Related to Compliance With Securities Act Warrant Transfer Disposition of Warrant Shares or Common Stock

• Disposition of Warrant and Exercise Shares (a) The Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any part of the Warrant or Exercise Shares in any event unless and until: (i) The Company shall have received a letter secured by the Holder from the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that no action will be recommended to the Commission with respect to the proposed disposition; (ii) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with said registration statement; or (iii) The Holder shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and if reasonably requested by the Company, the Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, for the Holder to the effect that such disposition will not require registration of such Warrant or Exercise Shares under the Act or any applicable state securities laws. (b) The Holder understands and agrees that all certificates evidencing the shares to be issued to the Holder may bear the following legend: THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

• Registration of Warrant Shares (a) If (but without any obligation to do so) the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Holders) any of its stock or other securities under the Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than a registration statement relating either to the sale of securities to employees of the Company pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase or similar plan or a SEC Rule 145 transaction), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder written notice of such proposed registration. Upon the written request of each Holder given within twenty (20) days after mailing of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section 18(d) hereof, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 8(c), endeavor to cause to be registered under the Act all of the Warrant Shares that each such Holder has requested to be registered. (b) Whenever required under this Section 8(a) to effect the registration of any Warrant Shares, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible use reasonable efforts to (i) file a registration statement (the "Registration Statement"), registering for resale the Warrant Shares and (ii) cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable. The Company promptly shall provide each Holder with such copies of the final prospectus contained in the Registration Statement after it becomes effective as they shall reasonably request. In addition, the Company shall (a) use reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective for a period ending on the earlier of (x) 120 days from its effective date or (y) when all such Warrant Shares can be sold without limitation or delay under Rule 144 and (b) file all reports and forms required to be filed by it under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Reports") on a timely basis so long as each Holder owns any Warrant Shares and shall provide each Holder copies thereof when filed. (c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company shall be entitled to postpone the filing of the Registration Statement otherwise required to be prepared and filed by it in accordance with subparagraph (b) or, in the event the Registration Statement has been declared effective, without suspending such effectiveness, instruct the Holder promptly in writing (or any subsequent holders thereof) not to sell or distribute any Warrant Shares (a "Delay") as long as the reason for non-disclosure continues, if the Company would be required to disclose in the Registration Statement the existence of any fact relating to a material business situation, transaction or negotiation, or would be required to disclose information that the Company has not otherwise made public, in each case, that the Company reasonably determines is in the best interests of the Company not to disclose at such time, and unless and until each Holder furnishes to the Company in writing information that may be required to prepare the disclosure required by Items 507 and 508 of Regulation S-B promulgated under the Act, with respect to such Holder's Warrant Shares being sold under the Registration Statement provided that, with respect to Delays because of information related to the Company (rather than disclosure required to be provided by the holders), the Company shall only be entitled to a maximum of three (3) Delays, each Delay not to exceed a period of thirty (30) days; and further provided, that no period of Delay shall commence within 60 days of a previous Delay. (d) Each Holder shall (i) reasonably cooperate with the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement and execute and deliver any agreements or instruments reasonably requested by the Company or its counsel in connection therewith and (ii) upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the Registration Statement (or any prospectus included therein), as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made (as determined by the Company or its counsel in its sole discretion), forthwith discontinue its disposition of Warrant Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement, until such time as such Holder (or any holders) have received a supplemented or amended prospectus from the Company relating thereto. The Company agrees to use its best efforts to prepare any necessary amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable after the same becomes necessary and to provide to each Holder quantities of such amendments or supplements reasonably sufficient for the distribution thereof. (e) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and its respective officers, directors, employees, members, agents, affiliates and control persons (each of the foregoing, a "Holder Indemnitee") who is or may be a party or is or may be threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of or arising from any actual or alleged misrepresentation or misstatement of facts or omission to represent or state any fact or omission to state a fact necessary to make the facts stated under the circumstances not materially misleading, in the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto or to the prospectus incorporated therein from and against any claim, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorney's fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) ("Loss") actually and reasonably incurred by any such Holder Indemnitee in connection with such claim, action, suit or proceeding or the defense thereof, except to the extent such Loss is the direct result of a misstatement or omission for which such Holder Indemnitee is liable to the Company under Section 9(i); provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 8(e) with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder Indemnitee on account of any such Loss arising from the sale of the Warrant Shares by such Holder Indemnitee to any person if a copy of the definitive prospectus shall not have been delivered or sent to such person within the time required by the Act and the regulations thereunder, and an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission of a material fact contained in such preliminary prospectus was corrected in the definitive prospectus. (f) In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock, the Company shall not be required under Section 8(a) to include any of the Holders’ Warrant Shares in such underwriting unless they accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it (or by other persons entitled to select the underwriters), and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total amount of securities, including Warrant Shares, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Warrant Shares, which the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the securities so included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling stockholders according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each selling stockholder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such selling stockholders).

• Authorization of Warrant Shares The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

• Disposition of Warrant or Shares With respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of this Warrant or any shares of Series Preferred acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant prior to registration of such Warrant or shares, the holder hereof agrees to give written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a written opinion of such holder’s counsel, or other evidence, if reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under the Act as then in effect or any federal or state securities law then in effect) of this Warrant or such shares of Series Preferred or Common Stock and indicating whether or not under the Act certificates for this Warrant or such shares of Series Preferred to be sold or otherwise disposed of require any restrictive legend as to applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with such law. Upon receiving such written notice and reasonably satisfactory opinion or other evidence, the Company, as promptly as practicable but no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of the written notice, shall notify such holder that such holder may sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or such shares of Series Preferred or Common Stock, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company. If a determination has been made pursuant to this Section 7(b) that the opinion of counsel for the holder or other evidence is not reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall so notify the holder promptly with details thereof after such determination has been made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Warrant or such shares of Series Preferred or Common Stock may, as to such federal laws, be offered, sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with Rule 144 or 144A under the Act, provided that the Company shall have been furnished with such information as the Company may reasonably request to provide a reasonable assurance that the provisions of Rule 144 or 144A have been satisfied. Each certificate representing this Warrant or the shares of Series Preferred thus transferred (except a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 or 144A) shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with such laws, unless in the aforesaid opinion of counsel for the holder, such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with such laws. The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions.

• Disposition of Warrants or Shares The Holder of this Warrant, each transferee hereof and any holder and transferee of any Shares, by his or its acceptance thereof, agrees that no public distribution of Warrants or Shares will be made in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act. Furthermore, it shall be a condition to the transfer of this Warrant that any transferee thereof deliver to the Company his or its written agreement to accept and be bound by all of the terms and conditions contained in this Warrant.

• Listing of Warrant Shares Company shall have submitted an application for the listing of the Warrant Shares on the Exchange, and such application and listing shall have been approved by the Exchange, subject only to official notice of issuance, in each case, on or prior to the Premium Payment Date. Company agrees and acknowledges that such submission and approval shall be a condition precedent for the purpose of Section 2(a)(iii) of the Agreement with respect to each obligation of Dealer under Section 2(a)(i) of the Agreement.

• Reservation of Warrant Shares The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

• Issuance of Warrant Shares (a) The Warrant Agent shall on the Trading Day following the Exercise Date of any Warrant, advise the Company, the transfer agent and registrar for the Company’s Common Stock, in respect of (i) the number of Warrant Shares indicated on the Notice of Exercise as issuable upon such exercise with respect to such exercised Warrants, (ii) the instructions of the Holder or Participant, as the case may be, provided to the Warrant Agent with respect to the delivery of the Warrant Shares and the number of Warrants that remain outstanding after such exercise and (iii) such other information as the Company or such transfer agent and registrar shall reasonably request. (b) Upon the Warrant Agent’s receipt, at or prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date, of the executed Notice of Exercise, accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 2(b) of the Warrant Certificate (other than in the case of a Cashless Exercise), the Warrant Agent shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise no later than the Warrant Share Delivery Date.

• Legend on Shares Each certificate for shares of Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant, unless at the time of exercise such shares are registered under the Act, shall bear substantially the following legend (and any additional legend required under the Act or otherwise): “THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, EXCHANGED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT (I) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT EFFECTIVE UNDER THE ACT, OR (II) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT. Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any certificate bearing such legend (except a new certificate issued upon completion of a public distribution pursuant to a registration statement under the Act of the securities represented thereby) shall also bear such legend unless, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, the securities represented thereby need no longer be subject to the transfer restrictions contained in this Warrant. The exercise and transfer restriction provisions of this Warrant shall be binding upon all subsequent Holders of the Warrant.

• Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Debenture and payment of interest on this Debenture, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Debentures), not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 5) upon the conversion of the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture and payment of interest hereunder. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, if the Registration Statement is then effective under the Securities Act, shall be registered for public sale in accordance with such Registration Statement.
