Section
5.2 Stockholder Approval of Proposal.


 


(a)
Promptly upon a determination that the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Securities or exercise
of the Warrants may be limited as a result of application of any Exchange Voting Requirements, but not later than the next annual
meeting of stockholders of the Company, the Company shall take all action necessary to call a meeting of its stockholders (the

special meetings of its stockholders (each such additional meeting, a “Subsequent Stockholders Meeting”) for
the purpose of seeking approval of the Proposal; provided, the Company shall seek approval of the Proposal not approved
at a Subsequent Stockholders Meeting at each annual meeting following the second Subsequent Stockholders Meeting. In connection

Act and the rules promulgated thereunder (as amended or supplemented, each, a “Proxy Statement”) for use at
the Stockholders Meeting and, if applicable, any Subsequent Stockholders Meeting. After receiving and promptly responding to any
comments of the SEC thereon, the Company shall promptly mail such Proxy Statement (or, if permitted, notice of the availability
of such Proxy Statement) to the stockholders of the Company. The Company will comply with Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and
the rules promulgated thereunder in relation to any form of proxy to be sent or made available to the stockholders of the Company

to stockholders or at the time of the Stockholders Meeting or any Subsequent Stockholders Meeting, contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein not false or misleading,
or omit to state any material fact necessary to correct any statement in any earlier communication with respect to the solicitation
of proxies for the Stockholders Meeting or any Subsequent Stockholders Meeting which has become false or misleading. Each Investor
shall promptly furnish in writing to the Company such information relating to such Investor and its investment in the Company
as the Company may reasonably request for inclusion in each Proxy Statement.


 


(b)

of the Company, pursuant to Rule 144 without volume limitation, manner-of-sale restrictions or the Company being in compliance
with any current public information requirement (the “Registration Period”).

the SEC, covering the maximum number of Conversion Shares permitted to be registered by the SEC, to register for resale the Conversion
Shares as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment, the Company will use commercially reasonable
efforts to advocate with the SEC for the registration of all of the Conversion Shares in accordance with SEC guidance.

(v)       Incorporate
in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as each Investor reasonably requests be included therein

to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; provided, however, that the Company will not be
required to take any action pursuant to this paragraph that would violate applicable law;


 


(vi)       Whenever
necessary, prepare and deliver to each Investor any required supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to
the Registration Statement or a supplement to the Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein
by reference, and file any other required document, including such reports as may be required to be filed under the Exchange Act,
so that, as thereafter delivered, the Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading;

Common Stock is then listed; and


 


(viii)       Fully
cooperate with the Company’s transfer agent, the Investors and their brokers to facilitate the timely clearing and delivery

Agreements or the fact that any clauses have been added, deleted or otherwise modified from any prior drafts of this Agreement
or any other Related Agreements.
