	 	2.2	“Affiliate” means a corporation or other entity controlled by, controlling or under common control with, the Company, or an entity that is otherwise closely connected to the Company, as determined by the Committee.

	 	2.5	“Board” shall mean the board of directors of the Company.

 
									
	 	2.6	“Cause” shall have the following meaning:

 
									
	 	(a)	When used in connection with a Qualifying Termination occurring during a Participant’s Protection Period, the same meaning as set forth in Section 2.1(f)(2) of the ESP, with the term “Participant” replacing the term “Covered Executive” as used therein.

 
									
	 	(b)	When used in connection with a Qualifying Termination not occurring during a Participant’s Protection Period:

 
									
	 	(i)	For any Participant who is a “Covered Executive” under the ESP, the same meaning as set forth in Section 2.1(f)(1) of the ESP, with the term “Participant” replacing the term “Covered Executive” as used therein.

 
									
	 	(ii)	For any Participant who is not a “Covered Executive” under the ESP, “Cause” shall mean a Participant’s:

 
									
	 	(A)	dishonesty;

 
									
	 	(B)	fraud;

	 	2.7	“Change in Control” shall means the occurrence of one of the following:

 
									
	 	(a)	A “change in the ownership of the Company” which will occur on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, acquires, directly or indirectly, whether in a single transaction or series of related transactions, ownership of stock in the Company that, together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company (“Ownership Control”). However, if any one person or more than one person acting as a group, has previously acquired ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company, the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or persons will not be considered a “change in the ownership of the Company” (or to cause a “change in the effective control of the Company” within the meaning of Section 2.7(b) below). Further, an increase in the effective percentage of stock owned by any one person, or persons acting as a group, as a result of a transaction in which the Company acquires its stock in exchange for cash or property will be treated as an acquisition of stock for purposes of this paragraph; provided, that for purposes of this Section 2.7(a), the following acquisitions of Company stock will not constitute a Change of Control:

 
									
	 	(i)	any acquisition, whether in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or an Affiliate which results in such employee benefit plan obtaining “Ownership Control” of the Company;

 
									
	 	(ii)	any acquisition, whether in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Company which results in the Company acquiring stock of the Company representing “Ownership Control”; or

 
									
	 	(iii)	any acquisition, whether in a single transaction or series of related transactions, after which those persons who were owners of the Company’s stock immediately before such transaction(s) own more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company (or if after the consummation of such transaction(s) the Company (or another entity into which the Company is merged into or otherwise combined, such the Company does not survive such transaction(s)) is a direct or indirect subsidiary of another entity which itself is not a subsidiary of an entity, then the more than fifty percent (50%) ownership test shall be applied to the voting securities of such other entity) in substantially the same percentages as their respective ownership of the Company immediately before such transaction(s).

 
2

									
	 	  	This Section 2.7(a) applies either when there is a transfer of the stock of the Company (or issuance of stock) and stock in the Company remains outstanding after the transaction or when there is a transfer of the stock of the Company (including a merger or similar transaction) and stock in the Company does not remain outstanding after the transaction.

 
									
	 	(b)	A “change in the effective control of the Company” which will occur on the date that either (i) or (ii) occurs:

 
									
	 	(i)	any one person, or more than one person acting as a group within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, acquires (taking into consideration any prior acquisitions during the twelve (12) month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons), directly or indirectly, ownership of stock of the Company possessing thirty-five percent (35%) or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Company (not considering stock owned by such person or group before such twelve (12) month period) (i.e., such person or group must acquire within a twelve (12) month period stock possessing at least thirty-five percent (35%) of the total voting power of the stock of the Company) (“Effective Control”), except for (A) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or an Affiliate which results in such employee benefit plan obtaining “Effective Control” of the Company or (B) any acquisition by the Company. The occurrence of “Effective Control” under this Section 2.7(b)(i) may be nullified by a vote of that number of the members of the Board, that exceeds two-thirds (2/3) of the independent members of the Board, which vote must occur before the time, if any, that a “change in the effective control of the Company” has occurred under Section 2.7(b)(ii) below. In the event of such a supermajority vote, such transaction or series of related transactions shall not be treated as an event constituting “Effective Control.” For avoidance of doubt, the Plan provides that in the event of the occurrence of the acquisition of ownership of stock of the Company that reaches or exceeds the thirty-five percent (35%) ownership threshold described above, if more than two-thirds (2/3) of the independent members of the Board take action to resolve that such an acquisition is not a “change in the effective control of the Company” and a majority of the members of the Board have not been replaced as provided under Section 2.7(b)(ii) below, then such Board action shall be final and no “Effective Control” shall be deemed to have occurred for any purpose under the Plan

									
	 	(ii)	a majority of the members of the Board are replaced during any twelve (12) month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board before the date of the appointment or election.

 
									
	 	  	For purposes of a “change in the effective control of the Company,” if any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, is considered to effectively control the Company within the meaning of this Section 2.7(b), the acquisition of additional control of the Company by the same person or persons is not considered a “change in the effective control of the Company,” or to cause a “change in the ownership of the Company” within the meaning of Section 2.7(a) above.

 
									
	 	(c)	A sale, exchange, lease, disposition or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

 
									
	 	(d)	A liquidation or dissolution of the Company that is approved by a majority of the Company’s stockholders.

 
									
	 	2.8	“Code” shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, and any successor statute and the regulations promulgated thereunder, as it or they may be amended from time to time.

	 	(b)	When used in connection with a Qualifying Termination not occurring during a Participant’s Protection Period, for any Participant who is a “Covered Executive” under the ESP, the same meaning as set forth in Section 2.1(x)(1) of the ESP. For the avoidance of doubt, a Participant who is not a “Covered Executive” under the ESP shall not be eligible to claim “Good Reason” hereunder with regard to any termination of employment occurring outside a Participant’s Protection Period.

	 	(a)	Subject to any adjustments provided for in Section 12.2 and the permitted addbacks provided for in Section 3.1(b), the aggregate number of Shares authorized for issuance under the Plan shall be equal to the sum of (i) 8,275,000 Shares, plus (ii) the number of Shares remaining available under the 2008 Plan as of the Effective Date, plus (iii) any Shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2008 Plan that on or after the Effective Date are forfeited, are cancelled, expire, or are settled in cash. Any Shares that are subject to Awards of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights shall be counted against this limit as one (1) Share for every one (1) Share issued and any Shares that are subject to Awards other than Options or Stock Appreciation Rights shall be counted against this limit as 1.65 Shares for every one (1) Share issued. Similarly, any Shares that again become available for Awards under the Plan pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(iii) or Section 3.1(b) shall be added to this limit as (i) one (1) Share for every one (1) Share subject to Options or Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan or options or stock appreciation rights granted under any Prior Plan, and (ii) as 1.65 Shares for every one (1) Share subject to Awards other than Options or Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan or awards other than options or stock appreciation rights granted under the 2008 Plan.

  
 
									
	 	(b)	If (i) any Shares subject to an Award are forfeited, cancelled or expire or (ii) an Award is settled for cash (in whole or in part), the Shares subject to such Award shall, to the extent of such forfeiture, cancellation, expiration or cash settlement, remain available for issuance under the Plan. In the event that withholding tax liabilities arising from an Award other than an Option or Stock Appreciation Right or, after the Effective Date, an award other than an option or stock appreciation right under the 2008 Plan are satisfied by the tendering of Shares (either actually or by attestation) or by the withholding of Shares by the Company, the Shares so tendered or withheld shall be added to the Shares available for Awards under the Plan; provided, however, that Shares that again become available for issuance under the Plan pursuant to the preceding clause shall not increase the numbers of shares that may be granted under the Plan in connection with “incentive stock options” under Section 5.7.

 
									
	 	(c)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the following Shares shall be counted against the limit set forth in Section 3.1(a) and shall not be available for issuance under paragraph (a) of this Section: (A) Shares tendered by the Participant or withheld by the Company in payment of the purchase price of an Option, (B) Shares tendered by the Participant or withheld by the Company to satisfy any tax withholding obligation with respect to an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, (C) Shares subject to a Stock Appreciation Right that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of the Stock Appreciation Right on exercise thereof, and (D) Shares reacquired by the Company on the open market or otherwise using cash proceeds from the exercise of Options.

Additionally, in the event that a company acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary or with which the Company or any Subsidiary combines has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine the consideration payable to the holders of common stock of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the Shares authorized for issuance under the Plan; provided that Awards using such available shares shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were not Employees or Directors prior to such acquisition or combination.

 
									
	 	(e)	No Award may be granted if the number of Shares to be delivered in connection with such Award exceeds the number of Shares remaining available for issuance under this Plan minus the number of Shares issuable in settlement of or related to then-outstanding Awards. The Committee may adopt reasonable counting procedures to ensure appropriate counting, avoid double counting and make adjustments if the number of Shares actually issued differs from the number of Shares previously counted in connection with an Award.

 
									
	 	3.2	Character of Shares. Any Shares issued hereunder may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares, treasury shares or shares purchased in the open market or otherwise.

	 	4.1	Eligibility. Any Employee or Director shall be eligible to be selected by the Committee as a Participant.

 
									
	 	4.2	Administration.

 
									
	 	(a)	The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall have full power and authority, subject to the provisions of the Plan and subject to such orders or resolutions not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan as may from time to time be adopted by the Board, to: (i) select the Employees and Directors to whom Awards may from time to time be granted hereunder; (ii) determine the type or types of Awards, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, to be granted to each Participant hereunder; (iii) determine the number of Shares to be covered by each Award granted hereunder; (iv) determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, of any Award granted hereunder; (v) determine whether, to what extent and under what circumstances, Awards may be settled in cash, Shares or other property; (vi) determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances cash, Shares, other property and other amounts payable with respect to an Award made under the Plan shall be deferred either automatically or at the election of the Participant; (vii) determine whether, to what extent and under what circumstances any Award shall be accelerated, canceled or suspended; (viii) interpret and administer the Plan and any instrument or agreement entered into under or in connection with the Plan, including any Award Agreement; (ix) correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award in the manner and to the extent that the Committee shall deem desirable to carry it into effect; (x) establish such rules and regulations and appoint such agents as it shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan; (xi) determine whether any Award will have the right to dividends; provided, that any such dividend with respect to any Award that has not yet vested shall be subject to the same vesting restrictions as the underlying Award; and (xii) make any other determination and take any other action that the Committee deems necessary or desirable for administration of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the determination of the Directors to whom Awards may be granted, the time(s) at which Awards may be granted to Directors and the number of Shares subject to Awards to Directors (within the limitations set forth in Section 10.3 below) shall be made by the Board.

 
									
	 	(b)	Decisions of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons or entities, including the Company, any Participant, and any Subsidiary.

 
7

									
	 	(c)	To the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange (or such other principal securities exchange on which the Shares are traded), the Committee may delegate to one or more Executive Officers or a committee of Executive Officers the right to grant Awards to Employees who are not Directors or Executive Officers of the Company, the authority to take action on behalf of the Committee pursuant to the Plan to cancel or suspend Awards to Employees who are not Directors or Executive Officers of the Company and the authority to take any of the other actions described in Section 4.2(a).

 
									
	 	(d)	The Committee may appoint the Plan Administrator, who will have the responsibility and duty to administer the Plan on a daily basis. The Committee may remove the Plan Administrator with or without cause at any time. The Plan Administrator will have all the day-to-day responsibilities of administering the Plan but for those duties retained by the Committee as set forth above in Section 4.2(c) and not otherwise delegated to such Plan Administrator.

 
									
	 	4.3	Treatment of Dividends and Dividend Equivalents on Unvested Awards. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, with respect to any Award that provides for or includes a right to dividends or dividend equivalents, if dividends are declared during the period that an equity Award is outstanding, such dividends (or dividend equivalents) shall either (i) not be paid or credited with respect to such Award or (ii) be accumulated but remain subject to vesting requirement(s) to the same extent as the applicable Award and shall only be paid at the time or times such vesting requirement(s) are satisfied.

 
																					
							

						
	5.	OPTIONS

 
									
	 	5.1	Grant of Options. Options may be granted hereunder to Participants either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. Any Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Article and to such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall deem desirable.

 
									
	 	5.2	Award Agreements. All Options granted pursuant to this Article shall be evidenced by a written Award Agreement in such form and containing such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine which are not inconsistent with

 
									
	 	  	the provisions of the Plan. The terms of Options need not be the same with respect to each Participant. Granting an Option pursuant to the Plan shall impose no obligation on the recipient to exercise such Option. Any individual who is granted an Option pursuant to this Article may hold more than one Option granted pursuant to the Plan at the same time.

 
									
	 	5.3	Option Price. Other than in connection with Substitute Awards, the option price per each Share purchasable under any Option granted pursuant to this Article shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of grant of such Option. Other than pursuant to Section 12.2, the Committee shall not without the approval of the Company’s stockholders (a) lower the option price per Share of an Option after it is granted, (b) cancel an Option that is out-of-the money in exchange for cash or another Award, (c) cancel an Option in exchange for another Option with a lower option price, or (d) take any other action with respect to an Option that would be treated as a repricing under the rules and regulations of the principal securities exchange on which the Shares are traded.

 
									
	 	5.4	Option Term. The term of each Option shall be fixed by the Committee in its sole discretion; provided that no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date the Option is granted, except in the event of death or disability (as defined under Company policies).

 
									
	 	5.5	Exercise of Options.

 
8

									
	 	(a)	Vested Options granted under the Plan shall be exercised by the Participant or by a Permitted Assignee thereof (or by the Participant’s executors, administrators, guardian or legal representative, as may be provided in an Award Agreement or in this Plan) as to all or part of the Shares covered thereby, by giving notice of exercise to the Company or its designated agent, specifying the number of Shares to be purchased. The notice of exercise shall be in such form, made in such manner, and in compliance with such other requirements consistent with the provisions of the Plan as the Committee may prescribe from time to time.

 
									
	 	(b)	Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, if an Employee voluntarily resigns his employment with the Company or a Subsidiary, then any vested and exercisable Options will remain exercisable for ninety (90) days thereafter unless by their terms they expire sooner. During said period, such Options may be exercised in accordance with their terms.

 
									
	 	(c)	Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, full payment of such purchase price shall be made at the time of exercise and shall be made (i) in cash or cash equivalents (including certified check or bank check or wire transfer of immediately available funds), (ii) by tendering previously acquired Shares (either actually or by attestation, valued at their then Fair Market Value), (iii) with the consent of the Committee, by delivery of other consideration (including, where permitted by law and the Committee, other Awards) having a Fair Market Value on the exercise date equal to the total purchase price, (iv) with the consent of the Committee, by withholding Shares otherwise issuable in connection with the exercise of the Option, (v) through any other method specified in an Award Agreement (including same-day sales through a broker except by Executive Officers), or (vi) any combination of any of the foregoing. The notice of exercise, accompanied by such payment, shall be delivered to the Company at its principal business office or such other office as the Committee may from time to time direct, and shall be in such form, containing such further provisions consistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee may from time to time prescribe. In no event may any Option granted hereunder be exercised for a fraction of a Share. No adjustment shall be made for cash dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date of actual issuance of the underlying Shares.

 
									
	 	5.6	Form of Settlement. In its sole discretion, the Committee may provide that the Shares to be issued upon an Option’s exercise shall be in the form of Restricted Stock or other similar securities.

 
									
	 	5.7	Incentive Stock Options. The Committee may grant Options intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” as defined in Section 422 of the Code, to any employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, subject to the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. Solely for purposes of determining whether Shares are available for the grant of “incentive stock options” under the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to “incentive stock options” granted under the Plan shall be 8,275,000, subject to adjustments provided for in Section 12.2. Incentive stock options shall not be granted more than ten (10) years after the earlier of the adoption of this Plan or the approval of this Plan by the Company’s stockholders. In addition, the Fair Market Value of Shares subject to an incentive stock option and the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares of any parent corporation or subsidiary corporation (within the meaning of Sections 424(e) and (f) of the Code) subject to any other incentive stock option (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) of the Company or a parent corporation or a subsidiary corporation (within the meaning of Sections 424(e) and (f) of the Code) that first becomes purchasable by a Participant in any calendar year may not (with respect to that Participant) exceed $100,000, or such other amount as may be prescribed under Section 422 of the Code. As used in the previous sentence, Fair Market Value shall be determined as of the date the incentive stock options are granted. Failure to comply with this provision shall not impair the enforceability or exercisability of any Option, but shall cause the excess amount of shares to be reclassified in accordance with the Code.

 
						
	6.	STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

 
									
	 	6.1	Grant and Exercise. The Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights (a) in conjunction with all or part of any Option granted under the Plan or at any subsequent time during the term of such Option, (b) in conjunction with all or part of any Award (other than an Option) granted under the Plan or at any subsequent time during the term of such Award, or (c) without regard to any Option or other Award in each case upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may establish in its sole discretion.

 
									
	 	6.2	Terms and Conditions. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as shall be determined from time to time by the Committee, including the following:

 
9

									
	 	(a)	Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the holder shall have the right to receive the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise (or such amount less than such Fair Market Value as the Committee shall so determine at any time during a specified period before the date of exercise) over (ii) the grant price of the Stock Appreciation Right on the date of grant, which, except in the case of Substitute Awards or in connection with an adjustment provided for in Section 12.2, shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of one Share on such date of grant of the Stock Appreciation Right.

 
									
	 	(b)	The Committee shall determine in its sole discretion whether payment of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be made in cash, in whole Shares, or any combination thereof. No adjustment shall be made for cash dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date of actual issuance of the underlying Shares.

 
									
	 	(c)	The provisions of Stock Appreciation Rights need not be the same with respect to each recipient.

 
									
	 	(d)	The Committee may impose such other conditions or restrictions on the terms of exercise and the grant price of any Stock Appreciation Right, as it shall deem appropriate. A Stock Appreciation Right shall have (i) a grant price not less than Fair Market Value on the date of grant (subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code with respect to a Stock Appreciation Right granted in conjunction with, but subsequent to, an Option), and (ii) a term not greater than ten (10) years except in the event of death or disability (as defined under Company policies).

 
									
	 	(e)	Without the approval of the Company’s stockholders, other than pursuant to Section 12.2, the Committee shall not (i) reduce the grant price of any Stock Appreciation Right after the date of grant, (ii) cancel any Stock Appreciation Right that is out-of-the-money in exchange for cash or another Award, (iii) cancel any Stock Appreciation Right in exchange for another Stock Appreciation Right with a lower grant price, or (iv) take any other action with respect to a Stock Appreciation Right that would be treated as a repricing under the rules and regulations of the principal securities market on which the Shares are traded.

 
									
	 	(f)	The Committee may impose such other terms and conditions on Stock Appreciation Rights granted in conjunction with any Award as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion.

 
						
	7.	RESTRICTED STOCK AND RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

 
									
	 	7.1	Grants. Awards of Restricted Stock and of Restricted Stock Units may be issued hereunder to Participants either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan (a “Restricted Stock Award” or “Restricted Stock Unit Award” respectively), and such Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Unit Awards shall also be available as a form of payment of Performance Awards and other earned cash-based incentive compensation. A Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be subject to vesting restrictions imposed by the Committee covering a period of time specified by the Committee (the “Vesting Period”). The Committee has absolute discretion to determine whether any consideration (other than services) is to be received by the Company or any Subsidiary as a condition precedent to the issuance of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units.

 
									
	 	7.2	Award Agreements. The terms of any Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award granted under the Plan shall be set forth in a written Award Agreement which shall contain provisions determined by the Committee and not inconsistent with the Plan. The terms of Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Unit Awards need not be the same with respect to each Participant.

 
									
	 	7.3	Rights of Holders of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, beginning on the date of grant of the Restricted Stock Award and subject to acceptance of the Award Agreement, the Participant shall become a stockholder of the Company with respect to all Shares subject to the Award Agreement and shall have all of the rights of a stockholder, including the right to vote such Shares and the right to receive distributions made with respect to such Shares. A Participant receiving a Restricted Stock Unit Award shall not possess voting rights with respect to such Award. Any Shares or any other property distributed as a dividend with respect to any Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award as to which the restrictions have not yet lapsed shall be subject to the same restrictions as such Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award.

 
10

									
	 	7.4	Issuance of Shares. Any Restricted Stock granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee may deem appropriate, including book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates, which certificate or certificates shall be held by the Company. Such certificate or certificates shall be registered in the name of the Participant and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock.

 
						
	8.	OTHER SHARE-BASED AWARDS

 
									
	 	8.1	Grants. Other Awards of Shares and other Awards that are valued by reference to, or are otherwise based on, Shares (“Other Share-Based Awards”) may be granted hereunder to Participants either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. Other Share-Based Awards shall also be available as a form of payment of other Awards granted under the Plan and other earned cash-based compensation.

 
									
	 	8.2	Award Agreements. The terms of Other Share-Based Award granted under the Plan shall be set forth in a written Award Agreement which shall contain provisions determined by the Committee and not inconsistent with the Plan. The terms of such Awards need not be the same with respect to each Participant.

 
									
	 	8.3	Payment. Except as may be provided in an Award Agreement, Other Share-Based Awards may be paid in cash, Shares, or any combination thereof, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. Other Share-Based Awards may be paid in a lump sum or in installments or, in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, on a deferred basis subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

 
						
	9.	PERFORMANCE AWARDS

 
									
	 	9.1	Grants. Performance Awards in the form of Performance Cash or Performance Share Units, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, may be granted hereunder to Participants, for no consideration or for such minimum consideration as may be required by applicable law, either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. The Performance Criteria to be achieved for each Performance Period shall be conclusively determined by the Committee and may be based upon the criteria set forth in Section 10.1.

 
									
	 	9.2	Award Agreements. The terms of any Performance Award granted under the Plan shall be set forth in a written Award Agreement which shall contain provisions determined by the Committee and not inconsistent with the Plan. The terms of Performance Awards need not be the same with respect to each Participant.

 
									
	 	9.3	Terms and Conditions. The Performance Criteria to be achieved during any Performance Period and the length of the Performance Period shall be determined by the Committee upon the grant of each Performance Award. The amount of the Award to be distributed shall be conclusively determined by the Committee.

 
									
	 	9.4	Payment. Except as provided in Article 11 or as may be provided in an Award Agreement, Performance Awards will be settled only after the end of the relevant Performance Period. Performance Awards may be paid in cash, Shares, or any combination thereof in the sole discretion of the Committee. Performance Awards may be paid in a lump sum or in installments following the close of the Performance Period or, in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, on a deferred basis subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

 
						
	10.	PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

 
									
	 	10.1	Performance Criteria. The Committee may determine that the lapsing of restrictions with respect to an Award, and the distribution of cash, Shares or other property pursuant thereto, as applicable, shall be subject to the achievement of one or more performance goals established by the Committee, which shall be based on the attainment of specified levels of one or any combination of performance objectives and criteria, each as may be calculated or measured in the manner determined by the Committee (the “Performance Criteria”). Such Performance Criteria may include (without limitation):

11

 
									
	 	(a)	Basic or diluted earnings per Share;

 
									
	 	(b)	Cash flow;

 
									
	 	(c)	Economic value added;

 
									
	 	(d)	Income, which may include, without limitation, net income, operating income, volume measures (e.g., admissions or visits) and expense control measures, and which and may be calculated or measured before or after income taxes, including or excluding interest, depreciation and amortization, minority interests, extraordinary items and other material non-recurring items, discontinued operations, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting policies and the effects of any tax law changes;

 
									
	 	(e)	Quality of service and/or patient care, including, without limitation, patient, physician and/or employee satisfaction objectives;

 
									
	 	(f)	Business performance or return measures (consisting of market share, debt reduction, return on assets, capital, equity, or sales);

 
									
	 	(g)	The price of the Company’s common or preferred stock (including, but not limited to, growth measures and total shareholder return); or

 
									
	 	(h)	Any other criterion that the Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, is appropriate.

Such Performance Criteria may be determined on an absolute or relative basis, may be based solely by reference to the Company’s performance or the performance of an Affiliate, division, business segment or business unit of the Company, or based upon the relative performance of other companies or indices or upon comparisons of any of the indicators of performance relative to other companies or indices. In the event of (i) a change in corporate capitalization, a corporate transaction or a complete or partial corporate liquidation, (ii) a natural disaster or other significant unforeseen event that materially impacts the operation of the Company, (iii) any extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring gain or loss or other event, (iv) any material change in tax laws or accounting policies or practices affecting the Company and/or the Performance Criteria, or (v) any other event(s) or item(s) determined by the Committee, the Committee may make adjustments to the Performance Criteria so as to neutralize the effect of the event on the applicable Award.
 
									
	 	10.2	Settlement and Adjustments of Awards Subject to Performance Criteria. The Committee shall, at the end of the applicable Performance Period, determine whether the applicable Performance Criteria were satisfied and the amount payable with respect to any Award. The Committee may, in its discretion, adjust the amount otherwise payable pursuant to such Award after considering such factors as it deems relevant.

 
									
	 	10.3	Limitations on Director Awards. The aggregate dollar value of equity-based (based on the grant date Fair Market Value of equity-based Awards) granted under this Plan during a calendar year to a Director, taken together with any cash fees paid during such calendar year to such Director, in respect of the Director’s service as a member of the Board during such year (including service as a member or chair of any committees of the Board), shall not exceed $650,000; provided, however, that in any calendar year in which a Director serves as Chairman of the Board or Lead Director, the maximum aggregate dollar value of equity-based and cash compensation provided to the Director may be up to $850,000.

 
						
	11.	CHANGE IN CONTROL PROVISIONS

 
12

									
	 	11.1	Impact on Certain Awards. Award Agreements may provide that in the event of a Change in Control of the Company: (a) Options and Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding as of the date of the Change in Control shall be cancelled and terminated without payment therefor if the Fair Market Value of one Share as of the date of the Change in Control is less than the per Share Option exercise price or Stock Appreciation Right grant price, and (b) all Performance Awards shall be considered to be earned and payable (either in full or pro rata based on the portion of Performance Period completed as of the date of the Change in Control and either based on achievement of target or actual performance during such period), and any limitations or other restriction shall lapse and such Performance Awards shall be immediately settled or distributed.

 
									
	 	11.2	Assumption or Substitution of Certain Awards.

 
									
	 	(a)	Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement or the ESP, with respect to a Participant who is a “Covered Executive” under the ESP, in the event of a Change in Control of the Company in which the successor company assumes or substitutes for an Award, if a Participant incurs a Qualifying Termination with such successor company (or a subsidiary thereof) within the Protection Period (or such other period set forth in the Award Agreement, including a period prior thereto if applicable) and under the circumstances specified in the Award Agreement, then the following shall occur: (i) Options and Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding as of the date of such termination of employment will immediately vest (i.e., immediately vest on the termination date), become fully exercisable, and may thereafter be exercised for twenty-four (24) months (or the period of time set forth in the Award Agreement), but in any event no later than the date of the expiration of the term of such Award, (ii) restrictions, limitations and other conditions applicable to Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall lapse and the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall become free of all restrictions, limitations and conditions and become fully vested on the termination date, and (iii) the restrictions, limitations and other conditions applicable to any Other Share-Based Awards or any other Awards shall lapse, and such Other Share-Based Awards or such other Awards shall become free of all restrictions, limitations and conditions and become fully vested and transferable, to the full extent of the original grant, on the termination date. For the purposes of this Section 11.2, an Award shall be considered assumed or substituted for if following the Change in Control the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash or other securities or property) received in the transaction constituting a Change in Control by holders of Shares for each Share held on the effective date of such transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the transaction constituting a Change in Control is not solely common stock of the successor company, the Committee may, with the consent of the successor company, provide that the consideration to be received upon the exercise or vesting of an Award, for each Share subject thereto, will be solely common stock of the successor company substantially equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Shares in the transaction constituting a Change in Control. The determination of such substantial equality of value of consideration shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion and its determination shall be conclusive and binding.

  
									
	 	(b)	Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement or the ESP, with respect to a Participant who is a “Covered Executive” under the ESP, in the event of a Change in Control of the Company to the extent the successor company does not assume or substitute for an Award: (i) those Options and Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding as of the date of the Change in Control that are not assumed or substituted for shall immediately vest and become fully exercisable as of the date of the Change in Control, (ii) restrictions, limitations and other conditions on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units that are not assumed or substituted for shall lapse and the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall become free of all restrictions, limitations and conditions and become fully vested as of the date of the Change in Control, and (iii) the restrictions, limitations and other conditions applicable to any Other Share-Based Awards or any other Awards that are not assumed or substituted for shall lapse, and such Other Share-Based Awards or such other Awards shall become free of all restrictions, limitations and conditions and become fully vested and transferable, to the full extent of the original grant, as of the date of the Change in Control.

 
13

									
	 	(c)	The Committee, in its discretion, may determine that, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company, each Option and Stock Appreciation Right outstanding shall terminate within a specified number of days after notice to the Participant, and/or that each Participant shall receive, with respect to each Share subject to such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of such Share immediately prior to the occurrence of such Change in Control over the exercise price per share of such Option and/or Stock Appreciation Right; such amount to be payable in cash, in one or more kinds of stock or property (including the stock or property, if any, payable in the transaction) or in a combination thereof, as the Committee, in its discretion, shall determine.

 
						
	12.	GENERALLY APPLICABLE PROVISIONS

 
									
	 	12.1	Amendment and Termination of the Plan. The Committee may, from time to time, alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan as it shall deem advisable, subject to any requirement for stockholder approval imposed by applicable law, including the rules and regulations of the principal securities market on which the Shares are traded; provided that the Committee may not amend the Plan in any manner that would result in noncompliance with Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act; and further provided that the Committee may not, without the approval of the Company’s stockholders, amend the Plan to (a) increase the number of Shares that may be the subject of Awards under the Plan (except for adjustments pursuant to Section 12.2), (b) expand the types of awards available under the Plan, (c) materially expand the class of persons eligible to participate in the Plan, (d) amend any provision of Section 5.3 or Section 6.2(e) (regarding changes in the exercise price of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights), (e) increase the maximum permissible term of any Option specified by Section 5.4 or the maximum permissible term of a Stock Appreciation Right specified by Section 6.2(d), or (f) increase the limitations set forth in Section 10.3. In addition, no amendments to, or termination of, the Plan shall impair in any material respect the rights of a Participant under any Award previously granted without such Participant’s consent except as required to comply with applicable law, including in order to comply with or ensure exemption from Section 409A of the Code.

 
									
	 	12.2	Adjustments. In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, dividend or distribution (whether in cash, shares or other property, other than a regular cash dividend), stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off or similar transaction or other change in corporate structure affecting the Shares or the value thereof, such adjustments and other substitutions shall be made to the Plan and to Awards as the Committee deems equitable or appropriate taking into consideration the accounting and tax consequences, including such adjustments in the aggregate number, class and kind of securities that may be delivered under the Plan, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued as incentive stock options, in the number, class, kind and option or exercise price of securities subject to outstanding Awards granted under the Plan (including, if the Committee deems appropriate, the substitution of similar options to purchase the shares of, or other awards denominated in the shares of, another company) and the terms and conditions of any outstanding Awards (including, without limitation, any applicable performance targets or criteria with respect thereto), as the Committee may determine to be appropriate; provided, however, that the number of Shares subject to any Award shall always be a whole number.

									
	 	12.3	Transferability of Awards. Except as provided below, no Award and no Shares subject to Awards that have not been issued or as to which any applicable restriction, performance or deferral period has not lapsed, may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and such Award may be exercised during the life of the Participant only by the Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. To the extent and under such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee, a Participant may assign or transfer an Award (each transferee thereof, a “Permitted Assignee”) to (i) the Participant’s spouse, children or grandchildren (including any adopted and step children or grandchildren), parents, grandparents or siblings, (ii) to a trust for the benefit of one or more of the Participant or the persons referred to in clause (i), (iii) to a partnership, limited liability company or corporation in which the Participant or the persons referred to in clause (i) are the only partners, members or shareholders, (iv) for charitable donations or (v) pursuant to a domestic relations order entered or approved by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that such Permitted Assignee shall be bound by and subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Award Agreement relating to the transferred Award and shall execute an agreement satisfactory to the Company evidencing such obligations; and provided further that such Participant shall remain bound by the terms and conditions of the Plan. The Company shall cooperate with any Permitted Assignee and the Company’s transfer agent in effectuating any transfer permitted by the Committee under this Section. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will any Award be transferrable by a Participant in exchange for value.

 
14

									
	 	12.4	Termination of Employment. Subject to Article 11, the Committee shall determine and set forth in each Award Agreement whether the Award subject to such Award Agreement will (i) in the case of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, continue to be or become exercisable and, if so, the terms of exercise, and (ii) in the case of Awards other than Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, cease to be subject to any applicable restrictions, limitations and other conditions, and if so, the timing of the removal of such restrictions, limitations and conditions, after the date that a Participant ceases to be employed by or to provide services to the Company or any Subsidiary (including as a Director), whether by reason of death, disability, voluntary or involuntary termination of employment or services, or otherwise. The date of termination of a Participant’s employment or services will be determined by the Committee, which determination will be final.

 
									
	 	12.5	Deferral. The Committee shall be authorized to establish procedures pursuant to which the payment of any Award may be deferred. Such procedures may include, without limitation, provisions for the payment or crediting of reasonable interest on installment or deferred payments or the grant or crediting of other amounts in respect of deferred payments denominated in Shares. Any deferral shall only be allowed as is provided in a separate deferred compensation plan adopted by the Company.

 
						
	13.	MISCELLANEOUS

 
									
	 	13.1	Award Agreements. Each Award Agreement shall either be (a) in writing in a form approved by the Committee and executed by the Company by an officer duly authorized to act on its behalf, or (b) an electronic notice in a form approved by the Committee and recorded by the Company (or its designee) in an electronic recordkeeping system used for the purpose of tracking one or more types of Awards as the Committee may provide; in each case and if required by the Committee, the Award Agreement shall be executed or otherwise electronically accepted by the recipient of the Award in such form and manner as the Committee may require. The Committee may authorize any officer of the Company to execute any or all Award Agreements on behalf of the Company. The Award Agreement shall set forth the material terms and conditions of the Award as established by the Committee consistent with the provisions of the Plan.

 
									
	 	13.2	Other Benefit Plans. In the event that a provision of any other plan or benefit program of the Employer is more favorable to a Participant with respect to the treatment of any Award upon termination of employment or in connection with a Change in Control than the provisions contained in this Plan or an applicable Award Agreement, the provisions of such other plan or benefit program will control.

 
									
	 	13.3	Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the right to make all payments or distributions pursuant to the Plan to a Participant (or a Permitted Assignee thereof) (any such person, a “Payee”) net of any applicable federal, state and local taxes required to be paid or withheld as a result of (a) the grant of any Award, (b) the exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, (c) the delivery of Shares or cash, (d) the lapse of any restrictions in connection with any Award or (e) any other event occurring pursuant to the Plan. The Company or any Subsidiary shall have the right to withhold from wages or other amounts otherwise payable to such Payee such withholding taxes as may be required by law, or to otherwise require the Payee to pay such withholding taxes. If the Payee shall fail to make such tax payments as are required, the Company or its Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to such Payee or to take such other action as may be necessary to satisfy such withholding obligations. The Committee shall be authorized to establish procedures for election by Participants to satisfy such obligation for the payment of such taxes by tendering previously acquired Shares (either actually or by attestation, valued at their then Fair Market Value), or by directing the Company to retain Shares (up to the Participant’s maximum tax withholding rate or such other rate that will not trigger a negative accounting impact and is otherwise permitted under applicable withholding rules promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service or another applicable governmental entity) otherwise deliverable in connection with the Award.

 
									
	 	13.4	Right of Discharge Reserved; Claims to Awards. Nothing in the Plan nor the grant of an Award hereunder shall confer upon any Employee or Director the right to continue in the employment or service of the Company or any Subsidiary or affect any right that the Company or any Subsidiary may have to terminate the employment or service of (or to demote or to exclude from future Awards under the Plan) any such Employee or Director at any time for any reason. Except as specifically provided by the Committee, the Company shall not be liable for the loss of existing or potential profit from an Award granted in the event of termination of an employment or other relationship. No Employee or Participant shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Employees or Participants under the Plan.

 
15

									
	 	13.5	Substitute Awards. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the terms of Substitute Awards may vary from the terms set forth in the Plan to the extent the Committee deems appropriate to conform, in whole or in part, to the provisions of the awards in substitution for which they are granted.

 
									
	 	13.6	Cancellation of Award. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, an Award Agreement may provide that the Award shall be canceled if the Participant, without the consent of the Company, while employed by the Company or any Subsidiary or after termination of such employment or service, establishes a relationship with a competitor of the Company or any Subsidiary or engages in activity that is in conflict with or adverse to the interest of the Company or any Subsidiary, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee may also provide in an Award Agreement that if within the time period specified in the Agreement the Participant establishes a relationship with a competitor or engages in an activity referred to in the preceding sentence, the Participant will forfeit any gain realized on the vesting or exercise of the Award and must repay such gain to the Company.

 
									
	 	13.7	Stop-Transfer Orders. All certificates for Shares delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award shall be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Shares are then listed, and any applicable federal or state securities law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

 
									
	 	13.8	Nature of Payments. All Awards made pursuant to the Plan are in consideration of services performed or to be performed for the Company or any Subsidiary, division or business unit of the Company. Any income or gain realized pursuant to Awards under the Plan constitute a special incentive payment to the Participant and shall not be taken into account, to the extent permissible under applicable law, as compensation for purposes of any of the employee benefit plans of the Company or any Subsidiary except as may be determined by the Committee or by the Board or board of directors of the applicable Subsidiary.

 
									
	 	13.9	Other Plans. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to stockholder approval if such approval is required; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

 
									
	 	13.10	Severability. If any provision of the Plan shall be held unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall (a) be deemed limited to the extent that such court of competent jurisdiction deems it lawful, valid and/or enforceable and as so limited shall remain in full force and effect, and (b) not affect any other provision of the Plan or part thereof, each of which shall remain in full force and effect. If the making of any payment or the provision of any other benefit required under the Plan shall be held unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such unlawfulness, invalidity or unenforceability shall not prevent any other payment or benefit from being made or provided under the Plan, and if the making of any payment in full or the provision of any other benefit required under the Plan in full would be unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, then such unlawfulness, invalidity or unenforceability shall not prevent such payment or benefit from being made or provided in part, to the extent that it would not be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, and the maximum payment or benefit that would not be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable shall be made or provided under the Plan.

 
									
	 	13.11	Construction. As used in the Plan, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

 
									
	 	13.12	Unfunded Status of the Plan. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company. In its sole discretion, the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver the Shares or payments in lieu of or with respect to Awards hereunder; provided, however, that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the unfunded status of the Plan. This Plan shall not constitute an “employee benefit plan” for purposes of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

 
16

									
	 	13.13	Governing Law. The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken thereunder, to the extent not otherwise governed by the Code or the laws of the United States, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, without reference to principles of conflict of laws, and construed accordingly.

 
									
	 	13.14	Effective Date of Plan; Termination of Plan. The Plan was adopted by the Board on March 18, 2019, subject to approval of the holders of the shares entitled to vote at a duly constituted meeting of the stockholders of the Company (such stockholder approval date being referred to herein as the “Effective Date” of the Plan). This Plan shall be null and void and of no effect if the foregoing condition is not fulfilled. Awards may be granted under the Plan at any time and from time to time on or prior to March 18, 2029, on which date the Plan will expire except as to Awards then outstanding under the Plan. Such outstanding Awards shall remain in effect until they have been exercised or terminated, or have expired.

 
									
	 	13.15	Foreign Employees. With respect to Participants who reside or work outside the United States of America, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, amend the terms of the Plan or Awards with respect to such Participants in order to conform such terms with the provisions of local law, and the Committee may, where appropriate, establish one or more sub-plans to reflect such amended or varied provisions. The Committee also may impose conditions on the exercise or vesting of Awards in order to minimize the Company’s obligation with respect to tax equalization for Employees on assignments outside their home country.

In connection with any transfer of Securities other than (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement, (ii) to the Company, (iii) pursuant to Rule 144 (provided that the Investor provides the Company with reasonable assurances (in the form of a seller representation letter) that such Securities, as applicable, may be sold pursuant to such rule) or Rule 144A (as promulgated under the Securities Act), or (iv) in connection with a bona fide pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(c), the Company may require the transferor to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities, as applicable, under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company hereby consents to and agrees to register on the books of the Company and with its Transfer Agent, without any such legal opinion, except to the extent that the transfer agent requests such legal opinion, any transfer of Securities, as applicable, by an Investor to an Affiliate of such Investor; provided further that such transfer does not involve a “sale” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(3) of the Securities Act; and provided, further that such Affiliate does not request any removal of any existing legends on any certificate evidencing such Securities, as applicable.
(b)The Investors agree to the imprinting, until no longer required by this Section 4.1(b), of the following legend on any certificate evidencing any of the Securities:
THESE SECURITIES [for Notes, insert: AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION HEREOF; for Commitment Fee Warrants, insert: AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF] HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES

ACT”), OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR BLUE SKY LAWS. 
UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE THE DATE THAT IS 4 MONTHS AND A DAY AFTER THE LATER OF (I) THE ISSUE DATE AND (II) THE DATE THE ISSUER BECAME A REPORTING ISSUER IN ANY PROVINCE OR TERRITORY.
(c)The Company acknowledges and agrees that an Investor may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities, as applicable, to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Investor may transfer pledged or secured Securities, as applicable, to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith; provided, that an opinion of legal counsel to the Company may be required by the Transfer Agent in connection with any such transfer. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Investor’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities, as applicable, may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of such Securities, as applicable, including, (i) the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, if required by the Transfer Agent, as described above and (ii) if the Securities, as applicable, are subject to registration pursuant to this Agreement, the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of selling shareholders.
(d)Certificates evidencing the Securities, as applicable, shall not be required to contain such legend or any other legend (i) following any sale of such Securities, as applicable, pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (ii) pursuant to Rule 144 if the holder provides the Company with a legal opinion (and the documents upon which the legal opinion is based) reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that the Securities, as applicable, can be sold under Rule 144 or (iii) if the holder provides the Company with a legal opinion (and the documents upon which the legal opinion is based) reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that the legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”)). The Company, at its expense, shall cause Company Counsel to issue any legal opinion to the Transfer Agent in connection with any sale or transfer pursuant to Rule 144 in compliance with this Section 4.1(d). The Company will no later than three (3) Trading Days following the delivery by an Investor to the Company or the Transfer Agent (if delivery is made to the Transfer Agent a copy shall be contemporaneously delivered to the Company) of (x) a legended certificate representing the applicable Securities, as applicable, and any necessary instruments of transfer and (y) evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel of the occurrence of any of (i) through (iii) above (including any applicable investor and broker representation letters and the delivery of any legal opinion referred to therein, as applicable), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Investor (or a transferee 

30

​

of such Investor, as applicable) a certificate or book-entry (including shares transferred via DWAC or similar methodology by DTC) representing such Securities, as applicable, that is free from all restrictive and other legends(the date on which (x) and (y) are delivered being referred to herein as the “Legend Removal Date”).  The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that expand the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4.1(d).
4.2Use of Proceeds. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to fund product commercialization, to fund research and development, for general corporate purposes, to repay certain existing indebtedness and to pay the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company shall not use such proceeds (x) in violation of FCPA or OFAC regulations, or (y) to make any dividend or distribution in respect of, or to repurchase or redeem, any shares of its capital stock.
4.3Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall, on or before 9:30 a.m. (New York time), on the first (1st) Business Day after the date of this Agreement, issue a press release (the “Press Release”), the contents of which shall be subject to prior review and reasonable approval of the Investors, disclosing all the material terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. On or before 9:30 a.m., New York time, on the first (1st) Business Day after the date of this Agreement, 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 Exchange Act and attaching all the material Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, this Agreement (and all schedules to this Agreement) and the form of Notes (including all attachments, the “8-K Filing”). From and after the filing of the 8-K Filing, the Company shall have disclosed all material, non-public information (if any) provided to any of the Investors by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. In addition, effective upon the filing of the 8-K Filing, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, affiliates, employees or agents, on the one hand, and any of the Investors or any of their affiliates, on the other hand, shall terminate.  Without the prior written consent of an Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of such Investor, or include the name of such Investor in any filing with the SEC or any regulatory agency or Trading Market; provided, however, that without such Investor’s consent, the Company may publicly disclose the name of such Investor, or include the name of such Investor in any filing with the SEC or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, (a) as required by federal securities law in connection with any registration statement contemplated by this Agreement or (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Investors with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b); provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing proviso, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Company’s filing with the SEC of its first Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K following the First Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to each Investor a draft of such Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or such Annual Report on Form 10-K and shall reasonably cooperate with each such Investor in respect of any reasonable comments thereto proposed by such Investor.
4.4Shareholder Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that any Investor is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Investor could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities, as applicable, under the Transaction Documents.

​

4.5Non-Public Information. Except with respect to (i) the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and (ii) information provided to the Observer, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf, will provide any Investor or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information from and after the filing of the Press Release, unless prior thereto such Investor shall have entered into a written agreement with the Company regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that each Investor shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
4.6Blue Sky. The Company, on or before each Applicable Closing Date, shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for or to qualify the Notes for sale to the Investors at such Closing pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or “blue sky” laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification). The Company shall make all filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the Securities, as applicable, required under applicable securities or “blue sky” laws of the states of the United States following the Applicable Closing Date and shall provide copies to any Investor who so requests.
4.7Resale Registration.  
(a)Mandatory Registration.  Following each Closing, the Company shall prepare and, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than the Filing Deadline in respect of such Closing, file with the SEC, a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or such other form under the Securities Act as is then available to the Company (or, in the case of an existing shelf registration statement, file a prospectus supplement with the SEC), providing for the resale from time to time by the Investors of at least the number of Registrable Securities equal to the Required Registration Amount in respect of the Notes and Commitment Fee Warrants issued at such Closing as of the date such Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Filing Deadline with respect to any Registration Statement shall be automatically extended by a number of days necessary to address any comments to such Registration Statement by any Investor’s counsel, which comments have required that the Company not file such Registration Statement as set forth in clause (B) of Section 4.7(c)(iii).  Each Registration Statement (or, in the case of an existing shelf registration statement, prospectus supplement) required to be filed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, shall contain (except as otherwise directed by the Investors) the “Selling Shareholders” and “Plan of Distribution” sections in substantially the form attached hereto as Annex B.  The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause each Registration Statement (or, in the case of an existing shelf registration statement, each prospectus supplement) required to be filed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable following such filing and prior to the applicable Effectiveness Deadline for such Registration Statement.  The Company shall promptly, and in any event within three (3) Trading Days, notify the Investors of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement.  The Company shall maintain the effectiveness of each Registration Statement for so long as there are any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement outstanding, with respect to such outstanding Registrable Securities.
(b)Effect of Failure to File and Obtain and Maintain Effectiveness of any Registration Statement.  If (i) a Registration Statement covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered thereby (after giving effect to any reduction pursuant to Section 4.7(g)) and required to be filed by the Company pursuant to this Agreement is (A) not filed with the SEC on or before the Filing Deadline for such Registration Statement (a “Filing Failure”) or (B) not declared effective by the SEC on or before the Effectiveness Deadline for such Registration Statement (an “Effectiveness Failure”) (it being understood that if on or prior to the fifth Business Day immediately following the effective date for such Registration Statement the Company shall not have filed a “final” prospectus for such Registration Statement with the SEC under Rule 424(b) (to the extent such a prospectus is either technically required by 

32
64870277v15

​

such rule or is otherwise required under applicable securities laws in order to permit the resale by the Investors of the Registrable Securities covered thereby), the Company shall be deemed to not have satisfied this clause (i)(B) and such event shall be deemed to be an Effectiveness Failure), (ii) on any day after the effective date of a Registration Statement during the Registration Period (as defined below) for such Registration Statement sales of all of the Registrable Securities required to be included on such Registration Statement cannot be made pursuant to such Registration Statement (including, without limitation, because of a failure to keep such Registration Statement effective, a failure to disclose such information as is necessary for sales to be made pursuant to such Registration Statement, a suspension or delisting of the Common Shares on the applicable Trading Market, or a failure to register a sufficient number of Common Shares or by reason of a stop order) or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use for any reason (a “Maintenance Failure”), or (iii) if a Registration Statement is not effective for any reason or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use for any reason, and either (x) the Company fails for any reason to satisfy the requirements of Rule 144(c)(1), including, without limitation, the failure to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) or (y) the Company has ever been an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) or becomes such an issuer in the future, and the Company shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) (a “Current Public Information Failure”) as a result of which any of the Investors are unable to sell Registrable Securities without restriction under Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions), then, as partial relief (other than equitable remedies) for the damages to any holder by reason of any such delay in, or reduction of, its ability to sell Registrable Securities (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available in equity), the Company shall pay to each holder of Registrable Securities relating to such Registration Statement an amount in cash equal to one half of one percent (0.50%) of the Total Purchase Price paid by such Investor for the Notes purchased by such Investor pursuant to this Agreement on (1) the date of such Filing Failure, Effectiveness Failure, Maintenance Failure or Current Public Information Failure, as applicable, and (2) on every thirty (30) day anniversary of (I) a Filing Failure until such Filing Failure is cured; (II) an Effectiveness Failure until such Effectiveness Failure is cured; (III) a Maintenance Failure until such Maintenance Failure is cured; and (IV) a Current Public Information Failure until the earlier of (i) the date such Current Public Information Failure is cured and (ii) such time that such public information is no longer required pursuant to Rule 144 (in each case, pro-rated for periods totaling less than thirty (30) days).  The payments to which a holder of Registrable Securities shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.7(b) are referred to herein as “Registration Delay Payments.”  Following the initial Registration Delay Payment for any particular event or failure (which shall be paid on the date of such event or failure, as set forth above), without limiting the foregoing, if an event or failure giving rise to the Registration Delay Payments is cured prior to any monthly anniversary of such event or failure, then such Registration Delay Payment shall be made on the third (3rd) Business Day after such cure (pro-rated for the number of days elapsed between the date on which the most recent Registration Delay Payment was required to have been paid in accordance with this Section 4.7(b) and the date of cure).  In the event the Company fails to make Registration Delay Payments in a timely manner in accordance with the foregoing, such Registration Delay Payments shall bear interest at the rate of one percent (1.0%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Registration Delay Payments shall be owed to an Investor (other than with respect to a Maintenance Failure resulting from a suspension or delisting of (or a failure to timely list) the Common Shares on the applicable Trading Market) with respect to any period during which all of such Investor’s Registrable Securities may be sold by such Investor without restriction under Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions) and without the need for current public information required by Rule 144(c)(1)).  For the avoidance of doubt, no more than one Registration Delay Payment shall be payable by the Company at any given time, notwithstanding that more than one failure giving rise to a Registration Delay Payment shall have occurred and is continuing (e.g., an Effectiveness Failure and a Current Public Information Failure continuing simultaneously); provided, that, Registration Delay Payments shall continue in accordance with this Section 4.7(b) until all failures giving rise to such payments are cured.

(c)Related Obligations.  The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of all the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:
(i)The Company shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to all the Registrable Securities required to be covered thereby (but in no event later than the applicable Filing Deadline) and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing and prior to the applicable Effectiveness Deadline.  The Company shall keep each Registration Statement effective (and the prospectus contained therein available for use) pursuant to Rule 415 for resales by the Investors on a delayed or continuous basis at then-prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices) at all times until the earlier of (A) the date as of which all of the Investors may sell all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement (disregarding any reduction pursuant to Section 4.7(g)) without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions) and without the need for current public information required by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) or (B) the date on which the Investors shall have sold all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (the “Registration Period”).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall ensure that, when filed and at all times while effective, each Registration Statement (1) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading and (2) will disclose (whether directly or through incorporation by reference to other SEC filings to the extent permitted) all material information regarding the Company and its securities.  The Company shall submit to the SEC, within five (5) Business Days after the Staff advises the Company (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) that the Staff either will not review a particular Registration Statement or has no further comments on such Registration Statement (as the case may be), a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date not later than forty-eight (48) hours after the submission of such request.
(ii)The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including, without limitation, post-effective amendments) and supplements to each Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with each such Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep each such Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period for such Registration Statement, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company required to be covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement or the completion of the applicable Registration Period; provided, however, by 5:30 p.m. (New York time) on or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day immediately following the effective date of each Registration Statement, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Registration Statement (whether or not such a prospectus is technically required by such rule).  In the case of amendments and supplements to any Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to this Section 4.7(c)(ii)) by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K or any analogous report under the Exchange Act, the Company shall, if permitted under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, have incorporated such report by reference into such Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the SEC on or prior to the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date on which the Exchange Act report is filed with the SEC which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement such Registration Statement.

64870277v15

​

(iii)The Company shall (A) permit legal counsel for each Investor, at each such Investor’s cost and expense, to review and comment upon (i) each Registration Statement that includes the name, or otherwise identifies, any Investor as a “Selling Shareholder” with respect to securities registered for sale pursuant to such Registration Statement at least five (5) days prior to its filing with the SEC and (ii) all amendments and supplements to each Registration Statement that includes the name, or otherwise identifies, any Investor as a “Selling Shareholder” with respect to securities registered for sale pursuant to such Registration Statement (including, without limitation, the prospectus contained therein) (except for Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and any similar or successor reports) within a reasonable number of days prior to their filing with the SEC, and (B) not file any Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto, in each, referred to in clause (A) above, in a form to which any legal counsel for any Investor reasonably objects in a timely manner. The Company shall reasonably cooperate with legal counsel for each other Investor in performing the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Section 4.7(c)(iii).
(iv)The Company shall promptly furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement, without charge, (i) copies of any correspondence from the SEC or the Staff to the Company or its representatives relating to such Registration Statement, provided that such correspondence shall not contain any material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) upon request, after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, a reasonable number of copies of such Registration Statement and any amendment(s) and supplement(s) thereto, including, if so requested, the financial statements and schedules filed therewith, all documents incorporated therein by reference, all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (iii) upon request, upon the effectiveness of such Registration Statement, two (2) copies of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as such Investor may reasonably request from time to time), and (iv) such other documents, including, without limitation, copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as such Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor.
(v)The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) register and qualify, unless an exemption from registration and qualification applies, the resale by Investors of the Registrable Securities covered by any Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of jurisdictions in the United States as shall be reasonably appropriate for the distribution of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including, without limitation, post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the applicable Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the applicable Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 4.7(c)(v), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.  The Company shall promptly notify each Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.
(vi)The Company shall notify each Investor in writing of the happening of any event, as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in 

35
64870277v15

​

the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement and such prospectus contained therein to correct such untrue statement or omission and, upon request by any Investor, deliver two (2) copies of such supplement or amendment to such Investor (or such other number of copies as such Investor may reasonably request).  The Company shall also promptly notify each Investor in writing when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment relating to a Registration Statement has been filed, when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to each Investor by facsimile or e-mail on the same day of such effectiveness or by overnight mail), and when the Company receives written notice from the SEC that a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto will be reviewed by the SEC.  The Company shall respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments received from the SEC with respect to each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto.  If the Company receives SEC comments which challenge the right of an Investor to have its Registrable Securities included in a Registration Statement without being deemed an underwriter thereunder, the Company shall, in discussions with and responses to the SEC, use its reasonable best efforts to cause as many Registrable Securities as possible to be included in such Registration Statement without characterizing any Investor as an underwriter and in such regard use its reasonable best efforts to cause the SEC to permit the affected Investors or their respective counsel to reasonably participate in SEC conversations on such issue together with Company Counsel, and timely convey relevant information concerning such issue with the affected Investors or their respective counsel. In no event may the Company name any Investor as an underwriter without such Investor’s prior written consent.
(vii)The Company shall (i) use reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of each Registration Statement or the use of any prospectus contained therein, or the suspension of the qualification, or the loss of an exemption from qualification, of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension as soon as reasonably practicable and (ii) notify each Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.
(viii)The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of confidential information concerning an Investor provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in a Registration Statement or is otherwise required to be disclosed in a Registration Statement pursuant to the Securities Act, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.  The Company agrees that it shall, to the extent permitted by law, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning an Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to such Investor and allow such Investor, at such Investor’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.
(ix)Without limiting any obligation of the Company under this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts either to (i) cause all of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or (ii) secure designation and quotation of all of the Registrable Securities on the applicable Trading Market.  In addition, the Company shall cooperate with 

36
64870277v15

​

each Investor and any broker or dealer through which any such Investor proposes to sell its Registrable Securities in effecting a filing with FINRA pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110 as requested by such Investor and at such Investor’s expense.  Other than with respect to the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section 4.7(c)(ix).
(x)The Company shall cooperate with the Investors who hold Registrable Securities being offered and, to the extent applicable, facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (subject to applicable securities laws, not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to any Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts (as the case may be) as the Investors may reasonably request from time to time and registered in such names as the Investors may request.
(xi)The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.
(xii)The Company shall make generally available to its security holders as soon as practical, but not later than ninety (90) days after the close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying with, and in the manner provided by, the provisions of Rule 158 under the Securities Act) covering a twelve-month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company’s fiscal quarter next following the effective date of each Registration Statement.
(xiii)The Company shall otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with any registration hereunder.
(xiv)Within two (2) Business Days after the date on which a Registration Statement which covers Registrable Securities is declared effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver, or shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the Transfer Agent (with copies to the Investors whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement upon request by any such Investor) written confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC.
(xv)If any Investor may be required under applicable securities law to be described in any Registration Statement as an underwriter and such Investor consents to so being named an underwriter, at the request of any Investor, the Company shall furnish to such Investor, on the date of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as an Investor may reasonably request (i) a letter, dated such date, from the Company’s independent certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Investors, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Company for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Investors.
(xvi)If any Investor may be required under applicable securities law to be described in any Registration Statement as an underwriter and such Investor consents to so being named an underwriter, upon the written request of such Investor, the Company shall make available for inspection, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, by (i) such Investor, (ii) legal counsel for such Investor and (iii) one (1) firm of accountants or other agents retained by such Investor (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be deemed reasonably necessary by each Inspector to enable such Investor to exercise its due diligence responsibly, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably request; provided, however, each Inspector shall agree in writing to hold in strict confidence and not to make any disclosure 

37
64870277v15

(except to such Investor) or use of any Record or other information which the Company’s board of directors determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (1) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the Securities Act, (2) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (3) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Such Investor agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential. Nothing herein (or in any other confidentiality agreement between the Company and such Investor, if any) shall be deemed to limit any Investor’s ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner which is otherwise consistent with applicable laws and regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, any material non-public information received by an Inspector and/or an Investor in connection with exercising its inspection right under this Section 4.7(c)(xvi) shall not constitute a violation of any provision of the other Transaction Documents.
(xvii)The Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by each Investor of its Registrable Securities pursuant to each Registration Statement.

(d)Obligations of the Investors.  Each Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as the Company shall reasonably request and as shall be required in connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.  Each Investor, by such Investor’s acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement, unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing of such Investor’s election to exclude all of such Investor’s Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.
(e)Expenses of Registration.  All expenses incurred in connection with any Registration Statement, excluding underwriters’ discounts and commissions, but including without limitation all registration, filing and qualification fees, word processing, duplicating, printers’ and accounting fees, stock exchange fees, messenger and delivery expenses, all fees and expenses of complying with state securities or blue sky laws and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be paid by the Company.
(f)Sufficient Number of Shares Registered.  Subject to Section 4.7(g), in the event the number of shares available under any Registration Statement during the applicable Registration Period is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement or an Investor’s allocated portion of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 4.7(h), the Company shall amend such Registration Statement (if permissible), or file with the SEC a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover at least the Required Registration Amount as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the filing of such amendment or new Registration Statement, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the necessity therefor arises (but taking account of any Staff position with respect to the date on which the Staff will permit such amendment to such Registration Statement and/or such new Registration Statement (as the case may be) to be filed with the SEC). The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment to such Registration Statement and/or such new Registration Statement (as the case may be) to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof with 

38
64870277v15

​

the SEC and prior to the applicable Effectiveness Deadline for such Registration Statement. Subject to Section 4.7(g), for purposes of the foregoing provision, the number of shares available under a Registration Statement shall be deemed “insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities” if at any time the number of Common Shares available for resale under the applicable Registration Statement is less than the product determined by multiplying (i) the Required Registration Amount as of such time by (ii) 0.90. The calculation set forth in the foregoing sentence shall be made without regard to any limitations on conversion, exercise, amortization and/or redemption of the Notes or Commitment Fee Warrants (and such calculation shall assume that (A) the Notes are then convertible in full into Common Shares at the then prevailing Conversion Rate (as defined in the Notes), (B) no redemptions or prepayments of the Notes occur prior to the scheduled Maturity Date (except to the extent redemptions or prepayments of the Notes have actually occurred on or prior to such date), and (C) the Commitment Fee Warrants are then exercisable in full into Common Shares at the then prevailing Exercise Price (as defined in the Commitment Fee Warrants).
(g)Offering.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event the Staff or the SEC seeks to characterize any offering pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement as constituting an offering of securities by, or on behalf of, the Company, or in any other manner, such that the Staff or the SEC do not permit such Registration Statement to become effective and used for resales in a manner that does not constitute such an offering and that permits the continuous resale at the market by the Investors participating therein (or as otherwise may be acceptable to each Investor) without being named therein as an “underwriter,” then the Company shall reduce the number of shares to be included in such Registration Statement by all Investors until such time as the Staff and the SEC shall so permit such Registration Statement to become effective as aforesaid. In making such reduction, the Company shall reduce the number of shares to be included by all Investors on a pro rata basis (based upon the number of Registrable Securities otherwise required to be included for each Investor) unless the inclusion of shares by a particular Investor or a particular set of Investors are resulting in the Staff or the SEC’s “by or on behalf of the Company” offering position, in which event the shares held by such Investor or set of Investors shall be the only shares subject to reduction (and if by a set of Investors on a pro rata basis by such Investors or on such other basis as would result in the exclusion of the least number of shares by all such Investors); provided, that, with respect to such pro rata portion allocated to any Investor, such Investor may elect the allocation of such pro rata portion among the Registrable Securities of such Investor. In addition, in the event that the Staff or the SEC requires any Investor seeking to sell securities under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement to be specifically identified as an “underwriter” in order to permit such Registration Statement to become effective, and such Investor does not consent to being so named as an underwriter in such Registration Statement, then, in each such case, the Company shall reduce the total number of Registrable Securities to be registered on behalf of such Investor, until such time as the Staff or the SEC does not require such identification or until such Investor accepts such identification and the manner thereof. In the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this paragraph, an affected Investor shall have the right to require, upon delivery of a written request to the Company signed by such Investor, the Company to file a registration statement within forty-five (45) days of such request (subject to any restrictions imposed by Rule 415 or required by the Staff or the SEC) for resale by such Investor in a manner acceptable to such Investor, and the Company shall following such request cause to be and keep effective such Registration Statement in the same manner as otherwise contemplated in this Agreement for Registration Statements hereunder, in each case until such time as: (i) all Registrable Securities held by such Investor have been registered and sold pursuant to an effective Registration Statement in a manner acceptable to such Investor or (ii) all Registrable Securities may be resold by such Investor without restriction (including, without limitation, volume limitations) pursuant to Rule 144 (taking account of any Staff position with respect to “affiliate” status) and without the need for current public information required by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) or (iii) such Investor agrees to be named as an underwriter in any such Registration Statement in a manner acceptable to such Investor as to all Registrable Securities held by such Investor and that have not theretofore been included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement.

64870277v15

​

(h)Allocation of Registrable Securities.  The initial number of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement and any increase in the number of Registrable Securities included therein shall be allocated pro rata among the Investors based on the number of Registrable Securities held by each Investor at the time such Registration Statement covering such initial number of Registrable Securities or increase thereof is declared effective by the SEC. In the event that an Investor sells or otherwise transfers any of such Investor’s Registrable Securities, each transferee or assignee (as the case may be) that becomes an Investor shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the then-remaining number of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement for such transferor or assignee (as the case may be). Any Common Shares included in a Registration Statement and which remain allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement shall be allocated to the remaining Investors, pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities then held by such Investors which are covered by such Registration Statement.
(i)No Inclusion of Other Securities.  The Company shall in no event include any securities other than Registrable Securities on any Registration Statement filed in accordance herewith without the prior written consent of the Investors (provided, however, that securities registered pursuant to a separate prospectus supplement under a shelf registration statement shall not constitute a violation of this Section 4.7(i)). The Company shall not enter into any agreement providing any registration rights to any of its security holders to the extent such agreement requires, or would otherwise result in, any registration statement of the Company in respect of any securities of the Company (other than the Registrable Securities) becoming effective on or prior to the Applicable Date.

4.8Furnishing of Information. In order to enable the Investors to sell the Securities under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, for a period of two years from each Applicable Closing Date, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. During such two year period, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to such laws, it will prepare and furnish to the Investors and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Investors to sell the Note Shares and Commitment Fee Warrant Shares under Rule 144.
4.9Board Observer. Until such time as the Board Observer Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8 of the Board Observer Agreement, the Company shall allow one (1) non-voting representative designated by Petrichor (such representative, the “Observer”) to attend, in the capacity of an observer and not a member, all meetings the Board. The Company shall give the Observer prior written notice of all meetings of the Board on the terms and conditions set forth in the Board Observer Agreement.

(c)Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) under this Section 6.1 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including, without limitation, any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any 

53
64870277v15

​

indemnifying party under this Section 6.1, deliver to the applicable indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party (as the case may be); provided, however, an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the indemnifying party if: (i) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Claim and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) in any such Claim; or (iii) the named parties to any such Claim (including, without limitation, any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) and the indemnifying party, and such Indemnified Person or such Indemnified Party (as the case may be) shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Person or such Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party (in which case, if such Indemnified Person or such Indemnified Party (as the case may be) notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, then the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party); provided, further that in the case of clause (iii) above the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one (1) separate legal counsel for such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be). The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person (as the case may be) shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person (as the case may be) which relates to such action or Claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person (as the case may be) reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person (as the case may be), 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 Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person (as the case may be) of a release from all liability in respect to such Claim or litigation, and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnified Party. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person (as the case may be) 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 indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) under this Section 6.1, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
(d)No Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities who is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to indemnification from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who is not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation.
(e)The indemnity and contribution agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities to which the indemnifying party may be subject pursuant to the law.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.2, no Investor shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Investor from the applicable sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Claim exceeds the amount of any damages that such Investor has otherwise been required to pay, or would otherwise be required to pay under Section 6.1(b), by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

the Company shall fail to pay the Termination Fee (or any portion thereof) when due pursuant to this Section 8.1, then, in addition to the Termination Fee, (x) the Company shall pay interest, compounded daily, on the Termination Fee from the second (2nd) Business Day following the termination of the Agreement, at the “Prime Rate” as published in the printed copy of the Wall Street Journal on any particular day as the same may be adjusted from time to time and (y) the Company shall reimburse the Collateral Agent and the Investors for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by the Collateral Agent and the Investors (including fees and expenses of counsel) in connection with enforcing the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Investors under this Section 8.1(b) (including with respect to any claims, actions or litigations in respect thereof).  The Company further acknowledges that (i) without the provision regarding the Termination Fee and the other provisions of this Section 8.1(b), the Collateral Agent and the Investors would not have entered into this Agreement, and (ii) that the Termination Fee (and any other amounts payable under this Section 8.1(b)), if paid pursuant to this Section 8.1(b), is not a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will appropriately compensate the Collateral Agent and the Investors for such termination of this Agreement.  Other than the right to sue and seek damages in respect of (x) any default, breach or violation by the Company of its obligations under Section 4.12 or Section 8.2 and (y) any willful default, breach or violation by the Company of its obligations under Section 4.11 (it being acknowledged that the rights of the Collateral Agent and Investors to sue and seek damages in respect of the matters referred to in the foregoing clauses (x) and (y) shall survive any termination of this Agreement), the right to receive payment of the Termination Fee and other amounts payable under this Section 8.1(b) shall be the sole remedy of the Collateral Agent and all Investors in the event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1.
8.2Fees and Expenses. Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, the Company shall pay or otherwise reimburse the Collateral Agent and the Investors for all reasonable and documented fees and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent and the Investors in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the matters contemplated herein and therein, including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel to the Collateral Agent and the Investors.
8.3Entire Agreement; Further Assurances. The Transaction Documents, together with the Exhibits, Annexes and Schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules. At or after the Closing, and without further consideration, the Company and the Investors will execute and deliver to the Investors such further documents as may be reasonably requested in order to give practical effect to the intention of the parties under the Transaction Documents.
8.4Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and provided by email and by deposit with a nationally recognized courier service and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (a) the Trading Date such notice or communication is delivered by such nationally recognized courier service to the party to whom such notice is required to be given, if such notice or communication is delivered at the address specified in this Section 8.4 prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York time) on a Trading Day, or (b) the next Trading Day after the date of delivery, if such notice or communication is delivered by such nationally recognized courier service to the party to whom such notice is required to be given at the address specified in this Section 8.4 on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 6:30 p.m. (New York time) on any Trading Day. The addresses and email addresses for such notices and communications are those set forth on the signature pages hereof, or such other address as may be designated in writing hereafter, in the same manner, by any such Person.

8.5Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company, the Collateral Agent and the Investors holding or having the right to acquire a majority of the Note Shares (voting together as a single class) at the time of such amendment or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought.  No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
8.6Construction. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.
8.7Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Investors; provided, however this Agreement shall be assigned to any corporation or association into which the Company may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation, association or other similar entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Company shall be a party without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement except where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Any Investor may assign its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Investor assigns or transfers any Securities; provided (i) such transferor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company after such assignment, (ii) the Company is furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee, (iii) following such transfer or assignment, the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, (iv) such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, as applicable, by the provisions hereof that apply to the “Investors” and (v) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of this Agreement and with all laws applicable thereto.
8.8No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.
8.9Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.  The Company and Investors hereby irrevocably submit 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 brought by the Company or any Investor hereunder, in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding brought by the Company or any Investor, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, or that such suit, action or proceeding is improper.  Each party 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 via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for 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 

58
64870277v15

​

serve process in any manner permitted by law.  The Company and Investors hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury.
8.10Survival. Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 8.1(a), the representations and warranties, agreements and covenants contained herein shall survive indefinitely and shall not be merged in the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents.
8.11Execution. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or email attachment, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or email-attached signature page were an original thereof.
8.12Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.
8.13Independent Nature of Investors’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Investor under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor under any Transaction Documents. The decision of each Investor to purchase Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Investor independently of any other Investor and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company which may have been made or given by any other Investor or by any agent or employee of any other Investor, and no Investor or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Investor (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no other Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring its investment hereunder. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose.
8.14Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Collateral Agent, the Investors and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
8.15Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities, as applicable, is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, then the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and 

59
64870277v15

​

substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities, as applicable, but without any requirement to post a bond (unless required by the Transfer Agent, in which case the cost of such bond shall be paid by the Company).
8.16Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay (i) the Termination Fee and any other amounts payable under Section 8.1(b), and (ii) any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is, in each case, a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until the entire Termination Fee (and any other amounts payable under Section 8.1(b)), unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such Termination Fee (and any other amounts payable under Section 8.1(b)), partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.

​

ANNEX B
“SELLING SHAREHOLDERS” / “PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION”
Plan of Distribution
​
Each Selling Shareholder (the “Selling Shareholders”) of the shares and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares covered hereby on the NASDAQ Capital Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions.  These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices.  A Selling Shareholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
		●	ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

		●	block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

		●	purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

		●	an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

		●	privately negotiated transactions;

		●	in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Shareholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;

		●	through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

		●	a combination of any such methods of sale; or

		●	any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Shareholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Shareholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales.  Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. 
In connection with the sale of the shares or interests therein, the Selling Shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume.  The Selling Shareholders may also sell shares short and deliver these shares to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities.  The Selling Shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by 

​
Annex B
64870277v15

​

this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the shares.  The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Shareholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.  
The Selling Shareholders may be deemed to be statutory underwriters under the Securities Act. In addition, any broker-dealers who act in connection with the sale of the shares hereunder may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by them and profit on any resale of the shares as principal may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Because Selling Shareholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they may be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder.
The selling shareholders have acknowledged that they understand their obligations to comply with the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder relating to stock manipulation, particularly Regulation M.
We agreed to keep this prospectus effective with respect to the common shares offered by a Selling Shareholder hereunder until the earlier of such Selling Shareholder’s sale of such shares pursuant to this prospectus or until such shares may be sold without restrictions or other limitations pursuant to Rule 144 (or any successor provision) under the Securities Act (including, without limitation, volume restrictions) and without the need for current public information required by Rule 144(c)(1).
We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Shareholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).
There can be no assurance that the Selling Shareholders will sell any or all of the common shares registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
We are not aware of any plans, arrangements or understandings between the Selling Shareholders and any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent regarding the sale of common shares by the selling shareholders.
We will pay all expenses incident to the filing of this registration statement, estimated to be $[●]. These expenses include accounting and legal fees in connection with the preparation of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, legal and other fees in connection with the qualification of the sale of the shares under the laws of certain states (if any), registration and filing fees and other expenses.
