WHEREAS, certain proceeds of the sale of the Notes shall be held in escrow, pending closing of the purchase and sale of the Notes, pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement among the Company, the Placement Agent (as defined below) and the Escrow Agent (as defined below) (the “Escrow Agreement”);

The Bridge Warrants shall be substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B to this Agreement.

2. BUYER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

Each Buyer, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to, and agrees with the Company, as of the applicable Closing, as to such Buyer, that:

(a) Investment Purpose. The Buyer is acquiring the Notes, and, upon conversion (if any) of the Notes, the Buyer will acquire the Conversion Securities and Bridge Warrants, and upon exercise of the Bridge Warrants, the Buyer will acquire the shares of Pubco Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Bridge Warrants (the “Warrant Shares” and, together with the Notes, the Conversion Securities and the Bridge Warrants, to the extent applicable, the “Securities”), in each case, for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Buyer reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to an effective registration statement covering such Securities, or an available exemption under the Securities Act. The Buyer agrees not to sell, hypothecate or otherwise transfer the Securities unless such Securities are registered under the federal and applicable state securities laws or unless, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, an exemption from such law is available. By executing this Agreement, the Buyer further represents that the Buyer does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Securities.

(b) Residence of Buyer. The Buyer resides in the jurisdiction set forth on such Xxxxx’s Buyer Omnibus Signature Page affixed hereto.

(c) Accredited Investor Status. The Buyer is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D as promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act, for the reason(s) specified on the Accredited Investor Certification attached hereto as completed by the Buyer, and the Buyer shall submit to the Company such further assurances of such status as may be reasonably requested by the Company.

(d) Investor Qualifications. The Buyer (i) if a natural person, represents that he or she is the greater of (A) 21 years of age or (B) the age of legal majority in his or her jurisdiction of residence, and has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and all other related agreements or certificates and to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof; (ii) if a corporation, partnership, or limited liability company or partnership, or association, joint stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or other entity, represents that such entity was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities, such entity is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby is authorized by, and will not result in a violation of state law or its charter or other organizational documents, such entity has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and all other related agreements or certificates and to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof and to purchase and hold the Securities, the execution and delivery of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action, this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of such entity and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such entity; or (iii) if executing this Agreement in a representative or fiduciary capacity, represents that it has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement in such capacity and on behalf of the subscribing individual, xxxx, partnership, trust, estate, corporation, or limited liability company or partnership, or other entity for whom the Buyer is executing this Agreement, and such individual, partnership, xxxx, trust, estate, corporation, or limited liability company or partnership, or other entity has full right and power to perform pursuant to this Agreement and make an investment in the Company, and represents that this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such entity. The execution and delivery of this Agreement will not violate or be in conflict with any order, judgment, injunction, agreement or controlling document to which the Buyer is a party or by which it is bound.

(e) Buyer Relationship with Brokers. The Buyer’s substantive relationship with any broker, including the Placement Agent and the Introducing Broker, for the transactions contemplated hereby or sub-agent thereof (collectively, “Brokers”), through which the Buyer is subscribing for the Notes predates such Broker’s contact with the Buyer regarding an investment in the Notes.

(f) Solicitation. The Buyer is unaware of, is in no way relying on, and did not become aware of the offering of the Notes through or as a result of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising including, without limitation, any article, notice, advertisement or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, in connection with the offering and sale of the Notes and is not subscribing for the Notes and did not become aware of the offering of the Notes through or as a result of any seminar or meeting to which the Buyer was invited by, or any solicitation of a subscription by, a Person not previously known to the Buyer in connection with investments in securities generally. (“Person” means an individual, a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, trust, unincorporated organization, or other legal entity or organization, or any government or governmental agency.)

(g) Brokerage Fees. The Buyer has taken no action that would give rise to any claim by any Person for brokerage commissions, finders’ fees or the like relating to this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereby (other than fees to be paid by the Company to the Placement Agent and the Introducing Broker as described herein).

(h) Buyer’s Advisors. The Buyer and/or the Buyer’s attorney, accountant, purchaser representative and/or tax advisor, if any (collectively, the “Advisors”), as the case may be, has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax, and business matters, and, in particular, investments in securities, so as to enable it to utilize the information made available to it in connection with the Securities to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities and the Company and to make an informed investment decision with respect thereto.

(i) Buyer Liquidity. The Buyer has adequate means of providing for such Buyer’s current financial needs and foreseeable contingencies and has no need for liquidity of its investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time, and after purchasing the Notes the Buyer will be able to provide for any foreseeable current needs and possible personal contingencies. The Buyer must bear and acknowledges the substantial economic risks of the investment in the Securities including the risk of illiquidity and the risk of a complete loss of this investment.

(j) High Risk Investment. The Buyer is aware that an investment in the Notes, and upon conversion of the Notes, the Conversion Securities and Bridge Warrants, and upon exercise of the Bridge Warrants, the Warrant Shares involves a number of very significant risks and has carefully researched and reviewed and understands the risks of, and other considerations relating to, the purchase of the Notes, and upon conversion of the Notes, the Conversion Securities and Bridge Warrants, and upon exercise of the Bridge Warrants, the Warrant Shares. Buyer acknowledges that, among other things, while the Company and its Subsidiaries (as defined below) shall have entered into the Security Agreement (as defined below) with the Buyers, pursuant to which the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have granted and conveyed to the Buyers a security interest in the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the terms described therein, as security for the full and timely repayment of the Notes, which Security Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, neither the Company nor any Broker has, and none of them intends to (A) review, research or obtain any report or opinion on the title of the Company and its Subsidiaries to any of their respective assets, or (B) take any action to perfect any security interest in any assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries in any jurisdiction, except that the Company will cause a Form UCC-1 financing statement naming the Company and each Subsidiary as debtors and the Buyers as secured parties to be filed in the appropriate office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Buyer further understands that, therefore, notwithstanding anything in the Transaction Documents, the security interest granted in the Security Agreement may not be perfected with respect to any specific assets and/or may not have the priority specified in the Security Agreement.

(k) Reliance on Exemptions. The Buyer understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Buyer’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Buyer to acquire such securities. The Buyer further acknowledges and understands that the Company is relying on the representations and warranties made by the Buyer hereunder and that such representations and warranties are a material inducement to the Company to sell the Securities to the Buyer. The Buyer further acknowledges that without such representations and warranties of the Buyer made hereunder, the Company would not enter into this Agreement with the Buyer.

(l) Information. The Buyer and its Advisors have been furnished with all documents and materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries and information that Buyer or its Advisors requested and deemed material to making an informed investment decision regarding its purchase of the Notes. The Buyer and its Advisors have been afforded the opportunity to review such documents and materials and the information contained therein. The Buyer and its Advisors have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and its management. The Buyer understands that such discussions, as well as any written information provided by the Company, were intended to describe the aspects of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ business and prospects which the Company believes to be material, but were not necessarily a thorough or exhaustive description, and except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Company makes no representation or warranty with respect to such information or the completeness thereof and makes no representation or warranty of any kind with respect to any information provided by any entity other than the Company. Some of such information may include projections as to the future performance of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which projections may not be realized, may be based on assumptions which may not be correct and may be subject to numerous factors beyond the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ control. Additionally, the Buyer understands and represents that he, she or it is purchasing the Notes notwithstanding the fact that the Company and its Subsidiaries may disclose in the future certain material information the Buyer has not received, including the financial results of the Company and its Subsidiaries for their current fiscal quarters. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Buyer or its Advisors shall modify, amend or affect such Buyer’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in Section 3 of this Agreement. Each Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Notes.

(m) No Other Representations or Information. In evaluating the suitability of an investment in the Securities, the Buyer has not relied upon any representation or information (oral or written) with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries, or otherwise, other than as stated in this Agreement. No oral or written representations have been made, or oral or written information furnished, to the Buyer or its Advisors, if any, in connection with the offering of the Securities.

(n) No Governmental Review. The Buyer understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Notes (or the Conversion Securities, Bridge Warrants or Warrant Shares), or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Notes (or the Conversion Securities or the Warrant Shares), nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Notes (or the Conversion Securities, Bridge Warrants or Warrant Shares).

(o) Transfer or Resale. The Buyer understands that: (i) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, or (B) such Buyer shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such Securities to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements; (ii) any sale of such Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or a successor rule thereto) (“Rule 144”) may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of such Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) the Company is not and no other Person, other than Pubco upon consummation of the Merger and the first closing of the PIPE as specifically provided in the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below), is under any obligation to register such Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. The Buyer understands and agrees that Xxxxx has the right to place stop transfer instructions against the shares and certificates for the Conversion Securities and the Warrant Shares to the extent specifically set forth under this Agreement. There can be no assurance that there will be any market or resale for the Notes (or the Conversion Securities or the Warrant Shares), nor can there be any assurance that the Notes (or the Conversion Securities, Bridge Warrants or the Warrant Shares) will be freely transferable at any time in the foreseeable future.

(p) Legends. Each Buyer understands that the certificates or other instruments representing the Notes (and the Conversion Securities, Bridge Warrants and Warrant Shares) shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):

(i) THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”). THESE SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY (A) TO THE COMPANY, (B) IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IF AVAILABLE, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, (C) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT, OR (D) IN A TRANSACTION THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND THE HOLDER HAS, PRIOR TO SUCH SALE, FURNISHED TO THE COMPANY AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE OF EXEMPTION, IN EITHER CASE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY. HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT.

(ii) Any legend required by the securities laws of any state to the extent such laws are applicable to the Securities or any securities issued in respect thereof or exchange therefor.

(q) Authorization, Enforcement. The Buyer has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents (as defined below) to which such Buyer is a party, and to purchase the Notes being sold to it hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents by such Buyer and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or partnership action, and no further consent or authorization of such Buyer or its Board of Directors, stockholders, partners, members, as the case may be, is required. This Agreement and the Transaction Documents (to the extent the Buyer is a party thereto) have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Buyer and upon execution of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents by the other parties hereto and thereto, constitute, or shall constitute when executed and delivered, a valid and binding obligation of such Buyer enforceable against such Buyer in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.

(r) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the consummation by such Buyer of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or relating hereto do not and will not (i) if the Buyer is not an individual, result in a violation of such Buyer’s charter documents or bylaws or other organizational documents or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of any agreement, indenture or instrument or obligation to which such Buyer is a party or by which its properties or assets are bound, or result in a violation of any law, rule, or regulation, or any order, judgment or decree of any court or governmental agency applicable to such Buyer or its properties (except for such conflicts, defaults and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on such Buyer). Such Buyer is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party or to purchase the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, provided that for purposes of the representation made in this sentence, such Buyer is assuming and relying upon the accuracy of the relevant representations and agreements of the Company herein.

(s) Receipt of Documents. Each Buyer, its counsel and/or its Advisors have received and read in their entirety (i) this Agreement and each representation, warranty and covenant set forth herein, and (ii) all due diligence and other information, if any, provided by the Company to verify the accuracy and completeness of such representations, warranties of the Company; each Buyer has received answers to any questions such Buyer submitted to the Company regarding an investment in the Company to such Buyer’s satisfaction; and each Buyer has relied on the information contained therein and has not been furnished any other documents, literature, memorandum or prospectus.

(t) Pubco. Each Buyer acknowledges and agrees that no consent of Xxxxx to the identity of Pubco will be required, provided that in connection with the Merger, the Company obtains representations and warranties from Pubco substantially to the effect that, at the time of the Merger,

(i) Pubco is a corporation incorporated and in good standing in a state of the United States;

(ii) Pubco has complied with all applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations, including being current in all of its reporting obligations under federal securities laws and regulations; and all prior issuances of securities have been either registered under the Securities Act, or exempt from registration;

(iii) Pubco is not in violation or breach of, conflict with, in default under (with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice or both) any provisions of (a) Pubco incorporation documents or (b) any mortgage, indenture, lease, license or any other agreement or instrument;

(iv) no order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement of Pubco under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act has been issued by the SEC and, to Pubco’s knowledge, no proceedings for that purpose have been initiated or threatened by the SEC;

(v) Pubco is not and has not, and the past and present officers, directors and affiliates of Pubco are not and have not, been the subject of, nor does any officer or director of Pubco have any reason to believe that Pubco or any of its officers, directors or affiliates will be the subject of, any civil or criminal proceeding or investigation by any federal or state agency alleging a violation of securities laws;

(vi) Pubco is not and has not been the subject of any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding, nor is it or has it been a party to any material litigation or, within the past two years, the subject of any threat of material litigation (litigation shall be deemed “material” if the amount at issue exceeds the lesser of US$10,000 per matter or US$25,000 in the aggregate);

(vii) after giving effect to the Merger, Pubco will not have any direct (unconsolidated) liabilities, contingent or otherwise, including but not limited to notes payable and accounts payable; and

(viii) the issued and outstanding share capital of Pubco, immediately prior to Merger, has been duly authorized and is validly issued, are fully paid, non-assessable, and has been issued in accordance with all applicable laws, including, but not limited to, the Securities Act.

(u) Shell Company Status. Each Buyer understands that prior to the Merger, Pubco will be a “shell company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, and that upon the filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K reporting the consummation of the Merger and the Transactions and otherwise containing Form 10 information discussed below, Pubco will cease to be a shell company. Pursuant to Rule 144(i), securities issued by a current or former shell company (such as the Securities) that otherwise meet the holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 nevertheless cannot be sold in reliance on Rule 144 until one year after post-Merger Pubco (a) is no longer a shell company; and (b) has filed current “Form 10 information” (as defined in Rule 144(i)) with the SEC reflecting that it is no longer a shell company, and provided that at the time of a proposed sale pursuant to Rule 144, post-Merger Pubco is subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports. As a result, the restrictive legends on certificates for the securities cannot be removed except in connection with an actual sale meeting the foregoing requirements or pursuant to an effective registration statement.

(v) Confidentiality. Each Buyer acknowledges and agrees that all of the information received by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transactions is of a confidential nature and may be regarded as material non-public information under Regulation FD promulgated by the SEC and that such information has been furnished to the Buyer for the sole purpose of enabling the Buyer to consider and evaluate an investment in the Securities. The Buyer agrees that it will treat such information in a confidential manner, will not use such information for any purpose other than evaluating an investment in the Securities, will not, directly or indirectly, trade or permit the Buyer’s agents, representatives or affiliates to trade in any securities of the Company or Pubco (from the moment such Buyer has learned the identity of Pubco) while in possession of such information and will not, directly or indirectly, disclose or permit the Buyer’s agents, representatives or affiliates to disclose any of such information without the Company’s prior written consent. The Buyer shall make its agents, affiliates and representatives aware of the confidential nature of the information contained herein and the terms of this section including the Buyer’s agreement to not disclose such information, to not trade in the Company’s or Pubco’s (from the moment such Xxxxx has learned the identity of Pubco) securities while in the possession of such information and to be responsible for any disclosure or other improper use of such information by such agents, affiliates or representatives. Likewise, without the Company’s prior written consent, the Buyer will not, directly or indirectly, make any statements, public announcements or other release or provision of information in any form to any trade publication, to the press or to any other Person or entity whose primary business is or includes the publication or dissemination of information related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(w) No Legal Advice from the Company. Each Buyer acknowledges that it had the opportunity to review this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with its own Advisors. Each Buyer is relying solely on such Advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its employees, representatives or agents for legal, tax, economic and related considerations or investment advice with respect to this investment, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the securities laws of any jurisdiction.

The Buyer further represents and warrants that it will notify and supply corrective information to the Company immediately upon the occurrence of any change therein occurring prior to the Company’s issuance of the Notes.

The fiduciary of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) plan (the “Plan”) represents that such fiduciary has been informed of and understands the Company’s investment objectives, policies and strategies, and that the decision to invest “plan assets” (as such term is defined in ERISA) in the Company is consistent with the provisions of ERISA that require diversification of plan assets and impose other fiduciary responsibilities.

U.S. federal regulations and Executive Orders administered by OFAC prohibit, among other things, the engagement in transactions with, and the provision of services to, certain foreign countries, territories, entities and individuals. The lists of OFAC prohibited countries, territories, Persons and entities can be found on the OFAC website at xxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxx/xxxx.

Please be advised that the Company may not accept any amounts from a prospective investor if such prospective investor cannot make the representation set forth in the preceding paragraph. The Buyer agrees to promptly notify the Company should the Buyer become aware of any change in the information set forth in these representations. The Buyer understands and acknowledges that, by law, the Company may be obligated to “freeze the account” of the Buyer, either by prohibiting additional subscriptions from the Buyer, declining any redemption requests and/or segregating the assets in the account in compliance with governmental regulations, and a Broker may also be required to report such action and to disclose the Buyer’s identity to OFAC. The Buyer further acknowledges that the Company may, by written notice to the Buyer, suspend the redemption rights, if any, of the Buyer if the Company reasonably deems it necessary to do so to comply with anti-money laundering regulations applicable to the Company or any Broker or any of the Company’s other service providers.

All consents, authorizations, orders, filings and registrations which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is required to obtain pursuant to the preceding two sentences have been obtained or effected on or prior to the date hereof. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(e), the Company is unaware of any facts or circumstance, which might give rise to any of the foregoing.

From the date hereof until a period of two (2) years from the final Closing of the Notes, the Company and, following the Merger, Pubco shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or Pubco or any of their Subsidiaries of Company Common Stock or Pubco Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents for cash consideration (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Common Stock Equivalents” means any securities of the Company or Pubco or any of their Subsidiaries that would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Company Common Stock or Pubco Common Stock, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Company Common Stock or Pubco Common Stock. “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company and, following the Merger, Pubco (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive, additional shares of Company Common Stock or Pubco Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon, and/or varies with, the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Company Common Stock or Pubco Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Company Common Stock or Pubco Common Stock or (ii) issues or sells any amortizing convertible security that amortizes prior to its maturity date, whereby it is required to or has the option to (or the investor in such security has the option to require the Company to) make such amortization payments in shares of Company Common Stock or Pubco Common Stock (whether or not such payments in stock are subject to certain equity conditions) or (iii) enters into any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby it may sell securities at a future determined price. Any Buyer shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4(f) shall not apply to any Exempt Issuance. “Exempt Issuance” means the issuance of (a) shares of Common Stock, restricted stock units or options, and the underlying shares of Common Stock to consultants, employees, officers or directors of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted for such purpose, by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose for services rendered to the Company, (b) securities issued upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities issued hereunder and/or other securities issuable pursuant to existing agreements, exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement and disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule, provided that such securities have not been amended since the date of this Agreement to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of such securities (other than in connection with stock dividends, stock splits or combinations) or to extend the term of such securities, (c) securities issued pursuant, acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of the directors of the Company, provided that any such issuance shall only be to a Person (or to the equity holders of a Person) which is, itself or through its Subsidiaries, an operating company or an owner of an asset in a business synergistic with the business of the Company and which shall reasonably be expected to provide to the Company additional benefits, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities, (d) securities issued pursuant to any purchase money equipment loan or capital leasing arrangement, purchasing agent or debt financing from a commercial bank or similar financial institution, (e) securities issued pursuant to any presently outstanding warrants disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule or this Agreement, and (f) securities upon a stock split, stock dividend or subdivision of the Common Stock and shares of common stock in a public offering.

(g) Registration Rights. Upon the closing of the Merger and first closing of the PIPE, the Company shall cause Pubco to grant to each Buyer, pursuant to a written registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), registration rights with respect to the Conversion Securities, any Pubco Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of the Conversion Securities, and the Pubco Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Bridge Warrants, and to the Placement Agent and the Introducing Broker registration rights with respect to the Pubco Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Bridge Brokers’ Warrants, in each case on a pari passu basis with, and upon substantially the same terms as the registration rights granted to, the holders of PIPE Securities.

(h) Indemnification of Buyers. In consideration of the Buyer’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and acquiring the Notes (and the Conversion Securities, Bridge Warrants and Warrant Shares) hereunder, and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer(s) and each other holder of the Notes (and if applicable, the Conversion Securities, Bridge Warrants and Warrant Shares), and all of their officers, directors, employees and agents (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Buyer 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 Buyer 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 the Buyer Indemnitees or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents. 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. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Buyer Indemnitee against the Company or others, and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law. The liability of the Company under this paragraph to each Buyer shall not exceed the total Subscription Amount paid by such Buyer hereunder.

(i) Indemnification of Company. In consideration of the Company’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and the sale of the Notes (and the Conversion Securities and the Warrant Shares) hereunder, and in addition to all of the Buyer’s other obligations under this Agreement, each Buyer, severally but not jointly, shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each other holder of the Notes (and if applicable, the Conversion Securities and the Warrant Shares), and all of their officers, directors, employees and agents (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Company Indemnitees”) from and against all Indemnified Liabilities, incurred by the Company Indemnitees or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to any actual or alleged false acknowledgment, representation or warranty, or misrepresentation or omission to state a material fact by such Buyer, provided, however, that the Buyer will be liable hereunder in any such case if and only to the extent that any such Indemnified Liability arises out of or is based a violation of federal or state securities laws by the Company resulting from in reliance upon information pertaining to such Buyer, as such, furnished in writing to the Company by such Buyer, and provided, further, however, that the liability of the Buyer hereunder shall be limited to such Xxxxx’s Subscription Amount. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Buyer may be unenforceable for any reason, the Buyer shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities, which is permissible under applicable law. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Company Indemnitee against the Buyer or others, and any liabilities the Buyer may be subject to pursuant to law.

5. CONDITIONS TO THE COMPANY’S OBLIGATION TO SELL.

The obligation of the Company hereunder to issue and sell the Notes to each Buyer at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, at or before the 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:

Buyers, for themselves and on behalf of their affiliates, successors and assigns, expressly waive any conflicts of interest or potential conflicts of interest discussed in Section I.A.2(bb) of this Agreement and agree that the Company and its affiliates shall have no liability to any Buyer or their affiliates, successors and assigns with respect to such conflicts of interest or potential conflicts of interest.

8. GOVERNING LAW: MISCELLANEOUS.

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflict of laws.

If the Buyer is more than one Person, the obligations of the Buyer hereunder shall be joint and several and the agreements, representations, warranties, and acknowledgments herein shall be deemed to be made by and be binding upon each such Person and such Person’s heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns.

(d) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file (or other electronic image that can be opened and printed by the recipient) 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.

(f) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

(g) Entire Agreement, Amendments.

No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, provided that the effect of such action does not waive any accrued interest or damages and further provided that the relative rights of the Buyers to each other remains unchanged.

(h) Notices. Any notice, consents, waivers or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when personally delivered; (ii) upon receipt when sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; (iii) when sent, if by e-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 (iv) one (1) Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier service with next day delivery specified, in each case, properly addressed to the party to receive the same.

Neither the Company nor any Buyer shall assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party hereto.

(j) No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.

(k) Survival. Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 8(n), the representations and warranties of the Company and the Buyer(s) contained in Sections 2 and 3, the agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 4 and 8 shall survive the Closing for a period of twelve (12) months following the date on which all of the Notes are repaid in full or converted into Conversion Securities in their entirety as provided in the Transaction Documents (whichever is the earliest); provided, however, that such representations and warranties shall in no way be affected by any investigation or knowledge of the subject matter thereof made by or on behalf of the Buyers or the Company. Each Buyer shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.

(l) Publicity. The Company shall have the right to approve or reject, in its sole discretion, before issuance any press release or any other public statement with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby made by any other party; and the Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of any Buyer, to issue any press release or other public disclosure with respect to such transactions required under applicable securities or other laws or regulations or as it otherwise deems appropriate.

(n) Termination. In the event that the initial Closing shall not have occurred with respect to the Buyers on or before Final Termination Date due to the Company’s or the Buyers’ failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Sections 5 and 6 above (and the non-breaching party’s failure to waive such unsatisfied condition(s)), the non-breaching party shall have the option to terminate this Agreement with respect to such breaching party by providing five (5) days’ written notice to such breaching party of the non-breaching party’s intent to terminate this Agreement (and if the non-breaching party is the Buyer, to also withdraw its subscription) at the close of business on such date without liability of any party to any other party.

(o) No Strict 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.

(p) Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, the Buyer and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under this Agreement. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agree to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(p) Omnibus Signature Page. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, it is hereby agreed that the execution by the Buyer of this Agreement, in the place set forth on the Buyer Omnibus Signature Page below, shall make the Buyer a party to, and shall constitute agreement of the Buyer to be bound by, the terms and conditions hereof and the terms and conditions of each of the Security Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, with the same effect as if each of such separate agreement were separately signed by the Buyer.

Risk Factors

Risks Related to Our Company

We are an early stage company and have generated nominal revenue.

Serve Robotics, Inc. was formed on January 15, 2021. Accordingly, the Company has a limited history upon which an evaluation of its performance and future prospects can be made. Our current and proposed operations are subject to all business risks associated with new enterprises. These include likely fluctuations in operating results as the Company reacts to developments in its market, managing its growth and the entry of competitors into the market. We will only be able to pay dividends on any shares once our directors determine that we are financially able to do so. Serve Robotics has incurred a net loss and has very little revenues generated since inception.

There is no assurance that we will be profitable in the next 3 years or generate sufficient revenues to pay dividends to the holders of the shares.

Any valuation at this stage is difficult to assess.

The valuation for this Offering was established by the Company and is not based on the financial results of the Company. Instead, it is based on management's best estimates of the investment value of the Company, which is a subjective measure. This differs significantly from listed companies, which are valued publicly through market-driven stock prices. The valuation of private companies, especially early-stage companies, is difficult to assess and you may risk overpaying for your investment.

We have a limited operating history upon which to evaluate our performance and have not yet generated profits or material revenue.

We are a new company and have neither generated material revenue nor profits. As such, it is difficult to determine how we will perform, as our core offering has yet to achieve broad market adoption.

Our auditor has issued a “going concern” opinion.

Our auditor has issued a “going concern” opinion on our financial statements, which means they are not sure that we will be able to succeed as a business without additional financing. As of December 31, 2021, the date of our last audited financial statements, we had not yet commenced any revenue-generating activity. We had sustained a net loss of $21,665,518 and had an accumulated deficit of $21,665,518. Our ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months is dependent upon our ability to generate cash from operating activities and/or to raise additional capital to fund our operations. While we were successful in raising a total of approximately $42,000,000 in debt and equity financing so far, our ongoing operational expenses are now approximately $1,400,000 per month without yet generating any material corresponding revenue. Our failure to raise additional capital could have a negative impact on not only our financial condition but also our ability to execute our business plan.

We will be required to raise additional capital in order to develop our technology and scale our commercial delivery operations.

This Offering will provide us with capital to continue product development and commercial delivery operations. We will need additional capital to develop the next version of the Serve Robotics machines and scale our commercial delivery operations. We will not be able to continue product development and our commercial deliveries if we cannot raise additional debt and/or equity financing.

Our revenues and profits are subject to fluctuations.

It is difficult to accurately forecast our revenues and operating results, and these could fluctuate in the future due to a number of factors. These factors may include adverse changes in companies' interests in our robotic delivery and advertising services, companies' available dollars to invest on our services, general economic conditions, our ability to market our company to companies, headcount and other operating costs, and general industry and regulatory conditions and requirements. The Company's operating results may fluctuate from year to year due to the factors listed above and others not listed. At times, these fluctuations may be significant and could impact our ability to operate our business.

We are dependent on general economic conditions.

Our business model is dependent on companies purchasing our robotic delivery and advertising services. Our business model is thus dependent on national and international economic conditions. Adverse national and international economic conditions may reduce the future availability of dollars companies have to spend on our services, which would negatively impact our revenues and possibly our ability to continue operations. It is not possible to accurately predict the potential adverse impacts on the Company, if any, of current economic conditions on its financial condition, operating results and cash flow.

One of our Directors currently holds multiple positions in our industry.

Our board member Xxxx Xxxxxx currently serves as a director, officer, or advisor to multiple companies. Many of the companies that he holds titles in are in robotics and automation, which is the same industry as Serve Robotics. As such, at times there may be conflicts of interest between Serve Robotics and these other companies.

Our failure to attract and retain highly qualified personnel in the future could harm our business.

We are an innovative technology company. We may not be able to locate or attract qualified individuals for important positions, such as software engineers, robotics engineers, machine vision and machine learning experts, and others, which could affect the Company's ability to grow and expand its business.

Our future revenue plans rely on partnering with third party delivery platforms, brand sponsors, and/or direct sales to merchants.

Our largest stream of projected revenue comes from maximizing utilization of our robots to perform deliveries. We may be unable to maximize utilization due to a variety of reasons, including insufficient merchant participation, platform partner matching algorithms, failure to deliver a commercial grade product, and a lack of product acceptance by merchants and/or delivery recipients. Our financial projections also anticipate generating revenues from brand sponsors who would pay to place their branding on our robots as a form of out-of-home ("OOH") advertising. OOH advertising on robots is a new phenomenon and as such, an unproven model. If we are unable to realize these sales, our business model and go-to-market strategy will be jeopardized.

Our robots operate in public spaces and any errors caused by human supervisors, network connectivity issues, third-party software, or automation may adversely affect our commercial relationships.

Our ability to attract and retain customers (including merchants, platform partners, and brand sponsors) is heavily dependent on our ability to provide a safe and reliable service. Our safety and security track record have been instrumental in helping us attract and retain our existing customers. Because we operate on public sidewalks, we have to maintain the highest standards for public safety and the performance of our robots is highly visible. Any actual or perceived public safety incidents that may be caused by our human supervisors, network connectivity issues, third-party software, or automation may jeopardize our commercial relationships and financial viability.

Our robots rely on sophisticated software technology that incorporate third-party components and networks to operate.

Our robots require certain third-party software and networks to function safely and effectively. Performance degradation or lack of access to such software and networks can result in poor delivery performance or even grounding of our entire fleet until it is resolved, which can adversely impact our ability to continue our operations.

Supply chain and manufacturing constraints will directly impact the cost and the speed at which we can build and deploy our robots.

Our robots contain hundreds of components which are assembled by third-party manufacturing partners. Global supply chain problems will directly impact our ability to obtain these components cost-effectively. Furthermore, our ability to partner with and work productively with third-party manufacturers will impact the speed at which we can scale our robotic fleet, and thereby generate revenues.

The evolving regulations around personal delivery devices ("PDDs") could materially impact our business and growth prospects in new markets.

Sidewalk robots, as opposed to autonomous vehicles operating on public streets, are not by default prohibited from operations in most jurisdictions and do not have any licensing requirements today. But there is no guarantee that the current permissive environment will not change in the future, especially as more sidewalk robots get deployed. While we currently have the requisite permits and support from local municipalities in areas we operate, any change in regulations or permit requirements could adversely impact our business. Therefore, we proactively engage with lawmakers, academics, standards-setting organizations, urban planning nonprofits, disability rights advocates, senior citizen organizations, and regional bicycle coalitions to anticipate and mitigate potential regulatory challenges.

Over a dozen states across the United States have enacted legislation regulating personal delivery devices ("PDDs"), using a definition that includes sidewalk robots such as ours. While these regulations have been largely industry-friendly and intended to streamline the rollout of PDDs in those jurisdictions, they are not yet uniform and may present some challenges as we seek to deploy in new markets. For example, Washington state has a 100 lb unladen weight restriction that would require amending in order for us to expand into that state.

We could be adversely affected by product liability, personal injury or other health and safety issues.

As with any company delivering food or other products, we must adhere to strict health and safety standards. We could suffer significant reputational damage and financial liability if we experience any of the foregoing health and safety issues or incidents, which could have a material adverse effect on our business operations, financial condition and results of operations.

Competitors may have or attain more resources and/or greater market recognition than we do.

A number of companies may have, or may attain, more resources and/or greater market recognition than we do. Some of these companies are direct competitors, while others provide adjacent services such as delivery with autonomous vehicles on streets that could impact our market. Because of this, demand for our services may be reduced and we may find ourselves at a competitive disadvantage.

If the Company cannot protect, maintain and, if necessary, enforce its intellectual property rights, its ability to develop and commercialize products will be adversely impacted.

The Company's success, in large part, depends on its ability to protect and maintain the proprietary nature of its technology. The Company must prosecute and maintain its existing patents and obtain new patents. Some of the Company's proprietary information may not be patentable, and there can be no assurance that others will not utilize similar or superior solutions to compete with the Company. The Company cannot guarantee that it will develop proprietary products that are patentable, and that, if issued, any patent will give a competitive advantage or that such patent will not be challenged by third parties. The process of obtaining patents can be time consuming with no certainty of success, as a patent may not issue or may not have sufficient scope or strength to protect the intellectual property it was intended to protect. The Company cannot assure you that its means of protecting its proprietary rights will suffice or that others will not independently develop competitive technology or design around patents or other intellectual property rights issued to the Company. Even if a patent is issued, it does not guarantee that it is valid or enforceable. Any patents that the Company or its licensors have obtained or obtain in the future may be challenged, invalidated, or unenforceable. If necessary, the Company will initiate actions to protect its intellectual property, which can be costly and time consuming.

We may need to raise additional capital, which might not be available or might be available only on terms unfavorable to us or our investors.

In order to continue to operate and grow the business, we may need to raise additional capital beyond this current financing round by offering shares of our common stock and/or other classes of equity or convertible debt. All of these would result in dilution to our existing investors, plus they may include additional rights or terms that may be unfavorable to our existing investor base. We cannot assure you that the necessary funds will be available on a timely basis, on favorable terms, or at all, or that such funds, if raised, would be sufficient. The level and timing of future expenditure will depend on a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. If we are not able to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all, we may be forced to curtail or abandon our growth plans, which could adversely impact the Company, its business, development, financial condition, operating results or prospects.

Risks Related to COVID-19

The Impact of COVID-19 could slow development of our product and utilization of our services.

Due to COVID-19, the Company may experience delays related to manufacturing, assembly, and deployment of our robots as well as impact the availability and utilization of our services. The impact continues to evolve, and its future effects are uncertain. Due to COVID-19, the Company may be limited at times with regard to the number of engineers that can work on the product and operations personnel responsible for the successful deployment and performance of our services at any given time in order to maintain safe social distancing. Furthermore, as mentioned above, the Company relies on third-party manufacturers, and those manufacturers may experience delays as well. Such delays would adversely impact our ability to generate revenues.

We are and may continue to be significantly impacted by the worldwide economic downturn due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVD-19 health crisis has adversely affected and could continue to affect the global economy, resulting in an economic downturn that could negatively impact the value of the Company's shares and investor demand for shares generally.

The continued spread of COVID-19 has also led to severe disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which could increase our cost of capital and adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets in the future. It is possible that the continued spread of COVID-19 could cause a further economic slowdown or recession or cause other unpredictable events, each of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

The extent to which COVID-19 affects our financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 outbreak and the actions to contain the outbreak or treat its impact, among others. Moreover, the COVID-19 outbreak has had and may continue to have indeterminable adverse effects on general commercial activity and the world economy, and our business and results of operations could be adversely affected to the extent that COVID-19 or any other pandemic xxxxx the global economy generally.

Specifically, COVID-19 may impact the production of our robots and utilization of our services. If we are unable to produce our robots due to manufacturing strains, we may not be able to deploy our robots quickly and scale our business. This impact would mean we'd need to raise additional capital in order to cover our operating expenses and meet our revenue targets.

ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING REQUIREMENTS

The USA PATRIOT Act

The USA PATRIOT Act is designed to detect, deter, and punish terrorists in the United States and abroad. The Act imposes new anti-money laundering requirements on brokerage firms and financial institutions. Since April 24, 2002 all brokerage firms have been required to have new, comprehensive anti-money laundering programs.

To help you understand these efforts, we want to provide you with some information about money laundering and our steps to implement the USA PATRIOT Act.

What is money laundering?

Money laundering is the process of disguising illegally obtained money so that the funds appear to come from legitimate sources or activities. Money laundering occurs in connection with a wide variety of crimes, including illegal arms sales, drug trafficking, robbery, fraud, racketeering, and terrorism.

How big is the problem and why is it important?

The use of the U.S. financial system by criminals to facilitate terrorism or other crimes could well taint our financial markets. According to the U.S. State Department, one recent estimate puts the amount of worldwide money laundering activity at $1 trillion a year.

What are we required to do to eliminate money laundering?

Under rules required by the USA PATRIOT Act, our anti-money laundering program must designate a special compliance officer, set up employee training, conduct independent audits, and establish policies and procedures to detect and report suspicious transaction and ensure compliance with such laws. As part of our required program, we may ask you to provide various identification documents or other information. Until you provide the information or documents we need, we may not be able to effect any transactions for you.

ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING INFORMATION FORM

The following is required in accordance with the AML provision of the USA PATRIOT ACT.
