violation of any term of any employment contract, proprietary information agreement or any other agreement relating to the right of any such individual to be employed by, or to contract with, the Company; and to the Company’s Knowledge the
continued employment by the Company of its present employees, and the performance of the Company’s contracts with its independent contractors, will not result in any such violation. The Company has not received any written or, to the
Company’s Knowledge, other notice alleging that any such violation has occurred. The Company is not aware that any officer, key employee or group of employees intends to terminate his, her or their employment with the Company, nor does the
Company have a present intention to terminate the employment of any officer, key employee or group of employees. There are no actions pending, or to the Company’s Knowledge, threatened, by any former or current employee concerning such

all material respects. All taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns, any assessments imposed, and to the Company’s Knowledge all other taxes due and payable by the Company on or before the Closing, have been paid or will be paid prior
to the time they become delinquent. The Company has not been advised (a) that any of its returns, federal, state or other, have been or are being audited as of the date hereof, or (b) of any deficiency in assessment or proposed judgment to
its federal, state or other taxes. The Company has withheld or collected from each payment made to each of its employees, the amount of all taxes (including, but not limited to, federal income taxes, Federal Insurance Contribution Act taxes and

 2.17. Insurance. The Company has in place general commercial, product liability, fire and casualty insurance policies in such amounts and covering such risks as the Company reasonably believes to

The Company carries directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and such other policies of similar insurance approved from time to time by the board of directors of the Company, issued by nationally recognized, financially sound and
reputable insurers, with such coverage and in such amounts as are customary for similar companies. 
 2.18. Permits. The

a private placement or similar memorandum or any written disclosure of the types of information customarily furnished to purchasers of securities.

Agreement pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the Company shall hold such amount in such separate account free and clear of all Liens and shall not apply such amount for any purpose other than such repayment of

reserved against in accordance with GAAP; provided that the failure to make any such payments shall not constitute a breach of this covenant unless the aggregate amount of such payments would reasonably be expected to exceed $200,000.

Financing in accordance with the foregoing and, following the delivery of such Non-Qualified Financing Notice, the terms of the Non-Qualified Financing are revised in any manner materially favorable to the investors in such Non-Qualified Financing

contemplated by Section 4 hereof), (x) the Company shall, no later than ten (10) business days prior to the closing of such Sale Event but no earlier than ninety days prior to the reasonably anticipated closing date of such

occurrence of such Sale Event and in full satisfaction of this Note, an amount (the “Repayment Amount”) equal to the product of (i) either (x) 133.33%, in the event such Sale Event shall occur on or prior to June 30,

Conversion Date”) and the Holder shall be entitled to receive in connection with such Sale Event, in respect of the shares of Common Stock received by the Holder in such conversion, the same proceeds per share payable to each holder of
Common Stock in such Sale Event. In the event that, in connection with any Sale Event, the Holder shall not timely make the election in accordance with this Section 4.4(a), the Holder shall be deemed to have elected to require the
Company to pay to the Holder the Repayment Amount in cash under clause (i) above.

SECTION 2.02. No Subordination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein (but subject to the rights of the
Warrant Loan Secured Parities and Convertible Note Loan Secured Parties in respect of the Warrant Loan Liens and Convertible Note Liens), this Agreement does not subordinate the Noteholder Loan Obligations in right of payment to the Warrant Loan
Obligations or Convertible Note Loan Obligations, and nothing in this Agreement shall affect the entitlement the Noteholder to receive and retain required payments of interest, principal and other amounts in respect of the Noteholder Loan
Obligations. The Noteholder may, in accordance with the terms of the Noteholder Loan Documents and applicable law, enforce rights and exercise remedies against the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as unsecured creditors; provided that no such
action is otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Noteholder of the required payments of principal, premium, interest, fees and other amounts due under the Noteholder Loan

Borrower as provided in the Warrant Loan Documents, Convertible Note Loan Documents, or 

  
 5 

 
Noteholder Loan Documents, as applicable, in the event that any Warrant Loan Secured Party, any Convertible Note Loan Secured Party or the Noteholder receives any payment or distribution on or of
the Warrant Loan Obligations, the Convertible Note Loan Obligations or the Noteholder Loan Obligations, as applicable (including, without limitation, any optional or mandatory prepayment of any such amounts prior to the regularly schedule date of
payment thereof), in excess of its Applicable Percentage of such payment or distribution, such excess payment shall be remitted by such recipient to the other Applicable Creditor Control Parties, in an amount equal to each such other Applicable
Creditor Control Party’s Applicable Percentage of such excess payment and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by the recipient for the benefit of the other Applicable Creditor Parties. 

SECTION 2.04. Other Compensation. In the event that any Applicable Creditor Party shall receive any consent fee, waiver
fee, amendment fee, forbearance fee or any other similar fee or other payment or consideration in connection with any consent, waiver, amendment, forbearance or other similar event under the Warrant Loan Documents, Convertible Note Loan Documents,
or Noteholder Loan Documents, as applicable, in excess of its Applicable Percentage of such fee, payment or consideration, such excess payment shall be remitted by such recipient to the other Applicable Creditor Control Parties, in an amount equal
to each such other Applicable Creditor Control Party’s Applicable Percentage of such excess payment and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by the recipient for the benefit of the other Applicable Creditor Parties. 

SECTION 2.05. No Other Liens. The Warrant Lender Agent (on behalf of the Warrant Loan Secured Parties) hereby agrees that
neither the Warrant Lender Agent nor any Warrant Loan Lender shall accept the benefit of any Lien with respect to any assets or property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries other than a Lien granted in favor of the Warrant Lender Agent as
representative of the Warrant Loan Secured Parties pursuant to the Warrant Loan Documents. The Convertible Note Lender Agent (on behalf of the Convertible Note Loan Secured Parties) hereby agrees that neither the Convertible Note Lender Agent nor
any Convertible Note Loan Lender shall accept the benefit of any Lien with respect to any assets or property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries other than a Lien granted in favor of the Convertible Note Lender Agent as representative of the
Convertible Note Loan Secured Parties pursuant to the Convertible Note Loan Documents.

under the applicable Warrant Loan Documents, 

  
 6 

 
Convertible Note Loan Documents or Noteholder Loan Documents or under applicable law, the Applicable Creditor Parties shall notify each of the other Applicable Credit Control Parties of such
default, event of default or other violation and, to the extent reasonably practicable, shall permit each of the other Applicable Creditor Control Parties to have an opportunity to discuss such default, event of default or other violation, and any
potential Remedial Action in respect thereof, with such Applicable Creditor Parties. 
 SECTION 3.02. Collateral
Matters. In the event that any Warrant Loan Secured Party or Convertible Note Loan Secured Party shall take any Remedial Action in respect of the Collateral, the Warrant Lender Agent (on behalf of the Warrant Loan Secured Parties) and the
