Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, except as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto and except that unaudited financial statements may not contain all footnotes required by

of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial, year-end audit adjustments.

There is no action, suit, inquiry, notice of violation, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties before or by any
court, arbitrator, governmental or administrative agency or regulatory authority (federal, state, county, local or foreign) (collectively, an “Action”), which (i) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or
enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents or the Securities, or (ii) could, if there were an unfavorable decision, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor to
the knowledge of the Company any director or officer thereof, is or has been the subject of any Action involving a claim of violation of or liability under federal or state securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty. There has not been,
and to the knowledge of the Company, there is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the SEC involving the Company or any current or former director or officer of the Company. The SEC has not issued any stop order or other order
suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company or any Subsidiary under the Exchange Act or the Act. 

(k) Labor Relations. No material labor dispute exists or, to the knowledge of the Company, is imminent with respect to any
of the employees of the Company, which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (l)
Compliance. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary (i) is in default under or in violation of (and no event has occurred that has not been waived that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a default by the Company or
any Subsidiary under), nor has the Company or any Subsidiary received notice of a claim that it is in default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or

rule or regulation of any governmental authority, including without limitation all foreign, federal, state and local laws applicable to its business except in each case as could not have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(m) Regulatory Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the
appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports, except where the failure to possess such permits could not, individually or in the aggregate, have
or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (“Material Permits”), and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any Material
Permit. 
  

 14 








 (n) Title to Assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable
title in fee simple to all real property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries and good and marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company and the
Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for Liens as do not materially affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and the
Subsidiaries and Liens for the payment of federal, state or other taxes, the payment of which is neither delinquent nor subject to penalties. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and the Subsidiaries are held by them

 (o)
Patents and Trademarks. The Company and the Subsidiaries have, or have rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and other similar rights that are
necessary or material for use in connection with their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports and which the failure to so have could have a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”).
Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a written notice that the Intellectual Property Rights used by the Company or any Subsidiary violates or infringes upon the rights of any Person. To the knowledge of the Company, all such
Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights of the Company. 

(p) Insurance. The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such
losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged, including but not limited to directors and officers insurance coverage at least equal to the Maximum
Placement. To the best of Company’s knowledge, such insurance contracts and policies are accurate and complete. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage
as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business without a significant increase in cost. 

(q) Transactions With Affiliates and Employees. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, none of the officers or directors

consulting fees for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company and (iii) for other employee benefits, including stock option agreements under any stock option plan of the Company.

 (r) Sarbanes-Oxley; Internal Accounting Controls. The Company is in material
compliance with all provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which are applicable to it as of the date of the Commitment Closing. The Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide
reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with
GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing
assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and designed
such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its Subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the
Company’s most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act, as the case may be, is being prepared. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures as of the date
prior to the filing date of the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions
of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant
changes in the Company’s internal controls (as such term is defined in Item 307(b) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) or, to the Company’s knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s internal
controls. 
 (s) Certain Fees. Except for payment of the Commitment Fee, no brokerage or finder’s fees or
commissions are or will be payable by the Company to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Investor shall have
no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons, as a result of agreements made by the Company or its officers or directors, for fees of a type contemplated in this
Section 4.1(s) that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 (t)
Investment Company. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Securities, will not be or be an Affiliate of, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment Company Act. 

(u) Registration Rights. No Person has any right to cause the Company to effect the registration under the Act of any
securities of the Company. 
  

 16 








 (v) Listing and Maintenance Requirements. The Common Stock is registered
pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and the Company has taken no action designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act nor has the
Company received any notification that the SEC is contemplating terminating such registration. The Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the Effective Date, received notice from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been
listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in
compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements. 
 (w) Application of Takeover Protections. The
Company and its Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti
takeover provision under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to Investor as a result of Investor and the Company fulfilling their
obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation the Company’s issuance of the Securities and Investor’s ownership of the Securities. 

(x) Disclosure. The Company confirms that, except with respect to the information that will be, and to the extent that it
timely is, publicly disclosed pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(i)(E), neither the Company nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided Investor or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes or might constitute
material, non-public information including without limitation in the Disclosure Schedules. The Company understands and confirms that Investor will rely on the foregoing representations and covenants in effecting transactions in securities of the
Company. All disclosure provided to Investor regarding the Company, its business and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Schedules to this Agreement, furnished by or on behalf of the Company with respect to the representations and
warranties made herein are true and correct with respect to such representations and warranties and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or, when taken together, omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the
statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Investor makes or has made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 4.2 hereof. The Company understands and confirms that neither Investor nor any Affiliate of Investor shall have any duty of trust or confidence that is owed directly, indirectly,
or derivatively to the Company or the shareholders of the Company or to any other Person who is the source of material non-public information regarding the Company. 

(y) No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf
has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes
of the Act or which could violate any applicable stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of the Trading Market. 
  


 17 








 (z) Financial Condition/Indebtedness. Based on the financial condition of the
Company as of the date of the Commitment Closing: (i) the fair saleable market value of the Company’s assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities
(including known contingent liabilities) as they mature; (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business for the current fiscal year as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including
its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof; and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together
with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its debt when such amounts are required to be
paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any facts or
circumstances, which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the date of the Commitment Closing. The SEC Reports set forth as of the
dates thereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.

 (aa) Tax Status. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has made or filed all federal, state and foreign
income and all other tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject (unless and only to the extent that the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has set aside on its books provisions reasonably adequate for
the payment of all unpaid and unreported taxes) and has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations, except those being contested
in good faith and has set aside on its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount
claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company know of no basis for any such claim. The Company has not executed a waiver with respect to the statute of limitations relating to the assessment or
collection of any foreign, federal, statue or local tax. None of the Company’s tax returns is presently being audited by any taxing authority. 

(bb) Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company, nor to the knowledge of the Company, any agent or other person acting
on behalf of the Company, has (i) directly or indirectly, used any corrupt funds for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) made any unlawful

  

 18 








 
payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any
contribution made by the Company (or made by any person acting on its behalf of which the Company is aware) which is in violation of law, or (iv) violated in any material respect any provision of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as
amended. 
 (cc) Acknowledgment Regarding Investor’s Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges and
agrees that Investor is acting solely in the capacity of arm’s length purchaser with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company further acknowledges that Investor is not acting as a financial advisor or
fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and any statement made by Investor or any of its representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby is not advice or a recommendation and is merely incidental to Investor’s purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to Investor that the Company’s decision to enter into this Agreement has
been based solely on the independent evaluation of the Company and its representatives. 
 (dd) Accountants. The
Company’s accountants are set forth in the SEC Reports. To the Company’s knowledge, such accountants are a registered public accounting firm as required by the Act. 

(ee) No Disagreements with Accountants and Lawyers. There are no disagreements of any kind presently existing, or
reasonably anticipated by the Company to arise, between the accountants and lawyers formerly or presently employed by the Company and the Company is current with respect to any fees owed to its accountants and lawyers. 

(ff) Registration Statements and Prospectuses. 

(i) The Registration Statement complies, and at all times during which a prospectus is required by the Act to be delivered in
connection with any sale of Preferred Stock or Warrant Shares, will comply, in all material respects, with the requirements of the Act. 

(ii) The Registration Statement, as of its effective time, did 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 not misleading. 
 (iii)
Each prospectus (within the meaning of the Act) related to the sale or offering of any Common Shares (“Prospectus”) will comply, as of its date and the date it will be filed with the SEC, and, at the time of the Preferred Stock
Closing Date, or issuance of any Warrant Shares, and at all times during which a prospectus is required by the Act to be delivered in connection with any issuance of Warrant Shares, will comply, in all material respects, with the requirements of the
Act. 
 (iv) At no time during the period that begins on the date a Prospectus is filed with the SEC and ends at the
time a prospectus is no longer required by the Act to be delivered in connection with any sale of Common Shares did or will any such Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances 
  

 19 








 
under which they were made, not misleading, and at no time during such period will such Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 

(v) The Company has not, directly or indirectly, used or referred to any “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule
405 under the Act) except in compliance with Rules 164 and 433 under the Act. 
 (vi) The Company is not an
“ineligible issuer” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Act) as of the eligibility determination date for purposes of Rules 164 and 433 under the Act with respect to the offering of the Common Shares contemplated by any Registration
Statement, without taking into account any determination by the SEC pursuant to Rule 405 under the Act that it is not necessary under the circumstances that the Company be considered an “ineligible issuer”. 

(ii) Investor’s Trading Activity. The Company understands and acknowledges that: (i) Investor has not been asked
by the Company to agree, nor has Investor agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling, long and/or short, securities of the Company or “derivative” securities based on securities issued by the Company, or to hold the Securities for any
specified term; (ii) past or future open market or other transactions by Investor, specifically including, without limitation, short sales or “derivative” transactions, before or after the Closing, may negatively impact the market
price of the Company’s publicly-traded securities; (iii) Investor and counter-parties in “derivative” transactions to which Investor is a party, directly or indirectly, presently may have a “short” position in the
Common Stock; (iv) Investor shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counter-party in any “derivative” transaction; (v) Investor may engage in hedging activities at various times
during the period that the Securities are outstanding, including, without limitation, during the periods that the value of the Warrant Shares deliverable with respect to Securities are being determined; (vi) such hedging activities (if any)
could reduce the value of the existing stockholders’ equity interests in the Company at and after the time that the hedging activities are being conducted; and (vii) the aforementioned hedging activities do not and will not constitute a
breach of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents.

ARTICLE 5 

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES 

5.1 Issuance of Securities. All of the Securities shall be issued free of restrictive legends. The Company agrees, if
requested by Investor or the transfer agent, to promptly provide at the Company’s expense a legal opinion of counsel to the Company confirming this. The Company further acknowledges and agrees that Investor may from time to time pledge pursuant
to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Act and who
agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, Investor may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to
approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At Investor’s reasonable expense, the Company
will execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities. 

5.2 Furnishing of Information. As long as Investor owns Securities, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain
extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the Effective Date pursuant to the Exchange Act. Upon the request of Investor, the Company shall deliver to Investor a
written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with the preceding sentence. As long as Investor owns Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to such laws, it will prepare and furnish to
Investor and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for Investor to sell the Securities under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Securities
may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell such Securities without registration under the Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144. 

5.3 Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of
any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Act of the sale of the Securities to Investor or that would be
integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require stockholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless stockholder approval is
obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.

otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any such press release of Investor, or without the prior consent of Investor, with respect to any such press release of the Company, which consent
shall not unreasonably be withheld, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of Investor, or include the name of Investor in any filing with the SEC or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of Investor, except (i) as required by

 5.5 Shareholders Rights
Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, to the knowledge of the Company, any other Person that Investor is an “Acquiring Person” under any shareholders rights plan or similar plan or arrangement in effect or
hereafter adopted by the Company, or that Investor could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and
Investor. The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 

5.6 Non-Public Information. The Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf will
provide Investor or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto Investor shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such

5.7 Reimbursement. If Investor becomes involved in any capacity in any proceeding by or against any Person who is a
stockholder of the Company (except as a result of sales, pledges, margin sales and similar transactions by Investor to or with any current stockholder), solely as a result of Investor’s acquisition of the Securities under this Agreement, the
Company will reimburse Investor for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation preparation and travel in connection therewith) incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses are incurred, or will assume the
defense of Investor in such matter. The reimbursement obligations of the Company under this Section 5.7 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to any
Affiliates of Investor who are actually named in such action, proceeding or

benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Company, Investor and any such Affiliate and any such Person. The Company also agrees that neither Investor nor any such Affiliates, partners, directors, agents, employees
or controlling persons shall have any liability to the Company or any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the Company solely as a result of acquiring the Securities under this Agreement. 

5.8 Indemnification of Investor. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.8, the Company will

Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Investor Parties” and each an “Investor Party”), harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and
expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any Investor Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents, (b) any action instituted against any Investor Party, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any
stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of an Investor Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of Investor’s representations, warranties or
covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings Investor may have with any such stockholder or any violations by Investor of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by Investor which constitutes fraud, gross
negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance), (c) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement (or in a Registration Statement as amended by any post-effective amendment thereof by
the Company) or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and/or (d) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact included in any Prospectus ( or any amendments or supplements to any Prospectus ), in any free writing prospectus, in any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Act) of the Company, or in any
Prospectus together with any combination of one or more of the free writing prospectuses, if any, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 
 If any action shall be brought against an Investor
Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Investor Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing. The
Investor Parties shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Investor Parties except to the extent that
(i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the
reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict with respect to the dispute in question on any material issue between the 

 

 23 








 
position of the Company and the position of the Investor Parties such that it would be inappropriate for one counsel to represent the Company and the Investor Parties. The Company will not be
liable to the Investor Parties under this Agreement (i) for any settlement by an Investor Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (ii) to the extent, but only
to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is either attributable to Investor’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by Investor in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or is
a result of any information provided by Investor or its representatives to Company in writing for inclusion in the Registration Statement. 

5.9 Reservation of Securities. The Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock
for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents. 

5.10 Limited Standstill. The Company will deliver to Investor on or before the each Preferred Stock Closing Date and will
honor and will take reasonable actions to assist Investor in enforcing the provisions of the Lock-Up Agreements with the Company’s officers, directors and beneficial owners of 10% or more of the Common Stock. 

5.11 Issuance of Additional Securities. The Company shall not issue additional Common Stock or securities convertible into
Common Stock to any Person other than Investor, or an Investor Affiliate, if such issuance would reduce the number of remaining authorized shares of Common Stock that could be issued below the number of remaining authorized shares issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants, without previously amending its Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of duly authorized shares of Common Stock by at least the amount necessary to assume a sufficient number of shares to permit the exercise
of all outstanding Warrants. 
 5.12 Prospectus Availability and Changes. The Company will make available to
Investor upon request, and thereafter from time to time to furnish Investor, as many copies of any Prospectus (or of the Prospectus as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have made any amendments or supplements thereto after the effective
date of the applicable Registration Statement) as Investor may request for the purposes contemplated by the Act; and in case Investor is required to deliver a prospectus after the nine-month period referred to in Section 10(a)(3) of the Act in
connection with the sale of the Common Shares, or after the time a post-effective amendment to the applicable Registration Statement is required pursuant to Item 512(a) of Regulation S-K under the Act, the Company will prepare, at its expense,
promptly upon request such amendment or amendments to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as may be necessary to permit compliance with the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or Item 512(a) of Regulation S-K under the
Act, as the case may be. 
 The Company will advise Investor promptly of the happening of any event within the time during which
a Prospectus is required to be delivered under the Act which could require the making of any change in the Prospectus then being used so that the Prospectus would not include an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, and to advise Investor promptly if, during such period, it shall become necessary to amend or supplement any Prospectus
to cause such Prospectus to comply with the requirements of the Act, and in each case, during such time, to prepare and furnish, at the Company’s expense, to Investor promptly such amendments or supplements to such Prospectus as may be
necessary to reflect any such change or to effect such compliance.

 5.13 Activity Restrictions. For so long as Investor or any of its Affiliates
holds any Preferred Shares, Commitment Fee Shares, Warrant, Warrant Shares, or DWAC Shares, neither Investor nor any Affiliate will: (i) vote any shares of Common Stock owned or controlled by it, solicit any proxies, or seek to advise or
influence any Person with respect to any voting securities of the Company; (ii) engage or participate in any actions, plans or proposals which relate to or would result in (a) acquiring additional securities of the Company, alone or

merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving Company or any of its subsidiaries, (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (d) any change in the present board of directors or

(f) any other material change in the Company’s business or corporate structure, including but not limited to, if the Company is a registered closed-end investment company, any plans or proposals to make any changes in its investment policy
for which a vote is required by Section 13 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, (g) changes in the Company’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the
Company by any Person, (h) causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities
association, (i) a class of equity securities of the Company becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act, or (j) any action, intention, plan or arrangement similar to any of those
enumerated above; or (iii) request the Company or its directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives to amend or waive any provision of this Section 5.13. 

5.14 Required Approval. No transactions contemplated under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents shall be consummated
for an amount that would require approval by any Trading Market or Company stockholders under any approval provisions, rules or regulations of any Trading Market applicable to the Company, unless and until such approval is obtained. Company shall
use best efforts to obtain any required approval as soon as possible. 
 5.15 Investor Due Diligence. Investor
shall have the right and opportunity to conduct due diligence, at its own expense, with respect to any Registration Statement or Prospectus in which the name of Investor or any Affiliate of Investor appears. 

ARTICLE 6 

MISCELLANEOUS 

6.1 Fees and Expenses. Prior to the Effective Date, the Company shall have paid a $20,000.00 non-refundable document

Except as may be otherwise set forth in this Agreement, each party shall pay the fees and 
  

 25 








 
expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement. The Company acknowledges and agrees that Luce, Forward, Hamilton & Scripps LLP solely represents Investor, and does not represent the Company or its interests in connection with the Transaction Documents or

6.3 Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed, in
the case of an amendment, by the Company and Investor or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement
shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any
manner impair the exercise of any such right. 
 6.4 Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do
not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. 
 6.5
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the
prior written consent of Investor, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Investor may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to (a) any Affiliate, and (b) any Person to whom Investor assigns or transfers
any Securities, provided such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions hereof that apply to the “Investor”. 

6.6 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 5.8. 

 

 26 








 6.7 Governing Law; Dispute Resolution. All questions concerning the
construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law
thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its
respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City 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 (including with respect to the
enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), 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 improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding. 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 via registered
or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for 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. The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to
enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation
and prosecution of such action or proceeding. 
 6.8 Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein
shall survive the Closing and the delivery, exercise and/or conversion of the Securities, as applicable. 
 6.9
Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together 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 party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or in a PDF file by e-mail transmission, such signature shall create a
valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof. 

6.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity
and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor,
and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement. 
 6.11 Replacement of
Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and
substitution 
  

 27 








 
therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if
requested. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities. 

6.12 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery
of damages, each of Investor and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of
obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. Neither the Company nor Investor shall be liable for
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages suffered or alleged to be suffered by the other party or any third party, whether arising from or related to the Transaction Documents or otherwise. 

6.13 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to Investor pursuant to any Transaction
Document or Investor enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside,
recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or
equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such
enforcement or setoff had not occurred. 
 6.14 Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any
partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact
that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled. 

6.15 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity
to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any
amendments hereto. 
 6.16 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to all provisions of this
Agreement that specify a time for performance. 
 6.17 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with
the exhibits and schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, term sheets, communications, discussions and understandings, oral or written, which the parties acknowledge
have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules. Neither party has relied upon any agreement, promise or representation not expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents and each party agrees that it may only rely on the agreements,
promises and representations set forth therein.

 Exhibit A 

Form of Warrant 

International Stem Cell Corporation 

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK 

 

					
	 Warrant No.: 2010-01
	 		 	 Issuance Date: May 4, 2010

			
	 Number of Warrant Shares:
[                    ]
	 		 	 Initial Exercise Price:
[$            ]


 International Stem Cell
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Company”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Socius CG II, Ltd., the holder hereof or its designees or
assigns (“Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon surrender of this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any
Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the “Warrant”), at any time or times on or after the date hereof (the “Issuance Date”), but not after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on
the fifth anniversary of the Issuance Date (subject to acceleration under the terms of Section 3.2), that number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock set forth above, subject to adjustment as
set forth herein (the “Warrant Shares”). 
 This Warrant is issued pursuant to the Preferred Stock Purchase
Agreement dated May 4, 2010, by and among the Company and the investor referred to therein (the “Purchase Agreement”). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in
ARTICLE 13. 
 ARTICLE 1 

EXERCISE OF WARRANT. 
  

	 	1.1	Mechanics of Exercise. 


1.1.1    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the
Holder on any day on or after the Issuance Date, in whole or in part, by (i) delivery of a written notice to the Company, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s
election to exercise this Warrant and (ii) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise
Price”), with such payment made, at Investor’s option, in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, by the issuance and delivery of a recourse promissory note substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B
(each, a “Recourse Note”), or by cashless exercise pursuant to Section 1.3. 

1.1.2    The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an
exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase
the remaining number of Warrant Shares. 
  

 31 








 1.1.3     On the Trading Day on which the Company
has received each of the Exercise Notice and the Aggregate Exercise Price (the “Exercise Delivery Documents”) from the Holder by 6:30 p.m. Eastern time, or on the next Trading Day if the Exercise Delivery Documents are received
after 6:30 p.m. Eastern time or on a non-Trading Day (in each case, the “Exercise Delivery Date”), the Company shall transmit (i) a facsimile acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents to the
Holder, and (ii) an electronic copy of its share issuance instructions to the Holder and to the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), with such transmissions to comply with the notice provisions contained in
Section 6.2 of the Purchase Agreement, and shall instruct and authorize the Transfer Agent to credit such aggregate number of freely-tradable Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled to receive upon such exercise to the Holder’s or
its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company (DTC) through the Fast Automated Securities Transfer (FAST) Program through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (DWAC) system, with such credit to occur no later than 12:00
p.m. Eastern Time on the Trading Day following the Exercise Delivery Date, time being of the essence; provided, however, that if the Warrant Shares are not credited as DWAC Shares by 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Trading Day following
the Exercise Delivery Date, then the Preferred Stock Closing Date applicable to the Preferred Stock Notice shall be extended by one Trading Day for each Trading Day that timely credit of DWAC Shares is not made. 

1.1.4    Upon delivery of the Exercise Delivery Documents, the Holder shall be deemed for all
corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account. 

1.1.5    If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this
Section 1.1 and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no
event later than three Trading Days after any exercise and return of the previously issued Warrant and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 6.4) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but
rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this
Warrant. 
  

 32 








 1.2    Exercise Price. For purposes of this Warrant,
“Exercise Price” means an amount equal to the Closing Bid Price of a Share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Issuance Date per Warrant Share, subject to adjustment as provided herein. 

1.3    Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if at any time
there is not a current, valid and effective registration statement covering the Warrant Shares that are the subject of the Exercise Notice (the “Unavailable Warrant Shares”), the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this
Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net
Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”): 

Net Number = (B-C) x A 

                         
                 B 
 For purposes of the foregoing formula:

 A = the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised. 

B = the average of the Closing Bid Prices of the shares of Common Stock (as reported by Bloomberg) for the five (5) consecutive
Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice. 
 C = the Exercise Price then in effect
for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise. 
 1.4    Company’s
Failure to Timely Deliver Securities. If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to timely credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC, for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the
Holder’s exercise of this Warrant, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, (a) the Preferred Stock Closing Date applicable to the Preferred Stock Notice shall be extended by one Trading Day for each Trading Day
that timely credit of DWAC Shares is not made; and (b ) the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after such Trading Day that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock is not timely effected an amount equal to 1.5% of the product of
(A) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on a timely basis and to which the Holder is entitled and (B) the Closing Bid Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the
last possible date which the Company could have issued such shares of Common Stock to the Holder without violating Section 1.1. In addition to the foregoing, if the Company shall fail to timely credit the Holder’s balance account
with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder, and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock
to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated 

 

 33 








 
receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within one Trading Day after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either
(i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the
Company’s obligation to credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder and to issue such Warrant Shares shall terminate, or
(ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is
entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder and pay cash to the 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 sold by Holder in satisfaction of its
obligations, times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the date of exercise. 

1.5    Disputes. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the
arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 12. 

1.6    Exercise Limitation. Notwithstanding any other provision, at no time may the Holder exercise
this Warrant such that the number of Warrant Shares to be received pursuant to such exercise aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then owned by the Holder beneficially or deemed beneficially owned by the Holder would result in the Holder
owning more than 9.99% of all of such Common Stock as would be outstanding on the date of exercise, as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In addition, as of any
date, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable within 61 days, together with all other shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned (as such term is defined in Rule 13(d) under the Exchange Act) by
Holder and its affiliates, shall not exceed 9.99% of the total outstanding shares of Common Stock as of such date. 

1.7    Insufficient Authorized Shares. If at any time while any of the Warrants 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 exercise of the Warrants at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 110% of the number of
shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of all of the Warrants then outstanding (the “Required Reserve Amount”) (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall
immediately 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 Warrants 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 90 days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall 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 best efforts to solicit its
stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. 

 

 34 








 ARTICLE 2 

ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. 

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 Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be
proportionately increased. 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
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this ARTICLE 2 shall become effective at the
close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective. 
 ARTICLE 3 

PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS 

3.1    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 shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the
terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any
limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) 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. 

3.2    Fundamental Transactions. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental
Transaction unless the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.2 pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory
to the Required Holders and approved by the Required Holders prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to each Holder of this Warrant in exchange for such Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written
instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, an adjusted exercise price equal to the value for the shares of Common Stock reflected by the terms of such Fundamental Transaction, and
exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such
Fundamental Transaction, and satisfactory to the Required Holders. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the 
  


 35 








 
Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company”
shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the
Company herein. Upon consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental
Transaction, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any
other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been converted immediately prior to such
Fundamental Transaction, as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of
shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will
thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon
the exercise of this Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been
entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however that in the event the Fundamental Transaction involves the issuance of cash
or freely tradeable securities by an issuer listed on the New York Stock Exchange on the Nasdaq Stock Market, then the ability to exercise this Warrant shall expire on the consummation of that Fundamental Transaction. 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 3.2 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events and
shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant. 
 3.3    Purchase
of Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction other than one in which the Successor Entity is a Public Successor Entity that assumes this Warrant such that this Warrant shall be exercisable for the
publicly traded common stock of such Public Successor Entity, at the request of the Holder delivered before the 90th day after the effective date of such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or the Successor Entity) shall purchase this Warrant from
the Holder by paying to the Holder, within five (5) Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), cash in an amount equal to the value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant
on the date of such consummation, which value shall be determined by use of the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model using a volatility equal to the 100 day average historical price volatility prior to the date of the public announcement of such
Fundamental Transaction.

$[                    ]
	  	Date: [            ], 20    


FOR VALUE RECEIVED,
[                    ] (“Borrower”) promises to pay to the order of International Stem Cell Corporation
(“Lender”), at [            ], or at such other place as Lender may from time to time designate in writing, the principal sum of
$[            ], with interest, as follows: 

1.    Interest. The principal balance outstanding, from time to time, shall bear interest from and after the
date hereof at the rate of 2.0% per year, compounded annually. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of the number of days elapsed during the period for which interest is being calculated, compounded annually. Payments of interest
will be due on each annual anniversary of the date of this Note; provided that Borrower will not be in default hereunder for failure to make any annual interest payment when due (other than on the Maturity Date) and the amount of interest not paid
when due shall be added to the principal balance of this Note and such amount will thereafter accrue interest at the rate set forth above. 

2.    Payments. If not sooner paid, the entire unpaid principal balance, interest thereon and any other
charges due and payable under this Note shall be due and payable on the fourth anniversary of the date of this Note (“Maturity Date”); provided, however, that in no event shall this Note be due or payable at any time that
(a) Lender is in default of any loan agreement, equity investment agreement or instrument, or other material agreement including without limitation any preferred stock purchase agreement for Series F Preferred Stock with Borrower or any Warrant
issued pursuant thereto, or (b) subject to the following clause, there are any shares of Series F Preferred Stock of Lender issued or outstanding ; provided, further, that in the event that Lender redeems all or a portion of the
shares of Series F Preferred Stock then held by Borrower, then Borrower shall apply, and Lender shall offset, the proceeds of such redemption to pay down the accrued interest and outstanding principal of this Note. Borrower shall have the right to
prepay all or any part of the principal balance of this Note at any time without penalty or premium. All payments shall be first be applied to interest, then to reduce the outstanding principal. 

3.    Full Recourse Note. THIS IS A FULL RECOURSE PROMISSORY NOTE. Accordingly, notwithstanding that
Borrower’s obligations under this Note are secured by the Collateral, in the event of either (i) a payment default, or (ii) a material non-monetary default hereunder, Lender shall have full recourse to all the other assets of
Borrower. Moreover, Lender shall not be required to proceed against or exhaust any Collateral, or to pursue any Collateral in any particular order, before Lender pursues any other remedies against Borrower or against any of Borrower’s assets.

  

 1 









	 	4.	Security 


a.    Pledge. As security for the due and prompt payment and performance of all payment obligations under this
Note and any modifications, replacements and extensions hereof (collectively, “Secured Obligations”), Borrower hereby pledges and grants a security interest to Lender in all of Borrower’s right, title, and interest in and to
all of the following, now owned or hereafter acquired or arising (together the “Collateral”): 

i.    Publicly traded shares of common stock, preferred stock, bonds, notes and/or debentures (collectively,
“Pledged Securities”) with a fair market value on the date hereof at least equal to the principal amount of this Note, based upon the trading price of such securities on the Pink Sheets, OTC Bulletin Board, NASDAQ Capital Market,
NASDAQ Global Market, NASDAQ Global Select Market, NYSE Amex, or New York Stock Exchange; 
 ii.    all
rights of Borrower with respect to or arising out of the Pledged Securities, including voting rights, and all equity and debt securities and other property distributed or distributable with respect thereto as a result of merger, consolidation,
dissolution, reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, exchange, redemption, or other change in capital structure; and 

iii.    all proceeds, replacements, substitutions, accessions and increases in any of the Collateral. 

b.    Replacement Securities. In the event that Borrower sells or disposes of any Pledged Securities during
any period in which any principal balance of this Note remains outstanding, Borrower shall promptly provide replacement securities of equal or greater value. 

c.    Rights With Respect to Distributions. So long as no default shall have occurred and be continuing under
this Note, Borrower shall be entitled to receive any and all dividends and distributions made with respect to the Pledged Securities and any other Collateral. However, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any default, Lender shall have
the sole right (unless otherwise agreed by Lender) to receive and retain dividends and distributions and apply them to the outstanding balance of this Note or hold them as Collateral, at Lender’s election. 

d.    Voting Rights. So long as no default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Note, Borrower
shall be entitled to exercise all voting rights pertaining to the Pledged Securities and any other Collateral. However, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any default, all rights of Borrower to exercise the voting rights that Borrower
would otherwise be entitled to exercise with respect to the Collateral shall cease and (unless otherwise agreed by Lender) all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Lender, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such rights.

 e.    Financing Statement; Further Assurances. Borrower agrees, concurrently with executing this
Note, that Lender may file a UCC-1 financing statement relating to the 
  

 2 








 
Collateral in favor of Lender, and any similar financing statements in any jurisdiction in which Lender reasonably determines such filing to be necessary. Borrower further agrees that at any time
and from time to time Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents that Lender may request in order to perfect and protect the security interest granted hereby (including, following an event of default, delivery
of the Collateral to hold as secured party), or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies with respect to any Collateral following an event of default. 

f.    Powers of Lender. Borrower hereby appoints Lender as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact to
perform any and all of the following acts, which power is coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the Secured Obligations are paid and performed in full, and may be exercised from time to time by Lender in its discretion: To take any action
and to execute any instrument which Lender may deem reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 4(f) and, more broadly, this Note including, without limitation: (i) during the continuance of a
default hereunder, to exercise voting and consent rights with respect to Collateral in accordance with this Note, (ii) to receive, endorse and collect all instruments or other forms of payment made payable to Borrower representing any dividend,
interest payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same when and to the extent permitted by this Note, (iii) to perform or cause the performance of any obligation of
Borrower hereunder in Borrower’s name or otherwise, (iv) during the continuance of any default hereunder, to liquidate any Collateral pledged to Lender hereunder and to apply proceeds thereof to the payment of the Secured Obligations or to
place such proceeds into a cash collateral account or to transfer the Collateral into the name of Lender, all at Lender’s sole discretion, (v) to enter into any extension, reorganization or other agreement relating to or affecting the
Collateral, and, in connection therewith, to deposit or surrender control of the Collateral, (vi) to accept other property in exchange for the Collateral, (vii) to make any compromise or settlement Lender deems desirable or proper, and
(viii) to execute on Borrower’s behalf and in Borrower’s name any documents required in order to give Lender a continuing first lien upon the Collateral or any part thereof. 

5.    Cancellation. In the event that the sale of the Series F Preferred Stock or any other transaction or
instrument, including without limitation warrants to purchase common stock of Lender, for which this Note is given as full or partial consideration, is cancelled or rescinded, this Note shall automatically be cancelled and deemed satisfied, and
(a) Borrower shall return all such instruments, including without limitation unexercised warrants, and all securities of Lender obtained pursuant to exercise of such instruments, including without limitation shares of common stock remaining in
its possession, and (b) Borrower shall immediately pay to Lender an amount equal to 90% of the volume weighted average trading price (as defined by Bloomberg Financing Markets) of any such common stock that is publicly traded, during the period
commencing on the date such shares of common stock were obtained by Borrower and ending on the date of cancellation of the Note, multiplied by the number of such shares of common stock not returned to Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions.

  

 3 








 6.    Additional Terms. 

a.    No Waiver. The acceptance by Lender of payment of a portion of any installment when due or an entire
installment but after it is due shall neither cure nor excuse the default caused by the failure of Borrower timely to pay the whole of such installment and shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to require full payment when due of any
future or succeeding installments. 
 b.    Default. Any one or more of the following shall
constitute a “default” under this Note: (i) a default in the payment when due of any amount hereunder, (ii) Borrower’s refusal to perform any material term, provision or covenant under this Note, (iii) the commencement
of any liquidation, receivership, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors or other debtor-relief proceeding by or against Borrower, or subject to Section 4b, the Collateral becomes subject to any lien, claim, or encumbrance
of any third party or is transferred by Borrower, and (iv) the levying of any attachment, execution or other process against Borrower, or subject to Section 4b the Collateral or any material portion thereof. 

c.    Default Rights. 

i.    Upon the occurrence of any payment default Lender may, at its election, declare the entire balance of principal
and interest under this Note immediately due and payable. A delay by Lender in exercising any right of acceleration after a default shall not constitute a waiver of the default or the right of acceleration or any other right or remedy for such
default. The failure by Lender to exercise any right of acceleration as a result of a default shall not constitute a waiver of the right of acceleration or any other right or remedy with respect to any other default, whenever occurring. 

ii.    Further, upon the occurrence of any material non-monetary default, following 30 days notice from Lender to
Borrower specifying the default and demanded manner of cure for any non-monetary default, Lender shall thereupon and thereafter have any and all of the rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled after a default under the applicable
Uniform Commercial Code, as then in effect. In addition to Lender’s other rights and remedies, Borrower agrees that, upon the occurrence of default, Lender may in its sole discretion do or cause to be done any one or more of the following:

 (a)    Proceed to realize upon the Collateral or any portion thereof as provided by law, and without
liability for any diminution in price which may have occurred, sell the Collateral or any part thereof, in such manner, whether at any public or private sale, and whether in one lot as an entirety, or in separate portions, and for such price and
other terms and conditions as is commercially reasonable given the nature of the Collateral. 
 (b)    If
notice to Borrower is required, give written notice to Borrower at least ten days before the date of sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof. 

(c)    Transfer all or any part of the Collateral into Lender’s name or in the name of its nominee or nominees.

 (d)    Vote all or any part of the Collateral (whether or not
transferred into the name of Lender ) and give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of the Collateral and otherwise act with respect thereto, as though Lender were the outright owner thereof. 

iii.    Borrower acknowledges that all or part of foreclosure of the Collateral may be restricted by state or
federal securities laws, Lender may be unable to effect a public sale of all or part of the Collateral, that a public sale is or may be impractical and inappropriate and that, in the event of such restrictions, Lender thus may be compelled to resort
to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to its distribution or resale. Borrower agrees
that if reasonably necessary Lender may resort to one or more sales to a single purchaser or a restricted or limited group of purchasers. Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition, unless the terms thereof shall be
satisfactory to it. 
 iv.    If, in the opinion of Lender based upon written advice of counsel, any
consent, approval or authorization of any federal, state or other governmental agency or authority should be necessary to effectuate any sale or other disposition of any Collateral, Borrower shall execute all such applications and other instruments
as may reasonably be required in connection with securing any such consent, approval or authorization, and will otherwise use its commercially reasonable best efforts to secure the same. 

v.    The rights, privileges, powers and remedies of Lender shall be cumulative, and no single or partial exercise
of any of them shall preclude the further or other exercise of any of them. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind by Lender of any default hereunder, or any such waiver of any provisions or conditions hereof, must be in writing and
shall be effective only to the extent set forth in writing. Any proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may be applied by Lender to the payment of expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the foregoing, and the
balance of such proceeds shall be applied by Lender toward the payment of the Secured Obligations. 

d.    No Oral Waivers or Modifications. No provision of this Note may be waived or modified orally, but only
in a writing signed by Lender and Borrower. 
 e.    Attorney Fees. The prevailing party in any
action by Lender to collect any amounts due under this Note shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys fees and costs. 

f.    Governing Law. This Note has been executed and delivered in, and is to be construed, enforced, and
governed according to the internal laws of, the State of New York without regard to its principles of conflict of laws. 

g.    Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such manner as to
be effective and valid under applicable law. However, if any provision of this Note shall be held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating
the remainder of that provision or the other provisions of this Note.

 h.    Entire Agreement. This Note contains the entire
understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters.

 WHEREAS, it is the desire of the
Board of Directors of the Corporation, pursuant to its authority as aforesaid, to fix the rights, preferences, restrictions and other matters relating to a series of preferred stock, which shall consist of up to 1,500 shares of the preferred stock

 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors
does hereby provide for the issuance of a series of preferred stock for cash or exchange of other securities, rights or property and does hereby fix and determine the rights, preferences, restrictions and other matters relating to such series of
preferred stock as follows: 
 TERMS OF PREFERRED STOCK 

1. Designation, Amount and Par Value. The series of preferred stock shall be designated as the Corporation’s Series F

2. Dividends and Other Distributions. Commencing on the date of the issuance of any such shares of Series F Preferred Stock

 3. Protective Provision. So long as any shares of Series F

or wind-up the business and affairs of the Corporation, or effect any Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined below), or (f) enter into any agreement with respect to the foregoing. 

a. A “Deemed Liquidation Event” shall mean: (i) a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is a constituent
party or a subsidiary of the Corporation is a constituent party and the Corporation issues shares of its capital stock pursuant to such merger or consolidation, except any such merger or consolidation involving the Corporation or a subsidiary in
which the shares of capital stock of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to represent, or are converted into or exchanged for shares of capital stock that represent, immediately following such
merger or consolidation, at least a majority, by voting power, of the capital stock of the surviving or resulting corporation or if the surviving or resulting corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of another corporation immediately following such
merger or consolidation, the parent corporation of such surviving or resulting corporation; or (ii) the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Corporation
or any subsidiary of the Corporation of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or the sale or disposition (whether by merger or otherwise) of one or more subsidiaries of the Corporation if
substantially all of the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, except where such sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition is to a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Corporation. 







 b. The Corporation shall not have the power to effect a Deemed Liquidation Event referred to
in Section 3.a unless the agreement or plan of merger or consolidation for such transaction provides that the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the
Corporation in accordance with Section 4. 
 4. Liquidation. 

a. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, after payment or provision for
payment of debts and other liabilities of the Corporation, before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any other equity securities of the Corporation by reason of their ownership thereof, the Holders of Series F Preferred
Stock shall first be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders an amount with respect to each share of Series F Preferred Stock equal to $10,000.00 (the “Original
Series F Issue Price”), plus any accrued but unpaid Dividends thereon (collectively, the “Series F Liquidation Value”). 

b. After payment has been made to the Holders of the Series F Preferred Stock of the full amount of the Series F Liquidation
Value, any remaining assets of the Corporation shall be distributed among the holders of the Corporation’s Junior Securities in accordance with the Corporation’s Certificates of Designation and Certificate of Incorporation, as amended.

 c. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient
to make payment in full to all Holders, then such assets shall be distributed among the Holders at the time outstanding, ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled. 

5. Redemption. 

a. Corporation’s Redemption Option. Upon or after the first anniversary of the initial Issuance Date, the Corporation shall
have the right, at the Corporation’s option, to redeem all or a portion of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock, at a price per share of Series F Preferred Stock (the “Corporation Redemption Price”) equal to the
Series F Liquidation Value plus the following percentages of the Original Series F Issue Price determined by reference to the original Issuance Date of such shares of Series F Preferred Stock: 

 

				
	 If the redemption occurs
	  	Additional percentage	 
	 After first anniversary of issuance but prior to second anniversary of issuance
	  	26	%

such Holder. 
 6. Transferability. The Series F Preferred Stock may only be sold, transferred, assigned,
pledged or otherwise disposed of (“Transfer”) in accordance with state and federal securities laws. The Corporation shall keep at its principal office, or at the offices of a transfer agent, a register of the Series F Preferred
Stock. Upon the surrender of any certificate representing Series F Preferred Stock at such place, the Corporation, at the request of the record Holder of such certificate, shall execute and deliver (at the Corporation’s expense) a new
certificate or certificates in exchange therefor representing in the aggregate the number of shares represented by the surrendered certificate. Each such new certificate shall be registered in such name and shall represent such number of shares as
is requested by the Holder of the surrendered certificate and shall be substantially identical in form to the surrendered certificate. 

7. Miscellaneous.

 Exhibit C 

Transfer Agent Instructions 

May ____, 2010 
  

	
	  
	  
	  
	

  

	 	Re:	International Stem Cell Corporation 


Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 In
accordance with the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”), dated May 4, 2010, by and between International Stem Cell Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Company”), and Socius CG II. Ltd.
(“Buyer”), pursuant to which Company shall issue and deliver shares (“Fee Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), and warrants
(“Warrants”) to purchase additional shares (“Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock (the Fee Shares and Warrant Shares, collectively, “Common Shares”), this shall serve as our irrevocable authorization
and direction to you (provided that you are the transfer agent of the Company at such time) to issue the Fee Shares and, in the event the holder of the Warrants elects or has elected to exercise all or any portion of the Warrants, from time to time,
upon surrender to you of a notice of exercise of the Warrants, the Warrant Shares. 
 Specifically, this shall constitute an
irrevocable instruction to you to process any notice of exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms of these instructions as soon as practicable. Upon your receipt of a notice of exercise of the Warrants, you shall use your best efforts
to, within three (3) trading days following the date of receipt thereof, (A) issue and surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the address specified, a certificate, registered in the name designated, for the number of
shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant has been exercised or (B) provided you are participating in The Depository Trust Company (DTC) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon request, credit such aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock to the balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian (DWAC) system specified to initiate the DWAC transaction. 

The Company hereby confirms that certificates representing the Common Shares shall not bear any legend restricting transfer of the shares
thereby and should not be subject to any stop-transfer restrictions and shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company, provided that the shares are registered for sale under the Act, or that if the shares are not
registered for sale under the Act the certificates bear the following legend: 
 “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, 







 
AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT
OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT.” 
 The Company hereby confirms and
you acknowledge that, in the event counsel to the Company does not issue any opinion of counsel required to issue any Common Shares free of legend, the Company authorizes and you will accept an opinion of counsel from Luce Forward
Hamilton & Scripps LLP. 
 The Company hereby confirms that no instructions other than as contemplated herein will be
given to you by the Company with respect to the Common Shares. The Company hereby agrees that it shall not replace you as the Company’s transfer agent, until such time as the Company provides written notice to you and Buyer that a suitable
replacement has agreed to serve as transfer agent and to be bound by the terms and conditions of these Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions. 

The Company and you hereby acknowledge and confirm that complying with the terms of this Agreement does not and shall not prohibit you
from satisfying any and all fiduciary responsibilities and duties you may owe to the Company. 
 The Company and you acknowledge
that the Buyer is relying on the representations and covenants made by the Company and you hereunder and are a material inducement to the Buyer to enter into the Purchase Agreement. The Company and you further acknowledge that without such
representations and covenants made hereunder, the Buyer would not enter into the Purchase Agreement and purchase Securities pursuant thereto. 

Each party hereto specifically acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach of any provision hereof will cause irreparable
damage and that damages at law would be an inadequate remedy if these Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions were not specifically enforced. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by a party hereto, including, without limitation,
the attempted termination of the agency relationship created by this instrument, in addition to all other rights or remedies, an injunction restraining such breach and granting specific performance of the provisions of these Irrevocable Transfer
Agent Instructions should issue without any requirement to show any actual damage or to post any bond or other security. 







 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this letter agreement regarding Irrevocable
Transfer Agent Instructions to be duly executed and delivered as of the date first written above.
