3.1 Representations and Warranties of the Company. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, including information contained or incorporated by reference therein, which collectively shall be deemed a part hereof and shall qualify any representation or warranty made herein only to the extent of the disclosure contained in the corresponding section of the SEC Reports, the Company hereby makes the following representations and warranties to each Purchaser as of the Closing, except where otherwise indicated:

(a) Subsidiaries. The Company owns, directly or indirectly, the capital stock or other equity interests of each Subsidiary, free and clear of any Liens, and all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary are validly issued and are fully paid, non-assessable and free of preemptive and similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities.

Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is an entity duly incorporated or otherwise organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, with the requisite power and authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation nor default of any of the provisions of its respective certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents. Each of the Company and the 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, would not have or reasonably be expected to result in: (i) a material adverse effect on the legality, validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document, (ii) a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to perform in any material respect on a timely basis its obligations under any Transaction Document (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Material Adverse Effect”) provided that neither of the following alone shall be deemed, in and of itself, to constitute a Material Adverse Effect: (i) a change in the market price or trading volume of the Common Stock or (ii) a change in general economic conditions or affecting the industry in which the Company operates generally (as opposed to Company-specific changes), so long as such changes do not have a materially disproportionate effect on the Company 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.

(c) Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by each of the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of each of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the Company, the Board of Directors or the Company’s stockholders in connection therewith other than in connection with the Required Approvals. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

(d) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation by it of the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not: (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company or Subsidiary debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or affected, or (iii) subject to the Required Approvals, conflict with or result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Company or a Subsidiary is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Company or a Subsidiary is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(e) Filings, Consents and Approvals. The Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority or other Person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents, other than: (i) the filings required pursuant to Section 4.7, (ii) such consents, waivers, or authorizations as have been obtained before the initial Closing, other than consents from HealthTronics, Inc. or Celularity Inc. which have not been obtained, (iii) if required, the notice and/or application(s) to each applicable Trading Market for the issuance and sale of the Securities and the listing or quotation of the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares for trading thereon in the time and manner required thereby, and (iv) the filing of Form D with the Commission and such filings as are required to be made under applicable state securities laws (collectively, the “Required Approvals”).

The issuance and sale of the Securities will not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any Person (other than the Purchasers) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such securities. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in compliance with federal and state securities laws, and none of such outstanding shares was issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities.

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

4.1 Underlying Shares. If all or any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares, the Warrant Shares issued pursuant to any such exercise shall be issued free of all legends. If at any time following the date hereof any required registration statement registering the sale or resale of the Warrant Shares is not effective or is not otherwise available for the sale or resale of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall immediately notify the holders of the Warrants in writing that such registration statement is not then effective and thereafter shall promptly notify such holders when the registration statement is effective again and available for the sale or resale of the Warrant Shares (it being understood and agreed that the foregoing shall not limit the ability of the Company to issue, or a Purchaser to sell, any of the Warrant Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). The Company shall use best efforts to keep a registration statement registering the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares effective during the term of the Warrants.

4.2 Transfer Restrictions.

(a) The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.2(b) or a transfer to an Affiliate of a Purchaser, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company at the Company’s expense, an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, including the representations and warranties made by each Purchaser herein, and shall have the rights of a Purchaser under this Agreement.

(b) Each Purchaser agrees to the imprinting by the Company, so long as is required by this Section 4.2, of a legend on any of the Securities in substantially the following form:

[NEITHER] THIS SECURITY [NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS CONVERTIBLE] HAS [NOT] BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THIS SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON [CONVERSION] OF THIS SECURITY] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that any Purchaser may from time to time grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and who agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and, if required under the terms of such arrangement and subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, such Purchaser may transfer secured Securities to the secured parties. Absent special circumstances, such a transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the secured party shall be required in connection therewith. At such Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities.

(c) The Company agrees that certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares (or, if Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares are issued in uncertificated form, comparable share notices) shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.2(b) hereof) (“Unlegended Shares”): (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) following any sale of such Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 as to such Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, or (iv) if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission), as reasonably determined by the Company. Upon a Purchaser’s request in connection with a proposed sale of Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144 and if the Company reasonably determines it is so required, upon receipt of customary documentation from such Purchaser’s broker (if the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares are sold in brokers transactions), the Company shall, at its own cost and effort, retain legal counsel to provide an opinion letter to the Transfer Agent opining that the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares may be resold without registration under the Securities Act, pursuant to Rule 144, promulgated thereunder, so long as the requirements of Rule 144 are met for any Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares to be resold thereunder. The Company shall arrange for any such opinion letter to be provided not later than three (3) Business Days after the date of delivery to and receipt by the Company of a written request by a Purchaser together with (if required in order to render the opinion) any broker’s representation letter of other customary documentation reasonably requested by the Company evidencing compliance with Rule 144 (the “Legend Removal Date”).

(d) Each Purchaser agrees that such Purchaser will sell any Securities only pursuant to either an exemption from registration or a registration statement under the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.2 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.

(e) Legend Removal Default. In addition to each Purchaser’s other available remedies, provided the conditions for legend removal set forth in Section 4.2(c) exist, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Conversion Shares and/or Warrant Shares (based on the higher of the actual purchase price or VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such Securities are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.2(d), $10 per Trading Day for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date (increasing to $20 per Trading Day after the third Trading Day) until such certificate is delivered without a legend. Nothing herein shall limit a Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing any Securities as required by the Transaction Documents, and such Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Purchaser shall not be entitled to the remedy prescribed pursuant to this Section 4.2(e) in the event that the Company has used its reasonable best efforts to cause the removal of a restrictive legend and has provided written affirmation of such efforts to such Purchaser, in a form reasonably satisfactory to such Purchaser.

(f) DWAC. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Unlegended Shares, upon request of a Purchaser, so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and such Purchaser is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to electronically transmit the Unlegended Shares by crediting the account of such Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian system, provided that the Company’s Common Stock is DTC eligible and the Transfer Agent participates in the Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian system. Such delivery must be made on or before the Legend Removal Date.

(g) Injunction. In the event a Purchaser shall request delivery of Unlegended Shares as described in this Section 4.2 and the Company is required to deliver such Unlegended Shares, the Company may not refuse to deliver Unlegended Shares based on any claim that a Purchaser or anyone associated or affiliated with such Purchaser has not complied with such Purchaser’s obligations under the Transaction Documents, or for any other reason, unless, an injunction or temporary restraining order from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining delivery of such Unlegended Shares shall have been sought and obtained by the Company and the Company has posted a surety bond for the benefit of such Purchaser in the amount of the greater of (i) 120% of the amount of the aggregate purchase price of the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares to be subject to the injunction or temporary restraining order, or (ii) the VWAP of the Common Stock on the Trading Day before the issue date of the injunction multiplied by the number of Unlegended Shares to be subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Purchaser to the extent such Purchaser obtains judgment in such Purchaser’s favor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.2(g) shall not apply in the event that the Company has used its reasonable best efforts to cause the removal of a restrictive legend and has provided written affirmation of such efforts to a Purchaser, in a form reasonably satisfactory to such Purchaser.

(h) Buy-In. In addition to any other rights available to each Purchaser, if the Company fails to deliver to a Purchaser Unlegended Shares as required pursuant to this Agreement and after the Legend Removal Date a Purchaser, or a broker on such Purchaser’s behalf, purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Purchaser of the shares of Common Stock which such Purchaser was entitled to receive in unlegended form from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall promptly pay in cash to such Purchaser (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by such Purchaser) the amount, if any, by which (A) such Purchaser’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate purchase price of the shares of Common Stock delivered to the Company for reissuance as Unlegended Shares together with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). For example, if a Purchaser purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to $10,000 of purchase price of Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares delivered to the Company for reissuance as Unlegended Shares, the Company shall be required to pay such Purchaser $1,000, plus interest, if any. A Purchaser shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to such Purchaser in respect of the Buy-In. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.2(h) shall not apply in the event that the Company has used its reasonable best efforts to cause the removal of a restrictive legend and has provided written affirmation of such efforts to a Purchaser, in a form reasonably satisfactory to such Purchaser.

(i) Plan of Distribution. Each Purchaser agrees with the Company that such Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.2 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.

4.3 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, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Conversion Shares and Warrant 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.

4.4 Furnishing of Information.

(a) Until the earlier to occur of the time that (i) all Purchasers own no Securities, or (ii) the Warrants have expired, the Company covenants that it will maintain the registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to use all commercially reasonable efforts to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. As long as a Purchaser owns Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchasers and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Purchasers to sell the Securities under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will use all commercially reasonable efforts to take such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell such Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the requirements of the exemption provided by Rule 144.

(b) At any time commencing on the Closing Date and ending at such time that all of the Securities may be sold without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if the Company shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) (a “Public Information Failure”) then, in addition to each Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, increase the aggregate principal amount of each Note by 30% of the then aggregate principal amount of such Note and accrued interest thereon on the day of a Public Information Failure.

4.5 Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for 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 or to effectuate such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the earlier of the closing of such subsequent transaction or effectuation of such other transaction.

4.6 Conversion and Exercise Procedures. Each of the form of Notice of Conversion included in the Notes and the form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants sets forth the totality of the procedures required of a Purchaser in order to convert a Note or exercise the Warrants. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of a Purchaser to convert its Note or exercise its Warrants. The Company shall honor conversions of the Note and exercises of the Warrants and shall deliver Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares, respectively, in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.

4.7 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall, by 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Trading Day within three (3) days following the date hereof, issue a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby and including the Transaction Documents as exhibits thereto. The Company and the Purchasers shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor the Purchasers shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement (other than in the Company’s SEC Reports after the initial Closing Date or exhibits filed therewith) without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of a Purchaser, or without the prior consent of the Purchasers, 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, other than in connection with the Company’s SEC Reports or disclosures to any regulatory agency or Trading Market that the Company determines are necessary or appropriate, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser, in any press release or similar public statement, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser.

4.8 No Shareholder Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that any Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect, or that any Purchaser would be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents or any other agreement between the Company and a Purchaser.

4.9 Non-Public Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company covenants and agrees that after the Closing Date neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf, will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that the Purchasers shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it is aware that the United States securities laws prohibit any person who has material non-public information about a company from purchasing or selling securities of such company, or from communicating such information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities, and each Purchaser agrees not to engage in any unlawful trading in securities of the Company or unlawful misuse or misappropriation of any such information. Each Purchaser agrees to maintain the confidentiality of and not disclose or use (except for purposes relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) any confidential, proprietary or non-public information disclosed by the Company to such Purchaser, unless such information becomes publicly known through no breach of this Agreement by such Purchaser.

4.10 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for working capital purposes, repayment of Indebtedness, business development, and general and administrative expenses.

4.11 Indemnification of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.11, 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 a 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 person and their respective successors and permitted assigns (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees of a single counsel for the Purchaser Parties, taken as a whole, 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 a Purchaser 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, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such Purchaser of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against a 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 such 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 such separate 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 and documented out-of-pocket 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, conditioned 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, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal may be taken.

4.12 Reservation and Listing of Securities.

(a) Within five Business Days of the earlier of the completion of the Reverse Stock Split and the actions otherwise required pursuant to Section 4.12(b) of this Agreement, the Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may then be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents. Upon request by a Purchaser, the Company shall deliver, or cause the Transfer Agent to deliver, to such Purchaser a statement of the number of shares of Common Stock that are currently reserved for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents.

(b) If, on any date following of the earlier of (i) the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split and (ii) January 1, 2024, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) shares of Common Stock is less than the Required Minimum on such date, then the Board of Directors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Company’s certificate or articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to at least the Required Minimum at such time, as soon as possible and in any event not later than the 75th calendar day after such date.

(c) The Company shall, if applicable: (i) in the time and manner required by the principal Trading Market, prepare and file with such Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to the Required Minimum on the date of such application, (ii) take all steps necessary to cause such shares of Common Stock to be approved for listing or quotation on such Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter, (iii) provide to the Purchasers evidence of such listing and (iv) maintain the listing of such Common Stock on any date at least equal to the Required Minimum on such date on such Trading Market or another Trading Market.

4.13 Form D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of any Purchaser. 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 the 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.

4.14 Corporate Existence. So long as any Note remains outstanding, the Company shall not directly or indirectly consummate any merger, reorganization, restructuring, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or any similar transaction or related transactions (each such transaction, an “Organizational Change”) unless, prior to the consummation of an Organizational Change, the Company obtains the written consent of each Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. In any such case, the Company will make appropriate provision with respect to such holders’ rights and interests to ensure that the provisions of this Section 4.14 will thereafter be applicable to the Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, the proposed redomicile of the Company to Delaware shall not be deemed to constitute an Organizational Change.

4.15 Transfer Agent. The Company covenants and agrees that it will at all times while any Note or Warrant remains outstanding maintain a duly qualified independent transfer agent.

4.16 No Short Selling. Each Purchaser has and shall not, directly or indirectly, itself, through related parties, affiliates or otherwise, (i) sell “short” or “short against the box” (as those terms are generally understood) any equity security of the Company or (ii) otherwise engage in any transaction that involves hedging of such Purchaser’s position in any equity security of the Company, until the later of (i) the date the Note owned by such Purchaser is no longer owned by such Purchaser, or (ii) the Maturity Date (as such term is defined in the Notes) and the date of a conversion under the Notes.

4.17 Shareholder Approval. If it is required in order to permit the conversion of the Notes or the exercise of the Warrants (or any other securities that may be issued under or in connection with the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby) issued pursuant to this Agreement into shares of Common Stock in accordance with applicable listing rules or any shareholder approval requirement of the Company’s principal Trading Market (the “Shareholder Approval”), the Company shall (i) hold a special meeting of shareholders (which may also be at the annual meeting of shareholders) as soon as reasonably practicable for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder Approval, with the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors that such proposal be approved, and the Company shall solicit proxies from its shareholders in connection therewith in the same manner as all other management proposals in such proxy statement and all management-appointed proxyholders shall vote their proxies in favor of such proposal and (ii) file a definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) in connection with the foregoing as soon as reasonably practicable; provided however, that the obligations of the Company under clauses (i) and (ii) are subject to the Commission’s review of the Proxy Statement and the Company shall not be deemed to be in violation of this Section 4.17 if it responds to the Commission’s comments on the Proxy Statement, if any, in a timely manner. If the Company does not obtain Shareholder Approval at the first special meeting, the Company shall call a meeting every three months thereafter to seek Shareholder Approval until the earlier of the date Shareholder Approval is obtained or the Notes and the Warrants are no longer outstanding.

4.18 Registration Rights Agreement. The Company shall file a registration statement with the Commission (the “Registration Statement”) covering the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement and maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement from the effective date of the registration statement until all Registrable Securities have been sold in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement.

4.19 DTC Program. At all times that any Note or Warrant is outstanding, the Company shall employ as the transfer agent for its Common Stock, Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares a participant in the Depository Trust Company Automated Securities Transfer Program and cause the Common Stock, Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares to be transferable pursuant to such program.

4.20 Restriction on Future Issuances. The Company will not, from the date of this Agreement through the date that is ninety (90) days after the effective date of the Registration Statement (the “Lock-Up Period”), (a) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant (other than up to an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock to NFS in connection with any future lease between NFS and the Company) to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents or (b) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (a) or (b) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, in cash or otherwise, except for (x) grants of options, shares of Common Stock and other awards to purchase or receive shares of Common Stock under the Company’s equity incentive plans that are in effect as of or prior to the date hereof or (y) issuances of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise or conversion of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding as of the date of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of such Common Stock Equivalents in effect on the date hereof or upon the exercise of options or other awards granted under the Company’s equity incentive plans. The Company agrees not to accelerate the vesting of any option or warrant or the lapse of any repurchase right prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period.

4.21 Indebtedness. For so long as any Note is outstanding, the Company will not incur any Indebtedness other than Permitted Indebtedness (as such term is defined in the Notes), without the consent of the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate amount of Securities issued hereunder.

4.22 Most Favored Nation Provision. From the date hereof and for so long as a Purchaser holds any Securities, in the event that the Company issues or sells any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, if a Purchaser then holding outstanding Securities reasonably believes that any of the terms and conditions appurtenant to such issuance or sale are more favorable to such investors than are the terms and conditions granted to the Purchasers hereunder, upon notice to the Company by such Purchaser within five (5) Trading Days after disclosure of such issuance or sale, the Company shall amend the terms of the Transaction Documents as to such Purchaser only so as to give such Purchaser the benefit of such more favorable terms or conditions. This Section 4.22 shall not apply with respect to an Exempt Issuance or the price of any such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents. The Company shall provide the Purchasers with notice of any such issuance or sale not later than ten (10) Trading Days before such issuance or sale.

5.13 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each Purchaser and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties hereto 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.

5.14 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to a 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, without limitation, 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.

5.15 Usury. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any Proceeding that may be brought by the Purchaser in order to enforce any right or remedy under any Transaction Document. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents from the effective date forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to a Purchaser with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be applied by such Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at such Purchaser’s election.

5.16 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.

5.17 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.

5.18 Construction. The parties hereto hereby agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has 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 hereto.

5.19 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES HERETO EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.
