ARTICLE I

RECAPITALIZATION TRANSACTIONS


 


1.1            Recapitalization
Transactions.


 


The Parties, as applicable,
hereby agree to take all of the following actions in connection with the Recapitalization, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement including the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE VII.


 


(a)            Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock. Subject to the receipt of shareholder approval at the Company’s next Annual Meeting, (i) the
Company shall cause the Certificate of Designations to be amended and restated in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
 “A&R Certificate of Designations”), and (ii) on or prior to July 14, 2023, the Investors shall convert
an aggregate amount of 350,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the
Certificate of Designations.


 


(b)            Series A
Warrants. Within five (5) Business Days (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) following the date of this Agreement,
the Investors shall irrevocably exercise all of the Series A Warrants for cash, and the Company shall issue to the Investors shares
of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Series A Warrants and the Company shall pay to the Designee an aggregate amount
of $9,000,000 (the “Series A Payment”). Immediately prior to the exercise of the Series A Warrants, the Parties
hereby agree that the Series A Warrants shall be amended for all purposes to remove any limitation on exercise tied to the “Maximum
Percentage” (as defined in the Series A Warrants). The Series A Payment shall be paid through a reduction in the exercise
price paid for the Series A Warrants as permitted by Section 2(c) of the Series A Warrants. For U.S. federal income
tax purposes, the Parties agree that the Series A Payment shall be treated as an adjustment to the exercise price of the Series A
Warrants and the Parties shall report in a manner consistent with such treatment.


 


(c)            Series B
Warrants. On or prior to July 14, 2023, the Designee and the Investors shall, as applicable, irrevocably exercise 31,506,849
of the Series B Warrants (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction
relating to the Common Stock occurring after the date hereof), through “Note Cancellation” (as defined in the Series B
Warrants) or a combination of a “Note Cancellation” and a Limited Cash Exercise (as defined in the Series B Warrants)
in accordance with the terms of the Series B Warrants, as determined by the Designee and the Investors (the “Series B
Warrants Exercise”). The Parties hereby agree that the applicable Series B Warrants shall be amended for all purposes to
remove any limitation on exercise tied to the “Maximum Percentage” (as defined in the Series B Warrants) effective upon
the earlier of (x) the satisfaction conditions to the Closing set forth in Article VII and (y) the issuance of the Purchase
Rights as set forth in Section 1.1(d).

(d)            Rights
Offering. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to complete a distribution of purchase rights to all holders of its Common
Stock and to the Investors in accordance with the terms of the Series B Warrants (the “Rights Offering”). Each
holder of Common Stock shall receive one (1) right to purchase a share of Common Stock at $5.25 per share (the “Rights Exercise
Price”) (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction relating
to the Common Stock occurring after the date hereof) for every four (4) shares that that shareholder owns, and each Investor also
shall receive an equivalent right in accordance with the terms of the Series B Warrants (all such rights, the “Purchase
Rights”). If the Company determines that a shareholder vote is not required for consummation of the Rights Offering pursuant
to the applicable NASDAQ rules, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to complete the distribution of the Purchase Rights on
or prior to January 15, 2023 which such Purchase Rights will expire not later than February, 15, 2023. In the event that the Company
determines that a shareholder vote is required under the applicable NASDAQ rules, the Parties, each acting reasonably and in good faith,
shall mutually agree upon a revised timetable for the Rights Offering. Pursuant to Section 4(a) of the Series B Warrants,
the Investors shall receive rights in the Rights Offering on an as exercised basis, or approximately 25,000,000 Purchase Rights. The Investors
hereby commit to purchase a minimum of an aggregate of 15,000,000 shares in the Rights Offering (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock
split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction relating to the Common Stock occurring after the date hereof) and shall
make payment in cash, in full, of the Rights Exercise Price for such shares not later than the date by which holders of outstanding shares
of Common Stock shall have been required to make payment of the Rights Exercise Price in order to participate in the Rights Offering.
The Purchase Rights shall not be transferrable by any holder separate and apart from the underlying securities to which they are granted
other than any transfer to an affiliate of such holder. In addition, concurrently with the Rights Offering, each of the Investors holding
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right to purchase from the Company a number of shares of Common Stock equal to
25% times the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at a price equal
to the Rights Exercise Price, which purchase rights shall expire at the same time as the Purchase Rights. Immediately following the completion
of the Rights Offering as set forth herein and the expiration of the Purchase Rights, all Series B Warrants other than the Series B
Warrants to be exercised pursuant to Section 1.1(c) shall expire and be terminated and of no further force or effect.


 


(e)            Recapitalization
Payment. At the Closing, the Company shall pay to the Designee an aggregate amount of $66,000,000 (the “Recapitalization
Payment”). The Recapitalization Payment shall be paid through a reduction in the exercise price paid for the Series B Warrants
described in Section 1.1(c). For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Parties agree that the Recapitalization Payment shall
be treated as an adjustment to the exercise price of the Series B Warrants and the Parties shall report in a manner consistent with
such treatment. If Stockholder Approval for the conversion of the Preferred Stock is not obtained, the Recapitalization Payment will be
reduced by $12,700,000.


 






    3


     


    

 


1.2            Withholding.
The Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as the Company determines
in good faith are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom or in connection therewith under any provision of U.S. federal, state,
local or foreign law relating to taxes. The Company shall provide written notice to the Designee of any deduction or withholding at least
(5) Business Days prior to Closing and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Designee and the Investors
in mitigating any such deduction or withholding. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated
for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made. The
Company agrees that no amount shall be deducted or withheld in connection with the Recapitalization Payment.

stockholders during the Applicable Period where directors are being elected (or, to the extent such action is being taken by written consent,
to consent to each of Ms. O’Connell and Mr. Kohlberg’s election to the Board). If either of Ms. O’Connell
or Mr. Kohlberg (or any Replacement Director, as defined below) is unable or unwilling to serve as a director for any reason or ceases

business, properties, assets, liabilities, operations, results of operations, financial condition or prospects of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (ii) on the Company’s ability to consummate any of the transactions contemplated hereby

Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company
of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (i) result in a violation of the Certificate of Incorporation, or Bylaws

ARTICLE V


representations
and warranties of


the
DESIGNEE AND THE investors


 


Each of the Designee and the
Investors, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants with respect to only itself that, as of the date hereof and as the Closing
Date:


 


5.1            Organization
and Qualification. The Designee or such Investor, as applicable, is duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is formed, and has the requisite power and authorization to own its properties and to carry on
its business as now being conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted. The Designee or such Investor, as applicable, is duly qualified
as a foreign entity to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature of the
business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing
would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have an Investor Material Adverse Effect. As used in this Agreement,
 “Investor Material Adverse Effect” means any effect, change, event or occurrence that would prevent or materially delay,
interfere with, hinder or impair (i) the consummation by the Designee or such Investor, as applicable, of any of the transactions
contemplated hereby on a timely basis or (ii) the material compliance by the Designee or such Investor, as applicable, with its obligations
under the Transaction Documents.


 


5.2            Consents.
Other than the filing of a notification with the FTC and the DOJ pursuant to the HSR Act and any filing required to be made pursuant to
Sections 13 and/or Section 16 of the 1934 Act, the Designee or such Investor, as applicable, is not required to obtain any consent,
authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with any Governmental Entity in order for it to execute, deliver or perform
any of its obligations under or contemplated by the Transaction Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof.
All consents, authorizations, orders, filings and registrations which the Designee or such Investor, as applicable, is required to obtain
pursuant to the preceding sentence have been obtained or effected on or prior to the Closing Date, or shall timely be made thereafter,
and the Designee or such Investor, as applicable, is unaware of any facts or circumstances that might prevent the Designee or such Investor,
as applicable, from obtaining or effecting any of the consent, registration, application or filings pursuant to the preceding sentence.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership (limited or
general), a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization, any other entity and a government or any department
or agency thereof.


 






    14


     


    

 


5.3            No
Public Sale or Distribution. The Designee or such Investor, as applicable, is acquiring the Common Stock for its own account 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 1933 Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, the Designee or such Investor,
as applicable, does not agree to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of
the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the 1933 Act. The Designee
or such Investor, as applicable, is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. The Designee or such Investor,
as applicable, does not presently have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the
Securities.


 


5.4            Accredited
Investor Status. The Designee or such Investor, as applicable, is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in
Rule 501(a) of Regulation D. The Designee or such Investor, as applicable, (i) has such knowledge and experience in financial
and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its prospective investment with respect to the Common Stock,
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants and (ii) can bear the economic risk
of (A) an investment in such securities indefinitely and (B) a total loss in respect of such investment. As of the date hereof
and the Closing Date, the Designee or such Investor, as applicable, is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser
with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.


 


5.5            Reliance
on Exemptions. The Designee or such Investor, as applicable, 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 the Designee’s or such Investor’s, as applicable, compliance with, the representations,
warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Designee or such Investor, as applicable, set forth herein in order
to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Designee or such Investor, as applicable, to acquire the Securities.


 


5.6            Information.
The Designee or such Investor, as applicable, and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with or had access to all materials relating
to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities that have been
requested by the Designee or such Investor, as applicable. The Designee or such Investor, as applicable, and its advisors, if any, have
been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted
by the Designee or such Investor, as applicable, or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect the Designee’s
or such Investor’s, as applicable, right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained herein. The Designee
or such Investor, as applicable, understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. The Designee or such
Investor 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 Securities.


 



    15


     


    

 


5.7            No
Governmental Review. The Designee or such Investor, as applicable, understands that no Governmental Entity has passed on or made any
recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities nor have such authorities
passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.


 


5.8            Authorization;
Validity; Enforcement. The Designee or such Investor, as applicable, has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform
its obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents
by the Designee or such Investor, as applicable, and the consummation by the Designee or such Investor, as applicable, of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by the Designee or such Investor, as applicable. This Agreement and the Transaction
Documents have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the Designee or such Investor, as applicable, and
shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Designee or such Investor, as applicable, enforceable against the Designee
or such Investor, as applicable, in accordance with their respective terms, 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.


 


5.9            General
Solicitation. To the Designee’s or such Investor’s, as applicable, knowledge, neither the Company nor any other Person
offered to sell the Securities to it by means of any form of general solicitation or advertising, including but not limited to: (A) any
advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television
or radio or (B) any seminar or meeting whose attendees were invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.


 


5.10            No
Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Designee or such Investor, as applicable, of this Agreement and the Transaction
Documents and the consummation by the Designee or such Investor, as applicable, of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will
not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of the Designee or such Investor, as applicable, 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 to which the Designee or
such Investor, as applicable, is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree
(including federal and state securities laws and rules and regulations) applicable to the Designee or such Investor, as applicable,
except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such violations, conflicts, defaults or rights which would not, individually
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Designee or such Investor, as applicable,
to perform its obligations hereunder.


 






    16


     


    

 


5.11            No
Other Company Representations or Warranties. The Designee and such Investor, as applicable, acknowledges and agrees that neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries makes or has made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby other than those specifically set forth in ARTICLE IV. In connection with the due diligence investigation of the Company by
such Investor and its representatives, the Designee or such Investor, as applicable, and its representatives have received and may continue
to receive from the Company and its representatives certain estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking information, as
well as certain business plan information containing such information, regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective
businesses and operations. The Designee or such Investor, as applicable, hereby acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in
attempting to make such estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking statements, as well as in such business plans, with
which the Designee or such Investor, as applicable, is familiar, that the Designee or such Investor, as applicable, is making its own
evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking information, as well as such
business plans, so furnished to the Designee or such Investor, as applicable, (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying
such estimates, projections, forecasts, forward-looking information or business plans), and that except for the representations and warranties
made by the Company in ARTICLE IV and in any certificate or other Transaction Document delivered by the Company in connection with
this Agreement, the Designee or such Investor, as applicable, will have no claim against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any
of their respective representatives, with respect thereto.

Meeting; Voting Commitment.


 


(a)            At
the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (the “Annual Meeting”), the Company will, in coordination with
the Designee, in accordance with applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, the Certificate of Designations, and the Bylaws, use
its reasonable best efforts to obtain stockholder approval for the following proposal: an amendment to the Certificate of Designations
in the form of Exhibit A (the “Certificate of Designations Proposal”) (such affirmative approvals being

to be present at the Stockholder Meeting for quorum purposes (including by proxy) and (z) using reasonable best efforts to cause
such officers and directors to vote their respective shares of Common Stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance
with the Stockholder Vote Recommendation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Special Committee and/or the
Board may withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify the Stockholder Vote Recommendation (any such action, a “Change in Recommendation”)
if the Special Committee and/or the Board, as applicable, determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel
and financial advisor, that the failure to make such Change in Recommendation would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary
duties under applicable law.


 


(b)            If
the Company reasonably determines in good faith that the NASDAQ Vote is required with respect to the transactions set forth in Section 1.1(d),
the Company will, in coordination with the Designee, and in accordance with applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, the Certificate

Stock beneficially owned by the Designee and each of the Investors, as applicable and calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 promulgated
under the 1934 Act, in accordance with the Stockholder Vote Recommendation. Each of the Designee and the Investors agree that it will
not, prior to the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, sell, transfer, assign, encumber, hypothecate or similarly
dispose of (by operation of law or otherwise), either voluntarily or involuntarily, any of the shares of Common Stock or Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock beneficially owned by the Designee and each of the Investors as of the date of this Agreement.

of the Designee and the Company shall consult with one another with respect to the making of any registrations, filings and notices with
the FTC and the DOJ required to consummate the transactions as promptly as practicable after the date hereof and the obtaining of all
consents, authorizations and approvals of such Governmental Entities necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions. Each
of the Designee and the Company shall use their reasonable best efforts to make any such registrations, filings and notices, if necessary,
as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement. Each of the Designee and the Company shall keep the other reasonably
apprised on a prompt basis of the status of matters relating to any of the foregoing. Designee and the Company shall have the right to
review in advance and, to the extent practicable, and subject to any restrictions under applicable law, each shall consult the other on,
any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, the FTC and/or the DOJ in connection with the transactions and each agrees to
in good faith consider comments of the other thereon. Designee and the Company shall promptly furnish to each other copies of all such
filings and written materials after their filing or submission, in each case subject to applicable laws. Subject to applicable laws, Designee
and the Company shall promptly advise each other upon receiving any communication from the FTC or the DOJ whose consent, authorization
or approval is required to consummate the Recapitalization, including promptly furnishing each other copies of any written or electronic
communication, and shall promptly advise each other when any such communication causes such party to believe that there is a reasonable
likelihood that any such consent, authorization or approval will not be obtained or that the receipt of any such consent, authorization
or approval will be materially delayed or conditioned.


 


(b)            Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, including this Section 6.4, no Party shall be obligated to take or refrain
from taking or to agree to it or its affiliates taking or refraining from taking any action or to suffer to exist any restriction, condition
or requirement imposed by the FTC or DOJ which, individually or together with all other such actions, restrictions, conditions or requirements,
would, or would reasonably be expected to: (i) have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, assets, liabilities
or results of operations of such Party or any of its affiliates; (ii) impose any material limitations on such Party’s or its
affiliates’ ownership or operation of all or any portion of its or any of its affiliates’ businesses, operations or assets
or compel such Party or any of its affiliates to dispose of or hold separate all or any portion of its or any of its affiliates’
businesses, operations or assets or (iii) would reasonably be expected to substantially impair the benefits to such Party reasonably
likely, as of the date hereof, to be realized from the consummation of the Recapitalization.


 






    19


     


    

 


(c)            Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall a Party or any of its affiliates be required by the FTC or DOJ
to agree to take, or enter into any action, which action is not conditioned upon the Closing.

of Certain Agreements. Effective as of the later of the Closing and the date on which no Notes (as defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreement) remain outstanding, the Parties hereby agree that each of (i) the Securities Purchase Agreement and (ii) the Governance
Agreement, dated as of November 18, 2019, and amended and restated on January 7, 2020 (the “Governance Agreement”),
shall be automatically terminated and of no further force and effect without any further action by any party thereto. For the avoidance
of doubt, in accordance with Section 3.2, the Registration Rights Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety
as of the Closing.


 


6.6            Acknowledgement.
The Designee and each of the Investors, as applicable, hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Recapitalization shall not constitute a
 “Fundamental Transaction,” “Dilutive Issuance,” or “Change of Control” as defined under each of the
Certificate of Designations, the Series A Warrants, the Series B Warrants or the Notes and compliance with Section 1.1(d) in
lieu of distribution of Purchase Rights pursuant to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or be (or be deemed to be) in conflict,
violation or breach thereof (notwithstanding anything to the contrary therein). If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any court of competent
jurisdiction or other person should determine any of the foregoing in a manner inconsistent with the preceding sentence, the Designee
and each of the Investors irrevocably agree to waive, and not to assert, any and all rights they may acquire as a result thereof.


 


6.7            Form W-9
or W-8. At the Closing, each Investor shall provide an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or Form W-8, as applicable (or
applicable successor form) properly completed and executed by such Investor (or, if such Investor is disregarded for U.S. federal income
tax purposes, its regarded owner).

termination


 


8.1            Termination
of Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing as follows:


 


(a)            by
the mutual written consent of the Company and the Designee in a written instrument;


 


(b)            by
the Company or the Designee, if any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over any Party shall have issued a final nonappealable order
or taken any other action, in each case permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Recapitalization
or any law that permanently makes consummation of the Recapitalization illegal or otherwise prohibited shall be in effect; provided,
that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b) shall not be available to the Company, on the one
hand, or the Designee, on the other hand, if such order or law was primarily due to a breach by the Company, on the one hand, or either
the Designee or any of the Investors, on the other hand, of this Agreement;


 


(c)            by
the Company, if the Designee or any of the Investors has breached this Agreement, which breach would result in the failure of a condition
set forth in Section 7.2(a) to be satisfied and such breach is incapable of being cured or, if capable of being cured,
is not cured by the earlier of (x) the Outside Date or (y) thirty (30) days following receipt by the Designee of written notice
of such breach from the Company; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the terms of this Section 8.1(c) shall
not be available if the Company is itself in breach of this Agreement, and which breach would result in a failure of a condition set forth
in Section 7.3(a);


 


(d)            by
the Designee, if the Company has breached this Agreement, which breach would result in the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.3(a) to
be satisfied and such breach is incapable of being cured or, if capable of being cured, is not cured by the earlier of (x) the Outside
Date or (y) thirty (30) days following receipt by the Company of written notice of such breach from the Designee; provided
that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the terms of this Section 8.1(d) shall not be available if the
Designee or any Investor is in breach of this Agreement, and which breach would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.2(a);
or


 


(e)            by
the Company or the Designee, if the Closing does not occur on or before July 31, 2023 (the “Outside Date”); provided
that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(e) shall not be available to the Company, on
the one hand, or the Designee, on the other hand, if the failure of the Closing to occur prior to such time was primarily due to a breach
of the Company, on the one hand, or either the Designee or any of the Investors, on the other hand, of this Agreement.


 






    22


     


    

 


8.2            Procedure
Upon Termination. In the event of valid termination of this Agreement by the Company or the Designee, or both, pursuant to Section 8.1,
written notice thereof shall be given to the other Parties, and this Agreement will terminate, effective immediately upon delivery of
such written notice to the other Parties, without further action by the Company or the Designee.


 


8.3            Effect
of Termination. In the event that this Agreement is validly terminated as provided in Section 8.1, each of the Parties
will be relieved of its duties and obligations arising under this Agreement after the date of such termination and such termination will
be without liability to the Company, the Designee or the Investors; provided, that Section 6.6 shall survive any such
termination; provided, further, that nothing in this Agreement shall release any Party from liability for fraud or any Willful
Breach of any covenant or agreement contained herein occurring prior to termination, in which case the aggrieved Party shall be entitled
to all rights and remedies available at law or in equity. For purposes of this Section 8.3, “Willful Breach” means
a material breach of this Agreement that is the consequence of an act or omission by the breaching party with the actual knowledge that
the taking of such act (or, in the case of an omission, failure to take such act) would cause or constitute such material breach, regardless
of whether breaching was the object of the act or failure to act.


 


ARTICLE IX


miscellaneous


 


9.1            Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement
shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision
or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions
other than the State of New York. Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts
sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with
any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or
proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is
brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each Party hereby irrevocably waives
personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such
Party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service
of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted
by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION
OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.


 






    23


     


    

 


9.2            Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and
shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each Party and delivered to the other Parties; provided that a facsimile
or .pdf signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as
if the signature were an original, not a facsimile or .pdf signature.


 


9.3            Headings.
The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.


 


9.4            Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest
extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity
of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change,
the original intentions of the Parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the
provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the Parties or the
practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the Parties. The Parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations
to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as
possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).


 


9.5            Entire
Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between
the Designee, the Investors, the Company, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf with respect to the Recapitalization, this
Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding of the Parties
with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor
any Investor makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. Provisions of this Agreement may
be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively),
only with the written consent of the Company and the Designee. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 9.5
shall be binding upon each Party. The Company shall not agree to any amendment, waiver, modification or termination this Agreement unless
such amendment, waiver, modification or termination is first approved by the Unaffiliated Directors or a majority of the disinterested
directors of the Company.

The Company shall reimburse each Investor and the Designee (in addition to any other expense amounts paid to any Investor, the Designee

with respect to any necessary filings, approvals and/or clearances under the HSR Act, which aggregate amount shall not exceed $75,000

in connection with the Recapitalization.


 


9.13            Specific
Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages or other legal remedies, even if available, would

breached by the Parties. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, or any other
appropriate form of specific performance or equitable relief, to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce

Each Party agrees not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance and further agrees not
to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert
that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach. Each Party further agrees that neither the other
Party nor any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition
to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 9.13, and each Party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require
the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

FORM OF SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE
OF


DESIGNATIONS, PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS OF SERIES A CONVERTIBLE


PREFERRED STOCK

OF

ACACIA RESEARCH CORPORATION


 


Acacia Research Corporation (the “Company”),
a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), does
hereby certify that the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), pursuant to authority conferred upon the Board
by the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the Company, and the Required Holders (as such term is defined in the Initial Certificate
of Designations, as defined below) of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A
Preferred Shares”), pursuant to the provisions of the DGCL, have adopted resolutions amending and restating the Certificate
of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, as follows;


 


WHEREAS, pursuant to its authority, the Board previously
fixed the powers, designations, preferences and other special rights relating to the Series A Preferred Shares, consisting of up
to 350,000 shares of Series A Preferred Shares, 350,000 of which have been issued, as set forth in a Certificate of Designations,
Preferences and Rights of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of Acacia Research Corporation dated November 18, 2019 (the “Initial
Certificate of Designations”); and


 


WHEREAS, pursuant to its authority, the Board duly
adopted on January 7, 2020, and by an Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock of Acacia Research Corporation filed in the office of the Secretary of State of Delaware on January 7, 2020 (the
 “A&R Certificate of Designation”), the Company amended and restated the provisions of the Initial Certificate of
Designations;


 


WHEREAS, the Board wishes to amend and restate
the A&R Certificate of Designations in its entirety to remove certain limitations on conversion;


 


RESOLVED, that the Board does hereby amend and
restate the A&R Certificate of Designations, which shall have the following powers, designations, preferences and other special rights:


 


(1)            Ranking.
The Series A Preferred Shares shall rank prior and superior to all of the Common Stock and any other capital stock of the Company
with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon a Liquidation Event. The rights of the shares of Common
Stock and other capital stock of the Company shall be of junior rank to and subject to the preferences and relative rights of the Series A
Preferred Shares. The Company shall be permitted to issue capital stock, including preferred stock, that is junior in rank to the Series A
Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to dividends and other distributions, redemption payments and payments upon a Liquidation
Event (such stock being referred to hereinafter collectively as “Junior Stock”), provided, that the maturity
date (or any other date requiring redemption, repayment or any other payment, including, without limitation, dividends in respect of any
such shares of preferred stock) of any such junior preferred shares is not on or before 91 days after the Maturity Date.


 






    


     


    

 


(2)            Prepayment.
Other than as specifically permitted by this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series A
Preferred Shares of the Company (this “Certificate of Designations”), the Company may not prepay any portion of any
outstanding Conversion Amount.


 


(3)            Liquidation.
In the event of a Liquidation Event, holders of Series A Preferred Shares (each, a “Holder” and collectively,
the “Holders”) shall be entitled to receive in cash out of the assets of the Company legally available therefor, whether
from capital or from earnings available for distribution to its stockholders (the “Liquidation Funds”) upon such Liquidation
Event, but before any amount shall be paid to the holders of Junior Stock, an amount per Series A Preferred Share equal to the greater
of (i) the Conversion Amount and (ii) the amount that would have been received had such Series A Preferred Shares been
converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such Liquidation Event at the then effective Conversion Price (without regard to any
limitations on conversion); provided that, if the Liquidation Funds are insufficient to pay the full amount due to the Holders
and holders of shares of other classes or series of preferred stock of the Company, if any, that are of equal rank with the Series A
Preferred Shares as to payments of Liquidation Funds (such stock being referred to hereinafter collectively as “Pari Passu Stock”),
if any, then each Holder and each holder of any such Pari Passu Stock shall receive a percentage of the Liquidation Funds equal to the
full amount of Liquidation Funds that would be payable to such Holder as a liquidation preference, in accordance with their respective
Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights, as a percentage of the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to all Holders and
holders of Pari Passu Stock.


 


(4)            Dividends.
From and after the first date of issuance of any Series A Preferred Shares (the “Issuance Date”), (i) the
Holders of record as they appear on the stock books of the Company on the fifteenth (15th) day (even if such day is not a Business Day)
(a “Preferential Dividend Record Date”) of the calendar month immediately preceding the first (1st) Business Day of
each succeeding Calendar Quarter (each such date, a “Preferential Dividend Date”), shall be entitled to receive, to
the fullest extent permitted by law and out of funds lawfully available therefor, before any dividends shall be declared, set apart for
or paid upon the Common Stock or any other Junior Stock, cash dividends, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, per Series A
Preferred Share on the applicable Preferential Dividend Date in arrears for the previous Calendar Quarter equal to an amount of cash calculated
at the applicable Preferential Dividend Rate on the Stated Value of each such Series A Preferred Share computed on the basis of a
360-day year and twelve 30-day months (the “Preferential Dividends”) and (ii) the Holders on the record date fixed
for holders of Common Stock for dividends and distributions (or, in the event no such date is fixed, on the Preferential Dividend Record
Date) shall be entitled to receive, concurrently with the dividends and distributions to the holders of Common Stock (or, in the event
no such dividends or distributions are made, on the Preferential Dividend Date), such dividends paid and distributions made to the holders
of Common Stock to the same extent as if such Holders had converted the Series A Preferred Shares into Common Stock (without regard
to any limitations on conversion) and had held such shares of Common Stock on such record date (the “Participating Dividends”
and together with the Preferential Dividends, the “Dividends”). Dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares shall
commence accruing on the Issuance Date, shall be cumulative and shall continue to accrue whether or not declared and whether or not in
any fiscal year there shall be net profits or surplus available for the payment of Dividends in such fiscal year, so that if in any fiscal
year or years, Dividends in whole or in part are not paid upon the Series A Preferred Shares for any reason, unpaid Dividends shall
accumulate thereon. If the Company fails to declare and pay in cash full Preferential Dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares
on any Preferential Dividend Date as provided in this Section 4, then any Preferential Dividends payable on such Preferential Dividend
Date on the Series A Preferred Shares but not paid shall accrue and bear interest at a rate equal to the Preferential Dividend Rate,
computed on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day months, from and including the applicable Preferential Dividend Date to but
excluding the day on which the Company shall have paid in cash in accordance with this Section 4 all Dividends on which the Series A
Preferred Shares that are then in arrears or until the conversion or redemption of the applicable shares of Series A Preferred Shares.
From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Triggering Event, the Preferential Dividend Rate shall be increased to either
(i) seven percent (7.0%) per annum if before the consummation of an Approved Investment or (ii) ten percent (10.0%) per annum
if after the consummation of an Approved Investment. In the event that such Triggering Event is subsequently cured, the adjustment referred
to in the preceding sentence shall cease to be effective as of the date of such cure; provided, that the Preferential Dividends
as calculated and unpaid at such increased rate during the continuance of such Triggering Event shall continue to apply to the extent
relating to the days after the occurrence of such Triggering Event through and including the date of cure of such Triggering Event; provided,
further, that for the purpose of this Section 4, such Triggering Event shall not be deemed cured unless and until any accrued
and unpaid Dividends shall be paid to the Holders, including, without limitation, Preferential Dividends accrued at the applicable increased
rate. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall not redeem or repurchase any Equity Interests or pay any dividends with respect to any Equity
Interests (other than Series A Preferred Shares pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designation) unless the Company has
declared all Dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares that have accrued through the Preferential Dividend Record Date immediately
preceding the date of such redemption or repurchase and paid all Dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares that are payable through
the Preferential Dividend Date immediately preceding the date of such redemption or repurchase.

(5)            Conversion
of Series A Preferred Shares. At any time or times after the Issuance Date, the Series A Preferred Shares shall be convertible
into shares of Common Stock, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5.


 


(a)            Holder’s
Conversion Right. At any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, any Holder shall be entitled to convert all or any portion
of the Conversion Amount of any Series A Preferred Shares, into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock in accordance
with this Section 5 at the Conversion Rate (as defined below).


 


(b)            Conversion.
The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of each Series A Preferred Share pursuant to Section 5(a) shall
be determined according to the following formula (the “Conversion Rate”):


 


Conversion
Amount

Conversion Price


 


No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be
issued upon the conversion of any Series A Preferred Share, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be
rounded up to the nearest whole number. The applicable Conversion Rate and Conversion Price from time to time in effect is subject to
adjustment as hereinafter provided.


 


(c)            Mechanics
of Conversion. The conversion of Series A Preferred Shares shall be conducted in the following manner:


 


(i)            Holder’s
Delivery Requirements. To convert Series A Preferred Shares into shares of Common Stock on any date on or after the Issuance
Date (a “Conversion Date”), a Holder shall (A) deliver to the Company on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time,
on such date, a copy of a properly completed notice of conversion executed by the Holder of the Series A Preferred Shares subject
to such conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (a “Conversion Notice”) and (B) if required
by Section 5(c)(vi), but without delaying the Company’s requirement to deliver shares of Common Stock on the applicable Share
Delivery Date (as defined below), surrender to a common carrier for delivery to the Company as soon as practicable following such date
the original certificates representing the Series A Preferred Shares being converted (or comply with the procedures set forth in
Section 22) (the “Series A Preferred Stock Certificates”). No ink-original Conversion Notice shall be required,
nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Conversion Notice be required.


 






    3


     


    

 


(ii)            Company’s
Response. Upon delivery to the Company of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall (I) as soon as practicable, but in any event
within one (1) Trading Day, send a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such Holder and the Transfer Agent, which
confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein
and (II) on or before the earlier of (A) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period and (B) the
second (2nd) Trading Day following the date on which the Holder has delivered the applicable Conversion Notice to the Company (a “DTC
Share Delivery Date”), provided that (A) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion are subject to an effective
resale registration statement in favor of such Holder or (B) if converted at a time when Rule 144 would be available for immediate
resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion by such Holder, the Company shall credit such aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled to such Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with the Depository
Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) system.


 


On or before the fifth (5th) Trading Day following
the date on which the Holder has delivered the applicable Conversion Notice to the Company (a “Book-Entry Delivery Date”
and together with the DTC Share Delivery Date, a “Share Delivery Date”), the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
are not subject to an effective resale registration statement in favor of such Holder and, if converted at a time when Rule 144 would
not be available for immediate resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion by such Holder, the Company shall (i) issue
the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled with such restrictive legends as shall be required pursuant
to Section 4(y) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee in book-entry form
at the Transfer Agent and (ii) deliver to the address as specified in the applicable Conversion Notice a copy from the Company’s
books and records evidencing such issuance. If a Series A Preferred Stock Certificate is physically submitted in connection with
any conversion and if the number of Series A Preferred Shares represented by the Series A Preferred Stock Certificate(s) submitted
for conversion is greater than the number of Series A Preferred Shares being converted, then the Company shall, as soon as practicable
and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after delivery of the Series A Preferred Stock Certificate(s) and at
its own expense, issue and deliver to such Holder a new Series A Preferred Stock Certificate representing the number of Series A
Preferred Shares not converted. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms
and subject to the conditions hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by such Holder to enforce
the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to
enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination. While any Series A Preferred Shares are outstanding,
the Company shall use a transfer agent that participates in DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) Program.


 






    4


     


    

 


(iii)            Record
Holder. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of Series A Preferred
Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the applicable Conversion Date,
irrespective of the date such shares of Common Stock are credited to such Holder’s account with DTC or the date of delivery of the
certificates evidencing such shares of Common Stock, as the case may be.


 


(iv)            Company’s
Failure to Timely Convert.


 


(A)            Cash
Damages. If on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Date the Company shall fail to issue to a Holder in book- entry from
at the Transfer Agent or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC, as applicable, for the number of shares of Common Stock
to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion of Series A Preferred Shares or the Company fails to comply
with its obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock as contemplated pursuant to clause (ii) below (unless such failure is due solely
to the action or inaction of the Holder or an agent of the Holder) (each, a “Conversion Failure”), then, in addition
to all other remedies available to the Holder, (A) the Company shall pay damages to such Holder for each Trading Day of such Conversion
Failure in an amount equal to 2.0% of the product of (1) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to such Holder
on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Date and to which such Holder is entitled, and (2) the Weighted Average Price of the
shares of Common Stock on the applicable Share Delivery Date and (B) in addition to the foregoing, if on or after the applicable
Share Delivery Date such Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock relating to the applicable
Conversion Failure (a “Buy-In”), within two (2) Trading Days after such Holder’s request and in such Holder’s
discretion, either (i) pay cash to such Holder in an amount equal to such Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage
commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”),
at which point the Company’s obligation to issue and deliver such certificate or credit such Holder’s balance account with
DTC for such shares of Common Stock shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to such Holder a certificate
or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for such shares of Common
Stock, as applicable, and pay cash to such Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such
number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock on the applicable Conversion Date. Nothing
herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without
limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates
representing shares of Common Stock (or to electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock) upon conversion of the Series A Preferred
Shares as required pursuant to the terms hereof, but if the Holder exercises its Buy-In right, then such remedy shall be the sole and
exclusive remedy for such Conversion Failure.


 






    5


     


    

 


(B)            Void
Conversion Notice. If for any reason a Holder has not received all of the shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled
on the applicable Share Delivery Date with respect to a conversion of Series A Preferred Shares, then such Holder, upon written notice
to the Company may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any Series A Preferred
Shares that have not been converted pursuant to such Holder’s Conversion Notice; provided that the voiding of a Holder’s
Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice
pursuant to Section 5(c)(iv)(A) or otherwise.


 


(v)            Pro
Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one Holder for the same Conversion
Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such Series A Preferred Shares, the Company shall convert from each holder
electing to have Series A Preferred Shares converted at such time a pro rata amount of such holder’s portion of Series A
Preferred Shares submitted for conversion based on Stated Value of Series A Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date
by such holder relative to the aggregate Stated Value of Series A Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date. In the
event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to a Holder in connection with a conversion of Series A Preferred
Shares, the Company shall issue to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance
with Section 19.


 






    6


     


    

 


(vi)            Book-Entry.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of Series A Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms
hereof, a Holder thereof shall not be required to physically surrender the certificate representing the Series A Preferred Shares
to the Company unless (A) the full or remaining number of Series A Preferred Shares represented by the certificate are being
converted, in which case such Holder shall deliver such stock certificate to the Company as soon as reasonably practicable following such
conversion or (B) a Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice)
requesting reissuance of Series A Preferred Shares upon physical surrender of any Series A Preferred Shares. Each Holder and
the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Series A Preferred Shares so converted and the dates of such conversions
or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holders and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of the
certificate representing the Series A Preferred Shares upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such
records of the Company establishing the number of Series A Preferred Shares to which the record holder is entitled shall be controlling
and determinative in the absence of manifest error. If the Company does not update its records to record such Stated Value and Dividends
converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and the dates of such conversions and/or payments (as the case may be) within two (2) Business
Days of such occurrence, then the Company’s records shall be automatically deemed updated to reflect such occurrence. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if Series A Preferred Shares represented by a certificate are converted as aforesaid, a Holder may not transfer the
certificate representing the Series A Preferred Shares unless such Holder first physically surrenders the certificate representing
the Series A Preferred Shares to the Company, whereupon the Company will within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such surrender,
issue and deliver upon the order of such Holder a new certificate of like tenor, registered as such Holder may request, representing in
the aggregate the remaining number of Series A Preferred Shares represented by such certificate within five (5) Business Days.
A Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of a certificate, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph,
following conversion of any Series A Preferred Shares, the number of Series A Preferred Shares represented by such certificate
may be less than the number of Series A Preferred Shares stated on the face thereof. Each certificate for Series A Preferred
Shares shall bear the following legend:


 


ANY TRANSFEREE OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW
THE TERMS OF THE COMPANY’S CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE SERIES A PREFERRED SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE, INCLUDING
SECTION 5(c)(vi) THEREOF. THE NUMBER OF SERIES A PREFERRED SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE LESS THAN THE
NUMBER OF SERIES A PREFERRED SHARES STATED ON THE FACE HEREOF PURSUANT TO SECTION 5(c)(vi) OF THE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS
RELATING TO THE SERIES A PREFERRED SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE.


 






    7


     


    

 


(d)            Mandatory
Conversion at the Company’s Election. If at any time, or from time to time, from and after November 15, 2025 (the “Mandatory
Conversion Start Date”) (i) the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock has equaled or exceeded 190% of the initial Conversion
Price (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction relating to the Common
Stock occurring after the Subscription Date, but, for the avoidance of doubt not giving effect to any adjustment to the Conversion Price
pursuant to Section 5(g)) (a “Mandatory Conversion Price Condition”) for at least thirty (30) consecutive Trading
Days following the Mandatory Conversion Start Date (a “Mandatory Conversion Measuring Period”) and (ii) no other
Equity Conditions Failure has occurred during the period beginning on the first day of the applicable Mandatory Conversion Measuring Period
relating to the applicable Mandatory Conversion (as defined below) through the applicable Mandatory Conversion Date (as defined below),
the Company shall from time to time have the right to require the Holders to convert all, or any portion, of the outstanding Series A
Preferred Shares, as designated in the Mandatory Conversion Notice (as defined below) relating to the applicable Mandatory Conversion
on the applicable Mandatory Conversion Date into fully paid, validly issued and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at the Conversion
Rate as of the applicable Mandatory Conversion Date (a “Mandatory Conversion”). The Company may exercise its right
to require conversion under this Section 5(d) by delivering within not more than thirty (30) days following the end of any such
Mandatory Conversion Measuring Period a written notice thereof by electronic mail to all Holders and the Transfer Agent (a “Mandatory
Conversion Notice” and the date the Company delivers to the Transfer Agent and all Holders such notice is referred to as a “Mandatory
Conversion Notice Date”). Each Mandatory Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable. Each Mandatory Conversion Notice shall (i) (a) state
the Trading Day on which the applicable Mandatory Conversion shall occur, which Trading Day shall be the thirtieth (30th) Trading Day
following the applicable Mandatory Conversion Notice Date (a “Mandatory Conversion Date”), (b) state the aggregate
Conversion Amount of the Series A Preferred Shares which the Company has elected to be subject to such Mandatory Conversion from
such Holder and all other Holders pursuant to this Section 5(d) and (c) state the number of shares of Common Stock to be
issued to such Holder on the applicable Mandatory Conversion Date and (ii) certify that the Mandatory Conversion Price Condition
relating to the applicable Mandatory Conversion has been satisfied and that there has been no other Equity Conditions Failure on any day
during the period beginning on the first day of the applicable Mandatory Conversion Measuring Period prior to the related Mandatory Conversion
Notice Date through the applicable Mandatory Conversion Notice Date. If the Company confirmed that there was no such Equity Conditions
Failure relating to the applicable Mandatory Conversion as of the applicable Mandatory Conversion Notice Date, but an Equity Conditions
Failure occurs at any time between the applicable Mandatory Conversion Notice Date and the applicable Mandatory Conversion Date (a “Mandatory
Conversion Interim Period”), the Company shall provide each Holder a subsequent written notice to that effect. If there is an
Equity Conditions Failure during the applicable Mandatory Conversion Interim Period, then such Mandatory Conversion shall be null and
void with respect to all or any part designated by such Holder of the unconverted Series A Preferred Shares subject to the applicable
Mandatory Conversion and such Holder shall be entitled to all the rights of a holder of Series A Preferred Shares with respect to
such Series A Preferred Shares; provided, however, that if a Holder waives in writing an Equity Conditions Failure
during the applicable Mandatory Conversion Interim Period, then the Company shall be required to proceed with the applicable Mandatory
Conversion with respect to such Holder (but not with respect any Holder who has not so waived such Equity Conditions Failure). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 5(d), until the applicable Mandatory Conversion has occurred, the Series A Preferred
Shares subject to the applicable Mandatory Conversion may be (i) converted, in whole or in part, by a Holder into shares of Common
Stock pursuant to Section 5 and/or (ii) exchanged, in whole or in part, by a Holder into Exchange Notes and Exchange Series B
Warrants pursuant to Section 16. All Series A Preferred Shares converted by a Holder after a Mandatory Conversion Notice Date
pursuant to Section 5(c) or exchanged pursuant to Section 16 shall reduce the Series A Preferred Shares required to
be converted on the related Mandatory Conversion Date. If the Company elects to cause a Mandatory Conversion pursuant to this Section 5(d),
then it must simultaneously take the same action in the same proportion with respect to all Series A Preferred Shares, to the extent
practicable or, if the pro rata basis is not practicable for any reason, by lot or such other equitable method as the Company determines
in good faith. At each Mandatory Conversion Date, each Series A Preferred Share to be converted pursuant to such Mandatory Conversion
shall automatically be converted into fully paid, validly issued, nonassessable shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Rate as of the
applicable Mandatory Conversion Date without any further act or deed on the part of the Company, any Holder or any other Person.

(e)            [Reserved.]


 


(f)            Transfer
Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery
of Common Stock upon conversion of any Conversion Amount.


 


(g)            Adjustments
to Conversion Price. The Conversion Price will be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 5(g).


 


(i)            Adjustment
of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after the Subscription Date, the Company issues or sells,
or in accordance with this Section 5(g)(i) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance
or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding shares of Common Stock issued by the
Company as a dividend or other distribution in respect of the Common Stock for which an adjustment is made pursuant to Section 5(g)(iii) or
deemed to have been issued or sold by the Company in connection with any Excluded Securities) for a consideration per share less than
a price (the “Applicable Price”) equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale
or deemed issuance or sale (the foregoing, a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the
Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the product of (A) the Conversion Price in effect immediately
prior to such Dilutive Issuance and (B) the quotient determined by dividing (1) the sum of (I) the product derived by multiplying
the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance and the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding
immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance plus (II) the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such Dilutive Issuance,
by (2) the product derived by multiplying (I) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance by
(II) the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately after such Dilutive Issuance. For purposes of determining
the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section 5(g)(i), the following shall be applicable:


 


(A)            Issuance
of Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common
Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable
upon exercise of any such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding
and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes
of this Section 5(g)(i)(A), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of
any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option”
shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one
share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of
any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option less any consideration paid or payable by the Company with respect to such
one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion exercise or exchange
of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the
actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual
issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.


 






    9


     


    

 


(B)            Issuance
of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share
for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then
such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance
or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 5(g)(i)(B), the “lowest price
per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof” shall be equal to the
sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock
upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security less any
consideration paid or payable by the Company with respect to such one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible
Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be
made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and
if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Price
has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 5(g)(i), no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall
be made by reason of such issue or sale.


 


(C)            Change
in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration,
if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities
are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any time, the Conversion Price
in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price, which would have been in effect at such
time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased
or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 5(g)(i)(C),
if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Subscription Date are increased or decreased in the
manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed
issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease.
No adjustment pursuant to this Section 5(g)(i) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion
Price then in effect.


 






    10


     


    

 


(D)            Calculation
of Consideration Received. In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together
comprising one integrated transaction, (x) the Options will be deemed to have been issued for the Option Value of such Options and
(y) the other securities issued or sold in such integrated transaction shall be deemed to have been issued or sold for the difference
of (I) the aggregate consideration received by the Company less any consideration paid or payable by the Company pursuant to the
terms of such other securities of the Company, less (II) the Option Value of such Options. If any shares of Common Stock, Options
or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will
be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or
sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration
determined by the Board in good faith, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount
of consideration received by the Company will be the Closing Sale Price of such publicly traded securities on the date of receipt of such
publicly traded securities. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving
entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed
to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common
Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, in each case determined by the Board in good faith. The fair value of any
consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined by the Board in good faith. If the Required Holders object
in writing to any determination of fair value by the Board pursuant to this subsection within five (5) Business Days of notice of
such determination (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business
Days after the tenth (10th) Business Day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the
Company and the Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error
and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
if any calculation pursuant to this Section 5(g)(i)(D) would result in a Conversion Price that is lower than the par value of
the Common Stock, then the Conversion Price shall be deemed to equal the par value of the Common Stock.


 


(E)            Record
Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (I) to receive
a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (II) to subscribe for
or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue
or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other
distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.


 






    11


     


    

 


(ii)            Voluntary
Adjustment By Company. The Company may at any time, with the prior written consent of the Required Holders, reduce the then current
Conversion Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board.


 


(iii)            Adjustment
of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date
subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced.
If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes
of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination
will be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this Section 5(g)(iii) shall become effective at the close of business
on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.


 


(iv)            Other
Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 5(g) but not expressly provided for
by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with
equity features), then the Board will make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price, as mutually determined by the Board and
the Required Holders, so as to protect the rights of the Holders; provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 5(g)(iv) will
increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 5(g).


 


(h)            Cash
Payment. In the event that the Company is unable to issue and deliver (i) any shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms
of the Transaction Documents by virtue of the Company not having a sufficient number of authorized shares as set forth in Section 12,
or (ii) from and after the six (6) month anniversary of the Issuance Date, Freely Tradable Shares, the Company shall pay cash
on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Date to such Holder in exchange for such number of shares of Common Stock that are not deliverable
or Freely Tradable Shares, as applicable, upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares at a price equal to the product of (x) such
number of shares of Common Stock and (y) the highest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock in effect at any time during the period
beginning on the applicable Conversion Date and ending on the date the Company makes the payment provided for in this sentence. For the
avoidance of doubt, if the Company is required to make a cash payment to a Holder pursuant to this Section 5(h), the Company shall
upon and to the extent of such cash payment have satisfied its obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock upon such conversion.


 






    12


     


    

 


(i)            Notices.
The Company shall provide each Holder with prompt written notice of all actions taken pursuant to this Certificate of Designations, including
in reasonable detail a description of such action and the reason therefor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:


 


(i)            Promptly
upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 5(g), the Company shall give written notice thereof to each Holder,
setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment. In the case of a dispute as to the determination
of such adjustment, then such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 19.


 


(ii)            The
Company shall give written notice to each Holder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the Company closes its
books or takes a record (I) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, (II) with respect to any pro
rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or (III) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction
or Liquidation Event.


 


(iii)            The

Transaction or Liquidation Event will take place, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction
with such notice being provided to such Holder.

party so long as the Company provides such Holder a written statement from such insurer or indemnity provider (which written statement
shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Holder) to the effect that such judgment, order or award is covered by insurance or an indemnity
and the Company will receive the proceeds of such insurance or indemnity within thirty (30) days of the issuance of such judgment, order
or award) in excess of $20,000,000 are rendered against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and which judgments, orders or awards are

    14

than as specifically set forth in another clause of this Section 6(a), the Company breaches any covenant or other term or condition
set forth in this Certificate of Designations or in Section 4(u) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, except, in the case of

(x)            if

    15


     


    

 


(xv)            any
Event of Default (as defined in the Notes) occurs with respect to any Notes.


 


(b)            Redemption
Option Upon Triggering Event. The Company shall promptly, but in any event within one (1) Business Day, notify
each Holder in writing upon the Company becoming aware that a Triggering Event has occurred (a “Notice of Triggering Event”),
and, to the extent required pursuant to Section 28, simultaneously with the delivery of such notice to the Holders, file a Current
Report on Form 8-K with the SEC to state such fact. In addition to all other rights of the Holders contained herein, at any time
after the earlier of a Holder’s receipt of a Notice of Triggering Event and a Holder becoming aware of a Triggering Event, such
Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to redeem, to the fullest extent permitted by law and
out of funds lawfully available therefor, all or a portion of such Holder’s Series A Preferred Shares (a “Triggering
Event Redemption”) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds at a price equal to (i) if there is an Equity
Conditions Failure (that is not waived in writing by such Holder), the greater of (A) the Conversion Amount being redeemed and (B) the
product of (1) the Conversion Amount being redeemed and (2) the quotient determined by dividing (x) the highest Closing
Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock during the period beginning on the date immediately preceding such Triggering Event and ending
on the date such Holder delivers the Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder (as defined below), by (y) the lowest Conversion Price
in effect during such period, in addition to any and all other amounts due hereunder and (ii) otherwise, the Conversion Amount being
redeemed (the price set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i) or clause (ii), as applicable, the “Triggering Event
Redemption Price”).


 


(c)            Mandatory
Redemption upon Bankruptcy Triggering Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and notwithstanding any conversion that
is then required or in process, upon any Bankruptcy Triggering Event, whether occurring prior to or following the Maturity Date, the Company
shall immediately pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing the applicable Triggering Event Redemption Price, without the requirement
for any notice or demand or other action by any Holder or any other Person; provided that a Holder may, in its sole and absolute
discretion, waive such right to receive payment upon a Bankruptcy Triggering Event, in whole or in part, and any such waiver shall not
affect any other rights of such Holder hereunder, including any other rights in respect of such Bankruptcy Triggering Event, any right
to conversion, and any right to payment of the Triggering Event Redemption Price or any other Redemption Price, as applicable.


 


(d)            Mechanics
of Triggering Event Redemption at Option of Holder. At any time after the earlier of a Holder’s receipt of a Notice
of Triggering Event and such Holder becoming aware of a Triggering Event, any Holder may require the Company to redeem, to the fullest
extent permitted by law and out of funds lawfully available therefor, up to all of such Holder’s Series A Preferred Shares
by delivering written notice thereof (“Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder”) to the Company, which Notice of Redemption
at Option of Holder shall indicate the number of Series A Preferred Shares that such Holder is electing to redeem. Redemptions required
by this Section 6 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.


 






    16


     


    

 


(e)            Payment
of Triggering Event Redemption Price. Upon the Company’s receipt of a Notice(s) of Redemption at Option of
Holder from any Holder, the Company shall as soon as practicable of such receipt notify each other Holder of the Company’s receipt
of such notice(s). The Company shall deliver to a Holder an amount in cash equal to the applicable Triggering Event Redemption Price by
wire transfer of immediately available funds on the third (3rd) Business Day after such Holder’s delivery of a Notice of Redemption
at Option of Holder to the Company; provided that upon a Bankruptcy Triggering Event, the Company shall deliver the applicable
Triggering Event Redemption Price in accordance with Section 6(c) (a “Triggering Event Redemption Date”).
To the extent redemptions required by this Section 6 are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments
of the Series A Preferred Shares by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Section 6, until the Triggering Event Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) is paid in full,
the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 6 (together with any interest thereon) may be (i) converted,
in whole or in part, by a Holder into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 5 and/or (ii) exchanged, in whole or in part,
by a Holder into Exchange Notes and Exchange Series B Warrants pursuant to Section 16. All Series A Preferred Shares converted
by a Holder after the delivery of a Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder pursuant to Section 5(c) or exchanged pursuant
to Section 16 shall reduce the Series A Preferred Shares required to be redeemed on the related Triggering Event Redemption
Date. The Holders and Company agree that in the event of the Company’s redemption of any Series A Preferred Shares under this
Section 6, the Holders’ damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict
future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holders. Accordingly,
any redemption premium due under this Section 6 is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the
Holders’ actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.


 


(f)            Disputes;
Miscellaneous. In the event of a dispute as to the determination of the arithmetic calculation of any Triggering Event Redemption
Price, such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 19 with the term “Redemption Price” being substituted for the
term “Conversion Rate”. A Holder’s delivery of a Void Optional Redemption Notice (as defined in Section 11(d))
and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued
prior to the date of such notice. In the event of a redemption pursuant to this Certificate of Designations of less than all of the Series A
Preferred Shares represented by a particular Series A Preferred Stock Certificate, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued
and delivered to the Holder of such Series A Preferred Shares a Series A Preferred Stock Certificate representing the remaining
Series A Preferred Shares which have not been redeemed, if necessary.


 






    17


     


    

 


(7)            Other
Rights of Holders and the Company.


 


(a)            Change
of Control Redemption Right. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control, the Company
shall deliver written notice thereof to each Holder (a “Change of Control Notice”) setting forth a description of such
transaction in reasonable detail and the anticipated Change of Control Redemption Date if then known. At any time during the period beginning
on the earliest to occur of (x) the public announcement of any oral or written agreement by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
upon consummation of which the transaction contemplated thereby would reasonably be expected to result in a Change of Control, (y) such
Holder’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice, and (z) the consummation of such transaction which results in a Change of Control,
and ending twenty-five (25) Trading Days after the date of the consummation of such Change of Control, such Holder may require the Company
to redeem (a “Holder Change of Control Redemption”), to the fullest extent permitted by law and out of funds lawfully
available therefor, all or any portion of such Holder’s Series A Preferred Shares by delivering written notice thereof (a “Holder
Change of Control Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Holder Change of Control Redemption Notice shall indicate the Conversion
Amount such Holder is electing to require the Company to redeem. Within ten (10) days before or after the applicable Change of Control,
the Company may redeem (a “Company Change of Control Redemption” and, together with a Holder Change of Control Redemption,
a “Change of Control Redemption”) all but not less than all of such Holder’s Series A Preferred Shares by
delivering written notice (a “Company Change of Control Redemption Notice” and, together with a Holder Change of Control
Redemption Notice, a “Change of Control Redemption Notice”) to the Holder, which Company Change of Control Redemption
Notice shall indicate the Conversion Amount the Company is electing to redeem; provided, that a Company Change of Control Redemption
shall only be permitted with respect to a Change of Control in which one hundred percent (100%) of the Equity Interests of the Company
is purchased for cash and/or Cash Equivalents (as defined in the Notes). If the Company elects to cause a Company Change of Control Redemption
pursuant to this Section 7(a), then it must simultaneously take the same action with respect to all Series A Preferred Shares
then outstanding. Any Series A Preferred Shares subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall be redeemed by
the Company in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds at a price equal to the sum of (A) the greater of (x) the
Conversion Amount of the Series A Preferred Shares being redeemed and (y) the product of (i) the Conversion Amount being
redeemed and (ii) the quotient determined by dividing (I) the highest Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock during
the period beginning on the date immediately preceding the public announcement of such Change of Control and ending on the date of such
Change of Control, by (II) the lowest Conversion Price in effect during such period, in addition to any and all other amounts due
hereunder and (B) the Make-Whole Amount (the “Change of Control Redemption Price”). The Company shall deliver
the Change of Control Redemption Price to each Holder concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control if such a Change of
Control Redemption Notice is received prior to the consummation of such Change of Control and within three (3) Business Days after
the delivery to the Company of such notice otherwise (the “Change of Control Redemption Date”). Redemptions required
by this Section 7(a) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 11 and shall have priority to payments
to stockholders in connection with a Change of Control. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 7(a) are deemed or
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Series A Preferred Shares by the Company, such redemptions
shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7(a), until the Change of Control
Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 7(a) (together
with any interest thereon) may be (i) converted, in whole or in part, by a Holder into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 5,
or in the event the Conversion Date is after the consummation of the Change of Control, shares or equity interests of the Successor Entity
substantially equivalent to the Common Stock pursuant to Section 5 and/or (ii) exchanged, in whole or in part, by a Holder into
Exchange Notes and Exchange Series B Warrants pursuant to Section 16. All Series A Preferred Shares converted by a Holder
after the delivery of a Change of Control Redemption Notice pursuant to Section 5(c) or exchanged pursuant to Section 16
shall reduce the Series A Preferred Shares required to be redeemed on the related Change of Control Redemption Date. The parties
hereto agree that in the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of the Series A Preferred Shares under this Section 7(a),
the Holders’ damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest
rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holders. Accordingly, any redemption
premium due under this Section 7(a) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holders’
actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.


 






    18


     


    

 


(b)            Assumption
and Corporate Events. Upon the occurrence or consummation of any Fundamental Transaction, and it shall be a required condition to
the occurrence or consummation of any Fundamental Transaction that, the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly
and severally, shall succeed to the Company, and the Company shall cause any Successor Entity or Successor Entities to jointly and severally
succeed to the Company, and be added to the term “Company” under this Certificate of Designations (so that from and after
the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, each and every provision of this Certificate of Designations referring
to the “Company” shall refer instead to each of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally),
and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally with the Company, may exercise every right and power of the Company
prior thereto and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall assume all of the obligations of the Company prior thereto under this
Certificate of Designations with the same effect as if the Company and such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally,
had been named as the Company in this Certificate of Designations. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder,
prior to the occurrence or consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock become entitled
to receive securities, cash, assets or other property with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate
Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that, and any applicable Successor Entity or Successor Entities
shall ensure that, and it shall be a required condition to the occurrence or consummation of such Corporate Event that, such Holder will
have the right to receive upon conversion of such Holder’s Series A Preferred Shares at any time after the occurrence or consummation
of such Corporate Event at its option upon surrender of such Holder’s Series A Preferred Shares upon the occurrence or consummation
of the Corporate Event, shares of common stock or capital stock of the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, or if so elected by the
Holder in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) such Holder is entitled to receive
upon the conversion of such Holder’s Series A Preferred Shares prior to such Corporate Event (but not in lieu of such items
still issuable under Sections 4 and 7(c), which shall continue to be receivable on the Common Stock or on such shares of stock, securities,
cash, assets or any other property otherwise receivable with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock), such shares of stock,
securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights and any shares
of Common Stock) which the Holders would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence or consummation of such Corporate Event or
the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Corporate Event, had such Holder’s Series A
Preferred Shares been converted immediately prior to such Corporate Event or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the
event resulting in such Corporate Event. Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Required Holders. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental
Transactions and Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Series A Preferred
Shares.


 






    19


     


    

 


(c)            Purchase
Rights. If at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock,
warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”),
then the Holders will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such
Holder could have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of such Holder’s
Series A Preferred Shares (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on conversions of the Series A Preferred Shares)
immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record
is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such
Purchase Rights.


 


(8)            Optional
Redemption at the Holder’s Election. At any time or times (i) during the period commencing on May 15, 2021 and ending
on August 15, 2021, inclusive, (ii) during the period commencing on May 15, 2022 and ending on August 15, 2022, inclusive,
(iii) during the period commencing on November 15, 2024 and ending on February 15, 2025, inclusive, and (iv) in the
event the Company fails to obtain Stockholder Approval on or prior to the Stockholder Meeting Deadline (each of the events described in
the immediately preceding clauses (i) through (iv), a “Holder Optional Redemption Trigger Event”); provided,
however, that in cases of the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) the Company shall have issued to the Buyers
less than $50,000,000 of aggregate principal amount of SPA Notes, each Holder shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion,
to require that the Company redeem (a “Holder Optional Redemption”), to the fullest extent permitted by law and out
of funds lawfully available therefor, all or any portion of the Conversion Amount of such Holder’s Series A Preferred Shares
then outstanding by delivering written notice thereof (a “Holder Optional Redemption Notice” and the date such Holder
delivers such notice to the Company, a “Holder Optional Redemption Notice Date”) to the Company which notice shall
state (i) the number of Series A Preferred Shares that is being redeemed by such Holder, (ii) the date on which such Holder
Optional Redemption shall occur, which date shall be the thirtieth (30th) day from the applicable Holder Optional Redemption Notice Date
(or, if such date falls on a day other than a Business Day, the next day that is a Business Day) (a “Holder Optional Redemption
Date”) and (iii) the wire instructions for the payment of the applicable Holder Optional Redemption Price (as defined below)
to such Holder. The portion of such Holder’s Series A Preferred Shares subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 8
shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to the product determined by multiplying (i) the applicable Holder Optional
Redemption Premium and (ii) the Conversion Amount being redeemed, including, without limitation, any accrued and unpaid Dividends
on such Conversion Amount and any accrued and unpaid Late Charges (as defined in Section 19(d)) on such Conversion Amount and Dividends,
if any, through the applicable Holder Optional Redemption Date (a “Holder Optional Redemption Price”). On the applicable
Holder Optional Redemption Date, the Company shall deliver or shall cause to be delivered to each Holder the applicable Holder Optional
Redemption Price in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to wire instructions provided by such Holder in writing
to the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8, until the applicable Holder Optional Redemption Price
is paid, in full, the Redemption Amount that is subject to the applicable Holder Optional Redemption may be (i) converted, in whole
or in part, by the Holders into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 5 and/or (ii) exchanged, in whole or in part, by
a Holder into Exchange Notes and Exchange Series B Warrants pursuant to Section 16. All Series A Preferred Shares converted
by a Holder after the delivery of a Holder Optional Redemption Notice pursuant to Section 5(c) or exchanged pursuant to Section 16
shall reduce the Series A Preferred Shares required to be redeemed on the Holder Optional Redemption Date. Holder Optional Redemptions
made pursuant to this Section 8 shall be made in accordance with Section 11. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 8
are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Series A Preferred Shares by the Company,
such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company’s redemption
of any portion of a Holder’s Series A Preferred Shares under this Section 8, such Holder’s damages would be uncertain
and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability
of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for such Holder.


 






    20


     


    

 


(9)            Mandatory
Redemption at Maturity. If any Series A Preferred Shares remain outstanding on the Maturity Date, the Company shall redeem such
Series A Preferred Shares in cash in an amount equal to the outstanding Conversion Amount for each such Series A Preferred Share
(the “Maturity Date Redemption Price”). The Company shall pay the Maturity Date Redemption Price on the Maturity Date
by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by such Holder. All redemptions shall be made on a
pro-rata basis to all holders of outstanding Series A Preferred Shares.


 


(10)            Redemption
at the Option of the Company. At any time during the period commencing on May 15, 2022 and ending on August 15, 2022, inclusive
(the “Company Optional Trigger Date”), so long as (i) the Company shall have issued to the Buyers less than $50,000,000
of aggregate principal amount of SPA Notes and (ii) there has been no Equity Conditions Failure during the period beginning on the
applicable Company Optional Redemption Notice Date (as defined below) through the applicable Company Optional Redemption Date (as defined
below), the Company shall have the right to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Conversion Amount then remaining under the Series A
Preferred Shares then outstanding (a “Company Optional Redemption Amount”) as designated in the applicable Company
Optional Redemption Notice on the applicable Company Optional Redemption Date (each as defined below) (a “Company Optional Redemption”).
The applicable Company Optional Redemption Amount shall be redeemed by the Company by delivery of the applicable Company Optional Redemption
Price on the applicable Company Optional Redemption Date in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to wire instructions
provided by the Holder in writing to the Company at a price equal to 115% of the Conversion Amount to be redeemed, including, without
limitation, any accrued and unpaid Dividends on such Conversion Amount and any accrued and unpaid Late Charges on such Conversion Amount
and Dividends, if any through the applicable Company Optional Redemption Date (a “Company Optional Redemption Price”).
The Company may exercise its right to require redemption under this Section 10 by delivering within five (5) Trading Days of
the Company Optional Trigger Date a written notice thereof to all, but not less than all, of the Holders (a “Company Optional
Redemption Notice” and the date all of the Holders receive such notice is referred to as a “Company Optional Redemption
Notice Date”). Each Company Optional Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable. Each Company Optional Redemption Notice shall (i) state
the date on which the applicable Company Optional Redemption shall occur (a “Company Optional Redemption Date”), which
date shall be the ninetieth (90th) day following the applicable Company Optional Redemption Notice Date; provided that if such
date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the next day that is a Business Day and (ii) state the aggregate Company Optional
Redemption Amount which the Company has elected to be subject to Company Optional Redemption from the Holders pursuant to this Section 10
on the applicable Company Optional Redemption Date and (iii) certify that there has been no Equity Conditions Failure on the applicable
Company Optional Redemption Notice Date. If the Company confirmed that there was no such Equity Conditions Failure as of the applicable
Company Optional Redemption Notice Date but an Equity Conditions Failure occurs between the applicable Company Optional Redemption Notice
Date and the applicable Company Optional Redemption Date (a “Company Optional Redemption Interim Period”), the Company
shall provide the Holders a subsequent written notice to that effect. If there is an Equity Conditions Failure during such Company Optional
Redemption Interim Period, then the applicable Company Optional Redemption shall be null and void with respect to all or any part designated
by such Holder of the applicable unconverted Company Optional Redemption Amount and such Holder shall be entitled to all the rights of
a Holder with respect to such applicable Company Optional Redemption Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10,
until the applicable Company Optional Redemption Price is paid, in full, the applicable Company Optional Redemption Amount may be (i) converted,
in whole or in part, by the Holders into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 5 and/or (ii) exchanged, in whole or in
part, by a Holder into Exchange Notes and Exchange Series B Warrants pursuant to Section 16. All Conversion Amounts converted
or exchanged by a Holder after the applicable Company Optional Redemption Notice Date shall reduce such Holder’s Company Optional
Redemption Amount required to be redeemed on the applicable Company Optional Redemption Date. Company Optional Redemptions made pursuant
to this Section 10 shall be made in accordance with Section 11. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 10 are
deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Series A Preferred Shares by the Company, such
redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company’s redemption
of any portion of the Series A Preferred Shares under this Section 10, the Holders’ damages would be uncertain and difficult
to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable
substitute investment opportunity for the Holders. For the avoidance of doubt, any Conversion Amount that is subject to a Conversion Notice
delivered to the Company may no longer be subject to a Company Optional Redemption even if the shares issuable upon such conversion have
not been delivered on or prior to the Company Optional Redemption Date. If the Company elects to cause a Company Optional Redemption pursuant
to this Section 10, then it must simultaneously take the same action in the same proportion with respect to all Series A Preferred
Shares to the extent practicable or, if the pro rata basis is not practicable for any reason, by lot or such other equitable method as
the Company determines in good faith.


 






    21


     


    

 


(11)            Redemptions.


 


(a)            General.
The Company shall pay the applicable Redemption Price on the applicable Redemption Date to each Holder in cash by wire transfer of immediately
available funds pursuant to wire instructions provided by such Holder in writing to the Company on the applicable due date. In the event
of a redemption of less than all of the Conversion Amount of a Holder’s Series A Preferred Shares, the Company shall promptly
cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder a new Series A Preferred Stock Certificate representing the outstanding Stated Value
which has not been redeemed and any accrued Dividend on such Stated Value and any accrued and unpaid Late Charges on such Stated Value
and Dividends, if any, which shall be calculated as if no Redemption Notice has been delivered. If the Company is unable to redeem all
of the Series A Preferred Shares submitted for redemption, the Company shall in addition to any remedy such Holder may have under
this Certificate of Designations, pay to each Holder interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (prorated for partial
months) in respect of each unredeemed Series A Preferred Share until paid in full.


 


(b)            Redemption
by Other Holders. Upon the Company’s receipt of notice from any Holder or holder of Notes, if any, for redemption or repayment
as a result of an event or occurrence substantially similar to the events or occurrences described in Section 6(b), Section 7(a) or
Section 8 or pursuant to analogous provisions set forth in the Notes (each, an “Other Redemption Notice”), the
Company shall promptly, but no later than one (1) Business Day of its receipt thereof, forward to each Holder a copy of such notice.
If the Company receives a Redemption Notice and one or more Other Redemption Notices, during the seven (7) Business Day period beginning
on and including the date which is three (3) Business Days prior to the Company’s receipt of such Holder’s Redemption
Notice and ending on and including the date which is three (3) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of a Holder’s
Redemption Notice and the Company is unable to redeem the entire Redemption Prices and such other amounts designated in such Redemption
Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received during such seven (7) Business Day period, then the Company shall redeem a pro
rata amount from each Holder and holder of Notes, if any, based on the Stated Value of the Series A Preferred Shares and principal
amount of Notes submitted for redemption pursuant to such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received by the Company
during such seven (7) Business Day period.


 






    22


     


    

 


(c)            Insufficient
Assets. If upon a Redemption Date, the assets of the Company are insufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price, the Company
shall redeem on such date, pro rata among the Holders and the Holders of Notes, if any, to be redeemed in proportion to the aggregate
number of Series A Preferred Shares then held by each such holder and principal amounts of Notes outstanding on the applicable Redemption
Date. Dividends on the Stated Value of the Series A Preferred Shares that have not been redeemed shall continue to accrue until such
time as the Company redeems such Series A Preferred Shares.


 


(d)            Void
Redemption. In the event that the Company does not pay a Redemption Price within the applicable time period, at any time thereafter
and until the Company pays such unpaid applicable Redemption Price in full, a Holder shall have the option to, in lieu of redemption,
require the Company to promptly return to such Holder any or all of the Series A Preferred Shares that were submitted for redemption
by such Holder and for which the applicable Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) has not been paid, by sending written
notice thereof to the Company (the “Void Optional Redemption Notice”). Upon the Company’s receipt of such Void
Optional Redemption Notice, (i) the Redemption Notice of Holder shall be null and void with respect to those Series A Preferred
Shares subject to the Void Optional Redemption Notice and (ii) the Company shall immediately return any Series A Preferred Shares
subject to the Void Optional Redemption Notice. A Holder’s delivery of a Void Optional Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights
following such notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments of any amounts, including Late Charges, which
have accrued prior to the date of such notice with respect to the Conversion Amount subject to such notice.


 


(12)            Reservation
of Shares.


 


(a)            Reservation.
The Company shall at all times reserve out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock for
the Series A Preferred Shares equal to 130% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable with respect to the Series A
Preferred Shares. So long as any of Series A Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to reserve
and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series A
Preferred Shares, at least the number of shares of Common Stock specified above in this Section 12(a) as shall from time to
time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Series A Preferred Shares then outstanding, assuming that the Conversion
Price at the applicable date of determination shall be the Conversion Price through the Maturity Date (the “Required Reserve
Amount”). The initial number of shares of Common Stock reserved for conversions of the Series A Preferred Shares and for
exercises of the Warrants and each increase in the number of shares so reserved shall be allocated among the Holders and the holders of
the Warrants pro rata based on the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares
then outstanding and upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding (the “Authorized Share Allocation”). In the event
that a holder shall sell or otherwise transfer such holder’s Series A Preferred Shares or Warrants, each transferee shall be
allocated a pro rata portion of such holder’s Authorized Share Allocation with respect to such portion of Series A Preferred
Shares and/or Warrants sold or otherwise transferred. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to
hold any Series A Preferred Shares or Warrants shall be allocated to the Holders and the remaining holders of Warrants, pro rata
based on the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares then outstanding and
upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding.


 






    23


     


    

 


(b)            Insufficient
Authorized Shares. If at any time while any of the Series A Preferred Shares remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient
number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Series A
Preferred Shares at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”),
then the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized
shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Series A Preferred
Shares then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence
of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the
Company shall either (x) obtain the written consent of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized
shares of Common Stock and provide each stockholder with an information statement with respect thereto or (y) hold a meeting of its
stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the
Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit its stockholders’
approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause the Board to recommend to the stockholders that they approve
such proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if during any such time of an Authorized Share Failure, the Company is able to obtain the
written consent of a majority of the shares of its issued and outstanding Common Stock to approve the increase in the number of authorized
shares of Common Stock, the Company may satisfy this obligation by obtaining such consent and submitting for filing with the SEC an Information
Statement on Schedule 14C.


 


(13)            Voting
Rights. Each Holder shall be entitled to the whole number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which
such Holder’s Series A Preferred Shares would be convertible on the record date for the vote or consent of stockholders (without
regard to any limitations on conversion), and shall otherwise have voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the
Common Stock; provided, however, that the Required Holders, by written notice to the Company, may terminate the voting rights
set forth in this Section 13 effective at any time from and after the registration of the Series A Preferred Shares under the
Exchange Act and, provided, further that solely for the purposes of calculating the number of votes to which each Series A Preferred
Share is entitled, the Conversion Price shall be the higher of (i) the Conversion Price then in effect and (ii) $2.86 (as adjusted
for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction relating to the Common Stock occurring
after the Subscription Date). Each Holder shall be entitled to receive the same prior notice of any stockholders’ meeting as is
provided to the holders of Common Stock in accordance with the bylaws of the Company, as well as prior notice of all stockholder actions
to be taken by legally available means in lieu of a meeting, and shall vote as a class with the holders of Common Stock as if they were
a single class of securities upon any matter submitted to a vote of stockholders, except those matters required by law or by the terms
hereof to be submitted to a class vote of the Holders, in which case the Holders only shall vote as a separate class.


 






    24


     


    

 


(14)            Equal
Treatment of Holders. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any of the Holders to amend or waive or modify any provision of
the Series A Preferred Shares, unless the same consideration (other than the reimbursement of legal fees) is also offered to all
of the Holders. This provision constitutes a separate right granted to each of the Holders by the Company and shall not in any way be
construed as the Holders acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of securities or otherwise.


 


(15)            No
Dilutive Issuances. Until all of the Series A Preferred Shares have been converted, redeemed or otherwise satisfied in accordance
with their terms, the Company shall not, and the Company shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, without the prior written consent
of the Required Holders, directly or indirectly, effect a Dilutive Issuance (but excluding shares of Common Stock deemed to have been
issued or sold by the Company (as determined pursuant to Section 5(g)) in connection with any Permitted Securities) on or prior to
the date that is ninety (90) days following the Stockholder Meeting Deadline.


 


(16)            Exchange.
From and after the consummation of an Additional Closing any Holder may, in its sole and absolute discretion, exchange (an “Exchange”)
all or any portion of such Holder’s Series A Preferred Shares (the Stated Value of the Series A Preferred Shares elected
to be exchanged by such Holder, the “Exchange Amount”), without any additional consideration, for (i) Senior Secured
Notes of the Company in the form attached as Exhibit B to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Exchange Notes”)
and (ii) Series B Warrants to purchase Common Stock in the form attached as Exhibit C-2 to the Securities Purchase Agreement
(the “Exchange Series B Warrants”). In the event that such Holder exercises this right, the Company shall take
all actions necessary, advisable or reasonably requested by such Holder to cause such Exchange to be promptly consummated in favor of
such Holder, and to promptly issue such Exchange Notes and Exchange Series B Warrants. The Exchange Notes (i) shall be of like
tenor with the Notes issued on an Additional Closing pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, (ii) shall represent, as indicated
on the face of such new Exchange Note, the Exchange Amount, (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new
Exchange Note, which is the date of the issuance of the applicable Exchange Note, (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions
as the Notes issued on an Additional Closing pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, with respect
to its ranking and security interest, and (v) shall represent accrued and unpaid Interest and Late Charges (each as defined in the
Notes), if any, on the Principal (as defined in the Notes) and Interest of such Principal, equal to any accrued and unpaid Dividends and
Late Charges, if any, on the Stated Value and Dividends of the Series A Preferred Shares surrendered in such Exchange through the
date of the consummation of such Exchange. The Exchange Series B Warrants (i) shall be of like tenor with the Series B
Warrants issued on the Initial Closing (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement,
(ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such Exchange Series B Warrant, the right to purchase a number of Series B
Warrant Shares equal to the applicable Exchange Amount divided by the Conversion Price as in effect on the applicable date such Exchange
is consummated rounded up to the nearest whole number, (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant
which is the date of the issuance of the applicable Exchange Series B Warrants, and (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions
as the Series B Warrants issued on the Initial Closing pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. For the purposes of Rule 144,
the Company acknowledges and agrees that the holding period of any Exchange Note and Exchange Series B Warrants may be tacked onto
the holding period of the Series A Preferred Shares surrendered in such Exchange, and the Company agrees not to take a position contrary
to this Section 16. Following any such exchange pursuant to this Section 16, such Holder’s Series A Preferred Shares
shall remain outstanding in accordance with its terms as to all amounts payable hereunder that have not been exchanged for Exchange Notes
and Series B Warrants in the applicable Exchange, if any. Upon the consummation of an Exchange any shares of Common Stock reserved
with respect to the Series A Preferred Shares being exchanged shall become available for any shares of Common Stock issuable with
respect to the Exchange Series B Warrants issued in such Exchange.


 






    25


     


    

 


(17)            Vote
to Change the Terms of or Issue Series A Preferred Shares. In addition to any other rights provided by law, except where the
vote or written consent of the holders of a greater number of shares is required by law or by another provision of the Certificate of
Incorporation, the affirmative vote of the Required Holders at a meeting duly called for such purpose or the written consent without a
meeting of the Required Holders, voting together as a single class, shall be required before the Company may: (a) amend or repeal
any provision of, or add any provision to, the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws, or file any articles of amendment, certificate
of designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights of any series of preferred stock, if such action would adversely alter or
change the preferences, rights, privileges or powers of, or restrictions provided for the benefit of the Series A Preferred Shares,
regardless of whether any such action shall be by means of amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation or by merger, consolidation or
otherwise; (b) increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Shares;
(c) change, amend or waive any provision of the Certificate of Designations with respect to the Series A Preferred Shares or
(d) whether or not prohibited by the terms of the Series A Preferred Shares, circumvent a right of the Series A Preferred
Shares by merger, consolidation or otherwise. Any amendment or waiver to this Certificate of Incorporation made in conformity with the
provisions of this Section 18 shall be binding on all Holders. No such amendment or waiver shall be effective to the extent that
it applies to less than all of the Holders. No vote of any class of stock other than the Series A Preferred Shares shall be required
to change, amend or waive any provision of the Certificate of Designations with respect to the Series A Preferred Shares except as
required by law or by another provision of the Certificate of Incorporation,


 


(18)            Dispute
Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Weighted Average Price, Closing Bid Price or the Closing Sale
Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate, the Conversion Price or any Redemption Price, the Company shall pay the applicable
Redemption Price that is not disputed or shall instruct the Transfer Agent to issue to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock
that is not disputed, and the Company shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations within two (2) Business
Days of the delivery of the Conversion Notice or Redemption Notice or other event giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to
the applicable Holder. If such Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation within three (3) Business
Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to such Holder, then the Company shall, within two (2) Business
Days submit (a) the disputed determination of the Weighted Average Price, the Closing Bid Price or the Closing Sale Price to an independent,
reputable investment bank selected by such Holder and approved by the Company, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed, or (b) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate, Conversion Price or any Redemption Price to an independent,
outside accountant, selected by such Holder and approved by the Company, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed. The Company, at its expense, shall cause the investment bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations
or calculations and notify the Company and the applicable Holder of the results no later than five (5) Business Days from the time
it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or calculation,
as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error.


 






    26


     


    

 


(19)            General
Provisions.


 


(a)            In
addition to the above provisions with respect to Series A Preferred Shares, such Series A Preferred Shares shall be subject
to and be entitled to the benefit of the provisions set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company with respect to preferred
stock of the Company generally; provided, however, that in the event of any conflict between such provisions, the provisions
set forth in this Certificate of Designations shall control.


 


(b)            Any
Series A Preferred Shares which are converted, repurchased or redeemed in full shall be automatically be deemed cancelled and shall
not be reissued, sold or transferred.


 


(c)            Whenever
notice is required to be given under this Certificate of Designations, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in
accordance with Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.


 


(d)            Whenever
any payment of cash is to be made by the Company to any Person pursuant to this Certificate of Designations, such payment shall be made
in lawful money of the United States of America via wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by such Holder;
provided, that a Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may elect to receive a payment of cash in lawful money of the United
States of America by a check drawn on the account of the Company and sent via overnight courier service to such Person at such address
as previously provided to the Company in writing (which address, in the case of each of the Buyers, shall initially be as set forth on
the Schedule of Buyers attached to the Securities Purchase Agreement). Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Certificate
of Designations is due on any day which is not a Business Day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a Business
Day. Any amount due under the Transaction Documents which is not paid when due shall result in a late charge being incurred and payable
by the Company in an amount equal to interest on such amount at the rate of six percent (6.0%) per annum from the date such amount was
due until the same is paid in full (“Late Charge”).


 






    27


     


    

 


(e)            To
the extent permitted by law, the Company hereby waives demand, notice, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the
delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Certificate of Designations.


 


(20)            Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. This Certificate of Designations shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with,
and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Certificate of Designations shall be governed
by, the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether
of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the
State of Delaware. The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The
City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction
contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any
claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient
forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. The Company hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process
and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to the Company at the address set
forth in Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any
manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Holders from bringing suit or taking other
legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to the Holders, to realize on
any collateral or any other security for such obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of the Holders. THE
COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE
HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.


 


(21)            Lost
or Stolen Certificates. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction
or mutilation of any Series A Preferred Stock Certificates representing the Series A Preferred Shares, and, in the case of loss,
theft or destruction, of an indemnification undertaking by such Holder to the Company in customary form (but without any obligation to
post a surety or other bond) and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Series A Preferred Stock Certificate(s),
the Company shall execute and deliver new preferred stock certificate(s) of like tenor and date within five (5) Business Days
of receipt of such evidence.


 






    28


     


    

 


(22)            Remedies,
Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designations
and any of the other Transaction Documents shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Certificate
of Designations, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief). No remedy contained
herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s
right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designations. The Company
covenants to each Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts
set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion, redemption and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be
the amounts to be received by such Holder thereof and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation
of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable
harm to the Holders and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event
of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holders shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction
restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.


 


(23)            Construction;
Headings. This Certificate of Designations shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all Buyers and shall not be construed
against any Person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Certificate of Designations are for convenience of reference and shall
not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Certificate of Designations.


 


(24)            Failure
or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of a Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further
exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.


 


(25)            Transfer
of Series A Preferred Shares. Each Holder may offer, sell, assign or transfer all or any portion of such Holder’s Series A
Preferred Shares, the accompanying rights thereunder and shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the terms hereof without the consent
of the Company, subject only to the provisions of Section 2(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Holders shall have such
right to transfer and to exercise rights with respect to fractional Series A Preferred Shares and any redemptions of Series A
Preferred Shares by the Company shall be made calculating the number of applicable Series A Preferred Shares to one-ten thousandth
of a Series A Preferred Share.


 


(26)            Series A
Preferred Share Register. The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of
the Company as it may designate by notice to the Holders), a register for the Series A Preferred Shares, in which the Company shall
record the name and address of the persons in whose name the Series A Preferred Shares have been issued, as well as the name and
address of each transferee. The Company may treat the person in whose name any Series A Preferred Share is registered on the register
as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but in all events recognizing any properly
made transfers.


 






    29


     


    

 


(27)            Stockholder
Matters. Any stockholder action, approval or consent required, desired or otherwise sought by the Company pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Principal Market, the DGCL, this Certificate of Designations or otherwise with respect to the issuance of the Series A
Preferred Shares or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof may be effected by written consent of the Company’s stockholders
or at a duly called meeting of the Company’s stockholders, all in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the
Principal Market and the DGCL. This provision is intended to comply with the applicable sections of the DGCL permitting stockholder action,
approval and consent affected by written consent in lieu of a meeting.


 


(28)            Disclosure.
Except if an individual affiliated with such Holder serves on the Board, including pursuant to the Governance Agreement, upon receipt
or delivery by the Company of any notice in accordance with the terms of this Certificate of Designations, unless the Company has in good
faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or
its Subsidiaries, the Company shall contemporaneously with any such receipt or delivery publicly disclose such material, nonpublic information
on a Current Report on Form 8-K or otherwise. In the event that the Company believes that a notice contains material, nonpublic information
relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Company so shall indicate to such Holder contemporaneously with delivery of such notice,
and in the absence of any such indication, such Holder shall be allowed to presume that all matters relating to such notice do not constitute
material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries.


 


(29)            Independent
Nature of Holders’ Obligations and Rights. The rights and obligations of each Holder under any Transaction Document
are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Holder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance
of the obligations of any other Holder under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document,
and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute such Holder as a partnership, an association,
a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with
respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Holder shall be entitled to independently
protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Certificate of Designations or out of any
other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding
for such purpose.


 


(30)            Payment
of Collection, Enforcement and Other Costs. If (a) any Series A Preferred Shares of a Holder is placed in the hands of an
attorney for collection or enforcement or is collected or enforced through any legal proceeding or a Holder otherwise takes action to
collect amounts due under such Holder’s Series A Preferred Shares or to enforce the provisions of such Series A Preferred
Shares or (b) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of the Company or other proceedings affecting Company creditors’
rights and involving a claim under a Holder’s Series A Preferred Shares, then the Company shall pay the costs incurred by such
Holder for such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding,
including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and disbursements.
