On the Closing Date, the Company and Buyer shall enter into that certain registration rights agreement with respect to the registration of the Conversion Shares, Warrant Shares, and Commitment Shares (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). In addition, from and after the Closing Date and until the date that the Conversion Shares, Warrant Shares, and Commitment Shares are registered for resale by Buyer pursuant to a Registration Statement as further described in the Registration Rights Agreement, if the Company contemplates making an offering of Common Stock (or other equity securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) registered for sale under the Securities Act or proposes to file a Registration Statement covering any of its securities, the Company shall at each such time give prompt written notice to Investments and Buyer of its intention to do so and of the registration rights granted under this Agreement. Upon the written request of Investments and/or Buyer made within thirty (30) days after the receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by Investments and/or Buyer and the intended method of disposition thereof), the Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, use its best efforts to effect the registration of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by Investments and/or Buyer, to the extent requisite to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods of disposition) of the Registrable Securities by Investments and/or Buyer, by inclusion of such Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement which covers the securities which the Company proposes to register; provided, that if the Company is unable to register the full amount of Registrable Securities in an “at the market offering” under SEC rules and regulations due to the high percentage of the Company’s Common Stock the Registrable Securities represents (giving effect to all other securities being registered in the Registration Statement), then the Company may reduce, on a pro rata basis, the amount of Registrable Securities subject to the Registration Statement to a lesser amount which equals the maximum number of Registrable Securities that the Company is permitted to register in an “at the market offering”; and provided, further, that if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any Registrable Securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason either not to register or to delay registration of such Registrable Securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to Investments and/or the Buyer and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination not to register, the Company shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay the expenses of registration in connection therewith), and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay registering such Registrable Securities, shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities, for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities. If Buyer shall have transferred all or part of its Registrable Securities, then for purposes of this Section, the term “Buyer” shall reference Buyer and/or such transferee(s).

d. Securities Filings. The Company undertakes and agrees to make all necessary filings (including, without limitation, a Form D) in connection with the sale of the Securities to the Buyer required under any United States laws and regulations applicable to the Company (including without limitation state “blue sky” laws), or by any domestic securities exchange or trading market, and to provide a copy thereof to the Buyer promptly after such filing.

e. Reporting Status; Public Trading Market; DTC Eligibility. So long as the Buyer and/or Investments beneficially own any Securities, (i) the Company shall timely file, prior to or on the date when due, all reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Company had securities registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act; (ii) the Company shall not be operated as, or report, to the SEC or any other Person, that the Company is a “shell company” or indicate to the contrary to the SEC or any other Person; (iii) the Company shall take all other action under its control necessary to ensure the availability of Rule 144 under the 1933 Act for the sale of Shares by the Buyer at the earliest possible date; and (iv) the Company shall at all times while any Securities are outstanding maintain its engagement of an independent registered public accounting firm. Except as otherwise set forth in Transaction Documents, the Company shall take all action under its control necessary to obtain and to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock (including, without limitation, all Registrable Securities) on the Nasdaq Stock Market, OTC Markets, Inc., OTC Pink, OTCQB, OTCQX, NYSE, or any other exchange (the “Principal Market”) and will comply in all material respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the by-laws or rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). If, so long as the Buyer and/or Investments beneficially own any of the Securities, the Company receives any written notice from the Principal Market, FINRA, or the SEC with respect to either any alleged deficiency in the Company’s compliance with applicable rules and regulations (including without limitation any comments from the SEC on any of the Company’s documents filed (or the failure to have made any such filing) under the 1933 Act or the Exchange Act) (each, a “Regulatory Notice”), then the Company shall promptly, and in any event within two (2) business days, provide copies of the Regulatory Notice to the Buyer, and shall promptly, and in any event within ten (10) business days of receipt of the Regulatory Notice (a “Regulatory Response”), respond in writing to the Principal Market, FIRNA and/or SEC (as the case may be), setting forth the Company’s explanation and/or response to the issues raised in the Regulatory Notice, with a view towards maintaining and/or regaining full compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Principal Market, FIRNA and/or SEC and maintaining or regaining good standing of the Company with the Principal Market, FINRA and/or SEC, as the case may be, the intent being to ensure that the Company maintain its reporting company status with the SEC and that its Common Stock be and remain available for trading on the Principal Market.

f. Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds from the sale of the Debenture for working capital purposes only subject to customary restrictions. Absent the prior written approval of a majority of the principal amount of the Debenture then outstanding, the Company shall not use any portion of the proceeds of the sale of the Debenture to (i) repay any indebtedness or other obligation of the Company incurred prior to the date of this Agreement outside the normal course of business, (ii) pay any dividends or redemption amount on any of the Company’s equity or equity equivalents, (iii) pay any amounts, whether on account of debt obligations of the Company or otherwise, except for compensation, to any officer, director or other related party of the Company or (iv) pay deferred compensation or any compensation to any of the directors or officers of the Company in excess of the rate or amount paid or accrued during the fiscal year ended December, 2021 (as base compensation and excluding any discretionary amounts), other than modest increases consistent with prior practice that are approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

g. Available Shares. Commencing on the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company shall have and maintain authorized and reserved for issuance, free from preemptive rights, that number of shares equal to Two Hundred percent (200%) of the number of shares of Common Stock (1) issuable based upon the conversion of the then-outstanding Debenture (including accrued interest thereon) as may be required to satisfy the conversion rights of the Buyer pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Debenture (for the avoidance of doubt, this shall be calculated based on the Conversion Price (as defined in the Debenture) (without giving effect to the 4.99% limitation on ownership as set forth in the Debenture) and (2) issuable upon full exercise of the Warrant (without giving effect to the 4.99% limitation on ownership as set forth in the Warrant) (collectively in the aggregate the “Required Reserve Amount”). The Company shall monitor its compliance with the foregoing requirements on an ongoing basis. If at any time the Company does not have available an amount of authorized and non-issued Shares required to be reserved pursuant to this Section, then the Company shall, without notice or demand by the Buyer, call within thirty (30) days of such occurrence and hold within sixty (60) days of such occurrence a special meeting of shareholders, for the sole purpose of increasing the number of shares authorized. Management of the Company shall recommend to shareholders to vote in favor of increasing the number of Common Stock authorized at the meeting. Members of the Company’s management shall also vote all of their own shares in favor of increasing the number of Common Stock authorized at the meeting. If the increase in authorized shares is approved by the stockholders at the meeting, the Company shall implement the increase in authorized shares within four (4) business days following approval at such meeting. Alternatively, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in lieu of calling and holding a meeting as described above, the Company may, within thirty (30) days of the date when the Company does not have available an amount of authorized and non-issued Shares required to be reserved as described above, procure the written consent of stockholders to increase the number of shares authorized, and provide the stockholders with notice thereof as may be required under applicable law (including without limitation Section 14(c) of the Exchange Act and Regulation 14C thereunder). Upon obtaining stockholder approval as aforesaid and after the requisite waiting period of any Schedule 14C Information Statement, the Company shall cause the appropriate increase in its authorized shares of Common Stock within four (4) business days (or as soon thereafter as permitted by applicable law). Company’s failure to comply with these provisions will be an Event of Default (as defined in the Debenture).

h. Reimbursement. If (i) Buyer and/or Investments becomes a party defendant in any capacity in any action or proceeding brought by any stockholder of the Company other than by reason of its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of law (as adjudicated by a court of law having proper jurisdiction and such adjudication is not subject to appeal), in connection with or as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or if the Buyer and/or Investments is impleaded in any such action, proceeding or investigation by any Person, or (ii) the Buyer and/or Investments, other than by reason of its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of law (as adjudicated by a court of law having proper jurisdiction and such adjudication is not subject to appeal), becomes a party defendant in any capacity in any action or proceeding brought by the SEC against or involving the Company or in connection with or as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or if the Buyer or Investments is impleaded in any such action, proceeding or investigation by any Person, then in any such case, the Company shall promptly reimburse the Buyer and/or Investments for its or their reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation and preparation) incurred in connection therewith. The reimbursement obligations of the Company under this paragraph shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to any affiliates of the Buyer and/or Investments who are actually named in such action, proceeding or investigation, and partners, directors, agents, employees and controlling Persons (if any), as the case may be, of the Buyer, Investments and any such Affiliate, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Company, the Buyer, Investments and any such Affiliate and any such Person. Except as otherwise set forth in the Transaction Documents, the Company also agrees that neither any Buyer, Investments nor any such Affiliate, partners, directors, agents, employees or controlling Persons shall have any liability to the Company or any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the Company in connection with or as a result of the consummation of the Transaction Documents.

i. The Company shall provide the Transfer Agent and/or the Buyer, Investments or their respective brokerage and/or clearing firm with all relevant legal opinions and other documentation requested by the Buyer or Investments in connection with the issuance of the Shares or the Restricted Stock, or the sale thereof, to confirm the share issuance(s) such that the Shares and/or Restricted Stock may be deposited with the applicable brokerage and/or clearing firm.

j. No Payments to Affiliates or Related Parties. So long as any of the Debenture remains outstanding, the Company shall not, absent the prior written consent of the holder of the Debenture, make any payments to any of the Company’s or the Subsidiaries’ respective affiliates or related parties, including without limitation payments or prepayments of principal or interest accrued on any indebtedness or obligation in favor of affiliates or related parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this Section 4(j) shall not apply to payments to the Subsidiaries, or other businesses in which affiliates have an interest, made in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice as disclosed in the SEC Documents.

k. Notice of Material Adverse Effect. The Company shall notify the Buyer (and any subsequent holder of the Debenture), as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) business days of the Company’s knowledge of any Material Adverse Effect on the Company. For purposes of the foregoing, “knowledge” means the earlier of the Company’s actual knowledge or the Company’s constructive knowledge upon due inquiry.

l. Public Disclosure. Except to the extent required by applicable law and except for the filing of the Transaction Documents as exhibits to a Current Report on Form 8-K or any registration statements registering the Securities, absent the Buyer’s prior written consent, the Company shall not reference the name of the Buyer in any press release, securities disclosure, business plan, marketing or funding proposal.

m. Nature of Transaction; Savings Clause. It is the parties’ express understanding and agreement that the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents constitute an investment and not a loan. If nonetheless such transactions are deemed to be a loan (as adjudicated by a court of law having proper jurisdiction and such adjudication is not subject to appeal), the Company shall not be obligated or required to pay interest at a rate that could subject Buyer to either civil or criminal liability as a result of such rate exceeding the maximum rate that the Buyer is permitted to charge under applicable law, and the Company’s obligations under the Transaction Documents shall not be void or voidable on the basis of the Buyer’s lack of any license or registration as a lender with any governmental authority. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties that neither the amounts payable pursuant to Section 12, any redemption premium, remedy upon an Event of Default (as defined in the Debenture) or any Acceleration Amount (as defined in the Debenture), original issue discount nor any investment returns of the Buyer on the sale of the Debenture, Warrant, or the sale of any Shares (whether unrealized or realized) shall be construed as interest. If, by the terms of the Debenture, any other Transaction Document or any other instrument, Buyer is at any time required or obligated to pay interest at a rate exceeding such maximum rate, interest payable under the Debenture and/or such other Transaction Documents or other instrument shall be computed (or recomputed) at such maximum rate, and the portion of all prior interest payments (if any) exceeding such maximum shall be applied to payment of the outstanding principal of the Debenture.

n. Trading Activities. Neither the Buyer nor its affiliates has an open short position in the Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company.

o. No Integration. The Company shall not make any offers or sales of any security (other than the Securities) under circumstances that would require registration of the Securities being offered or sold hereunder under the Securities Act or cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with any other offering of securities by the Company for the purpose of any stockholder approval provision applicable to the Company or its securities.

p. Corporate Existence. The Company will, so long as the Buyer beneficially owns any of the Securities, maintain its corporate existence and shall not sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

q. Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the (i) Company makes a payment or payments to the Buyer hereunder, pursuant to this Agreement, the Debenture, or any other agreement, certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, or (ii) the Buyer enforces or exercises its rights hereunder, pursuant to this Agreement, the Debenture, or any other agreement, certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof (including but not limited to the sale of the Securities) are for any reason (i) subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, or disgorged by the Buyer, or (ii) are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver, government entity, or any other person or entity under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then (i) 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 and (ii) the Company shall immediately pay to the Buyer a dollar amount equal to the amount that was for any reason (i) subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, or disgorged by the Buyer, or (ii) required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver, government entity, or any other person or entity under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action).

r. Shareholder Approval. “Shareholder Approval” means: the approval of the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting Common Stock, to effectuate the transactions contemplated by the equity purchase agreement entered into on or around the date of this Agreement between the Company and the Holder, this Agreement, the issuance of all of the Shares (including the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares), and issuance of the Commitment Shares in excess of 19.99% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock on the Closing Date (the “Exchange Cap”, which is equal to 2,760,675 shares of Common Stock, subject to appropriate adjustment for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, rights offerings, reclassification or similar transaction that proportionately decreases or increases the Common Stock). The Company shall hold a special meeting of shareholders within one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days after the date of this Agreement for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder Approval, with the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors that such proposal be approved, and the Company shall solicit proxies from its shareholders in connection therewith in the same manner as all other management proposals in such proxy statement and all management-appointed proxyholders shall vote their proxies in favor of such proposal. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain such Shareholder Approval. If the Company does not obtain Shareholder Approval at the first meeting, the Company shall call a meeting as often as possible thereafter to seek Shareholder Approval until the Shareholder Approval is obtained. Until such approval is obtained, the number of shares of Common Stock issued in the aggregate, pursuant to this Agreement, upon conversion of the Debenture, and exercise of the Warrant shall be limited to the Exchange Cap.

s. No Broker-Dealer Acknowledgement. Absent a final adjudication from a court of competent jurisdiction stating otherwise, the Company shall not to any person, institution, governmental or other entity, state, claim, allege, or in any way assert, that Buyer is currently, or ever has been, a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

5. TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.

a. Transfer Agent Instruction Letter. On or before the Closing Date, the Company shall irrevocably instruct its Transfer Agent in writing using the letter substantially in the form of Exhibit B annexed hereto, with only such modifications as the Buyer agrees to, executed by the Company, the Buyer and the Transfer Agent (the “Transfer Agent Instruction Letter”), to (i) reserve that number of shares of Common Stock as is required under Section 4(g) hereof, and (ii) issue Common Stock from time to time upon conversion of the Debenture in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Buyer to the Transfer Agent in a Notice of Conversion, in such denominations to be specified by the Buyer in connection with each conversion of the Debenture. The Transfer Agent shall not be restricted from issuing shares from only the allotment reserved hereunder for the Conversion Amount (as defined in the Debenture), but instead may, to the extent necessary to satisfy the amount of shares issuable upon conversion, issue shares above and beyond the amount reserved on account of the Conversion Amount, without any additional instructions or authorization from the Company, and the Company shall not provide the Transfer Agent with any instructions or documentation contrary to the foregoing. As of the date of this Agreement, the Transfer Agent is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company. The Company shall at all times while any Debenture is outstanding engage a Transfer Agent which is a party to the Transfer Agent Instruction Letter. If for any reason the Company’s Transfer Agent is not a signatory of the Transfer Agent Instruction Letter while any Debenture, Warrant, or Restricted Stock are outstanding and held by the Buyer and/or Investments, then such Transfer Agent shall nonetheless be deemed bound by the Transfer Agent Instruction Letter, and the Company shall neither (i) permit the Transfer Agent to disclaim, disregard or refuse to abide by the Transfer Agent’s obligations, terms and agreements set forth in the Transfer Agent Instruction Letter, nor (ii) issue any instructions to the Transfer Agent contrary to the obligations, terms and agreements set forth in the Transfer Agent Instruction Letter . The Company shall not terminate the Transfer Agent or otherwise change Transfer Agents without at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the Buyer and with the Buyer’s prior written consent to such change, which the Buyer may grant or withhold in its sole discretion. The Company shall continuously monitor its compliance with the share reservation requirements and, if and to the extent necessary to increase the number of reserved shares to remain and be at least the Required Reserve Amount to account for any decrease in the Market Price of the Common Stock, the Company shall immediately (and in any event within one (1) business day) notify the Transfer Agent in writing of the reservation of such additional shares, provided that in the event that the number of shares reserved for conversion of the Debenture is less than the Required Reserve Amount, the Buyer may also directly instruct the Transfer Agent to increase the reserved shares as necessary to satisfy the minimum reserved share requirement, and the Transfer Agent shall act accordingly, provided, further, that the Company shall within one (1) business day provide any written confirmation, assent or documentation thereof as the Transfer Agent may request to act upon a share increase instruction delivered by the Buyer. The Company shall provide the Buyer with a copy of all written instructions to the Company’s Transfer Agent with respect to the reservation of shares simultaneously with the issuance of such instructions to the Transfer Agent. The Company covenants that no instruction other than such instructions referred to in this Section 5 and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 4(a) hereof prior to registration and sale of the Shares under the 1933 Act will be given by the Company to the Transfer Agent and that the Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and applicable law. If the Buyer provides the Company and/or the Transfer Agent with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that registration of a resale by the Buyer of any of the Securities in accordance with clause (1)(B) of Section 4(a) of this Agreement is not required under the 1933 Act, the Company shall (except as provided in clause (2) of Section 4(a) of this Agreement) permit the de-legending or transfer of the Securities and, in the case of the Shares, instruct the Company’s Transfer Agent to issue one or more certificates for Common Stock without legend in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Buyer.

b. Conversion. (i) The Company shall permit the Buyer to exercise the right to convert the Debenture by faxing, emailing or delivering overnight an executed and completed Notice of Conversion to the Company or the Transfer Agent. If so requested by the Buyer or the Transfer Agent, the Company shall within one (1) business day respond with its endorsement so as to confirm the outstanding principal amount of any Debenture submitted for conversion or shall reconcile any difference with the Buyer promptly after receiving such Notice of Conversion.

(ii) The term “Conversion Date” means, with respect to any conversion elected by the holder of the Debenture, the date specified in the Notice of Conversion, provided the copy of the Notice of Conversion is given either via mail or facsimile to or otherwise delivered to the Transfer Agent and/or the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof so that it is received by the Transfer Agent and/or the Company on or before 5pm (ET) on such specified date.

(iii) The Company shall deliver (or will cause the Transfer Agent to deliver) the Shares issuable upon conversion as follows: (1) if the Company is then DWAC Operational, via DWAC, (2) if the Common Stock is then eligible for the Depository Trust Company’s Direct Registration System (“DRS”), if so requested by the Buyer, or (3) if the Company is not then DWAC Operational or the Common Stock is not then eligible for DRS, in certificated form, to the Buyer at the address specified in the Notice of Conversion (which may be the Buyer’s address for notices as contemplated by Section 10 hereof or a different address) or Investments at the address specified in the Exercise Notice (as defined in the Warrant) (each an “Exercise Notice”), via express courier, in each case within two (2) business days (the “Delivery Date”) after the business day on which the Company or the Transfer Agent has received the Notice of Conversion or Exercise Notice (by facsimile, email or other delivery), provided that any notice received after 5pm (ET) shall be deemed to be received on the next business day.

c. Failure to Timely Issue Shares or De-Legended Shares. The Company’s failure to issue and deliver Shares to the Buyer (either by DWAC, DRS or in certificated form, as required by Section 5(b)) on or before the Delivery Date shall be considered an Event of Default, which shall entitle the Buyer to certain remedies set forth in the Debenture, Warrant, and provided by applicable law. Similarly, the Company’s failure to issue and deliver Common Stock in unrestricted form without a restrictive legend when required under the Transaction Documents shall entitle the Buyer to damages for the diminution in value (if any) of the relevant shares between the date delivery was due versus the date ultimately delivered in unrestricted form. The Company acknowledges that its failure to timely honor a Notice of Conversion (or the occurrence of any other Event of Default) and/or Exercise Notice shall cause definable financial hardship on the Buyer(s) and that the remedies set forth herein and in the Debenture is reasonable and appropriate.

d. Duties of Company; Authorization. The Company shall inform the Transfer Agent of the reservation of shares contemplated by Section 4(g) and this Section 5, and shall keep current in its payment obligations to the Transfer Agent such that the Transfer Agent will continue to process share transfers and the initial issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of Debenture. The Company hereby authorizes and agrees to authorize the Transfer Agent to correspond and otherwise communicate with the Buyer or their representatives in connection with the foregoing and other matters related to the Common Stock. Further, the Company hereby authorizes the Buyer or its representative to provide instructions to the Transfer Agent that are consistent with the foregoing and instructs the Transfer Agent to honor any such instructions. Should the Company fail for any reason to keep current in its payment obligations to the Transfer Agent, the Buyer and/or Investments may pay such amounts as are necessary to compensate the Transfer Agent for performing its duties with respect to share reservation, issuance of Shares and/or de-legending certificates representing Restricted Stock, and all amounts so paid shall be promptly reimbursed by the Company. If not so reimbursed within thirty (30) days, such amounts shall, at the option of the Buyer and without prior notice to or consent of the Company, be added to the principal amount due under the Debenture held by the Buyer, whereupon interest will begin to accrue on such amounts at the rate specified in the Debenture.

e. Effect of Bankruptcy. The Buyer shall be entitled to exercise its conversion privilege with respect to the Debenture notwithstanding the commencement of any case under 11 U.S.C. §101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”). In the event the Company is a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, the Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted, any rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. §362 in respect of the Buyer’s conversion privilege. The Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted, any rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. §362 in respect of the conversion of the Debenture. The Company agrees, without cost or expense to the Buyer, to take or to consent to any and all action necessary to effectuate relief under 11 U.S.C. §362.
