If the Company or its agents do not deliver conversion shares pursuant to such aforementioned conversion, the Investor may apply any remaining Pre-Delivery Shares to satisfy such obligations (on a share-for-share basis, against the Ordinary Shares not timely delivered in such aforementioned conversion), (ii) effect any Event of Default Redemption (solely with respect to the Existing Defaults and Additional Forborne Defaults) and (iii) effect any Installment Redemption or Installment Conversion of the Notes except with respect to each applicable New Installment Amount payable on each corresponding applicable New Installment Date.

In the event that the Company or its agents do not deliver applicable Conversion Shares pursuant to one or more conversions in accordance with Section 3 of the Series A Note, the Investor may apply any remaining Pre-Delivery Shares to satisfy such obligations (on a share-for-share basis, against the Ordinary Shares not timely delivered in such aforementioned conversion) (each such Pre-Delivery Share applied pursuant to this Section 1, each an “Applied Pre-Delivery Share”). Concurrently herewith, the Investor has executed and delivered the Lock-Up Agreement, the Leak-Out Agreement and the Mutual Release to the Company. In consideration for the Agreed Forbearances, effective as of the Effective Date, the Company has agreed to pay, and the Investor has agreed to accept in lieu of the Series A Redemption Price, both (A) the Initial Forbearance Fee, (B) each New Installment Amount on each corresponding New Installment Date and (C) the Ancillary Redemption Amount, if any, in accordance with such applicable Transaction Document, collectively, in satisfaction, in full, of the Series A Note.

As soon as commercially practicable after the date hereof, the Investor shall deliver the original certificate evidencing the Series B Note and Series B Warrant to the Company for cancellation (or a lost note affidavit or lost warrant affidavit, as applicable, with respect thereto, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company). The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that upon the Company’s payment in full of all outstanding Forbearance Redemption Amounts, the Investor shall, within two (2) business days after receiving full payment of the Forbearance Redemption Amounts (i) surrender the original Series A Note for cancellation (or a lost note affidavit with respect thereto, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company) and the Series A Note shall automatically be deemed cancelled and (ii) return the Pre-Delivery Shares (less any Applied Pre-Delivery Shares) to the Company for cancellation by directing the Investor’s broker to initiate a DWAC withdrawal of such Pre-Delivery Shares and delivering duly executed cancellation instructions in the form set forth in the Lock-Up Agreement along with the original certificates (if any) evidencing the Pre-Delivery Shares, original stock power with medallion guaranteed and corporate resolution approving such cancellation to the Company’s Transfer Agent, in each case. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company may prepay all or a portion of the Forbearance Redemption Amounts at any time. Notwithstanding anything in Section 8 of the Note to the contrary, the Company shall be deemed to have elected to effect an Installment Redemption (as defined in the Series A Note) for all New Installment Dates from and after the date hereof and hereby waives any right to effect an New Installment Conversion with respect thereto.
