(f) Amendment of Section 4.4 of the Existing Loan Agreement. Section 4.4 of the Existing Loan Agreement is hereby amended as of the Third Amendment Effective Date, by adding the following new Section 4.4(f) immediately at the end thereof following Section 4.4(e):

(f) Beneficial Ownership Blocker. The Company shall not effect any conversion of the Tranche C Term Loan of any Tranche C Lender, and a Tranche C Lender shall not have the right to convert any portion of its Tranche C Term Loan, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Tranche C Lender (together with the Tranche C Lender’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with the Tranche C Lender or any of the Tranche C Lender’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a Tranche C Lender and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the portion of such Tranche C Lender’s Tranche C Term Loan with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of such Tranche C Lender’s Tranche C Term Loan beneficially owned by the Tranche C Lender or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Tranche C Lender or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4.4(f), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4.4(f) applies, the determination of whether the Tranche C Term Lender’s Tranche C Term Loan is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Tranche C Lender together with any Affiliates) and of which principal amount of such Tranche C Lender’s Tranche C Term Loan is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such Tranche C Lender, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Tranche C Lender’s determination of whether its Tranche C Term Loan may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by the Tranche C Lender together with any Affiliates) and which principal amount of such Tranche C Lender’s Tranche C Term Loan is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, the Tranche C Term Lender will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion, that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this Section 4.4(f) and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 4.4(f), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Tranche C Lender may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the SEC, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Tranche C Lender, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Tranche C Lender, the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Tranche C Lender’s Tranche C Term Loan, by the Tranche C Lender or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Tranche C Term Loan by the Tranche C Lender. Each Tranche C Lender, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4.4(f) to 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of such Tranche C Lender’s Tranche C Term Loan. In all events, the provisions of this Section 4.4(f) shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. Each Tranche C Lender may also decrease esethe Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4.4(e) solely with respect to such Tranche C Lender’s Tranche C Term Loan at any time, which decrease shall be effective immediately upon delivery of notice to the Company. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4.4(f) shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(f) to correct any portion which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this Section 4.4(f) shall apply to a successor Tranche C Lender.

(g) Amendment of Section 4.6 of the Existing Loan Agreement. Section 4.6 of the Existing Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as of the Third Amendment Effective Date, to read in full as follows:

4.6 Unregistered Shares/Registration Rights.

(a) The AGENT AND THE Lenders acknowledge and agree that the shareS of Common Stock into which the Accreted Principal Amount of each such Lender’s Term Loan are convertible hereunder, HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR APPLICABLE STATE OR OTHER SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF EITHER AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLEY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION ARE NOT REQUIRED UNDER APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

(b) On or before February 5, 2021, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. Such Registration Statement filed hereunder shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate form in accordance herewith); provided, however, that no holder shall be required to be named as an “underwriter” without such holder’s express prior written consent. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause a Registration Statement filed under this Agreement (including, without limitation, under Section 4.6(c)) to be declared effective by the Commission under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, and shall use its best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date that all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement that are issued or issuable upon the conversion of the Tranche C Term Loan (i) have been sold, thereunder or pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144, as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Transfer Agent and the affected holders (the “Effectiveness Period”). The Company shall telephonically request effectiveness of a Registration Statement as of 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a trading day. The Company shall promptly notify the holders via facsimile or by e-mail of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement within one trading day after the trading day that the Company telephonically confirms effectiveness with the Commission, which shall be the date requested for effectiveness of such Registration Statement. The Company shall, by 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the trading day after the effective date of such Registration Statement, file a final Prospectus with the Commission as required by Rule 424.

6

(c) Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in Section 4.6(b), if the Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Company agrees to promptly inform each of the holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Registration Statement as required by the Commission, covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the Commission, on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment, the Company shall be obligated to use diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the SEC Guidance, including without limitation, Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Commission or any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater portion of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced as follows:

i. first, the Company shall reduce or eliminate any securities to be included other than Registrable Securities arising from or relating to the conversion of the Tranche C Term Loan; and

ii. second, the Company shall reduce Registrable Securities represented by shares of Common Stock to the holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Shares held by such holders.

In the event of a cutback hereunder, the Company shall give each holder at least five (5) trading days prior written notice along with the calculations as to such holder’s allotment. In the event the Company amends the initial Registration Statement in accordance with the foregoing, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the initial Registration Statement as amended.

(e) If Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the Commission.

7

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Company be permitted to name any holder or affiliate of a holder as any Underwriter without the prior written consent of such holder.

(g) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 4.6 with respect to the Registrable Securities of the Lenders that the Lenders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding each of them, the Registrable Securities held by each of them, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as is reasonably required to effect the registration of the Lenders’ Registrable Securities.

(h) All expenses (other than underwriting discounts, selling commissions, and stock transfer taxes applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities, and fees and disbursements of counsel for any Lender (collectively, “Selling Expenses”)) incurred in connection with registrations, filings, or qualifications pursuant to Section 4.6, including all registration, filing, and qualification fees; printers’ and accounting fees; fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be borne and paid by the Company.

(i) The Lenders shall not have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 4.6.

(j) If any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 4.6:

(i) To the extent permitted by law, each of the Lenders (severally and not jointly or jointly and severally; referred to herein as an “Indemnifying Lender”)) will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each Person (if any), who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, legal counsel and accountants for the Company, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act), and any controlling Person of any such underwriter, against any Damages (defined below), in each case only to the extent that such Damages arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of any such Indemnifying Lender expressly for use in connection with such registration; and such Indemnifying Lender will pay to the Company and each other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Subsection 4.6(g) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Indemnifying Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. For purposes of this Section 4.6, “Damages” means any loss, damage, claim or liability (joint or several) to which a party hereto may become subject under the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act, or other federal or state law, insofar as such loss, damage, claim or liability (or any action in respect thereof) arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement of the Company, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto; (ii) an omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the indemnifying party (or any of its agents or affiliates) of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any state securities law.

8

(ii) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Subsection 4.6(g) of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) for which a party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Subsection 4.6(g), give the indemnifying party notice of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in such action and to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such action.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.

(k) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 4.6 to the contrary, in no event shall the Company be obligated to take any action pursuant to Section 4.6(b), (c), (d) or (e) hereof if such action could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the rights of the purchasers under that certain Registration Rights Agreement dated as of December 14, 2020 between the Company and the persons identified therein as Purchasers.
