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

---

On July 29, 2025, Bollinger Innovations, Inc. (the "**Company**") entered into an Amendment and Exchange Agreement (the "**Exchange Agreement**") with certain investors (each individually a "**Holder**" and collectively, the "**Holders**"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to exchange certain outstanding senior secured convertible notes (the "**Exchange Notes**") and warrants (the "**Exchange Warrants**") previously issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreements, as may have been amended from time to time, dated May 14, 2024, January 23, 2025, February 5, 2025, March 6, 2025, May 16, 2025 and May 29, 2025 (each a "**Securities Purchase Agreement**" and collectively, the "**Securities Purchase Agreements**"). The Exchange Agreement provides for the exchange of the Exchange Notes and Exchange Warrants issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreements for newly authorized shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share ("**Series F Preferred Stock**") and Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share ("**Series G Preferred Stock**," and together with the Series F Preferred Stock, the "**Preferred Stock**"), respectively.

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "**Securities Act**") and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D ("**Regulation D**") as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "**SEC**"), the Holders agreed to exchange (i) the Exchange Notes, with an aggregate principal and accrued interest of approximately $25.5 million for approximately 25,521 shares of Series F Preferred Stock (the "**Series F Preferred Shares**") and (ii) the Exchange Warrants, exercisable (on a cash basis) for approximately 4.3 million shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "**Common Stock**") for approximately 109,219 shares of Series G Preferred Stock (the "**Series G Preferred Shares**" and together with the Series F Preferred Shares, the "**Preferred Shares**"). Upon closing of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, the Exchange Notes and Exchange Warrants were cancelled and the Holders relinquished all rights, title and interest in such securities.

The Exchange Agreement includes certain covenants, including, among others, that (i) the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the listing of its Common Stock on a stock exchange, (ii) while Preferred Shares remain outstanding, (A) during a certain 90 day period, the Company will not, with certain exceptions, offer or issue any equity or related securities, and (B) the Company will not, without approval from Holders of a majority of the outstanding Preferred Shares, issue any equity security having a preference over or party with the Preferred Shares with respect to dividends, liquidation or redemption or having a preference over the Common Stock with respect to dividends, liquidation or redemption, and the Company and its subsidiaries will not incur any indebtedness. The Company also agreed not to enter into any fundamental transaction, such as a merger, sale of more than 50% of the outstanding voting shares, sale of substantially all assets, or business combination, unless such transaction complies with the terms of the Certificates of Designations (as defined below in Item 5.03 of this Report). Additionally, the Exchange Agreement amended each of the Transaction Documents (as defined in each Securities Purchase Agreement) to incorporate the Series F Preferred Stock and Series G Preferred Stock. The Exchange Agreement contains customary representations and warranties between the Company and the Holders.

If, upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, the Company fails to timely issue the shares of Common Stock, then, at the sole discretion of the Holder, the Company will pay in cash to such Holder on each trading day after the delivery date an amount equal to 1% of the product of the number of shares of Common Stock not so delivered multiplied by the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such delivery date.

This description of the Exchange Agreement and the transactions related thereto does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Exchange Agreement filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

The information set forth above in Item 1.01 and below in Item 5.03 is incorporated herein by reference. The issuance of the Series F Preferred Stock and Series G Preferred Stock, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof, was made in reliance upon the exemptions from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, because it involves an exchange with the Company's exchange security holders exclusively where no commission or other remuneration is paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exchange and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D, because, among other things, the transaction did not involve a public offering and the investors represented that they are accredited investors.

The Certificates of Designations set forth the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock and Series G Preferred Stock.

<u>Series F Preferred Stock</u>

The following is a summary of the terms of the Series F Preferred Stock.

*Serial Designations and Number of Shares*. The Series F Preferred Stock consists of the following serial designations, which are identical in all respects to every other share of Series F Preferred Stock, except as set forth in the Series F Certificate of Designations: 560 shares of F-1 Preferred Stock; 1,700 shares of F-2 Preferred Stock; 4,200 shares of F-3 Preferred Stock; 1,700 shares of F-4 Preferred Stock; 6,900 shares of F-5 Preferred Stock; 2,325 shares of F-6 Preferred Stock; 2,150 shares of F-7 Preferred Stock; 1,715 shares of F-8 Preferred Stock; and 4,350 shares of F-9 Preferred Stock.

*Ranking*.

*Conversion and Exchange*. Each share of Series F Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of a Holder at any time into shares of Common Stock by dividing the conversion amount by the lower of (a) the applicable Conversion Fixed Price for the relevant series ("**Conversion Fixed Price**" means (1) for the F-1 Preferred Shares, $775, (2) for the F-2 Preferred Shares, $1,150, (3) for the F-3 Preferred Shares, $156,060, (4) for the F-4 Preferred Shares, $3,401, (5) for the F-5 Preferred Shares, $248,000, (6) for the F-6 Preferred Shares, $642,000, (7) for the F-7 Preferred Shares, $18,500, (8) for the F-8 Preferred Shares, $51,400, and (9) for the F-9 Preferred Shares, $346,800,000), (b) 95% of the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the date the initial registration statement for such series is declared effective by the SEC, or (c) 95% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price (VWAP) in the five trading days prior to the conversion date, but in no event less than the applicable Conversion Floor Price ("**Conversion Floor Price**" means (1) for the F-1 Preferred Shares, $0.02, (2) for the F-2 Preferred Shares, $0.03, (3) for the F-3 Preferred Shares, $0.05, (4) for the F-4 Preferred Shares, $0.07, (5) for the F-5 Preferred Shares, $0.08, (6) for the F-6 Preferred Shares, $0.21, (7) for the F-7 Preferred Shares, $0.37, (8) for the F-8 Preferred Shares, $1.03, and (9) for the F-9 Preferred Shares, $1.16, which amounts are not subject to adjustment for stock dividends, subdivisions, or combinations). The conversion price and shares are subject to adjustment, pursuant to Section 6 of the Certificate of Designations, in the event of stock dividends and stock splits, and subsequent equity sales.

If, upon conversion of Series F Preferred Shares, the Company fails to timely issue the shares of Common Stock, then, at the sole discretion of the Holder, the Company will pay in cash to such Holder on each trading day after the delivery date an amount equal to 1% of the product of the number of shares of Common Stock not so delivered multiplied by the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such delivery date.

If any shares of Series F Preferred Stock are converted, redeemed or reacquired by the Company, such shares may not be reissued and will automatically be retired and cancelled and resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock. The Series F Preferred Stock will not be convertible by a Holder to the extent that such Holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 9.9% of the Common Stock, as further described in the Series F Preferred Certificate of Designations.

*Dividends*. Holders of Series F Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at an annual rate of 20% of the $1,000 stated value per share of Series F Preferred Stock, accruing daily, whether or not declared and whether or not there are funds legally available for payment. Dividends are payable in cash quarterly in arrears on the first trading day of each fiscal quarter beginning on October 1, 2025. At the option of each Holder, dividends may be paid at any time in shares of Common Stock pursuant to the conversion terms described above.

*Company Optional Redemption*. At any time, the Company has the right to redeem in cash all, but not less than all, the shares of Series F Preferred Stock then outstanding equal to the sum of (1) the stated value plus (2) the all accrued dividends.

*Covenants*. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to certain customary affirmative and negative covenants regarding the rank of the Series F Preferred Stock, the incurrence of indebtedness, the existence of liens, the repayment of indebtedness when a Triggering Event has occurred, the payment of cash in respect of dividends, distributions or redemptions, and the transfer of assets, among other customary matters. A "**Triggering Event**" includes, but is not limited to: (i) failure to maintain sufficient reserves of authorized Common Stock; (ii) the Company's failure to deliver shares of Common Stock upon conversion, or notice of the Company's intention not to comply with a request for conversion of any Series F Preferred Stock; (iii) failure to declare or pay any dividend when due; (iv) the occurrence of any default under, redemption of or acceleration prior to maturity in an aggregate amount in excess of $300,000 of indebtedness (as described in the Series F Certificate of Designations) of the Company or any subsidiary; (v) failure to maintain the listing of its Common Stock on a stock exchange; (vi) failure to file annual or quarterly reports within the required periods; (vii) bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company; and (viii) breach of any representation or warranty when made, or any covenant or other term or condition of any Transaction Document.

The Company may not enter into any fundamental transaction unless the successor entity issues in exchange securities with similar rights.

*Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up*. In the event of any Liquidation Event (as defined in the Series F Certificate of Designation), the Holders of Series F Preferred Shares will be entitled to receive prior and in preference to any distribution of the proceeds to the holders of the Common Stock, an amount per share equal to the Conversion Fixed Price plus declared but unpaid dividends on such shares.

<u>Series G Preferred Stock</u>

The following is a summary of the terms of the Series G Preferred Stock.

*Ranking*. The Series G Preferred Stock, with respect to the payment of dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company, ranks senior to all capital stock of the Company, unless at least a majority of the outstanding Series G Preferred Shares consent to the creation of other capital stock of the Company that is senior or equal in rank to the Series G Preferred Stock.

*Conversion and Exchange*. Each shares of Series G Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of a Holder at any time prior to the applicable conversion maturity date (as set forth in the Holder Schedule attached to the Exchange Agreement) into shares of Common Stock, determined by dividing the stated value of $1,000 per share of Series G Preferred Stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations, reclassifications, combinations, subdivisions or other similar events with respect to the Series G Preferred Stock) by the lower of the two closing bid prices of the Common Stock in the two days prior to the date of such conversion, but in any event not less than $0.10 per share. If, upon conversion of Series G Preferred Shares, the Company fails to timely issue the shares of Common Stock, then, at the sole discretion of the Holder, the Company will pay in cash to such Holder on each trading day after the delivery date an amount equal to 1% of the product of the number of shares of Common Stock not so delivered multiplied by the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such delivery date.

If any shares of Series G Preferred Stock are converted, redeemed or reacquired by the Company, such shares may not be reissued and will automatically be retired and cancelled and resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock. The Series G Preferred Stock will not be convertible by a Holder to the extent that such Holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 9.9% of the Common Stock, as further described in the Series G Preferred Certificate of Designations.

*Voting Rights*.

## Exhibit 3.1

**Exhibit 3.1**

**CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS, PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS**

**OF**

**SERIES F CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK**

**OF<br>BOLLINGER INNOVATIONS, INC.**

I, David Michery, hereby certify that I am the Chief Executive Officer of Bollinger Innovations, Inc. (the "**Company**"), a corporation organized and existing under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "**DGCL**"), and further do hereby certify:

That pursuant to the authority expressly conferred upon the Board of Directors of the Company (the "**Board**") by the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the "**Certificate of Incorporation**"), and Section 151(g) of the DGCL, the Board on July 29, 2025 adopted the following resolution determining it desirable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders for the Company to create a series of twenty five thousand six hundred (25,600) shares of preferred stock designated as "**Series F Convertible Preferred Stock**", none of which shares have been issued, to be issued pursuant to the Exchange Agreement (as defined below), in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Agreement:

RESOLVED, that, pursuant to the authority vested in the Board, this Company, in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, a series of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company be and hereby is created, and that the designation and number of shares thereof and the voting and other powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights of the shares of such series and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof are as follows:

**TERMS OF SERIES F CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Designation and Number of Shares</u>. There shall hereby be created and established a series of preferred stock of the Company designated as "Series F Convertible Preferred Stock", consisting of the following distinctive serial designations: Series F-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the "**F-1 Preferred Shares**"), Series F-2 Convertible Preferred Stock (the "**F-2 Preferred Shares**"), Series F-3 Convertible Preferred Stock (the "**F-3 Preferred Shares**"), Series F-4 Convertible Preferred Stock (the "**F-4 Preferred Shares**"), Series F-5 Convertible Preferred Stock (the "**F-5 Preferred Shares**"), Series F-6 Convertible Preferred Stock (the "**F-6 Preferred Shares**"), Series F-7 Convertible Preferred Stock (the "**F-7 Preferred Shares**"), Series F-8 Convertible Preferred Stock (the "**F-8 Preferred Shares**"), and Series F-9 Convertible Preferred Stock (the "**F-9 Preferred Shares**", and together with the F-1 Preferred Shares, F-2 Preferred Shares, F-3 Preferred Shares, F-4 Preferred Shares, F-5 Preferred Shares, F-6 Preferred Shares, F-7 Preferred Shares, and F-8 Preferred Shares, the "**Preferred Shares**").

The number of shares so designated shall be as follows:

560 shares of F-1 Preferred Shares;

1,700 shares of F-2 Preferred Shares;

4,200 shares of F-3 Preferred Shares;

1,700 shares of F-4 Preferred Shares;

6,900 shares of F-5 Preferred Shares;

2,325 shares of F-6 Preferred Shares;

In the event of the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, the Preferred Shares shall maintain their relative rights, powers, designations, privileges and preferences provided for herein and no such merger or consolidation shall result inconsistent therewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Dividends</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) From and after the first date of issuance of any Preferred Shares (the "**Initial Issuance Date**"), dividends ("**Dividends**") on the Preferred Shares shall commence accruing on a daily basis, whether or not declared by the board of directors of this Corporation and whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of dividends, at an annual rate equal to the Dividend Rate computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days and shall be payable in cash in arrears on the first Trading Day of each Fiscal Quarter (each, a "**Dividend Date**") with the first Dividend Date being October 1, 2025; provided that if any Dividend Date is not a Business Day, then the dividend that would otherwise have been payable on that Dividend Date may be paid on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest, additional dividends or other sums will accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after that Dividend Date to that next succeeding Business Day. The record date for payment of Dividends shall be the 25th day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month during which the Dividend Date falls. All accrued Dividends on any Preferred Share shall accumulate whether or not declared by the board of directors of this Corporation and shall remain accumulated dividends until paid, converted or redeemed pursuant to this Certificate of Designations. Dividends shall not accrue on the day on which they are paid if payment is made to a Holder prior to 12:00 p.m. ET. Any payment of Dividends after 12:00 p.m. ET on any Business Day shall be credited to the Preferred Shares on the next Business Day and Dividends will continue to accrue until so credited. At the option of the applicable Holder, at any time and from time to time, the Company will pay all, or any part of, such Dividends in Conversion Shares pursuant to the provisions of <u>Section 4</u>, where the "Conversion Amount" will be equal to all, or any part of, such Dividend that such Holder has elected to be paid pursuant to this provision.

&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) Prior to the payment of Dividends on a Dividend Date, Dividends on the Preferred Shares shall accrue regardless of whether (i) the Company has earnings; (ii) there are funds legally available for the payment of such Dividends; or (iii) such Dividends are declared by the board of directors. No interest, or sum in lieu of interest, will be payable in respect of any Dividend payment or payments on the Preferred Shares which may be in arrears. Any Dividend payment made on the Preferred Shares shall first be credited against the earliest accumulated but unpaid Dividend due with respect to the Preferred Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Conversion</u>. At any time after the Initial Issuance Date, each Preferred Share shall be convertible into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (the "**Conversion Shares**"), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this <u>Section 4</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>Holder's Conversion Right</u>. Subject to the provisions of <u>Section 4(f)</u>, at any time or times on or after the Initial Issuance Date, each Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding Preferred Shares held by such Holder into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Conversion Shares in accordance with <u>Section 4(c)</u> at the Conversion Rate (as defined below). The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent (as defined below)) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Conversion Shares upon conversion of any Preferred Shares.

&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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but consistent with the provisions of this subsection with respect to fractional Conversion Shares, nothing shall prevent any Holder from converting fractional Preferred Shares.

&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>Conversion Shares</u>. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of any Preferred Share pursuant to <u>Section 4(a)</u> shall be determined by dividing (x) the Conversion Amount of such Preferred Share by (y) the Conversion Price (as defined below) (the "**Conversion Rate**"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) "**Conversion Amount**" means, with respect to each Preferred Share, as of the applicable date of determination, (1) the Stated Value thereof and/or (2) the accrued Dividends thereon as of such date of determination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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) "**Conversion Price**" means, with respect to each Preferred Share, as of any Conversion Date or other date of determination, the lower of (a) the applicable Conversion Fixed Price, subject to adjustment as provided herein, (b) 95% of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the date on which the Initial Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreements) with respect to such serial designation of Preferred Shares is declared effective by the SEC, subject to adjustment as provided herein, and (c) 95% of the lowest daily VWAP in the five (5) Trading Days prior to such Conversion Date; *<u>provided</u>*, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Conversion Price shall not be less than the applicable Conversion Floor Price. For the avoidance of doubt, the applicable Conversion Floor Price shall not be subject to adjustment provided for in this Certificate of Designations that is otherwise applicable to the 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) "**Conversion Fixed Price**" means (1) for the F-1 Preferred Shares, $775, (2) for the F-2 Preferred Shares, $1,150, (3) for the F-3 Preferred Shares, $156,060, (4) for the F-4 Preferred Shares, $3,401, (5) for the F-5 Preferred Shares, $248,000, (6) for the F-6 Preferred Shares, $642,000, (7) for the F-7 Preferred Shares, $18,500, (8) for the F-8 Preferred Shares, $51,400, and (9) for the F-9 Preferred Shares, $346,800,000. All such amounts shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination 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;(iv) "**Conversion Floor Price**" means (1) for the F-1 Preferred Shares, $0.02, (2) for the F-2 Preferred Shares, $0.03, (3) for the F-3 Preferred Shares, $0.05, (4) for the F-4 Preferred Shares, $0.07, (5) for the F-5 Preferred Shares, $0.08, (6) for the F-6 Preferred Shares, $-.21, (7) for the F-7 Preferred Shares, $0.37, (8) for the F-8 Preferred Shares, $1.03, and (9) for the F-9 Preferred Shares, $1.16, which amounts shall not be subject to adjustment for stock dividends, subdivisions, or combinations in the manner described in <u>Section 6(b)</u> 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;(d) <u>Mechanics of Conversion</u>. The conversion of each Preferred Share shall be conducted in the following manner:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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>Holder's Conversion</u>. To convert a Preferred Share into Conversion Shares on any date (each, a "**Conversion Date**"), a Holder shall deliver to the Company (whether via facsimile or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 4:00 p.m., New York time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as **<u>Exhibit I</u>** (the "**Conversion Notice**"). All Conversion Notices received after 4:00 p.m., New York time, on any Trading Day or at any time on a day that is not a Trading Day shall be considered to have been provided as of the next Trading Day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) <u>Company's Response</u>. Not later than the first (1st) Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by email an acknowledgment of confirmation, in the form attached hereto as **<u>Exhibit II</u>**, of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such Holder and the Company's transfer agent (the "**Transfer Agent**"), which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein. On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date of receipt by the Company of such Conversion Notice (the "**Required Credit Date**"), the Company shall credit such aggregate number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such conversion to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with The Depository Trust Company ("**DTC**") through its Deposit/ Withdrawal at Custodian system.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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>Record Holder</u>. Upon delivery of a Conversion Notice, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Conversion Shares with respect to which such Conversion Notice was issued, irrespective of the date such Conversion Shares are credited to the Holder's DTC account.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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>Company's Failure to Timely Convert</u>. If the Company fails to issue and credit to the Holder by the Required Credit Date the balance account of Holder or Holder's nominee with DTC for such number of Conversion Shares so delivered to the Company, then, in addition to all other remedies available to Holder, at the sole discretion of Holder, the Company shall pay in cash to Holder on each Trading Day after the Required Credit Date that the issuance or credit of such Conversion Shares is not timely effected an amount equal to 1% of the product of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock not so delivered or credited (as the case may be) to Holder or Holder's nominee multiplied by (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Required Credit Date.

To the extent permitted by law, the Company's obligations to issue and credit the Conversion Shares 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 that might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of the Conversion Shares. Nothing herein 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 issue and credit the Conversion Shares 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) <u>Disputes</u>. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the applicable Conversion Price or the arithmetic calculation of the number of Conversion Shares to be issued pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Conversion Shares that are not disputed, provided that following such issuance to Holder such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with <u>Section 22</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;(vi) <u>Book-Entry</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this <u>Section 4</u>, upon conversion of any portion of Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, no Holder thereof shall be required to physically surrender such Preferred Shares to the Company. If a Holder surrenders a portion of such Holder's Preferred Shares as provided by <u>Section 17</u>, then the Company shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after receipt of such Preferred Shares and at its own expense, issue and deliver to such Holder (or its designee) new Preferred Shares (in accordance with <u>Section 17(d)</u>) representing the remaining Preferred Shares after such surrender. Each Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Preferred Shares so converted by such Holder and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to such Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of Preferred Shares upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of such Holder establishing the remaining amount of Preferred Shares to which the record holder is entitled shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. A Holder and any transferee or assignee, by acceptance of a certificate, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of any Preferred Shares, the outstanding Preferred Shares represented by any certificate may be less than stated on the face thereof. Each certificate for Preferred Shares shall bear the following legend:

**ANY TRANSFEREE SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS OF THE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS, PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS OF SERIES F CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK, INCLUDING <u>SECTIONS 4(c)(vi)</u> AND <u>17(a)</u> THEREOF. THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE AND, ACCORDINGLY, THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION HEREOF MAY BE LESS THAN THE AMOUNT SET FORTH ON THE FACE HEREOF PURSUANT TO <u>SECTION 4(c)(vi)</u> OF THE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS.**

&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>Taxes</u>. The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp, transfer (but only in respect of the registered holder thereof), issuance and other similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Conversion Shares upon the conversion of Preferred Shares.

&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>Limitations on Beneficial Ownership</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Certificate of Designations, Preferred Shares shall not be convertible or exchangeable by a Holder thereof to the extent (but only to the extent), after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, such Holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 9.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, as calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act (the "**Maximum Percentage**"). To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether Preferred Shares shall be convertible or exchangeable (vis-à-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates) and of which such securities shall be convertible, exercisable or exchangeable (as among all such securities owned by the Holder) shall, subject to such Maximum Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to the Company for conversion, exercise or exchange (as the case may be). No prior inability to convert or exchange Preferred Shares pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility or exchangeability. For the purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this paragraph to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder of Preferred Shares. The holders of Common Stock shall be third party beneficiaries of this paragraph and the Company may not waive this paragraph without the consent of holders of a majority of its Common Stock. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two (2) Business Days confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion or exercise or exchange of convertible or exercisable or exchangeable securities into Common Stock, including, without limitation, pursuant to this Certificate of Designations or securities issued pursuant to the Exchange Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5. <u>Triggering Events</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;(iv) the Company's (A) failure to timely deliver the required number of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of any Preferred Shares, and any such failure remains uncured for a period of five (5) Business Days, or (B) notice, written or oral, to any holder of Preferred Shares, including, without limitation, by way of public announcement or through any of its agents, at any time, of its intention not to comply, as required, with a request for conversion of any Preferred Shares into Common Stock that is requested in accordance with the provisions of this Certificate of Designation, in each case, other than pursuant to <u>Section 4(f)</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;(vii) the occurrence of (A) any default under or acceleration prior to maturity of any Indebtedness (but excluding <u>clause (E)</u> of such definition and <u>clauses (F</u>) and <u>(G)</u> to the extent they relate to Indebtedness describe in <u>clause (E)</u>) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in an aggregate amount in excess of $300,000, subject to any cure or grace period provided in the governing documents of such Indebtedness, or (B) a payment default under any such Indebtedness, if such default remains uncured for a period of ten (10) consecutive Trading Days;

&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>Stock Dividends and Splits</u>. Without limiting any provision of <u>Section 7</u>, if the Company, at any time on or after the date of the Exchange Agreement, (i) pays a stock dividend on one or more classes of its then outstanding Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in Common Stock, (ii) subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding Common Stock into a larger number of shares or (iii) combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the applicable Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to <u>clause (i)</u> of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to <u>clause (ii)</u> or <u>(iii)</u> of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this paragraph occurs during the period that a Conversion Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Conversion Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.

&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>Adjustment Upon Issuance of Common Stock</u>. If, during the Restricted Period, the Company effects an Additional Issuance, or in accordance with this <u>Section 6</u> is deemed to have effected an Additional Issuance, 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) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold) for a consideration per share (the "**New Issuance Price**") less than a price equal to the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (such Conversion Price then in effect is referred to as the "**Applicable Price**") (the foregoing a "**Dilutive Issuance**"), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced (and in no event increased) to the price per share as determined in accordance with the following formula:

CP<sub>2</sub> = CP<sub>1</sub> x (A + B) / (A + C)

For purposes of the foregoing formula:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A = | The total number of Conversion Shares with respect to which the Preferred Shares may be converted. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| B = | The total number of shares of Common Stock that would be issued or issuable under the Dilutive Issuance if issued at a per share equal to CP<sub>1</sub>. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| C = | The total number of shares of Common Stock actually issued or issuable under the Dilutive Issuance. |

---

CP<sub>1</sub> = The applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to a Dilutive Issuance.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| CP<sub>2</sub> = | The applicable Conversion Price immediately after such Dilutive Issuance; *<u>provided</u>*, *<u>however</u>*, that such price shall in no event be less than **<u>$0.01</u>** per share of Common Stock (which shall <u>not</u> be subject to adjustment for stock dividends, subdivisions, or combinations in the manner described in <u>Section 6(b)</u> herein, the "**Dilution Floor Price**"); |

---

*<u>provided</u>*, that if such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) was without consideration, then the Company shall be deemed to have received the Dilution Floor Price for each such share so issued or deemed to be issued. For all purposes of the foregoing (including, without limitation, determining the adjusted Conversion Price and consideration per share under this <u>Section 6(c)</u>), 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;(i) <u>Issuance of Options</u>. If, during the Restricted Period, the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is 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 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. For purposes of this <u>Section 6(c)(i)</u>, the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option" shall be equal to (A) 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 minus (B) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Option (or any other Person) 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 plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Option (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such 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;(ii) <u>Issuance of Convertible Securities</u>. If, during the Restricted Period, the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities (other than Preferred Shares) and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange 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 <u>Section 6(c)(ii)</u>, the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof" shall be equal to (A) 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 minus (B) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person) 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). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Price has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this <u>Section 6(c)</u>, except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue 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;(iii) [Reserved]

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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>Calculation of Consideration Received</u>. If, during the Restricted Period, any Option or Convertible Security is issued in connection with the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of any other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, (A) such Option or Convertible Security (as applicable) will be deemed to have been issued for consideration equal to the Black Scholes Consideration Value thereof and (B) the other securities issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold in such integrated transaction shall be deemed to have been issued for consideration equal to the difference of (1) the aggregate consideration received by the Company, <u>minus</u> (2) the Black Scholes Consideration Value of each such Option or Convertible Security (as applicable). If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount of consideration received by the Company therefor. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company 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 (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any Common Stock, Options 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 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 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 ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the "**Valuation Event**"), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Trading Days after the tenth (10<sup>th</sup>) 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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>Record Date</u>. If, during the Restricted Period, the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the 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).

&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>Calculations</u>. All calculations under this <u>Section 6</u> shall be made by rounding to the nearest 1/10000<sup>th</sup> of cent and the nearest 1/100,000<sup>th</sup> of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

&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>Other Events</u>. In the event that the Company shall take any action to which the provisions hereof are not strictly applicable, or, if applicable, would not operate to protect the Holders from dilution or if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this <u>Section 6</u> but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company's board of directors shall in good faith determine and implement an appropriate adjustment in the applicable Conversion Price and the number of Conversion Shares (if applicable) so as to protect the rights of the Holders, *<u>provided</u>* that no such adjustment pursuant to this <u>Section 6(e)</u> will increase the applicable Conversion Price or decrease the number of Conversion Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this <u>Section 6</u>, *<u>provided</u> <u>further</u>* that if the Required Holders do not accept such adjustments as appropriately protecting its interests hereunder against such dilution, then the Company's board of directors and the Required Holders shall agree, in good faith, upon an independent investment bank of nationally recognized standing to make such appropriate adjustments, whose determination shall be final and binding and whose fees and expenses shall be borne by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Purchase Rights; Fundamental Transaction</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>Purchase Rights</u>. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to <u>Section 6</u> herein, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the "**Purchase Rights**"), then the Holders will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holders could have acquired if the Holders had held the number of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of the Preferred Shares (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (*<u>provided</u>*, *<u>however</u>*, to the extent that a Holder's right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in such Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then such Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for such Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage).

&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>Fundamental Transactions</u>. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Certificate of Designations and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this <u>Section 7(b)</u> pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders, including agreements confirming the obligations of the Successor Entity as set forth in this Certificate of Designations and an obligation to deliver to the Holder in exchange for the Preferred Shares a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Certificate of Designations, including, without limitation, which is convertible for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Certificate of Designations), having a stated value and dividend rate equal to the stated value and dividend rate of the Preferred Shares held by the Holders and having similar ranking to the Preferred Shares prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price which applies the applicable Conversion Price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such adjustments to the number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of the Preferred Shares immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Redemption at the Company's Election</u>. At any time, the Company shall have the right to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Preferred Shares then outstanding on the Company Optional Redemption Date (as defined below) (a "**Company Optional Redemption**"). Each Preferred Share subject to redemption pursuant to this <u>Section 8</u> shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price (the "**Company Optional Redemption Price**") equal to the sum of (1) the Stated Value thereof plus (2) the all accrued Dividends thereon as of such date of determination. The Company may exercise its right to require redemption under this <u>Section 8</u> by delivering a written notice thereof by electronic mail and overnight courier to all, but not less than all, of the Holders (the "**Company Optional Redemption Notice**" and the date all of the Holders received such notice is referred to as the "**Company Optional Redemption Notice Date**"). The Company may deliver only one Company Optional Redemption Notice hereunder in any given twenty (20) Trading Day period and each Company Optional Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable. The Company Optional Redemption Notice shall specify (x) the date on which the Company Optional Redemption shall occur (the "**Company Optional Redemption Date**") which date shall not be less than thirty (30) Trading Days nor more than one hundred (100) Trading Days following the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date, and (y) the Company Optional Redemption Price per Preferred Share which is being redeemed in such Company Optional Redemption from such Holder and all of the other Holders of the Preferred Shares pursuant to this <u>Section 8</u> on the Company Optional Redemption Date. For each Preferred Share subject to redemption pursuant to this <u>Section 8</u>, the Company shall deliver the applicable Company Optional Redemption Price to the applicable Holder in cash on the applicable Company Optional Redemption Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at any time prior to the date the Company Optional Redemption Price is paid, in full, Preferred Shares may be converted by any Holder into shares of Common Stock pursuant to <u>Section 4</u>. All Conversion Amounts converted by a Holder after the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date shall reduce the number of Preferred Shares of such Holder required to be redeemed on the Company Optional Redemption Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall have no right to effect a Company Optional Redemption if any Triggering Event has occurred and is continuing, but any Triggering Event shall have no effect upon any Holder's right to convert Preferred Shares in its discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. <u>Non-circumvention</u>. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, 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 of this Certificate of Designations, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Certificate of Designations and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares, and (ii) shall, so long as any Preferred Shares remain outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of Preferred Shares, the maximum number of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of the Preferred Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. <u>Reservation of Shares; Insufficient Authorized Shares</u>. The Company shall initially reserve out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 250% of the maximum number of Conversion Shares, but not to exceed the authorized shares of Common Stock set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation, issuable to satisfy the Company's obligations to issue shares of Common Stock hereunder, and the Company shall at all times keep reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Shares a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 250% of the maximum number of Conversion Shares, but not to exceed the authorized shares of Common Stock set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation, issuable to satisfy the Company's obligation to issue shares of Common Stock hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. <u>Voting Rights</u>. Holders of Preferred Shares shall have no voting rights, except as required by law (including without limitation, the DGCL) and as expressly provided in this Certificate of Designations. To the extent that under the DGCL the vote of the holders of the Preferred Shares, voting separately as a class or series, as applicable, is required to authorize a given action of the Company, the affirmative vote or consent of the Required Holders of the shares of the Preferred Shares, voting together in the aggregate and not in separate series unless required under the DGCL, represented at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is presented or by written consent of the Required Holders (except as otherwise may be required under the DGCL), voting together in the aggregate and not in separate series unless required under the DGCL, shall constitute the approval of such action by both the class or the series, as applicable. Subject to <u>Section 4(f)</u>, to the extent that under the DGCL holders of the Preferred Shares are entitled to vote on a matter with holders of shares of Common Stock, voting together as one class, each Preferred Share shall entitle the holder thereof to cast that number of votes per share as is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which it is then convertible (subject to the ownership limitations specified in <u>Section 4(f)</u> hereof) using the record date for determining the stockholders of the Company eligible to vote on such matters as the date as of which the applicable Conversion Price is calculated. Holders of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to written notice of all stockholder meetings or written consents (and copies of proxy materials and other information sent to stockholders) with respect to which they would be entitled to vote, which notice would be provided pursuant to the Company's bylaws and the DGCL.

**Exhibit 3.2**

**CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS, PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS**

**OF**

**SERIES G CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK**

**OF<br>BOLLINGER INNOVATIONS, INC.**

I, David Michery, hereby certify that I am the Chief Executive Officer of Bollinger Innovations, Inc. (the "**Company**"), a corporation organized and existing under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "**DGCL**"), and further do hereby certify:

That pursuant to the authority expressly conferred upon the Board of Directors of the Company (the "**Board**") by the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the "**Certificate of Incorporation**"), and Section 151(g) of the DGCL, the Board on July 29, 2025 adopted the following resolution determining it desirable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders for the Company to create a series of One Hundred Ten Thousand (110,000) shares of preferred stock designated as "**Series G Convertible Preferred Stock**", none of which shares have been issued, to be issued pursuant to the Exchange Agreement (as defined below), in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Agreement:

RESOLVED, that, pursuant to the authority vested in the Board, this Company, in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, a series of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company be and hereby is created, and that the designation and number of shares thereof and the voting and other powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights of the shares of such series and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof are as follows:

**TERMS OF SERIES G CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Designation and Number of Shares</u>. There shall hereby be created and established a series of preferred stock of the Company designated as "Series G Convertible Preferred Stock", consisting of the following distinctive serial designations: Series G Convertible Preferred Stock (the "**G Preferred Shares**"). The authorized number of Preferred Shares shall be One Hundred Ten Thousand (110,000) shares. Each Preferred Share shall have a par value of $0.001. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning as set forth in <u>Section 30</u> below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Ranking</u>. Except to the extent that the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Preferred Shares (the "**Required Holders**") expressly consent to the creation of Parity Stock (as defined below) or Senior Preferred Stock (as defined below) in accordance with <u>Section 15</u>, all shares of capital stock of the Company shall be junior in rank to all Preferred Shares with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company (such junior stock is referred to herein collectively as "**Junior Stock**"). For the avoidance of doubt, the Preferred Shares will, with respect to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution, rank (A) junior to the Senior Preferred Stock, (B) on parity with the Parity Stock and (C) senior to the Junior Stock. The rights of all such shares of capital stock of the Company shall be subject to the rights, powers, preferences and privileges of the Preferred Shares. Without limiting any other provision of this Certificate of Designations, without the prior express consent of the Required Holders, voting separately as a single class, the Company shall not hereafter authorize or issue any additional or other shares of capital stock that is (i) of senior rank to the Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company (collectively, the "**Senior Preferred Stock**"), (ii) of pari passu rank to the Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company (collectively, the "**Parity Stock**") or (iii) any Junior Stock having a maturity date or any other date requiring redemption or repayment of such shares of Junior Stock that is prior to such date no Preferred Shares remain outstanding. In the event of the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, the Preferred Shares shall maintain their relative rights, powers, designations, privileges and preferences provided for herein and no such merger or consolidation shall result inconsistent therewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Dividends</u>. The holders of the Preferred Shares shall receive no dividends (each, a "**Holder**" and collectively, the "**Holders**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Conversion</u>. At any time after the Initial Issuance Date and prior to the applicable Conversion Maturity Date, each Preferred Share shall be convertible into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (the "**Conversion Shares**"), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this <u>Section 4</u>. The "**Conversion Maturity Date**" means the applicable date of such Preferred Shares for such Holder as set forth on the Schedule of Holders attached to the Exchange Agreement.

&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>Holder's Conversion Right</u>. Subject to the provisions of <u>Section 4(f)</u>, at any time or times on or after the Initial Issuance Date, each Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding Preferred Shares held by such Holder into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Conversion Shares in accordance with <u>Section 4(c)</u> at the Conversion Rate (as defined below). The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent (as defined below)) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Conversion Shares upon conversion of any Preferred Shares.

&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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but consistent with the provisions of this subsection with respect to fractional Conversion Shares, nothing shall prevent any Holder from converting fractional Preferred Shares.

&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>Conversion Shares</u>. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of any Preferred Share pursuant to <u>Section 4(a)</u> shall be determined by dividing (x) the Stated Value thereof by (y) the lower of the two Closing Bid Prices of the Common Stock in the two days prior the time of such conversion (as such Closing Bid Price is defined in <u>Section 30</u> herein), but in any event not less than **<u>$0.10</u>** (which shall <u>not</u> be subject to adjustment for stock dividends, subdivisions, or combinations) (the "**Conversion Rate**").

&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>Mechanics of Conversion</u>. The conversion of each Preferred Share shall be conducted in the following manner:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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>Holder's Conversion</u>. To convert a Preferred Share into Conversion Shares on any date (each, a "**Conversion Date**"), a Holder shall deliver to the Company (whether via facsimile or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 4:00 p.m., New York time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as **<u>Exhibit I</u>** (the "**Conversion Notice**"). All Conversion Notices received after 4:00 p.m., New York time, on any Trading Day or at any time on a day that is not a Trading Day shall be considered to have been provided as of the next Trading Day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) <u>Company's Response</u>. Not later than the first (1st) Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by email an acknowledgment of confirmation, in the form attached hereto as **<u>Exhibit II</u>**, of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such Holder and the Company's transfer agent (the "**Transfer Agent**"), which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein. On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date of receipt by the Company of such Conversion Notice (the "**Required Credit Date**"), the Company shall credit such aggregate number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such conversion to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with The Depository Trust Company ("**DTC**") through its Deposit/ Withdrawal at Custodian system.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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>Record Holder</u>. Upon delivery of a Conversion Notice, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Conversion Shares with respect to which such Conversion Notice was issued, irrespective of the date such Conversion Shares are credited to the Holder's DTC account.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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>Company's Failure to Timely Convert</u>. If the Company fails to issue and credit to the Holder by the Required Credit Date the balance account of Holder or Holder's nominee with DTC for such number of Conversion Shares so delivered to the Company, then, in addition to all other remedies available to Holder, at the sole discretion of Holder, the Company shall pay in cash to Holder on each Trading Day after the Required Credit Date that the issuance or credit of such Conversion Shares is not timely effected an amount equal to 1% of the product of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock not so delivered or credited (as the case may be) to Holder or Holder's nominee multiplied by (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Required Credit Date.

To the extent permitted by law, the Company's obligations to issue and credit the Conversion Shares 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 that might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of the Conversion Shares. Nothing herein 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 issue and credit the Conversion Shares 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) <u>Disputes</u>. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Conversion Rate or the arithmetic calculation of the number of Conversion Shares to be issued pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Conversion Shares that are not disputed, provided that following such issuance to Holder such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with <u>Section 22</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;(vi) <u>Book-Entry</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this <u>Section 4</u>, upon conversion of any portion of Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, no Holder thereof shall be required to physically surrender such Preferred Shares to the Company. If a Holder surrenders a portion of such Holder's Preferred Shares as provided by <u>Section 17</u>, then the Company shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after receipt of such Preferred Shares and at its own expense, issue and deliver to such Holder (or its designee) new Preferred Shares (in accordance with <u>Section 17(d)</u>) representing the remaining Preferred Shares after such surrender. Each Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Preferred Shares so converted by such Holder and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to such Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of Preferred Shares upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of such Holder establishing the remaining amount of Preferred Shares to which the record holder is entitled shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. A Holder and any transferee or assignee, by acceptance of a certificate, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of any Preferred Shares, the outstanding Preferred Shares represented by any certificate may be less than stated on the face thereof. Each certificate for Preferred Shares shall bear the following legend:

**ANY TRANSFEREE SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS OF THE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS, PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS OF SERIES G CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK, INCLUDING <u>SECTIONS 4(c)(vi)</u> AND <u>17(a)</u> THEREOF. THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE AND, ACCORDINGLY, THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION HEREOF MAY BE LESS THAN THE AMOUNT SET FORTH ON THE FACE HEREOF PURSUANT TO <u>SECTION 4(c)(vi)</u> OF THE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS.**

&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>Taxes</u>. The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp, transfer (but only in respect of the registered holder thereof), issuance and other similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Conversion Shares upon the conversion of Preferred Shares.

&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>Limitations on Beneficial Ownership</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Certificate of Designations, Preferred Shares shall not be convertible or exchangeable by a Holder thereof to the extent (but only to the extent), after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, such Holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 9.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, as calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act (the "**Maximum Percentage**"). To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether Preferred Shares shall be convertible or exchangeable (vis-à-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates) and of which such securities shall be convertible, exercisable or exchangeable (as among all such securities owned by the Holder) shall, subject to such Maximum Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to the Company for conversion, exercise or exchange (as the case may be). No prior inability to convert or exchange Preferred Shares pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility or exchangeability. For the purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this paragraph to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder of Preferred Shares. The holders of Common Stock shall be third party beneficiaries of this paragraph and the Company may not waive this paragraph without the consent of holders of a majority of its Common Stock. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two (2) Business Days confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion or exercise or exchange of convertible or exercisable or exchangeable securities into Common Stock, including, without limitation, pursuant to this Certificate of Designations or securities issued pursuant to the Exchange Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;22. <u>Dispute Resolution</u>.

If any provision of this Certificate of Designations is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Certificate of Designations so long as this Certificate of Designations as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

If a Holder shall ever receive, charge, or contract for, as interest, an amount which is unlawful, at Holder's election, the amount of unlawful interest shall be refunded to the Company (if actually paid) or applied to reduce the then unpaid Conversion Amount.

The Company shall be responsible for the payment of any placement agent's fees, financial advisory fees, transfer agent fees, DTC fees or broker's commissions, relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall pay, and hold each Holder harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection with any claim relating to any such payment. Except as otherwise set forth in the Transaction Documents, each party to this Agreement shall bear its own expenses in connection with the sale of the New Securities to each Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Pledge of Securities</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company acknowledges and agrees that the New Securities may be pledged by each Holder in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the New Securities. The pledge of New Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the New Securities hereunder, and each Holder effecting a pledge of New Securities shall not be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Exchange Document. At each Holder's expense, the Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the New Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the New Securities to such pledgee by each Holder *<u>provided</u>* that the Company shall be under no obligation to deliver any legal opinion required in connection therewith unless required by the Company's transfer agent to be issued by the Company's legal counsel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) <u>Disclosure of Transactions and Other Material Information</u>. The Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K describing all the material terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents in the form required by the 1934 Act and attach all the material Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, this Agreement and the form of the Warrants) (including all attachments, the "**Form 8-K Filing**"). From and after the date of the Form 8-K Filing, the Company shall have disclosed all material, non-public information (if any) delivered to each Holder by the Company, or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Documents. The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its officers, directors, employees and agents not to, provide each Holder with any material, non-public information regarding the Company from and after the date of the Form 8-K Filing without the express prior written consent of such Holder. Subject to the foregoing, neither the Company nor any Holder shall issue any press releases or any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; *<u>provided</u>*, *<u>however</u>*, the Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of each Holder, to make any press release or other public disclosure with respect to such transactions (i) in substantial conformity with the Form 8-K Filing and contemporaneously therewith and (ii) as is required by applicable law and regulations (*<u>provided</u>* that in the case of clause (i) such Holder shall be consulted by the Company in connection with any such press release or other public disclosure prior to its release). Without the prior written consent of each Holder, the Company shall not (and shall cause each of its affiliates to not) disclose the name of such Holder in any filing (other than the Form 8-K Filing or any filing that incorporates language from the Form 8-K Filing and other than the Registration Statement and other than as required by applicable law or rules and regulations), announcement, release or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary and without implication that the contrary would otherwise be true, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that each Holder has not had, and such Holder shall not have (unless expressly agreed to by such Holder after the date hereof in a written definitive and binding agreement executed by the Company and such Holder), any duty of confidentiality with respect to, or a duty not to trade on the basis of, any information regarding the Company or any of its subsidiaries (as applicable) that such Holder receives from the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any of its or its officers, directors, employees, shareholders or agents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) <u>Additional Registration Statements</u>. Except with respect to any registration statement registering shares of Common Stock by the Company issuable upon conversion or exercise of Convertible Securities issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreements, until the Applicable Date (as defined below), the Company shall not file a registration statement under the 1933 Act relating to securities that are not the Registrable Securities. "**Applicable Date**" means the 30th day anniversary of the first date on which the resale by the Holders of all Registrable Securities is covered by one or more effective Registration Statements (as defined in each Registration Rights Agreement) (and each prospectus contained therein is available for use on such date). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this <u>Section 5(h)</u> shall be of no further force or effect in the event that the failure to register the Registrable Securities is primarily due to information related to any Holder and/or actions or events within the reasonable control of any Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) <u>Additional Issuance of Securities</u>. The Company agrees that as long as any of the Preferred Shares remain outstanding, the Company shall not directly or indirectly issue, offer, sell, grant any option or right to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any issuance, offer, sale, grant of any option or right to purchase or other disposition of) any equity security or any equity-linked or related security (including, without limitation, any "equity security" (as that term is defined under Rule 405 promulgated under the 1933 Act), any Convertible Securities, debt (with or related to equity), any preferred stock or any purchase rights) ("**Additional Issuance**"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this <u>Section 5(i)</u> shall not apply in respect of the following: (i) issuances pursuant to acquisitions, joint ventures, license arrangements, leasing arrangements and similar transaction arrangements; (ii) an issuance of shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion or exercise of Convertible Securities issued prior to the date hereof or Convertible Securities that may be issued pursuant to an agreement in effect as of the date hereof; *<u>provided</u>* that definitive terms of such Convertible Securities (whether such Convertible Securities have been issued or will be issued) have been disclosed in the SEC Documents; and, *<u>provided</u> <u>further</u>* that the conversion or exercise (as the case may be) of any such Convertible Security is made solely pursuant to the conversion or exercise (as the case may be) provisions of such Convertible Security that were in effect (or disclosed in the SEC Documents) on the date immediately prior to the date of this Agreement, the conversion or exercise price of any such Convertible Securities is not lowered, none of such Convertible Securities are (nor is any provision of any such Convertible Securities) amended or waived in any manner (whether by the Company or the holder thereof) to increase the number of shares issuable thereunder and none of the terms or conditions of any such Convertible Securities are otherwise materially changed or waived (whether by the Company or the holder thereof) in any manner that adversely affects any Holder; (iii) the issuance of securities to employees, directors and other third parties under an Approved Share Plan; *<u>provided</u>* that provisions of such Approved Share Plan that were in effect on the date immediately prior to the date of this Agreement, remain in effect without amendment in any manner that adversely affects any Holder, including any amendment to increase the number of shares issuable thereunder, and (iv) the issuance of the Preferred Shares and the New Conversion Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) <u>Reservation of Shares</u>. As long as any of the Preferred Shares remain outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of issuance, no less than **250%** of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares (Preferred Shares are converted in full and without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Preferred Shares set forth in the applicable Certificate of Designations).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) <u>Conduct of Business</u>. The business of the Company shall not be conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental entity, except where such violations would not result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) <u>Passive Foreign Investment Company</u>. The Company shall conduct its business in such a manner as will ensure that the Company will not be deemed to constitute a passive foreign investment company within the meaning of Section 1297 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) <u>Corporate Existence</u>. So long as any Holder owns any Preferred Shares, the Company shall not be party to any Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Certificates of Designation) unless the Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Transactions set forth in the Preferred Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n) <u>Due Diligence</u>. Each Holder shall have the right, from time to time as such Holder may reasonably deem appropriate, to perform reasonable due diligence on the Company during normal business hours and subject to reasonable prior notice to the Company. The Company and its officers and employees shall provide information ("**Confidential Information**") and reasonably cooperate with such Holder in connection with such Holder's due diligence; *<u>provided</u>*, *<u>however</u>*, that at no time is the Company required or permitted to disclose material nonpublic information to such Holder or breach any obligation of confidentiality or non-disclosure to a third party or make any disclosure that could cause a waiver of attorney-client privilege. Except as may be required by law, court order or governmental authority, each party hereto agrees not to disclose any Confidential Information of the other party to any third party and shall not use the Confidential Information of such other party for any purpose other than in connection with, or in furtherance of, the transactions contemplated hereby. In the event a party is required by law, court order or governmental authority to disclose the Confidential Information of the other party, such party shall give the other party written notice of the information to be disclosed as far in advance of its disclosure as practicable and shall reasonably cooperate with the other party's efforts, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded such information. Each party hereto acknowledges that the Confidential Information shall remain the property of the disclosing party and agrees that it shall take all reasonable measures to protect the secrecy of any Confidential Information disclosed by the other party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(o) <u>Holding Period</u>. For the purposes of Rule 144(d)(1), the Company acknowledges that each Exchange Note or Exchange Warrant, as applicable, was acquired on the Original Issuance Date of such Exchange Note or Exchange Warrant. For the purposes of Rule 144(d)(3), the Company acknowledges that the Preferred Shares (and, upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, the New Conversion Shares) shall be deemed to have been acquired on the Original Issuance Date of the applicable Exchange Note or Exchange Warrant that was exchanged for such Preferred Shares pursuant to this Agreement. The Company agrees not to take a position contrary to this <u>Section 5(o)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(p) <u>No Preferred Stock or Indebtedness</u>. While the Preferred Shares remain outstanding, the Company shall not, without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of each of a majority of the then outstanding Preferred Shares, authorize or issue, or obligate itself to issue, any equity security (including any other security convertible into or exercisable for any such equity security) having a preference over or parity with the Preferred Shares with respect to dividends, liquidation or redemption or having a preference over the Common Stock with respect to dividends, liquidation or redemption. The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to not, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.** **REGISTER; TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS; LEGEND.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Register</u>. The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to each holder of New Securities), a register for the Preferred Shares in which the Company shall record the name and address of the Person in whose name the Preferred Shares have been issued (including the name and address of each transferee) reflecting the number of Preferred Shares held by such Person. The Company shall keep the register open and available at all times during business hours for inspection by each Holder or its legal representatives.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Transfer Agent Instructions</u>. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent and any subsequent transfer agent in a form acceptable to each Holder to issue certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at The Depository Trust Company ("**DTC**"), registered in the name of such Holder or its respective nominee(s), for the New Conversion Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by such Holder to the Company, and confirmed by the Company, upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares. The Company represents and warrants that no instruction other than such irrevocable transfer agent instructions referred to in this <u>Section 6(b)</u>, and stop transfer instructions to give effect to <u>Section 3(i)</u> hereof, will be given by the Company to its transfer agent with respect to the New Securities, and that the New Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company, as applicable, to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Exchange Documents. If any Holder effects a sale, assignment or transfer of the New Securities in accordance with <u>Section 3(i)</u>, the Company shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Holder to effect such sale, transfer or assignment. In the event that such sale, assignment or transfer involves New Conversion Shares sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance with Rule 144 or another exemption from registration, the transfer agent shall issue such shares to such Holder, assignee or transferee (as the case may be) without any restrictive legend in accordance with <u>Section 6(d)</u> below. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to each Holder. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this <u>Section 6(b)</u> will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this <u>Section 6(b)</u>, that each Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall cause its counsel to issue the legal opinion referred to in the irrevocable transfer agent instructions to the Company's transfer agent on the Closing Date (as defined in each Registration Rights Agreement). Any fees (with respect to the transfer agent, counsel to the Company or otherwise) associated with the issuance of such opinion or the removal of any legends on any of the New Securities shall be borne by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Legends</u>. Each Holder understands that the New Securities have been issued (or will be issued in the case of the New Conversion Shares) pursuant to an exemption from registration or qualification under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and except as set forth below, the New Securities shall bear any legend as required by the "blue sky" laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):

[NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE CONVERTIBLE HAVE BEEN][THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN] REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER (IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY), IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD OR ELIGIBLE TO BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Removal of Legends</u>. Certificates and/or book entries evidencing New Securities shall not be required to contain the legend set forth in <u>Section 6(c)</u> above or any other legend (i) while a registration statement (including a Registration Statement) covering the resale of such New Securities is effective under the 1933 Act (provided that each Holder provides the Company with any certificates from such Holder or its broker reasonably required by the Company's transfer agent), (ii) following any sale of such New Securities pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferor is not an affiliate of the Company) or a registration statement, (iii) if such New Securities are eligible to be sold, assigned or transferred under Rule 144 without current public information being available and without volume and manner of sale limitations (provided that each Holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such New Securities are eligible for sale, assignment or transfer under Rule 144, which shall not include an opinion of counsel, but which may include any certificates from such Holder or its broker reasonably required by the Company's transfer agent), (iv) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer (other than under Rule 144), *<u>provided</u>* that each Holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel to such Holder from reputable counsel to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the New Securities may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act or (v) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the 1933 Act (including, without limitation, controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the SEC). If a legend is not required pursuant to the foregoing, the Company shall no later than one (1) Trading Day following the delivery by any Holder to the Company or the transfer agent (with notice to the Company) of a legended certificate representing such New Securities (endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer, if applicable), together with any other deliveries from such Holder as may be required above in this <u>Section 6(d)</u>, as directed by such Holder, credit the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which each Holder shall be entitled to such Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system (the date by which such credit is so required to be made to the balance account of such Holder's or Holder's nominee with DTC is referred to herein as the "**Required Delivery Date**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Failure to Timely Deliver; Buy-In</u>. If the Company fails to issue and credit the balance account of such Holder's or Holder's nominee with DTC for such number of New Securities so delivered to the Company by the Required Delivery Date, then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Holder, at the sole discretion of such Holder, the Company shall pay in cash to such Holder on each Trading Day after the Required Delivery Date that the issuance or credit of such shares is not timely effected an amount equal to 1% of the product of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock not so delivered or credited (as the case may be) to such Holder or Holder's nominee multiplied by (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Required Delivery Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Manner of Sale</u>. Each Holder, severally and not jointly with the other Holders, agrees with the Company that such Holder will sell any New Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the 1933 Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing New Securities as set forth in this <u>Section 6</u> is predicated upon the Company's reliance upon this understanding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.** **CONDITIONS TO THE COMPANY'S OBLIGATION TO EXCHANGE.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The obligation of the Company hereunder to issue Preferred Shares in exchange for the Exchange Notes and Exchange Warrants with each Holder at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, at or before the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions, *<u>provided</u>* that these conditions are for the Company's sole benefit and may be waived by the Company at any time in its sole discretion by providing each Holder with prior written notice thereof:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) The representations and warranties of each Holder shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date when made and as of the Closing Date as though originally made at that time (except for representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date, which shall be true and correct as of such date), and such Holder shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by such Holder at or prior to the Closing Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.** **CONDITIONS TO EACH HOLDER'S OBLIGATION TO EXCHANGE.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The obligation of each Holder hereunder to exchange its Exchange Notes and Exchange Warrants for the Preferred Shares at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, at or before the Closing Date and in respect of each such Closing Date, of each of the following conditions, *<u>provided</u>* that these conditions are for each Holder's sole benefit and may be waived by such Holder at any time in its sole discretion by providing the Company with prior written notice thereof:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Company shall have duly executed and delivered to each Holder each of the Exchange Documents to which the Company is a party and the Company shall have duly executed and delivered to such Holder the Preferred Shares as is set forth on the applicable Holder Schedule and the Company shall have complied in all material respects with all obligations under this Agreement and the other Exchange Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Each and every representation and warranty of the Company shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date when made and as of the Closing Date as though originally made at that time (except for representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date, which shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date) and the Company shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions required to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Company at or prior to the Closing Date. Each Holder shall have received a certificate, executed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, dated as of the Closing Date, (i) to the foregoing effect and (ii) verifying the accuracy of <u>Section 8(ii)</u> herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) The Common Stock (A) shall be designated for quotation on the Principal Market; (B) shall not have been suspended, as of the Closing Date, by the SEC or the Principal Market from trading on the Principal Market; and (C) except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, the Company is in compliance with all requirements in order to maintain quotation on the Principal Market (including reporting requirements under the 1934 Act).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) All reports, schedules, registrations, forms, statements, information and other documents required to have been filed by the Company with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act, including all material required to have been filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the 1934 Act, shall have been filed with the SEC under the 1934 Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) The Company shall have obtained all governmental, regulatory or third party consents and approvals, if any, necessary for the sale of the New Securities, including without limitation, those required by the Principal Market.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) No statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, ruling or injunction shall have been enacted, entered, promulgated or endorsed by any court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction that prohibits the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Documents, and no actions, suits or proceedings shall be pending by any governmental authority that seeks to enjoin, prohibit or otherwise adversely affect any of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) Since the date of execution of this Agreement, no event or series of events shall have occurred that reasonably would have or result in a Material Adverse Effect and the Company has not filed for nor is it subject to any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors instituted by or against the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) The Company shall have delivered to each Holder such other documents, instruments or certificates relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement reasonably required to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.** **TERMINATION.** 

In the event that any condition in <u>Section 9</u> has not been met or the Closing has not occurred for a period of ten (10) Business Days or longer, then each Holder shall have the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement at any time on or after the close of business on such date without liability to any other party; *<u>provided</u>*, *<u>however</u>*, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this <u>Section 9</u> shall not be available to such Holder if the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to have been consummated by such date is the result of such Holder's breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, nothing contained in this <u>Section 9</u> shall be deemed to release any party hereto from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the other Exchange Documents or to impair the right of any party hereto to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Exchange Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.** **MISCELLANEOUS.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial</u>. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents or in connection herewith or therewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or discussed herein or therein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude any Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company's obligations to such Holder or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of such Holder. **EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Counterparts</u>. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party hereto and delivered to the other party. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page, such signature page 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Headings; Gender</u>. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms "including," "includes," "include" and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words "without limitation." The terms "herein," "hereunder," "hereof" and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Severability</u>. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties hereto as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties hereto or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties hereto. The parties hereto will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Entire Agreement; Amendments</u>. This Agreement, the other Exchange Documents and the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Holders, the Company, its affiliates and Persons acting on its behalf solely with respect to the matters contained herein and therein, and this Agreement, the other Exchange Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties hereto solely with respect to the matters covered herein and therein. Except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor any Holder makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. For clarification purposes, the Recitals are part of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and each Holder. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) <u>Indemnification</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) In consideration of each Holder's execution and delivery of the Exchange Documents and acquiring the New Securities thereunder and in addition to all of the Company's other obligations under the Exchange Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless such Holder and each holder of any New Securities and all of their shareholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons' agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the "**Indemnitees**") from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and reasonable and documented expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements (the "**Indemnified Liabilities**"), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (A) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in any of the Exchange Documents, (B) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in any of the Exchange Documents or (C) any cause of action, suit, proceeding or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company, but other than by an affiliate of any Holder) or which otherwise involves such Indemnitee that arises out of or results from (I) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of any of the Exchange Documents, (II) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the New Securities, (III) any disclosure properly made by any Holder pursuant to <u>Section 5(g)</u>, or (IV) the status of any Holder or holder of the New Securities either as an investor in the Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Documents or as a party to this Agreement (including, without limitation, as a party in interest or otherwise in any action or proceeding for injunctive or other equitable relief), unless such action is based primarily upon a breach of such Holder's representations, warranties, or covenants under the Exchange Documents, or any agreements or understandings such Holder may have with any such third party, or any violations by such Holder of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Holder which constitutes fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee under this <u>Section 10(k)</u> of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this <u>Section 10(k)</u>, deliver to the Company a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the Company shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the Company so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the Company and the Indemnitee; *<u>provided</u>*, *<u>however</u>*, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the Company if: (i) the Company has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the Company shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Indemnified Liability and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee in any such Indemnified Liability; or (iii) the named parties to any such Indemnified Liability (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnitee and the Company, and such Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnitee and the Company (in which case, if such Indemnitee notifies the Company in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Company, then the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall

be at the expense of the Company), *<u>provided</u> <u>further</u>*, that in the case of <u>clause (iii)</u> above the Company shall not be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one (1) separate legal counsel for such Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Indemnified Liability by the Company and shall furnish to the Company all information reasonably available to the Indemnitee which relates to such action or Indemnified Liability. The Company shall keep the Indemnitee reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, *<u>provided</u>*, *<u>however</u>*, that the Company shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such Indemnified Liability or litigation, and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnitee. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the Company shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the Company within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the Company of any liability to the Indemnitee under this <u>Section 10(k)</u>, except to the extent that the Company is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) The indemnification required by this <u>Section 10(k)</u> 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 Indemnified Liabilities are incurred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, the aggregate indemnification obligations of the Company pursuant to this <u>Section 10(k)</u> shall not exceed 100% of the aggregate Purchase Price actually paid by the Holders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) The sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement hereunder shall be the indemnification provided by this <u>Section 10(k)</u>, and each Holder expressly waives any other rights or remedies it may have; *<u>provided</u> <u>however</u>*, that equitable relief, including remedies of specific performance and injunction, shall be available with respect to any matter where money damages would not be sufficient to compensate any Holder or to preserve the rights of such Holder pending resolution of a dispute, and this <u>Section 10(k)</u> shall not relieve the Company from liability for willful misconduct, gross negligence, bad faith, fraud or willful breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) <u>Construction</u>. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. No specific representation or warranty shall limit the generality or applicability of a more general representation or warranty. Each and every reference to share prices, Common Stock and any other numbers in this Agreement that relate to the Common Stock shall be automatically adjusted for stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations and other similar transactions that occur with respect to the Common Stock after the date of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) <u>Remedies</u>. Each Holder and each holder of any New Securities shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Exchange Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security, to the extent permitted by law), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, the Company recognizes that in the event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to each Holder. The Company therefore agrees that each Holder shall be entitled to seek specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n) <u>Exercise of Right</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Exchange Documents, whenever any Holder exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Exchange Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Holder may continue to exercise its other rights, elections, demands and options hereunder and under any other Exchange Document from time to time as if such original right, election, demand or option had not been exercised without prejudice to its future actions and rights and remedies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(o) <u>Payment Set Aside; Currency</u>. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to such Holder hereunder or pursuant to any other Exchange Document or any Holder enforces or exercises its rights hereunder or 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, foreign, 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. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement and the other Exchange Documents are in United States Dollars ("**U.S. Dollars**"), and all amounts owing under this Agreement and all other Exchange Documents shall be paid in U.S. Dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies (if any) shall be converted into the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount in accordance with the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation. "**Exchange Rate**" means, in relation to any amount of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant to this Agreement, the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the relevant date of calculation.

**Bollinger Innovations Strengthens Balance Sheet by<br> Eliminating all Warrants and $25.3 Million of Convertible Notes**

**Company increases shareholder equity by approximately $133 million**

**Company expects shareholder equity to exceed Nasdaq listing requirements**

BREA, Calif., July 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN – <u>Bollinger Innovations, Inc</u>. (<u>NASDAQ: BINI</u>) ("Bollinger Innovations" or the "Company"), an electric vehicle ("EV") manufacturer, announces today that the Company has eliminated all warrants and $25.3 million of convertible notes, strengthening its balance sheet. The Company entered into agreements with existing noteholders to exchange convertible notes and warrants into newly created preferred stock.
