As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect as of the time of filing. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiary as of the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments which will not be material, either individually or in the aggregate). No other information provided by or on behalf of the Company to any of the Buyers which is not included in the SEC Documents (including, without limitation, information referred to in the disclosure schedules to this Agreement) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, in the light of the circumstance under which they are or were made.

The Company and its Subsidiaries, individually and on a consolidated basis, are not as of the date hereof and as of the Initial Closing Date and any Subsequent Closing Date, if any, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby to occur on the Initial Closing Date and on any Subsequent Closing Date, if any, will not be Insolvent (as defined below).

(t) Litigation. There is no material action, suit, arbitration, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by Nasdaq, any court, public board, other Governmental Entity, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or pending or threatened by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), the Common Stock or any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ officers or directors, whether of a civil or criminal nature or otherwise, in their capacities as such. To the knowledge of the Company, no director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has willfully violated 18 U.S.C. §1519 or engaged in spoliation in reasonable anticipation of litigation. Without limitation of the foregoing, there has not been, and to the knowledge of the Company, there is not pending, contemplated or anticipated, any inquiry or investigation by the SEC involving the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any current or former director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The SEC has not issued any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act. After reasonable inquiry of its officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) promulgated under the 1934 Act) and members of its Board of Directors, the Company is not aware of any fact which might result in or form the basis for any such action, suit, arbitration, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding.

(u) Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any reason to believe that it will be unable to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(v) Employee Relations. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any collective bargaining agreement or employs any member of a union. The Company and its Subsidiaries believe that their relations with their employees are good. No executive officer (as defined in Rule 501(f) promulgated under the 1933 Act) or other key employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has notified the Company or any such Subsidiary that such officer intends to leave the Company or any such Subsidiary or otherwise terminate such officer’s employment with the Company or any such Subsidiary. To the knowledge of the Company, no executive officer or other key employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and the continued employment of each such executive officer or other key employee (as the case may be) does not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in material compliance with all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting labor, employment and employment practices and benefits, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where failure to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries holds good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all real property, leases in real property, facilities or other interests in real property owned or held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, that is material to the business of the Company (the “Real Property”). The Real Property is free and clear of all Liens and, to the knowledge of the Company, is not subject to any rights of way, building use restrictions, exceptions, variances, reservations, or limitations of any nature except for (i) Liens as do not materially affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and the Subsidiary and (ii) Liens for the payment of federal, state or other taxes, for which appropriate reserves have been made therefor in accordance with GAAP and, the payment of which is neither delinquent nor subject to penalties. Any Real Property held under lease by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere in any material respect with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(x) Fixtures and Equipment. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries (as applicable) has good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, the tangible personal property, equipment, improvements, fixtures, and other personal property and appurtenances that are used by the Company and its Subsidiaries to conduct their respective businesses (the “Fixtures and Equipment”).

Except as set forth on Schedule ‎3(x), each of the Company and its Subsidiaries owns all of its Fixtures and Equipment free and clear of all Liens except for (i) Liens for current taxes not yet due, (ii) zoning laws and other land use restrictions that do not impair the present or anticipated use of the property subject thereto and (iii) other Permitted Liens (as defined in the Notes).

None of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ Intellectual Property Rights, which are necessary to conduct their respective businesses, have expired, terminated or been abandoned, or are expected to expire, terminate or be abandoned, within three years from the date of this Agreement. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has, (i) infringed, misappropriated, diluted or violated the Intellectual Property Rights of others, (ii) violated any material term or provision of any contract concerning Intellectual Property Rights, (iii) violated any material right of any person (including any right to privacy or publicity), or (iv) conducted its business in a manner that would constitute unfair competition or unfair trade practices under the laws of any jurisdiction. There is no claim, action or proceeding being made or brought, or to the knowledge of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, being threatened, against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries regarding Intellectual Property Rights of others that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. The Company is not aware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing infringements or claims, actions or proceedings. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all trade secrets within the Intellectual Property Rights of the Company that are materially necessary to conduct their respective businesses. To the knowledge of the Company, no third party is infringing, violating or misappropriating any Company owned Intellectual Property Rights, and there is no claim pending or proceeding regarding any such actual or alleged infringement, misappropriation or other violation of any Company owned Intellectual Property Rights. All former and current employees, contractors and consultants of the Company who have contributed to the creation or development of the Company owned Intellectual Property Rights have executed a valid and enforceable agreement containing an irrevocable assignment to the Company of all of their ownership and other rights therein, including to any invention, improvement or discovery. The Company has not distributed, incorporated or otherwise used any “Open Source Code” (also known as “free software” (as defined by the Free Software Foundation) or “open source software” (as defined by the Open Source Initiative) or has not otherwise distributed publicly software under terms that permit modification and redistribution of such software) in a manner that would require that any of the proprietary software owned by the Company or included in a Company product or service: (i) be made available or distributed in source code form; (ii) be licensed for the purpose of making derivative works; (iii) be licensed under terms that allow reverse engineering, reverse assembly or disassembly of any kind; or (iv) be redistributable at no charge.

(ii) To the Company’s knowledge, no Hazardous Materials are present on, over, beneath, in or upon any Real Property or any portion thereof in quantities that would constitute a violation of any Environmental Laws or in quantities, a manner or location that would reasonably be expected to require remedial action pursuant to any Environmental Laws. No prior use by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any Real Property has occurred that violates any Environmental Laws, which violation would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(iii) To the Company’s knowledge, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries knows of any other Person that has stored, treated, recycled, disposed of or otherwise located on any Real Property any Hazardous Materials, including, without limitation, such substances as asbestos and polychlorinated biphenyls.

The Company and each of its Subsidiaries (i) has timely made or filed all foreign, federal and state income and all other tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject through the date of this Agreement or have requested extensions thereof (except where the failure to file would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect) and (ii) has timely paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations, except those being contested in good faith and for which reserves required by GAAP have been created in the financial statements of the Company or for cases in which the failure to pay would not have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no tax deficiency that has been determined adversely to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which has had a Material Adverse Effect, nor does the Company or its Subsidiaries have any knowledge or notice of any tax deficiency which could reasonably be expected to be determined adversely to the Company or its Subsidiaries and which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(cc) Internal Accounting and Disclosure Controls. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintains internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the 1934 Act) that is effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP, including that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset and liability accountability, (iii) access to assets or incurrence of liabilities is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets and liabilities is compared with the existing assets and liabilities at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any difference.

Since the filing of the Annual Report, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice or correspondence from any accountant, Governmental Entity or other Person relating to any potential material weakness or significant deficiency in any part of the internal controls over financial reporting of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

There is no transaction, arrangement, or other relationship between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and an unconsolidated or other off balance sheet entity that is required to be disclosed by the Company in its 1934 Act filings and is not so disclosed or that otherwise could be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(ee) Investment Company Status.

(l) Passive Foreign Investment Company. The Company shall conduct its business, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to conduct their respective businesses, in such a manner as will ensure that the Company will not be deemed to constitute a passive foreign investment company within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code.

(m) Restriction on Redemption and Cash Dividends. So long as any of the Notes are outstanding or during any period of time when a Subsequent Closing could still potentially occur, except as otherwise permitted under the Notes, the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, redeem, or declare or pay any cash dividend or distribution on, any securities of the Company without the prior express written consent of the Required Holders (other than as required by the Notes or as required by the terms thereof as in effect on the date hereof); provided, however, that such written consent shall not be required for any repurchases, forfeitures, withholdings or transfers of securities pursuant to a net exercise of a Convertible Security to cover the payment of the exercise prices or the payment of withholding of taxes associated with the exercise or vesting of equity awards under any equity compensation plan of the Company.

(n) Corporate Existence. So long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall not be party to any Fundamental Change (as defined in the Notes) unless the Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Changes set forth in the Notes.

Except as set forth in Sections ‎5(c) and ‎5(d), no additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Buyers to receive shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Notes, as applicable. The Company shall honor an election by a Buyer to receive shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Notes, and shall deliver the Note Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Notes. Except as explicitly set forth in the Notes, no legal opinion, information or instructions shall be required of the Buyers to receive Note Shares pursuant to the Notes.

(p) Regulation M. The Company will not take any action prohibited by Regulation M under the 1934 Act, in connection with the distribution of the Securities contemplated hereby.

(q) General Solicitation. None of the Company, any of its affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) under the 1933 Act) or any person acting on behalf of the Company or such affiliate will solicit any offer to buy or offer to sell the Securities by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Regulation D, including: (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar medium or broadcast over television or radio; and (ii) any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.

(r) Integration. None of the Company, any of its affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) under the 1933 Act), or any person acting on behalf of the Company or such affiliate will sell, offer for sale, or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in the 1933 Act) which will be integrated with the sale of the Securities in a manner which would require the registration of the Securities under the 1933 Act or require stockholder approval under the rules and regulations of Nasdaq and the Company will take all action that is appropriate or necessary to assure that its offerings of other securities will not be integrated for purposes of the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of Nasdaq, with the issuance of Securities contemplated hereby.

(s) [Reserved.]

(t) Rule 144. The Company shall cause the Securities and any shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Notes to be eligible to be offered, sold or otherwise transferred by the Buyers pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, without any requirements as to volume, manner of sale, availability of current public information (whether or not then satisfied) or notice under the 1933 Act and without any requirement for registration under any state securities or “blue sky” law, on and after the date that is six (6) months following the (A) Initial Closing Date with respect to the Initial Purchased Notes and the Note Shares with respect thereto and (B) the applicable Subsequent Closing with respect to any Subsequently Purchased Notes and the Note Shares with respect thereto.

(u) Share Reserve. So long as any of the Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall at all times have no less than a number of shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock reserved for any issuance of Note Shares equal to (i) the Initial Required Reserve Amount prior to the Authorized Share Increase (as defined below) and (ii) the Increased Required Reserve Amount following the Authorized Share Increase; provided that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock reserved pursuant to this Section 4(u) be reduced other than in connection with any stock combination, reverse stock split or other similar transaction. The amounts set forth in the definitions of Initial Required Reserve Amount and Increased Required Reserve Amount (including, without limitation, each increase in the number of shares so reserved) shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of the Notes based on the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Notes held by each holder thereof on the date of issuance of the Notes (without regards to any limitations on conversion) (collectively, the “Authorized Share Allocation”). In the event that a holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder’s Notes, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holder’s Authorized Share Allocation. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Notes shall be allocated to the remaining holders of the Notes, pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Notes then held by such holders thereof (without regard to any limitations on conversion). If at any time the number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance is not sufficient to meet the Initial Required Reserve Amount or the Increased Required Reserve Amount, as applicable, the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of stockholders to authorize additional shares to meet the Company’s obligations pursuant to the Transaction Documents, in the case of an insufficient number of authorized shares, obtain stockholder approval (if required) of an increase in such authorized number of shares, and voting the management shares of the Company in favor of an increase in the authorized shares of the Company to ensure that the number of authorized shares is sufficient to meet the Initial Required Reserve Amount or the Increased Required Reserve Amount, as applicable.

(v) Registration Rights. The Company shall:

(i) file registration statements with the SEC as soon as practicable but in no event later than (A) thirty (30) days after the Initial Closing Date with respect to the Initial Purchased Notes and (B) thirty (30) days after the applicable Subsequent Closing Date with respect to any Subsequently Purchased Notes issued on such Subsequent Closing Date (each such date, a “Filing Date”) to register all Shares underlying the Initial Purchased Notes and any Subsequently Purchased Notes, respectively (the “Registrable Shares”) on Form S-1 or Form S-3 under the 1933 Act (providing for shelf registration of such Registrable Shares under SEC Rule 415) (each such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, exhibit or amendment included in or relating to such registration statement being the “Resale Registration Statement”);

(ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such Resale Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable and in any event within 30 days of the filing thereof (or, in the event the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) reviews and has written comments to such Resale Registration Statement, within 60 days of the filing thereof), such efforts to include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, preparing and filing with the SEC any financial statements or other information that is required to be filed prior to the effectiveness of such Resale Registration Statement;

(iii) not less than two (2) Trading Days prior to the filing of each such Resale Registration Statement or any related prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish via e-mail to the Buyers copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other than any document that is incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein) will be subject to the review of the Buyers. The Company shall reflect in each such document when so filed with the SEC such comments regarding the Buyers and the plan of distribution as the Buyers may reasonably and promptly propose (which shall not include demand, underwritten or “piggy back” registration rights) no later than two (2) Trading Days after the Buyers has been so furnished with copies of such documents as aforesaid;

(iv) promptly prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to each such Resale Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Resale Registration Statement continuously effective and free from any material misstatement or omission to state a material fact therein until termination of such obligation as provided in Section 4‎(y) below, subject to the Company’s right to suspend pursuant to Section 4‎(x) below;

(v) furnish to the Buyers such number of copies of prospectuses in conformity with the requirements of the 1933 Act and such other documents as the Buyers may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the Registrable Shares by the Buyers;

(vi) file such documents as may be required of the Company for normal securities law clearance for the resale of the Registrable Shares in such states of the United States as may be reasonably requested by the Buyers and use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such blue sky qualifications during the period the Company is required to maintain effectiveness of each such Resale Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection with this Section 4(v)(vi) to qualify as a foreign corporation or execute a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified or has not so consented;

(vii) upon notification by the SEC that a Resale Registration Statement will not be reviewed or is not subject to further review by the SEC, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day following the date of such notification request acceleration of such Resale Registration Statement (with the requested effectiveness date to be not more than two (2) Trading Days later);

(viii) upon notification by the SEC that a Resale Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, the Company shall file the final prospectus under Rule 424 of the 1933 Act (“Rule 424”) within the applicable time period prescribed by Rule 424;

(ix) advise the Buyers promptly (and in any event within two (2) Trading Days thereof):

(A) of the effectiveness of a Resale Registration Statement or any post-effective amendments thereto;

(B) of any request by the SEC for amendments to a Resale Registration Statement or amendments to the prospectus or for additional information relating thereto;

(C) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Resale Registration Statement under the 1933 Act or of the suspension by any state securities commission of the qualification of the Registrable Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any of the preceding purposes; and;

(D) of the existence of any fact and the happening of any event that makes any statement of a material fact made in a Resale Registration Statement, the prospectus and amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, untrue, or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in a Resale Registration Statement or the prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading;

(x) cause all Registrable Shares to be listed on each securities exchange, if any, on which equity securities by the Company are then listed; and

(xi) bear all expenses in connection with the procedures in paragraphs (i) through (x) of this Section ‎4‎(v) and the registration of the Registrable Shares on each such Resale Registration Statement and the satisfaction of the blue sky laws of such states.

(w) Registration Rights Indemnification.

(i) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Buyers and their respective affiliates, partners, members, officers, directors, agents, brokers and representatives, and each person, if any, who controls a Buyer within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act (each, a “Purchaser Party” and collectively the “Purchaser Parties”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, “Losses”) to which they may become subject (under the 1933 Act or otherwise) insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Resale Registration Statement or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or arise out of any failure by the Company to fulfill any undertaking included in a Resale Registration Statement and the Company will, as incurred, reimburse the Purchaser Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such Loss arises out of, or is based upon an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in a Resale Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Buyers specifically for use in preparation of a Resale Registration Statement.

(ii) The Buyers agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, affiliates, agents, brokers and representatives and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act (each a “Company Party” and collectively the “Company Parties”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any Losses to which the Company Parties may become subject (under the 1933 Act or otherwise), insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Resale Registration Statement (or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in each case, on the effective date thereof), if, and only to the extent, such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of the Buyers specifically for use in preparation of a Resale Registration Statement, and the Buyers will, as incurred, reimburse each Company Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 4(w) be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Buyers upon their sale of the Registrable Shares included in the Resale Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(iii) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified person of a notice of a claim or the beginning of any action in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying person pursuant to this Section ‎4‎(w), such indemnified person shall notify the indemnifying person in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action, and, subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified person and such indemnifying person shall have been notified thereof, such indemnifying person shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified person. After notice from the indemnifying person to such indemnified person of its election to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying person shall not be liable to such indemnified person for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if there exists or shall exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified person for the same counsel to represent both the indemnified person and such indemnifying person or any affiliate or associate thereof, the indemnified person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the expense of such indemnifying person; provided, further, that no indemnifying person shall be responsible for the fees and expense of more than one separate counsel for all indemnified parties. The indemnifying party shall not settle an action without the consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(iv) If after proper notice of a claim or the commencement of any action against the indemnified party, the indemnifying party does not choose to participate, then the indemnified party shall assume the defense thereof and upon written notice by the indemnified party requesting advance payment of a stated amount for its reasonable defense costs and expenses, the indemnifying party shall advance payment for such reasonable defense costs and expenses (the “Advance Indemnification Payment”) to the indemnified party. In the event that the indemnified party’s actual defense costs and expenses exceed the amount of the Advance Indemnification Payment, then upon written request by the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall reimburse the indemnified party for such difference; in the event that the Advance Indemnification Payment exceeds the indemnified party’s actual costs and expenses, the indemnified party shall promptly remit payment of such difference to the indemnifying party.

(v) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4(w) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by an indemnifying party hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such indemnifying party upon the sale of such Registrable Shares.

(x) Suspensions. The Buyers acknowledge that there may be times when the Company must suspend the use of the prospectus forming a part of a Resale Registration Statement until such time as an amendment to such Resale Registration Statement has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the SEC, or until such time as the Company has filed an appropriate report with the SEC pursuant to the 1934 Act. The Buyers hereby covenant that they will not sell any Registrable Shares pursuant to said prospectus during the period commencing at the time at which the Company gives the Buyers notice of the suspension of the use of said prospectus and ending at the time the Company gives the Buyers notice that the Buyers may thereafter effect sales pursuant to said prospectus; provided, that such suspension periods shall in no event exceed 30 days in any 12 month period and that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors, the Company would, in the absence of such delay or suspension hereunder, be required under state or federal securities laws to disclose any corporate development, a potentially significant transaction or event involving the Company, or any negotiations, discussions, or proposals directly relating thereto, in either case the disclosure of which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect upon the Company or its stockholders.

(y) Termination of Registration Rights. The obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 4(y) hereof shall cease and terminate, with respect to any Registrable Shares, upon such time as such Registrable Shares (i) may be freely sold pursuant to Rule 144 without volume limitation or any requirement for current public information, or (ii) have been resold in a transaction pursuant to which all restrictive legends were removed from such securities.

(z) Not an Underwriter. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof shall identify any Buyer as being an underwriter or potentially being an “underwriter” in any disclosure to, or filing with, the SEC, Nasdaq or any other Eligible Market. No Buyer shall be required to agree or admit that it is, or may be, acting as an “underwriter” in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or agree to be named as an underwriter or as potentially being an underwriter in any public disclosure or filing with the SEC, Nasdaq or any other Eligible Market, nor shall any Buyer be required to make any representations to, or undertake any obligations to, the SEC in connection with any registration statement filed by the Company. Any Buyer being deemed an underwriter, or potentially to be an underwriter, by the SEC shall not relieve the Company of any obligations it has under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(aa) Stockholder Approval. At the next annual meeting of the stockholders following the Initial Closing or, if earlier, via a special meeting of stockholders (but in any event by no later than June 30, 2025) (the “Stockholder Meeting”), the Company agrees to hold a stockholder vote for the purpose of obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval (as defined in the Notes) and the approval of the Authorized Share Increase. The Company will prepare and file with the SEC a proxy statement to be sent to the Company’s stockholders in connection with the Stockholder Meeting (the “Proxy Statement”). The Proxy Statement shall include the Board of Directors’ recommendation that the holders of shares of the Company’s Common Stock vote in favor of the Requisite Stockholder Approval and the Authorized Share Increase. The Company shall use its best efforts to obtain approval of the Requisite Stockholder Approval and the Authorized Share Increase. If the Requisite Stockholder Approval and the Authorized Share Increase are not obtained at or prior to the Stockholder Meeting, the Company will hold a special meeting of the stockholders of the Company for the purposes of obtaining such Requisite Stockholder Approval and/or Authorized Share Increase, as applicable, no less often than every ninety (90) days following the date of the Stockholder Meeting until the Requisite Stockholder Approval and Authorized Share Increase are obtained, and the Board of Directors will recommend that the holders of shares of the Company’s Common Stock vote in favor of the Requisite Stockholder Approval and/or Authorized Share Increase, as applicable, at each such meeting. The Requisite Stockholder Approval will be deemed to be obtained if, due to any amendment or binding change in the interpretation of the applicable listing standards of Nasdaq, such stockholder approval is no longer required for the Company to issue Notes Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such actions pursuant to this Section 4(aa) related to obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval shall only be required in the event the Company elects to issue and sell to the Buyers the Subsequently Purchased Notes in accordance with the terms of Section 1(e).

5.	REGISTER; TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.

(a) Register. The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to each holder of Securities), a register for the Securities in which the Company shall record the name and address of the Person in whose name the Purchased Notes have been issued (including the name and address of each transferee), the aggregate amount of the Notes held by such Person and the number of Note Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of the Notes held by such Person. The Company shall keep the register open and available at all times during business hours for inspection of any Buyer or its legal representatives. This provision shall be construed such that the Securities and the Notes are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meanings of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

(b) Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent and any subsequent transfer agent (as applicable) (the “Transfer Agent”) in a form acceptable to each of the Buyers (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”) to credit shares to each such Buyer’s (or its designee’s) account at DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian (“DWAC”) System, provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (“FAST”) and the shares are then eligible for transfer through the DWAC System, or, if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST or if the shares are not then eligible for transfer through the DWAC system, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in (x) the conversion notice of the Notes or (y) the notice that the Company is electing to issue shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Notes or that the Buyers are electing to receive shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Notes, a certificate, registered in the name of such Buyer or its designee, for the applicable number of Note Shares to which the Buyer is entitled, for the applicable Note Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Company or the Buyers, as the case may be, pursuant to the terms of the Notes. The Company represents and warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section ‎5(b) will be given by the Company to the Transfer Agent with respect to the Securities, and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company, as applicable, to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. If a Buyer effects a sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities in accordance with Section 2(g), the Company shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct the Transfer Agent to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Buyer to effect such sale, transfer or assignment. In the event that such sale, assignment or transfer involves Note Shares sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance with Rule 144, the Transfer Agent shall issue such Note Shares to such Buyer, assignee or transferee (as the case may be) without any restrictive legend in accordance with Section ‎5(d). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a Buyer. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section ‎5(b) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section ‎5(b), that a Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. Any fees (with respect to the Transfer Agent, counsel to the Company or otherwise) associated with the removal of any legends on any of the Securities shall be borne by the Company.

(c) Legends. Each Buyer understands that the Securities have been issued (or will be issued in the case of the Note Shares) pursuant to an exemption from registration or qualification under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, and except as set forth herein, the Securities shall bear any legend as required by the “blue sky” laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates in violation of the applicable legend):

Note Legend

THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF NEITHER THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES THAT MAY BE ISSUABLE PURSUANT TO THIS NOTE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. UNTIL THE DATE THAT IS ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE ISSUE DATE (AS DEFINED ON THE REVERSE OF THIS NOTE), THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.

Note Shares Legend

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER (IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY), IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD OR ELIGIBLE TO BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.

(d) Removal of Legends. Certificates evidencing Securities shall not be required to contain the legend set forth in Section ‎5(c) or any other legend (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such Securities is effective under the 1933 Act, (ii) following any sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferor is not an affiliate of the Company), provided that a Buyer furnishes the Company with reasonable assurances that such Securities are eligible for sale, assignment or transfer under Rule 144, which shall not include an opinion of Buyer’s counsel, (iii) if such Securities are eligible to be sold, assigned or transferred under Rule 144 free of the current public information reporting requirement contained in Rule 144(c)(1), (iv) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer (other than under Rule 144), provided that such Buyer provides the Company with an opinion of counsel to such Buyer, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities may be made without registration under the applicable provisions of the 1933 Act or (v) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the 1933 Act (including, without limitation, controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the SEC). If a legend is not required pursuant to the foregoing, the Company shall no later than two (2) Business Days (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the 1934 Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade initiated on the date such Buyer delivers such legended certificate representing such Securities to the Company) following the delivery by a Buyer to the Company or the Transfer Agent (with notice to the Company) of a legended certificate representing such Securities (endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer, if applicable), together with any other deliveries from such Buyer as may be reasonably required above in this Section 5(d) (such date, the “Legend Removal Date”), as directed by such Buyer, either: (A) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, credit the applicable number of shares of Common Stock to which such Buyer shall be entitled to such Buyer’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its DWAC system or (B) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to such Buyer, a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends, registered in the name of such Buyer or its designee. The Company shall be responsible for any transfer agent fees or DTC fees with respect to any issuance of Securities or the removal of any legends with respect to any Securities in accordance herewith and the Buyer shall not be required to deliver or cause to be delivered a legal opinion in connection with a sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144.

(e) If the Company or the Transfer Agent fails to deliver shares to a Buyer or an applicable assignee or transferee (as the case may be) without any restrictive legend in accordance with Section 2(g), Section 5(b) or Section 5(d), then in addition to such Buyer’s other available remedies hereunder, the Company shall pay to such Buyer, in cash, (1) as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Note Shares (based on the Daily VWAP (as defined in the Notes) on the date that the Buyer delivered notice of its entitlement to such shares of the Common Stock on the date such Buyer delivers notice or a legended certificate, as applicable, to the Company or the Transfer Agent) for which the Company or the Transfer Agent fails to deliver shares without any restrictive legend an amount equal to $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 undelivered shares are delivered without a legend; and (2) if the Company is obligated to remove the restrictive legends pursuant to Section 5(d) but fails to (a) issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) shares to a Buyer by the Legend Removal Date that are free from all restrictive and other legends and (b) if after the Legend Removal Date a Buyer purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in settlement of a sale by the Buyer 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 the Buyer anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend, then an amount equal to the excess of the Buyer’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) over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock that the Company was required to deliver to the Buyer by the Legend Removal Date multiplied by (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed. For avoidance of doubt, this Section 5(e) shall not be duplicative with any provisions in the Notes addressing any failure to deliver shares without restrictive legends.

(f) FAST Compliance. While any Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall maintain a transfer agent that participates in FAST.

6.	CONDITIONS TO THE COMPANY’S OBLIGATION TO SELL THE PURCHASED NOTES.

(a) The obligation of the Company hereunder to issue and sell the Purchased Notes to each Buyer at the Initial Closing and any Subsequent Closing is subject to the satisfaction, at or before the Initial Closing Date and any Subsequent Closing Date of each of the following conditions, provided that these conditions are for the Company’s sole benefit and may be waived by the Company at any time in its sole discretion by providing each Buyer with prior written notice thereof:

(i) Such Buyer shall have executed each of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and delivered the same to the Company.

(ii) Such Buyer and each other Buyer shall have delivered to the Company the purchase price for the Purchased Notes being purchased by such Buyer at such Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with a Flow of Funds Letter with respect to the Purchased Notes to be purchased at such Closing.

(iii) The representations and warranties of such Buyer shall be true and correct in all material respects (except for such representations and warranties that are qualified by materiality or material adverse effect, which shall be true and correct in all respects) as of the date when made and as of the date of each such Closing as though originally made at that time (except for representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date, which shall be true and correct as of such specific date), and such Buyer shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by such Buyer at or prior to the date of such Closing.

Nothing contained in this Section ‎8 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

9.	MISCELLANEOUS.

(a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware. The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, provided that if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware does not have jurisdiction, then to the other courts of the State of Delaware, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or under any of the other Transaction Documents or with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude any Buyer from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to such Buyer or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of such Buyer. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

(b) Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page, such signature page shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof. A party’s electronic signature (complying with the New York Electronic Signatures and Records Act (N.Y. State Tech. §§ 301-309), as amended from time to time, or other applicable law) of this Agreement shall have the same validity and effect as a signature affixed by the party’s hand.

(c) Headings; Gender; Interpretation. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found. Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein: (x) to Articles, Sections, Schedules and Exhibits mean the Articles and Sections of, and Schedules and Exhibits attached to, this Agreement; (y) to an agreement, instrument or other document means such agreement, instrument or other document as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time to the extent permitted by the provisions thereof and (z) to a statute means such statute as amended from time to time and includes any successor legislation thereto and any regulations promulgated thereunder.

(d) Severability; Maximum Payment Amounts. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (and without implication that the following is required or applicable), it is the intention of the parties that in no event shall amounts and value paid by the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries (as the case may be), or payable to or received by any of the Buyers, under the Transaction Documents (including without limitation, any amounts that would be characterized as “interest” under applicable law) exceed amounts permitted under any applicable law. Accordingly, if any obligation to pay, payment made to any Buyer, or collection by any Buyer pursuant the Transaction Documents is finally judicially determined to be contrary to any such applicable law, such obligation to pay, payment or collection shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of such Buyer, the Company and its Subsidiaries and such amount shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by the applicable law. Such adjustment shall be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing or refunding, at the option of such Buyer, the amount of interest or any other amounts which would constitute unlawful amounts required to be paid or actually paid to such Buyer under the Transaction Documents. For greater certainty, to the extent that any interest, charges, fees, expenses or other amounts required to be paid to or received by such Buyer under any of the Transaction Documents or related thereto are held to be within the meaning of “interest” or another applicable term to otherwise be violative of applicable law, such amounts shall be pro-rated over the period of time to which they relate.

(e) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Buyers, the Company, its Subsidiaries, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf, including, without limitation, any transactions by any Buyer with respect to Common Stock or the Securities, and the other matters contained herein and therein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties solely with respect to the matters covered herein and therein; provided, however, nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall (or shall be deemed to) (i) have any effect on any agreements any Buyer has entered into with, or any instruments any Buyer has received from, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof with respect to any prior investment made by such Buyer in the Company or (ii) waive, alter, modify or amend in any respect any obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any rights of or benefits to any Buyer or any other Person, in any agreement entered into prior to the date hereof between or among the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries and any Buyer, or any instruments any Buyer received from the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof, and all such agreements and instruments shall continue in full force and effect. Except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor any Buyer makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking. For clarification purposes, the Recitals are part of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Required Holders, and any amendment to any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section ‎9(e) shall be binding on all Buyers and holders of Securities, as applicable; provided that no such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it (A) applies to less than all of the holders of the Securities then outstanding or (B) imposes any obligation or liability on any Buyer without such Buyer’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Xxxxx’s sole discretion). No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party, provided that the Required Holders may waive any provision of this Agreement, and any waiver of any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section ‎9(e) shall be binding on all Buyers and holders of Securities, as applicable, provided that no such waiver shall be effective to the extent that it (1) applies to less than all of the holders of the Securities then outstanding (unless a party gives a waiver as to itself only) or (2) imposes any obligation or liability on any Buyer without such Buyer’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Xxxxx’s sole discretion). No consideration (other than reimbursement of legal fees) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents and all holders of the Purchased Notes. From the date hereof and while any Purchased Notes are outstanding, the Company shall not be permitted to receive any consideration from a Buyer or a holder of Purchased Notes that is not otherwise contemplated by the Transaction Documents in order to, directly or indirectly, induce the Company or any Subsidiary (i) to treat such Buyer or holder of Purchased Notes in a manner that is more favorable than to other similarly situated Buyers or holders of Purchased Notes, or (ii) to treat any Buyer(s) or holder(s) of Purchased Notes in a manner that is less favorable than the Buyer or holder of Purchased Notes that is paying such consideration; provided, however, that the determination of whether a Buyer has been treated more or less favorably than another Buyer shall disregard any securities of the Company purchased or sold by any Buyer. The Company has not, directly or indirectly, made any agreements with any Buyers relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents except as set forth in the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company confirms that, except as set forth in this Agreement, no Buyer has made any commitment or promise or has any other obligation to provide any financing to the Company, any Subsidiary or otherwise. As a material inducement for each Buyer to enter into this Agreement, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (x) no due diligence or other investigation or inquiry conducted by a Buyer, any of its advisors or any of its representatives shall affect such Buyer’s right to rely on, or shall modify or qualify in any manner or be an exception to any of, the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (y) nothing contained in any of the SEC Documents shall affect such Buyer’s right to rely on, or shall modify or qualify in any manner or be an exception to any of, the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. “Required Holders” means (I) prior to the Initial Closing Date, each Buyer entitled to purchase Initial Purchased Notes at the Initial Closing, and (II) on or after the Initial Closing Date, holders of a majority of the Note Shares in the aggregate as of such time issued or issuable hereunder or pursuant to the Notes, as applicable; provided that such majority must include High Trail Special Situations LLC, so long as High Trail Special Situations LLC or any of its affiliates hold any Notes.

(f) Notices. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by electronic mail (provided that such sent e-mail is kept on file (whether electronically or otherwise) by the sending party and the sending party does not receive an automatically generated message from the recipient’s e-mail server that such e-mail could not be delivered to such recipient); or (iii) one (1) Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier service with next day delivery specified, in each case, properly addressed to the party to receive the same.

(i) In consideration of each Buyer’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer and each holder of any Securities and all of their stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company or any Subsidiary in any of the Transaction Documents, (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary contained in any of the Transaction Documents or (iii) any cause of action, suit, proceeding or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary) or which otherwise involves such Indemnitee that arises out of or results from (A) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, any hedging or similar activities in connection therewith), or (B) the status of such Buyer or holder of the Securities either as an investor in the Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or as a party to this Agreement (including, without limitation, any hedging or similar activities in connection therewith or as a party in interest or otherwise in any action or proceeding for injunctive or other equitable relief); provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to a Buyer or its related Indemnitees to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises primarily out of or is based primarily upon the inaccuracy of any representations and warranties made by such Buyer herein or the Buyer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

(ii) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee under this Section ‎9(k) of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including, without limitation, any governmental action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section ‎9(k), deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnitee; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the indemnifying party if: (i) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Indemnified Liability and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee in any such Indemnified Liability; or (iii) the named parties to any such Indemnified Liability (including, without limitation, any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnitee and the indemnifying party, and such Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnitee and the indemnifying party (in which case, if such Indemnitee notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, then the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party), provided further that in the case of clause (iii) above the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one (1) separate legal counsel for such Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnitee which relates to such Indemnified Liability. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnitee reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such Indemnified Liability, and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnitee. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Section ‎9(k), except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section ‎9(k) shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Liabilities are incurred. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnitees against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

(l) Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. No specific representation or warranty shall limit the generality or applicability of a more general representation or warranty. Each and every reference to share prices, shares of Common Stock and any other numbers in this Agreement that relate to the Common Stock shall be automatically adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions that occur with respect to the Common Stock after the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty against, or a prohibition of, any actions with respect to the borrowing of, arrangement to borrow, identification of the availability of, and/or securing of, securities of the Company in order for such Buyer (or its broker or other financial representative) to effect short sales or similar transactions in the future.

(m) Remedies. Each Buyer and in the event of assignment by Buyer of its rights and obligations hereunder, each holder of Securities, shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, the Company recognizes that in the event that it or any Subsidiary fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its or such Subsidiary’s (as the case may be) obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law would be inadequate relief to the Buyers. The Company therefore agrees that the Buyers shall be entitled to specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security. The remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief).

(n) Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Buyer exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company or any Subsidiary does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided or if no period is prescribed, within a reasonable period of time, then such Buyer may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company or such Subsidiary (as the case may be), any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

(o) Payment Set Aside; Currency. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Buyer hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or any of the Buyers enforce or exercise their rights hereunder or 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, foreign, 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. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are in United States Dollars (“U.S. Dollars”), and all amounts owing under this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents shall be paid in U.S. Dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies (if any) shall be converted into the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount in accordance with the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation. “Exchange Rate” means, in relation to any amount of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant to this Agreement, the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the relevant date of calculation.

(p) Judgment Currency.

(i) If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Company in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in any court in any jurisdiction it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section ‎9(p) referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in U.S. Dollars under this Agreement, the conversion shall be made at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding:

(1) the date actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date; or

(2) the date on which the foreign court determines, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section ‎9(p)(i)(2) being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”).

(ii) If in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section ‎9(p)(i)(2), there is a change in the Exchange Rate prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the applicable party shall pay such adjusted amount as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of U.S. Dollars which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date.

(iii) Any amount due from the Company under this provision shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(q) Independent Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Buyer under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Buyer under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Buyers as, and the Company acknowledges that the Buyers do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity, and the Company shall not assert any such claim with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or any matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Buyers are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The decision of each Buyer to purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Buyer independently of any other Buyer. Each Buyer acknowledges that no other Buyer has acted as agent for such Buyer in connection with such Buyer making its investment hereunder and that no other Buyer will be acting as agent of such Buyer in connection with monitoring such Xxxxx’s investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. The Company and each Buyer confirms that each Buyer has independently participated with the Company and its Subsidiaries in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Buyer shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement to effectuate the purchase and sale of the Securities contemplated hereby was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of any Buyer, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and its Subsidiaries and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Buyer. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company, each Subsidiary and a Buyer, solely, and not between the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Buyers collectively and not between and among the Buyers.

(r) Performance Date. If the date by which any obligation under any of the Transaction Documents must be performed occurs on a day other than a Business Day, then the date by which such performance is required shall be the next Business Day following such date.

(s) Enforcement Fees. The Company agrees to pay all costs and expenses of the Buyers incurred as a result of enforcement of the Transaction Documents and the collection of any amounts owed to the Buyers hereunder (whether in cash, equity or otherwise), including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.

(t) Collateral Agent.

(i) Appointment; Authorization. The Buyers, together with any successors or assigns thereof, hereby irrevocably appoint, designate and authorize High Trail Special Situations LLC as collateral agent to take such action on their behalf under the provisions of the Notes, each Security Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of each Security Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section ‎9(t) are solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, and the Company shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any Security Document (or any other similar term) with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in the Notes, any Security Document or any other agreement, instrument or document related hereto or thereto, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility except those expressly set forth herein, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into the Notes, any Security Document or any other agreement, instrument or document related hereto or thereto or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent.

(ii) Delegation of Duties. The Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any Security Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through its Affiliates (as defined in the Notes), partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, administrators, managers, advisors and representatives, or the partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, administrators, managers, advisors and representatives of any of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Related Parties”). The exculpatory provisions of this Section ‎9(t) shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Collateral Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

(iii) Exculpatory Provisions.

(A) The Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Security Documents, and its duties shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent: (i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default (as defined in the Notes) has occurred and is continuing or an Event of Default (as defined in the Notes) has occurred; (ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers; and (iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth in the Security Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(B) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Collateral Agent in writing by the Company.

(C) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with the Notes, any Security Document or any other agreement, instrument or document related hereto or thereto, (b) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (c) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (d) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of the Notes, any Security Document or any other agreement, instrument or document related to the Notes or Security Documents, or (e) any failure of the Company or any other party to the Notes, any Security Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document related to the Notes or Security Documents to perform its obligations thereunder. The Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, the Notes, any Security Document or any other agreement, instrument or document related to the Notes or Security Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company.

(iv) Reliance by Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

(v) Successor Agent. The Collateral Agent may resign as the Collateral Agent at any time upon ten (10) days’ prior notice to the Buyers and the Company. If the Collateral Agent resigns under the Notes, the Required Holders shall appoint a successor agent. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may appoint a successor Collateral Agent on behalf of the Buyers after consulting with the Buyers. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent xxxxxxxxx, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent and the term “the Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Section ‎9(t) shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Collateral Agent. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Collateral Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Collateral Agent’s notice of resignation, a retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Buyers, shall perform all of the duties of the Collateral Agent hereunder until such time as Required Holders shall appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

(vi) Non-Reliance on the Collateral Agent. The Buyers acknowledges that they have, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any of its Related Parties and based on such documents and information as they have deemed appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter invest in the Notes. The Buyers also acknowledges that they will, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any of its Related Parties and based on such documents and information as they shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make their own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon the Notes, any Security Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(vii) Collateral Matters. The Buyers irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent to release any Lien (as defined in the Notes) granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Security Document (i) when all Secured Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement) have been paid in full; (ii) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted under the Notes and each other agreement, instrument or document related thereto (it being agreed and understood that the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of an officer of the Company as to the sale or other disposition of property being made in compliance with the Notes and each other agreement, instrument or document related thereto); or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Buyers. The Collateral Agent shall have the right, in accordance with the Security Documents to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Pledged Collateral for cash, credit or any combination thereof, and the Collateral Agent may purchase any Pledged Collateral at public or, if permitted by law, private sale and, in lieu of actual payment of the purchase price, may credit bid and setoff the amount of such price against the Obligations.

(viii) Reimbursement by Xxxxxx. To the extent that the Company for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Sections ‎4(g) or ‎9(k) to be paid by it to the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Buyers hereby agree, jointly and severally, to pay to the Collateral Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party of the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), as the case may be, such unpaid amount.

(ix) Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Buyers shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Company or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Collateral Agent, or the Collateral Agent enforces its Liens or exercises its rights of set-off, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Collateral Agent in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party in connection with any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, or otherwise, then (i) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation under the Notes 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 set-off had not occurred and (ii) the Buyers agree to pay to the Collateral Agent upon demand its share of the total amount so recovered from or repaid by the Collateral Agent to the extent paid to the Buyers.
