To enable the Parties to monitor the use of funds not later than ten (10) days before the commencement of each calendar month, the Borrower will furnish the Lender with detailed monthly cash expenditure forecasts for such month and also five (5) days after each month end, a variance analysis for the preceding month of actual versus forecast cash expenditure, in each case in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Lender. |
2.3 | Other than the Initial Drawdown each Advance by the Lender shall be at its sole discretion. Each of the Parties however understands that the Second Drawdown will only be made available by the Lender where: |

5 |
(c) | the Borrower makes no payments between March 31st, 2020 and April 15th, 2020, other than employee payroll and withholding taxes without first receiving written consent from the Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld. |

(b) | on receipt of the Drawdown Notice at paragraph (a) above, the Lender shall make the Initial Drawdown Advance to the Borrower; |
3.2 | Other than in respect of the Initial Drawdown all subsequent drawdown of funds (including the Second Drawdown) shall be subject to: |

3.3 | Other than in respect of the Initial Drawdown and the Second Drawdown, all subsequent drawdown of funds (including the Third Drawdown) shall be subject to the Lender and Obligors having executed the Security Agreements and such agreements, together with any Collateral-related filings referred to in Clause 10.2, remaining in full force and effect. |
3.4 | Subject to of the Lender’s right to refuse to make any Advance (at its sole discretion) as set out at Clause 2.1, the Lender shall make each additional Advance to the Borrower if: |
(a) | the Lender has received a duly completed Drawdown Notice from the Borrower; | |
(b) | the proposed drawdown date falls within the Availability Period; | |
(c) | no Termination Notice is served by the Lender within three (3) Business Days prior to the Drawdown Notice; | |

(e) | the amount to be drawn down under the Drawdown Notice does not, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Lender, exceed US$1,000,000 (and the aggregate amount drawn-down does not exceed the Commitment). |
3.5 | Disbursement – Subject to the terms herein, the Lender shall make each Advance available to the Borrower by payment to the account specified in writing prior to the Initial Drawdown or in the relevant Drawdown Notice. |

3.6 | Warrants – As a condition of each Advance, on receipt of any funds advanced to the Lender under the terms of this Agreement, the Borrower shall grant to the Lender a number of Warrants equal to 50% of the gross value of the relevant Advance made (less any set-off for expenses deducted by the Lender). The exercise price of Warrants granted at the time of each Advance shall be equal to the Market Price. The number of Warrants granted shall be determined in accordance with the formula set out below: |
X = (A/B) x 50%
Where:
X = the number of Warrants to be granted;
A = the amount of the Advance; and
B = the Market Price.
3.7 | Within 10 days of each Advance the Borrower shall issue the Lender a duly executed certificate in respect of Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Instrument. The delivery of Warrants with respect to the Initial Drawdown shall be subject to, and shall be made promptly following, receipt of any required approvals of the NYSE American Stock Exchange. The Company shall use its best efforts to obtain any such approvals as promptly as possible after execution of this Agreement. |
4 | Draw-Down Shares and Interest |
4.1 | Interest Rate – No interest shall be charged on any sums outstanding under the Facility whatsoever as the Obligors hereby recognize and agree that the principle of the payment of interest is not permitted by Sharia and accordingly to the extent that any legal system would (but for the provisions of this Clause) impose (whether by contract or by statute) any obligation to pay interest, the Obligors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally expressly waive and reject any entitlement to recover interest from each other. |
4.2 | The Obligors recognize that the receipt and payment of interest is prohibited under Sharia and accordingly agree that if any claims for amounts due under this Agreement are made in a court of law and that court imposes an obligation to pay interest on the amounts being claimed, the Obligors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally expressly waive and reject any entitlement to recover such interest and to the extent any amounts of interest are received by the Lender, it will pay such amounts received to a charity designated by an agreed and recognized Sharia Supervisor. |
4.3 | On the date the Lender has advanced to the Borrower the first US$3,000,000 under this Agreement the Borrower undertakes and covenants that it shall immediately issue to the Lender the Drawdown Shares as an arrangement fee for the Facility.

In lieu of any fractional Share or Unit to which the Lender would otherwise be entitled, the Borrower shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the price of such Share or Unit in the Qualified Offering. |
7.4 | Subject to Clause 7.6, upon the consummation of a Qualified Offering, in the event that the Borrower does not elect to convert the Outstanding Amount into Shares in accordance with Clause 7.1: (a) the Availability Period shall terminate and the Lender will not be required to make any further Advances; and (b) at any time prior to the Repayment Date the Lender shall have the right to elect to receive, in its sole discretion, in lieu of any cash repayment of the Outstanding Amount, a number of Shares (or Units, if Units are sold in the Qualified Offering) equal to the Outstanding Amount being so repaid, divided by the lowest price per Share or Unit paid by investors for Shares or Units in the Qualified Offering before deducting underwriting commissions and discounts, placement agent commissions and fees, and other expenses of the Qualified Offering. In lieu of any fractional Share or Unit to which the Lender would otherwise be entitled, the Borrower shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the price of such Share or Unit in the Qualified Offering. The Borrower shall give the Lender written notice five (5) Business Days prior to making any repayment of the Outstanding Amount under this Agreement in order to permit the Lender to make such an election. If the Lender does not elect to convert the Outstanding Amount to shares in accordance with this Clause 7.4 the Outstanding Amount shall be repayable in full on the Repayment Date (or earlier in accordance with the terms of this Agreement). |
7.5 | If under the rules of the NYSE American or any other stock exchange on which the Shares are listed (an “Applicable Exchange”), approval by the stockholders of the Borrower would be required in connection with the issuance of Shares or Units upon any conversion under this Clause 7, then unless and until such stockholder approval has been obtained, the maximum amount of the Outstanding Amount that may be converted into Shares or Units shall not exceed an amount that would result in the number of Shares (including Shares issued separately or as a part of a Unit) so issued (together with Shares issued upon the consummation of a Qualified Offering in the case of a conversion under Clause 7.1 or that is otherwise deemed by the Applicable Exchange to be in connection with the consummation of the Qualified Offering) exceeding 19.9% of the number of Shares outstanding immediately before such conversion (and before consummation of the Qualified Offering in the case of a conversion under Clause 7.1 or that is otherwise deemed by the Applicable Exchange to be in connection with the consummation of a Qualified Offering). To the extent any funds cannot be so converted as a result of the 19.9% cap such funds shall remain outstanding as loan funds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. |

8.3 | If under the rules of the NYSE American or any other stock exchange on which the Shares are listed (an “Applicable Exchange”), approval by the stockholders of the Borrower would be required in connection with the issuance of Shares upon any conversion under this Clause 8, then unless and until such stockholder approval has been obtained, the maximum amount of the Outstanding Amount that may be converted into Shares shall not exceed an amount that would result in the number of Shares so issued exceeding 19.9% of the number of Shares outstanding immediately before such conversion. To the extent any funds cannot be so converted as a result of the 19.9% cap such funds shall remain outstanding as loan funds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. |

The amount payable by the Guarantors under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Clause 11 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee; and |

11.4 | If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of any Obligor or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made by the Lender in whole or in part on the basis of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored in insolvency, liquidation, administration or otherwise, without limitation, then the liability of each Guarantor under this Clause 11 will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred. |
11.5 | Each Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring the Lender to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from the Guarantors under this Clause 11. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of any Facility Document to the contrary. |
11.6 | The obligations of each Guarantor under this Clause 11 will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 11 (without limitation and whether or not known to an Obligor) including: |
(a) | any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Obligor or other person; | |
(b) | the release of any Obligor under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any member of its group; | |
(c) | the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of, any Obligor or other person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security; | |
(d) | any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of an Obligor or any other person; | |
(e) | any amendment, novation, supplement, extension, restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of this Agreement and/or the Facility Documents or any other document or security including without limitation any change in the purpose of, any extension of or any increase in any facility or the addition of any new facility; |
11 |
(f) | any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation under this Agreement and any Facility Document; or | |
(g) | any insolvency or similar proceedings. |
11.7 | Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with this Agreement and the Facility Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, no Guarantor will exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under this Agreement and/or the Facility Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this Clause 11 including: |
(a) | to be indemnified by an Obligor; | |
