Exhibit 10.1
This Subscription Agreement (this “Subscription Agreement”) is being entered into as of the date set forth on the signature page hereto, by and between Xxxxxx Xxxx, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned subscriber (the “Investor”). The Company is seeking commitments from accredited investors to purchase units (the “Units”) consisting of (i) one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock,” and the shares of Common Stock acquired by the investors collectively, the “Shares”), and (ii) the right to purchase one-third (1/3) of one share of Common Stock (collectively, the “Warrant Shares”) upon exercise of a stock purchase warrant, in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Warrant”), in a private placement for a purchase price of $3.25 per Unit (the “Per Unit Purchase Price”). On or about the date of this Subscription Agreement, the Company is entering into subscription agreements (the “Other Subscription Agreements” and together with the Subscription Agreement, the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain other accredited investors (the “Other Investors” and together with the Investor, the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Investors have, severally and not jointly, agreed to purchase on the Closing Date (as defined below), inclusive of the Units subscribed for by the Investor, an aggregate amount of up to 26,150,000 Units, at the Per Unit Purchase Price.
The aggregate purchase price to be paid by the Investor for the subscribed Units (as set forth on the signature page hereto) is referred to herein as the “Subscription Amount,” and the subscribed shares of Common Stock underlying such Units the “Purchased Shares,” and the subscribed Warrants underlying such Units the “Purchased Warrants”.
In connection therewith, and in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, each of the Investor and the Company acknowledges and agrees as follows:
1.Subscription. The Investor hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company, and the Company agrees to issue and sell to Investor, the number of Units set forth on the signature page of this Subscription Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions provided for herein.
2.Closing. The closing of the sale of the Units contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall occur one (1) business day following the date upon which all conditions precedent to the Investor’s obligation to purchase the Units and the Company’s obligation to deliver the Shares and Warrants have been satisfied or waived in writing (the “Closing Date”). On the Closing Date, the Company shall (a) issue the number of Purchased Shares to the Investor set forth on the signature page to this Subscription Agreement and cause such Shares to be registered in book entry form in the name of the Investor (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions) on the Company’s share register and, as soon as practicable thereafter, provide a copy of the records of the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) showing the Investor (or such nominee or custodian) as the owner of the Shares on and as of the Closing Date, and (b) issue and deliver to the Investor the Purchased Warrants exercisable for the aggregate number of Warrant Shares being purchased by such Investor; provided, however, that the Company’s obligation to issue the Purchased Shares and Purchased Warrants to the Investor is contingent upon the Company having received the Subscription Amount in full accordance with this Section 2.

Each of the Company and its subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined below) and no proceeding has been instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority or qualification.
b.The Purchased Shares, Purchased Warrants and Warrant Shares underlying the Purchased Warrants (collectively, the “Securities”) will be duly authorized and, when issued and delivered to the Investor against full payment therefor in accordance with the terms of this Subscription Agreement or the Purchased Warrant, as applicable, the Purchased Shares, the Purchased Warrants and Warrant Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions (other than those under applicable securities laws), and will not have been issued in violation of or subject to any preemptive or similar rights created under the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws (each as amended to the Closing Date) or the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Company has reserved from its duly authorized capital stock the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Purchased Warrants.
c.This Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming that this Subscription Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the Investor, this Subscription Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, or (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.
d.The execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Securities and the compliance by the Company with all of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will not: (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company is subject that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, assets, operations, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and
its subsidiaries, taken as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”), or materially affect the validity of the Securities or the legal authority of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder and timely comply in all material respects with the terms of this Subscription Agreement; (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of the Company; or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, Rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or materially affect the validity of the Securities or the legal authority of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder and timely comply in all material respects with this Subscription Agreement.
e.The Company is in compliance with all applicable laws, except where such noncompliance would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has not received any written communication from any governmental entity that alleges that the Company is not in compliance with or is in default or violation of any applicable law, except where such non-compliance, default or violation would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company possesses all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate domestic or foreign regulatory authority necessary to conduct its business, except where the failure to possess such permits could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (“Material Permits”), and the Company has not received any written notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any Material Permit.
f.As of their respective dates, all reports, as amended (the “SEC Reports”), required to be filed by the Company with the SEC complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing, and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, and such financial statements have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis (except as may be disclosed therein or in the notes thereto, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, year-end audit adjustments). Except as set forth in the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports, the Company has not incurred any liabilities, contingent or otherwise, except those incurred in the ordinary course of business, consistent (as to amount and nature) with past practices since the date of such financial statements, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, have had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters received by the Company from the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the SEC with respect to any of the SEC Reports.
g.Except as otherwise set forth in the SEC Reports, the Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (a) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (b) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (c) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (d) the recorded accountability for assets and liabilities is compared with the existing assets and liabilities at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and attempted to design such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Company’s most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act, as the case may be, is being prepared. The Company has established internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures 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 such internal controls based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Except as otherwise set forth in the SEC Reports, since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s internal controls. The Company maintains a standard system of accounting established and administered in accordance with GAAP and the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act.

r.None of the Company nor any person acting on its behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any Company securities or solicited any offers to buy any Company securities, under circumstances that would adversely affect reliance by the Company, as applicable, on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for the exemption from registration for the transactions contemplated hereby or would require registration of the Securities under the Securities Act. None of the Company nor any person acting on its behalf has conducted any general solicitation or general advertising (as those terms are used in Regulation D under the Securities Act) in connection with the offer or sale of any of the Securities. No disqualifying event described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i)-(viii) under the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”) is applicable to the Company or, to the Company’s knowledge, any Company Covered Person (as defined below), except for a Disqualification Event as to which Rule 506(d)(2)(ii)-(iv) or (d)(3) under the Securities Act is applicable.

7.Registration Rights
a.The Company agrees that, within fifteen (15) calendar days following the Closing Date (such deadline, the “Filing Deadline”; provided, however, that if such Filing Deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or other day that the SEC is closed for business, the Filing Deadline shall be extended to the next business day on which the SEC is open for business), the Company will file with the SEC (at its sole cost and expense) a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) covering the resale of the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares (such securities, and any other equity security issued or issuable with respect to such securities by way of stock split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event, the “Registrable Securities”), and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 60th calendar day (or 90th calendar day if the SEC notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Closing and (ii) the 5th business day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, however, that if such Effectiveness Deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or other day that the SEC is closed for business, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to the next business day on which the SEC is open for business; and provided further, that the Company’s obligations to include the Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Investor furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding Investor or its permitted assigns, the securities of the Company held by Investor and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities (which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings) as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, and Investor shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations; provided that Investor shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Registrable Securities. In no event shall Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless specifically requested by the SEC in which case the Investor will have an opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents the Company from including any or all of the Registrable Securities
proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Registrable Securities or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register the resale of a number of Registrable Securities which is equal to the maximum number of Registrable Securities as is permitted by the SEC. In such event, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered for each selling shareholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders, and the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC, as promptly as allowed by the SEC, one or more registration statements to register the resale of those Registrable Securities that were not registered on the initial Registration Statement, as so amended. For as long as the Investor holds Registrable Securities, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports for so long as the condition in Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) is required to be satisfied, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable the undersigned to resell the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act (in each case, when Rule 144 of the Securities Act becomes available to the Investor). If the Company is not required to file reports with the SEC pursuant to such laws, it will, for so long as the Investor holds the Registrable Securities, prepare and furnish to the Investor and make publicly available the information described in Rule 144(c)(2), if the provision of such information will allow resales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144. Any failure by the Company to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Deadline shall not otherwise relieve the Company of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement as set forth in this Section 7.
b.In the case of the registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall, upon reasonable request, inform the Investor as to the status of such registration. At its expense the Company shall:
(i)except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which the Company determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to Investor, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (A) Investor ceases to hold any Registrable Securities, and (B) the date all Registrable Securities held by Investor may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable). The Investor agrees to disclose its ownership to the Company upon request to assist it in making the determination described above. The period of time during which the Company is required hereunder to keep a Registration Statement effective is referred to herein as the “Registration Period”;
(ii)during the Registration Period, advise Investor, as expeditiously as possible (and within no later than three (3) business days):
(1)when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC; provided that no such notice is required when prospectus supplements to such Registration Statement have been filed;
(2)after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;
(3)of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and
(4)subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company shall not, when so advising Investor of such events, provide Investor with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Company other than to the extent that providing notice to Investor of the occurrence of the events listed in (1) through (4) above may constitute material, nonpublic information regarding the Company;
(iii)during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;
(iv)during the Registration Period, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 7(b)(ii)(4) above, except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(v)during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the shares of common stock issued by the Company have been listed;
(vi)during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow the Investor to review disclosure regarding the Investor in the Registration Statement; and
(vii)during the Registration Period, otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Investor, consistent with the terms of this Subscription Agreement, in connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities.
c.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to delay the filing or effectiveness of, or suspend the use of, the Registration Statement if it determines that in order for the Registration Statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, (i) an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act, (ii) the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Company or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event the Company’s board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of outside legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Company in the Registration Statement of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Company’s board of directors, upon the advice of outside legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements, or (iii) an amendment thereto so as to convert the Registration Statement to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 at such time after the Company becomes eligible to use such Form S-3 (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that the Company may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two occasions or for more than thirty (30) consecutive calendar days, or more than sixty (60) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period. Upon
receipt of any written notice from the Company of the happening of any Suspension Event (which notice shall not contain material non-public information and which notice shall not be subject to any duty of confidentiality) during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any 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 (in light of the circumstances under which they were made, in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Investor agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until Investor receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Company agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Company that it may resume such offers and sales (which notice shall not contain material non-public information and which notice shall not be subject to any duty of confidentiality), and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Company unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by the Company, Investor will deliver to the Company or, in Investor’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities in Investor’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities shall not apply (A) to the extent Investor is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (1) to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (2) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (B) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.
d.The Investor may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Company requesting that Investor not receive notices from the Company otherwise required by Section 7(c); provided, however, that Investor may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from Investor (unless subsequently revoked), (i) the Company shall not deliver any such notices to Investor and Investor shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to Investor’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, Investor will notify the Company in writing at least two (2) business days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Event was previously delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of Section 7(c)) and the related suspension period remains in effect, the Company will so notify Investor, within one (1) business day of Investor’s notification to the Company, by delivering to Investor a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide Investor with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event promptly following its availability (which notices shall not contain material non-public information and which notices shall not be subject to any duty of confidentiality).
e.Liquidated Damages.
(i)If a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities is not filed with the SEC on or prior to the Filing Deadline, the Company will make pro rata payments to each Investor then holding Registrable Securities, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty (the “Registration Liquidated Damages”), in an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate amount invested by such Investor for the initial day of failure to file such Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline and for each subsequent 30-day period (pro rata portion thereof with respect to a final period, if any) thereafter during which no such Registration Statement is filed with respect to the Registrable Securities. Such payments shall be made to each Investor then holding Registrable Securities in cash no later than ten (10) business days after the end of the date of the initial failure to file such Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline and each subsequent 30-day period (or portion thereof with respect to a final period, if any) thereafter until such Registration Statement is filed with respect to the Registrable Securities. Interest shall accrue at the rate of one percent (1.0%) per month on any such liquidated damages payments that shall not be paid by the applicable payment date until such amount is paid in full.
(ii)If (A) a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities is not declared effective by the Effectiveness Deadline, (B) after a Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, sales cannot be made pursuant to such Registration Statement for any reason (including, without limitation, by reason of a stop order or the Company’s failure to update such Registration Statement), but excluding any suspension permitted pursuant to Section 7(c), or (C) the Company fails to obtain the approval of the NYSE for the listing of any of the Registrable Securities on or before the Effectiveness Deadline, or fails to maintain the listing of the Registrable Securities after a Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC (unless such failure was the result of a suspension of the use of the Registration Statement permitted pursuant to Section 7(c)) (each of (A), (B) and (C), a “Maintenance Failure”), then the Company will make pro rata payments to each Investor then holding Registrable Securities, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty (the “Maintenance Liquidated Damages” and together with the Registration Liquidated Damages, the “Liquidated Damages”), in an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate amount invested by such Investor for the Registrable Securities then held by such Investor for the initial day of a Maintenance Failure and for each 30-day period (or pro rata portion thereof with respect to a final period, if any) thereafter until the Maintenance Failure is cured; provided, however, that with respect to any Maintenance Failure with regard to the Warrants (but not the Shares or the Warrant Shares), no Maintenance Liquidated Damages with respect thereto shall be triggered, due or paid provided that (i) the Company exercised its reasonable best efforts to avoid such Maintenance Failure and (ii) there is no Maintenance Failure ongoing with respect to the Shares or the Warrant Shares. The Maintenance Liquidated Damages shall be paid monthly within ten (10) business days of the date of such Maintenance Failure and the end of each subsequent 30-day period (or portion thereof with respect to a final period, if any) thereafter until the Maintenance Failure is cured. Such payments shall be made to each Investor then holding Registrable Securities in cash. Interest shall accrue at the rate of one percent (1.0%) per month on any such liquidated damages payments that shall not be paid by the applicable payment date until such amount is paid in full.
(iii)The parties agree that (1) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Warrants, no Liquidated Damages shall be payable with respect to any period after the expiration of the Registration Period (as defined below) (it being understood that this sentence shall not relieve the Company of any Liquidated Damages accruing prior to the expiration of the Registration Period), and in no event shall the aggregate amount of Liquidated Damages payable to an Investor exceed, in the aggregate, six percent (6.0%) of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Investor pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and (2) in no event shall the Company be liable in any thirty (30) day period for Liquidated Damages under this Subscription Agreement in excess of one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate purchase price paid by the Investors pursuant to the Subscription Agreements.
(iv)The Liquidated Damages described in this Section 7(e) shall constitute the Investors’ exclusive monetary remedy for any failure to meet the Filing Deadline and for any Maintenance Failure, but shall not affect the right of the Investors to seek injunctive relief.
f.Indemnification.
(i)The Company agrees to indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Investor (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), its directors, officers, partners, managers, members, stockholders, advisers and each person who controls Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act), to the extent permitted by law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees of one law firm (and one firm of local counsel) incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim), as incurred, that arise out of, are based upon or are caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement (“Prospectus”) or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or 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 a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except insofar and to the extent, but only to the extent, as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit regarding the Investor furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Investor expressly for use therein.
(ii)The Investor agrees to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and each person or entity who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or 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 a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained (or not contained in, in the case of an omission) in any information regarding the Investor furnished in writing by on behalf of such Investor expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the liability of the Investor shall be several and not joint with any Other Investor or other selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement and shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Investor from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Investor’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of Investor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(iii)Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (A) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s or entity’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights and defenses) the indemnifying party) and (B) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
(iv)The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf
of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person or entity of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of Securities.
(v)If the indemnification provided under this Section 7(f) from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that the liability of the Investor shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Investor from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The relative fault of the 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 to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by, in the case of an omission), such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 7(f)(i), (ii) and (iii) above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 7(f)(v) from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
g.For purposes of this Section 7, “Investor” shall include any person to whom the rights under this Section 7 shall have been duly assigned.
h.Subject to receipt from the Investor by the Company and Transfer Agent of customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Transfer Agent (which shall not include a legal opinion) in connection therewith, and, if required by the Transfer Agent, an opinion of the Company’s counsel (which opinion shall not be unreasonably withheld), in a form reasonably acceptable to the Transfer Agent, to the effect that the removal of such restrictive legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act, the Investor may request that the Company remove any legend from the certificates or book entry position evidencing the Registrable Securities within two (2) business days of such request and receipt of such representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Transfer Agent (which shall not include a legal opinion), following the earliest of such time as such Registrable Securities (A) are subject to an effective registration statement or (B) have been or are about to be sold pursuant to Rule 144. If restrictive legends are no longer required for the Registrable Securities pursuant to the foregoing, the Company shall, in accordance with the provisions of this Section and reasonably promptly following any request therefor from the Investor accompanied by such customary and reasonably acceptable representations and other documentation referred to above establishing that restrictive legends are no longer required, deliver to the Transfer Agent irrevocable instructions that the Transfer Agent shall make a new, unlegended entry for such Registrable Securities. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of the Transfer Agent and counsel to the Company associated with such issuance. Following the earlier of (A) the later of the Closing Date and the effective date of the registration statement registering such Shares and Warrant Shares or (B) Rule 144 becoming available for the resale of such Shares or Warrant Shares without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, the Company, upon the written request of Investor (and no later than three (3) business days following such request), shall instruct the Transfer Agent to remove the legend from such Shares and Warrant Shares (in whatever form) and shall cause the Company’s counsel to issue any legend removal opinion required by the Transfer Agent.
8.Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further
liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of (a) the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (b) if any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 3 of this Subscription Agreement are (i) not satisfied or waived prior to the Closing or (ii) not capable of being satisfied on the Closing and, in the case of each of (i) and (ii), as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement will not be and are not consummated at the Closing or (c) the Closing does not occur by March 31, 2022 (the termination events described in clauses (a)–(c) above, collectively, the “Termination Events”); provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from any such willful breach.

FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY HERETO NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE WITH A SEPARATE ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.

11.Disclosure. [The Company shall, by 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on March 28, 2022, issue one or more press releases or file with the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K or other applicable form (collectively, the “Disclosure Document”) disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Other Subscription Agreements and any other material, nonpublic information that the Company has provided to the Investor at any time prior to the filing of the Disclosure Document. Upon the issuance of the Disclosure Document, to the actual knowledge of the Company, the Investor shall not be in possession of any material, non-public information received from the Company or any of its officers, directors, or employees or agents, and the Investor shall no longer be subject to any confidentiality or similar obligations under any current agreement, whether written or oral, with the Company or any of its affiliates, relating to the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Subscription Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of the Investor or any of its affiliates or advisers, or include the name of the Investor or any of its affiliates or advisers (i) in any press release or marketing materials without the prior consent of the Investor or (ii) in any filing with the SEC or any regulatory agency or trading market without the prior consent of the Investor, except in the case of clause (ii) as required by the federal securities law or pursuant to other routine proceedings of regulatory authorities or to the extent such disclosure is required by law, at the request of the staff of the SEC or regulatory agency or under the regulations of any national securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed for trading, in which case the Company shall provide Investor with prior written notice of such disclosure permitted under clause (ii).]/[Reserved].1
12.Separate Obligations. The obligations of the Investor under this Subscription Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any Other Investor under the Other Subscription Agreements, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Investor under the Other Subscription Agreements. The decision of Investor to purchase the Securities pursuant to this Subscription Agreement has been made by Investor independently of any Other Investor and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company, and neither Investor nor any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any Other Investor (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any Other Subscription Agreement, and no action taken by Investor, shall be deemed to constitute Investor or any Other Investors under the Other Subscription Agreements as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that Investor or any Other Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements. Investor acknowledges that no Other Investor has acted as agent for Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and no Other Investor will be acting as agent of Investor in connection with monitoring its investment in the Shares or enforcing its rights under this Subscription Agreement. Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Subscription Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
