 date, does not exceed the Maximum Outstanding Amount; and

(vi) the Company shall have

Each Loan Request delivered to Lender under this Agreement shall constitute Borrower's representation, warranty and certification to Lender that the conditions set forth in this Section 2.05 with respect to such Loan and Loan Date have been fully satisfied (except to the extent otherwise specifically set forth therein.

Section 2.06 <u>Interest</u>. Each Loan shall bear interest accruing at an annual rate of twelve percent (12%), calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve 30 calendar day periods, and shall accrue daily commencing on the Loan Date until paid in full.

Section 2.07 <u>Maturity Date; Revolving Loans; Final Loan Date</u>. On the Maturity Date, the entire Payment Amount (or, if an Event of Default shall have previously occurred, the Default Amount) shall become due and payable. All outstanding Loans: (i) shall be payable in full on the Maturity Date or may be paid or pre-paid, in whole or in any part, to the Lender prior to the Maturity Date, and (ii) may thereafter be borrowed or reborrowed (subject to Section 2.05). All payments of principal of any Loan or Loans hereunder shall be accompanied by the payment in full of all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no Loans may be requested or made hereunder on any date that is after the tenth (10<sup>th</sup>) Business Day preceding the Maturity Date (the "**Final Loan Date**").

Section 2.08 Voluntary Termination. The Borrower may, upon at least five (5) Business Days' prior written notice to the Lender, terminate this Agreement; provided that (a) no such termination shall be effective until all outstanding Loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts owing hereunder, have been paid in full, and (b) upon such termination, the Borrower's right to request any further Loans hereunder shall immediately and permanently cease. Any such termination shall not affect the rights or obligations of the parties with respect to any Loans made prior to such termination or any provisions of this Agreement that by their terms survive termination.

Section 2.09 <u>Maximum Outstanding Amount</u>. If at any time for any reason whatsoever the sum of the principal balance of all outstanding Loans exceeds the Maximum Outstanding Amount, then in each case, Borrower will immediately pay to Lender such amounts as shall be necessary to eliminate such excess.

Section 2.10 <u>Payments</u>. The payment and performance of all Loans and other obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents shall constitute the absolute and unconditional obligations of Borrower and shall be independent of any defense or rights of set-off, recoupment or counterclaim which Borrower or any other Person might otherwise have against Lender or any other Person. All Loans and payments required by the Loan Documents shall be made in United States Dollars and paid free of any deductions or withholdings for any taxes or other amounts and without abatement, diminution or set-off. If Borrower is required by applicable law to make such a deduction or withholding from a payment under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, Borrower shall pay to Lender such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, Lender receives (free from any liability in respect of any such deduction or withholding) a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received and so retained had no such deduction or withholding been made or required to be made. Borrower shall (i) pay the full amount of any deduction or withholding, which it is required to make by law, to the relevant authority within the payment period set by applicable law, and (ii) promptly after any such payment, deliver to Lender an original (or certified copy) official receipt issued by the relevant authority in respect of the amount withheld or deducted or, if the relevant authority does not issue such official receipts, such other evidence of payment of the amount withheld or deducted as is reasonably acceptable to Lender.

Section 2.11 <u>Accounting</u>. Lender shall maintain a loan account for Borrower reflecting all outstanding Loans, along with interest accrued thereon and such other items reflected therein (the "**Loan Account**") and shall provide Borrower upon request with a monthly accounting reflecting the activity in the Loan Account. Each such accounting shall be deemed correct, accurate and binding on Borrower (excepting manifest errors), unless Borrower notifies Lender in writing to the contrary within five (5) days after such account is rendered, describing the nature of any alleged error(s). However, Lender's failure to maintain such accounting or to provide any such accounting shall not affect the legality or binding nature of any of the obligations of Borrower hereunder. Interest and other monetary obligations due and owing under this Agreement may, in Lender's discretion, be charged to Borrower hereunder, and will thereafter be deemed to be Loans and will bear interest at the same rate as other Loans.

Section 2.12 <u>Further Obligations; Maximum Lawful Rate</u>. With respect to all monetary obligations for which the interest rate is not otherwise specified herein (whether such obligations arise hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or otherwise), such obligations shall bear interest at the rate(s) in effect from time to time with respect to the applicable Loan and shall be payable upon demand by Lender. In no event shall the interest charged with respect to any Loan or any other obligation exceed the maximum amount permitted under applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or elsewhere, if at any time the rate of interest payable or other amounts hereunder or under any other Loan Document (the "**Stated Rate**") would exceed the highest rate of interest or other amount permitted under any applicable law to be charged (the "**Maximum Lawful Rate**"), then for so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest and other amounts payable hereunder shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; *provided* that if at any time thereafter the Stated Rate is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, continue to pay interest and such other amounts at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest and other such amounts received is equal to the total interest and other such amounts which would have been received had the Stated Rate been (but for the operation of this provision) the interest rate payable or such other amounts payable. Thereafter, the interest rate and such other amounts payable shall be the Stated Rate unless and until the Stated Rate again would exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate, in which event this provision shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest or other such amounts received by Lender exceed the amount which it could lawfully have received had the interest and other such amounts been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. If, notwithstanding the prior sentence, Lender has received interest or other such amounts hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, such excess amount shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Loans or to other obligations (other than interest) payable hereunder, and if no such principal or other obligations are then outstanding, such excess or part thereof remaining shall be paid to Borrower. In computing interest payable with reference to the Maximum Lawful Rate applicable to any Lender, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made.

There are no other organizational or charter documents of the Borrower. The Borrower is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, could not have or reasonably be expected to result in: (i) a material adverse effect on the legality, validity or enforceability of any Loan Document; (ii) a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or any of its material assets or lines of business, individually; or (iii) a material adverse effect on the Borrower's ability to perform in any material respect on a timely basis its obligations under any Loan Document (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a "**Material Adverse Effect**") and no Proceeding has been instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority or qualification; *provided, however*, that "Material Adverse Effect" shall not include any event, occurrence, fact, condition or change, directly or indirectly, arising out of or attributable to: (i) general economic or political conditions, (ii) conditions generally affecting the industry in which the Borrower or any Subsidiary operates, (iii) any changes in financial or securities markets in general, (iv) acts of war (whether or not declared), armed hostilities or terrorism, or the escalation or worsening thereof, (v) any pandemic, epidemics or human health crises (including COVID-19), (vi) any changes in applicable laws or accounting rules, (vii) the announcement, pendency or completion of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or (viii) any action required or permitted by the Loan Documents or any action taken (or omitted to be taken) with the written consent of or at the written request of the Lender.

Each Loan Document to which it is a party has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Borrower and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally; (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies; and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>No Conflicts</u>. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the consummation by the Borrower of the other transactions contemplated hereby does not and will not: (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Borrower's certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents; (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Borrower, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Borrower debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Borrower is a party or by which any property or asset of the Borrower is bound or affected; or (iii) to the Borrower's knowledge, subject to the Required Approvals, conflict with or result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Borrower is subject (including federal and State Securities Laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Borrower is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Filings, Consents and Approvals</u>. The Borrower is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority or other Person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Loan Documents, other than: (i) such consents, waivers, or authorizations as have been obtained before the Closing; and (ii) the filing of a Current Report with the Commission, as applicable, and such filings as may be required to be made under applicable State Securities Laws (collectively, the "**Required Approvals**").

The capitalization of the Borrower is as set forth in the SEC Reports. Except in instances where valid waivers have been obtained, no Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar right to participate in the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents.

The Loans will not obligate the Borrower or any Subsidiary to issue Common Stock or other securities to any Person and will not result in a right of any holder of Borrower securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such securities. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Borrower are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in compliance with all federal and state securities laws, and none of such outstanding shares was issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities. Except for the Required Approvals and waivers that have heretofore been obtained, no further approval or authorization of any stockholder, the Board of Directors or others is required for the Loans. There are no stockholder agreements, voting agreements or other similar agreements with respect to the Borrower's capital stock to which the Borrower is a party or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, between or among any of the Borrower's stockholders.

Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Borrower or a Subsidiary is held by it under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases, s with which the Borrower or such Subsidiary (as applicable) are in compliance.

Except with respect to: (i) the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; and (ii) information given to the Lender, if any, which the Borrower hereby confirms will not constitute material non-public information, the Borrower confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Lender or their agents or counsel with any information that it believes constitutes or might constitute material, nonpublic information. The Borrower understands and confirms that the Lender will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting transactions in securities of the Borrower. All disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Lender regarding the Borrower, its business and the transactions contemplated hereby, is true and correct and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

The Borrower will not, after the Closing Date, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Borrower has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date.

The Borrower further represents to the Lender that the Borrower's decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Borrower and its representatives.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Authority; Organization</u>. The Lender has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform all obligations required to be performed by it hereunder. If an entity, The Lender is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with full right, corporate or partnership power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and performance by the Lender of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or similar action on the part of the Lender. Each Loan Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by the Lender, and when delivered by the Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Lender, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

The Lender, 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 Loan, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of making such a Loan. The Lender is able to bear the economic risk of making the Loan and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such Loan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>No Trading Market</u>. The Lender acknowledges that there is currently no trading market for the Loans and that none is expected to develop for the Loans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Confidentiality</u>. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement and its advisors who have agreed to keep information confidential or have a fiduciary obligation to keep such information confidential, the Lender has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with the transaction (including the existence and terms of this 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;(e) <u>Foreign Lender</u>. If the Lender is not a United States person, the Lender represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction, including: (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the making of the Loans, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the making of the Loans. The Lender further represents that its making of any Loan will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of its jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Information from Borrower</u>. The Lender and its investment managers, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to obtain any information necessary to verify the accuracy of any representations or information presented by the Borrower in this Agreement and have had all inquiries to the Borrower answered, and have been furnished all requested materials, relating to the Borrower and the Loan and anything set forth in the Loan Documents. Neither the Lender nor the Lender's investment managers, if any, have been furnished any transaction literature by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, associates, or agents other than the Loan Documents, and the agreements referenced therein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) <u>Money Laundering</u>. The operations of the Lender are and have been conducted at all times in compliance with applicable financial record-keeping and reporting requirements of the Money Laundering Laws, and no Action or Proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Lender with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the knowledge of the Lender, threatened.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) <u>Office of Foreign Assets Control</u>. Neither Lender nor, to the Lender's knowledge, any director, officer, agent, employee, Affiliate of the Lender, is currently subject to any United States sanctions administered by OFAC; and such Lender has not obtained the funds to be remitted as Loans, directly or indirectly, from any country or person currently subject to any of the sanctions of the United States administered by OFAC.

&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) <u>No Brokers</u>. No brokers, finders or other similar advisory fees or commissions will be payable by the Borrower or any Subsidiary or by any of their respective agents with respect to the Loans or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Documents through any act of omission on the part of the Lender.

The Lender acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in Section 3.01 shall not modify, amend or affect the Borrower's right to rely on the Lender's representations and warranties contained in this Section 3.02 or elsewhere in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Loan Document, or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 5.02 <u>Qualified Public Equity Offering</u>. From the date of this Agreement until the earlier to occur of (i) the Maturity Date, and (ii) the repayment in full of all Loans in the Payment Amount (or, if an Event of Default shall have previously occurred, the Default Amount), Borrower will use its commercially reasonable efforts to consummate a Qualified Public Equity Offering as soon as practicable, and Lender shall cooperate with Borrower in connection therewith; *provided*, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to consummate any such Qualified Public Equity Offering on terms that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors, are not in the best interests of the Borrower and its stockholders.

Section 5.03 <u>Publicity</u>. The Borrower and the Lender shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Borrower nor the Lender shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Borrower with respect to any press release of the Lender, or without the prior consent of the Lender with respect to any press release of the Borrower mentioning the Lender, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication.

Section 5.04 <u>Indemnification of Lender</u>. The Borrower shall indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless the Lender and its partners, members, shareholders, officers, directors, employees and agents (and any other persons with other titles that have similar functions) (collectively, "**Indemnitees**") from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, suits, costs and expenses, of any kind or nature, (including fees relating to the cost of investigating and defending any of the foregoing) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee in any way related to or arising from or alleged to arise from: (i) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Borrower in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents and (ii) any action instituted against such Indemnitee in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Borrower who is not an Affiliate of such Indemnitee, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of such Indemnitee's representations, warranties or covenants under the Loan Documents or any agreements or understandings such Indemnitee may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such Indemnitee of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Indemnitee which results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitee as determined by a final, nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction).

Section 5.05 Loan Contingency, Board Reconstitution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Board Reconstitution. In connection with the implementation of the revolving credit facility contemplated by this Agreement, the Borrower shall cause (i) the Departing Directors to resign from the Board of Directors, and (ii) the Remaining Directors to elect or appoint the Lender Board Nominees to the Board of Directors, in each case effective no later than [the Closing Date]. Following such reconstitution, the Board of Directors shall consist of five (5) members, of whom three (3) shall be Lender Board Nominees and two (2) shall be the Remaining Directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Snap-Back Provision</u>. If the Qualified Public Equity Offering is not consummated within 50 days following the Closing Date (as such period may be extended pursuant to this Section 5.05(b), the "**Qualified Public Equity Offering Deadline**"), then each Lender Board Nominee shall resign from the Board of Directors effective immediately upon the expiration of such period; *provided*, *however*, that such 50-day period shall be tolled during any period in which the consummation of the Qualified Public Equity Offering is delayed due to regulatory review or approval processes by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Nasdaq, or any other applicable regulatory authority (each, a "**Regulatory Delay**"), and the Qualified Public Equity Offering Deadline shall be extended on a day-for-day basis for each day of such Regulatory Delay. The Lender shall cause each Lender Board Nominee to deliver to the Borrower an irrevocable letter of resignation, contingent upon the occurrence of the Qualified Public Equity Offering Deadline without the consummation of the Qualified Public Equity Offering, concurrently with his or her appointment to the Board of Directors. Upon the effectiveness of such resignations, the Borrower shall be entitled to fill the resulting vacancies on the Board of Directors in accordance with the Borrower's bylaws and applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Cooperation</u>. Each party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the Qualified Public Equity Offering prior to the Qualified Public Equity Offering Deadline. The Borrower and the Lender shall cooperate in good faith to effect the board reconstitution contemplated by this Section 5.05, including by executing and delivering all documents and instruments, and taking all other actions, as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the intent of this provision.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Lender Board Nominee Rights and Obligations</u>. During the period in which the Lender Board Nominees serve on the Board of Directors, each Lender Board Nominee shall (i) be entitled to the same rights, privileges, indemnification and insurance coverage as all other members of the Board of Directors, and (ii) be subject to the same fiduciary duties and obligations applicable to all other members of the Board of Directors under applicable law and the Borrower's organizational documents. The Borrower shall not amend its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of the Lender Board Nominees without the prior written consent of the Lender.

Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such New York Courts, or such New York Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding.

Section 6.08 <u>Survival</u>. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and each Loan Date.

Section 6.09 <u>Execution</u>.

Section 6.10 <u>Severability</u>. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

Section 6.11 <u>Rescission and Withdrawal Right</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Loan Documents, whenever the Lender exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Loan Document and the Borrower does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then the Lender may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Borrower, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

Section 6.12 <u>Replacement of Note</u>.

Section 6.13 <u>Remedies</u>. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Lender and the Borrower will be entitled to seek specific performance under the Loan 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 Loan 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.

Section 6.14 <u>Payment Set Aside</u>.

Section 6.15 <u>Construction</u>. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Loan Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Loan Documents or any amendments hereto.

Section 6.17 <u>Termination</u>. Lender may terminate this Agreement at any time in its sole discretion upon written notice to the Borrower; *provided*, *however*, that if the Lender terminates this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be required to repay any outstanding Obligations under this Agreement until the Maturity Date, and such Obligations shall remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest in accordance with the terms of this Agreement until the Maturity Date.
