AMENDED
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT


 


This
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of January 31, 2019, by and between by and between Adamas
One Corp., a Nevada corporation, with headquarters located at 10645 N. Tatum Road, Phoenix, Arizona 85028 (“Adamas”),
and SCIO Diamond Technology Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“SCIO”). Capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Amended Asset Purchase Agreement by and between the parties
hereto, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Purchase
Agreement”). This Amended Agreement amends, supersedes and replaces the Registration Rights Agreement entered into between
the parties dated as of November 30, 2018 in its entirety.


 


WHEREAS:


 


A.       In
connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, (i) Adamas has agreed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase
Agreement, to issue SCIO One Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand (1,250,000) shares of Adamas’ common stock (the “Common
Stock”), par value $0.001 per share.


 


B.       To
induce SCIO to execute and deliver the Purchase Agreement, Adamas has agreed to provide certain registration rights under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any similar successor statute (collectively, the “Securities
Act”), and applicable state securities laws.


 


NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Adamas and SCIO hereby agree as follows:


 


1.           DEFINITIONS.


 


As
used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:


 


a.       “Person”
means any individual or entity including but not limited to any corporation, a limited liability company, an association, a partnership,
an organization, a business, an individual, a governmental or political subdivision thereof or a governmental agency.


 


b.       “Register”,
“registered”, and “registration” refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing one or
more registration statements of Adamas in compliance with the Securities Act and/or pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or
any successor rule providing for offering securities on a continuous basis (“Rule 415”), and the declaration or ordering
of effectiveness of such registration statement(s) by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).


 


c.       “Registrable
Securities” means 900,000 shares of Common stock and any shares of common stock issued to SCIO as a result of any stock split,
stock dividend, recapitalization, exchange or similar event or otherwise with respect thereto.



    1


     


    

d.       “Registration
Statement” means one or more registration statements of Adamas covering only the sale of the Registrable Securities.


 


2.           REGISTRATION.


 


a.       Mandatory
Registration. Adamas shall, upon SCIO’s written request at any time after the date of the Closing under the Purchase Agreement,
file, within ninety (90) calendar days, with the SEC an initial Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities as shall be
permitted to be included thereon in accordance with applicable SEC rules, regulations and interpretations so as to permit the resale
or other distribution of such Registrable Securities by SCIO, including but not limited to under Rule 415 under the Securities Act at
then prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices), as mutually determined by both Adamas and SCIO in consultation with their respective
legal counsel, subject to the aggregate number of authorized shares of Adamas’ Common Stock then available for issuance in its
Articles of Incorporation. The initial Registration Statement shall register only Three Hundred Thousand (300,000) of the Registrable
Securities for resale and distribution; the remaining Six Hundred Thousand (600,000) shares shall be subject to Section 2.c. below and
the Lock-Up/Leak Out provisions set forth on Addendum A attached hereto. SCIO and its counsel shall have a reasonable opportunity to
review and comment upon such Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement and any related prospectus
prior to its filing with the SEC, and Adamas shall give due consideration to all reasonable comments. SCIO shall furnish all information
reasonably requested by Adamas for inclusion therein. Adamas shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement
and any amendment declared effective by the SEC at the earliest possible date. Adamas shall use reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration
Statement effective, including but not limited to pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act and available for the resale
by anyone acquiring from SCIO all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby at all times until the earlier of (i) the date as of
which such acquiror may sell all of the Registrable Securities without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
and (ii) the date on which such acquirer shall have sold all the Registrable Securities covered thereby and no Available Amount remains
under the Purchase Agreement (the “Registration Period”). The Registration Statement (including any amendments or
supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they
were made, not misleading.


 


b.       Rule
424 Prospectus. Adamas shall, as required by applicable securities regulations, from time to time file with the SEC, pursuant to
Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, the prospectus and prospectus supplements, if any, to be used in connection with sales
of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement. SCIO and its counsel shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and
comment upon such prospectus prior to its filing with the SEC, and Adamas shall give due consideration to all such comments. SCIO shall
use its reasonable best efforts to comment upon such prospectus within one (1) Business Day from the date SCIO receives the pre-filing
version of such prospectus.



    2


     


    

c.       Additional
Registration Statements. At SCIO’s request, Adamas shall file new Registration Statements (“New Registration Statements”),
so as to cover any such remaining Registrable Securities (up to 900,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate), (subject to the limitations
set forth in Section 2(a)) in accordance with the following: (i) no earlier than the nine month anniversary of the filing of the
initial Registration Statement, file a New Registration Statement covering an additional Three Hundred Thousand (300,000) shares of common
stock, and (ii) no earlier than the fifteen month anniversary of the filing of the initial Registration Statement, file a New Registration
Statement covering the remaining Three Hundred Thousand (300,000) shares of common stock. Subject to any limits that may be imposed by
the SEC pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, Adamas shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause New Registration Statement(s)
to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof. Unless the Registration Period has ended, in the event that
any of the shares of Common Stock are not included in the Registration Statements, or have not been included in any New Registration
Statement and Adamas files any other registration statement under the Securities Act (other than on Form S-4, Form S-8, or with respect
to other employee related plans or rights offerings) (“Other Registration Statement”) then Adamas shall include in
such Other Registration Statement first all of such shares of Common stock that have not been previously registered, and second any other
securities Adamas wishes to include in such Other Registration Statement.


 


d.       Offering.
If the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) or the SEC seeks to characterize any offering pursuant to a Registration Statement
filed pursuant to this Agreement as constituting an offering of securities that does not permit such Registration Statement to become
effective and be used for resales by SCIO, or its distributees, under Rule 415 at then-prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices),
or if after the filing of the initial Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a), Adamas is otherwise required by the
Staff or the SEC to reduce the number of Registrable Securities included in such initial Registration Statement, then Adamas shall reduce
the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such initial Registration Statement (with the prior consent, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, of SCIO and its legal counsel as to the specific Registrable Securities to be removed therefrom) until such time
as the Staff and the SEC shall so permit such Registration Statement to become effective and be used as aforesaid. Unless the Registration
Period has ended, in the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this paragraph, Adamas shall file one or more New
Registration Statements in accordance with Section 2(c) until such time as all Registrable Securities have been included in Registration
Statements that have been declared effective and the prospectus contained therein is available for use by SCIO or its distributees. Notwithstanding
any provision herein or in the Purchase Agreement to the contrary, Adamas’s obligations to register Registrable Securities (and
any related conditions to SCIO’s obligations) shall be qualified as necessary to comport with any requirement of the SEC or the
Staff as addressed in this Section 2(d).



    3


     


    

3.           RELATED
OBLIGATIONS.


 


With
respect to the Registration Statement and whenever any Registrable Securities are to be registered pursuant to Section 2 including on
any New Registration Statement, Adamas shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities
in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, Adamas shall have the following obligations:


 


a.       Adamas
shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to any registration statement
and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated
under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement effective at all times
during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition
of all Registrable Securities of Adamas covered by the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement until such time as all
of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers
thereof as set forth in such registration statement.


 


b.       Adamas
shall permit SCIO to review and comment upon the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements
thereto at least two (2) Business Days prior to their filing with the SEC, and not file any document in a form to which SCIO reasonably
objects. SCIO shall use its reasonable best efforts to comment upon the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement and
any amendments or supplements thereto within two (2) Business Days from the date SCIO receives the final version thereof. Adamas shall
furnish to SCIO, without charge any correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to Adamas or its representatives relating to
the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement.


 


c.       Upon
request of SCIO, Adamas shall furnish to SCIO (in digital format if possible), (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with
the SEC, at least one copy of such registration statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules,
all documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any registration statement, a copy of
the prospectus included in such registration statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as
SCIO may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as SCIO may reasonably
request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by SCIO. For the avoidance of doubt,
any filing available to SCIO via the SEC’s live EDGAR system shall be deemed “furnished to SCIO” hereunder.


 


d.       As
promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event or facts, Adamas shall notify SCIO in writing of the happening of any event
or existence of such facts as a result of which the prospectus included in any registration statement, as then in effect, includes an
untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to
such registration statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver a copy of such supplement or amendment to SCIO
(or such other number of copies as SCIO may reasonably request). Adamas shall also promptly notify SCIO in writing (i) when a prospectus
or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a registration statement or any post-effective amendment
has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to SCIO by email or facsimile on the same day of such effectiveness
and by overnight mail), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any registration statement or related prospectus
or related information, and (iii) of Adamas’ reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a registration statement
would be appropriate.



    4


     


    

e.       Adamas
shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of any registration
statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or
suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify SCIO of the
issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such
purpose.


 


f.       Adamas
shall (i) cause all the Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series
issued by Adamas are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange,
or (ii) secure designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities on the OTC market. Adamas shall pay all fees and expenses
in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section.


 


g.       Adamas
shall cooperate with SCIO to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing
the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to any registration statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations
or amounts as SCIO may reasonably request and registered in such names as SCIO may request.


 


h.       Adamas
shall at all times provide a transfer agent and registrar with respect to its Common Stock.


 


i.       If
reasonably requested by SCIO, Adamas shall (i) immediately incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information
as SCIO believes should be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation,
information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms
of the offering of the Registrable Securities; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment
as soon as practicable upon notification of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;
and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any registration statement.


 


j.       Adamas
shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by any registration statement to be registered with
or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable
Securities.



    5


     


    

k.       Within
three (3) Business Days after any registration statement which includes the Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, Adamas
shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for Adamas to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies
to SCIO) confirmation that such registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC. Thereafter, if requested by SCIO at any
time, Adamas shall require its counsel to deliver to SCIO a written confirmation whether or not the effectiveness of such registration
statement has lapsed at any time for any reason (including, without limitation, the issuance of a stop order) and whether or not the
registration statement is current and available to SCIO for sale of all of the Registrable Securities.


 


l.       Adamas
shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by SCIO of Registrable Securities pursuant to
any registration statement.


 


4.           OBLIGATIONS
OF SCIO.


 


a.       Adamas
shall notify SCIO in writing of the information Adamas reasonably requires from SCIO in connection with any registration statement hereunder.
SCIO shall furnish to Adamas such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition
of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and
shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as Adamas may reasonably request.


 


b.       SCIO
agrees to cooperate with Adamas as reasonably requested by Adamas in connection with the preparation and filing of any registration statement
hereunder.


 


c.       SCIO
agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from Adamas of the happening of any event or existence of facts of the kind described in Section
3(e) or the first sentence of 3(d), SCIO will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any registration
statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until SCIO’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus
contemplated by Section 3(e) or the first sentence of 3(d). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Adamas shall cause its transfer
agent to promptly deliver shares of Common Stock without any restrictive legend in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement
in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which SCIO has entered into a contract for sale prior to SCIO’s
receipt of a notice from Adamas of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(e) or the first sentence of Section
3(d) and for which SCIO has not yet settled.


 


5.           EXPENSES
OF REGISTRATION.


 


All
reasonable expenses, other than sales or brokerage commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications
pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting
fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for Adamas, shall be paid by Adamas.



    6


     


    

6.           INDEMNIFICATION.


 


a.       To
the fullest extent permitted by law, Adamas will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend SCIO, each Person, if any, who
controls SCIO, the members, the directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives of SCIO and each Person, if any, who
controls SCIO within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)
(each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges,
costs, attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”) incurred
in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing
by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether
or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become
subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement
or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities
or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue Sky Filing”),
or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the final prospectus (as amended
or supplemented, if Adamas files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state
therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein
were made, not misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged violation by Adamas of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law,
including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement or (iv) any material violation by Adamas of this
Agreement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, “Violations”). Adamas shall
reimburse each Indemnified Person promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other
reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person
arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information about SCIO furnished in writing
to Adamas by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, any New Registration
Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by Adamas pursuant to Section
3(c) or Section 3(e); (ii) with respect to any superseded prospectus, shall not inure to the benefit of any such person from whom the
person asserting any such Claim purchased the Registrable Securities that are the subject thereof (or to the benefit of any person controlling
such person) if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the superseded prospectus was corrected in the revised
prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such revised prospectus was timely made available by Adamas pursuant to Section 3(c)
or Section 3(e), and the Indemnified Person was promptly advised in writing not to use the incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving
rise to a violation and such Indemnified Person, notwithstanding such advice, used it; (iii) shall not be available to the extent such
Claim is based on a failure of SCIO to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by Adamas, if such prospectus
was timely made available by Adamas pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); and (iv) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement
of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of Adamas, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and
shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by SCIO pursuant to Section 9.



    7


     


    

b.       Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding
(including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in
respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice
of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party
so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually
satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that
an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the
indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of
the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests
between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such
action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified
Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying
party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effectuated without its written consent, provided, however,
that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the
consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise
which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified
Person of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the
indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties,
firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying
party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability
to defend such action.



    8


     


    

c.       The
indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation
or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages am incurred.


 


d.       The
indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified
Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.


 


7.           CONTRIBUTION.


 


To
the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum
contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise he liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law;
provided, however, that: (i) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds
received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.


 


8.           REPORTS
AND DISCLOSURE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACTS.


 


With
a view to making available to SCIO the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation
of the SEC that may at any time permit SCIO to sell securities of Adamas to the public without registration (“Rule 144”),
Adamas agrees, at Adamas’s sole expense, to:


 


a.       make
and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;


 


b.       use
reasonable efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of Adamas under the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act so long as Adamas becomes subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required
for the applicable provisions of Rule 144;


 


c.       furnish
to SCIO so long as SCIO owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by Mamas that it has complied with
the reporting and or disclosure provisions of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual
or quarterly report of Adamas and such other reports and documents so filed by Adamas, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably
requested to permit SCIO to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration; and



    9


     


    

d.       take
such additional action as is requested by SOO to enable SCIO to sell the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144, including, without
limitation, delivering all such legal opinions, consents, certificates, resolutions and instructions to Adamas’ Transfer Agent
as may be requested from time to time by SOO and otherwise fully cooperate with SCIO and SCIO’s broker to effect such sale of securities
pursuant to Rule 144.


 


9.           ASSIGNMENT
OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.


 


Adamas
shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of SCIO. SCIO may not assign,
other than to its distributees, its rights under this Agreement without the written consent of Adamas.


 


10.           AMENDMENT
OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.


 


No
provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived by the parties from and after the date that is one Business Day immediately preceding
the initial filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, no provision of this Agreement
may be (i) amended other than by a written instrument signed by both parties hereto or (ii) waived other than in a written instrument
signed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this
Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof.


 


11.           MISCELLANEOUS.


 


a.       A
Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns or is deemed to own of record such Registrable Securities.
If Adamas receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities,
Adamas shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities.


 


b.       Any
notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing
and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile or
email (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party); or (iii)
one (1) Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in each case properly addressed to the party
