Except as disclosed on Schedule 3(c) hereof, no shares are reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s stock option plans. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents no shares are reserved for issuance pursuant to securities exercisable for, or convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock. All of such outstanding shares of capital stock are, or upon issuance will be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non- assessable. No shares of capital stock of the Company are subject to preemptive rights or any other similar rights of the shareholders of the Company or any liens or encumbrances imposed through the actions or failure to act of the Company.

The board of directors of the Company has concluded, in its good faith business judgment that the issuance of the Securities is in the best interests of the Company.

Promptly following a request to the Company the Company shall provide Purchaser with all executed transaction documents relating to any such sale or issue of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents. Company shall deliver acknowledgment of such automatic amendment to the Transaction Documents to Purchaser in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser (the “Acknowledgment”) within three (3) business days of Company’s receipt of request from Purchaser (the “Deadline”), provided that Company’s failure to timely provide the Acknowledgement shall not affect the automatic amendments contemplated hereby.

In the event that the Company proposes to replace its transfer agent, the Company shall provide, prior to the effective date of such replacement, a fully executed Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions in a form as initially delivered pursuant to this Agreement and the Securities (including but not limited to the provision to irrevocably reserve shares of Common Stock in the Reserved Amount (as defined in the Note)) signed by the successor transfer agent to Company and
15
SPA – MAGE, T1, 2017-11-02
the Company. Prior to registration of the Conversion Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Conversion Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of Securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 2(g) of this Agreement. The Company warrants that: (i) no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5, and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2(f) hereof (in the case of the Conversion Shares, prior to registration of the Conversion Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Conversion Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of Securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold), will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Note; (ii) it will not direct its transfer agent not to transfer or delay, impair, and/or hinder its transfer agent in transferring (or issuing)(electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for Conversion Shares to be issued to the Purchaser upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note as and when required by the Note and this Agreement; and (iii) it will not fail to remove (or direct its transfer agent not to remove or impair, delay, and/or hinder its transfer agent from removing) any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions in respect thereof) on any certificate for any Conversion Shares issued to the Purchaser upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note as and when required by the Note and this Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way the Purchaser’s obligations and agreement set forth in Section 2(g) hereof to comply with all applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any, upon re-sale of the Securities. If the Purchaser provides the Company with (i) an opinion of counsel in form, substance and scope customary for opinions in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act and such sale or transfer is effected or (ii) the Purchaser provides reasonable assurances that the Securities can be sold pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates, free from restrictive legend, in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Purchaser. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Purchaser, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5 may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section, that the Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
6.Injunction Posting of Bond. In the event the Purchaser shall elect to convert the Note or any parts thereof, the Company may not refuse conversion or exercise based on any claim that Purchaser or anyone associated or affiliated with Purchaser has been engaged in any violation of law, or for any other reason. In connection with any injunction sought or attempted by the Company, the Company shall be required to post a bond at least equal to the greater of either: (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Note; and (ii) the market value of the Conversion Shares sought to be converted, exercised or issued, based on the sale price per share of Common Stock on the principal market on which it is traded.

If during any three hundred and sixty (360) day period, the Company fails to deliver Unlegended Shares as required by this Section for an aggregate of thirty (30) days, then Purchaser or assignee holding Securities subject to such default may, at its option, require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the shares subject to such default at a price per share equal to the greater of (i) 200% of the most recent closing price of the Common Stock or (ii) a fraction in which the numerator is the highest closing price of the Common Stock during the aforedescribed thirty (30) day period and the denominator of which is the lowest conversion price during such thirty (30) day period, multiplied by the conversion price or exercise price, as the case may be (“Unlegended Redemption Amount”).
