**FOR VALUE RECEIVED**, Amaze Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "**Maker**" or the "**Company**"), hereby promises to pay to the order of C/M Capital Master Fund, LP, or its assigns (the "**Holder**") the principal sum of $________________ (the "**Principal**") pursuant to the terms of this Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note (this "**Note**"). In exchange for delivery of this Note on the Original Issuance Date referred to above, the Holder has delivered to the Company the Subscription Amount, as defined in the Purchase Agreement, as defined in Section 1.1. This Note has been issued together with the other Notes purchased by other holders pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (the "**Other Notes**").

Unless earlier converted pursuant to the terms of Article 3, the maturity date of this Note shall be 18 months from the Original Issuance Date of this Note, which is specified above (the "**Maturity Date**"), unless the Holder has given notice to the Maker that it elects to accelerate the Maturity Date to the extent explicitly permitted by this Note. The Maturity Date is the date upon which the Principal and other amounts shall be due and payable unless earlier due or prepaid or converted. This Note may not be repaid in whole or in part except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein.

This Note is secured by a first priority senior security interest as evidenced by and to the extent and subject to the provisions set forth in that certain Security Agreement by and among the Maker and its Subsidiaries and the Holder dated as of the Original Issuance Date (the "**Security Agreement**"). The full amount of this Note and all the cash payment obligations of the Company under the Transaction Documents shall be guaranteed in full by each Subsidiary pursuant to a Guarantee Agreement as defined in and in the form attached as an exhibit to the Purchase Agreement. All capitalized words and terms which are not descriptive shall have the meaning contained in Section 5.12 of this Note or in the Purchase Agreement, as defined in Section 1.1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.1. <u>Purchase Agreement</u>. This Note has been executed and delivered pursuant to, and is issued pursuant to, the Securities Purchase Agreement entered into by and among the Company and the Investors named therein (including the Holder) (the "**Purchase Agreement**"), and is subject to, and incorporates, the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.2. <u>Interest</u>.

&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>Interest Rate</u>. Absent the occurrence of an Event of Default, no interest shall accrue hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Default Interest</u>. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, interest shall accrue hereunder at a rate equal to 10% per annum or, if less, the highest amount permitted by law (such interest upon an Event of Default shall be referred to as "**Default Interest**"), shall compound monthly based upon a 360-day year, and shall be due and payable on the first Trading Day of each month during the continuance of such Event of Default (a "**Default Interest Payment Date**"). In the event that such Event of Default is subsequently cured and no other Event of Default then exists (including, without limitation, for the Company's failure to pay such Default Interest on the applicable Default Interest Payment Date), the Default Interest shall cease to accrue hereunder as of the day immediately following the date of such cure; <u>provided that</u> the Default Interest as calculated and unpaid at such increased rate during the continuance of such Event of Default shall continue to apply to the extent relating to the days after the occurrence of such Event of Default through and including the date of such cure of such Event of Default, and provided further that in upon a cure of an Event of Default in accordance with this Note, interest shall accrue in accordance with Section 1.2(a).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.3. <u>Subsequent Financings</u>. For purposes of this Section 1.3, the Company shall notify the Holder in writing in advance of any kind of financing including through the issuance of any equity securities and the Holder may participate in such financing by exchanging a portion of this Note representing the Holder's Pro Rata Portion of up to 100% of the securities or instruments to be offered and sold in such financing, which exchange shall be made at a 10% discount to the price per share, unit or other instrument being sold in such financing. For example, if a financing contemplates the sale of Common Stock at a price of $5.00 per share and the Holder elects to exchange $100,000 of this Note for shares of Common Stock in such financing, the exchange price per share of Common Stock would be $4.00, and the Holder would receive 25,000 Conversion Shares in such exchange. For purposes of this Note, "**Pro Rata Portion**" shall mean the percentage determined by dividing (A) the Principal and accrued and unpaid interest and other sums payable under this Note held by the Holder, by (B) the total Principal and accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts payable under all Notes then outstanding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.4. <u>Replacement</u>. Upon receipt of a duly executed Affidavit of Loss and Indemnity Agreement in customary form from the Holder with respect to the loss, theft or destruction of this Note (or any replacement hereof), or, in the case of a mutilation of this Note, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note, the Maker shall issue a new Note, of like tenor and amount, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note. The Holder shall not be required to post a bond or other security.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.5. <u>Status of Note</u>. The obligations of the Maker under this Note shall rank senior to all other existing Indebtedness, and equity of the Company to the extent of the first lien security interest in the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) pursuant to the Security Agreement, other than the Other Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement with which the obligations under this Note shall rank pari passu. Upon any Liquidation Event (as hereinafter defined), but subject in all cases to the Purchase Agreement, the Holder will be entitled to receive, before any distribution or payment is made upon, or set apart with respect to, any Indebtedness of the Maker ranking junior to this Note in right of payment, an amount equal to the outstanding Principal, interest and any other sums due. For purposes of this Note, "**Liquidation Event**" means merger or consolidation of the Company with another entity in which the Company is not the surviving entity (except where the sole purpose is to change the domicile of the Company), the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in one or more related transactions, a liquidation pursuant to a filing of a petition for bankruptcy under applicable law or any other insolvency or debtor's relief, an assignment for the benefit of creditors, a determination by a Governmental Authority that the Company (which includes its Subsidiaries) cannot carry on its business substantially consistent with the prior ordinary course of its business, or a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Maker.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1. <u>Events of Default</u>. An "**Event of Default**" under this Note shall mean the following (unless the Event of Default is waived in writing by the Holder):

&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) Any default in the payment of the Principal, interest or other sums due under this Note when due (whether on the Maturity Date, by acceleration or otherwise);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2. <u>Remedies Upon an Event of Default</u>.

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default that has not been remedied, if reasonably capable of being remedied, or waived within ten Trading Days, the Maker shall be obligated to pay to the Holder the Mandatory Default Amount, which Mandatory Default Amount shall be immediately due and payable to the Holder; p<u>rovided</u>, <u>however</u>, that there shall be no cure period for an Event of Default described in Section 2.1(g), 2.1(j) or 2.1(k

&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) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default known to the Maker, the Maker shall, as promptly as possible but in any event within two Trading Days of the occurrence of such Event of Default, notify the Holder of the occurrence of such Event of Default, describing the event or factual situation giving rise to the Event of Default and specifying the relevant subsection or subsections of Section 2.1 hereof under which such Event of Default has occurred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Subject to Section 2.2(a), upon the occurrence of any Event of Default that has not been remedied, if reasonably capable of being remedied, or waived within three Trading Days, the Holder may at any time at its option declare, by written notice to the Maker, the Mandatory Default Amount due and payable, and thereupon, the Maturity Date shall be accelerated and so due and payable within three Trading Days of receipt of such notice. Upon the failure of the Maker to cure an Event of Default within the time permitted by this Note, or if the Event of Default is not capable of being cured, the remedies provided in this Note including the use of the Alternative Conversion Price shall continue and not be affected by any cure.

&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) The provisions of Section 3.2(b) and (c) shall also apply upon any Events of Default relating to Conversion Shares in addition to the remedies under this Section 2.2.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1. <u>Conversion</u>.

&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>Conversion</u>. At any time after the Original Issuance Date, this Note shall be convertible (in whole or in part) at the option of the Holder into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing (x) that portion of the outstanding Principal and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon that the Holder elects to convert (the "**Conversion Amount**") by (y) the Applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date on which the Holder delivers to the Maker a notice of conversion in substantially the form attached hereto as <u>Exhibit A</u> (the "**Conversion Notice**") in accordance with Section 5.1. The Holder shall deliver this Note to the Maker at the address designated in the Purchase Agreement at such time that this Note is fully converted. With respect to partial conversions of this Note, the Maker shall keep written records of the amount of this Note converted as of the date of such conversion (each, a "**Conversion Date**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Conversion Price</u>. The "**<u>Conversion Price</u>**" means $0.15 (the "**Fixed Conversion Price**") as such Fixed Conversion Price may be adjusted as provided herein. <u>Provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that if any Conversion Price under the foregoing definition results in a fractional amount, the fractional amount shall be rounded down to the nearest whole cent. For avoidance of doubt, all references in this Note to the Fixed Conversion Price or any other Conversion Price including the Alternative Conversion Price shall be construed to include adjustments as provided in this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing without cure after any cure period provided for in the Purchase Agreement or the Company shall have failed to meet the Equity Conditions and while such failure is continuing, the Holder may convert this Note at the Alternative Conversion Price.

&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) If the Company receives a Conversion Notice at a time at which the Conversion Price (or, as applicable, the Alternative Conversion Price) then in effect (as applicable, the "**Applicable Conversion Price**") (without regard to the Floor Price) is less than the Floor Price then in effect (unless such Floor Price is lowered with the written consent of the Company and the Holder, which may be by e-mail), the Company shall issue a number of shares equal to the Conversion Amount divided by such Floor Price and pay the economic difference between the Applicable Conversion Price (without regard to the Floor Price) and such Floor Price in cash. For further clarification, the economic difference shall be equal to (A) the number of shares that would have been delivered using the Applicable Conversion Price, minus (B) the number of shares delivered using the Floor Price, multiplied by (C) the daily VWAP of the Common Stock on the Conversion Date ((A-B)\*C).

&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>Voluntary Adjustment of Fixed Conversion Price</u>. Subject to the rules and regulations of the Principal Market, the Company may at any time during the term of this Note, with the prior written consent of the Holder, reduce the then current Fixed Conversion Price of the Note to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.

&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) With respect to any conversion pursuant to this Note, the Holder shall be deemed to own the Conversion Shares resulting therefrom for purposes of the Securities Act upon the Holder delivering the Conversion Notice to the Company.

&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) In addition to other provisions of this Section 3.1, the Fixed Conversion Price shall be repriced to the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on its Principal Market on the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement if less than the Fixed Conversion Price at the time of effectiveness.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2. <u>Delivery of Conversion Shares</u>.

&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) As soon as practicable after any conversion in accordance with this Note, and in any event within the Standard Settlement Period thereafter (such date, the "**Share Delivery Date**"), the Maker shall, at its expense, cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as the Holder may direct, a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of shares of fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled on such conversion (the "**Conversion Shares**"), in the applicable denominations based on the applicable conversion, which certificate or certificates shall be free of restrictive and trading legends (except for any such legends as may be required under the Securities Act). In lieu of delivering physical certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon any conversion of this Note, provided the Company's transfer agent (the "**Transfer Agent**") is participating in the Depository Trust Company ("**DTC**") DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program ("**FAST**") or a similar program, upon request of the Holder, the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to electronically transmit such Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note to the Holder (or its designee), by crediting the account of the Holder's (or such designee's) broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian system (<u>provided that</u> the same time periods herein as for stock certificates shall apply) as instructed by the Holder (or its designee).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Obligation Absolute</u>. The Company's obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against the Holder. In the event the Holder of this Note shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding Principal and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon (if any) hereof, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, issued with prior notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Note shall have been sought and obtained, and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of 150% of the outstanding Principal and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon (if any) of this Note, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Company shall issue the Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon delivery of a Conversion Notice.

&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) The Company's Failure to Timely Convert.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason, on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Date, if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, to issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate for the number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder is entitled and register such Conversion Shares on the Company's share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, to credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder's designee with DTC for such number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder's conversion of this Note (as the case may be) (a "**Conversion Failure**"), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Holder may by notice to the Company (in lieu of receiving such Conversion Shares subject to such Conversion Failure), require the Company to prepay, in cash, the Conversion Amount in such Conversion Failure at a prepayment price equal to the Mandatory Default Amount with respect to such Conversion Amount arising from such Conversion Failure. In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to the Share Delivery Date, if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company's share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, the Transfer Agent shall fail to credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder's designee with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder's conversion hereunder or pursuant to the Company's obligation pursuant to clause (II) below, and if on or after such Share Delivery Date the Holder acquires (in an open market transaction, stock loan or otherwise) shares of Common Stock corresponding to all or any portion of the number of shares of Conversion Shares that the Holder is entitled to receive from the Company and has not received from the Company in connection with such Conversion Failure (a "**Buy-In**"), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall, within two Trading Days after receipt of the Holder's request and in the Holder's discretion, either: (I) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, mark-ups, stock loan costs and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so acquired (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) (the "**Buy-In Price**"), at which point the Company's obligation to so issue and deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder's designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder's conversion hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (II) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder's designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder's conversion hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (x) such number of shares of Common Stock multiplied by (y) the lowest closing sale price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the applicable Conversion Notice and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this clause (II) (the "**Buy-In Payment Amount**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) <u>Conversion Failures</u>. In the event of a Conversion Failure, the Maker shall also pay to the Holder, in cash, (i) as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of the Conversion Amount, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date until the number of shares of Common Stock the Holder shall be entitled on such conversion has been issued and delivered to the Holder. Nothing shall limit the Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company's failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock (or to electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock) upon the conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

&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>Conversion Priority</u>. In the event that the Company receives a Conversion Notice from the Holder and similar notices from any holders of Options or other Convertible Securities for the same Conversion Date and the Company can effect the conversion and exercise of some, but not all, of such portions of the Note, Options or other Convertible Securities submitted for conversion and exercise, the Company, subject to this Section 3.2(d), shall (i) first effect the conversion of the entire Conversion Amount submitted for conversion on such date by the Holder, and (ii) shall thereafter effect the exercise and conversion from each holder of Options or other Convertible Securities electing to have Options or other Convertible Securities exercised or converted on such date (other than the Note). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company receives a Conversion Notice from the Holder and one or more other Holders of Notes for the same Conversion Date and the Company can effect the conversion of some, but not all, of such portions of the Notes, the Company, subject to this Section 3.2(d), shall process such conversions on a pro rata basis upon each converting Holder's Subscription Amount.

&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>Beneficial Ownership Limitation</u>. The Company shall not effect the conversion of any portion of this Note, and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Note and any such conversion shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the "**Maximum Percentage**") of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, non-converted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-converted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 3.2(e). For purposes of this Section 3.2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the Holder may acquire upon the conversion of this Note without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent, if any, setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the "**Reported Outstanding Share Number**"). If the Company receives a Conversion Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Conversion Notice would otherwise cause the Holder's beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 3.2(e), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such Conversion Notice. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon conversion of this Note results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder's and the other Attribution Parties' aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the "**Excess Shares**") shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Furthermore, the Company shall indemnify the Holder in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, if the Holder suffers any damages, claims or losses as a result of Excess Shares being issued. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the 61<sup>st</sup> day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; <u>provided that</u> (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the 61<sup>st</sup> day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Note in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act. No prior inability to convert this Note pursuant to this Section 3.2(e) shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this Section 3.2(e) with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility. The provisions of this Section 3.2(e) shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3. 2(e) to the extent necessary to correct any provision which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 3.2(e) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this Section 3.2(e) may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.

&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>Intentionally omitted.</u> 

&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) If shares of Common Stock are not delivered within the Standard Settlement Period in accordance with this Note as a result of any action or inaction by the Company's Transfer Agent, then the Holder shall have the right, by giving 30 days' advance written notice, to require the Company to terminate the Transfer Agent and hire a replacement Transfer Agent, and the Company shall use its best efforts to effect such replacement as soon as possible and by the end of such 30-day period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3. <u>Adjustment of Fixed Conversion Price</u>.

&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) Until this Note has been paid in full or converted in full, the Fixed Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time-to-time, and the Floor Price shall be subject to adjustment solely as to Section 3.3(a)(i) through (iv) (but in either case shall not be increased, other than pursuant to a combination) as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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>Adjustments for Stock Splits and Combinations</u>. If the Maker shall at any time or from time-to-time after the Original Issuance Date effect a forward stock split of the outstanding Common Stock or pays a dividend in Common Stock to holders of its Common Stock, the applicable Fixed Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be proportionately decreased. If the Maker shall at any time or from time-to-time after the Original Issuance Date, effect a combination or reverse stock split of the outstanding Common Stock, the applicable Fixed Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustments under this Section 3.3(a)(i) shall be effective at the close of business on the date the applicable event occurs. If at any time or from time-to-time after the Original Issuance Date the Maker effects a forward stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, reverse stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction and the Event Market Price (as defined below) is less than the Fixed Conversion Price then in effect (after giving effect to the adjustment in this Section 3.3(a)(i)), then on the fifth Trading Day immediately following such event, the Fixed Conversion Price then in effect on such fifth Trading Day (after giving effect to the adjustment in this Section 3.3(a)(i) above) shall be reduced (but in no event increased) to the Event Market Price. For the avoidance of doubt, if the adjustment in the immediately preceding sentence would otherwise result in an increase in the Fixed Conversion Price hereunder, no adjustment shall be made. "**Event Market Price**" means, with respect to any event described in this Section 3.3(a)(i), the quotient determined by dividing (x) the sum of the VWAP of the shares of Common Stock for each of the five Trading Days following such event divided by (y) five. All such determinations shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reverse stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction during such period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) <u>Adjustments for Certain Dividends and Distributions</u>. If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date (but whether before or after the Original Issuance Date) make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, then, and in each event, the applicable Fixed Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the applicable Fixed Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) <u>Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions</u>. If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date (but whether before or after the Original Issuance Date) make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in other Common Stock, then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the applicable Fixed Conversion Price shall be made and provision shall be made (by adjustments of the Fixed Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the Holder of this Note shall receive upon conversions thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereon, the number of securities of the Maker or other issuer (as applicable) or other property that it would have received had this Note been converted into Common Stock in full (without regard to any conversion limitations herein) on the date of such event and had thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Conversion Date, retained such securities (together with any distributions payable thereon during such period) or assets, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 3.3(a)(iii) with respect to the rights of the holders of this Note; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Fixed Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 3.3(a)(iii) as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) <u>Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution</u>. If the Common Stock at any time or from time-to-time after the Closing Date (but whether before or after the Original Issuance Date) shall be changed to the same or different number of shares or other securities of any class or classes of stock or other property, whether by reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends provided for in Sections 3.3(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) hereof), then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the Fixed Conversion Price shall be made and provisions shall be made (by adjustments of the Fixed Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert this Note into the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or other property receivable upon reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Note might have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) <u>Rights Upon Issuance of Other Securities</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) <u>Adjustment of Fixed Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock</u>. If and whenever on or after the Original Issuance Date the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 3.3(a)(v) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding any Exempt Issuance, for a consideration per share (the "**Dilutive Issuance Price**") less than a price equal to the Fixed Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale (such Fixed Conversion Price then in effect is referred to herein as the "**Applicable Price**") (the foregoing a "**Dilutive Issuance**"), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Fixed Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to the lower of (i) an amount equal to the Dilutive Issuance Price, or (ii) the VWAP on the Trading Day following the first public disclosure of the Dilutive Issuance. For the purposes of this Section 3.3(a)(v), the next Trading Day if an announcement is made before 4:00 p.m. New York, N.Y. time is either the day of the announcement or the following Trading Day.:

For all purposes of the foregoing (including, without limitation, determining the adjusted Fixed Conversion Price and the Dilutive Issuance Price under this Section 3.3(a)(v)), the following shall be applicable:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) <u>Issuance of Options</u>. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any options or rights to acquire Common Stock or Convertible Securities ("Options") (other than pursuant to any Exempt Issuance) and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share, excluding any transactions involving an Exempt Issuance. For purposes of this Section 3.3(a)(v) the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof" shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof or (y) the lowest exercise price set forth in such Option for which one share of Common Stock is issuable (or may become issuable assuming all possible market conditions) upon the exercise of any such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof, minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Option (or any other Person) with respect to any one share of Common Stock (on a fully-diluted basis) upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Option (or any other Person) with respect to any one share of Common Stock (on a fully-diluted basis). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Fixed Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) <u>Issuance of Convertible Securities</u>. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 3.3(a)(v), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof" shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof and (y) the lowest conversion price set forth in such Convertible Security for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof, minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person) with respect to any one share of Common Stock (on a fully-diluted basis) upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Security plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person) with respect to any one share of Common Stock (on a fully-diluted basis). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Fixed Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof, and if any such issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Fixed Conversion Price has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 3.3(a)(v), except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Fixed Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issuance or sale.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) <u>Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion</u>. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock decreases at any time (other than proportional changes in connection with an event referred to Section 3.3(a)(i) above), the Fixed Conversion Price in effect at the time of such decrease shall be adjusted to the Fixed Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such decreased purchase price, additional consideration or decreased conversion rate (as the case may be) at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 3.3(a)(v), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Original Issuance Date are decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.3(a)(v) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Fixed Conversion Price then in 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) <u>Issuances of Units</u>. If any Option and/or Convertible Security and/or Adjustment Right is issued in connection with the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of any other securities of the Company (as determined by the Holder, the "**Primary Security**", and such Option and/or Convertible Security and/or Adjustment Right, the "**Secondary Securities**"), together comprising one integrated transaction (or one or more transactions if such issuances or sales or deemed issuances or sales of securities of the Company either (A) have at least one investor or purchaser in common, (B) are consummated in reasonable proximity to each other and/or (C) are consummated under the same plan of financing), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is at any time issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof" with respect to such Primary Security shall be deemed to be equal to (1) the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock was issued (or was deemed to be issued pursuant to this Section 3.3(a)(v), as applicable) in such integrated transaction solely with respect to such Primary Security, minus (2) with respect to such Secondary Securities, the sum of (x) the VWAP of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying each such Secondary Security which accompanies one share of Common Stock in respect of the Primary Security on a fully-diluted basis, if any, (y) the fair market value (as mutually determined by the Holder and the Company in good faith), of such Adjustment Right which accompanies one share of Common Stock in respect of the Primary Security on a fully-diluted basis, if any, and (z) the fair market value (as mutually determined by the Holder and the Company) of such Convertible Security, if any, in each case, as determined on a per share basis in accordance with this Section 3.3(a)(v). If any shares of Common Stock, Options (other than exempt issuances) or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security) will be deemed to be the net amount of consideration received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, Options (other than exempt issuances) or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security) will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company for such securities will be the arithmetic average of the VWAPs of such security for each of the five Trading Days immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options (other than Exempt Issuances) or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security) will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities (as the case may be). The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Holder. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within 10 days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the "**Valuation Event**") in this Section 3.3(a)(v)(5), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five Trading Days after the 10th day following such Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holder. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a transaction provided in this Section 3.3(a)(v)(5), the calculation of the consideration per share for the Secondary Securities shall be as provided in Section 3.3(a)(v)(2) and/or (3), as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) <u>Record Date</u>. If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issuance or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase (as the case may be); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that, if the Company shall at any time set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities and (A) such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made, or the subscription rights are not fully granted, on the date fixed therefor, the Fixed Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 3.3(a)(v) as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions or the effectiveness of such subscription rights or (B) the Company shall subsequently rescind or otherwise cancel or determine not to make such dividend or distribution or to grant such subscription rights, then any adjustment to the Fixed Conversion Price made pursuant to this Section 3.3(a)(v) with respect to the fixing of such record date shall be reversed and of no further force or effect as of the date of the Company's public announcement that it is rescinding or otherwise canceling or determining not making such dividend or distribution or the grant of such subscription rights.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Fractional Shares</u>. The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share. If any adjustments to the Fixed Conversion Price under this Section 3.3 result in a fractional amount, the fractional amount shall be rounded down to the nearest whole cent.

&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 Impairment</u>. The Maker shall not, directly or indirectly, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Maker, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 3.3 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the Holder against impairment. In the event the Holder shall elect to convert this Note as provided herein, the Maker cannot refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, violation of an agreement to which the Holder is a party or for any reason whatsoever, unless, an injunction from a court on prior notice, enjoining conversion of this Note shall have issued, and the Maker posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in an amount equal to 150% of the Principal of the Note which the Holder has elected to convert, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Holder (as liquidated damages) in the event it obtains judgment.

&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>Certificates as to Adjustments</u>. Upon occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Fixed Conversion Price or number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 3.3, the Maker at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment and readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Maker shall, upon written request of the Holder, at any time, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holder a like certificate setting forth such adjustments and readjustments, the applicable Fixed Conversion Price in effect at the time, and the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Maker shall not be obligated to deliver a certificate unless such certificate would reflect an increase or decrease of at least one percent of such adjusted amount.

&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>Issuance Taxes</u>. The Maker shall pay any and all issuance and other taxes, excluding federal, state or local income taxes, that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of Common Stock on conversion of this Note pursuant thereto; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Maker shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by the Holder in connection with any such conversion.

&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>Reservation of Common Stock</u>. The Maker shall at all times while this Note shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock equal to the Required Minimum of Common Stock (disregarding for this purpose any and all limitations of any kind on such conversion including the Beneficial Ownership Limitation). The Maker shall, from time-to-time, increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock or take other effective action if at any time the unissued number of authorized shares shall not be sufficient to satisfy the Maker's obligations under this Section 3.3(f).

&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>Regulatory Compliance</u>. If any Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of this Note requires registration or listing with or approval of any Governmental Authority or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, the Maker shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4. <u>Rights Upon Fundamental Transaction</u>

<u>Assumption</u>. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Person (which may be the Company) formed by, resulting from or surviving any Fundamental Transaction or the Person with which such Fundamental Transaction shall have been entered into (the "**Successor Entity**") assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.4(a) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to the Holder in exchange for the Note a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to the Note, including, without limitation, having Principal and interest equal to the Principal then outstanding and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon (if any) of the Note held by the Holder, having similar conversion rights as the Note and having similar ranking and security to the Note, and satisfactory to the Holder and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its parent entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on any eligible market listed in the definition of Trading Market in the Purchase Agreement. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note and the other Transaction Documents referring to the "Company" or the "Maker" shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of a Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion or prepayment of this Note at any time after the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or prepayment of the Note prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of the publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its parent entity) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had this Note been converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder may elect, at its sole option, by delivery of written notice to the Company to waive this Section 3.4(a) to permit the Fundamental Transaction without the assumption of this Note. The provisions of this Section 3.4(a) shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note.

&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>Other Corporate Events</u>. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a "**Corporate Event**"), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of this Note, at the Holder's option, (i) in addition to the Conversion Shares such conversion, such securities or other assets to which the Holder would have been entitled with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares of Common Stock been held by the Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note) or (ii) in lieu of the Conversion Shares, such securities or other assets received by the holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Note initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to shares of Common Stock) at a conversion price for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Price. Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Holder. The provisions of this Section 3.4(b) shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or prepayment of this Note.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Prepayment Following a Change of Control</u>. No later than 15 days following the entry by the Company into an agreement for a Change of Control but in no event prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Maker shall deliver written notice describing the entry into such agreement ("**Notice of Change of Control**") to the Holder. Within 15 days after receipt of a Notice of Change of Control, the Holder may require the Maker to prepay, effective immediately prior to the consummation of <u>such</u> Change of Control, an amount equal to 100% of the sum of (x) the outstanding Principal of this Note and (y) and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon and other sums due (if any) (the "**COC Repayment Price**"), by delivering written notice thereof ("**Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Change of Control**") to the Maker.

&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>Payment of COC Repayment Price</u>. Upon the Maker's receipt of a Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Change of Control from the Holder, the Maker shall deliver the COC Repayment Price to the Holder immediately prior to the consummation of the Change of Control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.5. <u>Inability to Fully Convert</u>.

&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>The Holder's Option if the Maker Cannot Fully Convert</u>. If, upon the Maker's receipt of a Conversion Notice or as otherwise required under this Note, the Maker cannot issue Common Stock for any reason (other than the provisions of Section 3.2(e) or other conversion limitation set forth herein), including, without limitation, because the Maker (x) does not have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available, (y) is precluded from issuing Conversion Shares due to the Maximum Percentage or the failure to obtain Shareholder Approval in accordance with the Rules of the Principal Market, or (z) is otherwise prohibited by applicable Law including the rules or regulations of the Principal Market or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Maker or any of its securities from issuing all of the shares of Common Stock which are to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Note, then the Maker shall issue as many shares of Common Stock as it is able to issue and, with respect to the unconverted portion of this Note or with respect to any Common Stock not timely issued in accordance with this Note, the Holder, solely at Holder's option, can elect to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) require the Maker to prepay that portion of this Note for which the Maker is unable to issue Common Stock or for which Common Stock were not timely issued (the "**Mandatory Prepayment**") at a price equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that the Maker is unable to issue multiplied by the higher of (A) the Fixed Conversion Price and (B) the VWAP as of the date of the Conversion Notice (the "**Mandatory Prepayment Price**");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) void its Conversion Notice and retain or have returned, as the case may be, this Note that was to be converted pursuant to the Conversion Notice (<u>provided that</u> the Holder's voiding its Conversion Notice shall not affect the Maker's obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) defer issuance of the applicable Conversion Shares until such time as the Maker can legally issue such shares; <u>provided that</u> the Principal and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon (if any) underlying such Conversion Shares shall remain outstanding until the delivery of such Conversion Shares; and <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>*,* that if the Holder elects to defer the issuance of the Conversion Shares, it may exercise its rights under clause (i) above at any time prior to the issuance of the Conversion Shares upon one Trading Day's notice to the Maker.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Mechanics of Fulfilling Holder's Election</u>. The Maker shall immediately send to the Holder, upon receipt of a Conversion Notice from the Holder, which cannot be fully satisfied as described in Section 3.5(a) above, a notice of the Maker's inability to fully satisfy the Conversion Notice (the "**Inability to Fully Convert Notice**"). Such Inability to Fully Convert Notice shall indicate (i) the reason why the Maker is unable to fully satisfy the Holder's Conversion Notice; and (ii) the amount of this Note which cannot be converted. The Holder shall notify the Maker of its election pursuant to Section 3.5(a) above by delivering written notice to the Maker ("**Notice in Response to Inability to Convert**").

&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>Payment of Mandatory Prepayment Price</u>. If the Holder shall elect to have this Note prepaid pursuant to Section 3.5(a)(i) above, the Maker shall pay the Mandatory Prepayment Price to the Holder within two Trading Days of the Maker's receipt of the Holder's Notice in Response to Inability to Convert; <u>provided that</u> prior to the Maker's receipt of the Holder's Notice in Response to Inability to Convert the Maker has not delivered a notice to the Holder stating, to the satisfaction of the Holder, that the event or condition resulting in the Mandatory Prepayment has been cured and all Conversion Shares issuable to the Holder can and will be delivered to the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Note. If the Maker shall fail to pay the applicable Mandatory Prepayment Price to the Holder on the date that is two Trading Days following the Maker's receipt of the Holder's Notice in Response to Inability to Convert, in addition to any remedy the Holder may have under this Note and the Purchase Agreement, such unpaid amount shall bear interest at the rate of 2% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Until the full Mandatory Prepayment Price is paid in full to the Holder, the Holder may (i) void the Mandatory Prepayment with respect to that portion of the Note for which the full Mandatory Prepayment Price has not been paid and (ii) receive back such Note<u>.</u>

**ARTICLE 4.**

**OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES**

4.1. <u>Transfer Restrictions</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Notes may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities Laws. In connection with any transfer of the Notes other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of the Investor or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(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, 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 Notes 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 the Registration Rights Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of the Investor under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Investor agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Notes in the following form:

[NEITHER] THIS SECURITY [NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS [EXERCISABLE] [CONVERTIBLE]] HAS [NOT] BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON [EXERCISE] [CONVERSION] OF THIS SECURITY] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN "ACCREDITED INVESTOR" AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares or the transfer records if in book entry shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (i) while a Resale Registration Statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Conversion Shares pursuant to Rule 144, when available, or (iii) 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). For the avoidance of doubt the Company shall pay all costs associated with such opinions. If all or any portion of a Note is converted at a time when there is an effective Resale Registration Statement to cover the resale of the Conversion Shares, or if such Conversion Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirements of Rule 144(c) and without volume or manner of sale restrictions or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including Sections 4(a)(1) or 4(a)(7), judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC including what is known as Section 4(a)(1½)) then such Conversion Shares shall be issued free of all legends. For avoidance of doubt, the Company agrees that after the requisite holding period to comply with Rule 144, the legend may be removed under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, assuming the holder satisfies the requirements of Rule 144. The Company agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) following the delivery by the Investor to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate (or stock power if issued in book entry form) representing Shares, issued without a restrictive legend (such date, the "**Legend Removal Date**"), deliver or cause to be delivered to the Investor a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends (or provide evidence of issuance in book entry form). 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. Certificates for Conversion Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Investor by crediting the account of the Investor's prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by the Investor. As used herein, "**Standard Settlement Period**" means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days or hours, on the Company's Principal Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of a certificate representing Shares, issued with a restrictive legend. Certificates for the Conversion Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent to the Investor by crediting the account of the Investor's prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by the Investor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Company acknowledges and agrees that any Investor may from time-to-time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Conversion Shares to a financial institution that is an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, the Investor may transfer pledged or secured Conversion Shares 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 Investor's expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of the Conversion Shares may reasonably request, including, if the Conversion Shares have been registered for resale pursuant to a Resale Registration Statement, the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of selling shareholders thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) In addition to each Investor's other available remedies, the Company shall pay to the Investor, in cash, (i) as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Conversion Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date a notice of conversion included in the Notes (the "**Notice of Conversion**") are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.1(c), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such shares are delivered without a legend to the Investor and (ii) if the Company fails to (a) issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Investor by the Legend Removal Date a certificate representing the Conversion Shares based on the Notice of Conversion so delivered to the Company by the Investor that is free from all restrictive and other legends and (b) if after the Legend Removal Date the Investor purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Investor of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock that the Investor anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend, then, an amount equal to the excess of the Investor's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions or mark-ups and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including brokerage commissions or mark-ups and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) (the "**Buy-In Price**") over the product of (A) such number of Conversion Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Investor by the Legend Removal Date multiplied by (B) the lowest closing sale price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery by the Investor to the Company of the applicable Notice of Conversion (as the case may be) and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this clause (ii) above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Investor agrees with the Company that the Investor will sell any Notes pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Conversion Shares are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, including any Resale Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Notes as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company's reliance upon this understanding. The Company acknowledges that if the Investors cashlessly exercises any Notes, Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act shall apply and the holding period of the Conversion Shares issued as a result shall be the Closing Date on which the Notes were issued. The Company covenants and agrees that it shall not challenge or take a position contrary to the preceding sentence, except to the extent required by applicable Law.

4.2. <u>Acknowledgment of Dilution</u>. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Notes may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Conversion Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against the Investor and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other shareholders of the Company.

4.8. <u>Non-Public Information</u>. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, which shall be disclosed pursuant to Section 4.6, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide each Investor or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes, or the Company reasonably believes constitutes, material non-public information, unless prior thereto the Investor shall have consented to the receipt of such information and agreed with the Company to keep such information confidential. The Company understands and confirms that each Investor shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

The Company understands and confirms that the Investor shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

4.9. <u>Use of Proceeds</u>. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes hereunder for working capital and general corporate purposes and shall not use such proceeds for any other purpose, including the repayment of Indebtedness.

Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Company will indemnify and hold each Investor and its respective directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls the Investor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a "**Investor Party**") harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of investigation that any such Investor Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted by the Company or its affiliates or representatives or agents against the Investor Parties in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is solely based upon a material breach of such Investor Party's representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Investor Party may have with any such shareholder or any violations by such Investor Party of state or federal securities Laws or any conduct by such Investor Party which is finally judicially determined to constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct). If any action shall be brought against any Investor Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Investor Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Investor Party. Any Investor Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Investor Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Investor Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any Investor Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by the Investor Party effected without the Company's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent, that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Investor Party's breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Investor Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification required by this Section 4.10 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 indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Investor Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to Law.

4.11. <u>Reservation and Listing of Common Stock</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Company shall maintain a reserve of the Required Minimum from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may then be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If, on any date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) shares of Common Stock is less than the Required Minimum on such date, then the Board of Directors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Company's certificate or articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to at least the Required Minimum at such time, as soon as possible and in any event not later than the 60<sup>th</sup> day after such date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company shall maintain the listing or quotation of such Common Stock on any date at least equal to the Required Minimum on such date on the Principal Market.

4.12. <u>Participation in Future Financing</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) From the date hereof until the 18-month anniversary of the date of this Agreement, upon any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents for cash consideration, Indebtedness or a combination of units thereof (a "**Subsequent Financing**"), the Investors shall have the right to participate in aggregate up to an amount of the Subsequent Financing equal to 25% of the Subsequent Financing (the "**Participation Maximum**") on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) At least five Trading Days prior to the closing of the Subsequent Financing, the Company shall deliver to each Investor a written notice of its intention to effect a Subsequent Financing ("**Pre-Notice**"), which Pre-Notice shall ask the Investor if it wants to review the details of such financing (such additional notice, a "**Subsequent Financing Notice**"). Upon the request of an Investor, and only upon a request by an Investor, for a Subsequent Financing Notice, the Company shall promptly, but no later than one Trading Day after such request, deliver a Subsequent Financing Notice to such Investor. The Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder and the Person or Persons through or with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected and shall include a term sheet or similar document relating thereto as an attachment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Each Investor desiring to participate in such Subsequent Financing must provide written notice to the Company by not later than 5:30 p.m. (New York, N.Y. time) on the second Trading Day after all of the Investor have received the Pre-Notice that the Investor is willing to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of the Investor's participation, and representing and warranting that such Investor has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice. If the Company receives no such notice from any Investor as of such fifth Trading Day, the Investors shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it does not elect to participate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) If by 5:30 p.m. (New York, N.Y. time) on the fifth Trading Day after each Investor has received the Pre-Notice, notification by an Investor of its willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing (or to cause its designees to participate) has been not provided, then the Company may effect the remaining portion of such Subsequent Financing on the terms and with the Persons set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) If by 5:30 p.m. (New York, N.Y. time) on the second Trading Day after the Investor has received the Pre-Notice, the Company receives responses to a Subsequent Financing Notice from the Investor seeking to purchase more than the aggregate amount of the Participation Maximum, each such Investor shall have the right to purchase up to its Pro Rata Portion of the Participation Maximum. "**Pro Rata Portion**" means the ratio of (x) the Subscription Amount of Notes purchased on the Closing Date by an Investor participating under this Section 4.12 and (y) the sum of the aggregate Subscription Amounts of Notes purchased on the Closing Date by all Investors participating under this Section 4.12.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Company must provide each Investor with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and each Investor will again have the right of participation set forth above in this Section 4.12, if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice is not consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within 30 Trading Days after the date of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The Company and each Investor agree that if any Investor elects to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the transaction documents related to the Subsequent Financing shall not include any term or provision that, directly or indirectly, will, or is intended to, exclude one or more of the Investors from participating in a Subsequent Financing, including, but not limited to, provisions whereby any Investor shall be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any securities of the Company or be required to consent to any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver, release or the like under or in connection with, this Agreement, without the prior written consent of each such Investor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.12 and unless otherwise agreed to by each Investor, the Company shall either confirm in writing to each Investor that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the securities in the Subsequent Financing, in either case in such a manner such that each Investor will not be in possession of any material, non-public information, by the fifth Trading Day following delivery of the Subsequent Financing Notice. If by such fifth Trading Day, no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by the Investor, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and the Investor shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

4.13. <u>Subsequent Equity Sales</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) From the date hereof until 30 days after the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement(s) covering all of the Conversion Shares underlying the Securities issued in the Closing, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall (i) issue, enter into any agreement to issue or sell shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, including the granting of options or other rights to purchase Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents to any Person other than directors and employees, except for an Exempt Issuance, including but not limited to any equity compensation plan, incentive plan or similar plan, or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, or (ii) file any registration statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, in each case other than as contemplated pursuant to the Transaction Documents or to permit the Company to comply with existing registration requirements in effect as of the Closing Date.

From the date hereof until such time as no Investor holds any Notes, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction. "**Variable Rate Transaction**" means any transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive, additional shares of Common Stock where the future issuance of Common Stock at a price may vary including but not limited to (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon, and/or varies with, the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock or (ii) enters into, or effects a transaction under, any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit or an at-the-market offering, whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price. Each Investor shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) While any Note is outstanding, if the Company issues any equity option, warrant or similar instrument which contains an "alternative cashless exercise" provision that provides for the exercise of such security without payment of the exercise price in cash and does not require the security to be "in the money," each Investor shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages. For avoidance of doubt, the issuance of a warrant or other right that permits a holder to exchange such warrant or right for shares of Common Stock or other securities shall be deemed to involve an "alternative cashless exercise."

4.14. <u>Most Favored Nation Provision</u>. Confirm Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if at any time from and after the Closing Date until the Notes are no longer outstanding, the Company proposes to offer and sell securities in a Subsequent Financing, each Investor may elect, in its sole discretion, to exchange all or a portion of the Notes then held by such Investor for securities of the same type issued in such Subsequent Financing (such exchange to be made at the same time as the closing of such Subsequent Financing), on the same terms and conditions as the Subsequent Financing, based on 110% the Principal Amount of the Note then outstanding, and accrued and unpaid interest and late charges on the principal and interest of the Note then outstanding.

4.15. <u>Intentionally Omitted</u>.

4.16. <u>Form D; Blue Sky Filings</u>. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Notes as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of the Lead Investor. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Notes for, sale to the Investor at the Closing under applicable securities or "blue sky" Laws of the states of the United States and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of the Lead Investor.

4.17. <u>Subsequent Registrations</u>. If as result of an SEC Staff policy, rule or regulation or for any other reason, the Company is unable to register all of the Investors' Registrable Conversion Shares (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), then upon the earlier of (i) 30 days (or such earlier time as is permitted by the Staff of the SEC or any rule of the SEC) after any Resale Registration Statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement is declared effective by the SEC, or (ii) when the registered but not issued Conversion Shares fall below 50% of the amount covered by the effective Resale Registration Statement(s), the Company shall file another Resale Registration Statement including all of the remaining Registrable Securities of the Investor and comply with the terms and conditions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

4.18. <u>Maintenance of DTC Eligibility</u>. The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.

4.19. <u>Compliance With Negative Covenants</u>. The Company agrees that it shall not take any action to or cause any of its Subsidiaries to breach the negative covenants contained in the Notes, the Security Agreement and any other Transaction Documents.

4.20. <u>Exchange</u>. The Company shall enter into an Exchange Agreement with Investors, in form and substance mutually acceptable to the Company and the Investors, who purchase Notes with a Principal Amount of at least $250,000 whereby such Investors will be able to rollover the value of any outstanding convertible notes or preferred stock for Notes. Those securities will be cancelled or retired to satisfy the purchase price of any Notes purchased pursuant hereto.

Any amendment effected in accordance with this Section 5.5 shall be binding upon the Investors and the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Governing Law</u>. The Transaction Documents and all disputes, claims, defenses, liabilities, obligations, rights, and remedies, whether based on contract, statute, tort, or otherwise, and all other matters arising out of, in connection with, or relating in any way to (i) the Transaction Documents or any of them, (ii) the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or any of them, or (iii) any matters in connection therewith, shall be governed, controlled, and determined by and enforced in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to conflicts of law principles or considerations.

For the purposes of this provision, the Transaction Documents shall be deemed to have been entered into in the State of Nevada.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Exclusive Jurisdiction</u>: Any Action arising in whole or in part out of, in connection with, or relating in any way to (i) the Transaction Documents or any of them, (ii) the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or any of them, or (iii) any matters in connection therewith, or any Action in which the dispute, or any claims or defenses asserted, or which could by asserted in such Action, are within the scope of the governing law provision above (the "**Exclusive Action**"). The Exclusive Action shall be commenced exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Miami, Florida. Each party hereby irrevocably submits and consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Miami, Florida for the adjudication of the Exclusive Action, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Exclusive Action brought or maintained in the courts located in Miami, Florida (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court, (ii) that such Action was brought in an improper or inconvenient venue, or (iii) that the Action should be dismissed or transferred to another court or venue.

5.9. <u>Survival</u>. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Notes.

5.10. <u>Execution</u>. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by e-mail delivery of a ".pdf" or other electronic format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

5.11. <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.

5.12. <u>Rescission and Withdrawal Right</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever an Investor 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 the Investor 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.

5.13. <u>Replacement of Notes</u>. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Notes 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 an affidavit or similar evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall not be required to pay any reasonable third-party costs (including indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Notes.

5.14. <u>Remedies</u>. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by Law, including recovery of damages, each Investor 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.

5.15. <u>Payment Set Aside</u>. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Investor pursuant to any Transaction Document or the Investor enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any Law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy Law, state or federal Law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

5.16. <u>Usury</u>. 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 Action that may be brought by an Investor in order to enforce any right or remedy under any Transaction Document. In furtherance of this agreement and covenant, the Company shall not take any position that any Laws of any state of the United States relating to usury are applicable. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed and <u>provided that</u> 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 the Company 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 the Company to an Investor with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be applied by the Investor to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at the Investor's election. The Company acknowledges that of this date of this Agreement, Nevada has no Law relating to usury.

5.17. <u>Collateral Agent Appointment</u>. The Investors hereby appoint the Lead Investor as the Collateral Agent pursuant to and in accordance with the Security Agreement.

5.18. <u>Liquidated Damages</u>. 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.

5.19. <u>Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc</u>. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken, or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

5.20. <u>Construction</u>. 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 the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. 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.

5.21. **<u>WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL</u>. In any action, suit, or proceeding in any jurisdiction brought by any party against any other party, the parties each knowingly and intentionally, to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law, hereby absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably and expressly waives forever trial by jury**.

**<u>PLEDGE AGREEMENT</u>**

THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT made as of ________________ (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this "**Agreement**"), by and between Mitesco, Inc, a Nevada corporation (the "**Pledgor**") and C/M Capital Master Fund, LP, a Delaware corporation, in its capacity as agent ("**Collateral Agent**") for itself as an Investor and the Investors identified below (together with their respective successors and assigns).

WHEREAS, the Pledgor has executed and delivered to the Investors identified in that certain Purchase Agreement (as defined below) (and together with their successors and assigns and each other purchaser of a Note (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and their respective successors and assigns, collectively the "**Investors**") that the Note made by the Company in an original aggregate principal amount of up to $1,000,000, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement may execute and deliver the Note, as defined and provided for under the Purchase Agreement dated as the date hereof (the "**Note**"), by and between the Pledgor and the Investors (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the "**Purchase Agreement**");

WHEREAS, the Pledgor legally and beneficially owns the interests specified on <u>Exhibit A</u> hereto and, for each other corporation or other entity, the capital stock or other equity interests and securities (any, "**Securities**") of which are owned or acquired by the Pledgor and described on an addendum hereto from time-to-time executed by the Pledgor in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (each such entity is referred to herein as a "**Pledge Entity**" and collectively as the "**Pledge Entities**," which shall include all subsidiaries of the Pledgor during the time this Agreement remains in effect); <u>provided that</u> the parties hereto agree that, as of the date hereof, the Pledge Entities specified on <u>Exhibit A</u> are the only Pledge Entities. The failure to execute an addendum shall not relieve the Pledgor of its obligation to pledge any after acquired Securities;

WHEREAS, pursuant to a Security Agreement dated as of the date hereof by and among the Collateral Agent, the Pledgor and the other entities party thereto as "**Debtors**" (as the same may be amended, restated, modified or supplement and in effect from time to time, the "**Security Agreement**"), the Pledgor and each other Debtor has granted the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of itself and the other Investors, a security interest in, lien upon and pledge of all of such Pledgor's or other Debtor's rights in such Pledgor's or other Debtor's Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement); and

WHEREAS, to induce the Investor to enter into the Purchase Agreement, to purchase the Note and any Additional Notes and to make the financial accommodations available to the Pledgor under the Purchase Agreement, and in order to secure the payment and performance by the Pledgor of the Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement), the Pledgor has agreed to pledge to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of itself and the other Investors, the Securities (the "**Pledged Equity**") of the Pledge Entities now or hereafter owned or acquired by such Pledgor to secure the Obligations.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the Investors to purchase the Notes under the Purchase Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Pledgor hereby agrees with the Collateral Agent as follows:

<u>Defined Terms</u>.

Unless otherwise defined or referenced herein, all capitalized words and phrases used herein shall have the meanings given them in the Purchase Agreement. In addition, as used herein:

"**Obligations**" shall mean all obligations arising under the Notes including but not limited to the principal, accrued interest, and other sums due under the Notes.

<u>Pledge</u>.

The Pledgor hereby pledges, assigns, hypothecates, transfers, delivers and grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of itself and the other Investors, a first lien on and first priority perfected security interest in (i) all of the Pledged Equity of the Pledge Entities now owned or hereafter acquired by such Pledgor (collectively, the "**Pledged Interests**"), (ii) any other shares of Pledged Equity hereafter pledged or referred to be pledged to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement; (iii) all "investment property" as such term is defined in §9-102(a)(49) of the UCC (as defined below) with respect thereto; (iv) any "security entitlement" as such term is defined in § 8-102(a)(17) of the UCC with respect thereto; (v) all books and records relating to the foregoing; and (vi) all Accessions and Proceeds (as each is defined in the UCC) of the foregoing, including, without limitation, all distributions (cash, stock, or otherwise), dividends, stock dividends, securities, cash, instruments, rights to subscribe, purchase, or sell, and other property, rights, and interest that such Pledgor is at any time entitled to receive or is otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any or all of the Pledged Collateral (as defined below), and without affecting the obligations of the Pledgor under any provision of the Security Agreement, in the event of any consolidation or merger in which the Pledgor is not the surviving corporation, all shares of each class or Pledged Equity of the successor entity formed by or resulting from such consolidation or merger (the collateral described in clauses (i) through (vi) of this Section 2 being collectively referred to as the "**Pledged Collateral**"), as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations. All of the Pledged Interests owned by the Pledgor, which are presently represented by certificates, are listed on <u>Exhibit A</u> hereto, which certificates, with undated assignments separate from the certificates or stock/membership interest powers duly executed in blank by such Pledgor and to the extent such certificates are available and not covered by an existing lien or pledge, or irrevocable proxies, are being delivered to the Collateral Agent simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement. Upon the creation or acquisition of any new Pledged Interests, to the extent such certificates are available and not covered by an existing lien or pledge, the Pledgor shall execute an Addendum in the form of <u>Exhibit B</u> attached hereto (a "**Pledge Addendum**") and deliver the original certificates for the Pledge Equity to the Collateral Agent. Any Pledged Collateral described in a Pledge Addendum executed by the Pledgor shall thereafter be deemed to be listed on <u>Exhibit A</u> hereto. Upon delivery to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall maintain possession and custody of the certificates representing the Pledged Interests and any additional Pledged Collateral.

Each Pledged Interest consisting of either (i) a membership interest in a Person that is a limited liability company or (ii) a partnership interest in a Person that is a partnership (if any) (1) is not and will not be evidenced by a certificate and (2) is not and will not be deemed a "security" governed by Article 8 of the UCC.

<u>Representations and Warranties of Pledgor</u>. The Pledgor represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent, and covenants with the Collateral Agent, that:

Except as set forth on <u>Exhibit A</u>, there are no outstanding options, warrants or other similar agreements with respect to the Pledged Interests or any of the other Pledged Collateral;

This Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Pledgor, enforceable against the Pledgor in accordance with its terms except to the extent that such enforceability is subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance and moratorium laws and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally, or the availability of equitable remedies, which are subject to the discretion of the court before which an action may be brought;

The Pledged Interests have been duly and validly authorized and issued, are fully paid and non-assessable, and the Pledged Interests listed on <u>Exhibit A</u>, as of the date hereof, and as of the date of any Pledge Addendum, constitute all of the issued and outstanding capital stock, shares or other equity interests of the Pledge Entities;

No consent, approval or authorization of or designation or filing with any Governmental Authority on the part of the Pledgor is required in connection with the pledge and security interest granted under this Agreement (other than financing statements to be filed pursuant to Section 26 below) which consent, approval, authorization, designation or filing has not been made as of the date hereof;

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will not violate (i) any provision of any applicable law or regulation or of any order, judgment, writ, award or decree of any Governmental Authority, which are applicable to the Pledgor, (ii) the articles or certificate of incorporation, certificate of formation, bylaws or any other similar organizational documents of the Pledgor or any Pledge Entity or (iii) any securities issued by the Pledgor or any Pledge Entity of any mortgage, indenture, lease, contract, or other agreement, instrument or undertaking to which the Pledgor or any Pledge Entity is a party or which is binding upon the Pledgor or any Pledge Entity or upon any of the assets of the Pledgor or any Pledge Entity, and will not result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance on or security interest in any of the assets of the Pledgor or any Pledge Entity, except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement;

The pledge, assignment and delivery of the Pledged Interests and the other Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Agreement creates a valid first lien on and perfected first priority security interest in such Pledged Interests and Pledged Collateral and the proceeds thereof in favor of the Collateral Agent. Until this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11 hereof, the Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will defend, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and each other Investor, the Collateral Agent's right, title and security interest in and to the Pledged Interests, the other Pledged Collateral and the proceeds thereof against the claims and demands of all other Persons; and

Neither the Pledgor nor any Pledge Entity (i) will become a Person whose property or interests in property are blocked or subject to blocking pursuant to Section 1 of Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001 Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit or Support Terrorism (66 Fed. Reg. 49079(2001), (ii) will engage in any dealings or transactions prohibited by Section 2 of such executive order, or (iii) will otherwise become a Person on the list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons or subject to the limitations or prohibitions under any other Office of Foreign Asset Control regulation or executive order.

<u>Dividends, Distributions, Etc.</u> If, prior to irrevocable repayment in full of the Obligations (other than Obligations which expressly survive termination of this Agreement by their terms which shall include without limitation any contingent indemnification Obligations), the Pledgor shall receive any certificate (including, without limitation, any certificate representing a dividend or a distribution in connection with any reclassification, increase or reduction of capital, or issued in connection with any reorganization, merger or consolidation), or any options or rights, whether as an addition to, in substitution for, or in exchange for any of the Pledged Interests or otherwise, such Pledgor agrees, in each case, to accept the same as the Collateral Agent's agent and to hold the same in trust for the Collateral Agent, and to deliver the same promptly to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received, with the endorsement of such Pledgor when necessary and/or with appropriate undated assignments separate from certificates or stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by the Collateral Agent subject to the terms hereof, as additional Pledged Collateral. The Pledgor shall promptly deliver to the Collateral Agent (i) a Pledge Addendum with respect to such additional certificates, and (ii) any financing statements or amendments to financing statements as requested by the Collateral Agent. The Pledgor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to attach each such Pledge Addendum to this Agreement. Except as provided in Section 5(b) below, all sums of money and property so paid or distributed in respect of the Pledged Interests which are received by the Pledgor shall, until paid or delivered to the Collateral Agent, be held by the Pledgor in trust as additional Pledged Collateral.

<u>Voting Rights; Dividends; Certificates</u>.

So long as no Event of Default (as defined in the Notes) has occurred and is continuing, the Pledgor shall be entitled (subject to the other provisions hereof, including, without limitation, Section 8 below) to exercise its voting and other consensual rights with respect to the Pledged Interests and otherwise exercise the incidents of ownership thereof in any manner not inconsistent with this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and/or any of the other Transaction Documents. The Pledgor hereby grants to the Pledgee or its nominee, an irrevocable proxy to exercise all voting, corporate and limited liability company rights relating to the Pledged Interests in any instance, which proxy shall be effective, at the reasonable discretion of the Collateral Agent, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Upon the request of the Collateral Agent at any time, the Pledgor agrees to deliver to the Collateral Agent such further evidence of such irrevocable proxy or such further irrevocable proxies to vote the Pledged Interests as the Collateral Agent may request.

So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Pledgor shall be entitled to receive cash dividends or other distributions made in respect of the Pledged Interests, to the extent permitted to be made pursuant to the terms of the Notes and the Purchase Agreement. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in the event that the Pledgor, as record and beneficial owner of the Pledged Interests, shall have received or shall have become entitled to receive, any cash dividends or other distributions in the ordinary course, such Pledgor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to receive and retain, for the benefit of itself and the other Investors, all such cash or other distributions as additional security for the Obligations.

Subject to any sale or other disposition by the Collateral Agent of the Pledged Interests, any other Pledged Collateral or other property pursuant to this Agreement, upon the indefeasible full payment, satisfaction and termination of all of the Obligations (other than Obligations which expressly survive termination of this Agreement by their terms which shall include without limitation any contingent indemnification Obligations) and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11 hereof and of the liens and security interests hereby granted, the Pledged Interests, the other Pledged Collateral and any other property then held as part of the Pledged Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be promptly returned to the Pledgor or to such other Persons as shall be legally entitled thereto.

The Pledgor shall cause all Pledged Interests (other than the Pledged Interests consisting of limited liability company and partnership interests) to be certificated at all times while this Agreement is in effect.

<u>Rights of Collateral Agent</u>. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for failure to collect or realize upon the Obligations or any collateral security or guaranty therefor, or any part thereof, or for any delay in so doing, nor shall the Collateral Agent be under any obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto. Any or all of the Pledged Interests held by the Collateral Agent hereunder may, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, without notice, be registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee, and the Collateral Agent or its nominee may thereafter without notice exercise all voting and corporate rights at any meeting with respect to any Pledge Entity and exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any of the Pledged Interests as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including, without limitation, the right to vote in favor of, and to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Interests upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment with respect to any Pledge Entity or upon the exercise by any Pledge Entity, the Pledgor or the Collateral Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any of the Pledged Interests, and in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Interests with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may reasonably determine, all without liability except to account for property actually received by the Collateral Agent, but the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to exercise any of the aforesaid rights, privileges or options and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

<u>Remedies</u>. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Pledged Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code) of the jurisdiction applicable to the affected Pledged Collateral from time-to-time ("**UCC**"). Without limiting the foregoing, the Collateral Agent may, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon the Pledgor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and/or notices are hereby expressly waived), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith date and otherwise fill in the blanks on any assignments separate from certificates or stock powers or otherwise sell, assign, give an option or options to purchase, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, in one or more portions at one or more public or private sales or dispositions, at any exchange or broker's board or at any of the Collateral Agent's offices or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for any combination of cash and/or securities or other property or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, with the right to the Collateral Agent upon any such sale, public or private, to purchase the whole or any part of said Pledged Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Pledgor, which right or equity is hereby expressly waived or released. The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization, sale or disposition, after deducting all costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental thereto pursuant to Section 5.11(c) of the Security Agreement. The Pledgor shall remain liable for any deficiency remaining unpaid after such application. Only after so paying over such net proceeds and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-608 of the UCC (Application of Proceeds of Collection or Enforcement; Liability for Deficiency and Right to Surplus), need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the Pledgor. The Pledgor agrees that the Collateral Agent need not give more than 10 days' notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale or other intended disposition is to take place and that such notice is reasonable notification of such matters. No notification need be given to the Pledgor if after default it has signed a statement renouncing or modifying any right to notification of sale or other intended disposition. Notwithstanding any provision in any shareholder's agreement or any applicable laws to the contrary, the Pledgor acknowledge and agrees that the Pledgor may pledge to the Collateral Agent all of the Pledgor's right, title and interest in all of the Pledge Entities, and upon foreclosure the successful bidder (which may include the Collateral Agent) will be deemed admitted as a member and/or shareholder, as applicable, of each Pledge Entity, and will automatically succeed to all of the Pledgor's right, title and interest, including without limitation, the Pledgor's limited liability company and equity interests, right to vote and participate in the management and business affairs of the Pledge Entities, right to a share of the profits and losses of the Pledge Entities and right to receive distributions from the Pledge Entities.

<u>No Disposition, Etc.</u> Until the irrevocable payment in full, satisfaction or expiration of the Obligations (other than Obligations which expressly survive termination of this Agreement by their terms which shall include without limitation any contingent indemnification Obligations), the Pledgor agrees that it will not sell, assign, transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Pledged Interests or any other Pledged Collateral, nor will the Pledgor create, incur or permit to exist any lien or other encumbrance with respect to any of the Pledged Interests or any other Pledged Collateral, or any interest therein, or any proceeds thereof, except for the lien and security interest of the Collateral Agent provided for by this Agreement and the Security Agreement.

<u>Sale of Pledged Interests</u>.

The Pledgor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale or disposition (including, without limitation, any disposition in connection with a merger of a Pledge Entity) of any or all the Pledged Interests by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws, but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales or dispositions thereof to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale or disposition may result in prices and other terms (including the terms of any securities or other property received in connection therewith) less favorable to the seller than if such sale or disposition were a public sale or disposition and the Pledgor agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to engage in any such private sales or dispositions under such circumstances. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale or disposition of any of the Pledged Interests in order to permit the Pledgor or a Pledge Entity to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Pledgor or a Pledge Entity would agree to do so.

The Pledgor further agrees to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary to make such sales or dispositions of the Pledged Interests valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all Governmental Authorities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sales or dispositions, all at such Pledgor's expense; <u>provided</u> that the Pledgor shall not have any obligation to register the Pledged Interests as securities under the Securities Act or the applicable state securities laws solely by virtue of this Section 9(b). The Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections 4, 5(a), 5(b), 8, 9 and 24 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and that the Collateral Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees, without limiting the right of the Collateral Agent to seek and obtain injunctive relief and/or specific performance of other obligations of the Pledgor contained in this Agreement, that each and every covenant referenced above shall be specifically enforceable against the Pledgor, and the Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to post a bond or other security as a condition of obtaining equitable relief.

The Pledgor further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and each other Investor, their respective successors and assigns and all of their collective officers, directors, shareholders, members, managers, partners, employees, attorneys and agents, and any Person in control of any thereof (collectively, the "**Indemnitees**"), from and against any loss, liability, claim, damage and expense, including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses (in this paragraph collectively called the "**Indemnified Liabilities**"), under federal and state securities laws or otherwise insofar as such Indemnified Liability (i) arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or offering memorandum or in any preliminary prospectus or preliminary offering memorandum or in any amendment or supplement to any thereof or in any other writing prepared by the Pledgor in connection with the offer, sale or resale of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral unless such untrue statement of material fact was provided by the Collateral Agent, in writing, specifically for inclusion therein, or (ii) arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, such indemnification to remain operative regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any successor thereof, or any Person in control of any thereof. In connection with a public sale or other distribution, the Pledgor will provide customary indemnification to any underwriters, their successors and assigns, officers and directors and each Person who controls any such underwriter (within the meaning of the Securities Act). If and to the extent that the foregoing undertakings in this paragraph may be unenforceable for any reason, the Pledgor agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. The obligations of the Pledgor under this Section 9(c) shall survive any termination of this Agreement to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

The Pledgor further agrees not to exercise any and all rights of subrogation it may have against a Pledge Entity upon the sale or disposition of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 11 below.

The Pledgor and each Pledge Entity further covenants and agrees not to, and to cause each of its Subsidiaries not to: (i) engage in a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Note(s)) with respect to any such entity unless the gross proceeds therefrom are paid to the Secured Parties to prepay the Note(s), provided that for avoidance of doubt if there are no gross proceeds to the Company, neither the Company nor the Pledge Entity nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall enter into any agreement or arrangement with respect to a Fundamental Transaction; or (ii) sell, transfer, dispose of or encumber any assets other than pursuant to the sale of product inventory or the grant of licenses for services and related software in the ordinary course of business, or sell, transfer, encumber, or issue capital stock in any Subsidiary; or (iii) enter into an agreement or arrangement which contemplates or would result in the occurrence of any of the foregoing.

<u>No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies</u>. The Collateral Agent shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its remedies hereunder, and no waiver by the Collateral Agent shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent, and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by the Collateral Agent of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Collateral Agent would otherwise have on any further occasion. No course of dealing between the Pledgor and the Collateral Agent or any other Investor, and no failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Investor of, any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents shall impair such right or remedy or operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law or in the Purchase Agreement.

<u>Termination</u>. This Agreement and the liens and security interests granted hereunder shall automatically terminate without further action by the Pledgor and the Collateral Agent, at the Pledgor's sole reasonable cost and reasonable expense, shall immediately return any Pledged Interests or other Pledged Collateral then held by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement to the Pledgor upon the full and complete performance and indefeasible satisfaction of all of the Obligations (other than Obligations which expressly survive by their terms which shall include without limitation any contingent indemnification Obligations).

<u>Possession of Collateral</u>. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe custody of the Pledged Interests in the physical possession of the Collateral Agent pursuant hereto, neither the Collateral Agent, nor any nominee of the Collateral Agent, shall have any duty or liability to collect any sums due in respect thereof or to protect, preserve or exercise any rights pertaining thereto (including any duty to ascertain or take action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to the Pledged Collateral and any duty to take any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to the Pledged Collateral), and shall be relieved of all responsibility for the Pledged Collateral upon surrendering them to the Pledgor. The Pledgor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of a Pledge Entity and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of non-payment of the Obligations, and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to advise the Pledgor of information known to the Collateral Agent regarding such condition or any such circumstance. The Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire into the powers of a Pledge Entity or its officers, directors, managers, members, partners or agents thereof acting or purporting to act on its behalf.

<u>Taxes and Expenses</u>. The Pledgor will pay to the Collateral Agent within the Applicable Time Frame (as hereafter defined) (a) any stamp, excise, sales or other taxes (excluding income taxes, franchise taxes or other taxes levied on gross earnings, profits, income or the like of the Collateral Agent) payable or ruled payable by any Governmental Authority with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, together with interest and penalties, if any, and (b) all expenses, including the fees and expenses of counsel for the Collateral Agent and of any experts or agents that the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (i) the administration, modification or amendment of this Agreement, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Pledged Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, or (iv) the failure of the Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. For purposes hereof, the term "Applicable Time Frame" means the earlier of (a) 10 days after the Collateral Agent's written demand for such payment and (b) the date set forth in the Collateral Agent's written demand for such payment if such payment is required to be made by the Collateral Agent prior to the 10 day period referred to in the foregoing clause "(a)."

<u>The Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-In-Fact</u>. The Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent as such Pledgor's attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor or otherwise, from time to time in the Collateral Agent's discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Collateral Agent deems necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, to receive, endorse and collect all instruments made payable to such Pledgor representing any dividend, interest payment or other distribution in respect of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same, when and to the extent permitted by this Agreement; provided that the power of attorney granted hereunder shall only be exercised by the Collateral Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

<u>Governing Law; Exclusive Jurisdiction; No Jury Trial</u>. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Pledge Agreement shall be governed by the Security Agreement. Any action, proceeding or claim arising out of, or relating in any way to, this Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts as provided in the Security Agreement. **Each party hereby irrevocable waives any right it may have, and agrees not to request, a jury trial for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or arising out of this agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby**.

<u>Counterparts</u>. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party; provided that a facsimile, .pdf or similar electronically transmitted signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original signature.

<u>Headings</u>. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Definitions</u>.

&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) Capitalized words and phrases used herein without definition and defined in the Purchase Agreement are used herein as defined therein or, if not defined in the Purchase Agreement, as defined in the Security Agreement or the Notes, as applicable. In addition, as used herein:

"**Bankruptcy Code**" shall mean the U.S. Federal Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 (11 U.S.C. §101, <u>et seq</u>.), as amended and in effect from time-to-time thereunder.

"**Obligations**" shall mean all obligations arising under the Notes including but not limited to the principal, accrued interest, and other sums due under the Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Guarantee of Payment</u>.

&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) Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the full and prompt payment and performance to the Investors and the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and in its capacity as agent for the benefit of the Investors, as primary obligor and not as surety, when due, whether at maturity or by reason of acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of the Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each Guarantor acknowledges that valuable consideration supports this Guarantee, including, without limitation, the consideration set forth in the recitals above; any extension, renewal or replacement of any of the Obligations; any forbearance with respect to any of the Obligations or otherwise; any cancellation of an existing guaranty; any purchase of any of the Company's assets by any Investor or Collateral Agent; or any other valuable consideration.

&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) Each Guarantor agrees that all payments under this Guarantee shall be made in United States currency and in the same manner as provided for the Obligations.

&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) Notwithstanding any provision of this Guarantee to the contrary, it is intended that this Guarantee, and any interests, Liens and security interests granted by each Guarantor as security for this Guarantee, not constitute a "**Fraudulent Conveyance**" (as defined below) in the event that this Guarantee or such interest is subject to the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law or other applicable laws of any state. Consequently, each Guarantor, the Collateral Agent and the Investors all agree that if this Guarantee, or any such interests, Liens or security interests securing this Guarantee, would, but for the application of this sentence, constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, this Guarantee and each such Lien and security interest shall be valid and enforceable only to the maximum extent that would not cause this Guarantee or such interest, Lien or security interest to constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, and this Guarantee shall automatically be deemed to have been amended accordingly at all relevant times. For purposes hereof, "**Fraudulent Conveyance**" means a fraudulent conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under the provisions of any applicable fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law or other applicable laws of any state, as in effect from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Costs and Expenses</u>. The Company and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, agrees to pay on demand, all out of pocket Costs and Expenses of every kind incurred by any Investor or the Collateral Agent: (a) in enforcing this Guarantee or any other Transaction Document, (b) in collecting any of the Obligations from any Guarantor pursuant to this Guarantee or any other Transaction Document, (c) in realizing upon or protecting or preserving any Collateral, and (d) in connection with any amendment of, modification to, waiver or forbearance granted under, or enforcement or administration of this Guarantee or any other Transaction Document or for any other purpose in connection with this Guarantee or any other Transaction Document (other than any amendment, modification, waiver or forbearance requested or required by any Investor or the Collateral Agent), in each case, to the extent an Investor or the Collateral Agent may take such action pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Guarantee. "**Costs and Expenses**" as used in the preceding sentence shall include, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by any Investor or the Collateral Agent in retaining legal counsel for advice, suit, appeal, any insolvency or other proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, or for any purpose specified in the preceding sentence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Nature of Guarantee: Continuing, Absolute and Unconditional</u>.

&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) This Guarantee is and is intended to be a continuing guaranty of payment of the Obligations when due, and not of collectability, and is intended to be independent of and in addition to any other guaranty, endorsement, collateral or other agreement held by an Investor or the Collateral Agent therefor or with respect thereto, whether or not furnished by a Guarantor. None of the Investors and the Collateral Agent shall be required to prosecute collection, enforcement or other remedies against the Company, any other Guarantor or guarantor of the Obligations or any other person or entity, or to enforce or resort to any of the Collateral or other rights or remedies pertaining thereto, before calling on a Guarantor for payment. The obligations of each Guarantor to repay the Obligations hereunder shall be unconditional. No Guarantor shall have any right to exercise any right of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution or any other claim which it may now or hereafter have against the Company in connection with this Guarantee until the termination of this Guarantee in accordance with Section 8 below, and hereby waives any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Investors to secure payment of the Obligations, and each Guarantor agrees that it will not take any action to enforce any obligations of the Company to such Guarantor prior to the Obligations being finally and irrevocably paid in full, <u>provided that</u>, in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company, to the extent the Obligations have not been finally and irrevocably paid in full, the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of itself and the Investors, and the Investors shall be entitled notwithstanding the foregoing, to file in the name of any Guarantor or in its own name a claim for any and all indebtedness owing to a Guarantor by such Company (exclusive of this Guarantee), vote such claim and to apply the proceeds of any such claim to the Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) For the further security of the Investors and without in any way diminishing the liability of the Guarantors, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Notes), all debts and liabilities, present or future, of the Company to the Guarantors, and all monies received from the Company or for its account by the Guarantors in respect thereof shall be received in trust for Investors and the Collateral Agent and shall, be paid over to the Collateral Agent, for its benefit and in its capacity as the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Investors, until all of the Obligations have been paid in full. This assignment and postponement is independent of and severable from this Guarantee and shall remain in full effect whether or not any Guarantor is liable for any amount under this Guarantee.

&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) This Guarantee is absolute and unconditional and shall not be changed or affected by any representation, oral agreement, act or thing whatsoever, except as herein provided. This Guarantee is intended by the Guarantors to be the final, complete and exclusive expression of the guarantee agreement among the Company, the Guarantors, the Investors and the Collateral Agent (except as expressly limited by the express terms of this Guarantee). No modification or amendment of any provision of this Guarantee shall be effective against any party hereto unless in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of such party. This Guarantee, together with the other Transaction Documents, supersedes all other prior oral or written agreements between the Investors, the Company, the Guarantors and the Collateral Agent, their respective Affiliates and Persons acting on their respective behalves with respect to the matters discussed herein, and this Guarantee, together with the other Transaction Documents and the other instruments referenced herein and therein, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company, any Guarantor, the Collateral Agent nor any Investor makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. As of the date of this Guarantee, there are no unwritten agreements between the parties with respect to the matters discussed herein. No provision of this Guarantee may be amended, modified or supplemented other than by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto.

&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) Each Guarantor hereby releases each Investor and the Collateral Agent from all, and agrees not to assert or enforce (whether by or in a legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise) any, "claims" (as defined in Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code), whether arising under any law, ordinance, rule, regulation, order, policy or other requirement of any domestic or foreign governmental authority or any instrumentality or agency thereof, having jurisdiction over the conduct of its business or assets or otherwise, to which the Guarantors are or would at any time be entitled by virtue of its obligations hereunder, any payment made pursuant hereto or the exercise by any Investor or the Collateral Agent of its rights with respect to the Collateral, including any such claims to which such Guarantor may be entitled as a result of any right of subrogation, exoneration or reimbursement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Certain Rights and Obligations.</u>

&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) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the Collateral Agent may, without notice, demand or any reservation of rights against such Guarantor and without affecting such Guarantor's obligations hereunder, from time to time:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) renew, extend, increase, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, the terms of or the interest on the Obligations or any part thereof or grant other indulgences to any Guarantor or others;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) accept from any Person and hold Collateral for the payment of the Obligations or any part thereof, and modify, exchange, enforce or refrain from enforcing, or release, compromise, settle, waive, subordinate or surrender, with or without consideration, such Collateral or any part thereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) accept and hold any endorsement or guaranty of payment of the Obligations or any part thereof, and discharge, release or substitute any such obligation of any such endorser or guarantor, or discharge and release or compromise any Guarantor, or any other Person who has given any security interest in any Collateral as security for the payment of the Obligations or any part thereof, or any other Person in any way obligated to pay the Obligations or any part thereof, and enforce or refrain from enforcing, or compromise or modify, the terms of any obligation of any such endorser, guarantor or Person;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) dispose of any and all Collateral securing the Obligations in its reasonable discretion, as it may deem appropriate, and direct the order or manner of such disposition and the enforcement of any and all endorsements and guaranties relating to the Obligations or any part thereof as the Collateral Agent in its reasonable discretion may determine;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) subject to the terms of the Notes, determine the manner, amount and time of application of payments and credits, if any, to be made on all or any part of any component or components of the Obligations (whether principal, interest, fees, costs, and expenses, or otherwise), including, without limitation, the application of payments received from any source to the payment of Indebtedness other than the Obligations even though one or more Investors might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to the Obligations or to amounts which are not covered by this Guarantee to the extent permitted by the Transaction Documents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) take advantage or refrain from taking advantage of any security or accept or make or refrain from accepting or making any compositions or arrangements when and in such manner as Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, may deem appropriate; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) generally do or refrain from doing any act or thing which might otherwise, at law or in equity, release the liability of such Guarantor as a guarantor or surety in whole or in part, and in no case shall any Investor or Collateral Agent be responsible or shall any Guarantor be released either in whole or in part for any act or omission in connection with an Investor or Collateral Agent having sold any security at less than its fair market value, provided that the Investor or Collateral Agent acted in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform Commercial Code in performing such sale.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and upon demand by the Collateral Agent, each Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby agrees to pay the Obligations to the extent hereinafter provided and to the extent unpaid:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 deduction by reason of any setoff, defense (other than payment) or counterclaim of the Company or any other Guarantor;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) without requiring presentment, protest or notice of nonpayment or notice of default to the Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) without demand for payment or proof of such demand or filing of claims with a court in the event of receivership, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or any other Guarantor;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) without requiring any Investor or the Collateral Agent to resort first to the Company (this being a guaranty of payment and not of collection), to any other Guarantor, or to any other guaranty or any collateral which an Investor or the Collateral Agent may hold;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) without requiring notice of acceptance hereof or assent hereto by any Investor or the Collateral Agent; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) without requiring notice that any of the Obligations has been incurred, extended or continued or of the reliance by any Investor or the Collateral Agent upon this Guarantee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) any failure to protect, preserve or insure any Collateral;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Covenants</u>.

Each Guarantor covenants with each Investor and the Collateral Agent that such Guarantor shall not grant any security interest in or permit any Lien upon any of its assets in favor of any Person and security interests in favor of the Investors and the Collateral Agent. Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not take any action or engage in any transaction that such Guarantor is prohibited from taking or engaging in pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents. In addition, each Guarantor agrees to comply with the terms of the Transaction Documents to the same extent that the Company is required to cause the Guarantors to comply with such terms of the Transaction Documents. Each Guarantor, by its signature hereto, hereby acknowledges and agrees that a breach by such Guarantor of this Guarantee constitutes an "**Event of Default**" under the Notes and the other Transaction Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each Guarantor covenants and agrees not to, and to cause each of its Subsidiaries not to: (i) engage in a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Note(s)) with respect to any such entity; or (ii) sell, transfer, dispose of or encumber any assets other than pursuant to the sale of product inventory or the grant of licenses for services and related software in the ordinary course of business, or sell, transfer, encumber, or issue capital stock in any Subsidiary; or (iii) enter into an agreement or arrangement which contemplates or would result in the occurrence of any of the foregoing, in each case to the extent such action or event has or could be reasonable be expected to have an adverse effect on the rights of the Security Party under the Security Documents.

This Guarantee shall not terminate until the full and complete performance and indefeasible satisfaction of all of the Obligations (including, without limitation, the indefeasible payment in full of all such Obligations, but excluding unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and unasserted expense reimbursement obligations which expressly survive termination of this Guarantee or any other Transaction Document) or the termination of the Obligations in accordance with the Transaction Documents. Thereafter, this Guarantee shall automatically terminate without any further action by any party and, subject to the following, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and as agent for the Investors, shall take such actions and execute such documents as the Guarantors may reasonably request (and at the Guarantors' cost and expense) in order to evidence the termination of this Guarantee. Payment of all of the Obligations owing from time to time shall not operate as a discontinuance of this Guarantee if, at such time, there is any commitment by the Investors or Collateral Agent to extend further indebtedness or the Transaction Documents provide for additional or future Obligations, subject to the first sentence of this Section 8. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent that the Company or a Guarantor makes a payment to the Investors or the Collateral Agent on the Obligations, or the Investors or the Collateral Agent receive any proceeds from the Collateral securing the Obligations or any other payments with respect to the Obligations, which payment or receipt of proceeds or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be returned or repaid to the Company, a Guarantor or any of their respective estates, trustees, receivers, debtors in possession or any other Person under any insolvency or bankruptcy law (including, but not limited to the Bankruptcy Code), state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment, return or repayment, the obligation or part thereof which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by such amount shall be reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of the date when such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction occurred, and this Guarantee shall continue in full force notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by any Investor or the Collateral Agent in reliance upon such payment, and any such contrary action so taken shall be without prejudice to any Investor's or the Collateral Agent's rights under this Guarantee and shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment having become final and irrevocable. Upon satisfaction of the Obligations in accordance with this Section 8, each Guarantor's obligations under this Guarantee shall immediately terminate and this Guarantee shall be void.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. <u>Guarantee of Performance</u>. Each Guarantor also, jointly and severally, guarantees the full, prompt and unconditional performance of all Obligations and agreements of every kind owed or hereafter to be owed by the Company or the other Guarantors to the Investors or the Collateral Agent under this Guarantee and the other Transaction Documents. Every provision for the benefit of the Investors or the Collateral Agent contained in this Guarantee shall apply to the guaranty of performance given in this Section 9.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. <u>Assumption of Liens and Obligations.</u> To the extent that a Guarantor has received or shall hereafter receive distributions or transfers from the Company of property or cash that are subject, at the time of such distribution or transfer, to Liens and security interests in favor of the Investors or the Collateral Agent in accordance with the Transaction Documents, such Guarantor hereby expressly agrees that (i) it shall hold such assets subject to such Liens and security interests, and (ii) it shall be liable for the payment of the Obligations secured thereby.

in each case, whether or not then due and owing, and the applicable Investor or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be deemed to have exercised such right of set off immediately at the time of such election even though any charge therefore is made or entered on such Investor's or the Collateral Agent's records subsequent thereto. The Collateral Agent agrees to notify such Guarantor in a reasonable time of any such set-off; however, failure of the Collateral Agent to so notify such Guarantor shall not affect the validity of any set-off.

&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) Each Guarantor's obligation hereunder is to pay the Obligations in full when due according to this Guarantee, the Notes, the other Transaction Documents, and any other agreements, documents and instruments governing the Obligations to the extent provided herein, and shall not be affected by any stay or extension of time for payment for the benefit of the Company or any other Guarantor resulting from any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other 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) No course of dealing between the Company or any Guarantor, on the one hand, and an Investor or the Collateral Agent, on the other hand, and no act, delay or omission by an Investors or the Collateral Agent in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or with respect to any of the Obligations shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right or remedy, and no single or partial exercise thereof shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies of each Investor and the Collateral Agent hereunder are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by 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;(e) This Guarantee shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

&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) The Collateral Agent may assign its rights hereunder, in which event such assignee shall be deemed to be the Collateral Agent hereunder with respect to such assigned rights.

&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) Captions of the sections of this Guarantee are solely for the convenience of the parties hereto, and are not an aid in the interpretation of this Guarantee and do not constitute part of the agreement of the parties set forth herein.

&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) If any provision of this Guarantee is unenforceable in whole or in part for any reason, the remaining provisions shall continue to be effective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. <u>Notices</u>. All notices, approvals, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be delivered or made in the manner set forth in, and shall be effective in accordance with the terms of, the Purchase Agreement; <u>provided</u>, that any communication shall be effective as to any Guarantor if made or sent to the Company in accordance with the foregoing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13. <u>Waivers</u>**.

&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) Each Guarantor waives the benefit of all valuation, appraisal and exemption laws**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Guarantor hereby waives all rights to notice and hearing of any kind prior to the exercise by any Investor or the Collateral Agent, on its behalf and in its capacity as agent for the benefit of the Investors, of its rights to repossess the Collateral without judicial process or to replevy, attach or levy upon the Collateral without prior notice or hearing.

&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) Each Guarantor waives its rights to a trial by jury of any claim or cause of action based upon or arising out of or related to this guaranty, or the other transaction documents, in any action, proceeding or other litigation of any type brought by any Investor or the Collateral Agent. Each Guarantor agrees that any such claim or cause of action shall be tried by a court without a jury. Without limiting the foregoing, each guarantor further agrees that its right to a trial by jury is waived by operation of this section as to any action, counterclaim or other proceeding which seeks, in whole or in part, to challenge the validity or enforceability of this Guarantee or any provision hereof.

Deficiency. If the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Collateral are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the payment in full of the Obligations, Debtors shall remain jointly and severally liable for any deficiency.

Private Sale. Each Debtor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Collateral consisting of securities by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "**Act**"), and applicable state securities laws, but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Debtor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and each Debtor agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to engage in any such private sales or dispositions under such circumstances. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Collateral to permit a Debtor to register such Collateral for public sale under the Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if Debtors would agree to do so. The Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability as a result of the sale of any such Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale provided for in this Agreement conducted in a commercially reasonable manner, and so long as the Collateral Agent conducts such sale in a commercially reasonable manner each Debtor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree.

Each Debtor further agrees to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of any portion or all of any such Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at such Debtor's expense. Each Debtor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 4.8 will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Parties, that the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees that each and every covenant contained in this Section 4.8 shall be specifically enforceable against Debtors by Collateral Agent of behalf of each Secured Party, and each Debtor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral, and any other cash at the time held by the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with the Pro Rata Portion of each Secured Party. "**Pro Rata Portion**" shall mean the ratio of (x) the subscription amount of the Notes purchased by a Secured Party participating under this Section 4.9 and (y) the sum of the aggregate subscription amounts of the Notes purchased by all Secured Parties participating under this Section 4.9.

Attorney-in-Fact. Each Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Debtor and in the name of such Debtor or in its own name, from time to time in the discretion of the Collateral Agent, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to perfect or protect any security interest granted hereunder, to maintain the perfection or priority of any security interest granted hereunder, or to otherwise accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Debtor, without notice to or assent by such Debtor (to the extent permitted by applicable law), to do the following:

Each Debtor hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law, all that such attorneys lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof provided the same is performed in a commercially reasonable manner. The power of attorney granted hereunder is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 4.12 hereof.

Each Debtor also authorizes the Collateral Agent, at any time from and after the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, (x) to communicate in its own name with any party to any Contract with regard to the assignment of the right, title and interest of such Debtor in and under the Contracts hereunder and other matters relating thereto and (y) to execute, in connection with any sale of Collateral provided for in Section 4.5 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.

Perfection. Prior to or concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Debtor shall:

 

*file such financing statements, assignments for security and other documents in such offices as may be necessary or as the Collateral Agent or the Representative may request to perfect the security interests granted by Section 3 of this Agreement;*

*If the Debtor has not done so, the Collateral Agent may do so at any later time at the sole cost of the Debtors.*

Termination; Partial Release of Collateral. This Agreement and the Liens and security interests granted hereunder shall not terminate until the full and complete performance and indefeasible satisfaction of all of the Obligations (including, without limitation, the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all such Obligations) (i) in respect of the Transaction Documents, and (ii) with respect to which claims have been asserted by Collateral Agent and/or a Secured Party,), whereupon the Collateral Agent shall forthwith cause to be assigned, transferred and delivered, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, any remaining Collateral to or on the order of Debtors. The Collateral Agent shall also execute and deliver to Debtors upon such termination and at Debtors' expense such UCC termination statements, certificates for terminating the liens on the Motor Vehicles (if any) and such other documentation as shall be reasonably requested by Debtors or otherwise necessary to effect the termination and release of the Liens and security interests in favor of the Collateral Agent affecting the Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, upon full and complete satisfaction of the Obligations, Debtors obligations under this Agreement shall terminate and any Liens shall thereupon be void.

Further Assurances. Any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Collateral Agent or its Representative, and at the sole expense of Debtors, Debtors will promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all such further instruments, documents and agreements and take such further actions as the Collateral Agent or its Representative may reasonably require in order for the Collateral Agent to obtain the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted in favor of the Collateral Agent, including, without limitation, using Debtors' best efforts to secure all consents and approvals necessary or appropriate for the assignment to the Collateral Agent of any Collateral held by Debtors or in which a Debtor has any rights not heretofore assigned, the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the UCC with respect to the liens and security interests granted hereby, transferring Collateral to the Collateral Agent's possession (if a security interest in such Collateral can be perfected by possession), placing the interest of the Collateral Agent as lienholder on the certificate of title of any Motor Vehicle, and obtaining waivers of liens from landlords and mortgagees. Each Debtor also hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent and its Representative to file any such financing or continuation statement without the signature of such Debtor to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Limitation on Duty of Secured Party. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent under this Agreement are solely to protect the Collateral Agent's interest on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and neither the Collateral Agent nor its Representative nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Debtors for any act or failure to act, except for gross negligence, or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, the Collateral Agent and any Representative shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in their possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Collateral Agent or any Representative, in its individual capacity, accords its own property consisting of the type of Collateral involved, it being understood and agreed that neither the Collateral Agent nor any Representative shall have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps (other than steps taken in accordance with the standard of care set forth above) to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any Collateral.

Also without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Collateral Agent nor any Representative shall have any obligation or liability under any Contract or license by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the granting to the Collateral Agent of a security interest therein or assignment thereof or the receipt by the Collateral Agent or any Representative of any payment relating to any Contract or license pursuant hereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any Representative be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of Debtors under or pursuant to any Contract or license, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Contract or license, or to present or file any claim, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

Miscellaneous.

No Waiver. No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent or any of its Representatives to exercise, and no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Collateral Agent or any of its Representatives of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The rights and remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.

Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Security Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.

Notices. All notices, approvals, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be delivered or made in the manner set forth in, and shall be effective in accordance with the terms of, the Purchase Agreement. Debtors and Collateral Agent may change their respective notice addresses by written notice given to each other party five days prior to the effectiveness of such change.

Amendments, Etc. The terms of this Agreement may be waived, altered or amended only by an instrument in writing duly executed by the Debtor sought to be charged or benefited thereby and the Secured Parties holding a majority of the outstanding principal of the Notes. Any such amendment or waiver shall be binding upon all the Secured Parties (including the Collateral Agent in its capacity as a Secured Party) and the Debtor(s) sought to be charged or benefited thereby and their respective successors and assigns.

Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto, provided, that no Debtor shall assign or transfer its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of each Secured Party. Any Secured Party, including the Collateral Agent in its capacity as a Secured Party, may assign its rights hereunder without the consent of Debtors, in which event such assignee shall be deemed to be a Secured Party and/or Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such assigned rights.

Counterparts; Headings. This Agreement may be authenticated in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument and any of the parties hereto may authenticate this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. This Agreement may be authenticated by manual signature or facsimile, .pdf or similar electronic signature, all of which shall be equally valid. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not alter or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

Severability. If any provision hereof is invalid and unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) the other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in favor of the Collateral Agent, its Representative and each other Secured Party (and all of their respective successors and assigns) in order to carry out the intentions of the parties hereto as nearly as may be possible and (b) the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Exclusive Jurisdiction. Any action, proceeding or claim arising out of, or relating in any way to, this Agreement shall be brought and enforced only as provided in the Purchase Agreement.

**Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. Each Debtor and each Secured Party waive their respective rights to a trial by jury of any claim or cause of action based upon or arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, in any action, proceeding or other litigation of any type brought by any of the parties against any other party or parties, whether with respect to contract claims, tort claims, or otherwise. Each Debtor and each Secured Party agree that any such claim or cause of action shall be tried by a court trial without a jury. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties further agree that their respective right to a trial by jury is waived by operation of this Section as to any action, counterclaim or other proceeding which seeks, in whole or in part, to challenge the validity or enforceability of this agreement or any provision hereof. This waiver shall apply to any subsequent amendments, renewals, supplements or modifications to this Agreement.**

Joint and Several. The obligations, covenants and agreements of Debtors hereunder shall be the joint and several obligations, covenants and agreements of each Debtor, whether or not specifically stated herein without preferences or distinction among them.

Collateral Agent and Secured Parties Indemnification.

 

*Each Secured Party has, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, designated and appointed the Collateral Agent as the administrative agent of such Secured Party under this Agreement and the related agreements.*

 

*Nothing in this Section 5.11 shall be deemed to limit or otherwise affect the rights of the Collateral Agent to exercise any remedy provided in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.*

 

*If pursuant to any Transaction Document a Secured Party (including the Collateral Agent) is given the discretion to allocate proceeds received by such Secured Party (including the Collateral Agent) pursuant to the exercise of remedies under the Transaction Documents or at law or in equity (including without limitation with respect to any secured creditor remedies exercised against the Collateral and any other collateral security provided for under any Transaction Document), the Collateral Agent shall apply such proceeds to the then outstanding Obligations in the following order of priority (with amounts received being applied in the numerical order set forth below until exhausted prior to the application to the next succeeding category and each Secured Party entitled to payment shall receive an amount equal to its Pro Rata Portion of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses second, third and fourth below):*

<u>first</u>, to payment of fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) owing to the Collateral Agent;

<u>second</u>, to payment of all accrued unpaid interest and fees (other than fees owing to Collateral Agent) on the Obligations;

<u>third</u>, to payment of principal of the Obligations;

<u>fourth</u>, to payment of any other amounts owing constituting Obligations; and

<u>fifth</u>, any remainder shall be for the account of and paid to whoever may be lawfully entitled thereto.

 

*Each Debtor agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Collateral Agent (both in its capacity as collateral agent hereunder and as a Secured Party), every other Secured Party, their respective successors and assigns and all of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, members, managers, partners, employees, attorneys and agents, and any Person in control of any thereof (collectively, the "**Indemnitees**"), from and against any claims, debts, liabilities, losses, demands, obligations, actions, causes of action, fines, penalties, reasonable and documented out of pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and consultants' fees), of every nature, character and description (each, an "**Indemnified Liability**" and collectively the "**Indemnified Liabilities**"), under federal and state securities laws or otherwise insofar as such Indemnified Liability arises out of or is based upon any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, any of the Obligations, or any other cause or thing whatsoever occurred, done, omitted or suffered to be done by a Debtor relating to any Secured Party or the Obligations (except any such amounts sustained or incurred solely as the result of the gross negligence, or willful misconduct of such Secured Party(ies), as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction).*

No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement, together with the other transaction documents, supersedes all other prior oral or written agreements between the Secured Parties, the Collateral Agent, the Debtors, their affiliates and persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein, and this Agreement, together with the other transaction documents and the other instruments referenced herein and therein, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the secured party nor any Debtor makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. As of the date of this Agreement, there are no unwritten agreements between the parties with respect to the matters discussed herein. No provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Debtors and the Secured Party**.**
