debentures into Common Stock (collectively, the “Consent Termination Date”). Yorkville agreed to extend the term set forth in the SEPA for a number of days equal to the number of days between the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Consent Termination Date. For the avoidance of doubt and subject to the foregoing, the SEPA shall remain in full force and effect from the date hereof until the termination of the SEPA pursuant to the terms thereof.

The Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification obligations by each party. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of the Securities Purchase Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement and are subject to certain important limitations.

The foregoing descriptions of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Yorkville RRA and Convertible Debentures are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Yorkville RRA and form of Convertible Debenture, which are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.2, 10.3, and 4.2, respectively, and which are incorporated herein by reference.

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information contained above in Item 1.01 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities.

The information contained above in Item 1.01 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.

The Note was issued to Aljomaih in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act in a transaction not involving any public offering. The Company relied on this exemption from registration based in part on representations made by Aljomaih in the Note Purchase Agreement. The Note and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note, if any, have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.




The Convertible Debenture was issued to Yorkville in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act in a transaction not involving any public offering. The Company relied on this exemption from registration based in part on representations made by Yorkville in the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Convertible Debentures and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures, if any, have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

To the extent that any shares of Common Stock are issued upon conversion of the Notes or the Convertible Debentures, they will be issued in transactions anticipated to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 3(a)(9) thereof because no commission or other remuneration is expected to be paid in connection with conversion of the Notes or Convertible Debentures and any respective resulting issuance of shares of Common Stock.

Optional Prepayment Notice and before the related Optional Prepayment Date; (iii) the Company will use the same Settlement Method for all conversions of Notes with the same Conversion Date; and (iv) if the Company does not timely elect a Settlement Method with respect to the conversion of this Note, then the Company will be deemed to have elected the Default Settlement Method (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the failure to timely make such election will not constitute an Event of Default).
The Company will have the right, in its sole discretion and exercisable at its election by sending notice of such exercise to the Investors, to irrevocably fix the Settlement Method that will apply to all conversions of Notes with a Conversion Date that occurs on or after the date such notice is sent to Investors; provided that (x) the Settlement Method so elected must be a Settlement Method that the Company is then permitted to elect; (y) no such irrevocable election will affect any Settlement Method theretofore elected (or deemed to be elected); and (z) the Default Settlement Method will automatically be deemed to be set to the Settlement Method so fixed. Such notice, if sent, must set forth the applicable Settlement Method and expressly state that the election is irrevocable and applicable to all conversions of Notes with a Conversion Date that occurs on or after the date such notice is sent to Investors. For the avoidance of doubt, such an irrevocable election, if made, will be effective without the need to amend this Note.

(ii)Any Investor (including for purposes of this Section 5(m)(ii) any successor, assign, participant or other transferee) that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax (including, without limitation, any withholding tax imposed under any of IRC Sections 1441 – 1446, IRC Sections 1471 – 1474, and/or IRC Sections 3401 – 3406) under the law of the United States, or an applicable treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under the Note or any other Note Document shall deliver to the Company, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and at any times reasonably requested by the Company, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, on or prior to the date of this Note and upon any future transfer or assignment in accordance with Section 5(a),
(1)if Investor is a “United States Person” as defined in IRC Section 7701(a)(30), it shall deliver to the Company a duly executed United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9; and
(2)if Investor is not such a United States Person (a “Foreign Investor”), such Foreign Investor shall deliver to the Company (i) a duly executed United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, and (ii) if the Foreign Investor is eligible to claim exemption from United States federal withholding tax under IRC Section 871(h) or 881(c) with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” a certificate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company representing that such Investor is not a bank for purposes of IRC Section 881(c), is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of IRC Section 871(h)(3)(B)) of the Company and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Company (within the meaning of IRC Section 864(d)(4))).

10


partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Investor shall provide a certificate on behalf of each direct and indirect partner representing that such direct and indirect partner is not a bank for purposes of IRC Section 881(c), is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of IRC Section 871(h)(3)(B)) of the Company and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Company (within the meaning of IRC Section 864(d)(4))). To the extent the forms and other documentation described in this Section 5(m)(ii)(2) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the portfolio interest certificate specified in Section 5(m)(ii)(2)(ii)) are provided by Investor to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company, the Company agrees to treat all interest paid or payable pursuant to this Note as “portfolio interest” exempt from United States federal withholding tax under IRC Section 871(h) or 881(c) unless otherwise required due to a change in applicable law or by a tax authority in connection with an audit or other similar proceeding.
(iii)If a payment made to Investor in connection with this Note would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if Investor were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in IRC Section 1471(b) or 1472(b), as applicable), Investor shall deliver to Company at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by IRC Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i)) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company as may be necessary for the Company to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that Investor has complied with Investor’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from payments to such Investor. FATCA” means (a) IRC Sections 1471 through 1474, as of the date of this Note (or any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof and any agreement entered into pursuant to IRC Section 1471(b)(1), (b) any treaty, law, regulation or other official guidance enacted in any other jurisdiction, or relating to an intergovernmental agreement between the United States and any other jurisdiction with the purpose (in either case) of facilitating the implementation of (a) above, and (c) any agreement pursuant to the implementation of paragraphs (a) or (b) above with the United States Internal Revenue Service, the United States government or any governmental or taxation authority in the United States.
(iv)Investor agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall deliver promptly to the Company updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Company).
(v)The Company shall establish and maintain a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which it agrees to register by book entry Investor’s and each subsequent assignee’s name and address and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of Investor’s and each subsequent assignee’s interest in the Note. Any Investor that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the participated Notes (the “Participant Register”); provided such Investor shall have no obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant) to the Company except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that the Note is in registered form under Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c). The entries in the Register and the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error. This Section 5(m)(v) shall be construed so that the Note is at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of IRC Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) and any related regulations (or any successor provisions of the IRC or such regulations).
11


(vi)The Company and Investor agree to treat all amounts borrowed pursuant to this Note as debt for all U.S. federal and state income tax purposes, and, in accordance with Section 385(c) of the IRC, such characterization shall be binding upon Investor and the Company (along with their successors and assigns) and they shall prepare and file their U.S. federal and state tax returns and reports consistent with such treatment unless otherwise required due to a change in applicable law or by a tax authority in connection with an audit or other similar proceeding.
(n)Right of Setoff. The Company hereby grants to Investor a right of setoff for all the obligations of the Company under this Note and related documents to Investor, whether now existing or hereafter arising upon and against all deposits, credits and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of Investor or any entity under the control of Investor (including a subsidiary of Investor) or in transit to any of them, and other obligations owing to Investor or any such entity. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without demand or notice, Investor may setoff the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligations of the Company under this Note and related documents even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the obligations of the Company under this Note and related documents.

If, at any time after the Issuance Date set forth above, and from time to time thereafter, (i) the daily VWAP of the Common Stock is less than the Floor Price for five consecutive Trading Days, or (ii) the Company has issued pursuant to this Debenture in excess of 95% of the Common Shares available under the Exchange Cap (the last such day of each such occurrence, a “Triggering Date”), then the Company shall make monthly prepayments of $3,000,000 in the aggregate among this Debenture and all Other Debentures (provided that, if the Triggering Date is on or after the publication of the Company’s quarterly report for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 and the Cash Runway Ratio as of the applicable Triggering Date is less than 1.00, such amount shall instead be $4,000,000) of Principal (or the outstanding Principal if less than such amount) (the “Triggered Principal Amount”) beginning on the 10th calendar day after the Triggering Date and continuing on the same day of each successive calendar month. The prepayment price for each monthly prepayment shall be an amount equal to the sum of (i) an amount of Principal equal to the Triggered Principal Amount, plus (ii) the Redemption Premium (as defined below) in respect of such Triggered Principal Amount, plus (iii) accrued and unpaid interest hereunder as of each payment date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Triggered Principal Amount shall be reduced by any Principal and/or accrued and unpaid interest converted by the Holder in the 30 days prior to such monthly prepayment date. The obligation of the Company to make monthly prepayments hereunder shall cease and the Triggered Principal Amount, if otherwise increased pursuant to the proviso of the first sentence of this clause (a), shall reduce to $3,000,000 (with respect to any payment that has not yet come due) if any time after the Triggering Date (A) either (i) the Company provides the Holder a reset notice (each, a “Floor Reset Notice”) setting forth a reduced Floor Price which shall be equal to no more than 85% of the Closing Price as of the Trading Day immediately prior to the Floor Reset Notice, provided that such Floor Price shall not be less than $0.50, or (ii) the daily VWAP is greater than the Floor Price a period of 3 consecutive Trading Days, (B) in the event that the Triggering Date was caused by the issuance pursuant to this Debenture in excess of 95% of the Common Shares available under the Exchange Cap as set forth above, the date the Company has obtained stockholder approval to increase the number of Common Shares under the Exchange Cap and/ or the Exchange Cap no longer applies, unless a subsequent Triggering Date occurs, and (C) the payment in full of all obligations under this Note. In addition, the Triggered Principal Amount, if otherwise increased pursuant to the proviso of the first sentence of this clause (a), shall reduce to $3,000,000 (with respect to any payment that has not yet come due) if any time after the Triggering Date the Cash Runway Ratio is equal to or greater than 1.00. Following the cessation of the payment obligation in respect of a given Triggering Date, the determination of a subsequent Triggering Date shall not include any Trading Days included in the time period ending with the prior Triggering Date. If this Debenture or any Other Debentures are held by more than one holder, then the Triggered Principal Amount, Redemption Premium and accrued and unpaid interest shall be allocated to each holder based on each holder’s pro-rata portion of the total outstanding Principal amount outstanding on all such debentures.
(b)Early Redemption. The Company at its option shall have the right, but not the obligation, to redeem (“Optional Redemption”) early a portion or all amounts outstanding under this Debenture in cash at the Redemption Amount (as defined below) as described in this Section; provided that (i) at the time of the Redemption Notice (as defined below), the daily VWAP of the Common Stock is less than the Fixed Conversion Price during a period of three consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to such Redemption Notice and (ii) the Company provides the Holder with at least 10 Business Days’ prior written notice (each, a “Redemption Notice”) of its desire to exercise an Optional Redemption. Each Redemption Notice shall be
2


irrevocable and shall specify the outstanding balance of the Convertible Debentures to be redeemed and the applicable Redemption Premium. The “Redemption Amount” shall be an amount equal to the outstanding Principal balance being redeemed by the Company, plus the applicable Redemption Premium, plus all accrued and unpaid interest hereunder as of such redemption date. After receipt of the Redemption Notice, the Holder shall have 10 Business Days to elect to convert all or any portion of Convertible Debentures. On the 11th Business Day after the Redemption Notice, the Company shall deliver to the Holder the Redemption Amount with respect to the Principal amount redeemed after giving effect to conversions effected during the applicable notice period.
(c)Payment Dates. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.
(3)EVENTS OF DEFAULT.
(a)An “Event of Default”, wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court, or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):
(i)the Company’s failure to pay to the Holder (A) any amount of Principal after such payment is due, or (B) any amount of Interest, or other amounts when and as due under this Debenture or any other Transaction Document, within 7 calendar days after receipt by the Company of written notice from Holder;

(iii)The Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company shall default in any of its obligations under any other debenture or any mortgage, credit agreement or other facility, indenture agreement, factoring agreement or other instrument under which there may be issued, or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness for borrowed money or money due under any long term leasing or factoring arrangement of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company in an amount exceeding $5,000,000, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created where such default results in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable before its stated maturity and such acceleration shall not have been rescinded or annulled or such default shall not have been cured or waived, or such indebtedness is not paid or discharged, as the case may be, within 20 calendar
3


days after written notice to the Company by Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement then outstanding;
(iv)The Common Stock shall cease to be quoted or listed for trading, as applicable, on any Primary Market for a period of 10 consecutive Trading Days;

(vii)The Company shall fail for any reason to deliver the payment in cash pursuant to a Buy-In (as defined herein) within five Business Days after such payment is due;
(viii)The Company shall fail to observe or perform any other material covenant, agreement or warranty contained in, or otherwise commit any material breach or default of any provision of this Debenture (except as may be covered by Section (3)(a)(i) through (3)(a)(ix) hereof) or any Transaction Document (as defined in Section(15)) which is not cured or remedied within 30 calendar days of receipt by the Company of written notice by the Holder.
(ix)any Event of Default (as defined in the Other Debentures) occurs with respect to any Other Debentures.
(b)During the time that any portion of this Debenture is outstanding, if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the full unpaid Principal amount of this Debenture, together with accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof, to the date of acceleration shall become at the Holder’s election, immediately due and payable in cash. The Holder need not provide and the Company hereby waives any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, (other than required notice of conversion) and the Holder may immediately enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such declaration may be rescinded and annulled by Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
(4)CONVERSION OF DEBENTURE.    This Debenture shall be convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section (4).
(a)Conversion Right. Subject to the limitations of Section (4)(c), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, the Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount (as defined below) into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section (4)(b), at the Conversion Rate (as defined below). The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to this Section (4)(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price (the “Conversion Rate”). If more than one Debenture shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the conversion obligation with respect to such Debentures shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted thereby) so surrendered. The
4


Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. All calculations under this Section (4) shall be rounded to the nearest $0.0001. 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 (if such fractional share is greater than one-half) and down to the nearest whole share (if such fractional share is equal to or less than one-half). The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of any Conversion Amount, unless such taxes are due because the Holder requests such Common Stock to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name, in which case the Holder shall pay such taxes.
(i)Conversion Amount” means the portion of the Principal and accrued Interest to be converted, redeemed or otherwise with respect to which this determination is being made.
(ii)Conversion Price” means, as of any Conversion Date (as defined below) or other date of determination the lower of (i) $2.4733 (the “Fixed Conversion Price”), or (ii) 97% of the lowest daily VWAP of the Common Stock during the 3 consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Conversion Date or other date of determination (the “Variable Conversion Price”), but not lower than the Floor Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the other terms and conditions of this Debenture.
(b)Mechanics of Conversion.
(i)Optional Conversion. To convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock on any date (a “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall (A) transmit by email (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York Time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company and (B) if required by Section (4)(b)(iii), surrender this Debenture to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company (or an indemnification undertaking reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to this Debenture in the case of its loss, theft or destruction). On or before the 3rd Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall (X) if legends are not required to be placed on certificates or book entry of Common Stock and provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, instruct the Transfer Agent to 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 DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, or if restrictive legends are required to be placed on certificates or book-entry positions of Common Stock, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate or book-entry position, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled. If this Debenture is physically surrendered for conversion and the outstanding Principal of this Debenture is greater than the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three Business Days after receipt of this Debenture and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Debenture representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Debenture shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock upon the transmission of a Conversion Notice.
(ii)Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. If within 4 Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of an email copy of a Conversion Notice the Company shall fail to
5


instruct the Transfer Agent to issue and deliver to the Holder or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount (a “Conversion Failure”), and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within five Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out of pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the Buy-In Price), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Price on the Conversion Date.
(iii)Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of any portion of this Debenture in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Debenture to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Debenture is being converted or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Debenture upon physical surrender of this Debenture. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal and Interest converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Debenture upon conversion.
(c)Limitations on Conversions.
(i)Beneficial Ownership. The Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Debenture or receive shares of Common Stock hereunder to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of such Shares, the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, would beneficially own (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of shares as payment of interest. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the Principal amount of this Debenture is convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for a Principal amount of this Debenture that, without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, would result in the issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum Principal amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date in accordance with Section (4)(a) and, any Principal amount tendered for conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder shall remain outstanding under this Debenture. The provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 65 days prior notice to the Company. Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such waiver.
6


(ii)Principal Market Limitation. Notwithstanding anything in this Debenture to the contrary, the Company shall not issue any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Debenture, or otherwise, if the issuance of such Common Stock, together with any Common Stock issued in connection with any other related transactions that may be considered part of the same series of transactions, would exceed 33,199,327, which is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the Company may issue in a transaction in compliance with the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Nasdaq”) (and such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock shall be referred to as the “Exchange Cap”) except that such limitation shall not apply if the Company’s stockholders have approved issuances in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq.
(iii)Other Conversion Limitations and Agreements. The Holder agrees that (A) it shall not convert any portion of this Debenture prior to September 9, 2022 (the “Conversion Start Date”), (B) it shall not convert more than an aggregate amount of Principal equal to $4,000,000 of this Debenture and any Other Debenture held by the Holder utilizing the Variable Conversion Price (y) during the period beginning at 12:01 a.m. on the Conversion Start Date and ending at 11:59 p.m. on the date that is 30 days following the Conversion Start Date, and (z) during each successive 30 day period immediately following the conclusion of the prior period (each such period described in (y) and (z) above shall be referred to herein as a “30-Day Period”), and (C) it shall use commercially reasonable efforts, taking into account relevant market conditions, to convert at least $2,000,000 of Principal amount in the aggregate of this Debenture and any Other Debenture held by the Holder in each 30-Day Period; provided that the Equity Conditions are satisfied as of each day of such 30-Day Period. The foregoing limitations in this subsection shall not apply (A) at any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and (B) with respect to any conversions utilizing the Fixed Conversion Price, and may be waived with written consent of the Company. For as long as any Holder holds any Debentures (or shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion under a Debenture), each Holder will be prohibited from directly or indirectly engaging in any Short Sales involving the Company’s Common Stock.
(d)Other Provisions.
(i)[Reserved].
(ii)All calculations under this Section (4) shall be rounded to the nearest $0.0001 or whole share.
(iii)The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Debenture and payment of interest on this Debenture, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder, not less than such number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions set forth herein) upon the conversion of the outstanding Principal amount of this Debenture and payment of interest hereunder. Within seven Business Days following the receipt by the Company of a Holder’s notice that such minimum number of Underlying Shares is not so reserved, the Company shall promptly reserve a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to comply with such requirement. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid, nonassessable and, if the Underlying Shares Registration Statement has been declared effective under the Securities Act, registered for public sale in accordance with such Underlying Shares Registration Statement.
7


(iv)Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section (3) herein for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief, in each case without the need to post a bond or provide other security. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.
(5)Adjustments to Conversion Price
(a)Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, shall (a) pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on all or substantially all shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (excluding any interest payments or equivalents thereto that are paid in shares of Common Stock and, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding conversions of warrants and other securities into shares of Common Stock), (b) subdivide outstanding shares of its Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (c) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issue by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then each of the Fixed Conversion Price and the Floor Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
(b)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”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of this Debenture, at the Holder’s option, (i) in addition to the shares of Common Stock receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which the Holder would have been entitled with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares of Common Stock been held by the Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Debenture) 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 the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Debenture initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to shares of Common Stock) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Rate. Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of this Debenture.
(c)Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section (5) hereof, the Company shall promptly provide the Holder with a written notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
8


(d)In case of any (1) merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, or (2) sale by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company of more than one-half of the assets of the Company on a consolidated basis in one or a series of related transactions, a Holder shall have the right to (A) exercise any rights under Section (3)(b), (B) convert the aggregate amount of this Debenture then outstanding into the shares of stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such merger, consolidation or sale, and such Holder shall be entitled upon such event or series of related events to receive such amount of securities, cash and property as the shares of Common Stock into which such aggregate Principal amount of this Debenture could have been converted immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sales would have been entitled, or (C) in the case of a merger or consolidation, require the surviving entity to issue to the Holder a convertible Debenture with a Principal amount equal to the aggregate Principal amount of this Debenture then held by such Holder, plus all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owing thereon, which such newly issued convertible debenture shall have terms identical (including with respect to conversion) to the terms of this Debenture, and shall be entitled to all of the rights and privileges of the Holder of this Debenture set forth herein and the agreements pursuant to which this Debentures were issued. In the case of clause (C), the conversion price applicable for the newly issued convertible debentures shall be based upon the amount of securities, cash and property that each share of Common Stock would receive in such transaction and the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness or closing date for such transaction. The terms of any such merger, sale or consolidation shall include such terms so as to continue to give the Holder the right to receive the securities, cash and property set forth in this Section upon any conversion or redemption following such event. This provision shall similarly apply to successive such events.
(6)REISSUANCE OF THIS DEBENTURE.
(a)Transfer. If this Debenture is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Debenture to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Debenture (in accordance with Section (6)(d)), registered in the name of the registered transferee or assignee, representing the outstanding Principal being transferred by the Holder (along with any accrued and unpaid interest thereof) and, if less than the entire outstanding Principal is being transferred, a new Debenture (in accordance with Section (6)(d)) to the Holder representing the outstanding Principal not being transferred. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Debenture, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of Section (4)(b)(iii) following conversion or redemption of any portion of this Debenture, the outstanding Principal represented by this Debenture may be less than the Principal stated on the face of this Debenture.
(b)Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Debenture. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Debenture, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Debenture, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Debenture (in accordance with Section (6)(d)) representing the outstanding Principal.
(c)Debenture Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This Debenture is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Debenture or Debentures (in accordance with Section (6)(d)) representing in the aggregate the outstanding Principal of this Debenture, and each such new Debenture will represent such portion of such outstanding Principal as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender.
9


(d)Issuance of New Debentures. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Debenture pursuant to the terms of this Debenture, such new Debenture (i) shall be of like tenor with this Debenture, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Debenture, the Principal remaining outstanding (or in the case of a new Debenture being issued pursuant to Section 5(6)(a) or Section 5(6)(c), the Principal designated by the Holder which, when added to the Principal represented by the other new Debentures issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the Principal remaining outstanding under this Debenture immediately prior to such issuance of new Debentures), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Debenture, which is the same as the Issuance Date of this Debenture, (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Debenture, and (v) shall represent accrued and unpaid Interest from the Issuance Date.

(c)Each Investor has not been formed solely for the purpose of making this investment and is purchasing the Note, and subsequent issuance of the Conversion Shares, for its own account for investment, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any immediate distribution thereof. Each Investor has been advised that the Notes and the Conversion Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws and, therefore, cannot be resold unless they are registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration requirements is available. Except as set forth in that certain Registration Rights Agreement by and between the Company and certain Investors listed therein, each Investor is aware that the Company is under no obligation to effect any such registration with respect to the Note or the Conversion Shares to
4


file for or comply with any exemption from registration.

Each Investor is an accredited investor as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

Each Investor acknowledges receipt of copies of the SEC Documents (or access thereto via EDGAR). Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigation conducted by the applicable Investor shall modify, limit or otherwise affect such Investor’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.
(e)Each Investor acknowledges that it is not relying upon any person, firm or corporation in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company. Each Investor agrees that neither such Investor nor the respective controlling persons, officers, directors, partners, agents, or employees of such Investor shall be liable to any other Investor for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Notes or the issuance of the Conversion Shares.
(f)Each Investor understands that the Notes and the Conversion Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act in as much as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under the Securities Act and applicable regulations thereunder such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. Each Investor represents that such Investor is familiar with the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act. Each Investor understands that no public market now exists for any of the Notes and that it is uncertain whether a public market will ever exist for the Notes.

(i)Each Investor has reviewed with its own tax advisors the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by the Note Documents. With respect to such matters, each Investor has relied, and will have relied, at each applicable Closing, solely on such advisors and not on the statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents, written or oral. Each Investor understands that it (and not the Company) shall be responsible for its own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by the Note Documents.
(j)Regulation S Exemption.
(i)Each Investor who is not a U.S. person (as defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S) (“Non-U.S. Investor”) acknowledges that the Company will rely on such Non-U.S. Investor’s representations, warranties and certifications set forth below for purposes of determining such Non-U.S. Investor’s suitability as an investor in the Notes, and subsequent holder of the Conversion Shares, and for purposes of confirming the availability of the Regulation S exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
5


(ii)Non-U.S. Investor understands that the Notes, and the subsequent issuance of the Conversion Shares, at the time of issuance may not be registered under the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws, and that the Notes, and the subsequent issuance of the Conversion Shares, are being issued pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act provided by Regulation S under the Securities Act. Non-U.S. Investor also understands that the Notes, and the subsequent issuance of the Conversion Shares, may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred except in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws or pursuant to an exemption therefrom, and in each case in compliance with the conditions set forth in this Section 3(j).
(iii)At the time of the decision to purchase the Notes, Non-U.S. Investor was, and Non-U.S. Investor currently is, outside of the United States (as defined in Rule 902(l) of Regulation S), and Non-U.S. Investor is not a U.S. person (as defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S). In particular, Non-U.S. Investor affirms that such Non-U.S. Investor is not organized or incorporated under the laws of the United States and such Non-U.S. Investor was not formed by U.S. persons principally for the purpose of investing in securities not registered under the Securities Act. Such Non-U.S. Each Investor has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of such Non-U.S. Investor’s jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Notes, and the subsequent issuance of the Conversion Shares, or any use of the Notes, and the subsequent issuance of the Conversion Shares, including (A) the legal requirements within such Non-U.S. Investor’s jurisdiction for the purchase of the Securities, (B) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (C) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (D) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Securities.

2.BUYER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
Each Buyer, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company with respect to only itself that, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date:
(a)Investment Purpose. The Buyer is acquiring the Securities for its own account for investment purposes and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered under or exempt from the
2


registration requirements of the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Buyer does not agree, or make any representation or warranty, to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with, or pursuant to, a registration statement covering such Securities or an available exemption under the Securities Act. Such Buyer does not presently have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the Securities. The Buyer acknowledges that it will be disclosed as a “selling stockholder” in each Registration Statement and in any prospectus contained therein.
(b)Accredited Investor Status. The Buyer is an “Accredited Investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D.
(c)Reliance on Exemptions. The Buyer understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Buyer’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Buyer to acquire the Securities.
(d)Information. The Buyer and its advisors (and its counsel), if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and information the Buyer deemed material to making an informed investment decision regarding its purchase of the Securities, which have been requested by such Buyer. The Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and its management and have received answers to such questions. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Buyer or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Buyer’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in Section 3 below. The Buyer understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. The Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice, as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities.
(e)Transfer or Resale. The Buyer understands that: (i) the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, (B) such Buyer shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such Securities to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements, or (C) such Buyer provides the Company with reasonable assurances (in the form of seller and broker representation letters reasonably acceptable to the Company) that such Securities can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as amended (or a successor rule thereto) (collectively, “Rule 144”), in each case following the applicable holding period set forth therein; and (ii) any sale of the Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder.
(f)Legends. The Buyer agrees to the imprinting, so long as its required by this Section 2(f), of a restrictive legend on the Securities in substantially the following form:
3


[NEITHER THIS DEBENTURE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS DEBENTURE IS CONVERTIBLE HAVE][THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT] BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE.

The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign entity to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined below).

As of the Closing Date, the Company shall have reserved from its duly authorized capital stock and shall have instructed its transfer agent to irrevocably reserve not less than 33,199,327 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all Convertible Debentures. Upon issuance or conversion in accordance with the Convertible Debentures, the Conversion Shares, when issued, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all preemptive or similar rights or Liens with respect to the issue thereof, with the holders being entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock.
(d)No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Convertible Debentures, the Conversion Shares, and the reservation for issuance of the Conversion Shares) will not (i) result in a violation of the Certificate of Incorporation (as defined below), Bylaws (as defined below), certificate of formation, memorandum of association, articles of association, bylaws or other organizational documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any capital stock or other securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including, without limitation, U.S. federal and state securities laws and regulations, the securities laws of the jurisdictions of the Company’s incorporation or in which it or its subsidiaries operate and the rules and regulations of Nasdaq and including all applicable laws,

The Company further represents to each Buyer that the Company’s decision to enter into the Transaction Documents to which it is a party has been based solely on the independent evaluation by the Company and its representatives.
(h)No Integrated Offering. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their affiliates, nor any Person acting on 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 require approval of stockholders of the Company under any applicable stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any exchange or automated quotation system on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated for quotation. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, their affiliates nor any Person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps that would cause the offering of any of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings of securities of the Company.
(i)Dilutive Effect. The Company understands and acknowledges that the number of Conversion Shares will increase in certain circumstances. The Company further acknowledges its obligation to issue the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures in accordance with the terms thereof is, absolute and unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders of the Company.

(k)SEC Documents; Financial Statements. Since August 20, 2021, the Company has timely filed all reports, schedules, forms, proxy statements, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof and all exhibits and appendices included therein and financial statements, notes and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein being hereinafter referred to as the “SEC Documents”). The Company has delivered or has made available to the Buyers or their respective representatives true, correct and complete copies of each of the SEC Documents not available on the EDGAR system. As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect as of the time of filing. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal yearend audit adjustments which will not be material, either individually or in the aggregate). The reserves, if any, established by the Company or the lack of reserves, if applicable, are reasonable based upon facts and circumstances known by the Company on the date hereof and there are no loss contingencies that are required to be accrued by the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 5 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board which are not provided for by the Company in its financial statements or otherwise. No other information provided by or on behalf of the Company to any of the Buyers which is not included in the SEC Documents (including, without limitation, information in the disclosure schedules to this Agreement) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, in the light of the circumstance under which they are or were made. The Company is not currently contemplating to amend or restate any of the financial statements (including, without limitation, any notes or any letter of the independent accountants of the Company with respect thereto) included in the SEC Documents (the “Financial Statements”), nor is the Company currently aware of facts or circumstances which would require the Company to amend or restate any of the Financial Statements, in each case, in order for any of the Financials Statements to be in compliance with GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Company has not been informed by its independent accountants that they recommend that the Company amend or restate any of the Financial Statements or that there is any need for the Company to amend or restate any of the Financial Statements.
(l)Absence of Certain Changes. Since the date of the Company’s most recent audited financial statements contained in a Form 10-K, there has been no Material Adverse Effect, nor any event or occurrence specifically affecting the Company or its Subsidiaries that would be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Since the date of the Company’s most recent audited financial statements contained in a Form 10-K, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has (i) declared or paid any dividends, (ii) sold any material assets, individually or in the aggregate, outside of the ordinary course of business or (iii) made any material capital expenditures, individually or in the aggregate, outside of the ordinary course of business. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any steps to seek protection pursuant to any law or statute relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, liquidation or
8


winding up, nor does the Company or any Subsidiary have any knowledge or reason to believe that any of their respective creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any actual knowledge of any fact which would reasonably lead a creditor to do so.
(m)No Undisclosed Events, Liabilities, Developments or Circumstances. No event, liability, development or circumstance has occurred or exists, or is reasonably expected to exist or occur specific to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, properties, liabilities, prospects, operations (including results thereof) or condition (financial or otherwise), that has not been publicly disclosed and would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(n)Conduct of Business; Regulatory Permits. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any term under its Certificate of Incorporation, any certificate of designation, preferences or rights of any other outstanding series of preferred stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Bylaws or their organizational charter, certificate of formation, memorandum of association, articles of association, certificate of incorporation or bylaws, respectively. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any judgment, decree or order or any statute, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will conduct its business in violation of any of the foregoing, except in all cases for violations which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company is not in violation of any of the rules, regulations or requirements of Nasdaq and has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances that could reasonably lead to delisting or suspension of the Common Stock by Nasdaq in the foreseeable future. Since August 20, 2021, (i) the Common Stock has been listed or designated for quotation on Nasdaq, (ii) trading in the Common Stock has not been suspended by the SEC or Nasdaq and (iii) the Company has received no communication, written or oral, from the SEC or Nasdaq regarding the suspension or delisting of the Common Stock from Nasdaq, which has not been publicly disclosed. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses, except where the failure to possess such certificates, authorizations or permits would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate, authorization or permit. There is no agreement, commitment, judgment, injunction, order or decree binding upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party which has or would reasonably be expected to have the effect of prohibiting or materially impairing any business practice of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any acquisition of property by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the conduct of business by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as currently conducted other than such effects, individually or in the aggregate, which have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any director, officer, agent, employee, nor any other person acting for or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (individually and collectively, a “Company Affiliate”) have violated the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA) or any other applicable antibribery or anticorruption laws, nor has any Company Affiliate offered, paid, promised to pay, or authorized the payment of any money, or offered, given, promised to give, or authorized the giving of anything of value, to any officer, employee or any other person acting in an official capacity for any Governmental Entity to any political party or official thereof or to any candidate for political office (individually and collectively, a “Government Official”) or to any person under circumstances where such Company Affiliate knew or was aware of a high probability that all or a portion of such money or thing of value would be offered, given or promised, directly or
9


indirectly, to any Government Official, for the purpose, in violation of applicable law, of: (i) (A) influencing any act or decision of such Government Official in his/her official capacity, (B) inducing such Government Official to do or omit to do any act in violation of his/her lawful duty, (C) securing any improper advantage, or (D) inducing such Government Official to influence or affect any act or decision of any Governmental Entity, or (ii) assisting the Company or its Subsidiaries in obtaining or retaining business for or with, or directing business to, the Company or its Subsidiaries.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action which could be reasonably expected to result in the delisting or suspension of the Common Stock on an Eligible Market during the Reporting Period, other than in connection with the listing of the Underlying Securities on another national securities exchange or automated quotation system. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section 4(c). “Underlying Securities” means the (i) the Conversion Shares and (ii) any common stock of the Company issued or issuable with respect to the Conversion Shares, including, without limitation, (1) as a result of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, exchange or similar event or otherwise and (2) shares of capital stock of the Company into which the shares of Common Stock are converted or exchanged without regard to any limitations on conversion of the Convertible Debentures.
(d)Pledge of Securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company acknowledges and agrees that, subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, the Securities may be pledged by an investor in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Securities. The Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Securities to such pledgee by a Buyer.
(e)Disclosure of Transactions and Other Material Information. On or before 5:30 p.m., New York time, on the fourth Business Day after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall file a current report on Form 8K describing all the material terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents in the form required by the 1934 Act and attaching all the material Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, this Agreement (including all attachments, the “Current Report”). From and after the filing of the Current Report, the Company shall have disclosed all material, nonpublic information (if any) provided to any of the Buyers by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. In addition, effective upon the filing of the Current Report, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers,
13


directors, affiliates, employees or agents, on the one hand, and any of the Buyers or any of their affiliates, on the other hand, shall terminate. The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and each of its and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents not to, provide any Buyer with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from and after the date hereof without first obtaining the express prior written consent of such Buyer (which may be granted or withheld in such Buyer’s sole discretion).
(f)Reservation of Shares. So long as any of the Convertible Debentures remain outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, no less than the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all the Convertible Debentures then outstanding (assuming for purposes hereof that (x) the Convertible Debentures are convertible at the Floor Price (as defined in the Convertible Debenture) then in effect, and (y) any such conversion shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of the Convertible Debentures) (the “Required Reserve Amount”); provided that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock reserved pursuant to this Section 4(g) be reduced other than proportionally in connection with any conversion and/or redemption, or reverse stock split. If at any time the number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance is not sufficient to meet the Required Reserved Amount, the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares up to the Exchange Cap.
(g)Conduct of Business. The business of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any Governmental Entity, except where such violations would not reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect.
(h)Short Selling. The Buyer hereby agrees that it shall not directly or indirectly, engage in any Short Sales involving the Company’s securities during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending when no Convertible Debentures remain outstanding. “Short Sales” means all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the 1934 Act.
(i)From the date hereof until all the Convertible Debentures have been repaid or converted into shares of Common Stock, unless the holders of at least 75% in principal amount of the then outstanding Convertible Debentures shall have given prior written consent, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its subsidiaries (whether or not a subsidiary on the date hereof) to, directly or indirectly (A) amend its charter documents, including, without limitation, its certificate of incorporation and bylaws, in any manner that materially and adversely affects any rights of the holders of the Convertible Debentures or (B) enter into or agree to enter into a transaction in which the Company enters into an “equity line of credit” or conducts an “at the market offering”.
(j)The Company shall not effect an Advance under the SEPA without the advance mutual consent of the parties hereto from the date hereof until the earliest of the date (i) all Convertible Debentures have been repaid or converted into Common Stock or (ii) YA II no longer has any right or ability to convert any portion of the Convertible Debentures into Common Stock (collectively, the “Consent Termination Date”). YA II agrees to extend the term set forth in the SEPA for a number of days equal to the number of days between the date hereof and the Consent Termination Date. For the avoidance of doubt and subject to the foregoing, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the SEPA shall remain in full force and effect from the date hereof until the termination of the SEPA pursuant to the terms thereof.
5.REGISTER; TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS; LEGEND.
14


(a)Register. The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices or with the Transfer Agent (or at such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to each holder of Securities), a register for the Convertible Debentures in which the Company shall record the name and address of the Person in whose name the Convertible Debentures have been issued (including the name and address of each transferee), the amount of Convertible Debentures held by such Person. The Company shall keep the register open and available at all times during business hours for inspection by any Buyer or its legal representatives at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

10.MISCELLANEOUS.
(a)Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of 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. The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or under any of the other Transaction Documents or with
17


any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude any Buyer from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to such Buyer or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of such Buyer.

The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.

To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.
(ii)In consideration of the Company’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and in addition to each Buyer’s obligations under the Transaction Documents, each Buyer, severally and not jointly, shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Company Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities, incurred by any Company Indemnitees as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by such Buyer in any of the Transaction Documents, (ii) any material breach of any material covenant, material agreement or material obligation of such Buyer contained in any of the Transaction Documents or (iii) any cause of action, suit, proceeding or claim brought or made against such Company Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary) or which otherwise involves such Company Indemnitee that arises out of or results from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Buyers may be unenforceable for any reason, each Buyer shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.
(iii)Promptly after receipt by a Buyer Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee under this Section 9(g) of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Buyer Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company or a Buyer under this Section 9(g), deliver to the Company or Buyer, as applicable, a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the Company or Buyer shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the Company or Buyer, as applicable so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually reasonably satisfactory to the Company or Buyer and the Buyer Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee, as applicable; provided, however, that a Buyer Indemnitee or Company
20


Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the Company or Buyer, if applicable, if: (A) the Company or Buyer has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (B) the Company or Buyer shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Indemnified Liability and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Buyer Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee in any such Indemnified Liability; or (C) the named parties to any such Indemnified Liability (including any impleaded parties) include both such Buyer Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee and the Company or Buyer, as applicable, and such Buyer Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnitee and the Company (in which case, if such Buyer Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee notifies the Company or Buyer, as applicable, in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Company or Buyer, as applicable, then the Company or Buyer, as applicable, shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Company or Buyer, as applicable), provided further, that in the case of clause (C) above the Company or Buyer shall not be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate legal counsel for the Indemnitees. The Buyer Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the Company or Buyer, as applicable, in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Indemnified Liability by the Company or Buyer and shall furnish to the Company or Buyer all information reasonably available to the Indemnitee which relates to such action or Indemnified Liability. The Company or Buyer shall keep the Buyer Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. The Company or Buyer shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the Company or Buyer shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. The Company or Buyer, as applicable, shall not, without the prior written consent of the Buyer Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Buyer Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such Indemnified Liability or litigation, and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Buyer Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the Company or Buyer, as applicable, shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the Company or Buyer, as applicable, within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the Company or Buyer, as applicable, of any liability to the Buyer Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee under this Section 9(g), except to the extent that the Company or Buyer, as applicable, is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
(iv)The indemnification required by this Section 9(g) shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, within 10 days after bills supporting the Indemnified Liabilities are received by the Company.
(v)The indemnity agreement contained herein shall be in addition to (A) any cause of action or similar right of the Buyer Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee against the Company or Buyer, as applicable, or others, and (B) any liabilities the Company or Buyer may be subject to pursuant to the law.
21


(h)No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

2.REGISTRATION.
(a)The Company’s registration obligations set forth in this Section 2 including its obligations to file Registration Statements, obtain effectiveness of Registration Statements, and maintain the continuous effectiveness of any Registration Statement that has been declared effective shall begin on the date hereof and continue until all the Registrable Securities have been sold or may permanently be sold without any restrictions pursuant to Rule 144, as determined by the counsel to the Company
2


pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent(the “Registration Period”).
(b)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company shall (i) on or prior to the Filing Deadline, prepare and file with the SEC an initial Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or, if the Company is not then eligible, on Form S-1) or any successor form thereto covering the resale by the Investor of Registrable Securities, and (ii) on or prior to the 30th calendar day following receipt of each written notice by the Investor (a “Demand Notice”) delivered pursuant to the terms hereof, prepare and file an additional Registration Statement covering the resale by the Investor of Registrable Securities. Each Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall register for resale at least the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Registration Amount as of date the Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC. Each Registration Statement shall contain the “Selling Stockholders” and “Plan of Distribution” sections. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have each Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Effectiveness Deadline. By 9:30 am on the business day following the date of effectiveness, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933 Act the final Prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Registration Statement. Prior to the filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC, the Company shall furnish a draft of the Registration Statement to the Investor for their review and comment. The Investor shall furnish comments on the Registration Statement to the Company within 24 hours of the receipt thereof from the Company.
For the purposes hereof, the Investor shall be entitled to deliver a Demand Notice to the Company at any time during the Registration Period if at such time (i) no Registration Statement is then in effect which the Investor may use to resell Registrable Securities, or (ii) a Registration Statement is effective, but the Holder has resold substantially all of the shares of Common Stock registered on such Registration Statement. In addition, the Investor may deliver a Demand Notice to the Company at any time during the Registration Period during which (i) the Company does not have a class of securities listed, or approved for listing, on a national securities exchange registered pursuant to Section 6 of the Exchange Act, or (ii) Rule 144, as amended, would not allow the “tacking” of the holding period of the Convertible Debenture onto the holding period of the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion thereof.
(c)During the Registration Period, the Company shall (i) promptly prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection with a Registration Statement, which Prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, (ii) prepare and file with the SEC additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities; (iii) 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; (iv) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the SEC with respect to a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and as promptly as reasonably possible provide the Investor true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the SEC relating to a Registration Statement (provided that the Company may excise any information contained therein which would constitute material non-public information as to any Investor which has not executed a confidentiality agreement with the Company); and (v) comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by such Registration
3


Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement. In the case of amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 2(c)) by reason of the Company’s filing a report on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, or Form 8-K or any analogous report under the Securities Exchange Act, the Company shall incorporate such report by reference into the Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the Exchange Act report is filed which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement the Registration Statement.
(d)Reduction of Registrable Securities Included in a Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in the event that the SEC requires the Company to reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be included in a Registration Statement in order to allow the Company to rely on Rule 415 with respect to a Registration Statement, then the Company shall be obligated to include in such Registration Statement (which may be a subsequent Registration Statement if the Company needs to withdraw a Registration Statement and refile a new Registration Statement in order to rely on Rule 415) only such limited portion of the Registrable Securities as the SEC shall permit. Any Registrable Securities that are excluded in accordance with the foregoing terms are hereinafter referred to as “Cut Back Securities.” To the extent Cut Back Securities exist, promptly following such time as may be permitted by the SEC, the Company shall be required to file a Registration Statement covering the resale of the Cut Back Securities (subject also to the terms of this Section) and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective as promptly as practicable thereafter.
(e)Failure to File or Obtain Effectiveness of the Registration Statement or Remain Current. If: (i) a Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to its Filing Date, or (ii) the Company fails to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective on or prior to Effectiveness Deadline or the Company fails to file with the SEC a request for acceleration in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act, within five business days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that a Registration Statement will not be “reviewed,” or not subject to further review, or (iii) after the effectiveness, a Registration Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities, except for Cut Back Securities, for which it is required to be effective, or (iv) the Investor is not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Securities for more than 45 consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of 60 calendar days during any 12-month period (which need not be consecutive calendar days), or (v) if after the date that is six months from the date hereof, the Company does not have available adequate current public information as set forth in Rule 144(c) (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event”), then in addition to any other rights the holders of the Convertible Debentures may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Company shall be in breach of the term and conditions of this Agreement and such Event shall be deemed an event of default under the Convertible Debentures for so long as such Event remains uncured.
(f)Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company proposes to register the offer and sale of any shares of its Common Stock under the Securities Act (other than a registration (i) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 ((or other registration solely relating to an offering or sale to employees or directors of the Company pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit
4


arrangement), (ii) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto), or (iii) in connection with any dividend or distribution reinvestment or similar plan), whether for its own account or for the account of one or more stockholders of the Company and the form of Registration Statement to be used may be used for any registration of Registrable Securities, the Company shall give prompt written notice (in any event no later than five days prior to the filing of such Registration Statement) to the holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to effect such a registration and, shall include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion from the holders of Registrable Securities; provided, however, that, the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 10(c) that have been sold or may permanently be sold without any restrictions pursuant to Rule 144, as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent.
3.RELATED OBLIGATIONS.

The Company shall not file a Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto to which the Investor shall reasonably object in good faith; provided that, the Company is notified of such objection in writing no later than two business days after the Investor have been so furnished copies of a Registration Statement, provided further that the Company shall not be in breach of this Agreement or in default under the Convertible Debentures, each pursuant to Section 2(e) hereof due to such objection by the Investor.
(b)The Company shall furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement, without charge, (i) at least one copy of such Registration Statement as declared effective by the SEC and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) 10 copies of the final prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as such Investor may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents, which are not publicly available through EDGAR, as such Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor.
(c)The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as any Investor reasonably requests, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable
5


Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (w) make any change to its articles of incorporation or by-laws, (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(c), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.

(d)As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event or development, the Company shall notify each Investor in writing of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission 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 (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material, nonpublic information), and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver 10 copies of such supplement or amendment to each Investor. The Company shall also promptly notify each Investor in writing (i) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to each Investor by facsimile on the same day of such effectiveness), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate.
(e)The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction within the United States of America and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify each Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.
(f)The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning the Investor provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning an Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to such Investor and allow such Investor, at the Investor’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.
(g)The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all the Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which the Common
6


Stock is then listed. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section 3(i).
(h)The Company shall cooperate with the holders of the Registrable Securities to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to such Registration Statement or Rule 144 free of any restrictive legends and representing such number of shares of Common Stock and registered in such names as the holders of the Registrable Securities may reasonably request a reasonable period of time prior to sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement or Rule; provided, that the Company may satisfy its obligations hereunder without issuing physical stock certificates through the use of The Depository Trust Company's Direct Registration System.
(i)The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.

4.OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTOR.
(a)The Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(d) such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until the Investor’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(d) or receipt of notice that no supplement or amendment is required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, subject to compliance with the securities laws, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended certificates for shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(d) and for which the Investor has not yet settled.

6.INDEMNIFICATION.
With respect to Registrable Securities which are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:
(a)To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Investor, the directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives of, and each Person, if any, who controls any Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several (collectively, “Claims”) incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being, together, “Violations”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (x) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation contained in (or not contained in, in the case of an omission) information furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; (y) shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c); and (z) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person.
(b)In connection with a Registration Statement, the Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers, employees, representatives, or agents and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each an
8


Indemnified Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or is based upon any Violation contained in (or not contained in, in the case of an omission) written information furnished to the Company by such Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6(d), such Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party.
(c)Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any
9


liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
(d)The indemnification required by this Section 6 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 Indemnified Damages are incurred.
(e)The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.
7.CONTRIBUTION.
To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.
8.REPORTS UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT.
With a view to making available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investor to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, and as a material inducement to the Investor’s purchase of the Convertible Debentures, the Company represents, warrants, and covenants to the following:
(a)The Company is subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and has filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months prior to the date hereof (or for such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports), other than Form 8-K reports.
(b)During the Registration Period, the Company shall file with the SEC in a timely manner all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (it being understood that nothing herein shall limit the Company’s obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement) and such reports shall conform to the requirement of the Exchange Act and the SEC for filing thereunder.
(c)The Company shall furnish to the Investor so long as such Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investor to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.
9.AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with
10


the written consent of the Company and Investor who then hold at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Registrable Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 9 shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to fewer than all of the holders of the Registrable Securities. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.
10.MISCELLANEOUS.
(a)A Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns or is deemed to own of record such Registrable Securities or owns the right to receive the Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities.
(b)No Piggyback on Registrations. Except as otherwise disclosed to Investor on or before the date hereof, the Company shall not file any other registration statements on Form S-3, Form S-1, or otherwise until the initial Registration Statement required hereunder is declared effective by the SEC, provided that this Section 10(b) shall not prohibit the Company from filing amendments to registration statements already filed. The Company shall not include any other securities on a Registration Statement unless otherwise agreed by the Investor.
(c)Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered pursuant to the notice provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement or to such other address and/or electronic mail address and/or to the attention of such other person as the recipient party has specified by written notice given to each other party five days prior to the effectiveness of such change. Written confirmation of receipt (A) given by the recipient of such notice, consent, waiver or other communication, (B) electronically generated by the sender’s email service provider containing the time, date, and recipient email or (C) provided by a courier or overnight courier service shall be rebuttable evidence of personal service, receipt by facsimile or receipt from a nationally recognized overnight delivery service in accordance with this section.
(d)Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof.
(e)All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any 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. The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby
11


irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude any Buyer from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company's obligations to such Buyer or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of such Buyer. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
(f)Assignment.
(i)Subject to Section 10(k), this Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the Investor hereunder may only be assigned upon the transfer of a Convertible Debenture or the Conversion Shares issued pursuant to a Convertible Debenture pursuant to the terms and restrictions on transfer set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement and the applicable Convertible Debenture.
