**Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement**

On November 13, 2025, VSee Health, Inc. (the "**Company**"), entered into an exchange agreement (the "**Agreement**") with an accredited institutional investor (the "**Holder**"), whereby the Holder agreed to exchange a certain promissory note, in the principal amount (including the original issue discount of $55,555.56) of $555,555.56 and with a current balance of $611,878.22, for 941,352 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. Such shares of common stock are being issued in reliance on Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "**Securities Act**").

In addition, on November 13, 2025 the Company also entered into a $25,000,000 Equity Line of Credit arrangement ("**ELOC**") pursuant to a directed stock purchase agreement (the "**DSPA**") with an accredited institutional investor (the "**Investor**"). The ELOC has a 36-month term, terminable by Company at any time. The Regular Purchase Price (as defined in the DSPA) will equal 96% (unless the purchase price per share would be lower than $1.00 in which case the pricing percentage will be 94%) of the lowest VWAP of the Common Stock in the ten (10) trading days immediately prior to the Closing Date, however, the Regular Purchase Price will not exceed the lower of (a) $500,000 and (b) 95% of the average Daily Traded Value of the Common Stock on the ten trading days immediately preceding such Closing Date. The Expanded Purchase Price (as defined in the DSPA) will equal to the lower of (x) the average of the daily VWAP on the trading day immediately preceding such Expanded Closing Date and the daily VWAP on such Expanded Closing Date (as defined in the DSPA) and (y) the Pricing Percentage (as defined in the DSPA) of the lowest VWAP for all trading days in the period beginning immediately following such Expanded Closing Date and ending on the earlier of (x) ten (10) trading days after and (y) the date when the Purchaser shall have entered into committed, binding trades to sell all of the Purchased Securities purchased at such Expanded Closing not to exceed $5,000,000. Pursuant to the DSPA, the Company may not sell more than 19.9% of the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock in accordance with the regulations of its principal trading market. The DSPA and the Exchange Agreement contain customary representations, warranties, indemnification provisions and closing conditions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the DSPA and Exchange Agreement were made only for purposes of the DSPA and Exchange Agreement and as of their specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements and are subject to certain important limitations.

The ELOC will terminate when the Investor has purchased an aggregate of $25,000,000 of our common stock or three years from the date the ELOC is entered into, whichever occurs first. Under the terms of the ELOC, the Investor may not own more than 9.99% of our issued and outstanding stock at any one time. The net proceeds under the ELOC to the Company will depend on the frequency and prices at which the Company sells shares of its Common Stock to the Investor. Any such proceeds will be used by the Company for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The foregoing description of the Agreement and the ELOC does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement and the ELOC, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein.

VSEE's certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures of VSEE and its Subsidiaries as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the "**Evaluation Date**"). VSEE 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. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting of VSEE and its Subsidiaries.

The Holder shall not have any obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this **Section 3.1(p)** that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(q) **Private Placement**.

**ARTICLE VI MISCELLANEOUS**

6.1 **Termination and Survival**. This Agreement may be terminated by Holder, as to the Holder's obligations hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever on the obligations between the Company and the Holder, by written notice to the Company, if the Closing has not occurred on or before November 14, 2025. Termination of this Agreement will not affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by any other party (or parties) prior to such termination. The representations and warranties, covenants and other provisions hereof shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Shares. Notwithstanding any termination of any Transaction Document, the reimbursement and indemnities to which the Holder is entitled under the provisions of any Transaction Document shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Holder against events arising after such termination as well as before.

6.2 **Fees and Expenses**. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated or any Securities shall be purchased, the Company agrees to pay promptly, or as indicated below, to Holder, or reimburse Holder for, the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) all the costs, fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent (including any fees required for same-day processing of any instruction letter delivered by the Company) and all other costs and expenses (including stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied) incurred in connection with the delivery to Holder of any Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) all the actual and reasonable costs, fees and expenses of administration of the Transaction Documents and preparation, execution and closing of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto, including the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel to Holder in connection therewith and in connection with any other documents or matters requested by Company (including through agents, contractors, trustees, representatives and advisors) or otherwise prepared or delivered in connection with any Transaction Document; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) all the actual and reasonable costs, fees, expenses and disbursements of any auditors, accountants, consultants or appraisers used in connection with the Transaction Documents.

The foregoing shall be in addition to, and shall not be construed to limit, any other provisions of the Transaction Documents regarding indemnification and costs and expenses to be paid by the Company Parties.

6.3 **Modifications and Signatures**. 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 any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right. Any modification effected in accordance with accordance with this **Section 6.3** shall be binding upon Holder and holder of Securities and the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Entire Agreement.** This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents contain and constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior negotiations, agreements, and understandings, whether written or oral, of the parties hereto, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Amendments**. No amendment, modification or termination of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be effective without the written consent of the Company and the Holder. No waiver or consent shall be effective against any party unless given in writing and then any such waiver shall then be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) **Successors and Assigns.** This Agreement shall bind and inure solely to the benefit of the Company, the Holder, and their respective successors and, if permitted, assigns; **provided**, that the Company may not assign this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder without the Holder's prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void. Unless otherwise expressly provided in any Transaction Document, Holder may sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in, or any right or remedy under, the Shares and the Transaction Documents without the consent of the Company Parties; **provided**, that any transferee of the Shares shall agree in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the "Holder" (and any attempt to effect such transfer without securing such agreement shall be null and void).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) **No Waiver by Course of Dealing***.* No notice to or demand on any Company Party, whether or not in any Proceeding, pursuant to any Transaction Document shall entitle any Company Party to any other or further notice (except as specifically required hereunder or under any other Transaction Document) or demand in similar or other circumstances. The failure by any Holder Party at any time or times to require strict performance by the Company of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or the granting of any waiver or indulgence shall not waive, affect or otherwise diminish any right of such Holder Party thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance with such provision, shall not affect or be a waiver under any other provision of any Transaction Document except as specifically mentioned and shall not constitute a course of dealing by any Holder Party at variance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (and therefore, among other things, shall not require further notice by a Holder Party of its intent to require strict adherence to the terms of such Transaction Document in the future). Any such actions shall not in any way affect the ability of any Holder Party, in its discretion, to exercise any rights available to it under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or under applicable Regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) **Execution in Counterparts**. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and both of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. In proving this Agreement in any judicial proceedings, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the party against whom such enforcement is sought.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) **Electronic Signatures***.* Each party agrees that the electronic signatures, whether digital or encrypted, of the parties included in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document are intended to authenticate this writing and to have the same force and effect as manual signatures. Electronic signature means any electronic sound, symbol, or process attached to or logically associated with a record and executed and adopted by a party with the intent to sign such record, including facsimile or email electronic signatures. The Borrower expressly agrees that this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents are "transferable records" as defined in applicable Regulations relating to electronic transaction and that it may be created, authenticated, stored, transmitted and transferred in a manner consistent with and permitted by such applicable Regulations.

6.4 **Notices.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) All notices, requests, demands, and other communications to either party hereto or given under any Transaction Document shall be in writing (including electronic mail transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to such party at the physical address or send to the electronic mailing address set forth in the signature pages hereof or at such other physical address or electronic mailing address as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose of notice to the Holder and the Company in accordance with the provisions of this **Section 6.4**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by mail, three (3) Trading Days after such communication is deposited in the U.S. Mail with first class postage pre-paid, addressed to the noticed party at the address specified herein, (ii) if by nationally recognized overnight courier, when delivered with receipt acknowledged in writing by the noticed party, (iii) if given by personal delivery, when duly delivered with receipt acknowledged in writing by the noticed party or (iv) if given by electronic mail, when delivered (receipt by the sender of a receipt using the "return receipt" function or receipt of a reply email being presumptive evidence of receipt thereof); **provided**, that if such electronic mail is not sent prior to the last trading hour of the principal Trading Market of the Shares on a Trading Day, such electronic mail shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of trading on the next Trading Day for such principal Trading Market. Any written notice, request or demand that is not sent in conformity with the provisions hereof shall nevertheless be effective on the date that such notice, request or demand is actually received by the individual to whose attention at the noticed party such notice, request or demand is required to be sent.

6.5 **Set-Off**. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable Regulations and not by way of limitation of any such rights, Holder is hereby authorized by the Company at any time or from time to time, without notice or demand to Company or to any other Person, any such notice or demand being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, including indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other indebtedness or other amounts at any time held or owing by Company to or for the credit or the account of Company or any of its Related Parties against and on account of any amounts due by Company or any of its Related Parties to any Holder Party under any Transaction Documents, irrespective of whether or not Holder shall have made any demand hereunder.

6.6 **Governing Law.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Except as otherwise expressly provided in any other Transaction Document, this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and all claims, Proceedings and matters arising hereunder or thereunder or related hereto or thereto are governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Any Proceeding with respect to any Transaction Document may be brought exclusively in the Delaware State courts sitting in New Castle County or the federal courts of the United States of America for the District of Delaware and sitting in New Castle County. The Company (i) accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, (ii) irrevocably waives any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue, based on the grounds of forum *non conveniens* or that such jurisdiction is improper or otherwise that such party is not subject to the jurisdiction of such courts, that it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any Proceeding in those jurisdictions, (iii) irrevocably consents to the service of process of any court referred to above in any Proceeding by the mailing of copies of the process to the parties hereto as provided in **Section 6.4** and (iv) agrees that a final judgment in any such Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Service effected as provided in this manner will become effective ten (10) calendar days after the mailing of the process. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in any Transaction Document shall affect the right of Holder to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Regulations or commence Proceedings or otherwise proceed against the Company in any other jurisdiction.

6.7 **Severability**. Any provision of any Transaction Document being held illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not affect any part of such provision not held illegal, invalid or unenforceable, any other provision of any Transaction Document or any part of such provision in any other jurisdiction, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any party. In addition, upon any determination that any such term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to modify the relevant Transaction Document so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

6.8 **Rescission and Withdrawal Right**. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Holder Party exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and a Company Party does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Holder may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

6.9 **Replacement of Securities**. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the applicable Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.

6.10 **Remedies.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, Holder and 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 contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If the Company shall fail to discharge any covenant, duty or obligation hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents, Holder may, in its discretion at any time, for the account and at the expense of the Company, pay any amount or do any act required of Company hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by Holder. All costs and expenses incurred by Holder in connection with the taking of any such action shall be reimbursed to Holder by the Company on demand with interest at the highest interest rate allowed by law from the date such payment is made or such costs or expenses are incurred to the date of payment thereof. Any payment made or other action taken by Holder under this **clause (b)** shall be without prejudice to any right to assert, and without waiver of, any breach of any Transaction Document and without prejudice to Holder's right to proceed thereafter as provided herein or in any of the other Transaction Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The remedies provided in this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under any Transaction Document, whether at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Nothing in any Transaction Document shall limit the Holder's rights to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by any Company Party to comply with the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) An Event of Default will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. Therefore, in the event of any such Event of Default, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any such breach or any such threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

6.11 **Marshaling; Payment Set Aside**. Holder shall not be under any obligation to marshal any property in favor of the Company or any other party or against or in payment of any amount due under any Transaction Document. To the extent that Company makes a payment or payments to Holder pursuant to any Transaction Document or Holder 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 any Company Party, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including 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, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, 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.

6.12 **Usury**. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any claim, action or proceeding that may be brought by any Holder Party in order to enforce any right or remedy under any Transaction Document. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the "**Maximum Rate**") and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest that any Company Party may be obligated to pay under the Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents from the effective date thereof forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by Company to Holder with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be applied by Holder to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the applicable Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at Holder's election.

6.13 **Liquidated Damages**. Any Company's obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of such 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.

6.14 **Further Assurances**. The Company Parties agree to take such further actions as Holder shall reasonably request from time to time in connection herewith to evidence, give effect to or carry out this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

6.15 **Interpretation**. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have 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 any Transaction Document. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Transaction Document, if the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted under any Transaction Document shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day. As used in any Transaction Document, references to the singular will include the plural and vice versa and references to the masculine gender will include the feminine and neuter genders and vice versa, as appropriate. When used in any Transaction Document, unless otherwise expressly provided in such Transaction Document, (a) the words "**hereof**," "**herein**" and "**hereunder**" and words of similar import refer to such Transaction Document as a whole and not to any particular provision of such Transaction Document, (b) recital, article, section, subsection, schedule and exhibit references are references with respect to such Transaction Document unless otherwise specified, (c) any reference to any agreement shall include a reference to all recitals, appendices, exhibits and schedules to such agreement and, unless the prior written consent of any party is required hereunder and is not obtained, shall be a reference to such agreement as waived, amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified and (d) any reference to a specific Regulation shall be to such Regulation, as modified from time to time, together with any successor or replacement Regulation, in each case as in effect at the time of determination. Unless the context otherwise requires, when used in any Transaction Document, the following terms have the following meaning: (u) "**execution**," "**signed**," "**signature**" and words of like import shall be deemed to include electronic signatures and the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Regulation, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other similar state Regulation based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, (v) "**incur**" means incur, create, make, issue, assume or otherwise become or remain directly or indirectly liable in respect of or responsible for, in each case whether directly or indirectly, as primary obligor or guarantor or endorser, and the terms "**incurrence**" and "**incurred**" and similar derivatives shall have correlative meanings, (w) "**knowledge**" of the any Company Party means the best knowledge of any officer, director or employee of such Company Party after due inquiry, (x) "**including**" means "including, without limitation," (y) "**asset**" and "**property**" have the same meaning and mean, "collectively, all rights and interests in tangible and intangible assets and properties, whether real, personal or mixed and including cash, capital stock, revenues, accounts, leasehold interests, contract rights and other rights under Permits and Contractual Obligations" and (z) "**documents**" and "**documentation**" have the same meaning and mean "collectively, all documents, drafts, instruments, agreements, indentures, certificates, forms, opinions, powers of attorney, notices, summons, reports, financial statements and other writings, however evidenced, whether in physical or electronic form." The headings in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. All references in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to statutes and regulations shall include all amendments of same and implementing regulations and any successor statutes and regulations; to any instrument or agreement (including any of the Transaction Documents) shall include any and all modifications and supplements thereto and any and all restatements, extensions or renewals thereof to the extent such modifications, supplements, restatements, extensions or renewals of any such documents are permitted by the terms hereof and thereof. An Event of Default shall be deemed to exist at all times during the period commencing on the date that such Event of Default occurs to the date on which such Event of Default is waived in writing pursuant to the relevant Note or, with respect to any Default, is cured within any period of cure expressly provided in the relevant Note. Whenever in any provision of any Transaction Document, any Holder Party is authorized to take or decline to take any action (including making any determination) in the exercise of its "**discretion**," such provision shall be understood to mean that such Holder may take or refrain to take such action in its sole discretion. References to times of the day in any Transaction Document shall refer to Eastern Time. In the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word "**from**" means "from and including," the words "**to**" and "**until**" each mean "to but excluding" and the word "**through**" means "to and including." Time is of the essence of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. No provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents shall be construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party hereto by any Governmental Authority by reason of such party having or being deemed to have structured, drafted or dictated such provision.

This **Directed Stock Purchase Agreement** (this "**Agreement**") is dated as of November 13, 2025, by and between VSee Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and, if permitted, assigns, the "**Company**"), and Ascent Partners Fund LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with its successors and assigns, including any other holder of Purchased Securities, the "**Purchaser**").

**WHEREAS,** subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (together with the Regulations promulgated thereunder, the "**Securities Act**"), the Company desires to issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser desires to purchase from the Company for cash and other valuable consideration, the Purchased Securities as defined and described more fully in this Agreement; and

**WHEREAS, Schedule I** contains a list of terms defined in this Agreement or in any other documents or agreements executed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder (the "**Transaction Documents**"), all of which are used in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as so defined;

**NOW, THEREFORE,** in consideration of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

**ARTICLE I PURCHASES AND SALES**

**1.1 Effective Date and Closings**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Effective Date.** This Agreement shall be effective on the date on which the conditions set forth in **Section 1.3 (Condition to Effective Date)** shall have been satisfied or duly waived (the **"Effective Date**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Regular Closings.** On a trading day that (A) is after the Effective Date and on or before thirty-six (36) months from the date of the filing of the Registration Statement (the **"Termination Date"**), (B) occurs as promptly as practicable after the date on which the conditions set forth in **Section 1.4** shall have been satisfied or duly waived and (C) is a trading day proposed by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser (each a **"Regular Closing Date**"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein (including satisfaction of all the conditions set forth in **Section 1.4**), the Company may, but shall have no obligation to, deliver to the Purchaser a notice in the form attached hereto as **Exhibit A1** with such changes acceptable to the Purchaser and the Company each in their sole discretion, (an **"Advance Notice"**) to request to sell a number of shares of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share ("**Common Stock**") set forth in such Advance Notice (the **"Closing Date Securities"** and, collectively in the aggregate for all such Closings and together with the Adjustment Securities (as defined below) and any other Common Stock to be purchased at a Expanded Closing pursuant to **clause (c) below**, the **"Purchased Securities**") to the Purchaser for a gross purchase price (each a **"Regular Purchase Price"**) equal to the Pricing Percentage of the lowest VWAP of the Common Stock in the ten (10) trading days immediately prior to the Closing Date (each closing of such purchase and sale being referred to herein as a **"Regular Closing**");

**"Pricing Percentage"** means, with respect to the calculation of a Purchase Price, 96%; **provided**, that, if such Purchase Price per share would be lower than $1.00 when calculated using a Pricing Percentage equal to 96%, **"Pricing Percentage"** shall mean 94%.

**provided**, that,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) without the consent of the Purchaser, the Regular Purchase Price paid at any Closing shall not exceed the lower of (a) $500,000 and (b) 95% of the average Daily Traded Value of the Common Stock on the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding such Closing Date. Except as agreed by the Purchaser in its sole discretion, the dollar amount set forth in this **clause (i)** shall be lowered (but not raised), if applicable, to reflect the consummation of any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, share split and other similar transaction.

**"Daily Traded Value"** means, on any Trading Day, the product of (a) the daily trading volume of the Common Stock on the Principal Trading Market during regular trading hours, as reported by Bloomberg, L.P., and (b) the VWAP of the Common Stock for that Trading Day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) if the Regular Purchase Price to be paid at Closing would be less than the Regular Floor Price, the Purchaser shall have the option to reject such Advance Notice by notice to the Company, in which case such Advance Notice shall automatically, and without any further action by the Company, be void and without further force or effect;

**"Regular Floor Price"** means $0.45 per share of Common Stock; **provided,** that, such amount shall be lowered (if applicable) to reflect any reduction in the price per share of Common Stock caused by any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, share split or other similar transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) if the Pricing Percentage of the lowest VWAP for the Common Stock (the **"Adjusted Price**") in the period starting on the Closing Date and ending on the earlier of (x) ten (10) trading days after and (y) the date when the Purchaser shall have entered into committed, binding trades to sell all of the Purchased Securities purchased at such Regular Closing (the **"Adjustment Period"**) is lower than such Regular Purchase Price per share, then the Company shall, on the trading day immediately following the end of the Adjustment Period, issue additional Purchased Securities (the **"Adjustment Securities"**) to the Purchaser so as to ensure that the aggregate number of shares of Purchased Securities received by the Purchaser for such Regular Closing equals the number of shares it would have received if the Regular Purchase Price per share had been equal to the Adjusted Price;

**provided, further,** that in no event shall any Purchased Securities be issued or sold hereunder in connection with a Regular Closing unless such Purchased Securities shall be subject to an effective Registration Statement; and

**provided, further**, that if any Advance Notice requests a Regular Closing that would not comply with any of the foregoing, the number of shares of Common Stock requested in such Advance Notice shall, if possible, automatically, and without any further action by the Company, be reduced to the highest number of such shares that would cause such requested Closing to comply with all such clauses.

"**VWAP**" means, for or as of any date for any Security, the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) the dollar volume-weighted average price for such Security on the Principal Trading Market for such Security during the period beginning at 9:30:01 a.m., New York time, and ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York time, as reported by Bloomberg through its "VWAP" function; or,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) if Bloomberg does not report such a price, the dollar volume-weighted average price of such Security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such Security during the period beginning at 9:30:01 a.m., New York time, and ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York time, as reported by Bloomberg; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) if no dollar volume-weighted average price is reported for such Security by Bloomberg for such hours, the average of the highest Closing Bid Price and the lowest Closing Ask Price of any of the market makers for such Security on such date as reported in the "pink sheets" by OTC Markets Group Inc. (formerly Pink Sheets LLC); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) if the VWAP cannot be calculated for such Security on such date on any of the foregoing bases, the VWAP of such Security on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Purchaser.

All such determinations made in the calculation of **"VWAP"** shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction during such period.

"**Closing Bid Price**" and "**Closing Sale Price**" means, for any Security as of any date:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) the last closing bid price and last closing trade price, respectively, for such Security on the Principal Trading Market for such Security, as reported by Bloomberg; or

![](ex10-2_002.jpg)

(formerly Pink Sheets LLC); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(F) if the **"Closing Bid Price"** or the **"Closing Sale Price"** cannot be calculated for a Security on a particular date based on the foregoing, the "**Closing Bid Price"** and the **"Closing Sale Price"** of such Security on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Purchaser; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(G) if the Company and the Purchaser are unable to agree upon the fair market value of such Security, then such dispute shall be resolved, and such fair market value (and therefore the **"Closing Bid Price"** and **"Closing Sale Price"**) shall be determined, in accordance with the procedures set forth in **Section 5.6**.

All such determinations made in the calculation of **"Closing Bid Price"** or **"Closing Sale Price"** shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions during such period.

Irrespective of such reliance, the Purchaser shall in its calculation give effect to the conversion or exercise of such Stock Equivalents by the Purchaser or its Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The provisions of this **Section 1.1(f)** shall not be strictly interpreted in accordance with its terms as maybe necessary to correct any portion of this **Section 1.1(f)** that may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitations contained herein as they relate to applicable Regulations of the SEC or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.

**2.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser**. The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of each Closing Date to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date therein in which case they shall be accurate as of such date):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Organization; Authority**. The Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by the Purchaser, and when delivered by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject only to the Standard Enforceability Exceptions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) **Experience of The Purchaser**. The Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Purchased Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment.

Therefore, in the absence of any new agreement after the date hereof regarding such matters, the Purchaser does not have any duty of confidentiality (or a duty not to trade on the basis of material non-public information) to any Company Group Member any of their Related Parties, or any other person acting on their behalf, and is governed only by applicable Regulations. Each Company Group Member understands and confirms that the Purchaser is and shall be relying on the foregoing representations, warranties and covenants in effecting transactions in Transaction Securities and any other Securities of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Disclosure of Transaction Documents.** The Company shall issue a press release by 9 a.m. on the trading day next following the date hereof publicly announcing the execution of the Transaction Documents and shall file with the SEC a current report on Form 8-K or 1-U, as applicable, that includes the Transaction Documents as exhibits thereto within the time required by the Exchange Act. The Company represents and warrants to, and agree with, each Purchaser Party that, from and after such disclosure, it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to any Purchaser Party or their Related Parties (or their respective agents, contractors, trustees, representatives and advisors) by any Company Group Member (including through agents, contractors, trustees, representatives and advisors) in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Thereafter, to the extent any new Transaction Document (including any notice provided thereunder) could be argued to include any material non-public information, the Company shall within two (2) trading days disclose such Transaction Document on Form 8-K or 1-U, as applicable. From and after such disclosure, the Company represents and warrants to each Purchaser Party that it shall have publicly disclosed (and shall ensure that as part of such disclosure and thereafter it shall publicly disclose within two (2) trading days) all material, non-public information delivered to any Purchaser Party or any of their Related Parties (or their respective agents, contractors, trustees, representatives and advisors) by any Company Group Member or any of their Affiliates or any of their respective Related Parties (or their respective agents, contractors, trustees, representatives and advisors), in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. In addition, effective upon such disclosure, any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any Contractual Obligation, whether written or oral, between any Company Group Member, any of their Affiliates or any of their respective Related Parties (or their respective agents, contractors, trustees, representatives and advisors), on the one hand, and any Purchaser Party or any of their Related Parties (or their respective agents, contractors, trustees, representatives and advisors), on the other hand, shall immediately terminate and, from and after such disclosure, no such obligations shall be valid, even if entered into after the date of this Agreement (unless such obligation specifically mentions and refers to this **clause (a)** as inapplicable in a writing signed by such Purchaser Party), including "click through" agreements and confidentiality clauses incorporated in larger agreements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) **No Form D Filing.** This is a private transaction negotiated with, and tailored to, the Purchaser and no Securities were offered or sold to the Purchaser by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising. This transaction does not rely on Regulation D under the Securities Act and, therefore, the Company does not intend or need to file a Form D.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) **Press Releases and other Public Disclosures.** The Company and the Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing other press releases and making any other public disclosure with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and none of the Purchaser or any Company Group Member shall issue any such public disclosure without each other's prior consent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by Regulation, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Irrespective of the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of the Purchaser, or include the name of the Purchaser in any filing with the SEC or any Trading Market or any other Governmental Authority, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, except as required by Regulations, in which case the Company shall provide to the Purchaser prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this **clause (d)**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) **Use of Purchaser Trademark.** Notwithstanding anything else in any Transaction Document, no Company Group Member shall, and each Company Group Member shall ensure that their Subsidiaries do not, publicly disclose the name, trademark, service mark, symbol, logo (or any abbreviation, contraction or simulation thereof) of, or otherwise refer to, the Purchaser or any other Purchaser Party (including in any filing with the SEC, regulatory agency or Trading Market for any Securities of any Company Group Member or their Subsidiaries, including any Form 8-K or, as applicable, Form 1-U filing) without the prior consent of the Purchaser (including in any press release, letterhead, public announcement or marketing material), except, and then only after consulting with such Purchaser, to the extent required to do so under applicable Regulations (including as required in any registration statement filed with the SEC). None of the Company Group Members and their Affiliates shall represent that any Company Group Member or any of its Affiliates, any product or service of the Company Group Members or their Affiliates, or any know how or policy or practice of the Company Group Members or their Affiliates has been approved or endorsed by any Purchaser Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) **Financing Statements and Other Periodic Filings.** (i) The Company covenants to maintain the registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and shall not take any action or file any document (whether or not permitted by Exchange Act or the rules thereunder) to terminate or suspend its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act and (ii) the Company shall 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 date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. Whether or not the Company shall be subject to the Exchange Act, the Company shall meet the current public information requirements of Rule 144(c) under the Securities Act.

![](ex10-2_002.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) **Public Information Failure Payments.** At any time during the period commencing from the six (6)-month anniversary of the date hereof and ending at such time that all of the Transaction Securities have been sold or may be sold by the Purchaser without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if the Company shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) (a "**Public Information Failure**") then, in addition to the Purchaser's other available remedies, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell its Transaction Securities, an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchaser's Purchased Securities on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth (30<sup>th</sup>) day (pro-rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the earlier of (a) the date such Public Information Failure is cured and (b) such time that such public information is no longer required for the Purchaser to transfer pursuant to Rule 144 any Transaction Securities. The payments to which the Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant to this **Section 4.2(g)** are referred to herein as "**Public Information Failure Payments**." Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred and (ii) the third (3<sup>rd</sup>) business day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured. In the event the Company fails to make Public Information Failure Payments when required by the preceding sentence, such Public Information Failure Payments shall bear interest at the rate of two percent (2.0%) per month (accruing and due daily and prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Nothing herein shall limit the Purchaser's right to pursue actual damages for the Public Information Failure, and the Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief and recovery of loss profits.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) **Disclosures to the Purchaser.** The Company shall immediately notify the Purchaser in writing of the occurrence of any of the following, and any event that reasonably could cause any of the following to occur or that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would become any of the following: (i) any Suspension Event, (ii) any Disqualification Event relating to any Company Covered Person, (iii) any Change of Control, (iv) any Material Adverse Effect, (v) any Closing Condition becoming untrue at any time and (vi) any failure to comply with any Transaction Document. Each Company Group Member shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) business days) provide to each Purchaser Party any documents or other information requested by such Purchaser Party to determine compliance with any provision of any Transaction Document, to Sell any Transaction Security or to enforce its rights under any Transaction Document. "**Company Covered Person**" means any Company Group Member, any of its predecessors, any affiliated issuer, any director, executive officer, other officer of any Company Group Member, no beneficial owner of twenty percent (20%) or more of the Company's outstanding voting equity securities, calculated on the basis of voting power, nor any promoter (as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) connected with the Company in any capacity at the time of sale (as each such term is used and understood in Rule 506(d) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, each a "**Company Covered Person**"). "**Disqualification Event**" means being (i) subject to any of the "Bad Actor" disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) of Regulation D under the Securities Act except for the events listed in Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3) of Regulation D under the Securities Act or (ii) is subject to any event that would result in a disciplinary disclosure under Item 11 of Form ADV if such person was a "supervised person" (as defined for purposes of such Form ADV) of an investment adviser.

**4.3 DWAC Eligible, Freely Tradeable and Listed**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **DWAC.** The Company shall ensure that (i) its shares of Common Stock are and remain eligible at the Depository Trust Company (**"DTC**") for full services pursuant to DTC's operational arrangements, including transfer through DTC's Deposits/Withdrawal at Custodian (**"DWAC"**) system, and not subject to any restriction or limitation imposed by or on behalf of the Deposit Trust Corporation on any of its services or any other restriction or limitation on the use of the services provided by the Deposit Trust Corporation (i.e., a "DTC chill"), (ii) the Company has been approved (without revocation) by the DTC's underwriting department, (iii) the Transfer Agent is approved as an agent in the DTC's Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, (iv) all Transaction Securities are otherwise eligible for delivery via DWAC, and (v) the Transfer Agent does not have a policy prohibiting or limiting delivery of the Transaction Securities via DWAC (**"DWAC Eligible**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Freely Tradeable.** The Company shall ensure that all Transaction Securities (including the Effective Date Shares) are freely tradeable as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, such shares shall be deemed "**freely tradeable**" if such shares are eligible for resale pursuant to (i) Rule 144 (provided the Company is compliant with its current public information requirements) promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act or such shares are the subject of a then effective registration statement or (ii) an effective "shelf" or resale registration statement under the Securities Act, in customary form and reasonably acceptable to all of the holders thereof, is effective under the Securities Act, registering the resale of such Transaction Securities by all such holders and names all such holders as selling security holders thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) **Trading Markets.** The shares of Common Stock are trading, and the Company believes in good faith that they shall continue to trade uninterrupted, on the Principal Trading Market and all other Trading Markets for such Common Stock. All of the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to the Transaction Documents (including the Effective Date Shares) are listed or quoted for trading, and the Company shall use its best efforts to ensure that such shares continue to be listed or quoted for trading interrupted, on the Principal Trading Market and each such other Trading Market.

**4.4 Transfer Restrictions.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Transaction Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with applicable securities Regulations. In connection with any transfer of Transaction Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in **Section 4.4(b)**, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, at the Company's sole expense in the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Transaction Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, for as long as is required by this **Section 4.4**, of a legend on all of the Purchased Securities in the following form:

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES REGULATIONS, AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE OR PLEDGED AS SECURITY IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION WITHOUT RELIANCE ON AN EXEMPTION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES REGULATIONS. THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN FROM AN "ACCREDITED INVESTOR" AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser 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 its Transaction Securities to a financial institution that is a sophisticated investor and an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, the Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Transaction 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 the Company's expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Transaction Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Transaction Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) No certificate evidencing any Transaction Security shall contain any legend (including the legend set forth in **Section 4.4(b)**) in the following cases: (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such Transaction Security is effective under the Securities Act; (ii) following any sale of such Transaction Security pursuant to Rule 144; (iii) if such Transaction Security is eligible for sale under Rule 144; or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC). The Company shall upon request of the Purchaser and at the Company's sole expense cause its counsel (or at the Purchaser's option, exercised in its sole discretion, counsel selected by the Purchaser) to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly after any of the events described in (i)-(iv) in the preceding sentence to effect the removal of any legend (including that described in **Section 4.4(b)**), with a copy to the Purchaser and its broker. If any Transaction Security may be sold under Rule 144 or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC) then such Transaction Security shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following such time as such legend is no longer required under this **Section 4.4(c)**, it will, no later than two (2) trading days following the delivery by the Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing a Transaction Security issued with a restrictive legend (such second (2<sup>nd</sup>) trading day being referred to as the "**Legend Removal Date**" of such Transaction Securities of the Purchaser), instruct the Transfer Agent to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this **Section 4.4**. Certificates for the Transaction Securities subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser's prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by the Purchaser.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) In addition to the Purchaser's other available remedies, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, $1,000 per trading day for each trading day after the Legend Removal Date for such Transaction Securities of the Purchaser until such certificate is delivered without a legend. Nothing herein shall limit the Purchaser's right to pursue actual damages for the Company's failure to deliver certificates representing any Transaction Securities as required by the Transaction Documents, and the Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.

**4.5 Trading Activities of Purchaser**. Anything in this Agreement or elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding, it is understood and acknowledged by the Company that (i) the Purchaser has not been asked by the Company to agree, nor has the Purchaser agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling Transaction Securities of the Company or from entering into Short Sales or Derivatives based on securities issued by the Company or to hold the Transaction Securities for any specified term, (ii) past or future open market or other transactions by the Purchaser, specifically including Short Sales or Derivatives, before or after any Closing, as well as the closing of any future private placement transactions, may negatively impact the market price of the Company's publicly-traded securities, (iii) the Purchaser, and counter-parties in Derivatives to which the Purchaser is a party, directly or indirectly, may presently have a "short" position in the shares of Common Stock and (iv) the Purchaser shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm's length counter-party in any Derivative. The Company further understands and acknowledges that (y) the Purchaser may engage in hedging activities at various times during the period that the Transaction Securities are outstanding, including, during the periods that the number of Adjustment Securities are being determined, and (z) 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. The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities and Derivatives do not constitute a breach of any of the Transaction Documents.

**4.6 Indemnification of Each Purchaser Party**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Each Company Group Member shall, jointly and severally, indemnify against, and hold harmless from, the Purchaser, its Related Parties, each person who controls any of them (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and their agents, contractors, trustees, representatives and advisors (each, a "**Purchaser Party**") any and all Losses that any Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to any of the following: (a) the execution, existence, administration, performance or enforcement by any Purchaser Party of any of the Transaction Documents or consummation of any transaction described therein, including any real or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, or real or alleged omission of any material fact, in any SEC Report, including the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Prospectus Supplement and any other registration statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, (b) the existence of, perfection of, a Lien upon or the Sale or collection of, or any other damage, Loss, failure to return or other realization upon any asset, (c) any representation or warranty of any Company Group Member or any of their Related Parties in any Transaction Document being untrue when made or the failure of any Company Group Member or any of their Related Parties (whether directly or through their agents, contractors, trustees, representatives and advisors) to observe, perform or discharge any of the covenants or duties under any of the Transaction Documents, or (d) any Proceeding, whether or not any Purchaser Party is a party thereto (including Proceedings instituted by any Governmental Authority or any holder of any equity interest in, or other direct or indirect investor in, the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party) with respect to any of the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated therein. Additionally, if any Taxes (excluding Taxes imposed upon or measured solely by the net income of the recipient of any payment made under any Transaction Document, but including any intangibles tax, stamp tax, recording tax or franchise tax) shall be imposed on any Company Group Member or Purchaser Party, whether or not lawfully payable, on account of the execution or delivery of this Agreement, or the execution, delivery, issuance or recording of any of the other Transaction Documents, or the creation or repayment of any of obligations hereunder, by reason of any applicable Regulations now or hereafter in effect, each Company Group Member shall, jointly and severally, pay (or shall promptly reimburse such Purchaser Party for the payment of) all such Taxes, including any interest, penalties, expenses and other Losses with respect thereto), and will indemnify and hold the Purchaser Parties harmless from and against all Losses arising therefrom or in connection therewith. **The foregoing indemnities shall not apply to Losses (x) incurred by any Purchaser Party as a result of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or (y) incurred by any Purchaser Party and directly and solely caused by the Company Group Members including in SEC Reports or any prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto information about such Purchaser Party provided by such Purchaser Party and approved by such Purchaser Party for inclusion in such filing.** Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Transaction Document, the obligations of the Company Group Members with respect to each indemnity given by them in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents in favor of the Purchaser Parties shall survive the Sale of the Transaction Securities and the termination of this Agreement. The indemnification required by this **Section 4.6** shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnification contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against any Company Group Member or others and any liabilities any Company Group Member may be subject to pursuant to any Regulation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **"Losses"** means all liabilities, amounts due, rights, demands, covenants, duties, obligations (including indebtedness, receivables and other contractual obligations), claims, damages, Proceedings and causes of actions, settlements, judgments, damages, losses (including reductions in yield), debts, responsibilities, fines, penalties, sanctions, commissions and interest, disbursements, Taxes, interest, charges, costs, fees and expenses (including fees, charges, and disbursements of financial, legal and other advisors, consultants and professionals and, if applicable, any value-added and other taxes and charges thereon), in each case of any kind or nature, whether joint or several, whether now existing or hereafter arising and however acquired and whether or not known, asserted, direct, contingent, liquidated, due, consequential, actual, punitive or treble. "**Taxes"** means any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments, deductions, withholdings or other charges of whatever nature, including income, receipts, excise, property, sales, use, transfer, license, payroll, withholding, social security and franchise taxes now or hereafter imposed or levied by the United States or any other Governmental Authority and all interest, penalties, additions to tax and similar liabilities with respect thereto, but excluding, in the case of the Purchaser, taxes imposed on or measured by the net income or overall gross receipts of the Purchaser.

**ARTICLE V MISCELLANEOUS**

**5.1 Termination and Survival**. This Agreement shall terminate on the Termination Date or, if earlier, the (a) the date on which the Purchaser shall have, in the aggregate, a Purchase Price equal to the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price, (b) the date either party hereto effectively delivers notice to the other party of such termination, which notice may be given regardless of whether any Advance Notice has been issued and the Closing thereunder has not yet occurred (in which case such Advance Notice shall be deemed to be null and void). In addition, this Agreement may be terminated by the Purchaser by written notice to the Company, if the Effective Date has not occurred on or before the tenth (10<sup>th</sup>) business day following the date hereof. Termination of this Agreement will not affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by any other party (or parties) prior to such termination (including any failure by the Company to pay the Purchase Price or any fee, cost, expense or indemnity for which it is liable hereunder) and will not affect any obligation of the Company to deliver Adjustment Securities to the Purchaser with respect to a Closing having previously occurred. The representations and warranties, covenants and other provisions hereof shall survive each Closing and the delivery of the Purchased Securities. Notwithstanding any termination of any Transaction Document, the reimbursement and indemnities to which the Purchaser Parties are entitled under the provisions of any Transaction Document shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Purchaser Parties against events arising after such termination as well as before.

**5.2 Fees and Expenses**. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated or any Purchased Securities shall be purchased, the Company agrees to pay promptly to each Purchaser Party, or reimburse each Purchaser Party for, the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) all the actual and reasonable costs, fees and expenses of administration of the Transaction Documents, including the issuance, delivery, transfer, exercise or conversion of any Transaction Security and the removal of any legend thereon, the preparation, execution and closing of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to any Transaction Document or any Transaction Security and the execution of new Transaction Documents, including in each case the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel to such Purchaser Party in connection therewith and in connection with any other documents or matters requested by such Company Party (including through agents, contractors, trustees, representatives and advisors) or otherwise prepared or delivered in connection with any Transaction Document;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) all costs, fees and expenses (including the fees, expenses and disbursements of any auditors, experts, accountants, appraisers, consultants, advisors (including legal counsel, including allocated costs of internal counsel, advisors and agents employed or retained by such Purchaser Party and any investment bank, mediator, arbitrator or other party engaged to resolve any dispute or any other Proceeding, in each case whether or not any such person is jointly engaged with any Company Party or any other person), incurred by any Purchaser Party in enforcing any obligation owed hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents. or in collecting any payments due from any Company Party hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents or in any other Proceeding hereunder or under any Transaction Document (including costs of settlement) or in connection with any negotiations, reviews, refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder, including in the nature of a "work out" or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy Proceedings.

The foregoing shall be in addition to, and shall not be construed to limit, any other provisions of the Transaction Documents regarding indemnification and costs and expenses to be paid by the Company Group Members. Expenses shall be paid within 30 days after delivery of a demand therefor by the Purchaser. Any obligation to pay any amount or deliver any Security to any Purchaser Party under any Transaction Document that is not fulfilled when due shall bear interest at 24% per annum (which, in the case of an obligation to deliver Securities, shall be payable as additional Securities of the same type), from the date such obligation is due to the date it is fulfilled, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve thirty (30)-day periods, for the actual number of days occurring, in whole or in part, in such period. Any payment of any obligation to the Purchaser or any other Purchaser Party, and any delivery of any Security under any Transaction Document to the Purchaser or any other Purchaser Party, received after 3 p.m. on any day shall be deemed received (i) on the next business day, in the case of any such payment and (ii) on the next trading day, in the case of any such delivery.

**5.3 Modifications and Signatures**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Entire Agreement.** This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents contain and constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior negotiations, agreements, and understandings, whether written or oral, of the parties hereto, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, including any non-disclosure agreements or obligations of the Purchaser that may exist, all of which are hereby terminated pursuant to **Section 4.2(b)**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Amendments**. No amendment, modification or termination of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be effective without the written consent of the Company and the Purchaser. No waiver or consent shall be effective against any party unless given in writing by such party and then any such waiver shall then be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. Any modification effected in accordance with accordance with this **Section 5.3(b)** shall be binding upon the Purchaser, each other holder of Purchased Securities and the Company Group Members.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) **Beneficiaries; Successors and Assigns.** Except as otherwise expressly provided in any other Transaction Document with respect to such Transaction Document, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall bind and inure solely to the benefit of the Company Group Members, the Purchaser, the other Purchaser Parties, and their respective successors and, if permitted, assigns; **provided**, that no Company Group Member may assign, Sell, or Sell, issue, negotiate or grant participations in, all or any part of any right, obligation, benefit, title or interest under, including any remedy under, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, without the Purchaser's prior written consent and any assignment done without such consent shall be void *ab initio*. Unless otherwise expressly provided in any Transaction Document, the Purchaser may Sell, or Sell, issue, negotiate or grant participations in, all or any part of any right, obligation, benefit, title or interest under, including any remedy under, any Transaction Security or Transaction Document without the consent of any Company Group Member; **provided**, that any transferee of the rights, titles and obligations of the Purchaser under Transaction Documents shall agree in a writing for the benefit of the Purchaser and the Company to be bound, with respect to, and to the extent of, such Transaction Documents, by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the Purchaser and any such agreement shall be effective, to the extent of such transfer, to make such transferee a party to such Transferred Documents as the Purchaser and to be bound by, and benefit from, the provisions of such Transaction Documents applying to the Purchaser and shall, to the extent of such transfer, relieve the Purchaser of all of its obligations hereunder with respect to any event occurring after the effective date of such agreement; **provided**, **further**, that, upon the effectiveness of any such transfer, the Company shall agree to execute and deliver to the existing Purchaser and the new Purchasers new Transaction Documents (including this Agreement), each of which shall be identical to the existing Transaction Documents except that they shall, mutatis mutandis and in proportion to such transfer, reflect the identity of the new Purchasers after giving effect to, and to the extent of, such assignment (which may include the existing Purchaser) and, in the case of a partial transfer, their respective allocations of the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price (as well as ratable allocations of the limits set forth in **Sections 1.1(b)** and **1.1(c)**), as well as, if requested by the existing Purchaser or any new Purchaser, appropriate conforming changes to other provisions of any Transaction Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) **No Implied Waivers or Notice Rights***.* No notice to or demand on any Company Group Member, whether or not in any Proceeding, pursuant to any Transaction Document shall entitle any Company Group Member to any other or further notice (except as specifically required hereunder or under any other Transaction Document) or demand in similar or other circumstances. The failure by any Purchaser Party at any time or times to require strict performance by any Company Group Member of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or the granting of any waiver or indulgence shall not waive, affect or otherwise diminish any right of any Purchaser Party thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance with such provision, shall not affect, or operate a waiver under, any other provision of any Transaction Document (except as specifically mentioned) and shall not constitute a course of dealing by such Purchaser Party at variance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (and therefore, among other things, shall not be construed to require any notice by such Purchaser Party of its intent to require strict adherence to the terms of such Transaction Document in the future). No waiver of any Closing Condition, and no any default under or breach of any provision, condition or requirement of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any other or subsequent Closing Condition, default or breach of, or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; nor shall any failure, delay or omission of any party to exercise any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document waive, or otherwise impair in any manner, the exercise of such or any other right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. None of the foregoing actions shall in any way affect the ability of each Purchaser Party, in its discretion, to exercise any rights available to it under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or under applicable Regulations, except as specifically agreed in any written waiver or other modification made in accordance with accordance with this **Section 5.3**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) **Counterparts**. This Agreement and each Transaction Document may be executed in counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and both of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. In proving this Agreement in any Proceedings, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the party against whom such enforcement is sought. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document by email or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart by hand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) **Electronic Signatures***.* Each party agrees that the electronic signatures, whether digital or encrypted, of the parties included in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document are intended to authenticate this writing and to have the same force and effect as manual signatures. Electronic signature means any electronic sound, symbol, or process attached to or logically associated with a record and executed and adopted by a party with the intent to sign such record, including emailed electronic signatures. The Company expressly agrees that this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents are "transferable records" as defined in applicable Regulations relating to electronic transaction and that it may be created, authenticated, stored, transmitted and transferred in a manner consistent with and permitted by such applicable Regulations.

**5.4 Notices.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) All notices, requests, demands, and other communications to either party hereto given under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be in writing (including email) and shall be given to such party at the physical address or send to the email address set forth in the signature pages hereof or at such other physical address or email address as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose of notice to the Purchaser and the Company in accordance with the provisions of this **Section 5.4**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by mail, three (3) business days after such communication is deposited in the U.S. Mail with first class postage pre-paid, addressed to the noticed party at the address specified herein, (ii) if by nationally recognized overnight courier, when delivered with receipt acknowledged in writing by the noticed party, (iii) if given by personal delivery, when duly delivered with receipt acknowledged in writing by the noticed party or (iv) if given by email, when delivered (receipt by the sender of a receipt using the "return receipt" function or receipt of a reply email being presumptive evidence of receipt thereof); **provided**, that, if the Common Stock is listed on a Trading Market and such email is not sent prior to the last trading hour of the Principal Trading Market of the Common Stock on a trading day, such email shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of trading on the next trading day for such Principal Trading Market. Any notice that must be given **"promptly"** or **"immediately"** shall be given by email. Any written notice, request or demand that is not sent in conformity with the provisions hereof shall nevertheless be effective on the date that such notice, request or demand is actually received by the individual to whose attention at the noticed party such notice, request or demand is required to be sent.

**5.5 Set-Off**. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable Regulations and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each Purchaser Party is hereby authorized by the Company Group Members at any time or from time to time, without notice or demand to any Company Group Member or to any other person, any such notice or demand being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, including indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other indebtedness or other amounts at any time held or owing by such Company Group Member to or for the credit or the account of any Company Group Member or any of their Related Parties against and on account of any amounts due by any Company Group Member or any of their Related Parties to any Purchaser Party under any Transaction Documents (including from the purchase price to be disbursed hereunder for the purchase of the Purchased Securities), irrespective of whether or not such Purchaser Party shall have made any demand hereunder and although such obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured. If, as a result of such set off, appropriate or application, such Purchaser Party receives more than it is owed under any Transaction Document, it shall hold such amounts in trust for the other Purchaser Parties and transfer such amounts to the other Purchaser Parties ratably according to the amounts they are owed on the date of receipt.

**5.6 Dispute Resolution**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) In the case of a dispute between any Company Group Member and the Purchaser relating to or in connection with - or, when an agreement between any Company Group Member and the Purchaser is required hereunder, an inability to agree on - a Closing Bid Price, a Closing Sale Price, a VWAP or a fair market value (as the case may be) (including a dispute relating to the determination of any of the foregoing), the Company or the Purchaser (as the case may be) shall submit the dispute to the other party, by notice delivered as provided in **Section 5.4 (Notices)**, (i) if by the Company, within two (2) trading days after the occurrence of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute or (ii) if by the Purchaser, at any time after the Purchaser learned of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute. If the Purchaser and the Company are unable to promptly resolve such dispute on or prior to the second (2<sup>nd</sup>) trading day following such initial notice of such dispute, then the Purchaser may, at its sole option, select an independent, reputable investment bank to resolve such dispute.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Purchaser and the Company shall each deliver to such investment bank (i) a copy of the initial dispute submission so delivered in accordance with **clause (a)** and (ii) written documentation (together with such copy of such submission, the **"Required Dispute Documentation**") supporting its position with respect to such dispute, in each case, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) by the fifth (5<sup>th</sup>) trading day immediately following the date on which such investment bank is selected hereunder (the "**Dispute Submission Deadline**"). If either party fails to deliver all of the Required Dispute Documentation by the Dispute Submission Deadline, then such party shall no longer be entitled to (and hereby waives its right to) deliver or submit any document or other supporting evidence to such investment bank with respect to such dispute and such investment bank shall resolve such dispute based solely on the Required Dispute Documentation that was delivered to such investment bank prior to the Dispute Submission Deadline. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by both the Company and the Purchaser or otherwise requested by such investment bank, neither the Company nor the Purchaser shall be entitled to deliver or submit any written documentation or other support to such investment bank in connection with such dispute other than the Required Dispute Documentation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company and the Purchaser shall ensure that such investment bank determines the resolution of such dispute and notify the Company and the Purchaser of such resolution no later than ten (10) trading days immediately following the Dispute Submission Deadline. The fees and expenses of such investment bank shall be borne solely by the Company, and such investment bank's resolution of such dispute shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Each Company Group Member expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) this **Section 5.6** constitutes an agreement to arbitrate between the Company and the Purchaser (and constitutes an arbitration agreement) and that the Purchaser is authorized to apply for an order to compel arbitration in order to compel compliance with this **Section 5.6**, (ii) the terms of this Agreement and each other applicable Transaction Document shall serve as the basis for the selected investment bank's resolution of any dispute resolved under this **Section 5.6**, such investment bank shall be entitled (and is hereby expressly authorized) to make all findings, determinations and the like that such investment bank determines are required to be made by such investment bank in connection with its resolution of such dispute and in resolving such dispute such investment bank shall apply such findings, determinations and the like to the terms of this Agreement and any other applicable Transaction Documents, (iii) as described in **Section 5.7 (Governing Law; Courts**), the Purchaser (and only the Purchaser), in its sole discretion, shall have the right to submit any dispute described in this **Section 5.6** to any state or federal court and other Governmental Authorities in lieu of utilizing the procedures set forth in this **Section 5.6** and (iv) nothing in this **Section 5.6** shall limit the Purchaser from obtaining any injunctive relief or other equitable remedies (including with respect to any matters described in this **Section 5.6**).

**5.7 Governing Law; Courts.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) **Except as otherwise expressly provided in any other Transaction Document, this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and all claims, disputes, Proceedings, and matters related hereto or thereto or arising hereunder or thereunder or arising from or relating to the relationship among any of the parties hereto or thereto, are governed by, and shall be construed, interpreted and enforced exclusively in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware (without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions thereof to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware).** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **Any such Proceeding shall be brought exclusively in the Delaware state courts sitting in Wilmington, DE or the federal courts of the United States of America for the District of Delaware sitting in Wilmington, DE; provided, that the Purchaser and any Purchaser Party may bring Proceedings in other jurisdictions to enforce any Transaction Document.** Each Company Group Member (i) accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of such courts, (ii) irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue, whether based on the grounds of *forum non conveniens* or on the fact that such jurisdiction is improper or otherwise, or any other objection that such party is not subject to the jurisdiction of such courts, that it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any Proceeding in that jurisdiction, (iii) irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the service of process of any court referred to above in any Proceeding by the mailing of copies of the process to the parties hereto as provided in **Section 5.4 (Notices)** and (iv) irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that a final judgment in any such Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Service effected as provided in this manner will become effective ten (10) calendar days after the mailing of the process. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in any Transaction Document shall affect the right of any Purchaser Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Regulations or commence Proceedings or otherwise proceed against any Company Group Member in any other jurisdiction.

**5.8 Severability**. Any provision of any Transaction Document being held illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not affect any part of such provision not held illegal, invalid or unenforceable, any other provision of any Transaction Document or any part of such provision in any other jurisdiction, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any party. In addition, upon any determination that any such term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to modify the relevant Transaction Document so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

**5.9 Rescission and Withdrawal Right**. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser Party exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser Party may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

**5.10 Replacement of Certificates**. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Transaction 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 (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Transaction Securities.

**5.11 Remedies.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, the Purchaser will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. Including with respect to the delivery of Purchased Securities at any Closing. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations of any Company Group Member contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If any Company Group Member shall fail to discharge any covenant, duty or obligation hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents, the Purchaser may, in its discretion at any time, for the account and at the expense of the Company Group Members jointly and severally, pay any amount or do any act required of such Company Group Member hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by the Purchaser (including buying replacement Securities in the Principal Trading Market of such Securities in case of failure by the Company to deliver Securities). All fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with the taking of any such action shall be reimbursed to the Purchaser by the Company Group Members, jointly and severally, on demand, with interest accruing daily thereon at the rate specified in **Section 5.2 (Fees and Expenses)**. Any payment made or other action taken by the Purchaser under this **clause (b)** shall be without prejudice to any right to assert, and without waiver of, any breach of any Transaction Document and without prejudice to any Purchaser Party's right to proceed thereafter as provided herein or in any of the other Transaction Documents.

![](ex10-2_002.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The remedies provided in this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under any Transaction Document, whether at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Nothing in any Transaction Document shall limit any Purchaser Party's rights to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by any Company Group Member to comply with the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Each Company Group Member acknowledges and agrees that any breach of or default under any Transaction Document will cause irreparable harm to each Purchaser Party and the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. Therefore, in the event of any such breach or default, each such Purchaser Party shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any such breach or any such threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

**5.12 Marshaling; Payment Set Aside**. No Purchaser Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any property in favor of any Company Group Member or any other party or against or in payment of any amount due under any Transaction Document. To the extent that any Company Group Member makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser Party pursuant to any Transaction Document or any Purchaser Party 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 any Company Group Member, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any Regulation (including 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, the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies thereunder, 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.

**5.13 Usury**. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Company Group Member hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any Proceeding that may be brought by any Purchaser Party in order to enforce any right or remedy under any Transaction Document. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of each Company Group Member under the Transaction Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable Regulations (the "**Maximum Rate**") and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest that any Company Group Member may be obligated to pay under the Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents from the effective date thereof forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable Regulations. If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by any Company Group Member to any Purchaser Party with respect to any obligation owing under any Transaction Document, such excess shall be applied to any other outstanding obligation under any Transaction Document or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at the election of the Purchaser.

**5.14 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.

**5.15 Further Assurances**. The Company Group Members agree to take such further actions as the Purchaser shall reasonably request from time to time in connection herewith to evidence, give effect to or carry out this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

**5.16 Interpretation**. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have 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 any Transaction Document. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Transaction Document, if the last or appointed day for a payment, the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted under any Transaction Document shall not be a business day, then such payment may be made, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding business day.
