“Undrawn

minus (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all Tranche B Term Loans which have been made as of such date. As of the Effective

    3


     


    

 


(a) Agent
and the Lenders will establish for the Company, during the Contract Period and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, a convertible,
delayed draw term loan facility consisting of (i) a delayed draw term loan in the principal amount of $800,000 (“Tranche
A Term Loan”), as to which Tranche A Term Loan, an Advance of $600,000 is being funded on the Effective Date hereof

which Tranche C Term Loan shall be made in accordance with Section 2.1(c). Each Advance by a Lender constitutes Lender
Indebtedness hereunder. The Term Loan is not a revolving loan, so that if the Company repays all or any portion of the Term Loan
at any time, such amount so repaid may not be re-borrowed. The Term Loan shall be subject to all terms and conditions set forth
in all of the Loan Documents, which terms and conditions are incorporated herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Section 2.1, no Lender will be required or have any obligation to make any extensions of credit hereunder if a
Default then exists or could reasonably be expected to result by virtue of the making thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Lenders be obligated to make to the Company, or the Company be entitled to borrow
or receive from the Lenders, any loans, advances or extensions of credit hereunder other than the Term Loan.

On any Business Day, the Company may request an Advance by delivering to Agent a written request therefor (each an “Advance
Request”), which Advance Request may be submitted by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, subject to the
prior approval of a majority of the Disinterested Directors of the Company. Each such request shall specify (i) the amount of
the requested Advance, which shall be at least $50,000.00 or, if less, the current amount of Undrawn Tranche B Availability or
Undrawn Tranche C Availability, as the case may be, and (ii) the date (the “Requested Advance Date”) upon which
the Company desires the Lenders to fund the Advance, which date shall be at least one (1) Business Day subsequent to Agent’s
receipt of the Advance Request. Any Advance Request made after 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day shall be deemed to be made on the
next following Business Day. Following Agent’s receipt of an Advance Request, Agent (or the applicable Lenders each to the
extent of its respective Commitment Percentage of the Aggregate Tranche B Commitments or Aggregate Tranche C Commitments subject
to the Advance Request, as the case may be) will make the requested Advance on the Requested Advance Date, by transferring immediately
available funds via wire transfer or ACH transfer to an account previously designated to Agent in writing by the Company or as
otherwise set forth on the applicable Advance Request.


 


(e) Amendment
of Section 4.3 of the Existing Loan Agreement. Section 4.3 of the Existing Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated
in its entirety as of the First Amendment Effective Date, to read in full as follows:


 


4.3 Prepayment.
The Company may prepay all (or with the consent of any Lender, as to such Lender, any part) of the amounts due on the Term Loan
at any time without any premium or penalty, following delivery of not less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice to
Agent. All prepayments of the entire Accreted Principal Amount of the Term Loan will be applied on a pro rata and pari passu
basis against the then outstanding balance of the respective Term Loans of the Lenders. If the Company desires to prepay only
a portion of the Term Loans, the Company shall so advise Agent and the Lenders by written notice to Agent of the proposed amount
to be prepaid. Those Lenders consenting to a partial prepayment shall so advise Agent within five (5) Business Days and Agent
shall promptly so advise the Company in writing of the identity of such Lenders. The partial prepayment will be applied pro-rata
and on a pari passu basis against the then outstanding balance of the respective Term Loans of the Lenders participating
in the partial prepayment.

(f) Amendment
of Section 4.5 of the Existing Loan Agreement. Section 4.5 of the Existing Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated
in its entirety as of the First Amendment Effective Date, to read in full as follows:


 


4.5 Payments
to Agent. Subject to Section 4.3, all payments in respect to the Term Loan shall be paid (i) to Agent, for the
ratable benefit of the Lenders, on a pari passu basis, to an account or accounts specified by Agent to the Company from
time to time, or alternatively, (ii) as agreed to in writing among the Company, the Lenders (or any of them), and Agent, by the
Company directly to each or any of the several Lenders pursuant to written instructions signed by any such Lenders and acknowledged
by Agent.


 


(g) Amendment
of Section 4 of the Existing Loan Agreement. Section 4 of the Existing Loan Agreement is hereby amended by adding a
new Section 4.6 thereto, as of the First Amendment Effective Date, to read in full as follows:


 


4.6 Unregistered Shares/Piggyback Registration
Rights.


 


(a) The
AGENT AND THE Lenders acknowledge and agree that the shareS of Common Stock into which the Accreted Principal Amount of each such
Lender’s Term Loan are convertible hereunder, HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
“ACT”) OR APPLICABLE STATE OR OTHER SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE
OF EITHER AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT AND REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLEY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION ARE NOT REQUIRED
UNDER APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.


 


(b) If
the Company proposes to register any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of
such securities solely for cash (other than in a registration relating to the sale of
securities to employees of the Company or a subsidiary pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase, or similar plan; a
registration relating to a transaction under Rule 145 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act; a registration on any
form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement
covering the sale of the Registrable Securities (as defined below); or a registration in connection with an offering pursuant
to which the Company is seeking to receive less than $2,500,000), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give the
Lender notice of such registration. Upon the request of the Required Lenders, given within twenty (20) days after such notice
is given by the Company, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Subsection 4.6(c), cause to be registered (x)
all of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Term Loans, and (y) any Common Stock issued as a dividend or other
distribution with respect to, or in exchange for or in replacement of, the shares referenced in clause (x) above
(collectively, “Registrable Securities”) that the Required Lenders have requested to be included in such
registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section
4.6 before the effective date of such registration, whether or not the Lenders have elected to include Registrable
Securities in such registration. The expenses (other than Selling Expenses (as defined below)) of such withdrawn registration
shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Subsection 4.6(e). 


 






    5


     


    

 


(c) In connection
with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock pursuant to Subsection 4.6(b),
the Company shall not be required to include any of the Lenders’ Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless the
Lenders accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its underwriters, and then only in such quantity
as the underwriters in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the
total number of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds
the number of securities to be sold (other than by the Company) that the underwriters in their reasonable discretion determine
is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number
of such securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters and the Company in their sole discretion determine
will not jeopardize the success of the offering.


 


(d) It shall
be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 4.6 with respect
to the Registrable Securities of the Lenders that the Lenders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding each of
them, the Registrable Securities held by each of them, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as is reasonably
required to effect the registration of the Lenders’ Registrable Securities.


 


(e) All expenses
(other than underwriting discounts, selling commissions, and stock transfer taxes applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities,
and fees and disbursements of counsel for any Lender (collectively, “Selling Expenses”)) incurred in connection
with registrations, filings, or qualifications pursuant to Section 4.6, including all registration, filing, and qualification
fees; printers’ and accounting fees; fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be borne and paid by the Company.


 


(f) The Lenders
shall not have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration as the result of any
controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 4.6.


 


(g) If any
Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 4.6:


 


(i) To
the extent permitted by law, each of the Lenders (severally and not jointly or jointly and severally; referred to herein as an
“Indemnifying Lender”)) will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each of its directors, each
of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each Person (if any), who controls the Company within the meaning of
the Securities Act, legal counsel and accountants for the Company, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act), and any
controlling Person of any such underwriter, against any Damages (defined below), in each case only to the extent that such Damages
arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
by or on behalf of any such Indemnifying Lender expressly for use in connection with such registration; and such Indemnifying
Lender will pay to the Company and each other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in
connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred;
provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Subsection 4.6(g) shall not apply to amounts paid
in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Indemnifying Lender, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. For purposes of this Section 4.6, “Damages” means
any loss, damage, claim or liability (joint or several) to which a party hereto may become subject under the Securities Act, the
Securities Exchange Act, or other federal or state law, insofar as such loss, damage, claim or liability (or any action in respect
thereof) arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
registration statement of the Company, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments
or supplements thereto; (ii) an omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the
indemnifying party (or any of its agents or affiliates) of the Securities Act,
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), any state securities law, or any
rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any state securities law.


 






    6


     


    

 


(ii) Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party under this Subsection 4.6(g) of notice of the commencement of any action (including
any governmental action) for which a party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim
in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Subsection 4.6(g),
give the indemnifying party notice of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate
in such action and to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however,
that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel)
shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation
of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such action.


 


(iii) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered
into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the
underwriting agreement shall control.


 


(iv) Unless
otherwise superseded by an underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering, the obligations
of the Company and the Lenders under this Subsection 4.6(g) shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable
Securities in a registration under this Section 4.6.


 


(h) The right
of the Lenders to request registration or inclusion of Registrable Securities in any registration pursuant to Subsection 4.6(b)
shall terminate upon such time as Rule 144 or another similar exemption under the Securities Act is available for the sale
of the Lenders’ shares.


 


(h) Amendment
of Schedule 1.1 of the Existing Loan Agreement. Schedule 1.1 of the Existing Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated
in its entirety as of the First Amendment Effective Date, to read in full as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto.


 


4. Joinder.
Each of the Tranche B Lenders identified on Schedule 1.1, as amended by this First Amendment and attached hereto as Exhibit
A, shall upon execution and delivery of this First Amendment, become Lenders under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
entitled to all of the benefits and subject to all of the obligations and undertakings, of a Lender under the Loan Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, to the extent of their respective several (and not joint and several) Tranche B Commitments, as Tranche
B Lenders with respect to the Tranche B Term Loan.
