Corporation (as defined below) in excess of 65% of the voting power of all classes of capital stock or other ownership interests of such Controlled Foreign Corporation entitled to vote; provided that (i) immediately upon the amendment of

Corporation shall mean a controlled foreign corporation as defined in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.

c. Lender agrees
that, notwithstanding the terms of any account control agreements, while no Event of Default exists and is continuing Lender (i) shall refrain from exerting control over any deposit or securities accounts subject to such account control
agreements, (ii) shall defer to Borrowers control over the assets and proceeds in such accounts, including Borrowers ability to withdraw from, or otherwise direct the disposition of funds from, deposit accounts for the payment of
Borrowers obligations to third parties as they become due and payable, and including Borrowers ability to withdraw from, designate investments in, or otherwise direct activities in its securities accounts, and (iii) shall not send a

perfect the security interest granted hereunder, and (iii) any securities filings related to the Warrant.

5.3. No Conflicts.
The entry into, and performance by the Borrowers of, the Loan Documents will not (i) violate any of the organizational documents of any Borrower or any judgment, order, law, regulation or decree applicable to any Borrower, or (ii) result
in any breach of or constitute a default under any contract to which any Borrower is a party, or result in the creation of any Lien or claim on any property of a Borrower (except for Liens in favor of Lender) pursuant to any indenture, mortgage,

assets which could, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Borrowers business or financial condition, taken as a whole, the Collateral or any Borrowers ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents, nor, to
