Interest; Amortization and Maturity.
(a)
Payment of Principal Amount. The Principal Amount of this Note shall be due and payable to the Holder on the earlier of (A) the
Maturity Date and (B) the date on which the Principal Amount is otherwise accelerated as provided for under this Note. Except as set
forth in Section 2(b) or Section 2(c), the Borrower may not prepay or redeem all or any portion of the Principal Amount
of this Note without the prior written consent of the Holder. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default,
the outstanding Principal Amount and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments thereon not paid when due and
any fees and other amounts then due and payable hereunder, shall thereafter, automatically in the case of an Event of Default under Section

interest in any proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy laws) payable upon written demand at the rate otherwise applicable thereto,
plus 2.00% per annum. Payment or acceptance of the increased rate of interest provided for in this paragraph is not a permitted alternative
to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of
the Holder Representative, the Collateral Agent, the Holder or the holders of the other Notes.
(b)
Amortization of Principal. At the written election of the Majority Holders, the Borrower shall repay $200,000 of the aggregate
Principal Amount of all of the outstanding Notes on the first of each month commencing on August 9, 2022 and continuing through the Maturity

that would be due if such $200,000 of the aggregate Principal Amount of all of the outstanding Notes repaid were converted with a Conversion
Date on such Amortization Payment Date (clauses (i) and (ii), together with the Principal Amount to be repaid, an “Amortization
Payment”). Any written election pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be delivered to the Borrower (with a copy to the
Holder Representative) at least three (3) Business Days before the applicable Amortization Payment Date, which shall include the calculation

or, subject to satisfaction of the Equity Payment Conditions and to the limitations set forth in Section 5, in shares of Common
Stock (together with cash in lieu of any fractional share) at a value per share of Common Stock equal to the Amortization/Interest Conversion
Price. The Borrower initially elects to settle any Amortization Payment in shares of Common Stock (together with cash in lieu of any
fractional share based on the Amortization/Interest Conversion Price); provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected
to settle any Amortization Payment in cash to the extent specified in Section 5. In order to change its election to pay any Amortization
Payment in cash or in Common Shares (together with cash in lieu of any fractional share based on the Amortization/Interest Conversion
Price), the Borrower must send a notice of such election to the Holder (with a copy to the Holder Representative), and such change in
election shall become effective for Amortization Payment Dates more than ten (10) Trading Days following the receipt of such notice by
the Holder. With respect to each Amortization Payment, the Holder shall receive a pro rata amount of the cash, Common Shares or combination
of cash and Common Shares paid or delivered by the Borrower according to the Holders’ respective proportionate interest in the
amount of Notes Obligations owed one Business Day immediately prior to such Amortization Payment. Each Amortization Payment made shall
be reflected on the Conversion/PIK Schedule, containing at a minimum the information shown on Schedule 1 hereto. Except as set
forth in this Section 2(b) or Section 2(c), the Borrower may not prepay or redeem all or any portion of the Principal Amount
of this Note without the prior written consent of the Holder.
(c)
Mandatory Prepayment.
(i)
Subject to clause (ii) below, if (A) any Note Party or any Subsidiary thereof Transfers any assets or property (other than any Transfer
permitted by clauses (i) through (iv) of Section 7(t)) or (B) any Insurance/Condemnation Event in respect of any assets or property of
any Note Party or any Subsidiary thereof occurs, in each case which results in the realization or receipt by a Note Party or any Subsidiary
thereof of Net Proceeds, the Borrower shall cause to be prepaid on or prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days after the date
of such realization or receipt by such Note Party of such Net Proceeds, an aggregate principal amount of the Notes in an amount equal
to 100% of all such Net Proceeds realized or received. Any such prepayment shall be reflected on the Conversion/PIK Schedule, containing
at a minimum the information shown on Schedule 1 hereto.
(ii)
So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, with respect to any Net Proceeds realized or received with
respect to any Insurance/Condemnation Event, at the option of the Borrower, the applicable Note Party or Subsidiary may reinvest an amount
equal to all or any portion of such Net Proceeds to replace the assets or property subject to such Insurance/Condemnation Event (which
assets or property may, for the avoidance of doubt, be replaced with assets or property that are substantially similar to such assets
or property subject to such Insurance/Condemnation Even) within (A) six (6) months following receipt of such Net Proceeds or (B) if the
applicable Note Party or Subsidiary enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Proceeds to replace such assets or
property within six (6) months following receipt thereof, ninety (90) days after the six (6) month period that follow receipt of such
Net Proceeds; provided that if any Net Proceeds are not so reinvested by the deadline specified in clause (A) or (B) above, as
applicable, or if any such Net Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested, any such Net Proceeds shall be applied
to the prepayment of the Notes as set forth in Section 2(c)(i).
(d)
Interest. This Note shall bear interest on the aggregate unconverted and unamortized Principal Amount then outstanding of this
Note semiannually in arrears at a rate of 10% per annum, with 5% per annum payable in cash (“Cash Interest”) and 5%
per annum payable “in kind” by adding such accrued and unpaid interest to the unpaid Principal Amount of this Note (“PIK
Interest”) from the Original Issue Date or the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided
for to, but excluding, the next scheduled Interest Payment Date until the Maturity Date. Interest on this Note is payable semi-annually
in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Additional Interest will be payable by the Borrower to the Holder as set forth in Section
2(d) of the Registration Rights Agreement. Payments of PIK Interest shall be reflected on the Conversion/PIK Schedule, containing
at a minimum the information shown on Schedule 1 hereto.
(e)
[Intentionally Omitted].
(f)
Interest and Fee Calculations and Payment Provisions. Interest and fees shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting
of twelve 30 day months. Interest hereunder will be paid to the initial Holder or, if the Borrower has received notice of any transfer
thereof signed by the initial Holder or any successive Holders, to the Person in whose name this Note is registered on the Note Register.
All payments made hereunder (other than regular interest payments on each Interest Payment Date) will be applied first to the
repayment of fees and expenses payable under this Note, then to accrued and unpaid interest until all then outstanding accrued
and unpaid interest has been paid in full, and then to the repayment of the Principal Amount and other Note Obligations until
the Principal Amount and such other Note Obligations have been paid in full. If after all applications of such payments have been made
as provided in this paragraph any amounts remain, then the remaining amount of such payments shall be returned to the Borrower. Except
as otherwise provided herein, all payments under this Note (including cash interest payments) shall be made in lawful money of the United
States of America and in immediately available funds. Each such payment must be received by the Holder not later than 12:00 p.m., New
York City time, on the date such payment becomes due and payable. Any payment received by the Holder after such time will be deemed to
have been made on the next following Business Day and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the
case may be. If a payment under this Note otherwise would become due and payable on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the due date
thereof shall be extended to the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, and interest shall be payable thereon during
such extension. Except as otherwise provided in this Note, all amounts due under this Note shall be payable without defense or counterclaim.
All payments under this Note shall be subject to any deduction or withholding as required by applicable law. Each Holder of a Note, if
reasonably requested by the Borrower, shall deliver documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower
as will enable the Borrower to determine whether or not and to what extent the Holder is subject to withholding, backup withholding,
or information reporting requirements.
(g)
Ranking. The Notes shall be pari passu in right of payment with respect to each other. All payments (other than payments
in respect of a conversion of Notes) to the holders of the Notes (including the Holder) shall be made pro rata among the holders based
upon the aggregate unpaid principal amount and accrued interest of the Notes outstanding as of one Business Day immediately prior to
any such payment. The Borrower shall not make, and no holder of Notes shall accept, any payment (other than payments in respect of a
conversion of Notes) except as shall be shared ratably between the holders of the Notes so as to maintain as near as possible the amount
of the indebtedness owing under the Notes pro rata according to the holders’ respective proportionate interest in the amount of
Notes Obligations owed as of the date immediately prior to such payment or payments. If one holder of the Notes obtains any payment (whether
voluntary, involuntary or by offset or otherwise, but not including any payments in respect of a conversion of Notes) of principal, interest
or other amount with respect to the Notes in excess of such holder’s pro rata share of such payments obtained by all holders of
the Notes, then the holder receiving such payment in excess of its pro rata share shall return to the Borrower, for distribution to each
of the other holders, an amount sufficient to cause all holders of the Notes to receive their respective pro rata shares of any payment
of principal, interest or other amounts with respect to the Notes.
3.
Registration of Transfers and Exchanges.
(a)
Different Denominations. This Note is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations,
as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be payable for such registration of transfer or exchange.
(b)
Reliance on Note Register. The Initial Holders are listed herein. The Borrower shall maintain a copy of each transfer and a register
for the recordation of the names and addresses of the applicable holders of the Notes, and the principal amounts (and stated interest)
of the Notes held by each holder pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Note Register”). The Company,
the Holder Representative and the holders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Note Register pursuant to the terms hereof
as a holder for all purposes of the Notes. The Note Register shall be available for inspection by the Holder Representative and any holder,
at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Prior to due presentment for transfer to the Borrower of this
Note, the Borrower and any agent of the Borrower may, upon receipt of appropriate signed notice from the Person previously listed on
the Note Register as owner hereof, treat the Person in whose name this Note is duly registered on the Note Register as the owner hereof
for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue, and neither
the Borrower nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
4.
Conversion.
(a)
Right to Convert.
(i)
Generally. At any time after the earlier of (x) the date that the Nasdaq Stockholder Approval has been obtained and (y) the date
that a Majority Holders waive the covenant contained in Section 7(ii), and until this Note is no longer outstanding, this Note
shall be convertible, in whole or in part, into the Conversion Consideration at the option of the Holder, at any time and from time to
time (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5); provided that if a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is validly
delivered pursuant to Section 6 with respect to any portion of this Note, then such portion of this Note may not be converted,
except to the extent (A) such notice is withdrawn in accordance with Section 6; or (B) the Borrower fails to pay the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Price in accordance with this Note. Provisions of this Section 4 applying to the conversion of this Note in
whole will equally apply to conversions in part.
(ii)
Conversion Consideration. Subject to Section 4(b)(vii), the type and amount of consideration due in respect of each $1
principal amount of the Principal Amount to be converted will be (together with any Interest Make-Whole Payments that may be due pursuant
to Section 4(a)(iii), the “Conversion Consideration”) (x) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion
Rate in effect on the Conversion Date for such conversion and (y) an amount in cash equal to the accrued and unpaid Cash Interest and
PIK Interest to, but excluding, the Conversion Date.
(iii)
Interest Make-Whole. In connection with any conversion pursuant to this Section 4, the Borrower shall make an interest
make-whole payment (an “Interest Make-Whole Payment”) to the Holder equal to the remaining scheduled payments of interest
that would have been made on the portion of this Note to be converted had such portion of this Note remained outstanding from the Conversion
Date through the Maturity Date as of the Conversion Date. The Borrower will satisfy its obligation to pay any Interest Make-Whole Payment,
at its election, in cash or, subject to satisfaction of the Equity Payment Conditions and the limitations set forth in Section 5,
in shares of Common Stock (together with cash in lieu of any fractional share as set forth in Section 4(b)(vii)). The Borrower
initially elects to settle any Interest Make-Whole Payment in shares of Common Stock (together with cash in lieu of any fractional share
as set forth in Section 4(b)(vii)); provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to settle any Interest Make-Whole
Payment in cash to the extent specified in Section 5. In order to change its election to pay any Interest Make-Whole Payment in
cash or in Common Shares (together with cash in lieu of any fractional share as set forth in Section 4(b)(vii)), the Borrower
must send a notice of such election to the Holder, and such change in election shall become effective for conversions with a Conversion
Date more than ten (10) Trading Days following the receipt of such notice by the Holder. If the Borrower makes an Interest Make-Whole
Payment in shares of Common Stock, then the number of shares of Common Stock (together with cash in lieu of any fractional share as set
forth in Section 4(b)(vii)) that the Holder will receive will be equal to (x) the dollar amount of the Interest Make-Whole Payment
owed to the Holder divided by (y) the Amortization/Interest Conversion Price with respect to such Conversion Date.
(b)
Conversion Procedures; Mechanics of Conversion.
(i)
Generally. To convert all or a portion of the Note, the Holder will deliver to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion, substantially
in the form attached as Annex A (each, a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying the portion of the Principal Amount
of this Note to be converted and the date on which such conversion shall be effected (such date, the “Conversion Date”).
If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is
deemed delivered hereunder. No ink-original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type
of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be required. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be
required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless the entire Principal Amount of this Note has been so converted. Conversions
hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note in an amount equal to the applicable conversion.
The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain a Conversion/PIK Schedule, containing at a minimum the information shown on Schedule 1
hereto, and showing historically, among other things, the principal amounts converted and the date of such conversions. On the date
of receipt of a Notice of Conversion, the Borrower shall transmit by facsimile or electronic mail an acknowledgment of confirmation and
representation as to whether to Borrower’s knowledge such shares of Common Stock may then be resold pursuant to Rule 144 or an
effective and available registration statement, in the form attached as Annex B, of receipt of such Notice of Conversion to the
Holder and the Transfer Agent, which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Notice of Conversion
in accordance with the terms of this Note.
(ii)
Delivery of Certificates Upon Conversion. Not later than two (2) Trading Days after a Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery
Date”), the Borrower will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder the Conversion Consideration payable pursuant to
any conversion pursuant to this Section 4 which, on or promptly after the date on which such Conversion Shares are eligible to
be sold by persons who are not affiliates (as defined in Rule 144) (and have not been affiliates at any time during the prior three months)
under Rule 144 of the Securities Act without the need for current public information and the Borrower has received an opinion of counsel
to such effect (which opinion the Borrower shall be responsible for obtaining at its sole cost and expense; provided that the
Holder may be required to execute and deliver a customary representation letter to the Borrower and the Transfer Agent), shall be free
of restrictive legends and trading restrictions, representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of this
Note by the Holder. All Conversion Shares required to be delivered by the Borrower under this Section 4 shall be delivered in
book-entry form through the facilities of the Depositary; provided that, if the Conversion Date is prior to the date on which
such Conversion Shares are eligible to be sold under Rule 144 by persons who are not affiliates (as defined in Rule 144) (and have not
been affiliates at any time during the prior three months) without the need for current public information, the Conversion Shares shall
be delivered in book-entry form with the Transfer Agent and shall bear a restrictive legend in the following form, as appropriate:
“THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
ACT”) OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE. BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF, THE HOLDER AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF REED’S, INC. (THE “COMPANY”)
THAT IT WILL NOT OFFER, SELL, PLEDGE OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THESE SECURITIES OR ANY BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN, EXCEPT: (A) TO THE COMPANY
OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF; (B) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WHICH HAS BECOME EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT; (C) PURSUANT
TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT; OR (D) PURSUANT TO ANY OTHER EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A
TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
PRIOR
TO THE REGISTRATION OF ANY TRANSFER IN ACCORDANCE WITH CLAUSE (C) OR (D) ABOVE, THE COMPANY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY
OF SUCH CERTIFICATIONS, OPINIONS OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY REASONABLY BE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSFER
IS BEING MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE AS TO THE AVAILABILITY
OF ANY EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, commencing on such date that the Conversion Shares are eligible for sale by persons who are not affiliates (as defined
in Rule 144) (and have not been affiliates at any time during the prior three months) under Rule 144, subject to current public information
requirements, but without any requirements as to volume, manner of sale or notice under the Securities Act, the Borrower, upon request
and at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower, shall obtain a legal opinion to allow for such sales under Rule 144, but only if the
holder is not an affiliate (and has not been an affiliate at any time during the prior three months) of the Borrower and current public
information as contemplated by Rule 144 is available (or not required for sales under Rule 144); provided that the Holder may
be required to execute and deliver a customary representation letter to the Borrower and the Transfer Agent.
(iii)
Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion. In addition to any other rights available to
the Holder, if the Borrower fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Conversion Shares by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to
Section 4(b)(ii), and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market
transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction
of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share
Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Borrower shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any other remedies
available to or elected by the Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage
commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the
Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise
to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue (if
surrendered) this Note in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted conversion (in which case such conversion
shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Borrower
had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 4(b)(ii). For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having
a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of this Note with respect to which the actual
sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000
under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Borrower shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide
the Borrower written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Borrower,
evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder,
at law or in equity including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Borrower’s failure
to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(iv)
Effect of Conversion; Holder of Record of Conversion Shares. Subject to Section 4(b)(v), and assuming there is no Default
in the delivery of any portion of the Conversion Consideration due pursuant to this Section 4, upon conversion of any portion
of this Note, as of the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for such conversion, (A) the converted portion of this Note will be
deemed to cease to be outstanding and (B) the Person in whose name any Conversion Share is issuable in connection with such conversion
will be deemed to be the holder of record of such Conversion Share.
(v)
Failure to Deliver Conversion Shares. If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such Conversion Shares are not delivered to
or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date as contemplated by Section 4(b)(ii), the Holder shall be entitled
to elect by written notice to the Borrower at any time on or before its receipt of such Conversion Shares, to rescind such conversion,
in which event the Borrower shall promptly return to the Holder any original Note delivered to the Borrower and the Holder shall promptly
return to the Borrower any portion of the Conversion Shares issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Notice of Conversion.
(vi)
Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. The Borrower’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon
conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by
the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any
Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged
breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Borrower or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder
or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Holder
in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a
waiver by the Borrower of any such action the Borrower may have against the Holder. In the event the Holder shall convert all or a portion
of the Principal Amount, the Borrower may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated
with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice
to the Holder, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Note shall have been sought. If the injunction is not granted,
the Borrower shall promptly comply with all conversion obligations herein. If the injunction is obtained, the Borrower must post a surety
bond for the benefit of the applicable Holder(s) in the amount of one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the outstanding Principal Amount
of this Note, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of
the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of
seeking such injunction, the Borrower shall issue Conversion Shares upon a properly noticed conversion. Nothing herein shall limit the
Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 12(a) for Borrower’s failure
to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available
to them hereunder, at law or in equity including a decree of specific performance or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights
shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any provision of this Note or under applicable law.
(vii)
Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Note.
As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to receive upon such conversion, the Borrower shall at its
election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the applicable
Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.
(viii)
Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Note shall be made
without charge to the Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such
certificates, provided that, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder so converted and
the Borrower shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance
thereof shall have paid to the Borrower the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Borrower that such
tax has been paid.
(c)
Adjustments to the Conversion Rate.
(i)
Events Requiring an Adjustment to the Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate will be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(A)
Stock Dividends, Splits and Combinations. If the Borrower issues solely shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on
all or substantially all shares of the Common Stock, or if the Borrower effects a stock split or a stock combination of the Common Stock
(in each case excluding an issuance solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 4(g) will apply), then
the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
where:
| |
CR0 |
= |
the
Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately
before the Open of Business on the effective date of such stock split or stock combination, as applicable; |
| |
CR1 |
= |
the
Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable; |
| |
|
|
|
| |
OS0 |
= |
the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date,
as applicable, without giving effect to such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination; and |
| |
|
|
|
| |
OS1 |
= |
the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock
combination. |
If
any dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination of the type described in this Section 4(c)(i)(A) is declared or announced,
but not so paid or made, then the Conversion Rate will be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not
to pay such dividend or distribution or to effect such stock split or stock combination, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in
effect had such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination not been declared or announced.
(B)
Rights, Options and Warrants. If the Borrower distributes, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, rights, options
or warrants (other than rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, as to which Sections 4(c)(i)(C)
and 4(c)(vi) will apply) entitling such holders, for a period of not more than sixty (60) calendar days after the record date
of such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last
Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately
before the date such distribution is announced, then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
where:
| |
CR0 |
= |
the
Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; |
| |
|
|
|
| |
CR1 |
= |
the
Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date; |
| |
OS |
= |
the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date; |
| |
|
|
|
| |
X |
= |
the
total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and |
| |
|
|
|
| |
Y |
= |
a
number of shares of Common Stock obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants
by (y) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on,
and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced. |
To
the extent such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that
would then be in effect had the increase to the Conversion Rate for such distribution been made on the basis of only the rights, options
or warrants, if any, actually distributed. In addition, to the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration
of such rights, options or warrants (including as a result of such rights, options or warrants not being exercised), the Conversion Rate
will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase to the Conversion Rate for such distribution
been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered upon exercise of such rights, option
or warrants.
For
purposes of this Section 4(c)(i)(B) and Section 4(f), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle holders
of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported
Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately
before the date the distribution of such rights, options or warrants is announced, and in determining the aggregate price payable to
exercise such rights, options or warrants, there will be taken into account any consideration the Borrower receives for such rights,
options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if not cash, to be determined by
the Board of Directors.
(C)
Distributions Other than Spin-Offs. If the Borrower distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness or
other assets or property of the Borrower, or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock of the Borrower or other securities,
to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding:
(1)
dividends, distributions, rights, options or warrants for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to Section
4(c)(i)(A) or Section 4(c)(i)(B);
(2)
dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to Section
4(c)(i)(E);
(3)
rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, except to the extent provided in Section 4(c)(vi);
(4)
Spin-Offs for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to Section 4(c)(i)(D);
(5)
a distribution solely pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock, as to which Section 4(c)(i)(F)
will apply; and
(6)
a distribution solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 4(g) will apply;
then
the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
where:
| |
CR0 |
= |
the
Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; |
| |
|
|
|
| |
CR1 |
= |
the
Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date; |
| |
|
|
|
| |
SP |
= |
the
average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including,
the Trading Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date; and |
| |
|
|
|
| |
FMV |
= |
the
fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors), as of such Ex-Dividend Date, of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences
of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants distributed per share of Common Stock pursuant to such distribution; |
provided,
however, that if FMV is equal to or greater than SP, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion
Rate, the Holder will receive, for each $1 Principal Amount held by the Holder on the record date for such distribution, at the same
time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, the amount and kind of shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets,
property, rights, options or warrants that the Holder would have received if the Holder had owned, on such record date, a number of shares
of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on such record date.
To
the extent such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be
in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the distribution, if any, actually made or paid.
(D)
Spin-Offs. If the Borrower distributes or dividends shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests,
of or relating to an Affiliate, a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Borrower to all or substantially all holders of the Common
Stock (other than solely pursuant to (x) a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 4(g) will apply; or (y) a tender offer
or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock, as to which Section 4(c)(i)(F) will apply), and such Capital Stock or equity interests
are listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon the consummation of the transaction) on a U.S. national securities exchange (a
“Spin-Off”), then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
where:
| |
CR0 |
= |
the
Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period for such
Spin-Off; |
| |
|
|
|
| |
CR1 |
= |
the
Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period; |
| |
|
|
|
| |
FMV |
= |
the
product of (x) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share or unit of the Capital Stock or equity interests distributed
in such Spin-Off over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the “Spin-Off Valuation Period”) beginning
on, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off (such average to be determined as if references to Common Stock in the
definitions of Last Reported Sale Price, Trading Day and Market Disruption Event were instead references to such Capital Stock or
equity interests); and (y) the number of shares or units of such Capital Stock or equity interests distributed per share of Common
Stock in such Spin-Off; and |
| |
|
|
|
| |
SP |
= |
the
average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for each Trading Day in the Spin-Off Valuation Period. |
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 4(c)(i)(D), if a Conversion Date occurs during the Spin-Off Valuation Period for such
Spin-Off, then, solely for purposes of determining the Conversion Consideration for such conversion, such Spin-Off Valuation Period will
be deemed to consist of the Trading Days occurring in the period from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off to, and
including, such Conversion Date.
To
the extent any dividend or distribution of the type set forth in this Section 4(c)(i)(D) is declared but not made or paid, the
Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only
the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.
(E)
Cash Dividends or Distributions. If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock,
then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
where:
| |
CR0 |
= |
the
Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; |
| |
|
|
|
| |
CR1 |
= |
the
Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date; |
| |
|
|
|
| |
SP |
= |
the
Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date; and |
| |
|
|
|
| |
D |
= |
the
cash amount distributed per share of Common Stock in such dividend or distribution; |
provided,
however, that if D is equal to or greater than SP, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Rate,
the Holder will receive, for each $1 Principal Amount held by the Holder on the record date for such dividend or distribution, at the
same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, the amount of cash that the Holder would have received if the Holder had
owned, on such record date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on such record date.
To
the extent such dividend or distribution is declared but not made or paid, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate
that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or
paid.
(F)
Tender Offers or Exchange Offers. If the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange
offer for shares of Common Stock (other than solely pursuant to an odd-lot tender offer pursuant to Rule 13e-4(h)(5) under the Exchange
Act), and the value (determined as of the Expiration Time by the Board of Directors) of the cash and other consideration paid per share
of Common Stock in such tender or exchange offer exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately
after the last date (the “Expiration Date”) on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange
offer (as it may be amended), then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
where:
| |
CR0 |
= |
the
Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation
Period for such tender or exchange offer; |
| |
CR1 |
= |
the
Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation
Period; |
| |
|
|
|
| |
AC |
= |
the
aggregate value (determined as of the time (the “Expiration Time”) such tender or exchange offer expires by the
Board of Directors) of all cash and other consideration paid for shares of Common Stock purchased or exchanged in such tender or
exchange offer; |
| |
|
|
|
| |
OS0 |
= |
the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Expiration Time (including all shares of Common Stock accepted
for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); |
| |
|
|
|
| |
OS1 |
= |
the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Expiration Time (excluding all shares of Common Stock accepted
for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and |
| |
|
|
|
| |
SP |
= |
the
average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the “Tender/Exchange
Offer Valuation Period”) beginning on, and including, the Trading Day immediately after the Expiration Date; |
provided,
however, that the Conversion Rate will in no event be adjusted down pursuant to this Section 4(c)(i)(F), except to the
extent provided in the immediately following paragraph. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(c)(i)(F), if
the Conversion Date for a Note occurs during the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period for such tender or exchange offer, then, solely
for purposes of determining the Conversion Consideration for such conversion, such Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period will be deemed
to consist of the Trading Days occurring in the period from, and including, the Trading Day immediately after the Expiration Date to,
and including, such Conversion Date.
To
the extent such tender or exchange offer is announced but not consummated (including as a result of the Borrower being precluded from
consummating such tender or exchange offer under applicable law), or any purchases or exchanges of shares of Common Stock in such tender
or exchange offer are rescinded, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment
been made on the basis of only the purchases or exchanges of shares of Common Stock, if any, actually made, and not rescinded, in such
tender or exchange offer.
(ii)
No Adjustments in Certain Cases. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4(c)(i), the Borrower will not be
obligated to adjust the Conversion Rate on account of a transaction or other event otherwise requiring an adjustment pursuant to Section
4(c)(i) (other than a stock split or combination of the type set forth in Section 4(c)(i)(A) or a tender or exchange offer
of the type set forth in Section 4(c)(i)(F)) if the Holder participates, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of
Common Stock, and solely by virtue of holding this Note, in such transaction or event without having to convert this Note and as if the
Holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (A) the Conversion Rate in effect on the related record date and
(B) the aggregate Principal Amount on such date.
(iii)
Certain Events. The Borrower will not be required to adjust the Conversion Rate except as provided in Section 4(c) or Section
4(e). Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower will not be obligated to adjust the Conversion Rate on account of:
(A)
except as otherwise provided in Section 4(c), the sale of shares of Common Stock for a purchase price that is less than the market
price per share of Common Stock or less than the Conversion Price;
(B)
the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest
payable on the Borrower’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any such
plan;
(C)
the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future
employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of, or assumed by, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries;
(D)
the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or convertible or exchangeable security of the Borrower
outstanding as of the Initial Closing Date;
(E)
solely a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or
(F)
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes.
(iv)
Adjustments Not Yet Effective. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if:
(A)
the record date, effective date or Expiration Time for any event that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section
4(c)(i) has occurred on or before the Conversion Date for such conversion, but an adjustment to the Conversion Rate for such event
has not yet become effective as of such Conversion Date, as applicable;
(B)
the Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion includes any whole shares of Common Stock; and
(C)
such shares are not entitled to participate in such event (because they were not held on the related record date or otherwise),
then,
solely for purposes of such conversion, the Borrower will, without duplication, give effect to such adjustment on such Conversion Date.
In such case, if the date on which the Borrower is otherwise required to deliver the consideration due upon such conversion is before
the first date on which the amount of such adjustment can be determined, then the Borrower will delay the settlement of such conversion
until the second (2nd) Business Day after such first date.
(v)
Conversion Rate Adjustments where the Holder Participates in the Relevant Transaction or Event. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, if:
(A)
a Conversion Rate adjustment for any dividend or distribution becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date pursuant to Section 4(c)(i);
(B)
the Conversion Date for such conversion occurs on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or before the related record date;
(C)
the Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion includes any whole shares of Common Stock, in each case based on a Conversion Rate
that is adjusted for such dividend or distribution; and
(D)
such shares would be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution;
then
such Conversion Rate adjustment will not be given effect for such conversion and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion
based on such unadjusted Conversion Rate will not be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution, but there will be added,
to the Conversion Consideration otherwise due upon such conversion, the same kind and amount of consideration that would have been delivered
in such dividend or distribution with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares been entitled to participate in such dividend
or distribution.
(vi)
Stockholder Rights Plans. If any shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon conversion of this Note and, at the time of such
conversion, the Borrower has in effect any stockholder rights plan, then the Holder will be entitled to receive, in addition to, and
concurrently with the delivery of, the Conversion Consideration otherwise payable upon such conversion, the rights set forth in such
stockholder rights plan, unless such rights have separated from the Common Stock at such time, in which case, and only in such case,
the Conversion Rate will be adjusted pursuant to Section 4(c)(i)(C) on account of such separation as if, at the time of such separation,
the Borrower had made a distribution of the type referred to in Section 4(c)(i)(C) to all holders of the Common Stock, subject
to potential readjustment in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 4(c)(i)(C).
(vii)
Limitation on Effecting Transactions Resulting in Certain Adjustments. The Borrower will not engage in or be a party to any transaction
or event that would require the Conversion Rate to be adjusted pursuant to Section 4(c)(i) or Section 4(e) to an amount
that would result in the Conversion Price per share of Common Stock being less than the par value per share of Common Stock.
(viii)
Equitable Adjustments to Prices. Whenever any provision of this Note requires the Borrower to calculate the average of the Last
Reported Sale Prices, Daily VWAPs, or any function thereof, over a period of multiple days (including to calculate an adjustment to the
Conversion Rate), the Borrower will make proportionate adjustments, if any, to such calculations to account for any adjustment to the
Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 4(c)(i)(A) that becomes effective, or any event requiring such an adjustment to the Conversion
Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable, of such event occurs, at any time during such period.
(ix)
Calculation of Number of Outstanding Shares of Common Stock. For purposes of Section 4(c)(i), the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding at any time will (i) include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions
of shares of Common Stock and (ii) exclude shares of Common Stock held in the Borrower’s treasury (unless the Borrower pays any
dividend or makes any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in its treasury).
(x)
Calculations. All calculations with respect to the Conversion Rate and adjustments thereto will be made by the Borrower to the
nearest 1/10,000th of a share of Common Stock (with 5/100,000ths rounded upward). The Borrower shall be responsible for making all calculations
called for under or in connection with the Notes. These calculations include, but are not limited to, determinations of the Stock Price,
the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock, accrued interest payable on the Notes and the Conversion Rate of the Notes. The Borrower
shall make all these calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, such calculations shall be final and binding on the Holders
of Notes. Upon written request, the Borrower shall provide a schedule of its calculations to the Holder Representative, and the Holder
Representative is entitled to rely conclusively upon the accuracy of the Borrower’s calculations without independent verification.
The Holder Representative will forward the Borrower’s calculations to any Holder upon the request of that Holder at the sole cost
and expense of the Borrower.
The
Holder Representative shall not have any responsibility for making any calculations, for determining amounts to be paid or for monitoring
stock price or be charged with any knowledge of or have any duties to monitor any measurement period.
(xi)
Notice of Conversion Rate Adjustments. Upon the effectiveness of any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section
4(c)(i), the Borrower will promptly send written notice to the Holder containing (A) a brief description of the transaction or other
event on account of which such adjustment was made; (B) the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after such adjustment; and (C) the
effective time of such adjustment.
(d)
Voluntary Adjustments. To the extent permitted by law and applicable stock exchange rules, the Borrower, from time to time, may
(but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate by any amount if (A) the Board of Directors determines that such increase is either
(x) in the best interest of the Borrower; or (y) advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax imposed on holders of Common Stock or
rights to purchase Common Stock as a result of any dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) of Common Stock or
any similar event; (B) such increase is in effect for a period of at least twenty (20) Business Days; and (C) such increase is irrevocable
during such period. If the Board of Directors determines to increase the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 4(d), then,
no later than the first Business Day of the related twenty (20) Business Day period referred to in this Section 4(d), the Borrower
will send notice to each Holder and the Holder Representative of such increase, the amount thereof and the period during which such increase
will be in effect.
(e)
Adjustments to the Conversion Rate in Connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
(i)
Generally. If a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs and the Conversion Date for the conversion of part or all of this Note occurs
during the related Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion Period, then, subject to this Section 4(e), the Conversion Rate applicable
to such conversion will be increased by a number of shares (the “Additional Shares”) set forth in the table below
corresponding (after interpolation as provided in, and subject to, the provisions below) to the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective
Date and the Stock Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change:
| Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date | |

If
such Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date or Stock Price is not set forth in the table above, then:
(A)
if such Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table above or the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date is between two
dates in the table above, then the number of Additional Shares will be determined by straight-line interpolation between the numbers
of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices in the table above or the earlier and later dates in the table above,
based on a 365- or 366-day year, as applicable; and
(B)
if the Stock Price is greater than $2.00 (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings
of the table above are adjusted pursuant to Section 4(e)(ii), or less than $0.10 (subject to adjustment in the same manner), per
share, then no Additional Shares will be added to the Conversion Rate.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Note, in no event will the Conversion Rate be increased to an amount that exceeds 6.0776 shares of Common
Stock per $1 Principal Amount, which amount is subject to adjustment in the same manner as, and at the same time and for the same events
for which, the Conversion Rate is required to be adjusted pursuant to Section 4(c).
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Note, if an Interest Make-Whole Payment is due in respect of a conversion of part or all of this Note
entitled to Additional Shares pursuant to this Section 4(e), the Holder of such Note shall be entitled to receive the greater
of the Interest Make-Whole Payment or such Additional Shares, but not both; provided that the arithmetic average of the Daily
VWAP for the five (5) VWAP Trading Days ending on the VWAP Trading Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date shall be used to determine
the value of such Additional Shares for this purpose.
(ii)
Adjustment of Stock Prices and Number of Additional Shares. The Stock Prices in the first row (i.e., the column headers)
of the table set forth in Section 4(e)(i) will be adjusted in the same manner as, and at the same time and for the same events
for which, the Conversion Price is adjusted as a result of the operation of Section 4(c). The numbers of Additional Shares in
the table set forth in Section 4(e)(i) will be adjusted in the same manner as, and at the same time and for the same events for
which, the Conversion Rate is adjusted pursuant to Section 4(c).
(iii)
Notice of the Occurrence of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change. The Borrower will notify the Holder and the Holder Representative
in writing of each Make-Whole Fundamental Change in accordance with Section 4(f).
(f)
Notice of the Occurrence of Certain Corporate Events. If the Borrower elects to (I) distribute, to all or substantially all holders
of Common Stock, any rights, options or warrants (other than rights issued pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, so long as such rights
have not separated from the Common Stock and are not exercisable until the occurrence of a triggering event, except that such rights
will be deemed to be distributed under this clause (I) upon their separation from the Common Stock or upon the occurrence of such triggering
event) entitling them, for a period of not more than sixty (60) calendar days after the record date of such distribution, to subscribe
for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share
of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such
distribution is announced (determined in the manner set forth in the third paragraph of Section 4(c)(i)(B)); or (II) distribute,
to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, assets or securities of the Borrower or rights to purchase the Borrower’s
securities, which distribution per share of Common Stock has a value, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors, exceeding ten
percent (10%) of the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution
is announced, then, in either case, (x) the Borrower will send notice of such distribution to the Holders and the Holder Representative
at least twenty five (25) Scheduled Trading Days before the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution (or, if later in the case of any such
separation of rights issued pursuant to a stockholder rights plan or the occurrence of any such triggering event under a stockholder
rights plan, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Borrower becomes aware that such separation or triggering event has occurred
or will occur). If a Fundamental Change, Make-Whole Fundamental Change (other than a Make-Whole Fundamental Change pursuant to clause
(B) of the definition thereof) or Common Stock Change Event occurs (other than a merger or other business combination transaction that
is effected solely to change the Borrower’s jurisdiction of incorporation and that does not constitute a Fundamental Change or
a Make-Whole Fundamental Change), then, in each case, then, no later than the effective date thereof, the Borrower will send notice to
the Holder of such transaction or event and such effective date.
(g)
Effect of Common Stock Change Event.
(i)
Generally. If there occurs any:
(A)
recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than (x) changes solely resulting from a subdivision or combination
of the Common Stock, (y) a change only in par value or from par value to no par value or no par value to par value and (z) stock splits
and stock combinations that do not involve the issuance of any other series or class of securities);
(B)
consolidation, merger, combination or binding or statutory share exchange involving the Borrower;
(C)
sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any
Person; or
(D)
other similar event,
and,
as a result of which, the Common Stock is converted into, or is exchanged for, or represents solely the right to receive, other securities,
cash or other property, or any combination of the foregoing (such an event, a “Common Stock Change Event,” and such
other securities, cash or property, the “Reference Property,” and the amount and kind of Reference Property that a
holder of one (1) share of Common Stock would be entitled to receive on account of such Common Stock Change Event (without giving effect
to any arrangement not to issue or deliver a fractional portion of any security or other property), a “Reference Property Unit”),
then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note,
(1)
from and after the effective time of such Common Stock Change Event, (I) the Conversion Consideration due upon conversion will be determined
in the same manner as if each reference to any number of shares of Common Stock in this Section 4 (or in any related definitions)
were instead a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units and (II) for purposes of the definitions of “Fundamental
Change” and “Make-Whole Fundamental Change,” references to “Common Stock” and the Borrower’s “Common
Equity” will be deemed to refer to the Common Equity, if any, forming part of such Reference Property;
(2)
if such Reference Property Unit consists entirely of cash, then (I) each conversion of any Note with a Conversion Date that occurs on
or after the effective date of such Common Stock Change Event will be settled entirely in cash in an amount, per $1 principal amount
of this Note being converted, equal to the product of (x) the Conversion Rate in effect on such Conversion Date (as may be increased
by any Additional Shares pursuant to Section 4(e)) and (y) the amount of cash constituting such Reference Property Unit, together
with an Interest Make-Whole Payment, if applicable, which shall be payable solely in cash (regardless of whether the Borrower elected
to settle Interest Make-Whole Payments in shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 4(c)(i)(B) and (II) the Borrower will
settle each such conversion no later than the second (2nd) Business Day after the relevant Conversion Date; and
(3)
for these purposes, (I) the Daily VWAP of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that consists of a class of Common Equity securities
will be determined by reference to the definition of “Daily VWAP,” substituting, if applicable, the Bloomberg page for such
class of securities in such definition; and (II) the Daily VWAP of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist
of a class of Common Equity securities, and the Last Reported Sale Price of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does
not consist of a class of securities, will be the fair value of such Reference Property Unit or portion thereof, as applicable, determined
in good faith by the Borrower (or, in the case of cash denominated in U.S. dollars, the face amount thereof).
If
the Reference Property consists of more than a single type of consideration to be determined based in part upon any form of stockholder
election, then the composition of the Reference Property Unit will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration
actually received, per share of Common Stock, by the holders of Common Stock. The Borrower will notify the Holder of such weighted average
as soon as practicable after such determination is made.
At
or before the effective time of such Common Stock Change Event, the Borrower and the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if not
the Borrower) of such Common Stock Change Event (the “Successor Person”) will execute and deliver to the Holder one
or more documents (x) providing for subsequent conversions of this Note in the manner set forth in this Section 4(g); (y) providing
for subsequent adjustments to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 4(c)(i) in a manner consistent with this Section 4(g);
and (z) containing such other provisions that are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of the Holder and to give effect to
the provisions of this Section 4(g). If the Reference Property includes shares of stock or other securities or assets (other than
cash) of a Person other than the Successor Person, then such other Person will also execute such documentation, which will contain such
additional provisions, if any, that the Borrower reasonably determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of the Holder.
(ii)
Notice of Common Stock Change Events. The Borrower will provide notice of each Common Stock Change Event in the manner provided
in Section 4(f).
(iii)
Compliance Covenant. The Borrower will not become a party to any Common Stock Change Event unless its terms are consistent with
this Section 4(g).
5.
Limitations on Conversions and Other Share Issuances.
(a)
Share Conversion Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, prior to the Authorized Share Amendment Date, the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon under the Notes will be subject to, and shall not exceed, the Share Conversion
Cap, including shares of Common Stock issuable upon (x) conversion of all of the Notes in the aggregate, (y) satisfaction of all Interest
Make-Whole Payments or any analogous interest make-whole payments on any of the Notes in shares of Common Stock and (z) satisfaction
of any portion of any Amortization Payments in shares of Common Stock or any analogous amortization payments on any of the Notes, to
the extent permissible, in shares of Common Stock. To the extent that the Borrower is unable to issue any shares of Common Stock otherwise
issuable pursuant to the terms of this Note as a result of the application of this Section 5(a):
(i)
in the case such shares of Common Stock that are unable to be issued would be used to satisfy a conversion of this Note in whole or in
part, the Borrower shall be required to, at the election of the Holder, either (A) pay an amount in cash for any shares not so delivered
in an amount based on the Conversion Price in the case of a conversion of part or all of this Note or (B) allow the Holder to revoke,
in whole or in part, its related Notice of Conversion, in which event the portion of this Note to be converted shall not be extinguished
and any entries to the contrary in the Conversion/PIK Schedule shall be reversed; and
(ii)
in the case such shares of Common Stock that are unable to be issued would be used to satisfy any portion of an Interest Make-Whole Payment
or Amortization Payment, the Borrower shall be deemed for all purposes under this Note to have elected to make the applicable Interest
Make-Whole Payment or Amortization Payment solely in cash.
Prior
to the Authorized Share Amendment Date, whenever the Share Conversion Cap is adjusted as herein provided, the Borrower shall prepare
a notice of such adjustment of the Share Conversion Cap setting forth the adjusted Share Conversion Cap and the date on which each adjustment
becomes effective and shall send such notice of such adjustment to the Holder. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality
or validity of any such adjustment.
(b)
Beneficial Ownership Limitations.
(i)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, the Holder will not be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock upon conversion
of Notes (including as part of any Interest Make-Whole Payment) or as any portion of any Amortization Payment, and no conversion of Notes
or payment of any portion of any Amortization Payment in shares of Common Stock shall take place, to the extent (but only to the extent)
that such receipt (or conversion or payment) would cause the Holder and its Attribution Parties to beneficially own shares of Common
Stock in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitations. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Holder and its Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of this Note (including as part of any Interest Make-Whole Payment) or as any portion of any Amortization Payment in shares of Common
Stock with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable
upon (1) conversion of the remaining, unconverted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Attribution Parties
and (ii) exercise, conversion or exchange of the unexercised, unconverted or unexchanged portion of any other securities of the Borrower
subject to a limitation on exercise, conversion or exchange analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder
or any of its Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this provision, beneficial ownership
shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and a determination as to any “group” status shall
be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Any purported delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion
of this Note (including as part of any Interest Make-Whole Payment) or as payment of any portion of any Amortization Payment in shares
of Common Stock shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that such delivery would result in the Holder
exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in violation of this Section 5(b).
(ii)
To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 5(b) applies, the determination of whether and the extent that this
Note is convertible (in relation to other securities beneficially owned by the Holder) or that any portion of an Amortization Payment
can be made in shares of Common Stock shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and, unless otherwise indicated in writing, the
submission of a Notice of Conversion or written confirmation regarding the applicability of this Section 5(b) upon request by
the Borrower shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether and the extent that this Note may be converted (in relation
to other securities beneficially owned by the Holder) or any portion of an Amortization Payment can be made in shares of Common Stock,
in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, unless otherwise indicated in
writing connection with a Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to represent to the Borrower each time it delivers a Notice
of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this Section 5(b).
(iii)
For purposes of this Section 5(b), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (1) the Borrower’s most recent periodic
or annual report filed with the SEC, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Borrower, or (3) a more recent
written notice by the Borrower or the Transfer Agent to the Holder setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon
request, the Borrower shall within two Trading Days confirm in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.
In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the exercise, conversion or
exchange of securities of the Borrower, including this Note, by the Holder since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares
of Common Stock was reported.
(iv)
The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note. The Holder, upon written notice
to the Borrower, may elect a beneficial ownership limit that is less than or equal to 9.9%. Any such election will be effective as of
the date specified in such notice, which shall not be earlier than (i) the date such notice is delivered to the Borrower in the event
such notice decreases the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and (ii) 61 days after the date such notice is delivered to the Borrower in
all other cases.
(v)
To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 5(b) applies:
(A)
in the case such shares of Common Stock that are unable to be issued would be used to satisfy a conversion of this Note in whole or in
part, the Holder may either (1) revoke, in whole or in part, its related Notice of Conversion, in which event the portion of this Note
to be converted shall not be extinguished and any entries to the contrary in the Conversion/PIK Schedule shall be reversed or (2) when
possible, certify to the Borrower that the Person (or Persons) receiving shares of Common Stock upon conversion is not, and would not,
as a result of such conversion, become the beneficial owner of shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time in excess of the applicable
Beneficial Ownership Limitation, after which the Borrower shall cause to be delivered any such shares of Common Stock withheld on account
of such applicable Beneficial Ownership Limitation no later than two Trading Days after receipt of such certification; provided,
however, until such time as the affected Holder gives such certification, no Person shall be deemed to be the shareholder of record
with respect to the shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon conversion in excess of any applicable Beneficial Ownership Limitation;
and
(B)
in the case such shares of Common Stock that are unable to be issued would be used to satisfy any portion of an Interest Make-Whole Payment
or Amortization Payment, the Borrower shall be deemed for all purposes under this Note to have elected to make the applicable Interest
Make-Whole Payment or Amortization Payment solely in cash.
6.
Repurchase at the Option of the Holder Upon a Fundamental Change.
(a)
If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time, the Holder shall have the right, at its option, to require the Borrower to repurchase for
cash all or any portion of the Notes, on the date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) specified by the Borrower
that is not less than twenty (20) Business Day or more than thirty-five (35) Business Day following the date of the Fundamental Change
Borrower Notice at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the Principal Amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding,
the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”).
(b)
Repurchases under this Section 6 shall be made, at the option of the Holder, upon:
(i)
delivery to the Borrower of a duly completed notice (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”) in the form set forth
in Annex C hereto on or before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Date; and
(ii)
if the entire remaining Principal Amount of this Note is being repurchased, delivery of this Note to the Borrower at any time after delivery
of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements for transfer), such delivery being a condition
to receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor.
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall have the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, such Fundamental Change Repurchase
Notice at any time prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date by
delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Borrower in accordance with Section 6(c).
(c)
On or before the twentieth (20th) Business Day after the occurrence of the effective date of a Fundamental Change, the Borrower
shall provide to the Holder a notice (the “Fundamental Change Borrower Notice”) of the occurrence of the effective
date of the Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right at the option of the Holder arising as a result thereof specifying the following:
(i) the events causing the Fundamental Change; (ii) the date of the Fundamental Change; (iii) the last date on which the Holder may exercise
the repurchase right pursuant to this Section 6; (iv) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price; (v) the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Date; and (vi) if applicable, the Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the Conversion Rate. No failure of the Borrower to give the
foregoing notice and no defect therein shall limit the Holder’s repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for
the repurchase of this Note pursuant to this Section 6.
(d)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be repurchased by the Borrower on any date at the option of the Holders upon a Fundamental
Change if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to such date
(except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Borrower in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price
with respect to such Notes).
(e)
To the extent that, as a result of a change in law occurring after the first date on which this Note is issued, the provisions of any
applicable securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Note relating to the Borrower’s obligations to purchase
the Notes upon a Fundamental Change, the Borrower shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed
to have breached its obligations under such provisions of this Note by virtue of such conflict.
(f)
A Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn (in whole or in part) by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to
the Borrower at any time prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date,
specifying the Principal Amount with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, and the Principal Amount, if any,
that remains subject to the original Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.
(g)
The Borrower will set aside, segregate and hold in trust on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Date an amount of money, in immediately available funds, sufficient to repurchase all of the Notes to be repurchased at the appropriate
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Subject to receipt of Notes, payment for Notes surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn prior
to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date) will be made on the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date by mailing checks for the amount payable to the Holders of such Notes entitled thereto as they shall appear in
the Note Register.
(h)
In connection with any repurchase offer, the Borrower will, if required: (i) comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and
any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act that may then be applicable; (ii) file a Schedule TO or any other required schedule
under the Exchange Act; and (iii) otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws in connection with any offer by the Borrower
to repurchase the Notes; in each case, so as to permit the rights and obligations under this Section 6 to be exercised in the time and
in the manner specified in this Section 6.
7.
Covenants.
(a)
Registration Rights; Additional Interest. The Borrower agrees that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of the Registration
Rights Agreement. By its acceptance hereof, the Holder will have agreed to be bound by the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement
relating to the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). If a Registration Default occurs under the
Registration Rights Agreement, the Borrower shall pay Additional Interest on this Note in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement.
Any Additional Interest that accrues on this Note will be payable on the same dates and in the same manner as the Cash Interest on this
Note; provided, however, that in no event will Additional Interest that may accrue pursuant to this Section 7(a) accrue
on any day on this Note at a rate per annum that exceeds one half of one percent (0.50%). Any Additional Interest that accrues on this
Note will be in addition to the Cash Interest and the PIK Interest that accrues on this Note.
(b)
Good Standing. Each Note Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain its organizational existence and good
standing in its jurisdiction of organization and maintain qualification in each other material jurisdiction. Each Note Party shall, and
shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain in force all material licenses, approvals and agreements.
(c)

thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month after the Original Issue Date, consolidated financial statements of the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries, including a cash flow statement, income statement and balance sheet for the period reported, and certified by a
Responsible Officer; (ii) as soon as available, but in any event within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower,

with an unqualified opinion on the financial statements from an independent certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to
the Majority Holders; (iii) as soon as available, but in any event within forty-five (45) days after the end of each fiscal year of the
Borrower, an annual operating budget and financial projections (including income statements, balance sheets and cash flow statements)
for the subsequent fiscal year, presented in a quarterly format, as approved by the Board of Directors and the Majority Holders (with
the Majority Holders’ approval not to be unreasonably withheld); (iv) upon the Holder’s request, within thirty (30) days
after the end of any month that ends on the last day of a fiscal quarter, together with the delivery of the financial statements required
pursuant to clause (i) above for such month, a management’s discussion and analysis of the important operational and financial
developments during such fiscal quarter with a comparison to such period during the prior year; (v) copies of all statements, reports
and notices sent or made available generally by the Borrower to its security holders and debt holders, when made available to such holders;
(vi) promptly upon receipt of notice thereof, a report of any legal actions pending or threatened against the Borrower or any Subsidiary
that could result in damages to the Borrower or any Subsidiary exceeding $100,000, fines, penalties or other sanctions by any Governmental
Authority, or claims for injunctive or equitable relief; (vii) promptly upon receipt thereof (but in any event no more than three (3)
Business Days thereafter), (A) copies of any amendments, waivers, consents or other modifications to the ABL Debt Documents and (B) notices
of default required to be delivered pursuant to the ABL Debt Documents and (viii) other financial information as the Holder may reasonably
request from time to time promptly after such request.
(e)
Certificates of Compliance. Each time financial statements are required to be furnished pursuant to Section 7(d) above,
there shall be delivered to the Holder a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer (each a “Compliance Certificate”)
certifying that as of the end of the reporting period for such financial statements, the Note Parties were in full compliance with all
of the terms and conditions of the Note Documents, and setting forth such other information as the Holder shall reasonably request.
(f)
Notice of Defaults. As soon as possible, and in any event within three (3) Business Days after the discovery of a Default or an
Event of Default, the Borrower shall notify the Holder Representative, Collateral Agent and the Holder in writing of the facts relating
to or giving rise to such Default or Event of Default and the action which the Note Parties propose to take with respect thereto.
(g)
Taxes. Each Note Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, make due and timely payment or deposit of all federal
and material state and local Taxes, assessments or contributions required of it by Law or imposed on its income or upon any properties
belonging to it, and will, upon request, furnish the Holder with proof satisfactory to the Majority Holders indicating that each Note
Party and each Subsidiary thereof has made such payments or deposits; provided that the Note Parties and their Subsidiaries need
not make any payment if the amount or validity of such payment is contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and is fully reserved
against by the Note Parties and their Subsidiaries.
(h)
Maintenance. Each Note Party, at its expense, shall maintain the Collateral in good condition, normal wear and tear and casualty
and condemnation excepted, and will comply in all material respects with all Laws to which the use and operation of the Collateral may
be or become subject. Such obligation shall extend to repair and replacement of any partial loss or damage to the Collateral, regardless
of the cause, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(i)
Insurance.
(i)
Each Note Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain, at its sole cost and expense, with financially sound and
reputable insurance companies not affiliates of the Note Parties or their Subsidiaries, insurance with respect to the Collateral and
its and its Subsidiaries’ properties and businesses against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured against by Persons
engaged in the same or similar business, of such types and in such amounts as are customarily carried under similar circumstances by
such other Persons. All such policies of insurance shall be in such form, with such companies, and in such amounts as are reasonably
satisfactory to the Majority Holders.
(ii)
From and after the date that is thirty (30) days after the Initial Closing Date, all such policies of property insurance shall contain
a lender’s loss payable endorsement, in a form satisfactory to the Majority Holders, showing the Collateral Agent for its benefit
and the benefit of the Holder Representative and the holders of Notes as a loss payee thereof, and all liability insurance policies shall
show the Collateral Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the Holder Representative and the holders of Notes as an additional insured
and shall specify that the insurer must give at least thirty (30) days’ notice to the Collateral Agent before canceling its policy
for any reason (except for nonpayment, which shall be ten (10) days’ prior notice); provided that the Collateral Agent shall have
no obligation or duty to obtain or monitor insurance in respect of the Collateral. Each Note Party shall promptly deliver to the Holder
its current copy of such policies of insurance, evidence of the payments of all premiums therefor and insurance certificates and related
endorsements thereto, it being understood that any time there is a change or renewal of insurance, it is the Note Parties’ obligation
to promptly deliver such materials to the Holder.
(iii)
The Note Parties shall bear the risk of the Collateral being lost, stolen, destroyed, damaged beyond repair, rendered permanently unfit
for use, or seized by a Governmental Authority for any reason whatsoever at any time.
(j)
Intellectual Property Rights.
(i)
With respect to registration or pending application of each item of its Intellectual Property for which such Note Party has standing
to do so, each Note Party agrees to take, at its expense, all reasonable steps, including in the USPTO, the USCO and any other Governmental
Authority located in the United States, to pursue the registration and maintenance of each material Patent, Trademark, or Copyright registration
or application now or hereafter included in the Intellectual Property of such Note Party that is not an Excluded Asset.
(ii)
No Note Party shall do or permit any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any of its Intellectual Property or Licenses, excluding
Excluded Assets, may lapse, be terminated or become invalid or unenforceable or placed in the public domain (or in the case of a trade
secret, become publicly known).
(iii)
Each Grantor shall take all reasonable steps to preserve and protect each item of its Intellectual Property and Licenses, including maintaining
the quality of any and all products or services used or provided in connection with any of its Trademarks, consistent with the quality
of the products and services as of the date hereof, and taking reasonable steps necessary to ensure that all licensed users of any of
its Trademarks abide by the applicable License’s terms with respect to standards of quality.
(iv)
(iv) Concurrently with the delivery of each Compliance Certificate for the months ending March 31, June 30, September 30 and December
31 of each year pursuant to Section 7(e), the Note Parties shall give the Holder written notice of: (A) any registration or filing of
any Trademark, Copyright or Patent by any Note Party or any Subsidiary thereof, including the date of such registration or filing, the
registration or filing numbers, the location of such registration or filing, and a general description of such registration or filing;
(B) any intent-to-use Trademark application of any Note Party that no longer qualifies as an Excluded Asset; (C) any material change
to any Note Party’s or any Subsidiary’s Intellectual Property, but excluding changes to source code, operating manuals and
the like made in the ordinary course of business and (E) any Note Party’s knowledge of an event that could reasonably be expected
to materially and adversely affect the value of its or any Subsidiary’s Intellectual Property. Within five (5) Business Days (or
such longer period as the Majority Holders may agree in their reasonable discretion) following the delivery of such Compliance Certificate,
the applicable Note Parties shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent Intellectual Property Security Agreements containing a
description of such Intellectual Property (other than any Excluded Asset) in appropriate form for filing and recording in the USPTO or
USCO, as applicable, and shall promptly file and record with the USPTO or USCO, as applicable, and provide evidence thereof to the Collateral
Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions hereof shall automatically apply to such Intellectual Property (other than any Excluded
Asset) and such Intellectual Property (other than any Excluded Asset) shall automatically constitute Article 9 Collateral hereunder.
(v)
The Collateral Agent (as directed by the Majority Holders) or the Holder may audit the Note Parties’ Intellectual Property to confirm
compliance with this Section, provided such audit may not occur more often than twice per year, unless an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing. The Collateral Agent and the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take, at the Note Parties’
sole expense, any actions that any Note Party is required under this Section to take but which such Note Party fails to take, after fifteen
(15) days’ notice to the Borrower. The Note Parties shall reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent and the Holder for all costs,
charges and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in the exercise of its rights
under the previous sentence.
(k)
Formation or Acquisition of Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding and without limiting the negative covenants contained in Section 7(x)
or Section 8, within thirty (30) days of the date that any Note Party forms any direct or indirect Subsidiary or acquires (including
by division) any direct or indirect Subsidiary, such Note Party shall (i) cause such new Subsidiary to provide to the Collateral Agent
a Joinder Agreement, together with such other Note Documents, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Majority Holders and the
Collateral Agent, as to its rights, duties and obligations, as applicable, (including being sufficient to grant the Collateral Agent,
for its benefit and for the benefit of the Holder Representative and the holders of Notes, a first priority Lien (subject to Permitted
Liens) in and to the assets of such newly formed or acquired Subsidiary), (ii) provide to the Collateral Agent appropriate certificates
and powers and financing statements, pledging all of the direct or beneficial ownership interest in such new Subsidiary (to the extent
the same constitutes Collateral), in form and substance satisfactory to the Majority Holders and (iii) provide to the Collateral Agent
all other documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Majority Holders that in their opinion is appropriate with respect
to the execution and delivery of the applicable documentation referred to above, including all documentation and other information which
the Collateral Agent may reasonably request with respect to any new Subsidiary that signs and delivers a Joinder Agreement in order to
comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations,
including the USA PATRIOT ACT, the USA FREEDOM Act, an IRS Form W-9 or other applicable tax forms.
(l)
Defense of Article 9 Collateral. Each Note Party shall, at its own expense, upon the reasonable request of the Majority Holders,
take any and all commercially reasonable actions necessary to defend title to all material amounts of the Article 9 Collateral against
all Persons and to defend the Security Interest of the Collateral Agent in the Article 9 Collateral and the priority thereof against

and at any time when all Opt-In Notices from the Holder have been revoked, the Borrower shall not deliver to the Holder any information
pursuant to any Note Document (other than the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under this Note) that would constitute material

required to be delivered that would constitute material non-public information regarding the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided,
however, that the Holder may revoke any such Opt-In Notice in writing at any time. Following receipt of an Opt-In Notice from
the Holder, the Borrower shall deliver such information to the Holder until the Opt-In Notice is subsequently revoked. To avoid doubt,

8.
Consolidation, Merger, Sale, Conveyance and Lease.
(a)
Borrower May Consolidate, Etc. on Certain Terms. Subject to the provisions of Section 8(b), the Borrower shall not consolidate
with, merge with or into, or sell, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties and assets to another Person,
unless:
(i)
the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Borrower”), if not the Borrower, shall be a corporation
organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and the Successor
Borrower (if not the Borrower) shall expressly assume all of the obligations of the Borrower under the Notes and the other Note Documents;
and
(ii)
immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
For
purposes of this Section 8(a), the sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one
or more Subsidiaries of the Borrower to another Person, which properties and assets, if held by the Borrower instead of such Subsidiaries,
would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Borrower on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be
the sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Borrower to another Person.
(b)
Successor Borrower to Be Substituted. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease and upon
the assumption by the Successor Borrower, by supplements or amendments to this Note and the other Note Documents, executed and delivered
to the Collateral Agent, the Holder Representative and the holders of Notes, as applicable, satisfactory in form to the Collateral Agent,
the Holder Representative (as to their respective rights, duties and obligations, as applicable) and the holders of Notes, of the due
and punctual payment of the principal of and any accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Notes, the due and punctual delivery or payment,
as the case may be, of any consideration due upon conversion of the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants
and conditions of this Note and the other Note Documents to be performed by the Borrower, such Successor Borrower (if not the Borrower)
shall succeed to and, except in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of the Borrower’s properties and assets, shall
be substituted for the Borrower, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the party of the first part. Such Successor Borrower
thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Borrower any or all of the Notes issuable
under the Purchase Agreement which theretofore shall not have been signed and delivered by the Borrower. All the Notes so issued shall
in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under the Purchase Agreement as the Notes theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance
with the terms of the Purchase Agreement as though all of such Notes had been issued at the date of the execution of the Purchase Agreement.
In the event of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or transfer (but not in the case of a lease), upon compliance with this
Section 8 the Person named as the “Borrower” in the first paragraph of this Note (or any successor that shall thereafter
have become such in the manner prescribed in this Section 8) may be dissolved, wound up and liquidated at any time thereafter and, except
in the case of a lease, such Person shall be released from its liabilities as obligor and maker of the Notes and from its obligations
under the Purchase Agreement and the Notes.
In
case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance)
may be made in the Notes thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.
(c)
Opinion of Counsel to Be Given to Holder Representative. No such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease shall
be effective unless the Holder Representative shall have received an opinion of counsel as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation,
merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease and any such assumption complies with the provisions of this Section 8.
9.
Guarantees.
(a)
Subject to this Section 9 each of the Guarantors hereby, as a primary obligor and not merely as surety, jointly and severally,
unconditionally guarantees to the Holder and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Note
or the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or thereunder, that:
(i)
the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Note and such other Note Obligations will be promptly paid in full in cash when
due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on this Note,
if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Borrower to the Holder hereunder will be promptly paid in full in cash or performed,
all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and
(ii)
in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of this Note or any of such other obligations (including Note Obligations), that
same will be promptly paid in full in cash when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.
(b)
Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly
and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of
collection.
(c)
The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability
of this Note, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any amendment, waiver or consent by the Holder with respect to any provisions
hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Borrower or any other Guarantor, any action to enforce the same or any other
circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally
and irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert any claim, defense, setoff or counterclaim based on diligence, promptness, presentment,
requirements for any demand or notice hereunder including any of the following: (i) any demand for payment or performance and protest
and notice of protest; (ii) any notice of acceptance; (iii) any presentment, demand, protest or further notice or other requirements
of any kind with respect to any Note Obligation (including any accrued but unpaid interest thereon) becoming immediately due and payable;
and (iv) any other notice in respect of any Note Obligation or any part thereof, and any defense arising by reason of any disability
or other defense of the Borrower or any Guarantor. Each Guarantor further unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to (x) enforce or
otherwise exercise any right of subrogation or any right of reimbursement or contribution or similar right against the Borrower or any
Guarantor or (y) assert any claim, defense, setoff or counterclaim it may have against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or set off
any of its obligations to the Borrower or any other Guarantor against obligations of such Guarantor to the Borrower or such other Guarantor.
No obligation of any Guarantor hereunder shall be discharged other than by complete performance. Each Guarantor further waives any right
such Guarantor may have under any applicable requirement of law to require the Collateral Agent or the Holder to seek recourse first
against the Borrower or any other Person as a condition precedent to enforcing such Guarantor’s liability and obligations under
this Section 9.
(d)
If the Holder is required by any court or otherwise to return any amount paid by the Borrower or any Guarantor, this Guarantee, to the
extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.
(e)
Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holder in respect of any obligations
guaranteed hereby until payment in full in cash of all obligations (including the Note Obligations) guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor
further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holder and the Collateral Agent, on the other hand, (1) the
maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 12(b) for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding
any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the
event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Section 12(b), such obligations (whether or not due and payable)
will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this guarantee.
(f)
Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of the Note, the Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the
guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of applicable Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform
Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any guarantee.
To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holder and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor
will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities
of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution
from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Section
9, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. Each Guarantor
acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Note and that its
Guarantee, and the waivers set forth herein, are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
(g)
To evidence a guarantee set forth in Section 9(a), this Note will be executed on behalf of each Guarantor by one of its officers
or authorized representatives and, with respect to any Guarantors providing a Guarantee after the date hereof, a Joinder Agreement will
be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its officers. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its guarantee set forth in Section
9(a) will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such guarantee.
(h)
Except as otherwise provided in Section 9(i), a Guarantor may not, directly or indirectly, (1) consolidate with or merge with or into,
or (2) sell, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties and assets to (whether or not such Guarantor is the
surviving Person), any other Person, other than the Borrower or another Guarantor, unless.
(i)
immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused
thereby; and
(ii)
the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger
(if other than the Borrower or another Guarantor) is an entity organized under the laws of the United States and otherwise reasonably
acceptable to the Majority Holders and expressly assumes, by executing and delivering supplements and amendments to this Note and the
other Note Documents that are satisfactory in form to the Collateral Agent, the Holder Representative (as to their respective rights,
duties and obligations, as applicable) and the Majority Holders, all of the obligations of that Guarantor under its Guaranty, this Note
and all other appropriate Note Documents.
In
case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease and upon the assumption by the successor Person of the Guaranty
of such Guarantor and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Note and the other Note Documents
to be performed by such Guarantor, such successor Person will succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as
if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Notes issuable under
the Purchase Agreement which theretofore shall not have been signed and delivered by the Borrower; provided, however, that
the Guaranty of such successor Person will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation
of such Guaranty. All the Guaranties so issued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under the Purchase Agreement
as the Guaranties theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Note and the other Note Documents as though
all of such Guaranties had been issued at the date of the execution of the Purchase Agreement.
(i)
The Guaranty of any Guarantor, and the Collateral Agent’s Lien on the Collateral of such Guarantor, will be automatically released
upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor following the Transfer of all of its assets to the Borrower or another Guarantor
as permitted hereunder.
If
the Guaranty of any Guarantor or all or substantially all of the assets of a Guarantor or the Capital Stock of any Guarantor are sold
or disposed of in the manner described in this clause (i), and such Guarantor (or as the context may require, Collateral) is released,
the Borrower shall deliver to the Collateral Agent and the Holder Representative a certificate of a Responsible Officer stating and certifying
the identity of the released Guarantor (any/or the applicable Collateral), the basis for release in reasonable detail and that such release
complies with this Note and the other Note Documents. Upon delivery by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent and the Holder Representative
of a certificate of a Responsible Officer and an opinion of counsel to the effect that the conditions precedent to this clause (i) have
been met with respect to a Guarantor (or such Collateral) in accordance with the provisions of this Note and the other Note Documents,
the Collateral Agent and Holder Representative will execute any documents reasonably requested that are necessary or advisable in order
to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty or the applicable Note Documents. Any Guarantor not
released from its obligations under its Guaranty as provided in this Section 9(i) will remain liable for the full amount of principal
of and interest and premium, if any, on the Notes and for the other obligations (including the Note Obligations) of any Guarantor under
this Note and the other Note Documents as provided in this Section 9 notwithstanding the release of any other Guarantor.
(j)
Each Guarantor hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower, each other Guarantor
and any other guarantor, maker or endorser of any Note Obligation or any part thereof, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the
risk of nonpayment of any Note Obligation or any part thereof that diligent inquiry would reveal, and each Guarantor hereby agrees that
the Holder shall not have any duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to it regarding such condition or any such circumstances.
In the event the Holder, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any Guarantor,
then the Holder shall be under no obligation to (a) undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, (b) disclose
any information that such Person, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance or banking practices, wishes to maintain confidential
or (c) make any future disclosures of such information or any other information to any Guarantor.
10.
Creation of Security Interest.
(a)
Grant of Security Interest. To secure prompt payment of any and all of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this
Note and all other Note Obligations, and prompt performance by each Note Party of each of its covenants and duties under the Note Documents,
each Note Party hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for its benefit and for the benefit of the Holder Representative and holders of
Notes, a continuing security interest (the “Security Interest”) in all of such Note Party’s right, title and
interest in or to any and all of the following assets and properties, whether now owned or at any time hereafter created or acquired
by such Note Party or in which such Note Party now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest, and wherever
located (collectively, the “Article 9 Collateral”):
(i)
all accounts (including health-care-insurance receivables), cash and Cash Equivalents, chattel paper (including tangible and electronic
chattel paper), commercial tort claims, deposit accounts, securities accounts, documents (including negotiable documents), equipment
(including all accessions and additions thereto), general intangibles (including payment intangibles, Intellectual Property and Licenses),
goods (including fixtures), instruments (including promissory notes), Inventory (including all goods held for sale or lease or to be
furnished under a contract of service, and including returns and repossessions), investment property (including securities and securities
entitlements), letter-of-credit rights, money, fixtures, all books, records, ledger cards, files, correspondence, computer programs,

or contain information relating to any Article 9 Collateral or as are otherwise necessary or helpful in the collection thereof or realization
thereupon;
(ii)
all real property interests (including leaseholds, mineral rights, timber, etc.); and
(iii)
any and all cash proceeds or noncash proceeds and products of any of the foregoing, including insurance proceeds, and all supporting
obligations and the security and guarantees therefor or for any right to payment.
Such
Security Interest constitutes a valid, first priority security interest in the presently existing Article 9 Collateral, and will constitute
a valid, first priority security interest in Article 9 Collateral acquired after the date hereof, in each case, subject to Permitted
Liens. This Note is intended by the parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the Code. Neither the Holder Representative nor
the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for and make no representation as to the existence, genuineness, value or protection of any
Collateral, for the legality, effectiveness or sufficiency of any Note Collateral Document, or for the creation, perfection, priority,
sufficiency or protection of any Liens securing the Notes. By its acceptance of the Notes, the Holder will be deemed to accept the terms
of, agree to be bound by and authorize and direct each of the Holder Representative and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to enter
into and perform its respective obligations under, the Note Collateral Documents. Neither the Holder Representative nor the Collateral
Agent shall be responsible for (A) perfecting, maintaining, monitoring, preserving or protecting the Liens granted under this Note, the
Note Collateral Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, (B) the determination, filing, re-filing, recording,
re-recording or continuing of any document, financing statement, financing change statement, registration, mortgage, assignment, notice,
instrument of further assurance or other instrument in any public office at any time or times or (C) providing, maintaining, monitoring
or preserving insurance on or the payment of taxes with respect to the Collateral. The actions described in items (A) through (C) shall
be the sole responsibility of the Note Parties, as applicable.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in no event shall the Article 9 Collateral include: (A) any lease, license, contract, property rights or agreement to
which a Note Party is a party or any of its rights or interests thereunder if and for so long as the grant of such Security Interest
shall constitute or result in (I) the abandonment, invalidation or unenforceability of any right, title or interest of such Note Party
therein or (II) a breach or termination pursuant to the terms of, or a default under, any such lease, license, contract, property rights
or agreement (other than to the extent that any such term would be rendered ineffective pursuant to Sections 9406, 9407, 9408 or 9409
of the Code (or any successor provision or provisions) of any relevant jurisdiction or any other applicable Law (including Debtor Relief
Laws) or principles of equity); provided that the Article 9 Collateral shall include and such Security Interest shall attach immediately
(x) at such time as the condition causing such abandonment, invalidation or unenforceability shall be remedied and to the extent severable,
shall attach immediately to any portion of such lease, license, contract, property rights or agreement that does not result in any of
the consequences specified in (I) or (II) above and (y) to any all Proceeds, products, accessions, rents and profits of or in respect
of any of the foregoing such leases, licenses, contracts, property rights or agreements; (B) any intent-to use Trademark applications
prior to the filing of a “Statement of Use”, “Amendment to Allege Use” or similar filing with regard thereto,
to the extent and solely during the period in which the grant of a security interest therein may impair the validity or enforceability
of any Trademark that may issue from such intent to use Trademark application under applicable Law or (C) vehicles that may only be perfected
by notifications on certificates of title (collectively, the “Excluded Assets”).
(b)
Authorization to File Financing Statements. Each Note Party hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent (but without obligation)
for its benefit and the benefit of the Holder Representative and the holders of Notes at any time and from time to time to file, at such
Note Party’s expense, in any relevant jurisdiction any financing statements with respect to the Article 9 Collateral or any part
thereof and amendments thereto that (i) indicate the Article 9 Collateral as “all assets” whether now owned or hereafter
acquired or “all personal property” whether now owned or hereafter acquired of such Note Party or words of similar effect
as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail and (ii) contain the information required by Article 9 of the Code or the
analogous legislation of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or amendment, including whether such
Note Party is an organization, the type of organization and, if required, any organizational identification number issued to such Note
Party. Each Note Party agrees to provide such information to the Collateral Agent promptly upon any reasonable request. Notwithstanding
the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein or in any other Note Collateral Document, the Note Parties shall make all filings (including
filings of continuation statements and amendments to financing statements that may be necessary to continue the effectiveness of such
financing statements) necessary to maintain (at the sole cost and expense of the Note Parties) the security interest created by the Note
Collateral Documents in the Collateral as a first priority perfected security interest to the extent perfection is required herein or
by the Note Collateral Documents, and promptly provide evidence thereof to the Collateral Agent.
(c)
No Obligation. The Security Interest is granted as security only and shall not subject the Collateral Agent or any holder of Notes
to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation or liability of any Note Party with respect to or arising out of the Article 9 Collateral.
(d)
Intellectual Property Filings. The Collateral Agent is authorized (but without obligation) to file with the USPTO or the USCO
(or any successor office) such documents as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing
or protecting the Security Interest in United States Intellectual Property of each Note Party in which a security interest has been granted
by such Note Party hereunder, with notice to such, and with or without the signature of any, Note Party, and naming any Note Party as
debtor and the Collateral Agent as secured party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such filings shall be the responsibility of the applicable
Note Party, and such Note Party agrees to furnish evidence of any such filings and recordings to the Collateral Agent.
(e)
Duration of Security Interest; Release.
(i)
The Collateral Agent’s Security Interest in the Article 9 Collateral shall continue until the payment in full in cash and the satisfaction
of all Note Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations or other obligations that expressly survive termination), whereupon
such Security Interest shall terminate and the Collateral Agent shall, at the Note Parties’ sole cost and expense, promptly execute
such further documents and take such further actions as may be necessary to effect the release contemplated by this Section 10(e)(i).
(ii)
Upon any Transfer by any Note Party of any Collateral that is permitted hereunder and under the other Note Documents (other than a Transfer
to another Note Party), the security interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released and the Collateral Agent shall, at the
Note Parties’ sole cost and expense, promptly execute such further documents and take such further actions as may be necessary
to effect the release contemplated by this Section 10(e)(ii).
(f)
Possession of Article 9 Collateral. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Note Parties shall remain
in full possession, enjoyment and control of the Article 9 Collateral (except only as may be otherwise required by the Majority Holders
for perfection or protection of the Collateral Agent’s Security Interest therein) and shall be entitled to manage, operate and
use the same and each part thereof with all the rights and franchises appertaining thereto; provided, however, that the
possession, enjoyment, control and use of the Article 9 Collateral shall at all times be subject to the observance and performance of
the terms of this Note and the other Note Documents.
(g)
Delivery of Additional Documentation Required. Each Note Party shall from time to time execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent
for its benefit and the benefit of the Holder Representative and the holders of Notes all Negotiable Collateral (having a value in excess
of $100,000 in the aggregate) and other documents necessary or advisable to perfect and continue the perfection of the Collateral Agent’s
Security Interest in the Article 9 Collateral and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated under the Note Documents.
For the avoidance of doubt, if any Note Party acquires a Commercial Tort Claim (which could reasonably be expected to result in damages
in excess of $100,000), such Note Party shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent in a writing signed by such Note Party of the general
details thereof and such Note Party shall promptly, but in no event more than three (3) Business Days after such notice, agree to an
amendment to the definition of Article 9 Collateral or the Code filings to include such Commercial Tort Claim, such amendment to be in
form and substance as required by the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Holders). If at any time any Note Party
shall take a security interest in any property of an Account Debtor or any other Person the value of which is in excess of $100,000 to
secure payment and performance of an Account, such Note Party shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent and assign such security interest
to the Collateral Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the holders of Notes. Such assignment need not be filed of public record unless
necessary to continue the perfected status of the security interest against creditors of and transferees from the Account Debtor or other
Person granting the security interest.
(h)
Representations and Warranties. Each Note Party represents and warrants, as to itself and the other Note Parties, to the Holder
Representative, the Collateral Agent and the Holder that:
(i)
Subject to Permitted Liens, each Note Party has good and valid rights in and title (except as otherwise permitted by the Note Documents)
to (or the power to transfer rights in) the Article 9 Collateral (except with respect to title to Intellectual Property owned by a third
party as to which such Note Party has been granted a License) with respect to which it has purported to grant a Security Interest hereunder,
except for minor defects in title that do not materially interfere with its ability to conduct its business or to utilize such properties
for their intended purposes and has full power and authority to grant to the Collateral Agent the Security Interest in such Article 9
Collateral pursuant hereto and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in accordance with the terms of this Note and the other
Note Documents, without the consent or approval of any other Person, other than any consent or approval that has been obtained and is
in full force and effect.
(ii)
The Disclosure Letter has been duly prepared, completed and executed and the information set forth therein is correct and complete in
all material respects (except that the information therein with respect to the exact legal name of each Note Party is correct and complete

based upon the information provided to the Collateral Agent in the Disclosure Letter for filing by the Borrower in the applicable filing
office, as required by the terms of this Note or the other Note Documents, are all the filings, recordings and registrations that are
necessary to establish and preserve a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent (for its benefit
and the benefit of the Holder Representative and the holders of Notes) in respect of all Article 9 Collateral in which the Security Interest
may be perfected by filing, recording or registration in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories
and possessions pursuant to the Code, and no further or subsequent filing, re-filing, recording, rerecording, registration or re-registration
is necessary in any such jurisdiction, except as provided under applicable Law with respect to the filing of continuation statements.

the Note Parties including (A) in the case of each Deposit Account, the depository bank and (B) in the case of each Securities Account,

Trademarks (and Trademarks for which United States applications for registration are pending) and (C) United States-registered Copyrights,
respectively (other than, in each case, any Excluded Assets), in each case, as of the date hereof and listed in Section 9 of the Disclosure
Letter, if any, have been prepared for recording by the USPTO and the USCO pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 261, 15 U.S.C. § 1060 or
17 U.S.C. § 205 and the regulations thereunder, as applicable, in respect of all Article 9 Collateral consisting of United States
registrations and applications for Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights. To the extent a security interest may be perfected by filing,
recording or registration in the USPTO or USCO under the federal intellectual property laws, then no further or subsequent filing, re-filing,
recording, rerecording, registration or re-registration is necessary (other than (x) such filings and actions as are necessary to perfect
the Security Interest with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of United States registrations and applications for Patents,
Trademarks and Copyrights filed, acquired or developed by any Note Party after the date hereof and (y) the UCC financing and continuation
statements contemplated in Section 10(h)(ii)).

The Security Interest constitutes (A) a legal and valid security interest in all the Article 9 Collateral securing the payment and performance
in full of the Note Obligations and (B) subject to the filings described in Sections 9(h)(ii) and 10(h)(iii), a perfected security interest
in all Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registering a financing statement or
analogous document in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions pursuant to the Code.
The Security Interest is prior to any other Lien on any of the Article 9 Collateral, subject to Permitted Liens.

except, in each case under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), for Permitted Liens.
(vi)
As of the date hereof, no Note Party has any Commercial Tort Claim which could reasonably be expected to result in damages in excess
of $100,000, other than the Commercial Tort Claims listed in Section 7 of the Disclosure Letter.

of the Holder Representative and the holders of Notes, shall have the right to hold the Pledged Securities in its own name as pledgee,

be construed as creating a partnership or joint venture among the Collateral Agent, any holder of Notes, any Note Party or any other
Person and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty, obligation or responsibility with respect to the Pledged Equity other than to hold

Holders or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Note Documents) shall have provided written notice to the applicable Note Party
in accordance with Section 11(f)(iv) below that the rights of such Note Party under this Section 11(f) are being suspended:
(A)
each Note Party shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting or other consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of Pledged
Equity or any part thereof and each Note Party agrees that it shall exercise such rights in a manner not prohibited by the terms of this
Note or the other Note Documents;
(B)
the Collateral Agent shall promptly (after reasonable advance notice) execute and deliver (at the Note Parties’ sole cost and expense)
to each Note Party, or cause to be executed and delivered to such Note Party, all such proxies, powers of attorney and other instruments
prepared by such Note Party as such Note Party may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Note Party to exercise the voting
or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 11(f)(i)(A); and
(C)
each Note Party shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest, principal and other distributions paid on or
distributed in respect of the Pledged Securities to the extent and only to the extent that such dividends, interest, principal and other
distributions are permitted by, and otherwise paid or distributed in accordance with, the terms and conditions of this Note, the other
Note Documents and applicable Laws; provided that any noncash dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that would
constitute Pledged Equity or Pledged Debt, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding Capital
Stock of the issuer of any Pledged Securities or received in exchange for Pledged Securities or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof,
or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise,
shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral, and, if received by any Note Party, shall not be commingled by such Note Party with
any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral
Agent and the holders of Notes and shall be promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days or such longer period as the Majority
Holders may agree in their reasonable discretion) delivered to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary
endorsement reasonably requested by the Majority Holders). So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Collateral Agent shall promptly deliver to each Note Party any Pledged Securities in its possession if requested to be delivered
to the issuer thereof in connection with any exchange or redemption of such Pledged Securities permitted by this Note and the other Note
Documents in accordance with this Section 11(f)(i)(C).
(ii)
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default after the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority
Holders or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Note Documents) shall have provided written notice to the applicable Note Party
of the suspension of such Note Party’s rights under Section 11(f)(i)(C), then all rights of such Note Party to dividends, interest,
principal or other distributions that such Note Party is authorized to receive pursuant to paragraph Section 11(f)(i)(C) shall cease
and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent (on behalf of the holders of Notes), which shall have the sole
and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends, interest, principal or other distributions in respect of the
Pledged Equity. All dividends, interest, principal or other distributions received by any Note Party contrary to the provisions of this
Section 11(f) shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the holders of Notes), shall be segregated
from other property or funds of such Note Party and shall be promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days or such longer
period as the Majority Holders may agree in their reasonable discretion) delivered to the Collateral Agent upon demand in the same form
as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent). Any and all money and other property paid
over to or received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (ii) shall be retained by the Collateral Agent
in an account to be established by the Collateral Agent upon receipt of such money or other property and shall be applied in accordance
with the provisions of Section 11(c). After all Events of Default have been cured or waived and the Collateral Agent has received written
notice from the Note Parties of such cure or waiver, the Collateral Agent shall promptly repay to each Note Party (without interest)
all dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Note Party would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the
terms of paragraph Section 11(f)(i)(C) and that remain in such account, and such Note Party’s right to receive and retain any and
all dividends, interest, principal and other distributions paid on or distributed in respect of the Pledged Securities shall be automatically
reinstated.
(iii)
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority
Holders or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Note Documents) shall have provided the applicable Note Party with written notice
of the suspension of such Note Party’s rights under paragraph Section 11(f)(i)(A), then all rights of such Note Party to exercise
the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 11(f)(i)(A), and the obligations of the Collateral
Agent under Section 11(f)(i)(B), shall cease, and all such rights in respect of the Pledged Securities shall thereupon become vested
in the Collateral Agent (on behalf of the holders of Notes), which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise
such voting and consensual rights and powers. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived and the Collateral Agent has received
written notice from the Note Parties of such cure or waiver, each Note Party shall immediately have the exclusive right to exercise the
voting or consensual rights and powers that such Note Party would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of Section
11(f)(i)(A) until such time as such rights are again suspended pursuant to this Section 11(f), and the obligations of the Collateral
Agent under Section 11(f)(i)(B) shall be immediately reinstated.
(iv)
Any notice required to be given by the Collateral Agent to the Note Parties to suspend rights under Section 11(f) (A) shall be given
in writing, (B) may be given with respect to one or more Note Parties at the same or different times and (C) may suspend the rights of
the Note Parties under Section 11(f)(i)(A) or Section 11(f)(i)(C) in part without suspending all such rights (as specified by the Collateral
Agent acting at the direction of the Majority Holders or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Note Documents) and without waiving
or otherwise affecting the Collateral Agent’s rights to give additional notices from time to time suspending other rights so long
as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
12.

(ix)

Remedies. If one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default
and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be 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), then:
(i)
in each and every such case (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 12(a)(v) or Section 12(a)(vi) with respect
to any Note Party or any of its Subsidiaries), unless the principal of all of the Notes shall have already become due and payable, either
the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Majority Holders) or the Majority Holders, by notice in writing to the Borrower (and to
the Collateral Agent if given by the Majority Holders), may declare 100% of the principal of, and any accrued and unpaid interest on,
all of the Notes, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under the other Note Documents to be due and payable immediately,
and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall automatically be immediately due and payable, anything contained in this
Note to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default specified in Section 12(a)(v) or Section 12(a)(vi) with respect
to any Note Party or any of its Subsidiaries occurs and is continuing, 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, on, all Notes, and all other amount owing or payable hereunder or under the other Notes Documents shall become and shall automatically
be immediately due and payable; and
(ii)
the Collateral Agent shall, at the request of the Majority Holders, exercise on behalf of itself and the holders of Notes any and all
rights and remedies available to it and the holders of Notes under the Note Documents and any and all rights afforded to a “secured
party” (as defined in the Code) with respect to the Note Obligations, including the Guaranty, under the Code or other applicable
Law and also may (A) require each Note Party to, and each Note Party agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral
Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Holders or otherwise in accordance with terms of the Note Documents), promptly assemble
all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place and time to
be reasonably designated by the Collateral Agent; (B) upon prior written notice, occupy any premises owned or, to the extent lawful and
permitted, leased by any of the Note Parties where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period
in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under applicable Law, without obligation to such Note Party in respect of
such occupation; (C) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Note Parties under or in connection with the Collateral,
or otherwise in respect of the Collateral; (D) subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable Law, sell, assign or otherwise dispose
of all or any part of the Collateral, or direct such Note Party to sell, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral
without demand and without notice, advertisement, hearing or process of applicable Law, all of which each Grantor hereby waives to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, at any time or any place, at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on
any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority
Holders) shall deem appropriate; and (E) to the extent of the Note Parties’ interest therein, take possession and control over
all software and all associated servers, hardware and equipment, including domain name registrations and associated URLs, and each such
Note Party shall provide to the Collateral Agent all access codes, transfer codes and verification codes and access to all other security
measures and devices used or necessary in connection therewith. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale of securities
(if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they
are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon
consummation of any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers
thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any
claim or right on the part of any Note Party, and each Note Party hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) all rights
of redemption, stay and appraisal that such Note Party now has or may at any time in the future have under any applicable Law now existing
or hereafter enacted.
To
the extent notice to the Note Parties is required under applicable Law, the Collateral Agent shall give the applicable Note Parties ten
(10) calendar days’ prior written notice (which each Note Party agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9611
of the Code or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such
notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board
or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral,
or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times
within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Holders or
otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Note Documents) may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale,
the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent
(acting at the direction of the Majority Holders or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Note Documents) may determine. The
Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority
Holders) shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Collateral
Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Holders or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Note Documents) may, without
notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the
time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned.
In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained
by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur
any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such
failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, private) sale
made pursuant to this Note or the other Note Documents, the Collateral Agent or any holder of Notes may bid for or purchase, free (to
the extent permitted by applicable Law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Note Party (all
said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by applicable Law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered
for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to the Collateral Agent or such holder of Notes,
as applicable, from any Note Party as a credit against the purchase price, and the Collateral Agent or such holder of Notes, as applicable,
may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Note Party
therefor. For purposes hereof, a binding written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale
thereof, the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Note Party shall be entitled to
the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have
entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Note Obligations paid in full. As an alternative
to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Holders or otherwise
in accordance with the terms of the Note Documents) may proceed by a suit or suits at Law or in equity to foreclose this Note and the
other Note Documents and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent
jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions
of this Section 12(b) shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9610(b) of the Code
or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.
Each
Note Party irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the
Collateral Agent) as such Note Party’s true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) during the continuance of an Event of Default,
for the purpose of (i) making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Article 9 Collateral under policies of insurance, and endorsing
the name of such Note Party on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance,
(ii) making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto and (iii) obtaining or maintaining the policies of insurance required
hereby of by the other Note Documents or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating thereto; provided that to the extent
any of the foregoing actions relate to the exercise of any rights or remedies in connection with the Capital Stock of any Note Party
or Subsidiary thereof, including voting rights, the Collateral Agent shall provide written notice to the applicable Note Party. All sums
disbursed by the Collateral Agent (for itself and on behalf of any of the Persons who are entitled to payment and reimbursement of costs
and expenses under the Note Documents) in connection with this paragraph, including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’
fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable by the Note Parties upon demand and shall be additional
Note Obligations secured by the Collateral.
Each
Note Party recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Pledged Equity or the Pledged
Debt by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be
compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other
things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each
Note Party acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were
a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially
reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Equity or the Pledged Debt
for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act or
under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so.
(c)
Application of Proceeds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 12(b) (or after the Note Obligations have automatically
become immediately due and payable as set forth in Section 12(b)(i)), including in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, any amounts
received on account of the Note Obligations (whether as a result of a payment under a guarantee, any realization on the Collateral, any
set-off rights, any distribution in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise and whether received in cash
or otherwise, including all proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale, any collection from, or other realization
upon all or any part of the Collateral but excluding the payment of current interest or interest paid as a form of adequate protection
in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law) shall be applied by the Collateral Agent, subject to any Intercreditor Agreement then
in effect, in the following order:
First,
to payment of that portion of the Note Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts payable to the Collateral
Agent and the Holder Representative, as applicable, in its capacities as such;
Second,
to the payment of that portion of the Note Obligations constituting fees and indemnities (other than unasserted contingent indemnification
obligations) and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the holders of Notes, ratably among them in proportion
to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them, together with interest on each such amount at the highest
rate then in effect under the Note Documents from and after the date such amount is due, owing or unpaid until paid in full;
Third,
to the payment of that portion of the Note Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes and other Note Obligations
under the Note Documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, interest which, but for the filing of a petition in bankruptcy with
respect to any Note Party would have accrued on any such Note Obligation, whether or not a claim is allowed or allowable against any
Note Party for such interest in the related bankruptcy proceeding), ratably among the holders of Notes in proportion to the respective
amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;
Fourth,
to the payment of that portion of the Note Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Notes, ratably among the holders of Notes
in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them;
Fifth,
to the payment of all other Note Obligations that are due and payable to the Collateral Agent and the holders of Notes on such date,
ratably based upon the respective amounts described in this clause Fifth payable to them on such date; and
Last,
the balance, if any, after all of the Note Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Note Parties or as otherwise required
by Law.
The
Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Holders or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Note Documents) shall
have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Note and the
other Note Documents. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or
under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to
the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application
of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication
thereof.
The
Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any holder of Notes for actions taken in reliance on information supplied to it as to the
amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Note Obligations. All distributions made by
the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 12(c) shall be (subject to any decree of any court of competent jurisdiction) final (absent
manifest error).
(d)
Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. For the exclusive purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and
remedies under this Note and the other Note Documents at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such
rights and remedies at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Note Party hereby grants
to the Collateral Agent a non-exclusive, royalty-free, limited license (until the waiver or cure of all Events of Default) to use, license
or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property and Licenses included in the Article 9 Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by such
Note Party, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed
items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof to the extent
of the applicable Note Party’s interest therein; provided, however, that (i) all of the foregoing rights of the Collateral
Agent to use (to the extent permitted by the terms of such licenses and sublicenses) such licenses and sublicenses shall expire immediately
upon the waiver or cure of all Events of Default and written notice by the applicable Note Party to the Collateral Agent of such waiver
or cure, and shall be exercised by the Collateral Agent solely during the continuance of an Event of Default, and nothing in this Section
12(d) shall require the Note Parties to grant any license that is prohibited by any rule of Law or is prohibited by, or constitutes a
breach or default under or results in the termination of, any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing,
giving rise to or theretofore granted, to the extent permitted by the Note Documents, with respect to, such property or otherwise unreasonably
prejudices the value thereof to the relevant Note Party and (ii) such license and all of the foregoing rights related thereto shall automatically
terminate upon the payment in full of all Note Obligations. Under the licenses to be granted by each Note Party under this Section
12(d), both (A) the use of the Intellectual Property and Licenses included in the Article 9 Collateral by the Collateral Agent and
(B) the licenses granted by the Collateral Agent to a third party shall (1) with respect to Trademarks, be subject to the maintenance
of reasonable quality standards with respect to the goods and services on which such Trademarks are used sufficient to preserve the validity
of such Trademarks; (2) with regard to trade secrets, be subject to the requirement that the secret status of the trade secrets be maintained
and reasonable steps are taken to ensure that they are maintained; (3) with regard to Patents, be subject to the obligation to maintain
the existence and enforceability of such Patents; (4) be subject to the use of reasonable patent, trademark, copyright and proprietary
notices; and (5) be subject to the Collateral Agent having no greater rights than those of any such Note Party under any such license
or sublicense; provided, however, that with respect to any uses, licenses, form licenses, or any other agreements or activities
in effect on or prior to the occurrence of such Event of Default the requirements set forth in the foregoing clauses (1) through (5)
shall be deemed satisfied. For the avoidance of doubt, the use of such license by the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the
Majority Holders or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Note Documents) may be exercised only during the continuation of an
Event of Default and until such time as all such Events of Default have been cured or waived in writing by the requisite holders of Notes
in accordance with the Note Documents. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent (acting
at the direction of the Majority Holders or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Note Documents) may also exercise the rights
afforded under Section 12(b)(ii) with respect to Intellectual Property and Licenses contained in the Article 9 Collateral.
(e)
Certain Rights on Acceleration. It is understood and agreed that if this Note is accelerated or otherwise becomes due prior to
its stated maturity, in each case, as a result of an Event of Default (including an Event of Default specified in Section 12(a)(v)
or Section 12(a)(vi) (including the acceleration of any portion of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes by operation of
law)), the Interest Make-Whole Payment shall also be due and payable in cash as though the Notes had been optionally converted and shall
constitute part of the Note Obligations in view of the impracticability and difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement
of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Holder’s lost profits as a result thereof. If the Interest Make-Whole Payment
becomes due and payable, it shall be deemed to be principal of this Note and interest shall accrue on the full principal amount of this
Note (including the Interest Make-Whole Payment) from and after the applicable triggering event, including in connection with an Event
of Default specified in Section 12(a)(v) or Section 12(a)(vi). Any amounts payable above shall be presumed to be liquidated
damages sustained by each Holder as the result of the acceleration of this Note and the Borrower and each Guarantor agrees that it is
reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The Interest Make-Whole Payment shall also be payable in the event this Note is
satisfied, released or discharged through foreclosure, whether by judicial proceeding, deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means.
THE BORROWER AND EACH GUARANTOR EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THEY MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE
STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Borrower
and each Guarantor expressly agree (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Interest Make-Whole Payment is reasonable
and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business entities ably represented by counsel; (B) the
Interest Make-Whole Payment shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time acceleration occurs; (C) there
has been a course of conduct between the Holder and the Borrower and each Guarantor giving specific consideration in this transaction
for such agreement to pay the Interest Make-Whole Payment; and (D) the Borrower and each Guarantor shall be estopped hereafter from claiming
differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. The Borrower and each Guarantor expressly acknowledge that their agreement to pay the
Interest Make-Whole Payment to holders as herein described is a material inducement to the Holder to purchase this Note.
(f)
Rights not Exclusive. The rights and remedies provided for in this Note and the other Note Documents are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any other rights, powers, privileges or remedies provided by Law or in equity, or under any other instrument, document or
agreement now existing or hereafter arising.
13.
Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a)
This Note and any provisions herein may be modified, amended and waived only with the written consent of the Borrower, the Majority Holders
and the acknowledgement of the Holder Representative and the Collateral Agent, and any such modification, amendment or waiver shall be
binding on the Holder and all holders of other Notes with respect to all the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no modification, amendment
or waiver shall be made that affects the rights, duties or immunities of the Holder Representative and/or the Collateral Agent without
its written consent, as applicable. Neither this Note nor any of the other Notes forming a series with this Note may be modified or amended,
and no provisions of such other Notes may be waived, unless such modification, amendment or waiver applies to all of the Notes in the
series.
(b)
After the date hereof, the Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable and documented fees, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses, incurred by the Majority Holders in collecting or attempting to collect the Obligations, whether or not any action
or proceeding is commenced. None of the provisions hereof and none of the Holder’s rights or remedies under this Note on account
of any past or future defaults shall be deemed to have been waived by the Collateral Agent’s or the Holder’s acceptance of
any past due installments or by any indulgence granted by the Collateral Agent or the Holder to the Borrower.
(c)
The Borrower hereby waives presentment, demand, diligence, protest and notice of every kind, and agrees that it shall remain liable for
all amounts due under this Note notwithstanding any delay or failure by the Collateral Agent or the Holder to exercise any rights under
this Note. Borrower hereby waives the right to plead any and all statutes of limitation as a defense to a demand under this Note to the
full extent permitted by law.
(d)
All notices, requests, demands, consents, instructions and other communications which are required or may be given under this Note shall
be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when received if personally delivered; when transmitted if transmitted by confirmed
facsimile or other electronic transmission (including e-mail), except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient,

together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into each of
the applicable Note Documents and perform its obligation and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith, subject to the indemnification
and other rights of the Collateral Agent set forth herein. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, whenever reference is made
in this Note to any action by, consent, designation, specification, requirement or approval of, notice, request or other communication
from, or other direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be) suffered or omitted by the Collateral Agent or to any
election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use of judgment, expression of satisfaction or other exercise of discretion, rights or remedies
to be made (or not to be made) by the Collateral Agent, it is understood that in all cases the Collateral Agent shall be acting, giving,
withholding, suffering, omitting, taking or otherwise undertaking and exercising the same (or shall not be undertaking and exercising
the same) as directed by the Majority Holders. Each of the Holder Representative and the Collateral Agent may execute any of its duties
hereunder by or through agents or employees and shall be entitled to request and act in reliance upon the advice of counsel concerning
all matters pertaining to its duties hereunder and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith

to this Note and the other Note Documents, except in the event of liability directly resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel
and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) and including the event of nonpayment by
the Borrower under the Purchase Agreement (collectively, “Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection
with the Holder Representative’s or the Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, execution and performance of this Note and any
other Note Documents, and the exercise or performance of their respective powers or duties hereunder (including any removal or remedial
actions or other environmental claims), or in connection with any actual or alleged presence of hazardous materials in the air, surface
water or groundwater or on the surface or subsurface of any real property at any time owned, leased or operated by the Borrower, the
generation, storage, transportation, handling or disposal of hazardous materials by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries at any location,
whether or not owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the non-compliance by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries with any environmental laws, or any environmental claim asserted against the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any real
property at any time owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case as such Representative Loss is
suffered or incurred, including the enforcement of this Section 13(e)(i); provided, that no such indemnification shall be provided
in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Holder Representative or the Collateral Agent, as applicable.
(ii)
Each of the Holder Representative and the Collateral Agent may resign at any time upon 10 days’ notice to the Borrower, the Holder
and the other holders of Notes, and the Majority Holders may remove or replace the Holder Representative or the Collateral Agent at any
time upon 10 days’ notice by notifying the Borrower and the holders of the Notes. Upon any such resignation or replacement, the
Majority Holders shall have the right to appoint a successor holder representative or collateral agent, as applicable, in consultation
with the Borrower. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Holder Representative or Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder by a
successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Holder
Representative or Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the retiring, replaced or removed Holder Representative or Collateral Agent, as
applicable, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. If no successor Holder Representative or Collateral Agent,
as applicable, shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 10th day (a) the retiring
Holder Representative’s or Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, resignation, replacement or removal shall become effective,
(b) the retiring, replaced or removed Holder Representative or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall thereupon be discharged from its
duties and obligations hereunder and (c) the Majority Holders shall thereafter perform all duties of the Holder Representative or the
Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder and under the other Note Documents until such time, if any, as the Majority Holders appoint
a successor Holder Representative or Collateral Agent, as applicable, in consultation with the Borrower. The Holder Representative and
Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall have no liability or responsibility for any action or inaction of any successor Holder Representative
or successor Collateral Agent, as applicable. Notwithstanding replacement of the Holder Representative or the Collateral Agent, as applicable,
pursuant to this Section 13(e)(ii), the Holder’s obligations under Section 13(e)(i) hereof will continue for the benefit of the
retiring Holder Representative or Collateral Agent, as applicable.
(iii)
The Holder agrees that any action taken by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provision of this Note and the Note Collateral
Documents, and the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies set forth herein and therein shall be authorized and binding
upon the Holder. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Note and the Note Collateral Documents, the
duties of the Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties
or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the other documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party, nor
shall the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or other fiduciary relationship with the Holder Representative, any Holder
or any Note Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this
Note and the Note Collateral Documents or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty
to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated
hereby or by the other Note Collateral Documents that the Collateral Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority
Holders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Note with reference
to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine
of any applicable law regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Instead, such term is used merely as
a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
(iv)
The parties hereto and the Holder hereby agree and acknowledge that the Collateral Agent shall not assume, be responsible for or otherwise
be obligated for any liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements,
damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not limited to, any remediation, corrective
action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations and maintenance or monitoring costs, for personal injury or
property damages, real or personal) of any kind whatsoever, pursuant to any environmental law as a result of this Note, the Note Collateral
Documents or any actions taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Further, the parties hereto and the Holder hereby agree and acknowledge that
in the exercise of its rights under this Note and the Note Collateral Documents, the Collateral Agent may hold or obtain indicia of ownership
primarily to protect the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral and that any such actions taken by the Collateral
Agent shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of such Collateral.
(v)
No provision of this Note or any Note Collateral Document shall require the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or to take or omit to take any action hereunder
or thereunder or take any action at the request or direction of the holders of Notes unless it shall have received indemnity satisfactory
to the Collateral Agent against potential costs and liabilities incurred by the Collateral Agent relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Note or the Note Collateral Documents, in the event the Collateral Agent is entitled or required to
commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Collateral
Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect or conduct any studies of any property under
the Mortgages or take any such other action if the Collateral Agent has determined that the Collateral Agent may incur personal liability
as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous materials. The Collateral Agent
shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described in this clause if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security
or undertaking from the Note Parties or the Holder to be sufficient.
(f)
In the event that any one or more provisions of this Note shall be held to be illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable, the same shall
not affect any other provision of this Note and the remaining provisions of this Note shall remain in full force and effect.
(g)
Neither this Note nor any beneficial interest in this Note may be assigned or transferred by the Borrower; provided, this Note
shall be transferrable by the Holder upon prior written notice to the Collateral Agent and the Borrower and subject to applicable securities
laws and completion and execution of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement in the form attached to the Purchase Agreement.

federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and
federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith
or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Note Documents),
and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Action (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) or Proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such Action or Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient
venue for such Proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any
such Action or Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery)
to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and
sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process
in any other manner permitted by law. If any party shall commence an Action or Proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Note Documents,
then, in addition to the obligations of the Borrower under Section 4.7 of the Purchase Agreement, the prevailing party in such Action
or Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred

Sarbanes-Oxley; Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance with any and all applicable requirements
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that are effective as of the date hereof, and any and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated
by the Commission thereunder that are effective as of the date hereof and as of each Closing Date. The Company and the Subsidiaries maintain
a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance
with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with

disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and the Subsidiaries and
designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it
files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s
rules and forms. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures of
the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act
(such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange
Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations
as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the internal control over financial reporting (as
such term is defined in the Exchange Act) of the Company and its Subsidiaries that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely
to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(or such other established clearing corporation) in connection with such electronic transfer.
(y)
Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and the Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order
to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement)
or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s certificate of incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the
laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the Purchasers and the Company
fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including as a result of the Company’s
issuance of the Securities and the Purchasers’ ownership of the Securities.
(z)
Disclosure. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents,
the Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers or their agents or
counsel with any information that it believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information. The Company understands
and confirms that the Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All
of the disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries, their respective
businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Disclosure Schedules to this Agreement, is true and correct and does
not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The press releases disseminated by the Company
during the twelve months preceding the date of this Agreement taken as a whole do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of
the circumstances under which they were made and when made, not misleading. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser makes
or has made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set
forth in Section 3.2 hereof.
(aa) No
Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2, neither
the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or
sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the Notes to
be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of (i) the Securities Act which would require the registration of any
such securities under the Securities Act, or (ii) any applicable shareholder approval provisions of any Trading Market on which any of
the securities of the Company are listed or designated.
(bb) Solvency.
Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of each Closing Date, after giving effect to the receipt by the Company
of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes on each Closing Date hereunder, (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets
exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including
known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on
its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital
requirements of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof,
and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its
assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its liabilities
when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature
(taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any
facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization
laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the applicable Closing Date.
(cc)

has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such
returns, reports and declarations and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all material
taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material
amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company or of any Subsidiary know of no
basis for any such claim.
(dd)
No General Solicitation. Neither the Company nor any Person acting on behalf of the Company has offered or sold any of the Notes
by any form of general solicitation or general advertising. The Company has offered the Notes for sale only to the Purchasers.
(ee)

length counter-party in any “derivative” transaction. The Company further understands and acknowledges that (y) one or more

a breach of any of the Transaction Documents.

under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and
not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable

state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the

not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise in compliance with
applicable federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.
(c)
Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Notes, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each Closing
Date and each other date on which it is issued Underlying Shares, it will be either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined
in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as
defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.
(d)
Experience of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication
and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment

an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

(f)
Access to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including
all exhibits and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed
necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the
Notes and the merits and risks of investing in the Notes and the Underlying Shares; (ii) access to information about the Company and
its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its
investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable
effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. Each Purchaser also acknowledges
that it will, independently of the Holder Representative and each other Purchaser, and based on such other documents, information, and
investigations as it shall deem appropriate at any time, continue to make its own investment decisions as to exercising or not exercising
from time to time any rights and privileges available to it under the Transaction Documents. The Holder Representative has no duty or
responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Company
of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or to inspect the properties

with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Notes or at any
time or times thereafter, and the Holder Representative shall have no responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness
of any information provided to the Purchasers hereunder.

first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material
terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of
such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers
managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion
of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement. Other
than to other Persons party to this Agreement or to such Purchaser’s representatives, including its officers, directors, partners,
legal and other advisors, employees, agents and Affiliates, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made
to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for
the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect
to locating or borrowing shares in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in this Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s
right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties
contained in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement
or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained
herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to locating or borrowing shares in order

broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Notes to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor”
as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer
pledged or secured Notes to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company
and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no
notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable
documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Notes may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Notes.

purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder approval prior to the closing of such
other transaction, and the Company will take all action that is appropriate or necessary to assure that its offerings of other securities
will not be integrated for purposes of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the principal Trading Market, with the issuance
of Securities contemplated hereby.

in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall
issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any
press release of any Purchaser, or without the prior consent of each Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the Company, which
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party
shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the

the Company, or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving
Securities under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers.
4.5

and agreed with the Company to keep such information confidential. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be
relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. To the extent that the Company, any of its
Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, director, agents, employees or Affiliates delivers any material, non-public information
to a Purchaser without such Purchaser’s consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that such Purchaser shall not have any
duty of confidentiality to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or
Affiliates, or a duty to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates
not to trade on the basis of, such material, non-public information, provided that the Purchaser shall remain subject to applicable law.
To the extent that any notice provided pursuant to any Transaction Document constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information
regarding the Company or any Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current
Report on Form 8-K. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting
transactions in securities of the Company.
4.6
Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes hereunder to repay all amounts outstanding
under the Company’s ABL Debt Documents and for working capital purposes and shall not use such proceeds: (a) for the satisfaction
of any portion of the Company’s other debt (other than payment of trade payables (including current payables and payables in arrears)
and accrued expenses in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and prior practices), (b) for the redemption of any Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, (c) for the settlement of any outstanding litigation or (d) in violation of FCPA or OFAC regulations.
On the Initial Closing Date, after giving effect to the application by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes on such
Closing Date, the Company shall have borrowings under the ABL Documents of not more than $1,500,000.
4.7
Indemnification of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.7, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser
and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent
role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser
(within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders,
agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding
a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any
and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in
settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or
incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company
in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against the Purchaser Parties in any capacity, or
any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party, with respect
to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is solely based upon a material breach of such
Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings
such Purchaser Party may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws
or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which is finally judicially determined to constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct).
If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such
Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with
counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense
of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing,
(ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there
is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position
of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such
separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party
effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent,
but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification
required by this Section 4.7 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense,
as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action
or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.
4.8
Reservation of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for
the purpose of enabling the Company to issue the maximum number of Underlying Shares issuable pursuant to Initial Notes. The Company
shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for
the purpose of enabling the Company to issue the maximum number of Underlying Shares issuable pursuant to Option Notes, subject to the
Authorized Share Amendment and the NASDAQ Stockholder Approval.
4.9
Listing of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Stock
on the Trading Market on which it is currently listed, and concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall apply to list or quote all
of the Underlying Shares on such Trading Market and promptly secure the listing of all of the Underlying Shares on such Trading Market.
The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will then include
in such application all of the Underlying Shares and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Underlying Shares
to be listed or quoted on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The Company will then take all action reasonably necessary
to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s
reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market. The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility
of the Common Stock for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including
by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic
transfer.
4.10
Equal Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid
to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration
is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate
right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser and is intended for the Company to treat the
Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase,
disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.
4.11
Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that
neither it, nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including
Short Sales, of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at
such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as
described in Section 4.3. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press release as described
in Section 4.3, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included
in the Disclosure Schedules. Notwithstanding the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary,
the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will
not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.3, (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted
or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from and
after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release
as described in Section 4.3 and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality or duty not to trade in the securities of the
Company to the Company or its Subsidiaries after the issuance of the initial press release as described in Section 4.4. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate
portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the
portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect
to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this
Agreement.
4.12
Blue Sky Filings. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain
an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchasers at each Closing under applicable securities or “Blue
Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any Purchaser.
4.13
Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its
obligations under the Transaction Documents, including its obligation to issue the Underlying Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents,
are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of
any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against any Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may
have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.
4.14
Ranking. The Notes shall be pari passu in right of payment with respect to each other. All payments (other than payments
in respect of a conversion of Notes) to the holders of the Notes shall be made pro rata among the holders based upon the aggregate unpaid
principal amount and accrued interest of the Notes outstanding as of one Business Day immediately prior to any such payment. The Company
shall not make, and no Purchaser shall accept, any payment (other than payments in respect of a conversion of Notes) except as shall
be shared ratably between the Purchasers so as to maintain as near as possible the amount of the indebtedness owing under the Notes pro
rata according to the holder’s respective proportionate interest in the amount of Notes obligations owed as of the date immediately
prior to such payment or payments. If one holder of Notes obtains any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary or by offset or otherwise,
but not including any payments in respect of a conversion of Notes) of principal, interest or other amount with respect to the Notes
in excess of such holder’s pro rata share of such payments obtained by all holders, then the holder receiving such payment in excess
of its pro rata share shall return to the Company, for distribution to each of the other holder, an amount sufficient to cause all holders
to receive their respective pro rata shares of any payment of principal, interest or other amounts with respect to the Notes.
4.15
Note Register. The Company will provide the Holder Representative with the most current Note Register (as defined in the Notes)
on the Initial Closing Date, any Option Closing Date, in connection with any assignments of any Notes, and as may be requested by the
Holder Representative from time to time, upon which the Holder Representative is entitled to conclusively rely for all purposes hereof
and of the Notes without liability.

5.1
Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder only and without
any effect whatsoever on the obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other parties, if the
Initial Closing has not been consummated on or before the fifth (5th) Trading Day following the date hereof; provided,
however, that no such termination will affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by any other party (or parties).
5.2
Fees and Expenses. The Company shall reimburse each of the Purchasers, the Holder Representative and the Collateral Agent for
all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by it or its Affiliates in connection with the structuring, documentation,
negotiation and closing of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (including as applicable, all reasonable legal
fees of outside counsel, any other reasonable fees and expenses in connection with the structuring, documentation, negotiation and closing
of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and due diligence and regulatory filings in connection therewith) (the
“Transaction Expenses”). The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees (including any fees required for same-day processing
of any instruction letter delivered by the Company and any exercise notice delivered by a Purchaser), stamp taxes and other taxes and
duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Securities to the Purchasers.
5.3
Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits, annexes and schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding
of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written,
with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.
5.4

Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument
signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company, the Holder Representative and the Majority Holders (or, prior to the Initial Closing,
the Company, the Holder Representative and each Purchaser), in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such
waived provision is sought, provided that if any amendment, modification or waiver disproportionately and adversely impacts a Purchaser
(or group of Purchasers), the consent of such disproportionately impacted Purchaser (or group of Purchasers) shall also be required.
No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing
waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall
any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right. Any proposed
amendment or waiver that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the rights and obligations of any Purchaser relative to
the comparable rights and obligations of the other Purchasers shall require the prior written consent of such adversely affected Purchaser.
Any amendment effected in accordance with this Section 5.5 shall be binding upon each Purchaser and holder of Securities and the Company.
5.6
Headings; Interpretation. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not
be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference in this Agreement to
a “Section” or “clause” refers to a Section or clause, as the case may be, of this Agreement, and the words “herein,”
“hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any
particular Section or other subdivision. Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference to a statute, rule or regulation refers
to the same (including any successor statute, rule or regulation thereto) as it may be amended from time to time, and the word “including”
shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”
5.7
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and
permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent
of the Majority Holders (as defined in the Notes) (other than by merger). Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this
Agreement to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Notes; provided that any such transferees and transferor
shall have executed an assignment and assumption agreement in the form of Exhibit C hereto and a $3,500 processing fee has been
paid to the Holder Representative).
5.8
No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors
and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise
set forth in Section 4.7 and this Section 5.8.
5.9
Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents
shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the
principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and
defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto
or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively
in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or
in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of
any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Action or Proceeding, any claim that
it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such Action or Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient
venue for such Proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any
such Action or Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery)
to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and
sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process
in any other manner permitted by law. If any party shall commence an Action or Proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction
Documents, then, in addition to the obligations of the Company under Section 4.7, the prevailing party in such Action or Proceeding shall
be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation,
preparation and prosecution of such Action or Proceeding.
5.10
Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.
5.11
Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one
and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party,
it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission
or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party
executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature
page were an original thereof. The words “execution,” “executed,” “signed,” “signature,”
“delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement or any document to be signed in connection with this
Agreement, including the Notes and the other Note Documents, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, shall be deemed to
include electronic signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect,
validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system,
as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and
National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other state laws based on the Uniform Electronic
Transactions Act, and the parties to this Agreement consent to conduct the transactions contemplated hereunder by electronic means.
5.12
Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to
be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall
remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated
by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would
have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared
invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
5.13
Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions
of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction
Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may
rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election
in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.
5.14
Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages,
each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that
monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction
Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that
a remedy at law would be adequate.
5.15
Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document
or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise
or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by
or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including
any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation
or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not
been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
5.16
Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document
are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance
or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other
Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as
a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way
acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each
Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights including the rights arising out of this Agreement or out
of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any
Proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the
Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience
of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed
that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely,
and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.
5.17
Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction
Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts
have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts
are due and payable shall have been canceled.
5.18
Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right
required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding
Business Day.
5.19
Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise
the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against
the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each
and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse
and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the
date of this Agreement.
5.20
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY,
THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY,
IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.
5.21
Holder Representative. Each Purchaser hereby appoints Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB as the holder representative (the “Holder
Representative”) for the benefit of Purchasers under the Notes to serve from the date hereof until the termination of this
Agreement and the Notes.
(a)
The Company agrees to pay to the Holder Representative from time to time compensation for its services as reasonably agreed by the Company
and the Holder Representative, and the Company will pay or reimburse the Holder Representative upon its request for all reasonable expenses
(including Transaction Expenses), disbursements and advances, if any, reasonably incurred or made by the Holder Representative (including
reasonable attorney fees and expenses) in connection with the performance of this Agreement, the Notes, any other Transaction Document
and any agreements ancillary hereto or thereto and the enforcement of the rights and remedies of the Purchasers and the Holder Representative
under any Transaction Document.
(b)
Each Purchaser hereby irrevocably authorizes the Holder Representative to take such action and to exercise such rights and powers hereunder
as provided herein or as requested in writing by the Majority Holders, in accordance with the terms hereof, together with such powers
as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Holder Representative shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are expressly
specified herein and in any other Transaction Document and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations, or
liabilities shall be read into any Transaction Document or otherwise exist against the Holder Representative, except as are explicitly
set forth in any such Transaction Document. The Holder Representative may execute any of its duties hereunder by or through agents or
employees and shall be entitled to request and act in reliance upon the advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its duties
hereunder and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance therewith. The Holder
Representative will incur no liability of any kind with respect to any action or omission by the Holder Representative in connection
with the Holder Representative’s services pursuant to this Agreement or any Note and any agreements ancillary hereto, except in
the event of liability directly resulting from the Holder Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Purchasers
will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Holder Representative (which indemnity and reimbursement obligations shall survive any termination
of this Agreement and/or the resignation or removal of the Holder Representative) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, obligations,
damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs and expenses (including to the extent the Company
fails to make any payments to the Holder Representative as agreed or the Company is prohibited from making any payments to the Holder
Representative pursuant to any subordination agreement or otherwise) of any kind or nature (including the fees and expenses of counsel
and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, “Representative
Losses”) arising out of or in connection with the Holder Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement,
the Notes, any other Transaction Document and any agreements ancillary hereto or thereto and the enforcement of the rights and remedies
of the Purchasers and the Holder Representative under any Transaction Document (including the enforcement of the Purchasers’ indemnity
and reimbursement obligations hereunder), in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event
that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
the Holder Representative, the Holder Representative will reimburse the Purchasers the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss
to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(c)
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Holder Representative (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied
duties or responsibilities, regardless of whether a default or Event of Default (as defined in the Notes) has occurred and is continuing
(the use of the term “Holder Representative” herein and in any other Transaction Document is not intended to connote any
fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law; rather, such term is used merely
as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting
parties), and (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers. The Holder Representative
shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith
or any other Transaction Document or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless
and until the Holder Representative shall have received written instructions in respect thereof from the Majority Holders. If a default
or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Holder Representative shall take such action with respect to such default
of Event of Default as shall be directed by the Majority Holders, provided that, unless and until the Holder Representative shall have
received such directions, the Holder Representative may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such
action, with respect to such default of Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Purchasers. In no event,
however, shall the Holder Representative be required to take any action which exposes the Holder Representative to personal liability,
or which is contrary to this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or applicable law. The Holder Representative shall not be liable
for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Majority Holders. No provision of this Agreement or
any other Transaction Document, any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, or the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby shall require the Holder Representative to: (i) expend or risk its own funds or provide indemnities in the performance of any
of its duties hereunder or the exercise of any of its rights or power or (ii) otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance

(b)
Assignee understands that the Assigned Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state and
may be sold or transferred only if registered pursuant to the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or if an exemption
from registration is available, except under circumstances where neither such registration nor such an exemption is required by law,
and that the Company is not required to register the Assigned Notes under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws;
(c)
it has, independently and without reliance upon the Holder Representative or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information
as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Assignment and Assumption and to purchase

Assignee has been provided a copy of each of the Note Documents, and understands that the Assigned Notes are subject to the terms thereof,
including restrictions on the transfer of the Assigned Notes.

Shelf Registration.
(a)
On or prior to each Filing Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement covering the resale
of all of the Registrable Securities that are not then registered on an effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on
a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. Each Registration Statement filed hereunder shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not
then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate
form in accordance herewith, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e)) and shall contain (unless otherwise directed by Holders representing
at least 50.1% of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement) substantially the “Plan of Distribution”
attached hereto as Annex A and substantially the “Selling Stockholder” section attached hereto as Annex B.
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause a Registration Statement filed under this Agreement
(including under Section 3(c)) to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but
in any event no later than the applicable Effectiveness Date, and shall use its best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously
effective under the Securities Act until the date that all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (i) have been
sold, thereunder or pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 and
without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144, as determined
by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Transfer Agent and
the affected Holders and all restrictive legends associated with such securities have been removed (the “Effectiveness Period”).
The Company shall telephonically request effectiveness of a Registration Statement as of 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading
Day. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders via e-mail of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on the same Trading
Day that the Company telephonically confirms effectiveness with the Commission, which shall be the date requested for effectiveness of
such Registration Statement. The Company shall, by 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the Trading Day after the effective date of such
Registration Statement, file a final Prospectus with the Commission as required by Rule 424. Failure to so notify the Holder within one
(1) Trading Day of such notification of effectiveness or failure to file a final Prospectus as foresaid shall be deemed an Event under
Section 2(d).
(b)
Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in Section 2(a), if the Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable
Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration
statement, the Company agrees to promptly inform each of the Holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments
to the Initial Registration Statement as required by the Commission, covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted
to be registered by the Commission, on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary
offering, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e) with respect to filing on Form S-3 or other appropriate form, and subject to the
provisions of Section 2(d) with respect to Additional Interest; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment,
the Company shall be obligated to use diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable
Securities in accordance with the SEC Guidance, including Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09.
(c)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and subject to the payment of Additional Interest pursuant to Section 2(d), if
the Commission or any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular
Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission
for the registration of all or a greater portion of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to its
Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced on a pro
rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by each Holder whose Registrable Securities are to be included
in such Registration Statement. In the event of a cutback hereunder, the Company shall give the Holder at least three (3) Trading Days
prior written notice along with the calculations as to such Holder’s allotment. In the event the Company amends the Initial Registration
Statement in accordance with the foregoing, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed
by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements
on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the
Initial Registration Statement, as amended.
(d)
If any of the following events (any such event, an “Event”) shall occur, then additional cash interest (the “Additional
Interest”) shall become payable by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Notes covering securities registrable in the applicable
Registration Statement (“Applicable Notes”) to each of the Selling Stockholders as follows:
(i)
if the Initial Registration Statement has not been filed with the Commission on or prior to the Filing Date, then commencing on the first
calendar day following the Filing Date, Additional Interest shall accrue on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Selling
Stockholder’s Applicable Notes at a rate of 0.50% per annum;
(ii)
if a Registration Statement registering for resale all of the Registrable Securities has not been declared effective on or prior to the
applicable Effectiveness Date, then commencing on the day that is the first calendar day following Effectiveness Date, Additional Interest
shall accrue on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Selling Stockholder’s Applicable Notes at a rate of 0.50% per
annum;
(iii)
if a Registration Statement has been declared or becomes effective but ceases to be effective or ceases to be usable for the offer and
sale of the Registrable Securities (other than in connection with a Deferral Period) at any time during the Effectiveness Period and
the Company does not cure the lapse of effectiveness or usability within ten (10) calendar days (or, if a Deferral Period is then in
effect, within ten (10) calendar days following the expiration of such Deferral Period), then Additional Interest shall accrue on the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Selling Stockholder’s Applicable Notes at a rate of 0.50% per annum;
(iv)
if the Company, through its omission, fails to name a Holder as a Selling Stockholder and such Selling Stockholder had complied timely
with its obligations hereunder in a manner to entitle such selling securityholder to be so named in (A) the Registration Statement at
the time it first became effective or (B) any Prospectus at the later of time of filing thereof or the time the Registration Statement
of which the Prospectus forms a part becomes effective, then Additional Interest shall accrue, on the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of the Applicable Notes held by such Selling Stockholder, at a rate of 0.50% per annum; and
(v)
if the aggregate duration of Deferral Periods for a Registration Statement in any period exceeds the number of days permitted in respect
of such period pursuant to Section 3(j), then commencing on the day after the aggregate duration of Deferral Periods in any period exceeds
the number of days permitted in respect of such period, Additional Interest shall accrue on the aggregate outstanding principal amount
of the Applicable Notes at a rate of 0.50% per annum;
provided,
however, that (1) upon the filing and effectiveness (whether upon such filing or otherwise) of the Registration Statement (in
the case of Section 2(d)(i) and Section 2(d)(ii)), (2) upon such time as the Registration Statement which had ceased to remain effective
or usable for resales again becomes effective and usable for resales (in the case of Section 2(d)(iii)), (3) upon the time such Holder
is permitted to sell its Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement and Prospectus in accordance with applicable law
(in the case of Section 2(d)(iv) above), or (4) upon the termination of the Deferral Period referred to in Section 2(d)(v), Additional
Interest shall cease to accrue (without in any way limiting the effect of any subsequent Event requiring the payment of Additional Interest).
Any
amounts of Additional Interest due pursuant to this Section 2(d) will be payable in cash on the next succeeding interest payment date
to Holders entitled to receive such Additional Interest on the relevant record dates for the payment of interest; provided that
any accrued and unpaid Additional Interest with respect to (x) any Notes or portion thereof submitted for conversion, (y) the amortized
principal amount of any Notes and (z) any Notes or portion thereof submitted for repurchase on a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (as
defined in the Notes) and not withdrawn, shall, in each case, be paid in the manner provided for the payment of interest in the Notes.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement, the Company shall not be liable for Additional Interest as to any Registrable Securities
which are not permitted by the Commission to be included in a Registration Statement due to SEC Guidance from the time that it is determined
that such Registrable Securities are not permitted to be registered solely due to SEC Guidance until such time as the provisions of this
Agreement as to the additional Registration Statements required to be filed hereunder are triggered, in which case the provisions of
this Section 2(d) shall once again apply, if applicable.
The
Additional Interest rate on the Notes shall not exceed in the aggregate 0.50% per annum and shall not be payable under more than one
clause of this Section 2(d) for any given period of time.
Nothing
shall preclude a Holder from pursuing or obtaining specific performance or other equitable relief with respect to this Agreement.
(e)
If Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the
resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3
as soon as such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then
in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by
the Commission.
(f)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Company be permitted to name any Holder or affiliate
of a Holder as an underwriter without the prior written consent of such Holder.
3.
Registration Procedures. In connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:
(a)
Not less than five (5) Trading Days prior to the filing of each Registration Statement and not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to
the filing of any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (including any document that would be incorporated or deemed
to be incorporated therein by reference), the Company shall (i) furnish to each Holder copies of all such documents proposed to be filed,
which documents (other than those incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review of such Holders,
and (ii) cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent registered public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall
be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of respective counsel to each Holder, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning
of the Securities Act. The Company shall not file a Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto
to which the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities shall reasonably object in good faith, provided that, the Company
is notified of such objection in writing no later than five (5) Trading Days after the Holders have been so furnished copies of a Registration
Statement or one (1) Trading Day after the Holders have been so furnished copies of any related Prospectus or amendments or supplements
thereto. Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed questionnaire in the form attached to this Agreement as Annex C
(a “Selling Stockholder Questionnaire”) on a date that is not more than five (5) Trading Days following
the date of this Agreement. At least ten (10) Trading Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement for
any registration under this Agreement, the Company will notify each Holder of the information the Company requires from that Holder other
than the information contained in the Selling Stockholder Questionnaire, if any, which shall be completed and delivered to the Company
promptly upon request and, in any event, within five (5) Trading Days prior to the applicable anticipated filing date. Each Holder further
agrees that it shall not be entitled to be named as a selling securityholder in the Registration Statement or use the Prospectus for
offers and resales of Registrable Securities at any time, unless such Holder has returned to the Company a completed and signed Selling
Stockholder Questionnaire and a response to any requests for further information as described in the previous sentence or as detailed
in Section 3(c). Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that the information in the Selling Stockholder Questionnaire or request for further
information as described in this Section 3 will be used by the Company in the preparation of the Registration Statement and hereby consents
to the inclusion of such information in the Registration Statement.
(b)
(i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to each Registration Statement and the
Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable
Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements
in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities, (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended
or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and, as so supplemented or amended, to
be filed pursuant to Rule 424, (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the Commission with respect
to a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and provide as promptly as reasonably possible to the Holders true and complete
copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to a Registration Statement (provided that, the Company shall
excise any information contained therein which would constitute material non-public information regarding the Company or any of its subsidiaries),
and (iv) comply in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the
disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance (subject
to the terms of this Agreement) with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in such Registration Statement
as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.
(c)
If during the Effectiveness Period, the number of Registrable Securities at any time exceeds 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock
then registered in a Registration Statement, then the Company shall file as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any case prior to
the applicable Filing Date, an additional Registration Statement on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those
Registrable Securities covering the resale by the Holders of not less than the number of such Registrable Securities. In addition, from
and after the effective date of any Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, on the first Business
Day of each month (i) to file with the Commission a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or to prepare and, if permitted
or required by applicable law, to file a supplement to the Prospectus or an amendment or supplement to any document incorporated therein
by reference or file any other required document so that each Holder that delivered a Selling Stockholder Questionnaire prior to the
20th day of the prior month is named as a selling securityholder in such Registration Statement and the related Prospectus, and so that
such Holder is permitted to deliver such Prospectus to purchasers of the Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable law and,
if the Company shall file a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to
cause such post-effective amendment to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is practicable; (ii) provide such
Holder as many copies of any documents filed as such Holder reasonably requests; and (iii) notify such Holder as promptly as practicable
after the effectiveness under the Securities Act of any post-effective amendment filed pursuant to this Section 3(c); provided
that if such Selling Stockholder Questionnaire is delivered during a Deferral Period, the Company shall so inform the Holder delivering
such Selling Stockholder Questionnaire and shall take the actions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above upon expiration of the
Deferral Period.
(d)
Notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold (which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vi) below, be accompanied
by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably possible
(and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm
such notice in writing no later than one (1) Trading Day following the day:
(i)
(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed, (B)
when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the
Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement, and (C) with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective
amendment, when the same has become effective;
(ii)
of any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration
Statement or Prospectus or for additional information;
(iii)
of the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness
of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose;
(iv)
of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification
of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceedings for such purpose;
(v)
of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible
for inclusion therein or any statement made in a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated
therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to a Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents
so that, in the case of a Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(vi)
of the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development with respect to the Company that the Company believes may be material
and that, in the determination of the Company, makes it not in the best interest of the Company to allow continued availability of a
Registration Statement or Prospectus;
provided,
however, that in no event shall any such notice contain any information which would constitute material, non-public information
regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and the Company agrees that the Holders shall not have any duty of confidentiality
to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and shall not have any duty to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries not to trade on the basis
of such information. A Holder may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Company requesting that such
Holder not receive notices from the Company otherwise required by this Section 3(d); provided, however, that such Holder
may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from a Holder (unless subsequently revoked),
(x) the Company shall not deliver any such notices to such Holder and such Holder shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated
with any such notice and (y) each time prior to such Holder’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, such Holder
will notify the Company in writing at least two (2) Trading Days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of an event specified
in this Section 3(d) was previously delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of an Opt-Out Notice by the Holder)
and the related suspension period remains in effect, the Company will so notify such Holder, within one (1) Trading Day of such Holder’s
notification to the Company, by delivering to such Holder a copy of such previous notice, and thereafter will provide such Holder with
written notice of the conclusion of such event promptly following its availability.
(e)
Use its best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order stopping or suspending the effectiveness
of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable
Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.
(f)
Furnish to each Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including
financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference to the extent requested
by such Person, and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference)
promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission, provided that any such item which is available on the EDGAR system
(or successor thereto) need not be furnished in physical form.
(g)
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto
by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and
any amendment or supplement thereto, except after the giving of any notice pursuant to Section 3(d).
(h)
Prior to any resale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, (i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate
with the selling Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from registration or qualification) of such
Registrable Securities for the resale by the Holder under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States
as any Holder reasonably requests in writing, to keep each registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the
Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions
of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement, provided that the Company shall not be required to qualify
generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction
where it is not then so subject or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction and (ii) cooperate with the
Holders in connection with any filings required to be made with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (or any successor agency
thereto).
(i)
If requested by a Holder, cooperate with such Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable
Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted
by the Notes, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such
names as any such Holder may request.
(j)
Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(d), as promptly as reasonably possible under the circumstances taking into
account the Company’s good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to the Company and its stockholders of the premature disclosure
of such event, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to a Registration Statement or a supplement to
the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document
so that, as thereafter delivered, neither a Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Holders in accordance with clauses (iii) through (vi) of Section
3(d) above to suspend the use of any Prospectus until the requisite changes to such Prospectus have been made, then the Holders shall
suspend use of such Prospectus. The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly
as is practicable. The Company shall be entitled to exercise its right under this Section 3(j) to suspend the availability of a Registration
Statement and Prospectus, subject to the payment of Additional Interest as required pursuant to Section 2(d), for a period not to exceed
60 calendar days (which need not be consecutive days) in any 12-month period (the “Deferral Period”).
(k)
Otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act, including Rule 172 under the Securities Act, file any final Prospectus, including any supplement or amendment
thereof, with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, promptly inform the Holders in writing if, at any time during
the Effectiveness Period, the Company does not satisfy the conditions specified in Rule 172 and, as a result thereof, the Holders are
required to deliver a Prospectus in connection with any disposition of Registrable Securities and take such other actions as may be reasonably
necessary to facilitate the registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder.
(l)
The Company shall use its best efforts to maintain eligibility for use of Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto) for the registration
of the resale of Registrable Securities.
(m)
The Company may require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company a certified statement as to the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by such Holder and, if required by the Commission, the natural persons thereof that have voting and dispositive control
over the shares. During any periods that the Company is unable to meet its obligations hereunder with respect to the registration of
the Registrable Securities solely because any Holder fails to furnish such information within three (3) Trading Days of the Company’s
request, any Additional Interest that is accruing at such time as to such Holder only shall be tolled and any Event that may otherwise
occur solely because of such delay shall be suspended as to such Holder only, until such information is delivered to the Company.
(n)
The Company shall comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and shall make generally available to its securityholders
an earnings statement (which need not be audited) satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act as soon as practicable
after the effective date of any Registration Statement and in any event no later than forty-five (45) days after the end of the twelve
(12) month period (or ninety (90) days, if such period is a fiscal year) beginning with the first month of the Company’s first
fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of any Registration Statement.
4.
Registration Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company
shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement. The fees and expenses
referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include: (i) all registration and filing fees (including fees and expenses of the Company’s
counsel and independent registered public accountants) (A) with respect to filings made with the Commission, (B) with respect to filings
required to be made with any trading market or exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading, and (C) in compliance with
applicable state securities or blue sky laws reasonably agreed to by the Company in writing (including fees and disbursements of counsel
for the Company in connection with state securities or blue sky qualifications or exemptions of the Registrable Securities), (ii) printing
expenses (including expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses,
(iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance,
and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal
or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable
Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder. In no event shall the Company be responsible for any broker or similar commissions
of any Holder or, except to the extent provided for in the Note Documents (as defined in the Notes), any legal fees or other costs of
the Holders.
5.
Indemnification.
(a)
Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless
each Holder, the officers, directors, members, partners, agents, brokers (including brokers who offer and sell Registrable Securities
as principal as a result of a pledge or any failure to perform under a margin call of Common Stock), investment advisors and employees
(and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any
other title) of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section
20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, members, stockholders, partners, agents and employees (and any other Persons with
a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of each such
controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities,
costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out
of or relating to (1) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, any Prospectus
or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to
any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the
case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (2) any violation
or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder,
in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such
untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder
furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such
Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing
by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement, such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood
that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose), (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified
in Section 3(d)(iii)-(vi), the use by such Holder of an outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable Prospectus after the Company has
notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable for use by such Holder and prior
to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(d), or (iii) any such Losses arise out of the Holder’s (or
any other indemnified Person’s) failure to send or give a copy of the Prospectus or supplement (as then amended or supplemented),
if required, to the Persons asserting an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities to such Person if such statement or omission was
corrected in such Prospectus or supplement. The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of
any Proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of which the Company is aware. Such
indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such indemnified person and shall
survive the transfer of any Registrable Securities by any of the Holders in accordance with Section 6(f).
(b)
Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors,
officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section
20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, to the extent arising out of or based solely upon: any untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto
or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statement or omission is contained
in any information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company expressly for inclusion in such Registration Statement or such
Prospectus or (i) such information relates to such Holder’s information provided in the Selling Stockholder Questionnaire or the
proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly
for use in a Registration Statement (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose), such Prospectus
or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (iii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(d)(iii)-(vi),
to the extent, but only to the extent, related to the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has
notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated
in Section 6(d). In no event shall the liability of a selling Holder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds
received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification
obligation.
(c)
Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity
hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is
sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense
thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses
incurred in connection with defense thereof, provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not
relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it
shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that
such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.
An
Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but
the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party
has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such
Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding, or (3) the named parties to
any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and counsel to
the Indemnified Party shall reasonably believe that a material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent
such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing
that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to
assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying
Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified
Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes
an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and does
not include an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party.
Subject
to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to
the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section)
shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten (10) Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party,
provided that the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses
applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination
is not subject to appeal or further review) not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.
(d)
Contribution. If the indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold
an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified
Party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection
with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in
question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has
been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or
payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any
reasonable attorneys’ or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party
would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party
in accordance with its terms.
The
parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately
preceding paragraph. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a Holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the
dollar amount of the net proceeds received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.
No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution
from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(e)
The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 5 are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties
may have to the Indemnified Parties.
6.
Miscellaneous.
(a)
Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement,
each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement,
including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. Each of the Company and
each Holder agrees that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it
of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect
of such breach, it shall not assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(b)
No Piggyback on Registrations. Neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant
hereto) may include securities of the Company in any Registration Statements other than the Registrable Securities. For the avoidance
of doubt nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company, at any time, from preparing and filing with the Commission a registration
statement relating to an offering for its own account under the Securities Act, a registration statement and/or amendments thereto, including
post-effective amendments, relating to an offering of Common Stock by existing stockholders of the Company under the Securities Act pursuant
to the terms of registration rights held by such stockholder or from filing amendments to registration statements filed prior to the
date of this Agreement, a registration statement on Form S-8 or, in connection with an acquisition, on Form S-4.
(c)
Compliance. Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act
as applicable to it (unless an exemption therefrom is available) in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration
Statement and shall sell the Registrable Securities only in accordance with a method of distribution described in the Registration Statement.
(d)
Discontinued Disposition. By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from
the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(d)(iii) through (vi), such Holder will forthwith discontinue
disposition of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (via email or otherwise) (the
“Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may
be resumed. The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable.
The Company agrees and acknowledges that any periods during which the Holder is required to discontinue the disposition of the Registrable
Securities hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2(d).
(e)
Rule 144. So long as any Registrable Securities remain outstanding, the Company shall (i) make and keep public information available,
as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 of the Securities Act, and, if at any time the Company is not required to file
such reports, it will, upon the written request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, make publicly available other information so
long as necessary to permit sales of such Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act, and (ii)
file in a timely manner all reports and other documents with the Commission required under the Exchange Act, as long as the Company remains
subject to such requirements. The Company covenants that it will take such further action as any Holder of Registrable Securities may
reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration
under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144. Upon the written request of any Holder of Registrable
Securities, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6(e) shall be deemed to require the Company to register any of its securities pursuant to the
Exchange Act.
(f)
Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified
or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing
and signed by the Company and the Holders of 50.1% or more of the then outstanding Registrable Securities (for purposes of clarification,
this includes any Registrable Securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Notes, without regard to any limitations on beneficial
ownership contained therein), provided that, if any amendment, modification or waiver disproportionately and adversely impacts
a Holder (or group of Holders), the consent of such disproportionately impacted Holder (or group of Holders) shall be required. If a
Registration Statement does not register all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a waiver, amendment or modification done in compliance
with the previous sentence, then the number of Registrable Securities to be registered for each Holder shall be reduced pro rata among
all Holders and each Holder shall have the right to designate which of its Registrable Securities shall be omitted from such Registration
Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates
exclusively to the rights of a Holder or some Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may
be given only by such Holder or Holders of all of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided,
however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions
of the first sentence of this Section 6(f). No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or
modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.
(g)
Entire Agreement. The Note Documents (as defined in the Notes), together with the exhibits, annexes and schedules thereto, contain
the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits
and schedules.
(h)
Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of: (a) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is
delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number or email attachment at the email address as set forth on the signature pages attached
hereto at or prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the time of transmission, if such
notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number or email attachment at the email address as set forth on the
signature pages attached hereto on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (c)
the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service or (d) upon

(i)
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns
of each of the parties and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder and each Indemnified Party as set forth in Section 5. The Company
may not assign (except by merger) its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all of the Holders of the
then outstanding Registrable Securities (for purposes of clarification, this includes any Registrable Securities issuable upon exercise
or conversion of the Notes, without regard to any limitations on beneficial ownership contained therein). The Company hereby agrees to
extend the benefits of this Agreement to any Holder (including, to avoid doubt, any Holder that receives Notes upon transfer), and any
such Holder may specifically enforce the provisions of this Agreement as if an original party hereto.
(j)
No Inconsistent Agreements. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities,
that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions
hereof. Except for the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of March 10, 2022, between the Company and each of the several purchasers
signatory thereto, the Company does not have any obligation to any Person to register securities that are not subject to a registration
statement previously declared effective.
(k)
Execution and Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall
be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to
the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered
by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of
2000 (e.g., www.docusign.com), such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose
behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
(l)
Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall
be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles
of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers,
shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City
of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City
of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated
hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally
subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding. Each
party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Proceeding by mailing a
copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect
for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice
thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
If any party shall commence a Proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Agreement, then the prevailing party in such Proceeding shall
be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation,
preparation and prosecution of such Proceeding.
(m)
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY
AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY
WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.
(n)
Cumulative Remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.
(o)
Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to
be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall
remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated
by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would
have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared
invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
(p)
Headings; Interpretation; Construction. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of the
Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference
in this Agreement to a “Section” or “clause” refers to a Section or clause, as the case may be, of this Agreement,
and the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this
Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Section or other subdivision. Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference to
a statute, rule or regulation refers to the same (including any successor statute, rule or regulation thereto) as it may be amended from
time to time, and the word “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The
parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise this Agreement and, therefore,
the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed
in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments thereto.
(q)
Independent Nature of Holders’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint
with the obligations of any other Holder hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations
of any other Holder hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action
taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture
or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity
with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other matters, and the Company acknowledges
that the Holders are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations
or transactions. Each Holder shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including the rights arising out of this Agreement,
and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of
a single agreement with respect to the obligations of the Company contained was solely in the control of the Company, not the action
or decision of any Holder, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do
so by any Holder. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement is between the Company and a
Holder, solely, and not between the Company and the Holders collectively and not between and among Holders.

A
Plan
of Distribution
We
are registering the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of, or payment of amortization or interest with respect to, the Notes
to permit the resale of these shares of common stock by the holders from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not
receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of common stock. We will bear all fees and expenses
incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock.
Sales
of shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders named in this prospectus may be made from time to time in one or more transactions
in the over-the-counter market, on any exchange or quotation system on which shares of our common stock may be listed or quoted, in negotiated
transactions or in a combination of any such methods of sale, at fixed prices that may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the
time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The shares may be offered directly, to or through
agents designated from time to time or to or through brokers or dealers, or through any combination of these methods of sale. The methods
by which the shares may be sold include:
| |
● |
block
trades (which may involve crosses) in which the broker or dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell
a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
purchases
by a broker or dealer as principal and resales by the broker or dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
exchange
distributions or secondary distributions in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker or dealer solicits purchasers; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
privately
negotiated transactions; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
the
writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
the
settlement of short sales; |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
a
combination of any of the foregoing methods of sale; and |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
any
other method permitted by applicable law. |
An
agent, broker or dealer may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or
the purchasers of the shares for whom such brokers or dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principals, or both (which compensation
as to a particular broker or dealer might be in excess of customary commissions). A member firm of an exchange on which our common stock
is traded may be engaged to act as the selling stockholders’ agent in the sale of shares by the selling stockholders.
In
connection with distributions of the shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus or otherwise, the selling stockholders may
enter into hedging transactions with brokers or dealers or other financial institutions with respect to our common stock. In connection
with these transactions, the brokers or dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of our common stock in the
course of hedging the positions they assume with the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may also sell our common stock short
to effect its hedging transactions and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to
return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to
broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.
In
addition, any shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act
may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
The
aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the shares of common stock offered by it pursuant to this prospectus
will be the purchase price of the shares less discounts or commissions, if any. The selling stockholders reserve the right to accept
and, together with its agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of shares of common stock to be
made directly or through agents.
To
the extent required, the shares to be sold, the name of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering
prices, the names of any agents, dealers or underwriters, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer
will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement
that includes this prospectus.
Each
broker-dealer that receives our common stock for its own account pursuant to this prospectus must acknowledge that it will deliver the
prospectus in connection with any sale of our common stock. If required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented on a continual
basis to describe a specific plan of distribution. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders, brokers
and dealers for purposes of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, if applicable.
In
order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus may be
sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares may not be
sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available
and is complied with as part of such sale.
The
selling stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to certain provisions of the Exchange Act.
The Exchange Act rules include Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of our common stock by the selling
stockholders and any other such person. In addition, Regulation M of the Exchange Act may restrict the ability of any person engaged
in the distribution of our common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the common stock. In addition, the anti-manipulation
rules under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of the securities in the market. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of
the securities and the ability of any person to engage in market-making activities with respect to the securities.
The
selling stockholders and any brokers, dealers, agents or others that participate with the selling stockholders in the distribution of
the shares offered by this prospectus may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any
underwriting discounts, commissions or fees received by such persons and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by such persons
may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. If the selling stockholders is deemed to be an “underwriter”
within the meaning of the Securities Act, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. We will make
copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders, brokers and
dealers for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, if applicable.
There
can be no assurance that the selling stockholders will sell any or all of the shares of our common stock offered hereby.
We
will bear all fees and expenses in connection with the preparation and filing of the registration statement of which this prospectus
is a part. The fees and expenses of registration to be borne by us referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include registration,
filing and qualification fees, word processing, duplicating, printers’ and accounting fees, listing fees, messenger and delivery
expenses, all fees and expenses of complying with state securities or blue sky laws, fees and disbursements of our counsel. We estimate
that the total expenses payable by us in connection with the preparation and filing of the registration statement of which this prospectus
is a part will be $[___]. We will indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities
Act. We may be indemnified by the selling stockholders against liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act, that
may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling stockholder specifically for use in this prospectus.
Any
underwriter, dealers and agents engaged by the selling stockholders may engage in transactions with us or the selling stockholders, or
perform services for us or the selling stockholders, in the ordinary course of business.
Annex
B
SELLING
STOCKHOLDERS
The
shares of common stock being offered by the selling stockholders are those issuable to the selling stockholders upon conversion of, or
payment of amortization or interest with respect to, the Notes. We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the
selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of the Notes, the selling stockholders
have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.
For
purposes of this prospectus, “selling securityholders” includes the securityholders listed below and their permitted transferees,
pledgees, assignees, distributees, donees or successors or others who later hold any of the selling securityholders’ interests.
To the extent required, we will file a supplement to this prospectus (or a post-effective amendment hereto, if necessary) to name successors
to any named selling shareholders who are able to use this prospectus to resell the ordinary shares registered hereby.
The
table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by
each of the selling stockholders. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling stockholder,
based on its ownership of the shares of common stock and the Notes, as of [______], assuming full conversion of the Notes held by the
selling stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitation on conversion.
In
accordance with the terms of registration rights agreement with the holders of the notes, this prospectus generally covers the resale
of that number of shares of common stock equal to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of, or payment of amortization
or interest with respect to, the Notes, determined as if the outstanding Notes were converted, as applicable, in full (including the
interest make-whole payment that would apply and any additional shares issuable upon conversion in connection with a make-whole fundamental
change as if the conversion had occurred on such date), in each case as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration
statement was initially filed with the SEC[, less amounts that were previously registered for resale]. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the maximum number of shares that may be resold under this prospectus is [______], which[, together with the [___] shares of common stock
previously registered for resale on [___],] is the maximum number of shares that we may issue to settle conversions or make amortization
or interest payments [until the time, if any, that our stockholders have approved [the issuance of a greater number of shares in accordance
with Nasdaq listing standards][an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common
stock]].
The
amounts listed in the third and fourth columns reflect the number of shares being offered by each selling stockholder and the number
of shares remaining following the sale of such shares, respectively. The amounts listed do not assume sales by any other selling stockholder
and are subject to the maximum number of shares that may be resold under this prospectus.
Under
the terms of the Notes, a selling shareholder may not convert or be issued shares of common stock to the extent such conversion or issuance
would cause such selling shareholders, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of
common stock which would exceed 9.9% of our then outstanding common stock following such conversion or issuance, excluding for purposes
of such determination shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of any Notes that have not been converted. The number of shares
in the second and fourth columns do not reflect this limitation. The selling shareholders may sell all, some or none of their shares
in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

The

Telephone Interpretations regarding short selling:
“An
Issuer filed a Form S-3 registration statement for a secondary offering of common stock which is not yet effective. One of the selling
stockholders wanted to do a short sale of common stock “against the box” and cover the short sale with registered shares
after the effective date. The issuer was advised that the short sale could not be made before the registration statement become effective,
because the shares underlying the short sale are deemed to be sold at the time such sale is made. There would, therefore, be a violation
of Section 5 if the shares were effectively sold prior to the effective date.”
By
returning this Questionnaire, the undersigned will be deemed to be aware of the foregoing interpretation.
I
confirm that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the foregoing statements (including the answers to this Questionnaire) are correct.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF the undersigned, by authority duly given, has caused this Questionnaire to be executed and delivered either in person
or by its duly authorized agent.

APPENDIX

Reed’s,
Inc. (the “Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), hereby adopts this Certificate of Amendment (this “Certificate of Amendment”),
which amends its Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), as described below, and does hereby further
certify that:
FIRST:
The Board of Directors of the Corporation duly adopted a resolution proposing and declaring advisable the amendment to the Certificate
of Incorporation described herein, and the Corporation’s stockholders duly adopted such amendment, all in accordance with the provisions
of Section 242 of the DGCL.
SECOND:
Article FOURTH of the Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph to the end of such Article:
“That,
effective on the filing of this Certificate of Amendment of Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Office of the Secretary of
State of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”), a one-for-[●]1 reverse stock split of the Corporation’s
Common Stock shall become effective, pursuant to which each [●] shares of Common Stock outstanding and held of record by each stockholder
of the Corporation immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be reclassified and combined into one validly issued, fully-paid and
nonassessable share of Common Stock automatically and without any action by the holder thereof upon the Effective Time and shall represent
one share of Common Stock from and after the Effective Time (such reclassification and combination of shares, the “Reverse Stock
Split”). The par value of the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split shall remain at $0.0001 per share. No fractional shares
of Common Stock shall be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. In lieu thereof, (i) with respect to holders of one or more certificates
which formerly represented shares of Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, upon surrender
after the Effective Time of such certificate or certificates, any holder who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Common
Stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, following the Effective Time, shall be entitled to receive one (1) additional whole share
of Common Stock; provided that, whether or not fractional shares would be issuable as a result of the Reverse Stock Split shall be determined
on the basis of (a) the total number of shares of Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time
and (b) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock after the Effective Time into which the shares of Common Stock have been reclassified;
and (ii) with respect to holders of shares of Common Stock in book-entry form in the records of the Corporation’s transfer agent
that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, any holder who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional
share of Common Stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, following the Effective Time, shall be entitled to receive one (a) additional
share of Common Stock automatically and without any action by the holder.
The
total number of shares of capital stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 180,000,500 shares consisting of (a) 180,000,000
shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) and (b) 500,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $10.00
par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”). The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The
board of directors is hereby authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by law, to fix by resolution or resolutions the designations,
powers, preferences, and rights and the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof, of each such series of Preferred Stock,
including without limitation, authority to fix by resolution or resolutions the dividend rights, dividend rate, conversion rights, voting
rights, rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption price or prices, and liquidation preferences of
any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock, and the number of shares constituting such series and the designation thereof, or any
of the foregoing. The board of directors is further authorized to increase (but not above the total number of authorized shares of the
class) or decrease (but not below the number of shares of any such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any series, the number
of which was fixed by it, subsequent to the issue of shares of such series then outstanding, subject to the powers, preferences, and
rights and the qualifications, limitations, and restrictions thereof stated in the resolution of the board of directors originally fixing
the number of shares of such series. If the number of shares of any series is so decreased, then the shares constituting such decrease
shall resume the status which they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series.

Final split ratio, within a range of 1-for-6 to 1-for-25, inclusive, to be determined by Board of Directors pursuant to authority
