ARTICLE IV. OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

Section 4.01 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, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company 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. The Securities may not be sold or transferred by the Investor without the written consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. As a condition of such sale or transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights of the Investor under this Agreement.

(b) The Investor agrees to the imprinting by the Transfer Agent of its normal restrictive legend on all common share certificates or book entry statements issued to the Investor, so long as is required by this Section 4.01, and/or of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:

[NEITHER] THIS SECURITY [NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS [EXERCISABLE] [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. THIS SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON [EXERCISE] [CONVERSION] OF THIS SECURITY] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or 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, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities, including, if the Securities have been registered for resale pursuant to a registration statement, the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of selling stockholders thereunder.

(c) Certificates evidencing the Underlying Securities shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.01(b) hereof): (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Underlying Securities pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrant), or (iii) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC). The Company shall, at its expense, cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent or such Purchaser promptly if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder, or if requested by the Purchaser, respectively subject to compliance with the holding period requirements of Rule 144 (for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall pay all costs associated with its counsel’s reliance opinions). If all or any portion of the Note is converted or Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Underlying Securities, or if such Underlying Securities may be sold under Rule 144 or 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 SEC) then such Underlying Securities shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.01(c), it will, no later than the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) following the delivery by the Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Underlying Securities, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such date, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4. Certificates for Underlying Securities subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of such Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by such Purchaser. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of a certificate representing Underlying Securities, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend. In addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, 2% of the total of the value of the Underlying Securities for which the removal of the legend is sought (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such Securities are submitted to the Transfer Agent) for each full month that said opinion is not delivered after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend.

(d) In addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser, in cash, (i) as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Underlying Securities (based on the 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 4.01(c), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend and (ii) if the Company fails to (a) issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date a certificate representing the Securities so delivered to the Company by the Purchaser that is free from all restrictive and other legends and (b) if after the Legend Removal Date such Purchaser purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Purchaser of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock that such Purchaser anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend, then, an amount equal to the excess of such Purchaser’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) (the “Buy-In Price”) over the product of (A) such number of Underlying Securities that the Company was required to deliver to such Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date multiplied by (B) the average of the closing sale prices of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery by such Purchaser to the Company of the applicable Underlying Securities (as the case may be) and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this clause (ii).

(e) The Purchaser agrees with the Company that it will sell any Securities only 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 4.01 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.

Section 4.02 Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Underlying 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 Underlying Securities pursuant to the Securities, 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 the Investor and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.

Section 4.03 Piggyback Registration Rights.

(a) Right to Piggyback.

(i) Whenever the Company after the date of a Triggering Financing is required or proposes to register any of its equity securities under the Securities Act (including primary and secondary registrations, and other than pursuant to an Excluded Registration) (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company will give at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Holder of its intention to effect such Piggyback Registration and, subject to the terms of Sections 4.03(b) and 4.03(c), will include in such Piggyback Registration (and in all related registrations or qualifications under blue sky laws and in any related underwriting) all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within twenty (20) days after delivery of the Company’s notice. Such written requests for inclusion will inform the Company of the number of Registrable Securities the Holder wishes to include in such registration statement. If the Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder will nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. Any participating Holders may withdraw its request for inclusion at any time prior to executing the underwriting agreement, or if none, prior to the applicable registration statement becoming effective.

(ii) If a Registration Statement under which the Company gives notice under this Section 4.03 is for an underwritten offering, then the Company will so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities. In such event, the right of any such Holder’s Registrable Securities to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section 4.03 will be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Xxxxxx’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting will enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter, delivered at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting will be excluded and withdrawn from the registration but are eligible for a future registration. For any Holder which is a partnership or corporation, the partners, retired partners and shareholders of such Holder, or the estates of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons will be deemed to be a single “Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “Holder” will be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “Holder,” as defined in this sentence.

(b) Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their good faith opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of distribution of the offering, the Company will include in such registration: (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, any Investor Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any Investor which, in the opinion of the underwriters, can be sold without any such adverse effect, pro rata among such Investors on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such Investor, and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of the underwriters, can be sold without any such adverse effect.

(c) Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Company’s equity securities and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their good faith opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of distribution of the offering, the Company will include in such registration: (i) first, the securities requested to be included therein by the Holders initially requesting such registration which, in the opinion of the underwriters, can be sold without any such adverse effect, (ii) second, the Investor Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the participating Holders holding such Investor Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of Investor Registrable Securities owned by each such participating Holders which, in the opinion of the underwriters, can be sold without any such adverse effect, (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of the underwriters, can be sold without any such adverse effect.

(d) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company will have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 4.03, whether or not any holder of Registrable Securities has elected to include securities in such registration. The Company shall give prompt written notice of such termination to all participating Holders.

(e) Selection of Underwriters. If any Piggyback Registration is an underwritten offering, the legal counsel for the Company, the investment banker(s) and manager(s) for the offering shall be selected by the Company.

Section 4.04 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 to the Investor in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Investor.

Section 4.05 Publicity. The Company and the Investor shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor the Investor shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company with respect to any press release of the Investor, or without the prior consent of the Investor with respect to any press release of the Company mentioning such Investor, 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.

Section 4.06 Indemnification of Investor. The Company shall indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless the Investor and its respective partners, members, shareholders, officers, directors, employees and agents (and any other persons with other titles that have similar functions) (collectively, “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, suits, costs and expenses, of any kind or nature, (including fees relating to the cost of investigating and defending any of the foregoing) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee in any way related to or arising from or alleged to arise from: (i) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents; and (ii) any action instituted against such Indemnitee in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Indemnitee, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of such Indemnitee’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Indemnitee may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such Indemnitee of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Indemnitee which results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitee as determined by a final, nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction).

Section 4.07 Reservation of Underlying Securities.

(a) The Company shall at all times maintain a reserve of the Required Minimum from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amounts as may then be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents. If, on any date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) shares of Common Stock is less than the Required Minimum on such date (a “Required Minimum Failure”), then, in addition to the Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate Subscription Amount of such Purchaser’s Securities on the day of a Required Minimum Failure and on every thirtieth (30^th) day (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the date such Required Minimum Failure is cured; provided that such liquidated damages shall not exceed in the aggregate to twenty-five percent (25.0%) of such Purchaser’s aggregate Subscription Amount. The payments to which the Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.07(a) are referred to herein as “Required Minimum Failure Payments.” Required Minimum Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which such Required Minimum Failure Payments are incurred and (ii) the third (3^rd) Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Required Minimum Failure is cured. In the event the Company fails to make Required Minimum Failure Payments in a timely manner, such Required Minimum Failure Payments shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Nothing herein shall limit such Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Required Minimum Failure, 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.

(b) Upon the occurrence of a Required Minimum Failure, the Company’s 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 day after the first date on which such Required Minimum Reservation Failure occurred.

(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 Purchaser evidence of such listing or quotation and (iv) maintain the listing or quotation 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. The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.

Section 4.08 Stockholder Approval. If the Triggering Financing has not occurred by March 30, 2023, the Company shall file with the SEC a definitive proxy statement, in the form which has been previously reviewed by the Investor and their representatives, at the expense of the Company, for a meeting (special or otherwise) of holders of Common Stock (the “Stockholder Meeting”), soliciting each such stockholder’s affirmative vote at the Stockholder Meeting for approval of resolutions providing for the Company’s issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents and in accordance with applicable law and the rules and regulations of the principal Trading Market without giving effect to any limitation on conversions set forth in the Transaction Documents (such affirmative approval being referred to herein collectively as the “Stockholder Approval”), and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such resolutions in connection with the Stockholder Approval, including, without limitation, by (x) causing the Board of Directors to unanimously recommend to the stockholders of the Company that they approve such resolutions, (y) using reasonable best efforts to cause its officers and directors who hold shares of Common Stock to be present at the Stockholder Meeting for quorum purposes (including by proxy) and (z) using reasonable best efforts to cause such officers and directors to vote their respective shares of Common Stock in accordance with the Board of Director’s recommendation. The Stockholder Meeting shall be promptly called and held not later than April 15, 2023 if so required pursuant to this Section 4.08 (the “Stockholder Meeting Deadline”). If the Stockholder Approval is not obtained by the Stockholder Meeting Deadline, the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain the Stockholder Approval until such approval is received at a subsequent stockholder meeting called for such purposes or at any subsequent annual meeting of its stockholders. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 4.08 shall be construed to contravene the rights of the Investor or to limit the obligations of the Company set forth in the Transaction Documents, including Section 7 of the Note.

Section 4.09 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 the Investor. 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 Investor under applicable State Securities Laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of the Investor.

The payments to which the Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.11(b) are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure Payments.” Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred and (ii) the third (3^rd) Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured.

Nothing herein shall limit such Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Public Information Failure, 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.

Section 4.12 Subsequent Equity Sales.

Purchaser, whether or not participating in a particular Subsequent Financing (defined below), shall have the right, exercisable at any time prior to the Notice Termination Time (defined below) for such Subsequent Financing, to accept the securities and terms of such Subsequent Financing in lieu of the Securities and the terms of this Agreement (“MFN Right”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. If the Company receives such notice from Purchaser of the exercise of its MFN Right on or prior to the Notice Termination Time for such Subsequent Financing, then: (i) effective upon the closing of such Subsequent Financing, the terms of the Securities (and, if and to the extent relevant, the underlying securities) then held by Purchaser and this Agreement (collectively, “Present Terms”) shall automatically be amended by (x) substituting the form, mix and Present Terms of such securities (and, if and to the extent relevant, the underlying securities) with those of the securities issued in the Subsequent Financing (and, if and to the extent relevant, the underlying securities) (the “Subsequent Financing Terms”) and (y) incorporating by reference, mutatis mutandis, the Subsequent Financing Terms in lieu of the Present Terms; and (ii) thereafter, upon the reasonable request of the Company or Purchaser, the parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other in order to further or better evidence or effect such substitution(s) and amendment(s), and to otherwise carry out the intent and purposes of this Section, including the physical exchange of securities.
