​
3.  OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY. In connection with any registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall have the following obligations:
​
a. The Company shall prepare promptly, and file with the SEC as soon as practicable after such registration obligation arises hereunder (but in no event later than the applicable Filing Deadline), a Registration Statement with respect to the number of Registrable Securities provided in Section 2(a), as applicable, and thereafter use its best efforts to cause each such Registration Statement relating to Registrable Securities to become effective as soon as possible after such filing, but in any event shall cause each such Registration Statement relating to Registrable Securities to become effective no later than the Registration Deadline, and shall thereafter keep the Registration Statement current and effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until such date as is the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement have been sold and (ii) the date on which no Investor holds any Registrable Securities (the “Registration Period”), which Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein), except for information provided in writing by an Investor pursuant to Section 4(a), 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 not misleading.  In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of any Registrable Securities hereunder (but, for the avoidance of doubt, without in any way affecting the Company’s obligation to register the resale of the Registrable Securities on such other form as is available, as provided in Section 2(a)), (i) the Company shall undertake to file, within twenty-five (25) days of such time as such form is available for such registration, a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement then in effect, or otherwise file a Registration Statement on Form S-3, registering such Registrable Securities on Form S-3; provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement (or post-effective amendment) on Form S-3 covering such Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC, and
​

​
(ii) the Company shall provide that any Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed hereunder shall incorporate documents by reference (including by way of forward incorporation by reference) to the maximum extent possible.
​
b. Subject to Section 3(q) hereof, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to each Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with each Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep each Registration Statement current and effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during the Registration Period, shall comply with the provisions of the Securities Act applicable to the Company with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities 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.  In the event that on any Trading Day (as defined below) the number of shares available under the Registration Statements filed pursuant to this Agreement is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities issued or issuable upon conversion of, or otherwise pursuant to, the Convertible Note (the “Registration Trigger Date”), without giving effect to any limitations on the Investors’ ability to convert the Convertible Note (but giving effect to the Exchange Cap (as defined in the Convertible Note) unless the Company obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Principal Market (as defined in the Convertible Note)), then the Company shall as soon as practicable, but in any event within twenty (20) days after the Registration Trigger Date, amend the Registration Statements, or file a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover the total number of Registrable Securities so issued or issuable (assuming a Conversion Price (as defined in the Convertible Note) of Fifty Cents ($0.50) (subject to appropriate adjustment for any Stock Event that occurs after the date of this Agreement) and without giving effect to any limitations on conversion contained in the Convertible Note, but giving effect to the Exchange Cap unless the Company obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Principal Market) as of the second Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the filing of such amendment or new Registration Statement with the SEC.  The Company shall use its best efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof, but in any event the Company shall cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective within sixty (60) days of the Registration Trigger Date or as promptly as practicable in the event the Company is required to increase its authorized shares.  “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is traded for any period on the NASDAQ Global Market (the “NasdaqGM”), or if not the NasdaqGM, the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE American, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Capital Market or, in each case, any successor thereto.  For purposes of the foregoing provision, the number of shares available under a Registration Statement shall be deemed “insufficient to cover all Registrable Securities” specified above if as of any date of determination (A) the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the sum of (x) the total number of Conversion Shares so issued or issuable (assuming a Conversion Price of Fifty Cents ($0.50) (subject to appropriate adjustment for any Stock Event that occurs after the date of this Agreement) and without giving effect to any limitations on conversion contained in the Convertible Note, but giving effect to the Exchange Cap unless the Company obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Principal Market) plus (y) the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise beneficially owned by the Investors that remain Registrable Securities as of such date of determination is greater than (B) the number of shares of Common Stock available for resale under such Registration Statement.  The foregoing calculations shall be made without regard to any limitations on conversion of the Convertible Note.
​
c. The Company shall furnish or otherwise make available to each Investor and its legal counsel (i) promptly after the same is prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC or received by the Company, one copy of each Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, each preliminary prospectus and prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto, and, in the case of a Registration Statement referred to in Section 2(a), each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC, and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in each case relating to such Registration Statement (other than any portion of any thereof which contains information for which the Company has sought or intends to seek confidential treatment); and provided that the Company may excise any information contained therein which would constitute material non-public information as to any Investor which has not executed a confidentiality agreement with the Company, and (ii) such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto and such other documents as an Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor; provided that the Company may determine in its reasonable judgment to provide any such copies in electronic form only.  The Company will promptly notify each of the Investors by electronic mail of the effectiveness of each Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment.
​

​
The Company will respond to any and all comments received from the SEC as soon as reasonably practicable, with a view towards causing each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable and, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than three (3) business days, following the resolution or clearance of all SEC comments or, if applicable, following notification by the SEC that any such Registration Statement or any amendment thereto will not be subject to review, shall file a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date not later than two (2) business days after the submission of such request; provided, however, that if during such period, the Company is unable to file such acceleration request because such acceleration request would otherwise be filed more than 45, but less than 76 days, after the end of the Company’s most recent fiscal year and the audited financial statements for such fiscal year are unavailable at such time, such obligation to file an acceleration request shall be extended until the first business day following the earlier of (a) the deadline (without regard to any extensions that may be permitted by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act) for filing by the Company of an annual report on Form 10-K containing such financial statements with the SEC and (b) the date on which the Company files an annual report on Form 10-K containing such financial statements with the SEC.  After such Registration Statement becomes effective, the Company will file with the SEC the final prospectus included therein pursuant to Rule 424 (or successor thereto) under the Securities Act within the time period required by the Securities Act.
​
d. The Company shall use its best efforts to (i) register and qualify, in any jurisdiction where registration and/or qualification is required, the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statements under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Investors shall reasonably request in writing, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be reasonably necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the 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 3(d), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.
​
e. Subject to Section 3(q) hereof, as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, the Company shall notify each Investor that holds Registrable Securities of the happening of any event, of which the Company has knowledge, as a result of which the prospectus included in any 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 the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to any Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver such number of copies of such supplement or amendment to each Investor as such Investor may reasonably request.
​
f. The Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of any Registration Statement, and, if such an order is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest practicable moment and to notify each Investor that holds Registrable Securities (and, in the event of an underwritten offering, the managing underwriters) of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof.
​
g. The Company shall permit a single firm of counsel designated by the Investors (“Legal Counsel”) to review such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (as well as all requests for acceleration or effectiveness thereof), for a reasonable period of time prior to their filing with the SEC and use commercially reasonable efforts to reflect in such documents any comments as such counsel may reasonably propose (so long as such comments are provided to the Company at least two (2) business days prior to the expected filing date) (provided that the Company shall make the final decision as to the form and content of each such document) and will not request acceleration of such Registration Statement without prior notice to Legal Counsel. Any fees incurred by Legal Counsel shall be governed by Section 6 of this Agreement.
​
h. The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of 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
​

​
any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other 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 or any other agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning any Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to such Investor prior to making such disclosure, and allow such Investor, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.
​
i. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause all 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.
​
j. The Company shall provide a transfer agent and registrar, which may be a single entity, for the Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of the initial Registration Statement.
​
k. The Company shall cooperate with each Investor that holds Registrable Securities being offered and the managing underwriter or underwriters as reasonably requested by them with respect to an applicable Registration Statement, if any, to facilitate the timely (i) preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to such Registration Statement, and enable such certificates to be registered in such names and in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, or (ii) crediting of the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement to the applicable account (or accounts) with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian (DWAC) system, in any such case as such Investor or the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, may reasonably request.  Within three (3) business days after a Registration Statement which includes Registrable Securities becomes effective, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for the Registrable Securities (with copies to each Investor) an appropriate instruction and an opinion of such counsel in the form required by the transfer agent in order to issue the Registrable Securities free of restrictive legends.
​
l.

The Company shall not, and shall not agree to, allow the holders of any securities of the Company to include any of their securities (other than Registrable Securities) in any Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or any amendment or supplement thereto under Section 3(b) hereof without the consent of Investors holding a majority-in-interest of the then outstanding Registrable Securities.

​
c.

​

​
d. Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(e) or 3(f), such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such Investor’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(e) or 3(f).
​
e.

7. INDEMNIFICATION. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:
​
a. The Company will indemnify, hold harmless and defend (i) each Investor, (ii) the directors, officers, partners, managers, members, employees, agents of each Investor, and each Person who controls any Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, if any, (iii) any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for each Investor in connection with an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, and (iv) the directors, officers, partners, employees and each Person who controls any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, if any (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any joint or several losses,
​

​
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (collectively, together with actions, proceedings or inquiries by any regulatory or self-regulatory organization, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof, “Claims”) to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in any Registration Statement, or any amendment as supplement thereto, or any filing made under state securities laws as required hereby, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading; or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, “Violations”). The Company shall reimburse the Indemnified Person, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable and documented legal fees and other reasonable and documented expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 7(a) (A) shall not apply to a Claim arising out of or based upon a Violation to the extent that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of such Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; and (B) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by any of the Investors pursuant to Section 10.
​
b. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Section 7, deliver to the Company a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the Company shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the Company so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the Company and the Indemnified Person, as the case may be;
​
provided, however, that an Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the reasonable and documented fees and expenses to be paid by the Company, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for such Indemnified Person, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person and the Company would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Company shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for the Indemnified Persons, and such legal counsel shall be selected by the Investors. The failure to deliver written notice to the Company within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the Company of any liability to the Indemnified Person under this Section 7, except to the extent that the Company is actually prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.  The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Persons, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise with respect to any Claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be or has been sought hereunder (whether or not any such Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Persons of a full release from all liability with respect to such Claim or which includes any admission as to fault or culpability on the part of any Indemnified Person.
​
c.  Each Investor will indemnify, hold harmless and defend (i) the Company, and (ii) the directors, officers, partners, managers, members, employees, or agents of the Company, if any (each, a “Company Indemnified Person”), against any Claims to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities, which occurs due to the inclusion by the Company in a Registration Statement of false or misleading information about an Investor, where such information was furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Investor expressly for the purpose of inclusion in such Registration Statement.  Such Investor shall reimburse the Company Indemnified Person, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees
​

​
or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7(c) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Investors, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and provided, further, however, that an Investor shall be liable under this Section 7(c) for only that amount of a Claim as does not exceed the net amount of proceeds received by such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company Indemnified Person.
​
d.  Promptly after receipt by a Company Indemnified Person under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Company Indemnified Person shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any Investor under this Section 7, deliver to such Investor a written notice of the commencement thereof, and such Investor shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent such Investor so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to such Investor and such Company Indemnified Person.
​
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that a Company Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the applicable Investor, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Company, the representation by such counsel of the Company Indemnified Person and the Investor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential material differing interests between the Company Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. An Investor shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for the Company Indemnified Persons, and such legal counsel shall be selected by the Company. The failure to deliver written notice to the Investor within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the Investor of any liability to the Company Indemnified Person under this Section 7, except to the extent that the Investor is actually prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.  No Investor shall, without the prior written consent of the Company Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise with respect to any Claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be or has been sought hereunder (whether or not any such Company Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Company Indemnified Person of a full release from all liability with respect to such Claim or which includes any admission as to fault or culpability on the part of any Company Indemnified Person.
​
8.  CONTRIBUTION.  If for any reason the indemnification provided for in Section 7(a) or 7(c) (as applicable) is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or Company Indemnified Person (as applicable) or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Person or Company Indemnified Person (as applicable) as a result of the Claim in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Person or Company Indemnified Person (as applicable) and the indemnifying party (provided that the relative fault of any Company Indemnified Person shall be deemed to include the fault of all other Company Indemnified Persons), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution from any Person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  In no event shall the contribution obligation of an Investor be greater in amount than the net amount of proceeds received by such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement (net of the aggregate amount of any damages or other amounts such Investor has otherwise been required to pay (pursuant to Section 7(c) or otherwise) by reason of such Investor’s untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission).
​
9.  REPORTS UNDER THE 1934 ACT.  From the date of this Agreement until the first business day on which no Convertible Note is convertible into shares of Common Stock of the Company, with a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company agrees to:
​
a.  make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
​
​

​
b.  file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and
​
c.  so long as any of the Investors owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, furnish to such Investor (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act as required for applicable provisions of Rule 144, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit such Investor to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.
​
10.  ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.  The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by each Investor to any transferee of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities (provided such transfer is permitted under the Convertible Note) if:  (i) such Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment, (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, and (iii) the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein as applicable to the Investors.  In the event that an Investor transfers all or any portion of its Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section, the Company shall have up to ten (10) days to file any amendments or supplements necessary to keep a Registration Statement current and effective pursuant to Rule 415, and the commencement date of any Registration Failure (as defined in the Convertible Note) caused thereby will be extended by ten (10) days.
​
11.  AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.  Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with written consent of the Company and the holders of a majority-in-interest of then-outstanding Registrable Securities.  Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 11 shall be binding upon each of the Investors and the Company.
​
12.  MISCELLANEOUS.
​
a.  A Person is deemed to hold, and be a holder of, shares of Common Stock or other Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns of record or beneficially through a “street name” holder such shares of Common Stock or other Registrable Securities (or the Convertible Note or Conversion Shares, without giving effect to any limitations on exercise, conversion or exchange of the Convertible Note, Conversion Shares or other securities), and solely for purposes hereof, Registrable Securities shall be deemed outstanding to the extent they are directly or indirectly issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Note,  without giving effect to any limits on exercise, conversion or exchange of the Convertible Note, Conversion Shares or other securities.  If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities (or the Convertible Note or Conversion Shares or other securities upon exercise, conversion, redemption or exchange of which such Registrable Securities are directly or indirectly issuable).
​
b.  Any notices required or permitted to be given under the terms hereof shall be sent by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested) or delivered personally or by courier (including a recognized overnight delivery service) or by electronic mail and shall be effective five days after being placed in the mail, if mailed by regular United States mail, or upon receipt, if delivered personally or by courier (including a recognized overnight delivery service) or by electronic mail, in each case addressed to a party.

Subordinated Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that if Borrower’s failure to make any payments due and payable to the Subordinated Lender under the Subordinated Loan Documents is due solely to this Agreement prohibiting any such payments, such failure shall not constitute a default or event of default under the Subordinated Loan Documents.

If any Distribution on account of the Subordinated Loan not permitted to be made by Borrower or accepted by Subordinated Lender under this Agreement is made to and received by Subordinated Lender, such Distribution shall not be commingled with any of the assets of Subordinated Lender, shall be held in trust by Subordinated Lender for the benefit of Senior Lenders and shall be promptly paid over to the Senior Lenders for application in accordance with the Senior Loan Documents to the payment of the Senior Loans then remaining unpaid, until all of the Senior Loans are Paid in Full.
2.4.       Subordination of Liens and Security Interests; Agreement Not to Contest; Agreement to Release any Liens. Subordinated Lender hereby acknowledges, agrees, represents and warrants that none of the Subordinated Loans nor any portion thereof is as of the date hereof, or at any time in the future shall be, secured by any lien or security interest in any of the Collateral, the equity interests in Borrower or any other asset of Borrower, or guaranteed by any Person. Without limiting the foregoing, until the Senior Loans have been Paid in Full, all liens and security interests of Subordinated Lender in the Collateral, if any, shall be and hereby are subordinated for all purposes and in all respects to the liens and security interests of Senior Lenders in the Collateral, regardless of the time, manner or order of perfection of any such liens and security interests and regardless of any failure, whether intervening or continuing, of Senior Lenders’ liens and security interests to be perfected; provided, however, that each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the existence of any lien or security interest of Subordinated Lender would constitute an automatic and immediate Event of Default under the Facility Agreement and a breach of this Agreement. Subordinated Lender agrees that it will not at any time contest the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Senior Loans, the Senior Loan Documents, or the liens and security interests of Senior Lenders in the Collateral securing the Senior Loans. In the event that any lien or security interest arises in favor of Subordinated Lender, immediately upon Senior Lenders’ request, Subordinated Lender shall or shall cause its agent to promptly execute and deliver to Senior Lenders such termination statements and releases as Senior Lenders shall reasonably request to effect the release of the liens and security interests of Subordinated Lender in any such Collateral.
2.5.       Sale, Transfer or other Disposition of Subordinated Loan. The Subordinated Lender shall not sell, assign, pledge, dispose of or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Subordinated Loans or any Subordinated Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Senior Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, if any such sale, assignment, pledge, disposition or other transfer is made in contravention of this Agreement, the subordination effected hereby shall survive such sale, assignment, pledge, disposition or other transfer of all or any portion of the Subordinated Loans, and the terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Subordinated Lender.
2.6.       Legends. Until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8 hereof, Subordinated Lender will cause to be clearly, conspicuously and prominently inserted on the face of each Subordinated Loan Document, the following legend:
“THIS INSTRUMENT OR OTHER AGREEMENT AND THE INDEBTEDNESS, RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS EVIDENCED HEREBY ARE SUBORDINATE IN THE MANNER AND TO THE EXTENT SET FORTH IN THAT CERTAIN SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF FEBRUARY 8, 2021 (AS AMENDED, RESTATED, SUPPLEMENTED OR MODIFIED FROM TIME TO
​

​

​
TIME, THE “SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT”), BY AND AMONG (I) NEOS THERAPEUTICS, INC. (THE “COMPANY”), (II) THE SUBORDINATED LENDER IDENTIFIED THEREIN, AND (III) DEERFIELD PRIVATE DESIGN FUND III, L.P. AND DEERFIELD PARTNERS, L.P., AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS (THE “SENIOR LENDERS”), TO CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS, RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF OBLIGORS TO THE SENIOR LENDERS, AND ALL LIENS AND SECURITY INTERESTS OF SENIOR LENDER SECURING THE SAME, ALL AS DESCRIBED IN THE SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT, AND EACH HOLDER AND TRANSFEREE OF THIS INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THE PROVISIONS OF THE SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT.”
2.7.       Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy. In the event of any Proceeding involving Borrower:
(a)         Any Distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, that would otherwise, but for the terms hereof, be payable or deliverable in respect of the Subordinated Loan, shall be paid or delivered directly to the Senior Lenders (to be held and/or applied by Senior Lenders in accordance with the terms of the Senior Loan Documents) until all of the Senior Loans are Paid in Full. Subordinated Lender irrevocably authorizes, empowers and directs any debtor, debtor in possession, receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian, conservator or other Person having authority, to pay or otherwise deliver all such Distributions to Senior Lenders. Subordinated Lender also irrevocably authorizes and empowers Senior Lenders, in the name of Subordinated Lender, to demand, sue for, collect and receive any and all such Distributions.
(b)         Subordinated Lender agrees that Senior Lenders may consent to the use of cash collateral or provide financing to the Borrower on such terms and conditions and in such amounts as Senior Lenders, in their sole discretion, may decide and, in connection therewith, the Borrower may grant to Senior Lenders liens and security interests upon all of the property of Borrower, which liens and security interests (i) shall secure payment of the Senior Loans (whether such Senior Loans arose prior to the commencement of any Proceeding or at any time thereafter) and all other financing provided by Senior Lenders during the Proceeding, and (ii) shall be superior in priority to the liens and security interests, if any, in favor of Subordinated Lender on the property of Borrower. Subordinated Lender agrees that it will not object to or oppose a sale or other disposition of any property securing all of any part of the Senior Loans free and clear of security interests, liens or other claims of Subordinated Lender under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code if Senior Lenders have consented to such sale or disposition. Subordinated Lender agrees not to assert any right it may have to “adequate protection” of Subordinated Lender’s interest in any Collateral in any Proceeding. Subordinated Lender waives any claim it may now or hereafter have arising out of Senior Lenders’ election, in any Proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and/or any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code by the Borrower, as debtor in possession. Subordinated Lender further agrees that it will not seek to participate or participate on any creditors’ committee of the Borrower without Senior Lenders’ prior written consent.
(c)         Subordinated Lender agrees to execute, verify, deliver and file any proofs
​

​

​
of claim in respect of the Subordinated Loans requested by Senior Lenders in connection with any such Proceeding and hereby irrevocably authorizes, empowers and appoints Senior Lenders as its agent and attorney-in­ fact to (i) execute, verify, deliver and file such proofs of claim upon the failure of Subordinated Lender promptly to do so prior to thirty (30) days before the expiration of the time to file any such proof of claim, and (ii) vote such claim in any such Proceeding upon the failure of Subordinated Lender to do so prior to fifteen (15) days before the expiration of the time to vote any such claim; provided, however, that Senior Lenders shall have no obligation to execute, verify, deliver, file and/or vote any such proof of claim. In the event that Senior Lenders vote any claim in accordance with the authority granted hereby, Subordinated Lender shall not be entitled to change or withdraw such vote. Subordinated Lender hereby assigns to Senior Lenders or their nominee (and will, upon request of Senior Lenders, reconfirm in writing the assignment to Senior Lenders or its nominee of) all of its rights under such claims.
(d)         The Senior Loans shall continue to be treated as the Senior Loans and the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to govern the relative rights and priorities of Senior Lenders and Subordinated Lender even if all or part of the Senior Loans or the security interests securing the Senior Loans are subordinated, set aside, avoided, invalidated or disallowed in connection with any such Proceeding, and this Agreement shall be reinstated if at any time any payment of any of the Senior Loans is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any holder of the Senior Loans or any representative of such holder.
3.    Modifications.
3.1.       Modifications to Senior Loan Documents. Senior Lenders may at any time and from time to time without the consent of Subordinated Lenders, without providing any notice to the Senior Lenders, without incurring liability to Subordinated Lenders and without impairing or releasing the obligations of Subordinated Lender under this Agreement, change the manner or place of payment or alter any of the terms of the Senior Loans, or amend in any manner any agreement, note, guaranty or other instrument evidencing or securing or otherwise relating to the Senior Loans.
3.2.       Modifications to Subordinated Loan Documents; Maximum Principal Amount of Subordinated Loan. Until the Senior Loans have been Paid in Full, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Subordinated Loan Documents, Subordinated Lender shall not, without the prior written consent of the Senior Lenders, agree to any amendment, modification or supplement to the Subordinated Loan Documents other than, so long as a copy is provided to Senior Lenders, an amendment for the sole purpose of extending the maturity date of the Subordinated Loans. Nothing herein, including the provisions of this Agreement pertaining to subordination of liens on the Collateral, shall be construed to imply Senior Lenders’ consent to any Subordinated Loan Document which grants a lien upon any of the Collateral or the making of any other loans or other advances by Subordinated Lender.
4.    Waiver of Certain Rights by Subordinated Lender.
4.1.       Marshaling. Subordinated Lender hereby waives any rights it may have under applicable law to assert the doctrine of marshaling or to otherwise require Senior Lenders to marshal any property of Borrower or any other guarantor of the Senior Loans for the benefit of Subordinated Lender.
4.2.       Rights Relating to Senior Lenders’ Actions with respect to the Collateral.
​

6
​

​
Subordinated Lender hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any rights which it may have to enjoin or otherwise obtain a judicial or administrative order preventing any Senior Lender from taking, or refraining from taking, any action with respect to all or any part of the Collateral. Without limitation of the foregoing, Subordinated Lender hereby agrees (a) that it has no right to direct or object to the manner in which Senior Lender enforces its rights and remedies with respect to, or applies the proceeds of the Collateral resulting from the exercise by any Senior Lender of rights and remedies under the Senior Loan Documents to the Senior Loans, and (b) that no Senior Lender has assumed any obligation to act as the agent for Subordinated Lender with respect to the Collateral.
4.3.       Rights Relating to Disclosures. Subordinated Lender hereby agrees that Senior Lenders have not assumed any obligation or duty to disclose information regarding Borrower or the Senior Loans to Subordinated Lender, and Senior Lenders shall not have a special or fiduciary relationship to Subordinated Lender. Subordinated Lender hereby fully waives and releases Senior Lenders from any affirmative disclosures which may be required of Senior Lenders under applicable law.
5.    Construction. The terms of this Agreement were negotiated among business persons sophisticated in the area of business finance, and accordingly, in construing the terms of this Agreement, no rule or law which would require that this instrument be construed against the party who drafted this instrument shall be given any force or effect.
6.    Modification of this Agreement. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or consent to any departure by any party from the terms hereof, shall be effective in any event unless the same is in writing and signed by Senior Lenders or such other holder of the Senior Loans and Subordinated Lender or such other holder of the Subordinated Loans, and then such modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. Any notice to or demand on any party hereto in any event not specifically required hereunder shall not entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances unless specifically required hereunder.
7.    Further Assurances. Each party to this Agreement promptly will execute and deliver such further instruments and agreements and do such further acts and things as may be reasonably requested in writing by any other party hereto that may be necessary or desirable in order to effect fully the purposes of this Agreement.
8.    Continuing Agreement. This is a continuing agreement and will remain in full force and effect until all of the obligations under the Senior Loan Documents have been Paid in Full after which this Agreement shall terminate without further action on the part of the parties hereto; provided, that if any payment is, subsequent to such termination, recovered from any holder of Senior Loans, this Agreement shall be reinstated. This Agreement will continue to be effective or will be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of all or any part of the Senior Loan Documents or the obligations thereunder is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Senior Lenders upon insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of any Obligor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
9.    Notices. Any notice, request or other communication to be given or made under this Agreement shall be in writing. Such notice, request or other communication shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when it shall be delivered by hand, overnight mail, international courier (confirmed by facsimile), electronic mail or facsimile to the party to which it is required or permitted to be given or made at such party’s address specified below or at such other address as such party shall have designated by notice to the other parties:

The parties hereto agree that all claims, controversies and disputes of any kind or nature relating in any way to the enforcement or interpretation of this Agreement or to the parties’ dealings, rights or obligations in connection herewith, shall be brought exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, borough of Manhattan. With respect to any such claims, controversies or disputes, each of the Parties hereby irrevocably:

This Agreement and any amendment hereto may be executed and delivered in any number of counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

13.5.     Relative Rights. This Agreement shall define the relative rights of Senior Lenders and Subordinated Lender.
